Early in the morning when the sun is already rising.
In one apartment that facing the rising sun an alarm clock ringing can be can be heard.
Inside the apartment a hand suddenly tap the alarm making the ringing sound disappear.
From the bed a boy with black hair and brown eyes with light color skin lazily get up and look at the phone on the table besides the bed.
yawn~~~ 6:30am
"Shit it's already 6:30 i missed the ealier alarms"
With a hurried movements the boy rapidly fix the bed then go to the bathroom.
After few minutes the door of the bathroom opened and the boy get out of it quickly.
Picking clothes in the closet and wearing it then checking the clock again to know how much time he has left before he'll be late.
6:38
"Sigh~~~ I'll better start thinking of an explanation "
The boy wore the shoes then pick up the bag thats been lying down below the table where his phone had been.
With a quick steps the boy moves to bedroom to the front door then locked it.
Making sure that it is locked properly he twist the door handle couple times then hurriedly walk down the stairs of the apartment.
After getting down he begun to run in the nearest bus station.
While running he passed an small park and saw people jogging some were just like him moving hurriedly others were walking with their dogs.
"Ahh how nice it be to just relax in the morning. I would'nt feel like this if i didn't stay up late "
"Well what done is done what i should do now is have an good excuse"
After few minutes of running he reached the bus station and board one while thinking of excuse to use.
....
A bus suddenly stop at one of the school. The school is one of the simple looking school not to grand or big but not bad and small either.
It is a public college school with students numbering at least a thousand.
The bus door open and a boy quickly get off the bus and run at the school.
After a minute of running the boy enter one of the room and sat on one of the chairs.
A sigh of relief escape from his mouth after catching his breath.
'Looks like I won't be able to use the excuse i come up with'
Suddenly a voice called out to him
"Oyy Ronn"
The boy named Ronn suddenly look to his side and saw his friend.
He opened his mouth and replied. "Yo Drik"
Drik feature is normal with black hair, brown eyes, light brown skin, decent build standing at 182cm.
"What happen? why are you late?" (Drik)
"I tried watching an anime and become addicted so I watch till 4 in the morning" (Ronn)
"hahaha finally my effort to convince you to watch anime paid off" (Drik)
"Yeah yeah" (Ronn)
Suddenly the room became quite and the teacher came in and said
"Good Morning"
Ronn and Drik stopped talking and face forward. The teacher then started the class.
An hour later the teacher packed his belongings and leaves the room.
Drik aprroach me while dragging his seat beside my own and began to recommend some animes to watch.
While he was talking suddenly an interface appeard in my vision.
If i were to describe what I am seeing its like something you would see in a game.
Yes, a game.
While I was observing it I heard someone shouting.
"YESSSSSSSSS"
All the students inside the room like me and Drik look at the source of the loud yell.
Drik then turned to me and ask in confusion.
"Are you seeing this too?" (Drik)
I replied. "What?"
"This floating message" (Drik)
"I can't see yours but i can see something floating in front of me"
[ Welcome Inhabitants Of This World ]
Please Prepare For The Introduction
Of The System. In the Upcoming Minutes The Assimilation Of This World With Mana Will Begin. Time Remaining: 2:59 mins.
After the yell it become loud again not from yelling or shouting but from the reactions of the students.
While sitting in my chair I open my phone. After opening it then browsing in the social media platforms to see whats happening and saw many post about the floating interface.
Clicking at one post the has many Comments. I begun reading it.

While reading more comments Drik spoke to me.
"Ronn should we prepare?"
"Prepare what? We don't even know what will happen" (Ronn)
"Tools??? For protection. Look at that otaku with 8 grade syndrome he suddenly run while laughing weirdly 'Heheheh i can finally become strong hehehehe" (Drik)
Suddenly the voice of the principal echo throughout the school.
"HELLO THIS IS PRINCIPAL OF THE SCHOOL. PLEASE REMAIN CALM AND DON'T PANIC REMAIN INSIDE YOUR ROOM AND WAIT FOR THE AUTHORITIES TO ARRIVE. AS FOR THE MESSAGE FLOATING I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS IT EITHER SO JUST CALM.
WE ARE ALREADY CONTACTED TO AUTHORITIES AND THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT FOR INFORMATION.
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS WAIT. THEN THATS ALL. REMAIN CALM."
"Hmmm, the principal said we remain calm and wait inside the room. But I think we should at least find something that can be use for protection like you said" (Ronn)
"Should we pick some metal tube in the storage room?" (Drik)
"Metal tube huh~ that good lets go" (Ronn)
We begun moving to the storage room, currently our classroom is empty because when the commotion occurs many students begun running outside the school before the principal announcement resound across the school.
We begun moving a bit faster because there's only 30 seconds left in the message.
Fortunately our classroom is only few room apart so we reach it after few seconds. Then we begun searching for metal tube.
Drik tossed something to me. After catching it I take a look at it and found that it's an mop handle.
"You okay with that??" (Drik)
"Thanks, this will do. Good thing this is made from a metal. What about you?" (Ronn)
"Mine? heh~ look at this" (Drik)
Drik then reveal what he got and then smirk. What is he got is an Baseball bat a metal one at that.
'sigh~~ how lucky'
Without a warning a light filled my vision and disappeared where I stood.
