A skinny young man with brassy blonde hair and ice-cold blue eyes dragged himself down a dark alley. He was not more than 160 cm tall and had a fragile-looking frame that made him appear younger than he was. He wore a ragged, soiled shirt and filthy, unkept shorts.
Passersby looked at his clothes and gave him repulsed looks.
He was holding a piece of dry bread in one hand and beef jerky in the other. Normally, Dusk wouldn't be eating actual meat, but he decided to pamper himself after all, today was a special day.
It was the summer solstice, the day when thousands of young people around the world would awaken speical powers and start training to become trailblazers. Trailblazers had a special place in society, not because of their special powers but because they could travel through realm gates and bring back material to earth. But that wasn't the reason he decided to pamper himself today, he knew it was impossible for a mundane human like him to awaken after all, to awaken, you have to either kill monsters and absorb their mana or be a descendant of one, and both cases were imposible for him.
The real reason was that the summer solstice was his birthday and also the reason behind his name; his mother was a simpleton, and since he was born at dusk of the brightest day of the year, his mother decided to make his legal name Duskflare, not that anyone called him that anyway.
Funny enough, dusk was also when people would awaken, and it was quickly approaching. That's when Dusk saw a mysterious shape in the corner of his eye. He focused on the mysterious shape and strange words. The runes were said.
He read the message once, blinked, rubbed his eyes, and read it again
'What the actual fuuuck!This shouldn't be possible'
Another message popped up.
He read the message, and after some contemplation, he sighed and said
"Sure, why not?"
A huge screen suddenly showed up right in front of his face.
