He looked at the breakfast, it looked really delicious. He took a bite and his cheeks turned red, it was really delicious. He ate like an animal and his parents and sister looked at him only. To them, their son Lucas was such a well mannered kid but now, Lucas didn't care about manners. They thought that it was because of the pressure.
Lucas grabbed the glass of the orange juice and drank it in one go.
His mother said, "Alteast take a breath, Lucas. ".
Lucas smiled and said, " I can't, the breakfast is too delicious. ".
They all only chuckled.
Lucas was ready to go to his room but then, the main door opened and a voice came, " You ready, Lucas?".
Lucas looked towards the voice and there was a boy, a boy atleast 4 years older than him. Lucas' mind turned dizzy, many memories traveled through his mind, many memories flashed right before his eyes.
He went numb, there was memory of him with his parents, of him playing with his big brother and of him studying and admiring every little thing about Lucian Vale.
But as the memory flashed right before his eyes, he forgot about that memory and slowly, as the time passed, he forgot about everything happened to him in his past life, he completely forgot about his past life. What he remembered was the memories of this life's Lucas.
He was staring at the boy who called his name.
Few words came out of his mouth, "So, you are finally here, Lucian Vale. ".
Lucian Vale, strongest adventurer ever to live on the planet Earth. The strongest adventurer to go down in the history. The only adventurer to reach to the final quest. The only adventurer who came close to the real freedom. He was standing infront of Lucas, but not as an adult or the strongest, but as a child. As a friend.
Lucian asked, "Why are you staring at me like that, Lucas? ".
Lucas gained back his consciousness and said, " Oh.. oh, nothing. ".
Lucas was wearing a loose shirt and pajama. Both of them were of red color.
Lucian said, " Well, get ready. If you remember, today is our Class choosing quest day. ".
Lucas said, " Ah, yes, yes. I will. ".
He got off the chair and ran to his room. Lucas knew that he did not belong to this world, he knew that something was wrong but he could not remember anything. Even though he had the memory of this Lucas' which should have made him feel like he belonged to this world, but still, still something was eating him from inside. Still there was a feeling.
He opened the door of his room and went inside. His family and Lucian could only look at his abnormal behavior but they didn't say anything. They thought that it was because of the pressure, pressure from the Class choosing quest.
Lucas was inside his room, his door closed and he was looking himself in the mirror. He still felt like something was wrong. He looked around and remembered every corner of the room, remembered every memory he had of this room but still, to him, something was wrong.
He went to the bookshelf and took out a book. It was not a book but a diary, diary of the Lucas who lived in this world.
He opened it and there was only 1 page on which something was written whereas all the pages were empty.
He first checked the date, 27 April 2025.
Lucas was confused because he did not belong to this timeline. He lived in 2198 but somehow, he came back in time but he did not remember anything.
He thought, 'There's something wrong. I know that the time and everything is correct and I wrote all this but still, this is not correct. ".
He was fighting with his thoughts because he still felt something wrong.
Suddenly, someone knocked at the door.
" Lucas, are you still not ready? Lucian is waiting. ".
It was the voice of his mother. He replied, " Yes mom, I am coming. ".
He put the diary back and opened the closet and took out clothes from it.
He wore them and looked himself in the mirror. Formal clothes. White shirt, black pant, black belt, black shoes and black socks.
He tied his long black hairs and opened the door. His mom was not there, she already went down. He was all alone in the corridor with numerous thoughts and confusion in his mind.
He walked down the stairs with the same keekk! sound.
Lucian was still standing near the main gate.
Lucian looked at Lucas and said, "You really took your time, didn't you? ".
Lucas chuckled and said, " Well, clothes are the part of looking better. ".
Lucian said, " You never change, do you? ".
Lucas did not plan to say these words but they came out of his mouth randomly as if something forced these words.
He remained silent after that, he remained calm and expressionless.
Both of them went out of the main gate after saying bye to Lucas' family. Outside the world was pretty—though it was not as advance as the Lucas' timeline. Lucas found something weird in the world even though it was perfect.
He was standing in his garden and the main gate of the mansion was still few meters away. The garden was big, very big. It had a footpath in the middle on which both of them were walking and green grasses around the path. The grass was cut perfectly. The main gate was made up of iron with spiky top. A tall wall surrounded the mansion. The main gate was attached to the wall. There was a guard, guarding the main gate and he greeted both of them. The guard was fat and was in his regular guard uniform. He opened the main gate for them.
Lucian looked better than Lucas. Lucian was 4 years older than Lucas, he was 12 years old. He had medium size silver hairs, his clothes were casual. Black t-shirt, black pant, black socks and shoes. His whole attire was black.
The walked out of the main gate, on the road. There were people walking around, here to there. Numerous buildings and houses around Lucas' mansion.
Lucian said, "New york is pretty, isn't it? ".
Lucas looked at him and murmured, " New york? ".
Lucian looked at Lucas and asked, " What happened? ".
Lucas replied, " Nothing. ".
He thought, " Yes, New York. I was born here, I live here. So why does it sound so weird? ".
He looked around, there were people. He could see multiple cafe too.
