Sunny biggest enemy "Fate".
'Yeah, i don't think i can do anything about it right now.' with these thoughts i close the shower, and walked out of the shower room, with a towel warped around my waist.
Looking at the mirror, i saw my body which is thin and lean, my ribs were faintly visible beneath the surface of my skin, my dark wet hairs clinging onto my face.
Seeing at my reflection i couldn't help but "sigh"
'I am weak.' i mean i am not kidding, my body is too thin and barely even had any muscles on it.
How the hell am i supposed to fight the monsters ?
'How was Sunny even able to survive the forgotten shore ?
With this type of body ?'
But then again i am not Sunny, only an imposter who has taken his body.
'Like a parasite.' i thought as memories of my past life started coming in my mind, the orphanage, the bullying, the pain, the abuse, all of these memories felt like a sharp knife that seems to stab my body numerous times.
Shaking my head, as i stopped thinking about those time.
'That was in previous life.' Yeah right now i need to focus on my current situation.
'i need to do put work in it.' i am not Sunny, i might have his memory, his life experience one could even say that i have lived his life, but even after all of this, i am not Sunny.
'i will never be.' i am Alex, the abused orphaned child with nothing but the knowledge of the future of this world.
'Although i don't like the life i was given.' i mean no one likes to get thrown into the world of novel, and that too of Shadow Slave, and as if to rub the salt on my wounds i am in the body of the Main Character, whose up coming life is nothing but full of misery.
'Well atleast i am not in the world of Reverend Insanity.' Yeah because if i was, i would just kill myself.
'But still i was given a second chance and i will make sure to not let it go to waste.' in my previous life i was always at the mercy of others, getting crushed by them, and doing whatever they told me.
'But this time i will make it change.' with my first clenched, i vow to never let my past repeat itself, i vow to never be weak again.
My gaze landed down at my feet, their i saw a dark shadow that was just silently looking at me, without even saying anything, not like it can say anything even if it's wanted too.
But the thing is it's silence was really creepy, and also a bit scary.
'Gloomy...' then i quickly look away, ignoring the look shadow was giving me, since right now have more important things to do, like...
'i need to find a way to avoid reveling anything about the future events.' with my flaw i think it's going to be hard, very very hard in fact.
'But it's not imposable.' i mean i can Speak the truth — but disguise the delivery because what i will say is true but the other party will not be able to understand it.
I can also say it in parts or reverse order, making it harder for the other party to understand what i am even trying to say.
I can also Mask it with noise or interference, i can cough or make strange sounds in the middle of the sentences that could make the other party confused about the words i spoke.
And many more others ways, where i don't need to reveals anything, while also not lying at the same time.
'Their are many ways, i just need to find a way to execute these methods.' but it was easier said then done, i mean i was not a master manipulator nor i was a good at deceiving others like Sunny.
'The path ahead is really full of challenges.' their is also another way, which can grantee my survival by 90%.
'i could just cut my tongue or destroy my vocals codes.' i mean since i will not be able to speak i can avoid telling the truth, and even if this didn't work i will need to express my thoughts in sign language, which is hard for someone like me who still hasn't learn it properly, so i can also make it harder for the others to understand me
'To be honest i don't really want that.' i mean in my previous life was mute, i can't speak, but in this life when i finally got the chance to speak, to say my words, i don't want to let it go, i know it was a selfish request that could even cost my survival, or worst my life.
'i am willing to take the risk.' but if worst come to worst, i would just cut my tongue.
Then i quickly remove the towel and put on the white tracksuit that was given to me by the Police. The fabric was soft, but i felt strangely uncomfortably exposed beneath this loose fit.
'Well it is better then standing naked.' i thought while remembering my previous life.
Running the hand through my damp hair, i took one last look at the reflection.
"L-let's s-see w-where t-this goe-es...." damn i need to work on my speaking skills more.

