Today is another day.
I woke up today feeling like today is different... Just as usual. I arranged my bed and took a shower, brushed my teeth and combed my hair wearing my new uniform. I can already feel that this beginning is going to be bad. I blinked at the black eyes in the mirror that was placed on a handsome, aloof face, especially that scar at the eyebrow, giving it a more dangerous aura. I shook my head and prepared a breakfast of eggs and bacon then I made a sandwich. I walked the way to school passing through dark alleyways and on my way, dropped the sandwich on the empty paper plate and replaced the empty bottle in front of a very small shed made of old wood and rusty iron gates. I turned my head in time to see the dust-grey blanket posing as a window closing back and the sound of light footsteps.
I ignored it and walked to the building that had my school logo and entered the first class I saw the most people heading to and leisurely sat at the back observing the classroom mindlessly until I spotted a handsome guy looking at his front with a serious expression. Hmm, found him already. The door was slammed open the next moment and a female teacher walked in with dry blood on her clothes and an lovestruck expression. It's started already.
*************************************************
Xu Ling blinked his eyes in disbelief at the shiny red screen infront of him. It didn't end there because his homeroom teacher according to this body walked in covered in blood. It all started when he went out for some drinks with his friends but since he was the allocated driver he didn't even have a beer but what do you know, he was run over while trying to drag his friends into the car by the other drunk one who was planning to drive himself alone. Next thing he knows, he's waking up in the body of a teenager with a new family and friends. The problem isn't from the family or the fact that he's now a teenager, no it's from the world itself. This world was like his previous one; Earth but the major difference is that the people inside have a high rate of becoming insane like they can just wake up one morning and snap. I have spent a month here without any incidence thinking that I might have a peaceful life until today when a red screen suddenly appeared saying evil energy detected. Xu Ling knew he had no time to waste so he focused on the bloody teacher infront of him.
"Sit down you brats let me tell you a story" she said slamming her hands on the nearest table breaking it in half. Everyone jumped and stared at her blankly before trying to shout but no words came out and they began to sob. 'the situation doesn't look favorable ' Xu Ling thought realizing he took can't speak.
"There was once a woman who was in love with a love so pure that she dare not confess. She hid it deep inside because she thought she could keep it inside and stay by his side. Years passed by and the man realized his love for the girl and they started dating. They were both in bliss and were about to get married but the woman thought that she wasn't enough for him because he said so. She lost weight, changed her hair and changed her essence but he still said she wasn't good enough. She realized the truth that she's worthless and doesn't deserve him and that's why she never told him all those years ago. But don't worry death makes all of us equal and they ended up happily together in the ground. The end." She said her voice smooth and cheerful like she just won the lottery. Everyone was already in mass hysteria going crazy the more she spoke.

Xu Ling ignored her bantering and tried to use his system as he would call, it for help and it showed:
Name: Xu Ling
Age: 16
Energy: 0/50
Strength: 10
Stamina: 10
Agility: 10
Health: 20
Skill: None
Items: A bracelet blessed with holy energy ( time left:5 minutes), beginner gift pack.
Xu Ling immediately opened the gift pack and found two papers appeared along with a steel blade in his storage.
Demon Sealing talisman: it keeps a low level evil entity in place for five minutes
Release talisman: when placed on an object or person. It release then from an abnormality status for 5 minutes.
Steel blade: it is a weapon of the mind that is used to destroy the entity in the body without harming the host of such entity.
This reward is quite generous but also suspicious like someone knew this was going to happen so they prepared the perfect tools. It seems they aren't giving me any choice in the matter. He silently activated the release talisman as he too was starting to get a headache but sat frozen in my seat waiting for the right time.
*********************************************
I watched the entire thing from the entrance of the teacher to the guy named Xu Ling focus infront of him muttering a few times. He's being quite obvious but no one seems to notice. I can't blame them considering they look like they want to bash their heads, eyes bloodshot. I stood up with my hands in my pocket and stepped out of the class using the back door. I walk round the school amazed that no one noticed anything strange. I inspected everywhere before walking to the roof where I notice two figures approaching of a man and a woman. It seems like there isn't an unexpected variable this time and this protagonist seems more cautious than the last guy. I wonder how long he'll last, I think walking home.
