-Location unknown-

-POV unknown-

I was currently staring at my would be death, in the shape of a man's fist. 'No, not a man but a demon'- I thought.

As the fist moved closer towards my head intending to crush it. That would be gruesome sight, hope that doesn't traumatize him.

'I always thought I would have a normal death. From an accident or some disease or from old age, but I was not given that opportunity. I just had to be abnormal'- I thought and slowly my surroundings changed, I felt my life flash before my eyes...

Then I started remembering the reason for my to-be death though I do not blame him, he is my hero after all. The name of the hero is Ram...Ram Adrusta.

"Nooooo! "- The person in question shouted, probably trying his hardest to reach me and perhaps save me, even. But, alas, he was too far away. Such was life after all, full of disappointment.

Though, I hope to, before my end, see the joyful times I spent with my hero. Perhaps that would bring me a joyful death. I wanted die for him. So I would though, this might not be what I was looking for. Still, I can accept it.

[Before I met him, I had always harbourd suspicion towards Ram... ]

['Cuz I've never saw him open a book but he always scored more marks than a bookworm like... Well me.]

[That might not sound like I lot to you but it meant the world to me, after all the only thing I'm good at is studies.]

[At that time, I had grown to hate him. Though, now I realize that, hate was too strong of a word, as I mostly disliked him due to my envious nature.]

[Oh, I guess I never introduce myself... My name is jannu jumpaati. My likes are Ram and books-mostly history. Dislikes, well... Ram and the guy that's about to kill me, obviously.]

[If wanna understand what's happening right, now. You must start from the beginning.]

[Well, let me start from the beginning... I'm not normally into being grand... But these might just be the last few seconds of my life. So... Let me tell you

The tale of the shadow king - Ram Adrusta.

Flashback

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

-India-Hyderabad-

-Jannu's POV-

I was currently staring at Ram as he flirted with a random girl in class, that I never bothered to learn the name of. But, even through that unfamiliarity, I still felt anger. I didn't know, or even tried to know, the reason.

Because whenever I tried to find it, I would just end up with a headache. I, many times, tried to understand the reason behind that anger. Thus, I usually stare at him, though I was unnoticed.

But, today I was staring at him for a different reason. I have been wondering, how has he always scored more than me?

It's been three months since he joined this high school, and we had written term exams just 2 weeks ago. And he got 100 percent in the whole thing. 'That annoyed me, so today I'm gonna confront him and ask him for assistance. '- I thought.

Though that would have to wait as the teacher has arrived.

"Good morning, sonitha mam."- The students greeted her in unison while standing up.

" Morning, y'all! "- The teacher greeted back seemingly in a good mood.

And te day passed with little activity after that, as I was mostly asleep. I had given a good excuse, everyone believed me. And the students also knew that I had no reason to listen the class. As I was ah ad of the syllabus by a few chapters. 'I'm smart after all. '- I thought.

I woke up for lunch, but promptly fell asleep again. And the next I woke up to find Ram messing around with board. I opened my eyes wide to see clearly while wiping them before-hand. I saw that he and I were the only one's in class. And that he was searching BTS, that music-band was disband two decades ago

(Note:sorry if ur BTS fan).

'Though I care little for his taste in music. I still know that leo-barna is the best music-band in existence. '- I thought.

That debate could wait for now. First, I have to get his attention - "Ram! "

He turned, while simultaneously closing the window, looking exactly like a thief caught in action. When he saw who called him, namely me, he blinked and sighed. He then responded with a blush of embarrassment.

"Oh, it's you, jannu! I thought it was the teacher that caught me using the board. Fortunately, it's you or I probably would have been punished. "-Ram scratched his cheak.

Ram is like a boy gifted by Gods. He is stands at the top in any activity he does, sports, indoor activities - like chess and caroom - and even art. He is intellectual, smart - one should be able to tell from his scores - and from what I've heard, funny as well.

Standing at an astonishing 6'3 feet, which is quite tall for an Indian, he has sharp features and perfectly angular jawline. He has piercing peach coloured eyes that seem to show divinity. And his hair was combed back loosely allowing same strands fall front on to his forehead.

'But not someone to care for looks. So, I'm not falling prey to his devilishly handsomeness. I'm gonna be the predator that looks down on him. '- I brought a hair a stood on it and looked, now a foot taller than him, down on him.

" I need an answer to something that's been bugging me for a while, now. "- I said in the most intimidating way possible for me, but to no avail as it came out a little higher pitch than intended.

He didn't intervene thought letting me continue. As he started up at me with a calm expression.

" How do you always score more than me? I mean it could be beginner's luck but I'm not sure after you scored the same in all subjects. So, enlighten me. "- I stared blankly at him.

" Simple, just understand it. "- He smiled.

