Kevin has worked his best to make the class monitor to agree with him. He exhausted a myriad of courting tips from the books. And finally on one pleasant afternoon, she agreed to be with.
He was so happy that he wanted to make a cartwheel. Although he knew that this relationship was destined to never last forever. He is determined to treat her well.
As he was happy enough to bounce in every step he makes, restrained himself as his work is not yet done. According to the affection meter his system has, the class monitor does not truly love her. At most she is just moved by his efforts and persistence.
So the next step of his plan was to be a perfect boyfriend to her. Or at least try to. He was reminded by his sisters' complaints about a perfect boyfriend material does not mean a suitable boyfriend. So he put his attention on that aspect too.
As he was happily in bliss of his first relationship, he did not notice the looming danger coming upon his way.
Kathrine was gloomy watching his blissful couple life in a distance. She was staring at them with anger and indescribable jealousy. The girl on the frame should be her. As the only pure and kind boy in this school, he is supposed to end up with her.
Fisting her hands with great force, she began to laugh crazily. Due to her location no one can see her craziness and changes. Anyone who sees her now will find their hairs stand up in fright.
She then began to plan for the moonless nights. Thinking for her nights where she will take her revenge and claim her prize. The devil who has made a deal with her has promised her that much. As long as she did well, that night when she took away his virginity will repeat.
And when that happens again, he will never think of anyone else other than her. Never would he need to forget the sin they indulge. And most of all, they will forever be each other's soulmates.
And yes, she will kill that bitch. Make out of the picture. Torment her for stealing what is hers. He can only be hers and no one else. Even if he went and looked for someone else.
As her thoughts got darker and darker, the black smoke came out from her spores and intimately surrounded her. Encouraging her to sink deeper to the path of no return. Tempting her to be utterly consumed by corruption and sin.
Kevin has no idea what will come to him during the moonless nights. He was busy romancing his girlfriend. And to say that he is quite surprised by this world's loose morality was an understatement. He never knew that girls can be so thirsty.
He first noticed this fact when he found himself often alone during the Friday nights. His dorm mates were often away to have fun times with girls then by the Saturday morning they then headed home. They proudly talk about their deeds like it was something to be proud of. This has been a cycle that repeats and repeats over the course of time.
And he did not expect that girls are also like this. The first Friday night he a girlfriend spent time in a hotel. And he found himself thinking that he is indeed not suitable in this place.
But he admitted that that episode was enjoyable. He did not know he could last so long in bed. So long that his girlfriend was so satisfied that she appointed their weekends will be spent by the two of them. Much to his amazement to himself.
But of course he was skeptical of this abnormality of his body. He asked his system to scan his body. And to his fright, there was something that the system detected but can't identify.
Since they cannot identify it, they just treat it like it did not exist. Continuing his days in raising his favorite girlfriend. Which was to his irony was quite easy as long as they rolled under the sheets. She quite likes him being rough.
Not that he is complaining though.
[Host I suggest you to be careful for the moonless nights.]
"No need to warn me about it." Kevin said as he made some crosses out of silver trinkets he could find during the week ends. "I am doubtful of this effectiveness, but better use anything available to defend myself."
In his blissful days with his girlfriend, he had a reality check when he took a look at the calendar. The moonless nights are coming. Kathrine's first kill after she demonetized will start tonight.
[Host devils are not afraid of crosses]
[They are not vampires]
[Nor are they werewolves]
"Don't be a killjoy." Kevin just shrugged his system. "Do you have anything to make me feel at least psychologically safe?"
[….]
[Sorry]
[I'm wrong]
[I will not comment about it again]
"Good." Kevin simply said as he instructed the system to look out for him. He does not want to be called crazy because of what he is doing.
He is currently in his dorm. Hiding some silvers and crosses all over the room for his use. And like his system has said, he also felt this preparation of his is quite useless. But this greatly comforted his mind from doing something crazier.
He did not know why his instincts had been too overdrive for a while now. It made him paranoid that there is someone following him all over. Watching his every move with predatory eyes.
Maybe his system has some psychological shadows of what happened back then. It was also more nervous than him even though it is still as mechanical as it was before. Nagging him all the time that he is turning crazy with how much it bothers him.
And when the moonless nights arrived, he and his system were scared enough that they locked themselves in the dorm room. Not the wisest choice, but he cannot leave the school for some reason. Every attempt he made just led him back to school. Trapping him with no other place to hide than his room.
He was even desperate enough to jump the school gates. Yet he still ended up going inside the school campus for some reason.
"System." Kevin called out as he clenched at the dagger he somehow smuggled inside the school. "Try no to be absent later okay? I am afraid of what will happen later."
[I will try]
That was the only thing his system said as the night slowly descended deeper.
Kevin was determined to not sleep. To keep awake to defend whatever that may attack him tonight. And even if he wanted to sleep. His tense nerves are not letting him.
To make him less tense and to distract himself, he talked with his system with random things. It was all nonsense and not related to his current situation. Making an illusion that everything is alright.
But everything is not all right. As soon as the clock struck ten, a scream was heard all over the dormitory building.
Kevin's first instinct was to hide. To Escape the upcoming horrors. But he is too scared to even move. He has imagined this scenario so many times. Planned his course of actions plenty of times. But in actual situations, his mind was blank.
All he could do was bury himself under the blankets like a child. Over the days he spent here, he learned to pray. And praying he did under the covers while grasping over the dagger he has.
And it might be his illusion or reality. Time was strangely slow. Everything seems to be eerily silent. The room temperature was dropping low that even he under the heavy blankets of his felt cold.
And all of a sudden a single footstep out of the great silence made him shiver in fear. It made him pale in nervousness of what may come tonight.
