The awakened silently stood before the boy. The boy couldn't see how the awakened react because of his mask.
"Really? You poor boy," the ambiguous vive came out of the mask.
The boy didn't react, he wasn't the only one who didn't have a name.
Most other people who didn't have anyone also didn't have a name.
He was one of the few who got so old as he did, but even he would reach soon his demise.
The streamer not knowing what to do asked him a question, the boy never thought about getting asked.
"Do you want me to give you a name?"
The boy looked at him dumbfounded but before he could give the awakened an answer they already replied with a name.
"Cane! Yes, Cane because of your stick," the awakened streamer loudly announced pointing at the boy's walking stick.
'Is that really a name?' The boy thought never hearing a name similar to his.
"I can see it on your face, Cane is an alright name if you don't like it don't take it. Do you know how I got my streaming name?" the streamer asked expecting a reply the streamer waited.
Hearing nothing but the noise from the main street ,which was connected to this side street.
The streamer answered their own question.
"I wanted to speed run games so I called myself speedrunner, but after being awakened I chose to make parkour streams doing challenges for donations. Can I call you Cane?"
The young male thought that the awakened didn't tell the whole truth. After considering the new name the nameless boy nodded, turning the nameless boy into Cane.
The streamer jumped after hearing Cane's answer, making dust scatter in the air.
Looking at the time the awakened said their goodbye and quickly disappeared from the newly named boys view.
The boy looked at the direction the fast awakened went, without noticing it a small smile appeared on his crusty lips.
Unconsciously Cane grabbed his stick and the chaos crystal.
Taking a closer look at the street he saw several items lying on the ground. He saw shoes and a rucksack
The shoes to his dismay were neither the same color nor the same size, luckily they were made of cloth and could be slightly adjusted, still a slight noticeable difference, but it was better to wear shoes than to walk barefooted.
The left shoe was dark brown and the right shoe was beige colored.
The rucksack had only one big opening and was made of a slightly sturdier material than the shoe sole of his bicolored shoes.
Picking up the rucksack, Cane felt that something was inside increasing the weight only slightly.
Opening the rucksack the small boy saw something surprising making his weak heart beat slowly faster.
The boy saw several energy bars and a small loaf of bread.
A smile crept up his face, he made his way home eating one energy bar and drinking a small portion from his Waterskin.
Feeling tired after the whole day the boy did the same thing he did before the spatial crack appeared, he lied down trying to sleep.
Now with a fuller stomach the boy felt his consciousness slip, grabbing the chaos crystal more tightly.
The Boy now asleep didn't notice that something happened even he didn't know could happen.
The chaos crystal in his hand began to slightly glow it's energy flowing through his hands into his arms spreading inside his body.
Suddenly the boy grew restless, shifting from side to side. After some time the boy stopped shifting and began to sleep like a rock.
---
It was the next day the sun ray lighted his whole house, which consisted of one room.
Cane woke up feeling a bit more energetic.
'Thank you energy bar... and thank you speedrunner for the water.'
Looking at his hand he saw something weird, the chaos crystal was now an empty glass shard, no energy and no color.
'What, what happened to my crystal?'
Cane was confused, was he too tired noticing anything when Speedrunner gave him the shard yesterday.
Ignoring these thoughts he stood up, as he stood up he noticed that he could put more of his weight onto his legs, but he still needed his stick
Feeling more energised, he decided to look around hoping to find more food and water.
Putting his rucksack on his bag and tightly lacing his bicolored shoes around his ankle, Cane stepped outside.
Walking to the main street he saw a huge pile of ash.
The people, who were sitting and playing on the street yesterday, avoided the pile.
Taking a closer look Cane saw the silhouette of several human body parts, now realising that this huge pile of ash were the humans who did yesterday.
Suddenly he saw something shine in the pile of ash.
Without realising it, Cane stepped closer to the pile, slowly making his way to the shining object.
Standing in front of the area where it shone, the boy took his walking aid and slowly dug with it.
After a couple of second the curios boy found something. Something that he thought to have acquired very recently.
Squatting down the boy used his stick as a pillar for support, he extended his arm and grabbed something.
That something being a chaos crystal. He quickly grabbed it and put it in his bag.
Standing up he saw that several people looked at him murmuring words like disgrace or monster under their breath.
Cane ignored them, he clapped his ash infested hands together hoping the ash would go away.
The boy rushed home or more walked home because of his legs and immediately pulled the real chaos crystal out of his bag, he compared it to the shard lying on the ground.
The crystal and shard looked really similar, the chaos crystal had something inside giving it color.
The boy was sitting on the ground in his left hand the crystal and in the right hand the shard.
Examining both and then something happened that surprised the boy.
The energy in the crystal began to stir and suddenly move out of the crystal to his hands.
