chapter 1

A gentle breeze passes through the bodies of the students walking past the hallway. At the end of the summer term after the exam, all the students have smiles on their faces. Especially for the final-year students who finish their long journey of education and are ready to spread their wings to the wilder world. 

Near the parking area, there are many bicycles. In the middle of the row, there was a young man dressed in blue jeans and a black oversized top with his phone in his hand standing near the blue bicycle looking very anxious.  He had an above-average face not very eye-catching in the middle of the energetic young adults. And he is in the middle of inner conflict.

' sigh '

' I'm done? really? I did my assessments and what? Nobody told me what to do after finished all that. I have to wait for the result but it will take time. Should I go talk to my friend? No. we aren't that close. Maybe I should text him about the result date. 

"Sigh" 

'Maybe I can go home, mom will be very pleased. No. if something happens I need to come back and I need to take a train back and forth and it's gonna be trying so big NO. I take care of all the things and leave once and for all.'

"OH!  He he he  he" 

'Isn't this the best time to enjoy my time?  Seriously as a professional introvert, this is the best and I can take my sweet time to read all of my favourite novel chapters that I put on hold because of the exam and slowly look for the job that I can apply for. Oh well, I'm not very clever and I'm probably an average student so It's gonna be hard. Thinking  about the interviews gives me chill '

"NO, get it together boy this is the best time to enjoy my life,"

'So how should you deal with anxiety about your future? 

The answer is - let your future self-deal with it.' 

The young man's name is  Amphorn after dealing with his inner conflict he is ready to leave. Amphorn took his bicycle and made his way through the crowd of students towards the exit. 

'I am usually lazy but today I feel energetic so let's walk home, is it normal to feel this excited about the exam? I don't usually get excited though. Oh well blame the stress'

Amphorn walked outside the gate and made his way towards the sidewalk while holding his phone, scrolling through the phone and reading his favourite novel.

"Ouch!"

Amphorn touched his right upper arm feeling slight pain.

' Am I holding the phone too tightly? Why does it feel like burning? No wait it feels like I got an electric shock in my upper arm. Well, maybe one of my neuron cells lost its way.'

Amphorn made his way into an open space roadside, felt the breeze and took a deep breath and looked at the grasses that grew nearly a metre long which was about 30 cm long the last time he saw them. He touched his heart.

Bedum Bedum  Bedum!

" Weird, why am I feeling like this? Am I excited? Scared? What is it?

I got a feeling something was gonna happen and my right upper arm started to feel itchy and painful. Is the world gonna end today? 

No, of course not but I feel so not myself. Am I dying? My heart beats like a drum but it is not painful. Maybe I pushed myself too hard during this time, so I just went home first. My upper arm is very uncomfortable, perhaps an allergic reaction. It's not a good idea to drive I guess."

*********

At the other end of the road, A car stops, and It's hard to see who is inside the car but the people inside can see what's going on outside. There are two people in the car, one driver and one person in the back. The driver looked in the view mirror and saw a man sitting in the back but didn't say anything so he reduced the breathing sound and tried to rescue the sense of presence. 

The man in the back had a tall body which is nearly one point nine metres and a handsome face which makes you wonder if the god of beauty put a lot of effort into making it. His blue eye-like lapis lazuli gem

thin lips pressed together to form a straight line. His line of sides focuses on the compass which contains orange circular patterns and looks very complicated. There was a purple dot in the compass which showed the target was very near. The men's line of the side then moved to his lift arm forearm which started to ache a while ago. He then left the car and walked towards the road holding the compass. The driver looks at the man's movement and sighs. 

"I hope this time everything will be alright, we are nearing the end. I hope this time won't be any accidents." 

At the other end of the road, Amphorn is walking faster as his heart feels like it's gonna burst out of his chest. He never felt this way before and he was sure something was going to happen. 

"Seriously! What is wrong with me? Should I rest but my gut feeling tells me to hurry home? Ohhh! Blame the stress. I want to e…"

At the movement, Amphorn felt a chill down his whole body, my right upper arm started to feel like it was on fire and it was spreading on his whole body. He stopped the bicycle and looked ahead and he saw a man walking toward him holding something in his hand. Amphorn wants to run away at the very movement but he can't move an inch. Amphorn doesn't like this, he hates it when things are out of control and the man is already just a few metres away. 

Step…step ….

With every step the man takes, Amphorn feels like his heart will burst and it's starting to hurt, especially his right upper arm. At last, the man was just one metre away and he stopped.  His light brown eyes meet the blue eye like a gem. 

Bedum… bedum ..

At the moment Amphorn is sure all the strange things that happen to him are because of this man before him.
