The Strongest Organization, The Awakened Union, That was the name of the towering structure before me. A pure white Building that pierced into the clouds themselves. A building that was depicted in such great detail in the novel that I honestly thought the author was an Architecture Major that was just boasting about his skills. A Structure that was the home to the strongest Awakened in the world.

That was the structure before me. The Building that held meetings to decide the lives of millions weekly. The shock on my face was so apparent that even Miss Penny noticed it.

“Hmm? Oi, what’s wrong?”

“Oh uh nothing, I’m just excited to be an awakened.”

“You should be because you awakened a ridiculously high ice affinity the orphanage is going to get so much funding because of you”

Hearing this I thought to myself.

‘Wait but I have two. affinities though. One is ice and the other is chaos.’

I wasn’t stupid enough to say that I had Chaos As an affinity If my hunch was correct and we were truly in ‘The ultimate sin’. Then the moment I revealed my second affinity would be akin to writing a death warrant. But I wasn’t a hundred percent sure if it truly was the world I was thinking of, I needed to do some research but I didn’t have a phone on me, So I asked Miss Penny.

“Miss Penny, can I play with your phone? “

I tried to act as childish as possible, expecting her answer to be a yes or ok, I was shocked to see that she refused so easily.

“No.”

I tried asking again but with the use of the magic word.

“Please?”

“No.”

This heartless woman! Does she not know what kind of predicament I’m in?! Wait, Of course, she doesn’t know.

‘Well guess I gotta have to wait a while to get some info.”

Suddenly A voice was transmitted across the train telling the station that we stopped at.

Hearing the transmission Miss Penny Got up and held my hand and walked out of the train.

We were out of the train station but Miss Penny didn’t stop. We kept on walking for I believe fifteen minutes or so and came across a rusted metal gate. There was a sign above the metal gate that said *Black Rock Orphanage*.

Miss Penny opened the gates and we stepped inside before I could even criticize the Condition of the gate. After entering the gate we came upon a manor. Shabby but big. Outside of the manor was a black car parked across the grass.

Seeing the car I thought to myself.

‘Wait if we have a car why go by train? Have Petrol prices gone up that high? ‘

Entering the Manor I was surprised to see the condition it was in. Cracked tile and walls which weren’t even painted. Inside I could also see 3 Men wearing black suits and one of them was holding onto a crystal ball. Another was holding onto a suitcase while the last one was holding onto a black Boss with the insignia of an Eagle soaring high, I instantly recognized the signal to be The awakened Union’s insignia. Seeing us enter the men immediately got Into the business as they approached us. The leading man said.

“Greetings, Is the young man Alan Peccator?”

Miss Penny replied to his question.

“Yes, Are you here for the Official Examination?”

“Yes we received the report of a child awakening a high-level ice affinity, We’ve come here to personally gauge his affinity level, Sid, Bring the orb”

The man carrying the orb stepped forward and put the orb down on the ground in front of me and said.

“Please put your hand into the orb”

I listened to his instructions and did as he said.

I placed my hand on the crystal ball. Immediately after it shined a bright white

light that quickly consumed all of us standing near. Afterward, the atmosphere started to become chilly and I could even see snow

forming In the air. On the ground, the floor became covered with ice and engulfed Sid who was the closest to me. I remained untouched by the expanding ice.

As Sid was surprised about having his feet encased in ice the orb suddenly broke.

All the 3 Agents looked at me with disbelief In their eyes, The man carrying the suitcase who was also the man who talked first opened his mouth In shock and exclaimed.

“A.. a superior grade affinity!”

His attitude immediately changed as he took the box from the third guy’s hands and gave it to me respectfully.

Opening the box he said.

“Inside here is a phone that has been issued to you by the government. And you will also receive a certificate later on when the higher-ups have decided on the academy you will be going to when you turn 16 Sir, If you have any questions please call the guideline number available on the back of the box’s Cover.”

He then handed me the suitcase he was carrying and said.

“This suitcase case contains roughly 50,000 Studs. It is a congratulatory gift from the Union for becoming an awakened”

Hearing about the name of the currency, I was becoming surer and surer about this world. Studs were the global currency used in ‘The ultimate sin’

After saying this he immediately left with his subordinates I presume and soon I heard a car turning on and bolting out of the area.

I turned around to see miss penny Eyeing the suitcase with greedy eyes.

She forcefully tried to take it from me but couldn’t because my grip was strong after becoming awakened that she couldn’t take it away even when she tried.

Upon seeing that her method failed she talked to me.

“Alan gives me the suitcase the funds inside will be very helpful for raising the orphanage.”

I didn’t want to but my instincts were telling me that something bad was going to happen so I gave her the suitcase.

She immediately became delighted and told me to go back to my after handing me a key

Reading the number which was 4 I looked around the manor and found my room and entered it.

I took out the phone given to me by the government and began my research.

I needed to confirm my suspicions as quickly as possible.
