ROOT: Awakening

Akakaze22
One ordinary life. One random accident. One world he never knew existed. Cyrus Moore was just your average, run-of-the-mill, perpetually bored eighteen-year-old. One that was absolutely over the monotony of everyday life. His days are filled with nothing but boring classwork, half-hearted conversations, and a nagging feeling that life is passing him by. That is, until he gets hit by a car and everything changes. After waking up from the accident, Cyrus discovers he's not only alive, he's different. Strange powers begin to stir within him. Reality starts to unravel. And soon enough, he's plunged into a hidden world where magic pulses beneath the surface of modern life. Now, nothing is quite what it seems to be. Now, caught between the mystical and the mundane, Cyrus must navigate deadly enemies, magical creatures, covert organizations, and a ragtag group of others just like him-gifted, confused, and in way over their heads. In a world full of pulse-pounding action, heart-wrenching drama, and electrifying twists, Cyrus and his friends must embark on a spellbinding ride through a modern world. One where the confines of fantasy are far more real, and far more dangerous, than they seem. The awakening has begun, and reality will never be the same.

Several centuries ago, this world underwent a phenomenon that blessed humans with a supernatural power called an Aspect. As time passed, heroes began to arise as their power, achievements and courage for placing their lives on the line to save the innocent inspired many as those with an Aspect dreamed of becoming a symbol of peace for our world. I, Rai Shinsei, was one of them as I would hear many stories of heroes from the townsfolk, although, the source of my inspiration was from my two loving parents, who were idolized by the townsfolk as their strength and kindness left me captivated, but despite my dreams, fate had a different future in store for me as tragedy soon occurred, changing my life forever. On my sixth birthday, I witnessed a catastrophe. My once tranquil hometown, which housed kind hearted souls was ravaged by none other than a hero, whose destruction knew no bounds as any structure within his sight was obliterated while every being within my hometown was mercilessly slaughtered. The screams and cries of those I once knew left me in a trepidatious state, but my nightmare was far from over as the remaining survivors was none other than my parents, who were forced to say their goodbyes as the hero killed them right before my eyes, sparing only me and on that day, I was never interested in becoming a hero anymore. Selling my soul to vengeance, I made a vow. To destroy the Hero Association. Although, everything changed once I was forced to enroll into a place I would have never imagined. A Hero Academy.
