"After billions of years of thriving, the Milky Way galaxy collided with the Andromeda galaxy and merged with it.
As a result of the collision, the solar system, in which Earth is present, now has 15 planets, four of which are habitable.
The collision also damaged these planets, leading to drastic climate changes.
This resulted in the annihilation of about 90% of the population, and advanced technology was also completely destroyed.
The disaster caused the continents to merge, and now there are only two continents.
After 500 years of hard work, humans have once again advanced their technology as it was in the 30th century.
On planet Earth,
In the continent of Zeta, in sector Zeta 01, the prestigious university of doppelganger users looks really peaceful today.
In the class of the third-year students, on the seventh floor, near the window sits an average-looking student who is lost in thought.
Jason looks through the window and thinks, 'Ahh, what a boring day.'
As Jason looks out of the window, the teacher, Mr. Stein, notices him and silently moves towards him.
Seeing this, other students start to observe the situation for fun.
Ron nudges his deskmate Alice and says, "Today, Jason is in trouble."
Alice nods and says, "You're right, and I don't know why he is always so absent-minded in class."
During their conversation, Mr. Stein has already reached Jason's table and said, "Having fun, Jason?"
"Nah, I'm just bored," Jason instinctively replies, and then he sees Mr. Stein's hand coming near his face.
'Smack'
Jason holds his cheek as tears come to his eyes.
"Next time, it will not end with just a slap. Be attentive in my class," Mr. Stein says as he moves off to the hologram to start teaching.
"Stupid fool."
"Arrogant bastard."
"Hahaha.."
The students start to laugh and pass vile comments to him as he holds his cheek and restrains himself from crying.
"Teacher shouldn't have hit him. The teacher is Rank 2, so that slap must be hurting badly," Ron says to Alice.
"Now, concentrate on the class if you don't want to be slapped," Alice says to him.
Mr. Stein watches everyone as the class becomes silent.
"As I was teaching you, you are now in your third year so you will have a chance to activate your doppelganger next week.
"Everyone should exercise, eat healthy food, and refrain from getting injured or sick during this time."
"It has been seen that those who are injured or sick during activation, activate weak doppelgangers," Mr. Stein says as he observes if everyone understands the severity of what he has said or not.
"Sir, can you tell us what we should do after activating our doppelganger?" the class representative Edward asks.
"After activating, if you awaken an elemental doppelganger, you will get a monthly fund for your daily life, about $10,000; in the case of shapeshifters, you will get $5,000; and in the case of enhancers, $1,000," Mr. Stein tells everyone as he takes out a red crystal.
"This crystal will be very important for you to improve, so don't waste money on miscellaneous things," Mr. Stein says.
The class for the day continues as he talks about other things.
'Damn it, why did he hit me in front of the whole class and with such power?' Jason thinks as he massages his cheek.
'I was barely able to hold back my tears; if I had cried, I would have become the laughingstock of the whole school,' Jason thinks with dread.
Jason listens to the class as his phone vibrates.
He sees it is a message through his smartwatch from his landlord.
'Pay the rent for three months quickly, or I will throw you all out,' the message says.
'These landlords are bastards; my life is already very bad, and these people make it worse.'
'I don't know why these landlords can't understand the predicament of other people; it's not like I am not trying to work hard to pay the rent,' he thinks as he starts to write a reply.
'Sir, please give us more time. In one week, I will activate my doppelganger and start getting the monetary fund, then I will pay,' he sends the message.
'You think you will activate some powerful ability. Your debt is $24,000, and after including this month, it will be $32,000,' the reply comes back quickly.
'Just give me some time; I will definitely pay the debt back,' he replies.
'This is your last month,' he replies.
'Damn, another problem added to the thousands of other problems,' Jason thinks as his face grimaces.
After an hour, the class ends.
Today's class is only two hours long, and then there is a holiday for one week.
As the teacher leaves, the other students start talking to each other.
Ron and Alice come to the seat of Jason.
