Authors note: I was messing around with the story in my draft and published it without meaning too. At first, I didn't think it was a big deal and focused on trying to fix some of the flaws in my writing, thinking that no one would bother with reading a story with one chapter. I was sorely mistaken, To all those who read the chapter when I accidentally published it. I'm sorry, I know the writing was terrible and there was an entire section of the story I didn't write at the time. I promise that was not intentional. With that finally out of the way please enjoy
Kuoh Town could be best described as Ordinary, Not to say the town was boring or unknown, but the fact that Kuoh Town is not close to any popular tourist attractions or major cities causes the town to be easily overlooked. The only note-worthy thing about Kouh is the well-known formerly all-girls school Kuoh Academy. But despite all these setbacks, Kuoh is slowly but surely growing in size every year. With the arrival of young couples in search of a peaceful place to start a family or elderly folk looking for a nice place to spend their twilight years. It's safe to say that everyone in Kuoh town is living their best lives.
Everyone except One perverted boob-loving boy who is currently out for a walk.
POV: Issei Hyoudou
As I walked down the same street I take for school I can't help but Mutter my frustration out loud.
"Why the hell did both Matsuda and Motohama have to get caught peeping on the kendo club "
I wasn't mad about the fact that they were peeping without me.....
Ok, that's a lie I'm a little mad. But who can blame me I WANTED TO SEE SOME NAKED KENDO GIRLS TOO DAMN IT!!
As I cry what I would have called manly tears I get weird looks from the people around me, But who cares what they think. They are all fools who don't understand the Glory that is Boobs.
But no the real reason Im upset with both of them, is that when they were caught by the kendo club they got their ass handed to them. That in itself isn't all that surprising after all we get caught peeping a lot so we get our fair share of beatdowns by the females of our school. But I guess that day the kendo club felt particularly sadistic and sent both Matsuda and Motohama to the hospital.
Luckily the school paid for the hospital bills to keep their parents quiet, Otherwise they might have tried to sue. But with our constant harassment of our female colleagues, even I know it wouldn't be good if the issue went to court. Say what you want about Kuoh Academy but they have an Amazing legal team.
"Of course, both of those idiots just had to go get their asses stuck in the hospital, Now who in the hell am I going to watch Kamen Rider Pinky with"
As much as I love to watch hot girls play Kamen Rider, And jump around in skin-tight clothing just as much as the next guy, I just can't bring myself to watch it without them. I know both Mastuda and Motohama were excited to see it. And what kind of friend would I be if I watched it without them!
Also watching straight-up porn by yourself all the time Gets kinda depressing after a while.
Well, it doesn't matter much now. I only went on this stupid walk so I could get out of the house for a little bit.
Mom keeps telling me about getting my act together and finding a girlfriend. And Dad's trying to get me to find a job so I can stop wasting my time with what he calls "Your stupid porn books ".
Which is Downright Heresy, Those stupid porn Books as he calls them are my true loves, and I would never let ANYTHING happen to them.
"Well, no point in holding it off any longer might as well head back "
If I slack off any more my teachers are going to call my parents, I can't let that happen or mom might throw all my books out into the trash.
That's a fate worse than death, and something I will never allow. Just as I turn around to head home I notice something strange
"Where am I?"
I looked around me and couldn't spot any street signs or buildings that I recognized. I looked up at the sky and saw the sunset, I had been walking for what felt like minutes. I began to worry a bit, I only wanted to go in the general direction of the school and come back. I guess I took a few too many turns when thinking about my Treasures.
I took a closer look at the buildings around me and noticed that most of them looked worn down. The paint on multiple buildings in the area is starting to chip and some even have broken windows, On the sidewalk there are weeds as tall as my knees and trash thrown around the place.
I'm starting to think I may have walked to a separate town entirely. I've lived in Kuoh my entire life and while it may not be packed with people like some of the major cities, that does not mean there are empty streets all over the place. On top of that theirs no way a growing place like Kuoh would have so many abandoned buildings.
It would make more sense to either tear down the buildings or fix them up.
Annoyed at the fact Mom was probably going to scold me for staying out so late, I began to mutter to myself
"Oh well what the town decides to do with these creepy ass buildings a'int my problem"
As I begin to walk back, I try to spot any familiar-looking landmarks, like an arcade or maybe a shop I've visited with Mastuda and Motohama in the past. Sadly, not all plans work out the way I want them to. If that were the case, I would be the harem king already and have hot chicks swooning over me and fighting for my attention.
Alas, reality is a stuck-up bitch who loves to destroy my perfect dreams. She also made it her mission to see to it that I never make it out of this maze of buildings. The worst part is the more I walked the worse the building started to look.
Now I may not be the bravest of guys around, But if someone were lost in a sea of creepy abandoned buildings with not a single person in sight they would begin to feel uneasy.
"ok, this is starting to give me the creeps "
As my pang of worry began to grow I voiced out my frustrations
" IS IT TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR A HOT, PREFERABLY SINGLE MIDDLE AGE WOMAN WITH A SEXY VOICE, TO HELP ME!!"
As I screamed out to the dark and cold buildings the only thing that answered back was the sound of the wind passing through. Sighing to myself I calmed down and started walking again.
I stopped keeping track of how long I've been here, Mainly because I never kept track in the first place, I've thought about screaming for help, but since nobody came to me the first time I quickly gave up on that idea.
I just kept walking aimlessly, I figured at some point I'd walk into someone. But sadly considering that I'm still looking at old buildings that looked like they came straight out of an old horror novel, I was not holding out much hope.
sighing to myself for what felt like the thousandth time today, I took one last look around before I started my screaming contest with the empty air for the second time.
