Looking out the window a black haired boy said
"yet another boring day"
A group of boys sitting around started to laugh and one of them said
"Did you hear that, the boss is at it again it seems its time to hunt for prey"
"I wonder who its gonna be this time that little shit John didn't come in today"
"He must still be feeling my punches from yesterday"
Listening to the conversation from the boys one could easily tell we are bullies. Am the leader of this bunch of delinquents who go around causing trouble in the school.This is our last year and our indiscipline has reached a new peak.
"Maybe we should pick up some girls on our way back here"
"What do you think boss fun right"
Fun, that's what is missing. They keep doing the same thing at least twice a week.
"Yeah lets do it"
"Did you hear that boys "
"hahahaha"
Suddenly someone enter the classroom which caused the boys to quiet down. One would think it was a teacher but no it's a student and not just any student, their favourite prey. A grey haired weak looking boy
One of the boy stood up walked to to him
"Man Jack can't hold it any more"
"Must have hurt his ego after praising his punch so much"
Before John could even sit down a hand was put around his neck startling him then jake's voice whispered in his ear
"Look who we have here"
"J-J-Ja-aakke"
"Oh look who is excited to see me too, I see your all healed up"
Just as the other boys started to crowd around, a female voice called out
"If your guys want to cause trouble do it outside, your making everyone uncomfortable"
Jack turned to the pretty girl on the left with a frown while John let out a sigh, It seems he would survive today
Jack then turned back to me wanting my opinion
"Let's take it to the roof if that's ok with you Olivia"
John's face sunk after hearing this. Jake shaved pushed him to the door
"Didn't you hear that the boss said to the roof"
The others followed behind laughing, I got up from my chair while my classmates murmured among themselves
"poor guy his always being bullied"
"I guess his lucky this is our last yeah"
"It's already amazing he made it this far"
"I bet he sees Damian in his nightmares"
To be honest i don't care what people think of me. All they do is just talk, everything in school is boring but there is still one thing that i love.
Standing at the door i stopped and looked back, then all the murmuring paused.
'This is it. The looks of fear they direct at me'
It makes me feel like they are all in my hand, a feeling of control like no other. A grin appeared on my once bored face. I continued to the stairs leading to the rooftop door
When i was going to open the door i heard a scream behind it which shocked me a little but i came down when i had the panicking voices of my guys.
Opening the door i was greeted by confused looks from the seven guys
"What's going on here"
Jake spoke out in an anxious tone
"We don't know boss, we didn't even touch the guy he just suddenly held his head and screamed then collapsed"
The other also seemed to be panicking
"Don't tell me his dead"
I looked at the collapsed John, seeing he had no beat marks or should i say any new beat marks.I knelt down and put my finger on his nose
"His still breathing"
The relief could be seen on Jake and the other guys faces
"That bastard how dare he give me a heart attack like that"
"We should beat him up"
I let out a sigh
"sigh"
"Just how dense can you be if you hit him now, he could actually die"
"Boss should we take him to the infirmary"
"No, since you didn't beat him up he will wake up eventually"
"So what should we do"
"Just leave i'll handle it"
"But boss w..."
I gave him a piercing gaze. They lowered their heads and walked out.
"I wonder what i should do now"
I walked away from John and leaned on the other side of the side of the rooftop hidden by the door.
Looking up in the sky i wished something interesting would happen. Maybe the heavens heard my call and answered me.
John who was on the ground suddenly started saying
"Where am i. The dungeon , where are the party members"
I was a little bit speechless
'Did he hit hurt his head when he fell'
I decided not to peek out and just listen maybe i will have a good laugh after this
John seems to have picked himself together and started to analyse the surrounding
"Isn't this the school i used to go to before the system descended.Yeah Roland killed the others and then sacrificed my to some weird hourglass artifact that we found in the dungeon. He said something about him getting a second change before it absorbed my body"
"This means hahahahahaha i have returned to before the descent hahahahahaha but if i returned the Roland must have come as well"
Hearing him go on about some apocalypse i somehow felt bad for him. All these years of bullying must have cause some brain damage to him.
I decided to keep listening
"Today is the 31st of March 2025. I need to hurry i only have one day to prepare. I remember i used to carry around a note book with me, yeah here it is. The descent was hell but there were many opportunities. The strong ruled the weak after during those times."
John wrote while murmuring different things. Despite him calling it an apocalypse, from the things he said it seems society didn't completely collapse but merely changed to fit the ongoing trend.From what it seems he wasn't even among the strong in his own imagination.
I wanted to reveal myself but the things he said became even more interesting
"One of the rankers once said they awoke their initiate abilities two days before the descent and he wasn't he only one..."
"Too bad i don't have an initiate ability i would have tried it but its not too bad initiate abilities were only great in the first period of the descent since latter on skills appeared and could grow faster, only initiate abilities with unique effects became relevant.
"In the academy only 3 people had these abilities. Ms. Sandra the school nurse, Kevin that my friend and ... who was it again yeah Damien"
For a moment i stopped breathing, not because he said my name but because that bastard forgot me in his damn imagination
'It seems i have to beat him up to remind him whose the boss'
I was about to reveal myself when he said
"hahahaha i find it funny the person i feared the most in my childhood died to one of his men"
This stopped me in my tracks, actually before i didn't care about everything he said but now am curious
"He had a buffing ability that strengthened his people but he died to the same people before a few days after the descent hahahahaha a fitting end for a prick like him"
"Let's start planning for now"
John scribled things in his notebook and spoke out his plans and after 30 minutes the last bell rung.I had him stand and run down the stairs probably wants to prepare for the so called descent.
I walked to the edge of the rooftop and a few moments later i saw John dash to the gate. I don't want to believe it but the weirdness in John story is to clear to be an imagination.
I reached in my pocket and took out my phone to check for any weird news and the first thing i saw was
[Man spotted flying over his house]
A strange feeling came over me and i smile covered my face
"Things are getting fun now"
