Alex looked around his surroundings.
He was standing at the main plaza of Frieden Academy. This place couldn't be any more familiar, and yet, something felt amiss.
It was a very subtle feeling that made his senses tell him that something was definitely wrong.
He continued to look around him, looking for what made him feel that way.
It was then when it hit him.
There were no students around him.
It was too quiet for an academy with over a thousand students living inside it.
Feeling a sense of unease, he ran toward his dormitory to look for people. However, when he entered the common room, he found no one.
The buildings he passed along the way were also empty. Alex immediately thought he was in a dream.
That was the only logical explanation he could think of.
If this wasn't in a dream, then where was everyone?
The young man took a deep breath before pinching his arm. He pinched himself so hard that the pain he suddenly felt took him by surprise.