Wha- what the heck does that mean?!? Obviously, I couldn't say that out loud I had an image to uphold, after all.

" It seems you don't understand what I said. But you didn't ask a question so you don't get it. But if you asked a question you would. So, it's simple just ask 'bout anything you don't get and expand that tenfolds. This can help you present different perspectives in the exam. And also answer some tricky sum's. "- He smiled trying his hardest to make me understand.

And I did understand but I don't get it, either. Because I ask doubts as well, what's the difference.

" The difference is the fact that you didn't ask me the doubt you had in your mind while would question that as well. "- He smiled with a knowing glint on his face.

'Wait-what did he just read my expression. So he can do that, but I always keep my expression blank. How?.. '- I thought, agitated.

" This is gonna be take a while, huh? "- He sighed.

" Huh?! "- I didn't understand. But the main fact was- How can he keep this conversation going by himself?!?!

" I don't get it. Teach me? "- I finally said, thoughtful.

" You finally said it. Of course I'll help, who am I to refuse a beautiful lady such as your self. "- He grinned brilliantly.

" Hump- of course. Nobody could ever refuse main self. "- I said? 'Did I really just say that- no it must be her! '- I reasoned.

'Oh, no I didn't do anything. It's all you, babe'- She said through our connection.

Ram grinned, this time wider than before, expressing his joy over her response. And he then he brought his hand up to Pat my head. And even though I could make him stop I didn't. I let him Pat me on the head.

'Oh, I'm doing that. 'Cuz we're both enjoying, hehe'- she answered.

I then puffed my cheeks in anger. And proceeded to slap that hand away, after regaining control.

"Heh, Cutie. "- He smirked with a glow on his face.

I puffed my cheeks even more. And then got down from the chair, now returning to my normal height of 5'7, and started retreated out of the class.

" Oh, before you go take you're screen. "- He showed my screen which I to took instantly after. And stared at him asking him for an answer.

" No, ask it out loud. Only then I'll answer. "- He frowned.

" Why did you take it? "- I was calmer than just few seconds ago, I couldn't understand how.

" It has my number in it. Call me sometime, heh! "- he flashed a grin nodding with approval.

" Never! "- I ran away from the class with a faint blush on my face.

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

-Ram POV-

"Hehe, she's soo cute. "- I said aloud.

'That she is! Kakahahaaha! '- A loud scawky voice said in my mind.

" How asked you, dumbass! "- Though I was still smiling.

'Say are gonna mate with her! '- The voice asked uncaring for the insult.

" What, your disgusting, Row! "- I shouted at him.

'That's note disgusting it's a natural phenomenon that helps life continue. Kaka hahah! '-The now named Row countered.

" Stop laughing, man. It's giving me a headache! "- I insulted again.

And then we continued arguing all the way home. And let me tell you how I met him.

Flashback [in a Flashback]

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

Ram could be seen sleeping in his room. But then suddenly he shot out of his bed. While getting on guard.

"Who's that?!? Show yourself?! "- He shouted, hoping for somebody to hear him. Though useless as there was nobody home that night.

The reason behind his shouts was the fact that he heard a voice seemingly in his brain.

" Bro, you don't need to react like that, man. I'm friendly. "- The voice said from inside...his head?

" Okay, I'm calm. Now who are you and how the heck are you in my freaking head?!? "- I was not calm at all.

-----------------------------------------------The End

That's how we met. And that was exactly 3 months ago. And from then I discovered that he was a demon beast that resided in his body because of a special bloodline my body possessed.

Though I still didn't believe him, cause for me he was just a voice in my head. I had goon to a psychologist after the incident, without informing my parents of course. That would freak out. But even the phycologist declared that I was fine.

Thus, I was left with no options but to talk to him. And slowly we became friends after these last 3 months. But I still didn't believe his story, even through my trust. Which is something I'm normally a person who believes anything. Though that changed recently.

And just to mention, I slowly saw changes in my body after 'Row's incident'. Row just told me that was due to the bloodline my body possessed. I then started believing him on the bloodline part, the rest was left aside.

That's about Row. Now, to the changes my body experienced. It suddenly grew stronger, I still didn't test it's limits though. I was faster. I got the chance to test that one. Well, guess what I was faster than bike going 100km/h. That's super human.

With this I thought I could finally work towards my goal of 'AN IDEAL WORLD'. But row humbled me, though. As he mentioned nukes and other bombs.

But he also mentioned that they would be nothing for me after a few years. But as you can guess...i didn't believe him.

And I had good reason for not believing him because surviving nukes is humanly impossible.

"But, so is running faster than bikes. "- He replied.

" Just, shut up, man. As I told you we humans can't survive nukes. "- I shouted at him, again.

" Well, humans can't. But you can. In the future. "
