Somewhere in Dimension 0 on the planet Dimensia is being destroyed. In the center courtyard of the city next to giant buildings is a kid crying huddled up wearing a green and black hoodie. He looks up and sees people being murdered by creatures with wings. People being dragged out in the street, lined up in a row, and executed. He hides under building debris hoping to not be seen by the creatures. As he sits there he hears noises that sound like gunshots after gunshot, till nothing. It's silent. The only sounds he can hear are the fires roaring from the building and cars. An eerie noise, like something coming loose, makes him look up. A giant metal "U.D.F." building sign starts to fall towards him as he tries to get up and run away, but he's too late.
Whack!! The kid opens his eyes to find he's in a desk with drool dripping from his mouth. He looks up to see a very angry person with a ruler in their hand.
"Glad you could join us Number 0. Now quit falling asleep and listen."
Number 0 is that my name? But wasn't I just in a burning city?
He looked around at his surroundings. He was in a small room that looked like it was falling apart and smelt really bad. It was just him and two other kids in the class.
What happened? Why does everything seem so fuzzy and hard to remember?
As he thought he was hit on the head by the teacher with the ruler.
"Pay attention number 0 quit daydreaming." The teacher had an aggravated expression and was slamming the ruler back forth on their hand.
The boy looked at the teacher worried he would get hit again.
"I'm sorry I'll pay attention now." The boy bowed his head at the teacher.
"Good" the teacher walked to the front of the class to a blackboard and pointed at it.
Will continue then, the fall of Dimensia just happened so now i have to teach all of you the correct history and rules of our dimension because the ones in power lied and tried to corrupt you. Lucky for you, King Thanatos blessed us with his presence and eliminated the old king and stripped him of his right to live and restored order to our dimension. Now there are no dimensions outside of ours except for the celestials. They exist outside of our dimension, but no life and no other race exist except us humans.
Wait, what are they talking about? Who is king Thanatos and old king? Taught wrong? Why can't I remember anything?
The boy raised his hand.
"Yes number 0?"
"Um excuse me who is King Thanatos and what do you mean about dimensions and races?"
The teacher was infuriated and headed over to hit the boy, he grabbed his head and ready the hit. Till a girl with blue hair stopped the teacher.
"Wait please"
The teacher waitied with their hand just mere inches from hitting the boy's head.
The girl turned around and smiled at Number 0.
"You know who I am, yes?" She looked at the boy with a smile and held her hands together.
The boy looked confused.
Who is she? Should I know? Why can't I remember?
"Thank you for stepping in, but I'm sorry I don't know who you are." The boy said while faking a smile.
The girl hearing this lost her smile and dropped her arms and looked down at the ground. The teacher looked very sad and went back to the front.
"It happened again didn't it, that's ok. I promised you I would stick with you till the end. My name is Sierrna and I Am your future wife according to our systems." She perked herself back up and grabbed the boy's arms and smiled. The boy's eyes opened wide at the pure happiness she gave off and good vibes.
Wait, she's my future wife? I'm super lucky. She's so beautiful. Wait, I feel so happy and at peace with her.
The girl grabbed him and brought him to the window and pointed outside.
"This is our dimension, Dimensia and a week ago the savior King Thanatos showed up and saved us all from a horrible future. Were at a recreation camp or school. We're here to learn the proper rules and history of our dimension since we were taught wrong."
So we were taught wrong? I wish I remembered all of that.
The girl looked into his eyes and he felt his heart start to race. He then saw tears falling down the girl's face as she let go of his hand and ran out the room. He turned to look and she left and he felt a pain in his chest. The teacher approached and stood next to the boy.
"I'm sorry I shouldn't have hit you. I didn't know it happened again."
Happened again? What happened again?
The boy looked at the teacher in confusion then quickly remembered the girl.
"Why was she crying? Did I do something wrong?"
The teacher looked out the window for a while with a sad expression till finally turning to the boy.
"It's nothing you did. Trust me on that. You and her are to be married as to combat the decrease in population. Our god had decided to pair people up that are the same age so they would get along and live the rest of their lives peacefully. I'm sorry to ask this but, do you remember anything?" The teacher looked at the boy.
The boy looked at the teacher and then shook their head in a sideways motion.
"I see. Then I guess I will have to start over. She was crying because this is the 34th time you've lost all your memories."
The boy was shocked by the news.
I've lost all my memories not once or twice but 34 times.
The boy was lost for a while thinking about everything trying to process it. He then looked at the teacher.
"What's my name?"
The teacher just stared at the boy for a while and then a sadden expression filled the teacher's face.
"You don't have one, so everyone calls you Zero."
"Do I have a family?"
The teacher paused and started to have tears fall down their face. The teacher quickly wiped the tears away and gained composure again.
"No you don't, I'm sorry Zero."
I dont have anyone, I don't have a name, I don't even have memories.
The boy stopped thinking as tears fell from his face.
Why am I crying? Why am I sad?
The teacher dropped the ruler and hugged Zero pulling him close into their chest. The teacher couldn't hold them back anymore, the teacher started to cry with Zero.
"It's ok, Zero were here. We won't leave you behind no matter how many times you lose your memories, We won't abandon you."
The teacher after a while loosened their grip on Zero and then wiped their tears and Zero's.
"Go play outside on the playground. I'll get lessons back to stage one again ok."
Zero headed out the room and outside to see the girl on the swing still crying, he approached her. He grabbed her hand and held it and looked at her.
"I'm sorry I didn't remember you. I'm sorry I keep losing my memories."
The girl looked up at Zero and started to wipe her tears with her hand while Zero was still holding on.
"Sierrna, Sierrna, Sierrna, Sierrna. Now I won't forget it." Zero said with a smile. Sierrna smiled back.
Sierrna got off the swing.
"Let's go play Zero, let's make as many memories so that way you wont forget them."
The two of them played for hours going up and down on the slide, swinging on the swingset, building sandcastles.
This is fun, I hope I don't forget this wonderful day.
Zero headed inside with Sierrna and back to the class, where the teacher showed them to their rooms. Zero is brought to a really small room with a single bed pushed up against a wall. Zero gets into the bed.
I hope I can keep these memories
As Zero lays in bed he thinks about the day and all the events that happened. He then looks over at a tiny desk with a writing utensil and notepad, he gets out of bed and heads to the desk and picks up the utensil and starts to write,
"Your name is Zero, you have a memory loss problem. It's ok you may not know what to do but it's ok just remember Sierrna, she's your future wife. It's ok you did like her and were ok with it. It may seem hard at first. It'll be ok, you'll be fine because she won't abandon you so remember her."
I hope that will do. Although I hope I don't lose my memories again, this is just a precaution so I wont make her sad again.
Zero thinks of Sierrna and her smile. He ends the note and gets back into bed and falls asleep. The next morning Zero falls out of his bed. He gets off the floor and looks around confused.
Where am i? What happened?
Zero looks around in the unknown room and sees a note and sees writing on it. He picks it up and reads the note. He once again faces the harsh reality he lost his memories again. He hears a knock on the door and a girl's voice.
That must be this Sierrna I wrote about.
Zero fixed his messy bedhead and opened the door. Standing there was Sierrna with a happy expression. Zero stared at her for a while which made her blush a little.
"Um, is there something on my face Zero?"
"No, I'm sorry it's just your so captivating to look at Sierrna."
Sierrna hearing that looked a Zero with widened eyes.
"You remembered my name. You remember Zero. You didn't lose your memories this time."
"No, I did but I remembered you like I said I would."
Sierrna fell on her knees and started to cry.
"Zero, Zero, Zero you remembered me!!"
