2019 AD, Earth,
It's a beautiful day outside. A warm, fresh morning awaits anyone who walks out the house. Though still 8 a.m., people in the Berkulo district are already outside, walking around, enjoying the clear sky.
But not all humans in this district likes the morning.
Meet Hisato, our friend who sleeps late and wakes up late.
*KRRRRIIIIIIIING!!*
As the alarm went off at exactly 8 o' clock.
"Oh god.... what day is it?"
Hisato went out of the bed and walked over to the table in the other corner of the room. He picked up the calendar and looked at the date.
Then a few seconds later he realized,
"Damn it... Lemme check my phone."
Hisato picked his phone up and turned it on.
*BZZZZZZT*
It vibrated as it turned on.
As he looked at the phone, his face went from an expressionless face to a frown.
"How crap of a day is this?"
"Sunday", it said on the phone.
"Brother! You awake yet?!"
A girl can be heard from downstairs, shouting.
"Ahh crap its Akira.."
"If you are buy me some ice cream! Choco flavor!"
Daily schedule: get my imouto some ice cream, and play some games for the whole day
He thought.
He wore his clothes and walked down the stairs. We walked towards the door and opened it.
"Okay I'll buy you some of those things. Guard the house!"
Hisato said to his sister as he closed the front door of the house. Though lazy, Hisato loves the nature. Therefore, he planted some plants in pots near the windows. They really freshen the air in the morning
He looked at the street and saw girl. It was his neighbor and friend, Niko. She was smiling while walking down the road holding a water bottle. Hisato walked up to the cheerful girl and greeted her with non other than the flat tone of laziness.
"yoooooooo... good morning..."
"Mornin'!"
It's her. She is literally the happiest girl in the neighbourhood. She never frowns and is always emphatic towards others. On the other hand, I'm the person who rarely smiles and I don't feel strong emotions.
He thought
It was true though. At school, as a girl of all happiness, she had never frowned. She befriended everyone in the class, no one left behind. But Hisato though, he is kind of picky. He does befriend a lot of boys, but he prefers to talk with girls. His reason was "Boys are toxic, they trash talk a lot.", even though he is also a boy.
"Look, I'm bored. Can we go somewhere? Maybe the park?"
"Oh yeah sure! I'm fine with that."
The two started walking together. But Hisato and Niko seems to be walking at different speeds. After just a few seconds, Hisato was left behind.
"Dude, why are you so slow? Can't you walk properly?"
"I really don't want to do that right now.... I literally just.....**Yawn**....woke up"
Niko looked at Hisato and gave him big smile.
Oh God... she's smiling.
"Come on! don't be lazy!"
Niko grabbed Hisato's left hand and pulled him. She pulled him all the way to the park.
"You know, there are people looking at us weird. Stop dragging me you idiot!"
But Niko just ignores him. She kept pulling him not aware of the embarrassment that is clearly around her.
So the couple arrived at the park shortly after. Another coincidence happened. Riku, their classmate, was also in the park.
"Yo whats up guys? Whatcha guys doin'?"
"Oh hey there, Riku! We were just walking around."
Before Riku saw Niko, he was showing a meh face. But as Niko answered, Riku's heart literally jumped. Riku loves Niko, although he is too shy to admit it.
"H-hello there.... N-Niko.."
Hisato walked over to Riku. He whispered something to Riku's ears.
"Oooh.. you seem to be nervous around her. What's up with that?"
Clearly he knew that Riku loved Niko. If someone saw Riku talking like that with that face, then it's totally obvious. Besides, he stuttered.
"Uhh-um... I.. That's...."
"Just confess and say the truth."
Riku's face turned as red as a tomato. In rage, he accidentally hit Hisato in the stomach with a solid fist.
"OUCH! Why the heck did you do that??"
"OOOPS! SORRY IT WAS AN ACCIDENT."
The tone of 'Accident' in Riku's statement makes the impression of 'OH I DID THAT ON PURPOSE'. Anyways, even though Hisato never smiles, he is still nice, so he didn't fight back. Niko laughed at them both.
"You guys are really like brothers."
After the very weird introduction, they all sat down on a free bench and talked about some random things. They started with the topic of dogs and somehow it evolved to fantasy.
"Speaking about fantasy, what do you guys want to do in a fantasy world?"
Niko then continued with:
"I think i would be a witch. A nice non-mischievous witch that helps the hero of the story in his or her task."
"WELL I RIKU WILL BE A HERO OF MAGIC. I'm that hero who uses magic to kill things."
"Believe it or not, I want to be a girl."
Riku and Niko were both confused. They knew Hisato likes to talk with girls but they didn't think he wants to be a girl.
