How much longer can the human race last... there's only 10, 000 of us left... how did this happen?
Chapter 1:Spellcraft
I've been a mage for so long. Practiced for so long and now, have I ascended to another plane of existence? What am I now? What's this power? Maybe now... I can do it. Before this world became hell, it was so great. Luscious green fields, but now, I can't even remember the last day I saw the sun. Looking at this place now, it's in shambles. I wish I could go back to that time, when my friends were still alive....
Where am I? What just happened? I feel such a huge pain in my head, I feel... drained.
" Saros! I thought you bailed since you hadn't come back from the toilet in so long."
"Hmm? Toilet? Bailed? What are you talking' about?"
" Dude you literally went to the bathroom and it took you like two hours."
"Seriously what ARE you talking about? I was just in some sort of war zone.."
"The public restrooms are pretty bad but I wouldn't say that..."
"No? There were huge monsters and… never mind."
"I think you're just excited to go to school. Hahaha."
"..."
An old man with a long grey beard steps onto the stage, "HELLO! I AM PRINCIPLE VENDRICK. I WELCOME YOU ALL TO SPELL CRAFT! ALL OF YOU ARE HERE TODAY TO SEE IF YOU ARE CAPABLE OF ENTERING THIS VERY PRESTIGIOUS SCHOOL. THIS WILL BE A TEST OF APTITUDE. IN ORDER TO ENTER, YOU MUST BE CAPABLE OF USING MAGIC. EVERYONE TAKE YOUR TURN. IF YOU PASS, THEN YOU MAY GO THROUGH THE GATES AND ENTER THE SCHOOL."
I still don't understand what just happened. My mind went blank. After taking a few seconds to gather my thoughts, I saw the others, one by one getting onto a stage with a funny looking orb straight out of a fortune teller's scam and... massaging it? 5000 people came to massage a crystal and go to school, how fun.
"I am honestly so confused why are we here? Adam my old buddy ol' pal, are you into rubbing crystals? Is it a fetish I don't know about yet?"
"Don't talk about fetishes with me, I'm literally 12. To answer your question, my mom is making us go to school, and the government tells us to go. Just-just stop ruining the moment, it's supposed to be badass."
"Explain."
"If you didn't know from what the guy yelling said, we're rub-touching the crystal to see if we can use magic."
"Ah okay then, let's wait our turn. Not even worried about it."
Two hours pass
"Are we seriously going to be the last people to go up? My legs hurt."
"'lots of people were here."
"I know but still can't they go faster?"
"If your legs hurt just sit down. It's not against the rules."
"My mom told me I can't."
"Suit yourself." I finally decide to sit down, but once I sit down I realize there's only a couple people left. We looked at each other and knew, let's cut into the line. That saved us probably another 10 minutes.
"I'll do you proud, mom."
"Thanks hun, wait for me inside." He rushed up the stairs so quickly I don't think he heard me. He massaged the crystal ball thing and then was let through right away. Hmm, pretty good.
"My… turn." I'm walking up the damn stairs and I can see my hands turning red and I can feel my heart beating faster. Stage fright… Bullshit
"Walk up to the crystal. What is your name?"
"Uh, Saros?"
"Now, Saros. Press the palm of your hand on the Mage Identifier."
"Okay.. now what?"
"Hmm, there's a small signal and something else but, I can barely detect it. Just, go through."
"'Kay, latta." He said that he can barely detect a signal, what fucking signal? No point in worrying about I should just look for Adam. "Where the fuck is he? There are people everywhere." This fucker better not be pulling a prank."Adam!"
"I'm right here calm down."
"What the fuck!"
"Calm down! I met up with you ever since you came in. I've been talking to you for a while now… don't tell me you weren't listening."
"Wrong. You just got here. Anyways where do we go now?"
"No clue. Just wait around until the exam is done."
"While we wait, I wanna ask you something."
"What is it?"
"How long have you had that shit on your face for?"
"What!? Something is on my face? Where? For how long? Did people see?"
"It's all around your mouth. It's like you ate spaghetti."
"Yeah, I ate my mom's spaghetti this morning since it's the last time I will in a while."
"Mommy's boy." No one came in after us, we were the last ones to pass.
"THAT MARKS THE END OF THE EXAM. THOSE WHO HAVE FAILED MUST LEAVE THE SCHOOL PROPERTY AT ONCE." So many people came today and so little are left. Why is it like that. I don't know anything about magic, I'm only here because of Adam.
might change lmao
