I woke up with my door being thrown open “You better get up soon or else You’re gunna be late to school” my older brother Julian shouted before heading downstairs.
‘ugh, I only need to put up with this a little longer. Soon I will be at college and I can decide what hours I wake up and go to sleep’.
Next fall I am going to be living on my own at MIT. Thankfully my parents feel bad about always leaving their kids to fend for themselves. Bad enough that they are willing to pay for any school we decide.
I quickly looked around my room for my clothes, quickly took a shower, and brought everything I needed for school down to the kitchen to where my siblings were waiting for me.
“ah so he is alive” I am greeted with a sarcastic remark by my little sister Erin.
“I just like my sleep, what’s wrong with that?”
“just get ready for school so I can get on with my life”
After breakfast I drive me and my sister to school and we part ways to go to our respective classes.
Today is the last day of my senior year in high school, and I was ready to be done with high school. School had never been a problem for me, ever since I was a child once I was taught something I would never forget it. This meant I get to sleep at school and play video games all night at home.

When I finally get to school I head on over to my seat in the farthest corner, away from everybody, and rest with my head down. When this school was built they must not have known how to put classrooms and building supports together, because in front of my seat is a large support beam that hides me from most of the class. This works out better for me, I would rather be as hidden as possible.
“good morning Mason”
I look over and see Jessica, an overly peppy cute blonde that always tried to talk to me. I take a second and give a halfhearted “morning” back to her.
“do you even sleep at night? You seem to use school as your personal nap time”
“why would I sleep at home if I could sleep here?”. It was then when the teacher walks in and got class started.
I napped through most of the day and finally it was the last class of the day and the teacher was starting to rant about how once we leave this place it’ll be the real world. I pretty much just zoned whatever the teacher was saying and started trying to sleep again.
I was fading in an out of sleep when I started hearing a voice I didn’t recognize
“mortals, I have come to bring you to another world!”
‘was there a guest speaker scheduled for today? Sounds like he’s advertising a game, I guess I’ll write down what this is about and check it out later’ I thought to myself.
“I am Tercurn a god of Padderil, and my worshippers have performed a summoning ceremony to summon warriors for the upcoming war against the demon army”.
‘man this old guy is really getting in character; I guess he’s the developer of a game called padderil’
The man described the current situation of the world in detail, saying about how it is a world of magic and adventure much like some of the novels here on earth. From the crowd of students, a worried voiced asked
“but won’t we die if we are just thrown into a war?”
The man looked down at the students with a smug grin on his face
“fear not, I shall give you two gifts. One is my blessing which will allow you to learn much faster than others around you and the other is a technique that will make you unrivaled in magic”.
After the man spoke these words a feeling of warmth and comfort washed over the classroom, and a script of words were imprinted in our minds. ‘man for some reason I’m feeling so relaxed, I guess I’ll just snag the notes from someone else in class’ and I went back to sleep.
“alright now that you won’t die in the other world easily, let us go”
The god looked around the classroom and all of the students in his sight disappeared.
“I think that was everyone, I hope my worshippers will leave me alone after this”
after Tercurn finished talking he simply disappeared from this world.
