Each day passes, Stella's worries grow more and more.

Simply because the so-fated day was around the corner, and that day was tomorrow.

She insists on playing games together with me, going to some shopping center together with me, and sightseeing together for the past 2 days, leaving me with no choice but to say 'sure'.

"Hey," Stella called out, glancing over at me.

"Yeah?" I responded while all my focus was still locked in the game.

"What are you playing right now?"

"Competitive FPS," I said, while my fingers were flying over the keyboard.

"Even though you know tomorrow will be the last day?" She asked, leaning against the door frame.

"Exactly, that's why I want to enjoy it as much as I can, as long as it lasts"

"Weirdo," She teased.

"You're weird too," I shot her back, finally glancing at her.

"No, I'm not," She protested.

"Then, why are you swimming in my side of the bed, full of my clothes?" I pointed out.

"Errrrr….." She muttered, caught off guard.

Yeah, she insisted on keeping me by her side all the time, except for toilet and shower breaks.

But, I had enough of it.

The day, April 14th, had finally arrived, but to my surprise, nothing actually happened even after 12 o'clock at noon.

I decided to take a breather and go outside.

"Where do you wanna go, Rinka?" she asked, concerned in her voice. "You know today is the day, right?"

"Indeed," I acknowledged, putting on my jacket.

"Then…" She stuttered, a bit of fear was swallowing her words.

"Just going outside for a bit, don't worry about it," I reassured her.

"No," she said firmly.

"Why not? It's my own life. It won't affect you, at all," I argued, stepping towards the door.

"It definitely will," she insisted, her eyes locked on mine. "It's your fault that I become like this.."

"I'll go to that one rooftop of a mall," I said, trying to ease her worries.

Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.

"The one you said 'the view here is beautiful, ain't it'...I think?"

"Come back quickly, I'll be waiting." she said softly.

"I will." as I stepping out the door.

========================================

And thus, I venture outside the mansion, where the hustle and bustle of the city they always produce.

Worker going to their work, salesman trying to sell things, taxi driver driving on those hectic traffic.

Everything of these, these things that were very organized, from the bottom to the top, was ruled by the power of wealth.

These will be gone in an instant.

I got into the lift that was going to the rooftop floor.

Everything is so surreal. It was as if I could take all these buildings with both of my palms.

The humans walking, and the vehicles driving in the road, look really tiny as if just a mere touch of my toe would destroy them.

Yeah, it finally came to an end.

The sky, clear blue sky, filled with the whites of clouds.

Now, showing the color of a red, the color of bloods, and a slash, from an unknown realm, slashed the sky to the point that it looked as if the sky itself was bleeding.

Yeah something is wrong.

Why, just why nobody was moving, nor noticed about these changes?

Am I finally crazy?

I ran, straight to the lift, that was luckily about to go down.

"WAIT!"

I shouted, to make the one already inside, to keep the door open.

"Huff. Huff."

"Erm…you okay?"

"I am alright, but…"

"Calm down, okay? ...It'll definitely be fine."

"No, it won't."

The strangers inside of the lift looked at me as if they were watching a wild animal.

Cough Cough.

"My apologies."

Relaxing lift background-sounds.

"So…is anything wrong?"

"It was…just my loved ones."

"That sounds rough, I hope they are fine!"

"thanks."

Weirdly nice person. Well, thanks to his quick movement to tap the 'open door' button, I could get down quickly.

"Thank you, good stranger."

The moment I could get out of the lift, I tried to contact Kaku.

I kept running, moving as fast as I could.

Everything seems to move really slow when I accelerate my speed.

Is it because the training, or the outworldly things have already been here?

At last, I arrived at the retail store for motorcycle producers.

"I want this one." I pointed to a random bike.

"Contact this guy, I need to go really quick." As I handed Kaku's business card.

"I'm sorry sir, we can't do that."

"Then, get your manager, this is really urgent."

Why are they so slow doing these when they could get big bucks from it?

"Mr. Kaku?"

"The real one?"

"Yes. Get me the bank number, so I could quickly pay the price of the bike that young lad was about to take."

"Erm…but the legal-"

"No need. I'll pay your quadruple the price, do it quickly."

"Aye sir!"

He smiles really wide…what the heck did Kaku say there?

"It's fine now, right?"

"Thank you for your patronage! Come back again, esteemed customer!"

People work faster the more money you pour…huh.

Anyway, for some reason, the whole road was really open.

Well, not really, I still need to overtake one or two cars, but yeah full on gas.

The more I wander my mind, the more stupid it becomes.

A lake emerged from nowhere, with fish-like teeth covering all Its sides.

Turned down trees, flying land of mass...without any cares about Newton's rules…

And I finally arrived at Kaku's place.

But, when I look back at the road, it was all normal.

Someone was waving from inside.

"Sir Rinka! This way!"

As I approached the mansion staff, for some reason my vision blacked out.

The lake now became a reality, consuming anything that got into it.

The area where trees got turned down corrupting every plant in its vicinity.

Buildings flying all over the sky, truly fit the name of skyscrapers.

"Huff…Huff…"

The attendant seemed to be scared of something, hurrying me.

"Are you alright? We need to hurry!"

What did I just see?

"What the heck was that?" I muttered, unconciously.