"Dude, are you trans or something?"
"No, I'm serious. I'll be the girl who holds a scythe that does good things for humanity. I want to be that loli who saves the world. You know those things they do in animes where they power up by shouting right?"
"...Yeah..."
"Well in a fantasy world, I wanna do the power up thing but without shouting."
Niko and Riku was totally amazed by Hisato's answer. Immediately after Hisato finished the conversation turned to an akward silence. No one said anything for like 5 minutes.
Did I ruin the conversation? I just said I wanna be a girl that holds a scythe. Was that too weird?
After 5 minutes, Niko started another conversation. Despite the previous conversation, the talked together until 5 o'clock.
"It seems late, I better be going home now. Akira might be worried about me."
"Can we go to your house then?"
"Yeah sure"
So the trio walked to Hisato's house.
Wait... what the heck? isn't that where my house is? Why is there fire? AKIRA!!
Hisato quickly ran to the house block. On the way, they saw a blazing flame. Indeed Hisato's house was on fire. Hisato saw a person running to him. It was Akira.
"Oh my goodness I thought you also got burned."
"Our house is literally on fire brother!"
"Yes... I can see that"
Riku, Niko, Hisato, and Akira all ran to Riku's house. The flame already burned it.
"Oh crap! Dude where are we gonna go now??!!"
"Hisato! you take the lead!"
Oh shit, I'm leading them? Uhh... how about uhh..
Before Hisato finished his sentence, an earthquake suddenly occurred. The ground shook very hard. Therefore, all the houses and buildings broke down. Hisato suddenly came up with an idea.
"Let's go to the bunker! I know one very close from here!"
The others agreed and now they are in the journey to the bunker They saw buildings collapsing in the distance. They ran for 2 minutes before arriving. But after arriving, the collapsed building scraps covered the bunker entrance. Other people were there too, worried about their survival.
"SHIT! WHAT DO WE DO NOW??"
For the first time in Hisato's life, he saw Niko crying.
"I don't wanna die...."
But a yell from the distance was heard. A man yelled at the survivors.
"Guys! Come here!"
Hisato squinted his eyes and saw a thing.
Is that.. a portal? Portals? Do they even exist? But I see a portal behind that man.
"Let's go there!"
Hisato and the other survivors ran to the man. The man pointed at the glowing portal thing. Clearly this wasn't part of the earthquake. This doesn't even look like a scientific wormhole.
Hisato had the greatest idea of jumping into the portal. And so he did, along with the other survivors.
What is this? Where are we? This is.... beautiful!
They were located in a green grassy plains biome filled with creatures the have never before seen. Clearly, they are in another world. Just as they were appreciating the scenery, they suddenly a loud roar.
A monster with sharp fangs came out of the forest. It was brown with green stripes. It looks like a sabertooth tiger, a giant sabertooth tiger. The tiger charged towards the survivors and one by one it ate them. The survivors all panicked. Some escaped and some died.
Hisato grouped up with Akira, Riku, and Niko and tried to run away from the area. The monster looked at the group with a menacing look. Blood in its mouth was visible from the outside. It charged at them. They tried to run from the tiger but they were too slow. Hisato realized this and therefore thought about it.
He came to the consclusion.
Damn it!!! If its the only way the others will escape then....
Hisato turned back and ran towards the tiger.
"Wh- Hisato! What are you doing?"
"You guys run! I'll distract it!"
The tiger attacked Hisato, but he slided down and evaded the attack. The others were running away. But Riku suddenly stood still.
"Why did it come to this? What even happened? What did we do wrong?"
"Riku! we must go now!"
Riku thought about the consequences for a second.
He turned back and ran towards the tiger. He joined Hisato in distracting the tiger.
"Riku! What are you doing? I told you to run!"
"I can't... I can't live while knowing the fact that you might die! Either we live together or we die together!"
"You idiot! I gave you the chance to run and now you're wasting it?"
The tiger stabbed Hisato in the chest using its claws. He coughed up blood soon after. The tiger was just about to finish him. It lauched its claws at Hisato.
Riku suddenly appeared in front of Hisato and took the stab. Riku dropped to the ground beside Hisato.
"You idiot.... You should've just ran!"
"At least you didn't die alone!"
Hisato started crying, Riku followed a few seconds later. Hisato said his last words.
"Akira... don't die out there."
"Niko.... I hope you become a nice person.... I love you..."
They both died at the same time together. Their bodies soulless.
But since they are the only ones from the group that dies for other people, this brought some attention to the Creators of Worlds.
[We seem to have a bit of a problem here...]
[No doubt.]
