It's early morning on Monday, birds just get out from their nest and fly to find food. There also few students who wake up as early as them, probably because their school is far from home so they need to get up early
One of them is me, as soon as I wake up, I immediately reach my phone and check the time before the alarm could even make its job.
". . . Ha, it's damn 6 in the morning . . . "
I immediately get up from my bed like a zombie and stay in sit position for couple of minutes to gather my inner Zen before forcing myself to get up, take a cold shower and wear my school uniform while grunting under my breathes with half tired eyes.
*I hate school, why the hell that government of this country think that it's a good idea to make students arrive at school before 7:30 in the morning?*
I then put a nametag saying 'Dani' above my school pocket shirt. That is the name that my parents give me before when I still three months inside the womb.
After a few minutes of making myself looks clean and fragrant, I look at myself in front of a mirror, with a wandering question inside my mind
*Should i make myself a bowl of cereal?. . . Oatmeal?. . . But I can also grab few of those banana cake slices that I just bought yesterday. . .*
I think to myself before finally head to the kitchen and make myself a sandwich, nothing is better than a sandwich for breakfast after all.
I head to my couch and sit down before open my TV and watch a news channel.
"It's still 6:40, hmm, so I still got some time to enjoy my sandwich. . ."
As I watch the news, it now cut to live showing a man with techno armor getting crowded with bunch of people and reporters, cheering over him with applause and grateful
*" The hero saved the day again… At 2:30 morning earlier, our hero with codename 'frost diamond' capture two robbers who try to rob a bank and threaten people inside it with their magic… "*
". . . Heh, yeah. . . Hero my ass, damn fake" I say while using every single pieces of restraint to not throw my precious sandwich at the TV
I hate heroes . . . Especially him. Thanks to him abandoned me and my family at car incident when I was seven. Since that accidents, it ignited my hatred to heroes and make me realize how cruel and disgusting someone with two faces can be . . .
A headache suddenly surface into my head with my memories flash before my eyes about the incident.
*"Help!. . . Help us-! " I said while reaching my 7 years old hand to the window, hoping the armor guy who's not too far away from my parents car will see us
But, instead of helping, he just turn his head slowly and look at me before flying away in high speed, leaving me and my parents to die.
And they did, death because of blood loss.
"Fuck. . . It's happening again. . . " I said while gripping my head with both my hands while gritting my teeth
". . . Fuck you. . . Heroes. . . Fucking hypocrite. . . "
I take a deep breath, try to resurface those memories into the back of my mind. I don't want to have bad mood before school start
*. . . Well, maybe not all heroes . . . There are some real heroes out there, I know cause 'they' are exist. . . My childhood friends. . .* I thought to myself, trying to make sure that bad memories didn't surface back into my mind before take a deep breath
"Damn it constellations. . . If you really can control each concepts of this universe, why created people like him. . .? Did you all abandoned this universe?"
In this world where magic, aliens and other fantasy exist, it is not as beautiful as in those fantasy books, in this world, the day will not be complete without news of destruction, murders and other crimes that will always include death of peoples. . . If this world had a genre. . .
"Breaking news! Right now we with the victims who's their newborn baby had just being eaten by a cannibal who can use invisible magic! " the news cut back into live report that had just happened a minute ago
"PLEEEEASEEE!!! ANYBODY! CATCH THAT PERSON!!! " a mother crying in the background while holding her headless baby in her arms
. . . Dark fantasy will be more fitting
*Well, not that I care anyway. . . I'm just a NPC in this fantasy world, not like 'them' who play important role in this world. . .*
I finish my sandwich and grab my bag before leaving the house calmly with a little feel of laziness. I still had about 30 minutes before the school gate closed, so I choose to walk.
As I walked to my school, there are some students who use their magic to fly into school but they just 1 feet from ground, some students who can teleport just within range of 2 meters and other students who practice their magic that are not so powerful with their friends while walk into school as well.
*Well, at least they're better than me. . . I can't even cast one. . . What the hell Constellations???*
In this universe, even though you didn't have the talent to become a prodigy at magic, at least you can cast a simple fireball
Me? I can't even ignite small spark of fire in tip of my finger
I figure this out a week after my parents dead, I was filled with so much hatred on that time onto heroes I had once wished demon will takeover my whole body just so that I can use magic, but it didn't happen
It give me both fortunate and unfortunate feelings in my heart
So I decide to learn how some magic spells work to help my friends about their power so that they can achieve their true potential while also learn everything that human can learn in this world.
But, there's one thing I feel grateful about and that is this world had a tolerance with weak or people like me. No discriminations against the weak or strong, everyone here can pretty much had tolerance with each other.
Well. . . At least in this country I know of. I didn't know how other countries treat the powerless guy like me. . . But I'm already grateful enough that it's not like in those fantasy books or comics I read that always show where strong pick on the weak or nobles and commoners always had beef with each other.
I always used to be scared of that possibility when I was a kid, and I'm grateful it didn't happen here.
"Quick! Get inside the school or we will just closed the school gate whether you cry for us to open the gate!" Shout my discipline teacher
Geez teacher, calm down, we still had like 10 minutes before school assembly start. No need to shout that loud. This day is going to be boring as hell and you just interrupt my monologues. Thanks for that.
