(Author's note: English is not my first language)
It happened exactly 50 years ago; an outbreak shook the very foundation of our human beliefs. 10 % of the population were affected by the phenomena we now called --- the awakening.
They are the people above human beings, divided into three classifications; the alpha, beta and omega. Before this whole fiasco happend this system only contains in our books, fiction concept we loved so much. Of course, that can't be said about animals, this division was already been used by the wolves before but now we humans apply it to them.
The question is how and when did this all happen?
A man we fondly called Alpheus in the research department was the first subject; he was the first known awakened alpha that grace the world. According to the writings and observation on his medical reports. He stated that there was a sudden surge of energy he felt that day, he felt as if he can accomplish something, his senses are more sensitive as ever, his judgement is always on point, and there was a gradual change in his physical body. The people around him reported that they felt as if they are compelled to do whatever he said and do, there was an urge to follow him. That month the 32-year-old man was accomplished more than ever.
It was 3 months after, when he went for his usual morning jog and a gun point happened in the café he always passed by, he luckily pulled a miraculous stunt and save 10 people inside and those outside to a possible homicide. He initially blamed it to his adrenaline but when he went to a hospital to get check for few bruises, he was sure he had, there was none to be exact it was already healed only a few marks and blood that indicate that there was a wound remained.
That day, the local hospital didn't allow him to go out of the hospital and quarantined him, at first, he argue but when they explained it to him it took a little moment of realization before he agreed. The hospital he went called the national research and hospital in that country and reported the following.
There was a man who saved people from dying, it was heroic of him but the problem is he was covered in blood, especially his hand where he was sure a knife was pierced, the thing is when he was sent in our hospital all the wounds and bruises are already gone.
That was the report of the doctor assigned to him that day, at first no one believed it but they proceed to investigate him and the whole accident. It was a week after when they already had reviewed the CCTV, they transfer him to an isolated facility and informed him that he would be transferred to another country that could help him. He asked why and they showed him what transpire for that 15- minutes inside the café, he saw himself getting stabbed in his palm when he tried to stop the burglar and he was also graze in his left arm which seems pretty deep. What bothered them the most is how his eyes changed to blood red when the man tried to grab an old lady and they saw how Alpheus pounced on the burglar to the point of nearly killing him
Apparently, the island specifically he was transferred to, holds a facility made especially for his kind, they have been researching about this awakening for a long time. Throughout the history there are recorded Paene¸ the people who had not fully awakened this ability of some sort.
Most of them are just nearly there, but because of the shock to their body they couldn't handle it and died. Most of them are young lords, successful merchants, businessman and politicians yet because they haven't fully utilized their powers it led them to early deterioration.
Then here he comes, Alpheus successfully awakened his ability, then they dig on how and why he did it, his background and family history. He was a bright kid per se, he is an intelligent kid but he was lost on how to vent all that knowledge.
Alpheus then was offered a contract on that facility, then on the night of full moon he triggered multiple awakening on the vicinity of the area and that is how he started all of this.
The facility was then called as the Alpheus Medical and Research Facility (ARMF), the awakened are labeled as excitavit. There are three major factions in the society, the A-B-O;
The Alphas; they are rulers they only occupy 10% of the excitavits, superior, powerful and successful Alphas they can be men and women, or any gender they chose. They are divided into three, The dominant (DA), the neath (BA) and the distinct (DIA). The DA are the rarest, only 1% of them are alive Alpheus belonged to DA they have this ability to awakened other ABO ability, more than that they are those excitavit that follows their instinct more. The BA are not rare but not easily can be found at the same time they can't be compared to the DA's they follow their mind and rationality more than their instinct. Then the DIA the normal Alpha, a leader but not the supreme one.
Omegas always follow the Alphas, also a rare one, not because they are omega does mean they are useless they are omega's because they give power to the Alphas, they are the one behind their success. A strong mind and heart supporting their chosen one. More than anything else Omegas run the society they are in, most of them are working in Universities, Science and Technology field, they are the knowledge every alpha needs.
The Betas, they occupy half population of the excitavit. The one who compose and complete the team the followers and workers. They might not be as special as the other two but they complete the whole system they had the respect of the Alphas and Omegas because without them the society would not function
The remaining 80 % of human population are the normal people without any blood and ability to be awakened.
The bell started ringing signifying break was over, I am currently working as a researcher and professor in my country. I was fascinated by this system we have and live now, albeit unfair for some but I live for the thrill of finding and discovering something new.
Actually, I have a secret I am an awakened one, the only problem is I am an omega... and an alpha at the same time.
