The next morning, Michael woke up feeling refreshed. Although his mind felt clearer after his Awakening, the mental exhaustion wasn't so easy to shake off.
Fortunately, a good night's sleep was the perfect remedy.
Michael didn't immediately get up from his bed but sat on the edge, reminiscing about the events of the previous day.
'It's amazing how quickly life can change,' Michael thought happily. He couldn't have asked for a better turn of events.
And the best part was still yet to come.
'Today's the day I enter the Land of Origin! I wonder what I'll encounter!' Michael's excitement grew as he thought about the new day ahead.
'Aunt Mia should have gone to work by now. Lily should also be in school.'
With that thought, Michael left his room to check if anyone else was still in the house, but as he had expected, it was empty except for him.