After a lot of asking around, i finally reach towards the direction of cafeteria, as i enter the room, i saw it was large, with rows of table, but the fact was the it was strangely very quit, even when their are only a handful of people here, then my gaze landed at the women sitting in one of the tables.
She sat alone at a table, a tray of untouched food in front of her. She has short raven-black hair framed her flawless face, her icy-blue eyes cutting through the noise like a blade. Her pale skin was unnervingly white—almost as pale as his own. There was a sharpness to her gaze, a cold precision that seemed to measure and weigh him as he approached.
And her body, damn she is hot with a thick hourglass figure, and her huge melons.
'Master Jet.' i thought as i remember the information about her.
From what i know is that she works for the government, unlike most Awakened of her rank, who were fueled by greed or ambition. Jet operated on a sense of duty—altruism, but that didn't mean she was kind. In fact, most people thought she was insane, No! they know that she is a psychopathic killer. And while that wasn't exactly true, it wasn't entirely wrong either.
'She needed to kill.' Constantly, her powers required her to absorb essence to survive.
'I don't care what anyone says she is a Mommy.'
'A killer Mommy.' i thought as i approached the table, she raised an eyebrow, clearly intrigued.
'Must be because of change in appearance.' i mean the last time she saw Sunny, she didn't think that he looked cute, and he has black eyes, not red one. She also said that he will become a flower boy in future.
Jet's gaze lingered on me for a long moment before her lips curled into a slight smile.
"I didn't think you'd look this cute."
Hearing this i couldn't help but stiffened.
'Cute ?' did she just call me cute ?
Heat started to crept up my neck, as i couldn't help but blush at her response.
'She is really into me isn't she...'
'No! focus Alex, she is dangerous, but she is also hot.' i then pinched my hand, trying to forced myself to keep my expression neutral as possible. i then sat down in front of her, my gaze briefly landed at the food on the table before turing my gaze upwards, her blue eyes still weighing on me, she seems to have a lot of questions on her mind but it's looks like she didn't know where to begain.
Then after a while she said.
"So… what happened to you?" Jet's voice was smooth and measured. But i could feel the there was an undertone of genuine curiosity beneath it.
I tried to keep my silence, but it seems that this strange feeling which was slowly turning into pain the longer i tried to keep quite.
'i need to be careful here.' with these thoughts i answered.
"I-i d-don't know, I-i g-guess I j-just… c-changed." i said finally, but i was stuttering in mid sentences.
'Man speaking is hard...'
"What's with the slutter." she asked, it seems like she is getting suspicious.
"I-it's m-my first t-time, i-i d-don't know w-what's h-happ-pening." i said, trying my hardest to keep my words steady, while also looking at her.
Jet gaze was on me for a long time, it seems like she was studying my reaction, trying to see any cracks in it, but after a while her gaze softened slightly.
'It seems like she didn't want to push any further.' which was honestly good.
"How was your Nightmare?" she asked her next question, now this one was a bit tricky, but i know the answer to this one too.
I wasn't the one to face the nightmare, it was Sunny himself. I just got the memories of the aftermath. Still, it is enough to give a believable answer.
"I-it was… o-okay, i g-guess." i said with some paused in my sentences,
Hearing my response, Jet's eyebrow twitched upward, as she said.
"Okay you say ?"
To her reaction i just shrugged my shoulder as i said. "I survived. T-that's w-what's mat-ters, r-right ?"
Her lips curled upward. "Fair enough."
"Help yourself." she said while pointing at the food that was on the table.
I looked at the steaming synthetic food that was on the table, and couldn't help but grimaced.
'She is a Master, yet this is the food she give to the person who just survived their first nightmare.' i couldn't help but think, maybe her paycheck is really low for a Master rank Awakend.
'Isn't this food normal for Sunny.'
I remember from Sunny memories that this food was nothing but consumed for filling the stomach. It was tasteless, yet the only source of food that is in the outskirts.
