Griseo Penthouse, Artifex City
The young man's stomach growled fiercely, begging for food to relish and devour. He had just woken up early in the morning, too early that the skies were still in its pitch black shade, Neighbors were in their deep slumber, just like the dawn who has yet to rise.
But what's truly asleep is his consciousness that seemed to be away from the present ever since he woke up. Yes, he is certainly free from the bonds of sleep, but his obliviousness of his surroundings prevailed.
For now, all that matters for him is to relieve the uncomfortable feeling in his stomach. With the loud grumble from his insides, the man swore that a sentient being is overcoming his body and to stop the invasion of his living stomach, he went downstairs to the kitchen to eat breakfast.
Today was Monday, the day of the week that is universally hated in the whole world. Why was it hated? Perhaps it is because that day is the initial deadline of a human's beloved 2-day off that they have awaited for five days.
It's a situation where if a person didn't prepare themselves, then they would have to deal with it without objection. Whether it may be a student or a working adult; it is a hectic day made by humans to make humans suffer.
Most importantly, it is the conscience of a person's mind, smacking them with the harsh reality of life that they are human beings - beings that needed to work to sustain their life. Because society teaches them that without money, they are essentially knocking on Death's door.
And with his line of work and schedule for this day, it is definitely going to be life-draining, he badly required energy to boost himself.
Disappointment flashed into his cyan eyes when he realized that his older sister was yet to be awake, meaning that he would have to actually make an effort and prepare breakfast for himself.
A bit ungrateful considering the fact that he resides in her penthouse and it is 3:00 am in the morning, so to expect someone to be awake is indeed unreasonable and foolish. But as they were siblings, it is what it is.
Well, drastic times call for drastic measures, hyperbolic, but he's basically starving in the cursed time of the demon. Darkness, occupying the seemingly vacant space of his sister's penthouse.
Creeping in every corner of the room, with the known appearance of a haunting and suffocating murk, to the young man, darkness is beautiful and astonishing.
It was not invited yet it was never late when light vanished, if you had darkness as your friend, wouldn't it be cool?
.....Why was he drifting away from the main topic? He, himself, had also forgotten - it was probably because he didn't turn on the lights.
Going with his drastic solution imprinted in his mind, he opened the refrigerator and searched for his guilty pleasure breakfast.
A breakfast that doesn't require the professional skill of a chef to taste good, only by its two ingredients can make a revolutionary flavor that can make someone squirm and moan in pleasure for its sinful sugary components.
That was an exaggeration. It's just a cereal, a yellow star-shaped cereal, that is. It may not be nutritional but it did say in the box that it is made with whole grain and has vitamins and dietary fibre. By that marketing alone, it seemed to be a good and safe to consume in the mornings.
Just don't worry about the cereal's name, SUPERNOVA and their motto; "LUMINARY EXPLOOOOOOOSION!" Which translate into two words: Sugar & Diabetes. Obnoxious as it is, the tagline of the product is exactly spelled with seven O's and as stated in the product's advertisement -
"Before savoring the enthralling taste of the luminary, one must chant the powerful spell, LUMINARY EXPLOOOOOOOSION! To cause a SUPERNOVA!"
With excessive conviction and spirit, it is strongly recommended.
Question, what adult would fall for such marketing tactic? It is clearly for naive and gullible children who are still enjoying their youth and innocence, where their attention span lasts for a short period of time, easily distracted with the wonderful things in the world.
It was natural that companies targeted for children would formulate a ruse to turn their attention to their product. So, it was not far off to say that only an immature adult would give in to such embarrassing acts.
Well…contrary to belief, the tagline for the cereal is greatly satisfying to call out - even to an adult. It's just how the advertisement describes the product, it exactly sounds and feels like a powerful magical spell. Two words that were powerful enough to bring destruction to Astraeus' luminaries.
Honestly, it may be more entertaining for an adult rather than a child, especially to those who are kids by heart.
And this young man is exactly that.
But despite the urge to unleash his childish self, he could not live with the humiliating consequences, after all, the woman who lives with him and his older sister will definitely mock him into oblivion.
'But....it wouldn't hurt to try, right?'
....
....
....
"luminary explooooooosion!"
