Chereads / ENIGMA: THE WORLD UNKNOWN / Chapter 2 - Chapter 1 : THE SOUND OF THE BEGINNING

Chapter 2 - Chapter 1 : THE SOUND OF THE BEGINNING

Swords and magic, Supernatural abilities. It was a first for Jared to witness such scenes. Fragments of buildings destroyed through battles were floating through the air, and deafening loud booms of thunder and explosions are heard from afar.

"What the f*ck is this?!"

Jared shouted internally puzzled, astonished by the phenomenon he was witnessing for the first time. It was only but a day ago when he woke up in this place introduced as ENIGMA.

"Son, Time to wake up! You'll be late for school!"

Mrs. Reyes shouted as she cooked her son breakfast.

"Yes, I'll be there in a sec."

Jared answered as he woke up and fixed himself. He goes outside his room and went straight to the kitchen to eat. Casually sitting down he mumbled,

"Mhm... As always mom's cooking is delish."

He did an ok hand sign below his lips and blows a flying kiss. His mom chuckled.

"Really? Even though it's just some commercial ham?"

"No mom! This is not just some ham. This here is cooked by you."

Jared teased his mom as they both laughed almost choking the boy.

"There there, slow down. Stop talking while eating. You are just like your father."

"Yeah, I guess..."

The mood quickly changed. As if rain suddenly dropped after a hot day, from the joy it shifted. Sadness and Longing. They remembered another member of the family, his dad. Jared stared at his wrist watch reminiscing about his deceased father. It was his father's last gift before his death.

"Umm.. mom I should go."

He then goes back to his room and took a bath, fixing himself ready for school. Riding his bike he waved going to school,

"Bye mom, see you later!"

He was only a 17-year-old boy who was still in senior high school. He lost his father 3 years ago leaving only the wristwatch he valued the most to Jared. They have a great relationship, despite the busyness of work, his dad always gets the time to play with Jared creating a deep bond between the two.

"What was that?"

Jared mumbled as he felt a weird, deafening high-pitched ringing sound echo in his head. He almost lost consciousness but was able to stand his ground. This is already normal for him as he experienced it little by little each day but, today seems to be unnatural.
