Looming gates, gothic revival architecture, dark vibes—that is what Gloomfield is. A school for outcasts and people with super powers. However, it's not what you think it is.

It is not a boring Academy that teaches students on how to be heroes or to control them. It's a place where they teach them to grow, to feel like they belong—and to give home to everyone that were pushed away by societies because of their uniqueness.

One of them? Echo. He's the noise maker—literal. His ability is to send shockwaves through his voice. He can control the loudness and softness, viewed as one of the coolest abilities called "Echoes".

Not only is he good looking, he's also a streamer in an Application that's made for outcasts. There are thousands of students at Gloomfield, sometimes even from other Academies, who know him.

"Echo 'Hottie' Martinville" Your friend, Emma, kept on giggling about as you both walked to the cafeteria.

"You gotta see him, OMG! You're gonna fall—hard!" She added, jumping up and down like a little kid.

You've just got into Gloomfield, still new to the surroundings, and still trying to adjust to everything. But there are things you've learned:

First, don't trust Emma's taste in fashion. (She doesn't follow color theory) Second? Don't go to Oasis alone. (It's a town just down Gloomfield's forest) And third? Look at where you're going.

Because right now, you've just bumped into Echo. Causing him to spill his iced tea, and his voice boomed around the cafeteria, causing the the tables to shake. He cannot control his voice when he's surprised.

"Hey, that's close. Almost spilled it to ya." He muttered. "But it's kinda cool." He added, gesturing to the cold drink now staining his clothes. His humor is really something.