"So, how was the taste of the slap. I always told you to pay attention to the class but you didn't listen. Now this happens." Ron says while laughing.
"Ron, don't add salt to the wound. Jason let's go to the cafeteria. We will talk there while having lunch." Alice says as she reprimands Ron for his insensitive nature.
"Thank you, Alice." Jason nods as he goes outside the class with them.
After going through the halls they arrive in the cafeteria.
In the University every floor has a cafeteria.
They take their lunch, and then go to sit on an empty table in the middle.
"So, why were you distracted in the class." Alice asks him.
"It's nothing, I was really just bored." Jason says as he starts to eat.
"You can't hide your emotions. Now tell us the truth." Ron asked him sternly.
Jason seeing that he cannot avoid this conversation sighs.
"Well, I was thinking about the various problems I am facing right now. Like, paying my rent, what will I do after activating my ability and other things." Jason says.
"Well, we know about your problems. You can always ask for our help." Alice says and suddenly she realises that she has said something wrong.
"Don't misunderstand, we are not taking pity but we only want to help you. You can always pay us back later." Alice tells him.
"Alice is right, Jason we are friends and if we are not able to help eachother in these situations then what type of friend are we." Ron pats Jason's shoulder as he tells him.
"Thank you, but I want to do this myself. If I am not able to do this, then you both can help." Jason replies to them.
"Hmm, a man's pride is it. Don't suffer alone because of this but I will respect your decision. We are always present for you." Jason nods at Alice as she and Ron tell him.
After talking, they eat in silence.
Few minutes later, they finished their lunch and go outside.
"Well, see you later guys." Alice says as she sits in a flying car and goes off.
"See you in a week, bro." Ron waves at Jason as he also sits in the flying car.
After waving them goodbye, he also goes towards his flat.
His flat is 3km away from the university.
As he walks through the road, he sees the smooth road.
Some people are going on advanced cars and bikes and some people on flying cars.
These cars are electric and the flying ones use the magnetism.
Seeing these cars he becomes sad.
His family also had a flying car but because of his father's death when he was 5 years old they lost their financial source.
His father got to know that he has cancer when he was 2 years old and during the other three years their whole money was used on him.
After his death they got the insurance money but it also was exhausted when he became 15 years old.
They had sell their car at that time.
After 45 minutes, he arrives at the apartment where his family lives.
It's a good apartment that's why they have pay so much rent.
He got a job as a shopkeeper in a supermarket when he was 15, so he was able to pay the rent.
But because he had a fight with the shop owner's child five months ago, he was fired.
"Sigh, I don't know for how many days we will be able to live here." Jason sighs as goes into the elevator.
His family lives on 5th floor, this apartment consists of 10 floors.
After waiting for a few seconds, he arrives at his floor.
He goes to flat no. 504, rings the bell.
After a few seconds the door opens.
"Bro, you are late today by 15 minutes." His sister Jane says to him while pouting.
"Well, there will be holiday for a week. So, I was having fun with my friends." He says as he ruffles her hair while entering inside.
"Damn it, bro. Mom, brother is bullying me." Jane goes to her mother after closing the door.
Her mother is in the kitchen.
"Son, don't bully little Jane." His mother reprimands him, as he sits on the sofa.
"Okay, mom. By the way there will be holiday for a week. And next week is the ability activation time." He replies as he changes his clothes to casual ones.
"Hmm, don't exhaust yourself while practicing in this week. And even if you don't activate any doppelganger, don't be discouraged." She says as she arrives near him and caresses his head.
"Yes mother but I have get a activate my ability because we have to pay the rent." He says with a sigh.
"Well, we can always move to someplace cheaper. And we can pay the rent after selling the red crystals which your father has left behind." She says to him.
"No mom, I will definitely activate my ability or find some other job. I don't want you and little Jane to live in some slums. You know those places do not have any security." He says with determination.
"Well, take care of yourself and don't exhaust yourself." His mother says and then she goes in the kitchen to prepare food for his sister.
