Chapter Text
Devastation is what I’m feeling right now, looking at the exam papers. It feels like a crushing weight has been forced upon me. I didn’t study — nein, I never studied at all. I never felt the need to study, as it just came naturally to me. Yet as I am looking at the paper, all hope just flew out of me. Looking at the time, I still had 20 minutes left — with a few questions still unanswered. The code just doesn’t seem to work.., while coding is definitely not my strong point, I guess I was just cocky thinking that this class was just theories.
While knowing I could just continue it at home, the feeling of restlessness is still plaguing my mind. Looking back, last night all I could remember was just reading fan fiction. Crying when a favorite character dies again and again, searching for the right one that could quench my thirst of stories. Yet none that I find fit on what I had hoped.
Walking out of the exam room, I rushed back to the station waiting for the train. Thinking on ways I could prepare for tomorrows exam. I started to review the presentation used in class, a total of 418 slides waiting for me to finish. As the train come into the station, I walked forward preparing to board, putting my backpack in front of me. As it come onto a stop, I walked into the train sitting on one of the corners. Putting on my headphone and falling asleep.
This was a technique I have perfected over, after using the train for 3 years. I would wake up 1 station before my stopping station. Yet today was different, I could just feel that there was something amiss going on. The unease was just getting too big to ignore, and I woke up.
Looking around me, I couldn’t believe my eyes. People with animal ears, tails, and colorful hairs. It took me a while, but I quickly gathered my phone. Looking at the wallpaper, nothing was amiss, yet as I opened the social media. It doesn’t say Instagram anymore it says Magicam — and a sense of dread creeps in. I checked my chat history, everything was the same, my family, my friends, yet it just seems like its not the same world anymore.
‘Did I... transmigrate?’
