It's dark. I can't see anything, but dark. Every direction I look are darkness. The whole place is filled with darkness. Not even a single light is visible. Where is this?

"Ayato..."

Who is it? Someone was calling my name. I look around, only to found no one is around me.

"Ayato..."

There is it again. Where are they?

"Ayato... Wake up...!"

Huh? My name was called over and over, and the voice got louder and louder.

"Ayato...! Wake up...! Wake up...!"

I saw a little light above me. It became brighter causing me to cover my eyes from it.

"Ayato! Hey!"

I slowly opened my eyes and there I saw a face of a brown ponytail-hair girl wearing a school uniform with her clear jade eyes staring towards me. From those eyes, I can tell that she was very worried about me.

"Hmmm?... Aria-san? What happened?" I asked the girl, who woke me up.

"'What happen?' You slept the whole afternoon class. Everyone already left."

"Oh."

She's right, everyone had already left and the room has no people except for the two of us. I yawned and strech out my arms in the air.

"Let's go home already."

"Right." Following Aria-san, who went out the classroom, I stood up on my desk.

I took my back and walked out from the classroom.

While walking at the school grounds, I noticed many students are walking around the campus, which is supposedly be at there home already. They're the students that went home very late while roam around the campus. Some of them are staying for there clubs, some are staying to study either in a quiet place in the school grounds or in the library, and some some are staying with their lovers flirting with each other in the school grounds. Do they need to show there affection to each other? Sigh, kids this day.

If your asking what club am I part of. None. I'm not into those kind of things. I can join the kendo Club, Arnis Club or the Karate Club, because I am good in martial arts, unfortunately I have no intention to do so. You could say, I am a member of Go Home Club, though.

My name is Mizushima Ayato, a fourteen-years-old high school student. I'm a half-Filipino and half-Japanese. It's obvious, but my father is a Japanese while my mother is a Filipino.

I am living a peaceful life with my family. My mother works as a fashion designer while my father works as a businessman.

This girl at my side is Mochizuki Aria-san, she's my childhood friend. Like me, she's half-filipino and half-japanese. Many had confess there feelings to her beaut, intelligence and most of all her popularity at our class, but no one suceed to hear the answer "Yes". Even the most popular boys in our class had confess to her, but it was useless. According to the rumours, she liked someone, who she had known since her childhood. I was wondering on who was it because of my curiosity.

I could just ask her directly, but prying deeper into it is out of the question.

She was also bullied when we were kids and I always defend her from those bullys, but that stop when we were high school.

Our mothers had known each other since there high school days. You can say, they were childhood friends and best friends.

We met each other when I was still six years old. How do I describe our first meeting? Well, it was like this:

(FLASHBACK)

"Ayato~!" A women, who is in her twenties, called her child.

"coming ~"

A little boy descended from there stairs, who's age is about six. He has a straight black hair and dark brown eyes.

"Come here." The women told him, who is standing at there door. She was talking to someone outside. The little boy named Ayato went into his mother's direction.

"Ayato, this is Aria. This is her mother, Klara, she is my best friend since high school and also my childhood friend. They will be our new neighbors." Ayato's mother introduce to him the two visitors.

The little boy observed them from the head to feet.

The women, who was introduced as his mother's best friend and at the same time her childhood friend, Klara looks to be in her twenties. She has a long brown hair that reach until her waist. She also had different eye colours; Green in her left eye while in her right was Blue. She is wearing casual clothes.

The little girl, who was introduced as Klara's daughter, was hiding behind her mother. She appears to be a shy kid. She also had the same age as Ayato. She has a brown ponytailed hair and a pair of green eyes like a Jade stone. She has the same height as Ayato. She was wearing plain pink dress. 'She appears to be shy. I want to be friends with her', thought Ayato.

"Hi~ I'm Mizushima Ayato, 6 years old. I hopping we could be friends." Ayato energetically introduce himself to the girl who's name is Aria. Since he was the only son and doesn't have any playmates in there house, spending his time to read books, he likes to have her as his friend.

The little boy was expecting that the little girl will introduce herself as well, but that didn't happen. The girl completely hide herself at her mother's back. 'Not good', Ayato said to himself.

"Aria. Go introduce yourself back." Aria's mother, Klara, told her. Aria look at her mother and her mother just nodded to her. The little girl then again, look at Ayato's direction. 'He doesn't appear to be a bad boy', said Aria to herself.

The girl went out at her mother's back.

"I-i'm Mochizuki, Aria." Aria nervously introduce herself.

"Yosh. You two, play first upstairs. I will just have a chat with Aria's mother."

"Hai! Let's go, Aria-san!"

Ayato pulled Aria, to go to his room and play with her. They played hide and seek, and also talk some things about themselves to know more about each other.

(End of flashback)

And that's how we first met and became friends.

"Ayato, what's your plan for tomorrow?" Aria-san asked me while walking at the side of the road.

"Tomorrow is Saturday... I think I will just stay at home and read books or go to the market, if ever my parents ask me to."

"Is that so." Aria said in a disappointing tone. Why is she disappointed?

"If only you can come with me at the mall." She said in a low voice.

