Ditto what Ruben said.
My suggestion- take an author whose work you really like. Look st the way they write. Try and imitate that style using your own words as a starting point. What you have is very narrative based and I think that's how we all start. Go for more dialog to start with.
Don't need all the background up front. That's for you to know and us to find out as you work it into the story where we need to know it.
Start out with some action up front. Something to grab the readers attention and make them want to keep reading. No parenthesis. It's a story, not a textbook.
Keep writing and welcome to the Authors Hangout- you found the right place to ask other authors and stay around. Ask questions. The answers can be blunt but we're all writers and we've all been where you are.
