I've been in this world for 15 years, yet there is nothing that I can see so far that has the slightest relation to my old one. All it has is education, politics, and very basic martial arts. I can't even get the slightest connection to the natural energy that I'm very familiar with.

"You will have another life in a new world that isn't that different from your own." The mysterious voice echoed through my head as I continuously compare both of the world's to each other. Maybe there is something that I haven't noticed yet. 

As I pondered about similarities, a group of teachers  start to head towards my desk. They waited for a while before realizing that I wasn't paying heed to any of them. "Excuse me, Mike Dogster, but we have something important to discuss with you. Can you please follow us somewhere?"

I stood up almost immediately and silently followed as asked. The truth is that I am actually glad that they got me out of that stuffy, old classroom. Since this is my second life, I already knew most of the things that they taught. Though the math and history is new. I'm in all of the advanced classes too.

The high school that I go to is known as Dragon Master High. The school has been running for the long span of 200 years, so it has gained quite a reputation in this world. It is said that Dragon Master High is a school that could make even geniuses cry in frustration, but I have no problem in it's classes. In fact, I have all A's.

I wander what these teachers want with me. Are they going to ask me to skip another grade? No, I doubt it since they could wait till classes is over to do that. The more I thought of an answer, my interest rises upon this matter. Could a secret of this world be opened up to me by them?

We turned down into many hallways, most of which I've never seen. The mini journey had come to an end in front of a pair of thick, wooden doors that is chained up. The 3 teachers that guided me turned around, and I could see that each of them were nervous.

"Mike Dogster. You were chosen out of all of the other participants, meaning the students. Despite our strict education and rules, you still end up getting all A's. There are a few others too, and all of you will meet in this room." The man who talked pointed towards the door with chains.

Is this going to be a school secret or a worldly secret? I need to found out which one it is. 

This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.

The man who talked looked to be in his 30's with his blue eyes. The only woman in the group seems to be in her late 40's while the last teacher seems to be in his late 20's. The woman stepped up to say, " I'm known as Amanda. The one with the blue eyes is known as Smith while the other is James. From this point on, you will address us as seniors, not as teachers."

The other two nodded their heads in agreement. James held out his hand towards the chains to grab a hold onto the lock as he pulled out a rusty key, and unlocked the lock before him. As soon as the chains were off, I felt that there is some change in the atmosphere. A sliver of excitement came, and my heart began to race.

I haven't felt this type of excitement since I've come to this world. This atmosphere feels a bit familiar too. What could be behind those doors that could bring up a feeling of familiarity. 

James stepped to the side, and Smith came up to the doors next. He lightly pressed his hands onto both sides of the door and began to slowly push them open. A blinding light came through, and I squinted. When the doors came to a stop, my eyes have already adjusted to the light, so I can clearly see the room before me.

The small room has couches running along its walls, and the ceiling is mainly covered with lights. No wander the room was so bright at first. I took into notice that another person is here already, so I decided to go speak with him to see what he knows.

He has blond hair, like me, and brown eyes. My eyes are green, so  as far as I was concerned, that is the end of our physical similarities. "Hi, I'm Mike Dogster. Would it be too much trouble if I would ask for your name sir?" I looked at him with pleading eyes. 

"If you look at me that way, I have no other choice but to tell you. I'm Jake Connings. Nice to meet you Mike." I sat down beside him and looked at the wall for a while. I turned to look at Jake and opened my mouth to speak once again when the door opened again.

My eyes changed towards the direction of the door. Once I got a full view of the next person that is destined to be in this room, I gasped.  I stood to my feet instantly. "A..Annabeth! You're here too!"

The girl in front of me is not a day older than 16, yet she looks stunning with her blue eyes and black hair. She is the splitting image of my past wife, Annabeth. She looked shocked for a second, then she asked "Who are you?" Dread filled my heart as I realize my mistake.
