[First Pov]
Eating my lunch while sitting on the same bench with such a beauty is a great experience to me, especially when the girl is one of the most beautiful and favorite characters in my opinion.
Maybe that's the reason that many authors put her in their fanfics. Like, let's be honest, she is cute and beautiful yet sexy like an onee-san with mature allure except her sharp tongue but that is something special to her, making her different and gives a new taste.
Kasumigoaka Utaha, the girl from How to Raise a Boring GF or simply Sakaeno.
She has this flirty nature that makes her delicious and tasty when you try to taste her in every way possible, including THAT way. You know what I mean.
But anyway, meeting her makes it my first encounter with an anime character which is a good sign to me, however, the possibility of meeting other dangerous characters still exists and cannot be excluded yet as I even don't know whether those evil characters are here. Sometimes dangers are hidden in places that normal humans cannot see or perceive.
But somehow thinking about that makes me thrilled as I only saw them behind the screen of my PC in my past life, so seeing them in real life is thrilling, just if you excluded the possibility of me dying in the first meeting with anyone of them.
But thinking back at the way I talked with Kasumigoaka Utaha when I first saw her on the rooftop made me believe that there was something different with me. It was like I wasn't myself. My tone wasn't like usual, but slightly different, intrigued and bit apathetic as if she was an inferior creature compared to me.
That was the vibe I had when heard my voice back then, and thinking about it made me recall my dreams, those that I started to have after my parents' death, and that voice that I heard before I woke up this morning.
Yeah, that voice, If I tried to focus a little, my voice earlier seemed similar to it, not in the layer but in what it carried.
Just, what is happening with me?
"Hey!" Suddenly, I heard a voice coming from beside me snapping me out.
Looking beside me, I saw a pair of red eyes that seemed like beautiful rubies looking at me, filled with irritation and annoyance.
"Yes?" I said.
"I was calling you for a while but you didn't respond."
"Sorry, I was just... thinking about something that I didn't realize you were calling me." I said with an awkward smile.
"Nevermind, the lunch break has ended and it's time to go back to classes, you should finish and go back go your class too. I'm leaving." She said before standing up and walking out of the rooftop along with her empty lunch box.
I just watched her without saying another word until she disappeared from the rooftop.
"Haah, what a day! At least something different happened other that the same boring routine." I said to myself as I moved my sight to the endless blue sky above me. It made me think again about my dreams and the voice. Everything was so mysterious and vague like a thick fog hindering my eyes to see the truth.
Anyway, let's just leave it like that for now. Currently, we should head back to the class or the teacher would get angry at me.
And now that I think about, didn't I meet a teacher that looked so familiar?
....
The school ended and I walked back home like I always do. Today was free and didn't have any part-time job to do, so I could relax to my heart content.
Once I arrived at home, I opened the door and got inside, but just as I closed the door behind me and took my first steps into the house I felt a sudden tiredness taking over me. It was so sudden that I fell down on my knees, sweat sliding down on my face and my whole body out of the blue.
The world around me felt as if distorting, bending if you could say more. My head was hit with a powerful headache as if I was being hit by a baseball bat from the back.
I felt strength leaving my body and couldn't stay awake no matter how much I tried, my will wasn't doing anything for me at this point. If I closed my eyes right now, I would lose my connection to the world but no matter what, I couldn't keep them open, so after gruelling five minutes, I finally surrendered and closed them, falling into the depth of darkness.
Everything became black.
Two hours later...
I opened my eyes, slowly regaining my sight. I could see the wooden floor and the wall in front of me from this angle but didn't get up as I waited for my other senses to be back to me.
A minute later, I could move my body, albeit slowly, but with every movement, I felt a jolt of pain hitting my entire body as if I was hit by a truck.
"F-Fuck, w-wah h-happen to m-me?" I couldn't even speak properly. It seems my tongue is still numb, so I cannot speak properly yet, but... It makes me feel so powerless that a kid can kill me if he wants to.
And god I hate this feeling! SO MUCH!
"Huff...Huff...Huff..."
I was breathing heavily as I tried to move my body, even the simplest movements made my body scream in agony.
Just what happened?! Can anyone explain to me?
Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck FUCK!!
I hate this.
Even death is better that being in this kind of state. Did I get infected my something?
Or did I have a disease that was inactive and became active now?
Nothing is make sense!
I moved my fingers and slowly put them on the floor then, with force, I tried to pull myself forward, but the moment I did so, an incredible pain hit me hard.
"Aaaack!! F-F-Fuuuck!"
Drip! Drip!
Sweat dripped on the floor as I was sweating so much for the effort I was making trying to move my body an inch, it was like I was trying to move something so heavy but I couldn't do so as my body wasn't strong enough.
My brows furrowed and anger began to fill me, I was angry so much for me feeling this.
This feeling of being powerless is making me angry so much that I wanted to scream and destroy everything.
'Fuck this shit, I hate it you damn fucker. Whoever did this, I would make him suffer for eternity. FUUUUCK!!' I screamed inwardly as I couldn't yet speak properly.
But why did I think that someone did this to me?
Ignoring the pain and using the anger as a fuel, I tried pulling myself forward with all my strength, I crawled with both hands while looking forward like a furious beast want to devour its prey no matter the cost.
'Motherfucker!' I insulted while moving myself forward until I reached the living room which was few centimeters away from the entrance. But once I reached there, I lost all my strength and gave up for the pain as I reached my limit.
"Aaaagh! Shhhhhhhhhit!!" I screamed before suddenly something happened.
[...]
A black creepy virtual window appeared in front of my eyes, it was like those you could see in games or those system novels, but this one had a creepy vibe with its black color and spooky decorations.
I looked at it trying to read what was written.
