Chapter 8 - Chapter 7 – An Email of Request

Roxas' POV

 Later at night, at 6:24 p.m., I was in my room cleaning up my email box on my laptop. The evening was quiet and nice. Then, after I deleted some junk emails, I stumbled upon a mysterious-looking email from someone called Anko Tachibana. Although I don't know who that person was, I read his email.

It says,

 "Dear random someone,

 Please, I need your help. I am not going to live any time soon. This game I was playing was going out of control. My friends, Kirito and his friends, are not what they are now. They're now chaotic and evil.

 Ugh…I had no time to continue writing this message. I had to go back to the game. So please, help me. Help me bring them back to their senses and also, defeat the Tower, too. SOS! Anyone?"

After that, I was stunned and surprised to read all that.

And so, I began to think about it and analyze its possible pros and cons, benefits and downsides, and dangers and wonders.

Then, out of kindness, I decided to accept it.

So, I wrote an email reply that says, "Yes, I hereby accepted your request. You can count on me. I'll do my best to help you and them.

 Your respondent,

 Roxas Nietes."

After writing that partially formal reply email, I pressed Sent, sending it literally.

And then, nothing happened, and no reply from that person was sent back to me.

Suddenly, a flash of light flashed before me, blinding me out.

 "Ah! My eyes!" I shouted as I covered my eyes with my hands.

"What in the…?"

 After a few seconds, the flashing light subsided, and I removed my hands from my eyes and opened my eyes, seeing that the screen of my laptop is now back to normal. At this point, I was confused by what that light was doing to me. I hypothesized that my laptop malfunctioned somehow, but I don't know how that happened at all.

 And then, as I stood up, the door in my room was opened, and Shuto came in. "Dude, what was that noise from last time?" Upon hearing that, I turned towards him. "Oh, hey there, what noise?"

 "That shouting."

Now I remembered that I was the one who made that noise, and so, I replied back, "Oh, yeah, that one…I did that."

 "Why?" Shuto responded back with some confusion.

 "I don't why, but I kinda acted on my memory," I replied with a lie.

Shuto was a bit suspicious of my response, but he buys it and said, "Okay then, don't be too loud, okay?"

 "Okay!"

 "By the way, dinner is about to be done. Come downstairs."

He then left my room.

 "Okay, I'll be there," I responded back, before looking at my laptop on my desk.

 "Yeah…I had no idea what was that…" my mind said to me.

I then went downstairs to present at the dining table early before dinner was done being cooked.

Third person POV

 Later, that night, while Roxas was sleeping peacefully on his bed in his dark room, at 10:27 p.m., a spirit went into the room, observing the young man sleeping. Then, without saying anything, that spirit of a young man went into Roxas, taking possession of his body.
