Inside Kyson's house.
Kyson grabbed a glass of water from the refrigerator and sat down on the sofa.
Turning on his phone, he started browsing through his social media and looked for news.
As soon as he started looking, Kyson immediately saw news that caught his attention.
The first news that attracted his attention is from a post of a netizen.
In the post, the netizen was bragging that he possessed an extremely amazing talent.
The person who posted it didn't say what exactly his talent is, but it didn't stop other netizens from commenting and discussing under his post.
"What?! You already have a talent? What kind of sh*t luck do you have?!"
"OP, tell us what your talent is. I want to see what kind of talent do you have to brag like this."
"That's right. You're bragging here but you won't even tell us what this so-called 'extremely amazing talent' that you have."
"Hahahaha, the strong smell of sour vinegar is coming from those people upstairs. Let me tell you, guys, I also have an amazing talent hahahaha!"
…
The discussion between the netizens continued and the post continued to accumulate popularity.
Because of this, a lot of people who possess a talent appeared one after another.
It was then that an important news came to the ears of everyone.
An internet influencer came out and said that before today, he actually gained the ability to control the wind.
That means he is one of those people who started getting supernatural powers during the past few weeks.
Then when the voice sounded earlier and the Gaia System was activated, he saw in his talent section in his character panel that he has a talent called 'Wind Control'.
With these revelations, people learned that the supernatural powers of those people in the past few weeks are signs of early manifestation of their talents.
Looking at this, a thoughtful look appeared on Kyson's
"So, that means talents are already manifesting even before the two worlds fully merged, huh…"
Thinking back to his past few weeks, Kyson's eyes narrowed.
Kyson originally owned several chickens not long ago. It was only because of the recent changes that he had to sell most of them, leaving him with only one now.
Anyway, back at that time, Kyson and his chickens were like mortal enemies.
As if he possesses a physique that chickens' hate, they always attack Kyson when he's feeding them and getting near them.
But last week, things suddenly changed out of nowhere.
For no clear reason, the chickens started behaving better in front of Kyson.
At that time, Kyson didn't think much about it. He was only happy that the chickens no longer attacked him and didn't investigate the reason.
Now seeing this news, realization dawned to him.
"So at that time, my talent has also manifested."
"It was only because the effects of my talent are not as easy to see compared to those people that I failed to realize it until now!"
A smile appeared on Kyson's face.
Before, he thought he was inferior to those people who awakened their supernatural powers.
While those people already possessed such strength, he felt that he was nothing but a normal person.
But now, it looks like he's not at all below them. Instead, he might even be far superior than them.
Kyson's eyes can't help but glance at his talent on his character panel and his smile grew wider.
After he was done going through the post of the netizen, Kyson turned his attention to another piece of news.
This time, it was from the official account of the national government, released by official media.
With interest, Kyson clicked on it and started reading.
After taking a quick read, a thoughtful look appeared on Kyson's face.
"The government reacted fast. From the looks of it, they seem to be aware that this will happen today."
Kyson said that because the government actually already made preparations.
The post from the government page was an announcement of a state of emergency.
At the same time, all citizens are called to visit their local government's city hall tomorrow to register their character data into the government database.
By doing this, the government will be able to better monitor everyone.
So that if someone causes trouble with their new abilities, the government can respond to it.
At the same time, a new government department was established for a new profession called as adventurer by the government.
Namely, the Adventurer Association.
Under that, some more information was released by the government.
Information about monsters, dungeons, and a few more things were revealed.
As for where those informations came from, Kyson could only make a guess.
Kyson read everything with a serious look.
When he was done reading, half an hour had already passed.
The information given by the government contained a lot of things.
Thanks to that, everyone should have a basic understanding of how the world will run from now on.
With the changes that have happened to the world, society has to adapt to continue existing.
Putting down his phone, Kyson leaned his back on the sofa.
"The world has really changed, huh."
From what he just read, Kyson can summarize what the world had turned to with just one word.
Dangerous.
…
The next morning.
Kyson woke up early and started preparing to go out.
Wearing a plain white shirt, old rough jeans, and worn out shoes, Kyson left his house.
"It's only 6am right now. There shouldn't be a lot of people there yet."
"It's good to go there early so I can go back home quickly."
Looking at the time on his phone, Kyson muttered.
Since he lives in a rural area, it takes quite some time for Kyson to get down to the main road.
When he finally got there, Kyson waited for a bus to pass by.
However, after waiting for a quarter of an hour, there's still no bus in sight.
Scratching his head, Kyson stared far down the road with a frown.
"Why are there still no buses here?"
Suddenly, Kyson thought of something he missed.
"Wait, could it be that there will be no buses today because everyone went to the city hall to register?"
When he thought of this, his face was immediately covered with despair.
