Chapter 1 - Prologue: The Good Or The Bad?

Hi, My name is Hishiro Sato

I'm a 21 year old Japanese Citizen who is currently looking for a job.

It's been 2 years since i've graduated from college.

I want to be a doctor but looks like that isn't coming to fruition for now.

For you in this year of 2019.

I cannot find a job that will accept me.

You can think of me as an average guy willing to learn something if it's needed.

I've been borrowing money from my mom sometimes but one day I know she's going to tell me that I need to find a job as soon as possible as she can't keep giving her son, who can have a job, money all day.

I can't disagree with her if she ever says that.

She has all the right to say that.

But it's been two years and my life still hasn't gotten any better.

I'm still poor, I have no job, I can't be happy…

I really wanted to become successful but… life is just giving me the stress I don't deserve.

I sometimes think of suicide as it's the only way to escape this horrible situation I am in.

I don't wanna do it, but deep inside of me, I know myself will give up and probably do it.

That's probably the scariest thing I've ever thinked of.

I just pray that someone will help me. Anyone really. As long as it makes me happy and makes me successful in the future.

I just hope.

Story:

Hishiro is walking back to his apartment that her sister owns.

He is lucky enough to have a sister generous enough to give her own brother somewhere to live while he looks for a job.

But unfortunately today, he didn't get accepted in any jobs he has applied to today.

"Another disappointing day…"

He says to himself as he looks up at the sky, wondering if there's anyone who will help him deal with this problem he's in right now, but he has doubts about the prayers and the things people believe in.

One time, in elementary, Hishiros friends believed that there's a ghost that follows children around to make sure they are safe, it got to the point where a whole school of children believed in it.

But they were lectured, and told that there's no such thing.

It was good times, but for Hishiro, he believes in spirits and he doesn't.

He isn't taking sides really.

He's in his own path.

A figure crawls out of the bush and looks at Hishiro walking alone.

It plans to approach him, but it decides to wait until he is alone and vulnerable.

It crawls back to where it came from.

Another figure appeared looking down upon him from the skies.

The figure cries seeing this man's sadness, fear and struggles throughout his life.

That figure then decides to hide from the public and plans to approach him when there's no one that could see the figure other than him.

Hishiro feels like he's being watched.

He doesn't know if he's being watched all this time or someone just started following him.

He looks like a broke man and he doesn't seem to have a lot of expensive things with him, so he's probably not getting robbed.

No one robs a man who doesn't look like he didn't shower for days.

Just to make sure, he turns around.

"Hey! I'm rich! Feel free to rob me! I don't care! I can probably take your knife wound or whatever!"

He screams out to nobody as he waits for someone to kill him or approach him.

Nothing.

"It must've been the wind."

He thought, as he continues to walk but turns around again, but no one is seen.

He is now certain no one is following him as he walks to the apartment.

The figure from the bushes saw that bright light and it immediately went hostile as it crawl fast to Hishiros apartment.

The figure who has her holy divinity around her, saw the figure in the bushes and immediately rushed to Hishiros apartment as he's now in danger from that creature it saw.

Hishiro arrived back at the apartment only to see her sister in the front, probably waiting for him.

"Ah, brother, you're back. This took longer than yesterday, you got lucky?"

Her sister asks as he sadly shakes his head.

"Uhm… no sister… No luck… I'm sorry for disappointing you… please forgive me for taking too long."

He bows to her, asking for her forgiveness that he took long.

The sister sighs as he gives an envelope to him.

Curious he takes it.

"What is this?"

He asks.

His sister Shrugs.

"I don't know. Read it. It's for you. It's probably a job."

Her sister fixes her purse as she pats her brother's shoulder when she went pass him.

"I'm going to visit my boyfriend, goodluck brother, I hope to see you soon later."

He waves goodbye to her as he looks at the letter.

He thinks about this, it doesn't look like from a company, it doesn't look like a job offering.

.

.

.

.

.

.

He doesn't know who sent it.

How did her sister even know it was for him…?

Hishiro just sighs and keeps the letter shut.

He will read it later when he's in the mood.

He takes out his keys as he's going to his apartment door.

He looks at his apartment door when he's infront of it now.

"Something doesn't feel right."

He says to himself, feeling this strange aura that is inside that room….

He's almost too afraid to open it, but he's not a little girl who's afraid of ducklings when it approaches.

He bravely puts in the key inside the keyhole.

Turns it and opens it immediately.

He is quick to look around, but nothing seems to be happening. It's just his normal apartment.

He relaxes himself knowing the fact something didn't just jump on him.

He is glad something didn't jump on him.

He gets inside and closes the door but he didn't lock it just yet.

"Hello?"

He says to the unknown.

"I felt your weird feelings here.

Are you here?"

He asks the unknown but no one seems to be responding.

He takes a step, and another, as he continues to walk to his main room or his living room.

Everything is untouched, so no robber got in here.

"You… can kill me if you want."

He bravely says it outloud.

Then out of nowhere someone grabbed him on his right shoulder.

His eyes widened as he looked to his right shoulder and saw a hand grabbing his shoulder, and its nails are long and creepy.

He feels a breath on his right.

It then whispers to him.

"Are you… ready to have another chance?"

It goes on to touch his chin.

This whisper slowly turns into a woman's voice, a seducing one.

"You poor boy, you have no one to go to when you're in these situations do you…?"

The lady voice asks.

"I-I-

Hishiro stutters as he tries to answer, the voice giggles, hearing him stutters is cute to her.

"Well then- boy. I'm here, and I will be your gui-

Someone went pass through the wall and the room suddenly is filled with light, which hurt Hishiros own eyes.

Then someone from his left grabbed his left shoulder and his left arm.

"P-please do not be deceived by that vile demon! It is tricking you to turn to a bad side of life! It is wrong to follow a bad spirit! Please listen to me instead!"

Hishiro, once he sees the light is slowly fading he looks to his left.

!

He sees an angel, a very concerned angel. She seems to be really warning him about something.

But from his right, a weird looking woman with horns appeared in sight for Hishiro to see too.

"I see. Another angel bitch who is trying to steal this man from me. Do you think your pitiful advice can even help this struggling poor young individual…?"

The demon asks the angel as the angel is stuttering, really trying her best not to make Hishiro turn to the dark side.

The Angel:

"W-well! It can! By the name of God! I will not let you turn this man to hell!"

The Demon:

"Oh really, well I have gone first! By the looks of things he is already convinced.

There's no use for useless and disgusting angels."

The angel is losing to this argument, but she doesn't give up.

Hishiro on the other hand doesn't know what's going on.

He doesn't know who these two things or actually, spirits are.

He thinks he passed out and is dreaming about this thing.

Dreams or not. He doesn't seem to be interested right now.

The Demon:

"Well! You are convinced! Right then, boy??"

The Angel:

"No no! Please don't! Please don't fall for this evil spirits tricks! It will haunt you forever!"

Hishiro screams out.

"Oh my god! Both of you, please I am kindly asking and at the same time, could you both fucking stop talking! I'm already stressed enough! Don't make me burst like a balloon!!"

His head heated up, he decided to go to the bathroom.

He's going to wash his face.

..

.

The demon looks to the angel.

"This is your fault actually."

.

.

"How can it be my fault when I'm trying to prevent him from falling to your devious tricks! I know who you work for and he is a disgrace! He tortures people for the sake of his own entertainment!"

The angel replies.

The demon just rolls her eyes as she follows Hishiro in the bathroom.

"D-don't you dare touch him or do anything to him!"

The angel says as she too goes to Hishiro.

Well this is where chapter 1 ends. 

Hope it is nice.

New chapter coming soon.
