Why is this happening to me?

"MOMM…Wake up. WAKE UPPP."

Why do I feel so helpless…so powerless?

"Da…DAD….Get up…we need to get out of here fast."

Just when everything was starting to get better. Why did I have them come here?

"Aditi…are you ok? Help me get this rubble out of the way. We need to take mom and dad to the shelter."

All around there is fire. The acrid smell of smoke clawed at his lungs. The distant cries of strangers blended with the crackling of flames devouring the collapsing buildings trying to run away from someone or something.

I need to do something…anything…I cannot let it end here. I won't let it all end here.

*System Notification*

A strange spark appears out of thin air. With it came a blue translucent screen hovering in front of my eyes.

*The world is about to end but even in this crisis, you wish to fight back. The System recognizes your resolve*

*You have been chosen to be 'Awakened'*

*Do you have what it takes to survive in this world? Y/N*

"I don't know what is happening, but the answer seems clear. YES"

*CONGRATULATIONS…You have been given the title of 'The Awakened'*
