Cold, that's all I felt today it was freezing I had just finished putting my things into my locker when arriving at school. What a disappointment today has been first after waking up this morning I couldn't find my only jacket, then after rushing to make it on time for school my car wouldn't start. Today has had a rough start I had to run to make it on time today, thankfully I lived only a few blocks away from the school or I'm sure I would have been late.
No matter how rough today has been I'm going to make sure today is a good day, after all today is the day I Jacob Johnson ask Madison Jamely to the dance. Madison Jamely she's by far the prettiest girl in the 11th grade I myself am in the 12th nothing is bringing my mood down today. Arriving at my first period Mr.Jacobs Science class I sat down in my usual seat and waited for class to start.
Soon enough the bell rang and Mr.Jacobs walked in holding onto his usual clipboard.
< Attention class today I have a treat for you, since I still have some papers to grade I'm going to be putting on a movie so remember don't be too loud other than that knock yourselves out. >
Another movie sheesh that's 3 days in a row now I know I should be grateful but honestly, I wanted to learn something new that’s always been a habit of mine. No matter what the subject is if it interests me I wanted to know more science was such a subject but, nothing I could do about it.
I started to doze off about halfway through the movie I had the same dream I've had for the past 6 years I don't really remember it in much detail but, I see stars an open sky no buildings or anything of the sort in the way. The ethereal colors of space a long with the countless stars sucks you in I was falling into a deep slumber but, something strange happened in that dream strange colors started flashing in my head.
First there was red, purple, green, and finally yellow I woke up before I saw anything else but, that's never happened before I had goosebumps all over thinking nothing of it I decided to just watch the movie. It was a sappy romcom of a guy falling in love with one of his bosses, shortly after the movie came to a close the bell for next period ran.
Everyone gathered there things and started heading out the doors, high school hallways are like traffic there's a steady flow going one way and if you try to go against that flow you're bound to be late for class. Walking towards my 2nd period Mrs.Willson for Math I started seeing those weird colors all around me, I decided once I got into my next class I'd ask Mrs.Willson for a nurse's pass. Walking into Mrs.Willsons room the first thing I heard was.
< Hey look it's Freakshow. >
The person who said that was Ricky Kelson same year as me, I got the nickname freakshow during the first week of school when I was called on by Mrs.Willson to answer a question on the board. The question was a college level question not knowing she asked me to erase the board while she gathered materials for the lesson I answered it surprising her. Soon after she decided that if I could answer this the whole class should be able to and assigned our class specifically extra homework.
That is how I was dubbed the ever so creative name of Freakshow, ignoring the meatheads in the corner I walked over to Mrs.Willson who was sitting at her desk and came up with an excuse for going to the nurses.
< Mrs.Willson can I go to the nurses office, I just vomited in the restroom downstairs and I'm not feeling so well.>
She quickly wrote the pass and asked me if I needed someone to walk me down I declined her offer and went to grab my things, works every time I used this excuse quite a bit in 9th grade the teachers won't question you. As long as you're not barfing in there room they don't care. Grabbing onto the railings to go down the stairs I suddenly got a massive headache, once again the same colors appeared except this time it was more vivid I saw something or someone holding their hands in front of them as if to catch something.
Soon enough I collapsed onto the floor shit no one was around right now it was the middle of class no one was roaming the halls, the headache became more and more intense it only took a few moments before I blacked out completely.
Waking up I saw something completely different from the nurses office or even the school for that matter I was surrounded my other students from my school I couldn't see any teachers, all of them looked passed out. A few moments passed before everyone started standing up as if on a timer there had to be at least 100 of us here not that I could really tell. Looking around we were in a large open space I could see no start or end but, it was white for as far as the eye could see. It seemed like forever had passed all of the students split into groups, me I was alone I had no friends it wasn’t because I couldn't make them.

More of whenever I made friends they all said the same thing to me, that I cared more about studying than our friendship. Which in the end was probably true friends may last a long time but, knowledge is forever that was my view on the matter. After everyone was in there groups a rumbling started to happen and soon enough someone or more specifically something spoke.