'To be honest i am hungry but this....' i mean it's not like i hate the food or anything it's just that i don't really want to eat anything right now, even when i am feeling hungry.
"I-i don't f-feel like it." i said while shifting my gaze from the food.
Jet looked at me for a movement, her eyes flashing with surprise looks, then she said.
"Well whatever, it not my place to say anything else, and it's not like i was the one who pay for that food."
Hearing her laid back tone, i couldn't help but think.
'Her attitude is really something else.' but then again, she is a Master while i am nothing but a sleeper, she can kill me with a flick of her finger, and all i can do is sit back.
'Although i would really like her to suffocate me in those thick tights of her.' i couldn't help but pinch my hand again.
'What the hell am i even thinking.' i then lightly shook my head, to get these thoughts out of my mind.
"S-so is t-their anything e-else you were a-about to tell me." i asked the question, which answer i already know.
"Well yes, as per protocol, I am obligated to inform you of a few things. It is mostly a formality. First of all, concerning your Nightmare. You are entitled to receive free psychological counseling. No matter what traumatic experience you have encountered, there is no shame in asking for help. Your mind is as important as your body — it's only right to keep it healthy. Are you interested."
'Yeah right, the psychological counseling, more like wanting to find more about my nightmare, aspect, and worst of all my.... flaw.' i couldn't help but pity those poor people who fell for this trick, and expose their secretes to the government.
I shook my head, in denial.
She looked at me then shrugged her shoulder, as she said "well whatever not my place to say anything, so was it hard ?"
'You just said that it's not your place to say anything.'
"I-it w-was worse and o-okay at the s-same time." i said with some difficulty after all, Sunny really had it worse, i just a Spector nothing more, nothing less.
For a movement their was nothing was silence between us.
"S-so is their a-anything else."
Jet leaned back, as she said.
"That's basically it. There are some additional hoops to jump through, mostly having to do with your family, but… well. I've read your file, so I know it doesn't apply. The only thing left is to decide how you will be preparing for your first journey into the Dream Realm"
TING!!
Jet sat up straight as she looked at her communicator and grimaced.
"I must stay, your luck is exceptionally bad. There's not a lot of time at all. First of all: you are free to do what you want. No one is forcing you to make a certain decision. That is to say, you can choose to prepare on your own, or not prepare at all. Party until the lights go out."
Hearing her says that my luck is bad, i thought with some bitter ness. 'Well i already know it, you don't have to say it.'
'And what party am i supposed to do ???'
Jet continued, not knowing about my thoughts.
"However, I would advise against that. As a Sleeper, you are also entitled to enroll in the Awakened Academy...."
I stopped listing to the words said by her, since i already know what she is going to say next.
'This is getting boring.' i mean i am listing to the words, i have already read.
'i wonder, if their are any other people like me who got reincarnated into this world.' i mean, i know that i am not the chosen one, my luck is not that great.
'And if their are, then i am not save.' i thought with a grimly, i mean if their are any other people reincarnated or transmigrated into this world, then they must know the future, and they must also know my true name, meaning they can enslave me.
'Damn this is getting complicated.' i thought as i could feel a headache coming.
Jet continued.
"-enter the Dream Realm with you. Some of them might become your companions for life."
'And some might try to end it.' i thought as i mentally chuckled, while remembering a guy from Han le clan.
"So, what do you say? Do you want me to take you to the Academy ?"
i was silent for a while, trying to surpass my flaw, but it seems like it is getting hard, then with a long pause i said.
".......yes." i said, yay i finally said a word without any slutter.
'It is a progress.'
"Well then get ready." she said while standing up.
i also stood up and followed her as she lead the way, somehow her her presence was making the air feel heavier, as we walked out of the building, i saw it the world outside of the police station.
Flying cars, trains, busses, really tall building that seems to reach the sky, so many advertisement, and a lot of people holding smart gadgets.
'What an Advance society.' i couldn't help but marvel at the site, because this scene looked straight out of cyberpunk game.