"What did you say?"

"Eh? Ah! Nothing! It's nothing, I didn't say anything." She denied. What was that?

"A-anyway, I need to go first. I-i still have assignments to make. B-bye-bye."

She waved her hands and bid farewell. She then, crossed the road very fast. Weird.

I also started to cross the road as I was walking, but I noticed something strange on the road. There is a black car, speeding. He lost his balance. It goes to where Aria is, who crossing the street. This is bad! The car is going to hit her anytime soon!

Without a second thought I ran into her and push her to the side. It seemed the world began to slow motion. Is this it? Is this how I die?

While having those thoughts, the car hitted me with a strong impact. My whole body flied into the air, because of the great impact. I landed on the road, and crimson liquids flows out in my whole body. My whole body is in pain. I-i can't m-move.

"Ayato!"

I saw a figure of a girl with tears in her jade eyes ran towards my direction and went beside me.

"Ayato! Please stay with me!"

"A-aria-san.."

I can't say her name properly. My vison has gotten blurred. I can't move my body, because of the pain in my whole body.

"F-Forgive m-me..."

"Ayato! Please don't say that! Hang in there!"

The tears in her eyes continued to flow. I don't want her to be sad. I reached my hands to hers, but my hands won't move. Ugh! It hurts!

"P-please don't... c-cry, A-aria-san."

"Ayato..."

I smiled for the last time.

"Goodbye..."

I said those last words as I close my eyes. Ugh. my eyes feels so heavy. I lost my consciousness afterwards.

----------------------------------------------------------------

"...Where am I?" I wondered. As I see the white sealing of a room.

I'll look around. When I woke up I was here, in a room that had no windows, there was a round table in the middle of the wood, there was also a sofa in front of me and where I was sitting, and a cabinet next to many books and wood. The door is also made of wood and the wall is pure white.

I thought at first I was on the hospital but I didn't smell any antiseptic. This is not in the hospital.

"Just where is this?" I asked myself. I am suppose to be dead by now.

"Sorry for the wait, Mizushima Ayato."

A old man with a long white beard and a cane on this hands entered the room. Who is he?

"Oh, sorry for my late introduction, Ayato. I am Lotus the god of everything also known as the gods of gods."

He must have read what's on my mind, but wait. Gods of god? Which means there are other gods, right?

"If you said you are the God of gods, then that means there are other gods besides you, right?" I asked curiously. He nodded.

"Your right. We had the God of Darkness, God of Swords, God of Love and other gods."

So there are really other gods, huh?

"So what you going to do to me? what am I gonna do? Did I do something wrong? Where is this? Wh-"

"Okay, okay. One question at a time. I cannot answer every one of your questions in one answer. First, you are here in 'Heaven'. Second, you have done nothing wrong. And finally, I will reincarnate you. "Lotus-sama replied.

"Eh?"

Did I misheard it? He will reincarnate me? Like those isekai in the Mangas?

"Reincarnate? You can do that?" I asked.

"Yes, I'm a god so it is possible, but I must not return to where you came from. I will reincarnate you in the world of magic, the call of this world is 'Stregasus'. Is that okay with you?" Lotus-sama explained.

"Magic? Your reincarnating me to the world with actual magic?" I asked him with enthusiasm. He nodded. Cool!

"I see. I understand."

"Woah! A straight answer?"

"Yeah, I am grateful that you will resurrect me and I will live again, but... Why the world of magic?" I asked in a polite way.

He can just resurrect me into my original world or in another world that is advanced in technology.

"Hmmm... I can't resurrect you into your original world because we have rules here. I also can't resurrect you to other world since this decision was made by the other gods, not me." He explained. I see. The other gods decision, huh?

"Okay, I understood."

"You seemed to have no complaints about the matter."

"I respect the decision of you, gods, so I can't complain about it. Also isn't it exciting that I can use magic and learn more about that world?"

"You have a kind heart." Lotus-sama complimented.

"Also I have a request for you, Ayato." Lotus-sama said. "The reason for resurrecting you on that world is that we want you to use your knowledge from your previous world, Earth. To make some entertainment and develop the civilization of this world."

"Develop the civilization?"

"Yes, You see. This world has a do not have much development and I want you, who hold the knowledge from Earth, to improve its civilization."

Which means they don't have a refrigerator or something alike. But were talking into a world magic which is very exciting.

"Understood."

I accepted his request. I am talking to a god, you know? And his not just any god. He is the God of gods.

"So are ready to go to the new world you will live on?"

"Yes."

"If so, come here at my front and let's start to reincarnate you to that world."

I stood up and walked to the front of Lotus-sama.

"Kneel down." I kneeled. He put his palm on my head at sinabing.

"Mizushima, Ayato. I, Lotus, God of gods, will give you an extra power on your physical strength, magic power, and I also boost your memory and knowledge as well as your states so that you cannot die easily. I resurrect you on this world called 'Stregasus'. I also authorized you, to use your knowledge on Earth. I bless you."

Pakatapos nyang sabihin yon. My eyes felt heavy, that I want to sleep. Everything turns black as I lost consciousness and close my eyes.