Suddenly, a black car came. It was Mercedes-Benz AMG A35 cosmos black color. It looked really pretty.
Lucian opened the door and looked at Lucas and said, " What are you waiting for? Get in already. ".
Lucas was startled by sudden words of Lucian because he was lost in his thoughts. Every human who get a call from the crimson screen is escorted by a government agent to the area. Whether through air ways, road ways or water ways, there's always a government agent for a group.
Lucian was taller than Lucas. Currently, Lucas was 132 cm where Lucian was 150 cm tall.
Lucian and Lucas, both sat on the back seats beside each other. The window of the car was open. Lucas could see many people on the footpath walking. The view was very pretty. The agent escorting them was in a black suit with white shirt and black tie. He wore black glasses to hide his vision. His looks were average, not good as Lucian and Lucas'.
Lucian asked, "So, what's the plan? ".
Lucas questioned, " Plan? ".
Lucian looked at him with surprise expression and said, " Don't tell me you forgot to make one.".
A memory flashed before Lucas' eyes where he and Lucian were talking about the Class choosing quest and Lucian told him to make a plan to complete the quest together. Lucas was so lost in his thoughts that he forgot to go through his own memories.
He said with guilty expressions, "Hehehe, you see Lucian. I was.. I forgot about it. ".
Lucian said, " What do you mean you forgot about it!? You always do this! I should have make one by myself! ".
Lucas only chuckled and looked outside. To him, the world looked beautiful. He forgot everything about his past life but there was still a feeling which made him feel odd. Which made him feel like he didn't belong to this place, to this timeline, to this world.
He opened the crimson screen, it is very simple to open it. You just have to say, "Crimson Screen" and it will open up.
There was an information on it.
[Your Class choosing quest is today. Reach to your destination given below before the time limit. ].
[Your destination: Mumbai, India. ]
[Time Limit: 27 Hours still left. ]
It was sure, that current destination of Lucian and Lucas was the John F. Kennedy International Airport.
Lucian asked, "Lucas, say, are you excited or afraid? ".
If Lucas would have remembered his past life memory, he would have said, " I am afraid. ", but for now, he said, " I am excited and afraid at the same time. ".
Lucian chuckled, he expected the same answer from his mouth. Lucian knew Lucas from when he was 8 years old. Lucian didn't have much friends, and Lucas was one of his friend, a close friend.
The speed of the car was moderate, neither very high nor very low.
The distance was of approx 13 km. They had to cover it and then to travel to the India through airplane.
Time passed and in 20-25 minute, they reached to the John F. Kennedy Internation Airport.
JFK has 6 active terminals, numbered 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, and 8 (Terminals 3 and 6 were demolished). Each terminal is managed separately and serves different airlines:
Terminal 1 – Mostly international airlines (e.g., Lufthansa, Air France)
Terminal 2 – Delta (being phased out; operations moved to Terminal 4)
Terminal 4 – Delta, KLM, Emirates, and other international carriers
Terminal 5 – JetBlue's main hub
Terminal 7 – British Airways, some international flights
Terminal 8 – American Airlines and partner carriers
Each terminal has:
Check-in counters
Security checkpoints
Gates
Lounges
Baggage claim
Customs and immigration for international arrivals
An automated people mover that connects all terminals, parking lots, car rental, and two major subway/rail stations (Howard Beach and Jamaica Station).
It's free within the airport and charges for external transfers.
JFK has 4 runways arranged in two pairs:
4L/22R and 4R/22L (North-South)
13L/31R and 13R/31L (Southeast-Northwest)
These accommodate heavy international aircraft like Boeing 777s and Airbus A380s.
One of the busiest air cargo centers in the U.S., located mainly on the north and south sides of the airport.
A modern ATC tower centrally located for managing JFK's heavy flight traffic.
Multiple short-term and long-term parking zones
Both of them got out of the car and the agent drove the car to the parking area and they were told to wait for him. Both of them were amazed by the amount of crowd present there. Mostly of them were going to India for their Class choosing quest. There were all age of human, from 5 to 70 years old. There were a few 70+ too but no less than 5 years old.
Class choosing quest does not provide the class alone, but it also provides the type of Wrath one should have. Whether it is fire wrath or water wrath, it all depends on the amount of achievements you will achieve in the Class choosing quest.
After waiting for few minutes, the agent arrived. He told them to follow him and all three of them entered in the airport. They had no luggage because there plan was not to stay in India and if they had to, they will just purchase material for themself from there.
After a little bit checking and all procedures, they were ready to ride the airplane. They already purchased the tickets in advance, not them actually. There's a separate flight for every human who is either an adventurer or got an opportunity to be one. The tickets and everything are mostly free for them. Only the true adventures have to pay but their salary is quite high, so it's like the price is negligible for them.
The government already purchased tickets for Lucas and Lucian and for the agent. The agent was personally assigned for Lucas and Lucian because of the influence of their family. They both were from very rich family, a rich and prosperous background.
Lucas took a step ahead towards the flight waiting for them but then, someone bumped on him and he fell on the floor.
Lucian looked at the one who bumped on him and his expressions changed to worry, his eyes widened and he said, "Oh no, not him! ".
