*Ring~ring*
An alarm woke me up
'Dude, that nightmare was intense, I felt like I was falling into that void for days. Never Again'
With my eyes still closed, I reached for where I thought my night table was to grab my phone. However, nothing was there. The Hell? Opening my eyes felt like taking an AP Calculus BC exam so I remained in bed but the alarm kept ringing
*Ring~ring*
After a minute of non-stop trying, I finally opened my eyes, but it felt like I hadn't slept in days. Getting up from my bed, I glanced around my room
'The hell? Where am I? My room sure as hell isn't this clean
After another minute of opening and closing my eyes to make sure I wasn't dreaming, I immediately looked for the source of the noise that woke me up, only to realize that it was a smartwatch wrapped around my wrist.
"Alright let's see what the hell is so urgent"
Disabling the alarm on my smartwatch, I saw that I had an unopened message.
[Mom: Remember to head to the graduation ceremony for Agent Military Seoul's Branch. It starts at 10:30. Sorry I couldn't be there, you know work. I'll be back in Seoul in one month]
"Graduation? I'm in my senior year. Seoul? I live in America. Work? My mom is unemployed. The fuck is going on"
Inspecting my smartwatch, I checked to see if I had any other messages. Nope none, dry as a desert. Guess some things don't change even after being put in another fucking world. Deciding to listen to what my "mom" said, I got out of bed and opened the curtains. The pain from the sun blinding my eyes made me sink onto my knees. Then, I saw my reflection. A teenager, similar height to mine, with golden eyes and jet-black hair was there.

"Hmmm, I'm pretty hot. Aren't I?"
"NO, YOU'RE UGLY AS HELL, SO SHUT UP AND LET ME SLEEP" a feminine voice yelled from the apartment next to mine.
That guy must be jealous, but seriously what is going on? Guess I'll just follow the instructions from my "mom" for now as nothing else makes sense
'First, let's check what matters down there'
"... Man the fuck"
Defeated, I stood back on my feet and undressed myself. Heading to the bathroom, I tried to grasp my situation. New World? Check. New Body? Check. Small d? Che-. Never mind, I cleared my mind and headed to shower and checked the time. 10:10. Great. I washed my hair and face and headed out of the shower within five minutes. Checking my closet, I saw only one set of clothing.
'This guy might be the same as me after all. EXCEPT FOR THAT'
I put on my clothes that resembled a cadet's uniform and looked at my smartwatch for a navigation map. Putting the Seoul Branch shit into the navigator, I headed for the door and placed my hand on the doorknob when a thought that I pushed away earlier appeared again. What the hell is happening? I opened the Google app on my watch and searched for my dad's company name. Nothing there. I searched for my mom's name. Nothing about her there. Finally, I opened the Instagram app and checked my profile.

"Guess old habits do die hard. Huh, who woulda knew? Wait, Ren AKASH? I'm Ren Jin, the hell???"
"I DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT WHO YOU ARE. SHUT THE HELL UP BEFORE I COME OVER THERE" a familiar voice yelled from the apartment next to mine.
Ignoring the voice, I headed out the door and checked the ETA. 10:35. Damn. I'm fucked. Putting aside my hunger and thirst, I ran down the stairs and followed the map.
[10:29]
I arrived at the front of a coliseum and ran to find an available seat. Sitting down, I was about to fall asleep when a loud voice interrupted me.
"WELCOME CADETS. I applaud you all for graduating and without further to do, I present to you the top two cadets. Kim Suho and Shin Joghak"
The sound of clapping echoed throughout the whole stadium, but I sat there with my mouth as open as it could be.