Thankfully Just as my throat was about to release what could only be described as the wailing of a madman, I noticed something white in the corner of my eye.
Quickly thinking about where I was, and the fact that no one else was around to hear me scream. I immediately thought of the only rational thing I could think of.
There was definitely a ghost floating there, and I'm gonna die.
Not wanting to die both a coward and a virgin, I quickly turn to face the white object. Only to be stunned by what I saw
What stood in front of me was a small public library. The library part wasn't that unusual, Matter of fact I'm pretty sure the library back at the academy is bigger than this. No the part that made me want to cry tears of joy was the fact that the library didn't look abandoned. The thing looked brand new.
The library itself was square-like in shape. With what looked like a fresh coat of what I could only describe as the brightest white I'd ever seen.
It stood out since all the other buildings in the area were dark greys or reds. Some are even made of bricks.
The front of the library had two large windows that opened up the place and allowed me to easily see inside. On the door lay a sign that read "OPEN"
Without any further hesitation, I rush to the door. However just as my hand goes to grab the handle a thought crosses my mind.
"Wait could this be considered trespassing, I know the sign says open but it doesn't take a genius to realize all these buildings are abandoned, "
Taking a second to think wouldn't hurt if the result of my actions meant jail time. And if that happened I would be surrounded all day by old sweaty men, And that is a hell I wouldn't even wish on my worst enemy.
Well, that's a lie, I would probably wish it upon that pretty boy Kiba. All the girls fawn all over him like love-struck puppies, and I'm totally not jealous.
I shake my head to push past that quick bit of anger to those born with good looks and grab the door handle and twist.
The sound of the door opening was like church bells to my ears. Once I opened the door my nose was assaulted by the smell of old book pages.
While I may not have read a lot of books that didn't involve sexy ladies in tight clothing.
Preferably taking off those clothing as well, I have read enough to be at least familiar with the smell.
Sadly my good mood didn't last long. Since the sun was settling and it was starting to get dark, even with the two large windows in the front, the place wasn't that well-lit. Making it harder to see in the back.
"There is no way I'm staying in an abandoned library with no lights, Even if it looks brand new"
My mind quickly flashed through all the horror movies I've seen that have creepy libraries. When my thoughts abruptly came to a halt.
"Why don't I just use my phone to light up the place "
I paused for a second to think about what I had just said.
"Wait my phone. I could use my phone to call Dad to pick me up"
I don't know why I hadn't thought of it sooner. My hands flew down to my pockets with the speed of newfound hope, hoping that I could go to sleep tonight on my nice soft bed.
Sadly it seemed like today wasn't going my way, As my hand reached inside my pocket I had expected to be greeted by my trusty flip phone, Instead my hand grabbed at the open air.
"eh"
Ok, this is fine, let's assess the situation, I'm lost in what could only be described as an endless sea of abandoned buildings. With no one around and finally, to top all of that off I lost my fucking phone.
"You know what at this point I'm not even mad anymore "
Sucking up my mix of disappointment and annoyance, I Navigate my way around the library. I had realized something when I saw it for the first time but the fact became all the more clear when I came in.
"The library is empty"
Not empty like there was nothing inside since there were rows and rows of bookshelves lined with books. No, I meant empty as in there was no one here, I looked around the front for a few seconds and even tried calling for someone hoping they were just on their smoke break.
But no one came out. I started to panic once again.
Realizing that panicking would only worsen my situation I took some deep breaths to try to calm myself down. Once I felt like I wouldn't freak out I decided to Distract myself.
" Maybe I could find a porno mag somewhere in here "
Trying and somewhat succeeding to fill my mind with perverted thoughts I begin to explore the back of the Library.
"Now if I was some old librarian where would I hide my stash of porn"
Just as I was about to turn the corner my foot caught on something, causing me to trip face-first into the cold hard wooden floor. Picking myself up I turn around with some annoyance to find what tripped me, Only to find a singular book on the ground exactly where my foot had been.
"I tripped over a book, Who even leaves these things on the ground,"
I may not be a bookworm like some of the other students. But that doesn't mean I don't have the decency to pick it up.
Sighing to myself I stand up, grabbing the book, and try to put it back on a shelf.
But once my hand touched the book my left arm began to ache, At one point I could've sworn I heard a Faint roar coming from somewhere. After a few seconds, the ache stopped like it hadn't been there at all. I decided to ignore it chalking it up to growing pains.
Just as I was about to put the book back on the shelf, something about it caught my eye.
Despite how the book looked it didn't feel like leather or cloth, it felt like an old worn-out notebook the type I would've used at school. The cover was a dark green, So dark that it was closer to black than green.
Along the sides of the book, red lines formed unique patterns stretching from the bottom to the top. They almost looked like engravings.
These features added character to the book like it was trying to tell you its story without words. But the most eye-catching piece of the book was the Title.
"The World's Greatest Hero "
My hand traced the letters. They were bright yellow and looked as if they wanted to jump off the page, And it felt like if someone were to say them the only way to pronounce them would be to shout them with all your heart.
"World's Greatest Hero, Is this some type of fantasy novel "
I sighed in defeat
"It's not like I was going to find anything more my style. So might as well read this since I already picked it up "
The cover looked cool so it's good enough for me. I head back to the front of the library and take a seat near the window, I look outside to see that the moon is beginning to cast some light into the place. Hopefully, it's just enough for me to be able to read.
Since it's settled that I'm sleeping here tonight mite as well entertain myself with this book.
I shuffle a little bit to get comfortable, or at least as comfortable as one can get on hardwood floors, and crack the book open.
Before I could even read the first word of the book my eyes were attacked by a Blinding white light.
