CHAPTER-01 The Pain

"Pit-pat pit-pat pit-pat pit-pat.

For the first time, the rain feels so good, and look at me, I am covered in blood. My friend, my lover, and everyone around me are dying, yet I feel so much better. Why? Is this really me? Does this world really change me? Why? Why? Why am I finding pleasure in blood? Have I really changed? Why am I happy with killing people?

A Few Months Back

Beep-beep-beep... (alarm off) Yep, I'm good, really good. You might be wondering who I am and what my character is, but don't worry, it's as simple as a feather. I'm Jonas, 24 years old, leading a quietly happy life with my salary, my own house, and proud parents. Thinking about this makes me happy, and I love being alone and content. Honestly, I'm a bit, no, actually, quite lazy, and I constantly nag about things. I have two best friends who are more than enough for this lifetime. I thank God for everything.

Honestly, I'm very excited to go to the office because I finally have the courage to propose to Mary. Very happy, very happy. Today, the sun is shining brightly, and I think it will be a good day. With God's grace, I'm on my way to the office. While I'm on my way, I see a child walking in the middle of the road, and a truck is about to crash into them. Shivering. What's happening in the world? What am I doing? Why are my legs automatically moving towards the child? I set my mind that I am saving that child no matter what. By the time I reached her, I just pushed, and at that point of movement, I lost my senses. My body is not responding to any kind of simulation.

What's happening? Why is everyone surrounding me? Why is everyone looking at me? I don't feel anything, no pain. Why am I out of breath? Why does everyone look blurry? Am I really going to die today? Really? Why? Why? Whyyy?

THE POINT OF REALIZATION.

(Laughs) I'm really dying today. How bad that I'm dying without having my first kiss yet. Then, I'll take leave for good… shit.

(Blink)(Blink)(Blink)..

Slowly open my eyes, what in the world just happened? The immediate question that arises in my mind is where in the world I am. When I look at myself, I don't feel any sort of pain and nothing special, and I can move freely around. My body feels different, like it is lightweight. I am so much lightweight that I feel like I can jump into the sky.

(BEEEEEEEEP)

Yes, I remembered the last thing was I am saving a kid, and now I am here. Where am I actually? What's up with the air? The intensity in the air is giving me chills, cough, cough. My stomach is tight, and it's hard to breathe. This is completely different. Step, step, walking for a while, and then a man sees me. He looks completely different. What he's wearing – is that a vest? Yes, it's a blue vest, and he's carrying a beautiful sword that's actually glowing.

The urge to swing the sword – my hand is waiting to swing that sword. But in my entire life, I've never seen an actual sword, but this is different. They see me, but I don't care. My eyes, my mind – not listening to me, just watching that sword.

AT THE SNAP OF THE MOVEMENT...

Echoes – echoes of a strange sound (roaring) (roaring). Ha, what was that? My legs aren't moving. "Jonas, come in, get a grip over it, get a grip, come on." Those two are approaching me with some kind of look, but their presence is warm and comfy. My nasty feeling is out in a second, and they approach me. Those two look alike, but one is shorter, and another is taller. The taller person clears his throat and asks, "Who are you and where are you from?" But his voice is sweet. I'm about to answer that I'm Jonas, 25 years old. I recently met with an accident. I thought I was dying, but the moment I opp. Oppen. Ope nn... ooopeennn mmmmm. I can't. My heart feels strange; it feels trapped, like it's held by chains. If I say more, it feels like I might just break down completely. (Breath) (Breath) (Breath).

I ask them, "Where are we?" That answer, that movement, I decided.

"I came to another world."

Things have gone beyond me. I am hopeless. Different emotions are colliding in me. The taller man replies with a smile, "You are in oKaiwa. This is the year 213SP." Then I start beating the shit out of myself (sob) (sob), hoping I am dreaming. I slapped myself to wake up. Wake up... wake up... wake up. I wish I had spent more time with my family. They both hold my hands, and with a loud voice asking, "Why, kiddo? What's the problem? Why are you doing this to yourself?" I knew something was off but I didn't expect that I came across another world. Now, now what will happen? Am I dead in my previous world or did I just shift here like some kind of teleportation, or did I just come into this world just like that? Why? Why out of everyone in this world got this curse? I didn't even try to harm anyone in my entire life. I... I... (crying)(crying)(sobbing) I wanted just a small and happy life and family to live. Was it wrong? Then why? Why? I can't take anything more. I am slowly losing myself. (blur)(blue) I want... just a no... rmal... life. “Hey, Hey kiddo wake [Tap][Tap] hey wake up, I think he just fainted. What's wrong with this thing?" Jack said. "I think he lost his way home. For now, let's take him home and see what else he's got to say."