< Hello I am Trios I will tell you where you are going and what you must do before going there, you cannot return to your old world I am sorry for that but, a world of adventure awaits. You are going to Klios a world full of monsters and magic, dungeons and labyrinths however, this world is very cruel only the strong survive. So I warn you now a king will be summoning you you’re power will be strong maybe even the strongest but, be warned the monsters of this world will kill and if you cannot kill as well you might as well give up on a life of adventure and live as a maid or a tavern owner in the city at least then you may survive.>
This was already too much to take in I could see the looks of horror on some faces others had looks of excitement me I could not hide it this excited me as well a world of new knowledge awaited magic what was it, how could one use it I wanted to know soon he continued his speech.
< There are 13 pillars here in front of you these pillars represent a god of this world, the first pillar is mine The pillar of Trios it will grant you a 50% increase in health and 50 points in strength. Once choosing a pillar you will be granted 2 classes which the god you chose sees fit for you. They will examine your memories you're past how you act and choose accordingly. The second pillar is the Pillar of Dios choosing his pillar will grant you 50 points in dexterity and the ability to use any and all ranged weapons.>
None of these so far interested me if this world really relies on strength I have to choose wisely my decision could very well be either something that leads me to greatness or my undoing.
< The 3rd is the Pillar of Juniper her pillar will grant you 20 points in charm and allow the using of the skill [Seductress] no information on the skill will be given. For the 4th is the Pillar of Gerid his pillar will grant 30% increase in strength and the skill [Unbreakable Will] again no information on the skill will be given. The 5th is Pillar of Manaly her pillar will grant a 300% increase in mana and learning spells you have basic knowledge of will be 50% easier.>
The pillar of Manaly started to peak my interest but, I wasn't sold yet.
<6th is the Pillar of Helix his Pillar grants a 60% increase in all professions and the ability to have more than 1 profession. The 7th is Pillar of Leviry her pillar will grant a 50% increase in all nature related abilities and will guarantee the profession [Druid] I will tell you Druids are a very sought after class. The 8th is Pillar of Tirido his pillar will grant a 30% success rate to all illusions and also grant the ability [True Sight] no information will be given.>
True sight? I couldn't really see the point in such a skill but I have no idea what it does so I could be wrong.
< 9th is Pillar of Dracix his pillar grants a 50% increase to all dark related spells and the ability to use [Death Magic] No information other than be careful will be given. 10th is the Pillar of Istrid a 30% increase in mana and the ability to use the skill [Speed Reading] will be given along with [Perfect Memory]. 11th is Pillar of Shiriel a 90% increase in all holy related spells and 50 points into Holy aura will be given. 12th is the Pillar of Orpis a 50% increase in luck and the ability [Gamblers Fortune] will be given.>
The one peaking my interest and the one I was truthfully dead set on at this point was Istrid all of the other pillars seemed incredibly overpowered why was this one bunched in with the group.
< Finally the 13th pillar is the Pillar of Grakix his pillar will give 50% increase in wind related magic and the ability [Forgotten Wind]. That is all for the pillars now you know you're options choose well for your fate relies on it once you choose a pillar you will be transported into the kings summoning circle, you will be transported to a different country depending on the pillar you choose so if you are with friends say you're goodbyes now if you are choosing the same pillar well then good luck. There will be a status window and skill window you can open once you arrive truly from the bottom of my heart I wish you well make a legend for yourselves.>
And with those words it was almost as if we could feel it something in the air vanished and we knew we were alone. Some groups had already gone through there were those crying still holding each other while some said their goodbyes, I looked around one last time seeing all of the students as I walked up to the Pillar of Istrid I got a few odd stares but, most just ignored me I could only pray that in the future we would not be enemies with butterflies in my stomach and a feeling of nausea I held my hand on the pillar soon a message appeared.
[Goddess Istrid has assigned the classes Enchanter and Tamer]
[Skill Speed Reading learned]
[Skill Perfect Memory learned]
As soon as I finished reading through the messages my world was soon drowned into darkness I couldn't see it at the time I'm sure I wasn't meant to see it but before I blacked out I saw one last message.
[Goodluck my Hero]
And with that I knew the journey ahead of me was going to be intresting.
