Rising From The Ashes [V1]

0.1 - The Association

Soft winds sounded, sounds of the ocean, animals brimming with life. A young man opened his eyes as he sat up with a huge headache, he looked around.

A cottage style with some cabin in the woods vibes, in front of him lays a massive open window out to the an ocean, chairs set to oversee the ocean. The very room seemed to a master bedroom, however there was no dresser nor tv. The bed he layed in was comfortable and big, he took the blanket off and got up.

He began to walk towards the door, opening it as he was greeted with a woman sitting on a couch holding a tablet, sipping away with whatever was in her cup.

"Uhhh..." The man blinks, "Hello..?" He hesitated as he held his neck, unsure of what to say.

"Oh? Good morning!" The woman greeted warmly as she stood up, heading over, "Welcome to the Wondeestar Association, a grand place within the cosmos."

"Wonderstar... Association?" He tilted his head.

"Mhm, long story short, the Wonderstar Association is a hub for souls who met with the requirements to become a host. The soul is then bounded with a System and their head off to many worlds!" She explained happily. "I am Maii, a major nebulae within the executive class."

The man was dumbfounded before easily recovering, "Where exactly are we?"

"Serenitha island on Mavis, due to you being a novice within the introductory class, your only allowed on this island until you reach the expert class." She smiles, "Your system will explain more about that only with a few other things."

Maii walked to a full lengthed mirror, having her hand out to it. The man walked over and was rightfully shocked. Black hair to his chest, red eyes with a golden hue and slit pupils, fair skinned, and a models body. Elven like ears and sharp black nails. Wearing an all white male clothing.

"Due to protocols of the Association, all hosts appearances are changed along with names. Your new name is Ciarran, you may still look 19 however, you can still age overtime." Maii explained.

"Seriously? Holy shit, i look good! Although a bit on the feminine said but still." Ciarran complimented himself.

"Anyways, you may notice you zero recollection of how you died, that is just to help adjust you have indeed died. Along with it is your name. Everything else is intack." Maii once agained explained before walking towards a door and exiting.

Ciarran immediately followed, closing it behind him, being greeted by trees of unknown origins. Maii walked up to a car and went to the driver side. He went to the passenger.

Maii drove off as Ciarran looked outside, watching the new found environment. "Today is the 6th cycle, Nocturna 14th, Stellarius 0467, Starday. 07:23:54 am. The time is when you had just arrived, it is now 09:17:34 am, just 2hrs after."

Ciarran looked over at rapid speed, "Huh?!"

"This is the calendar the association goes by, obviously once you reach your apartment, your system will explain further details. Through majority of the stuff is accessible according to rank." Maii laughed.

Ciarran noticed tall gateways as he was surprised, below them was a small sea side city.

"Those gates are the section gateways. We'll be heading to the dark red gateway, which is called the resentment section." She smiled at his shock.

"Im just here to bring you to your respective section and place, everything else is on your system for deeper explanation." She added as she took a shorter way towards the gateways.

Ciarran was gazing at the city their were going oassed by. He had so many questions but is unable to ask as he was in disbelief. Everything happening feels just like a dream, when where you might wake up and forget everything.
