Volume 1 Chp 0 : Prologue

Another boring day at school, at least today is not all that bad as I'm able to relax my time when most of the students would swim while I won't and instead hang out at the roof top and enjoy the breezy air.

Though that is something I wanted but right now I was sitting on my chair and in front of me where I laid down is my typical old desk which I doodled a lot on.

The teacher was yapping a lot about Maths which didn't make me interested at all as his voice was filled with monotone while having eyes compared to any person who doesn't look like they enjoy what they're doing.

I was playing around with my pencil as I wrap duck tape around it due to how cool it would look covered in black.

Though I can't peacefully work on it, and what might be the reason you asked?, well some of this jerks behind me were throwing small pieces of rubber on my head while teasing at the same time.

I really didn't care about their child like foolish ways to relieve their boredom, and even if I did, what can I do with this scrawny body of mine.

Though I'm already at my third year high-school while being so close to receive freedom from this rotten school.

There was not one bit that I enjoyed in this place ever since I was small.

If you were like me, who has no friends, no ability to make friends, having no sort of athletic sense, zero capability with concentrating on studies and especially having hard time to even say a word to a girl then you might end up like the same person I'm currently am.

What's that?, you can change the way I'm living if you were in my place?

Well good for you, do you need a medal with those prideful thoughts of yours?

Just think about it, there was at least one person that you can talk to in your life while for me there was no one at all.

But if there was just a slight chance that you would be similar to me... then I can just say one thing and that is good luck with your life.

I feel like my foolishness was getting the better of me as I'm talking to myself much more than usual...

When I looked around the class, I noticed that everyone was looking at me and at that moment I knew that I was mumbling some of my words out loud which caused an awkward silent to happen until the class breaks into laughter towards me.

This classmates of mine were having looks that disgusts me as they laugh while making fun on how I spoke by imitating my voice...

You would think that the normal thing to do at this condition was to either stay silent, leave the class or try to laugh with the class at yourself.

But for me, I did something that's not normally done by anyone and that consist of me asking a question towards the teacher which made everyone confused as to why I'm asking a question if I'm basically the temporary laughing stock of the class.

Not only was the class surprised, but the teacher was too.

The teacher hesitated, then answered my question which afterwards he asked everyone to flip the page on their text books so that they can actually see the question I asked.

It was perfect what I did, as not only did everyone stopped laughing at me, they started minding their own cranny business of theirs.

Well class was over and so I left the room and started to make my way to the rooftop as it was recess time after I placed my books, single duck taped pencil and the actual duck tape under my desk on a safe secured place.

The atmosphere was the typical high school one which involved of having students playing soccer on hallways, girls gossiping about something while bundling in group and especially that typical scenario where a guy tries to get closer to a girl in hopes to get her affection while pretending that his not nervous.

I might sound like those arrogant life hating emos but in thoughts only, as I'm actually not the same person due to how the perspective of people consist of me being looked like a normal high school student who jokes around a lot while smiling much more than anyone.

If you thought my appearance was something different then guess again as I basically have the most common hair and eye color in the world and that is black.

As I was walking through the corridor of the second floor inside the school, I could hear the tunes played from obviously the music class which was utterly atrocious.

in my thoughts, I was thinking on how the stairs that lead upwards were really the most place I walked through as I went up and end before the rooftop door.

No student would waste their time coming here as it's strictly restricted to employees, which in good senses I think you already know that it won't stop me from entering the place.

Though I could have sworn that I am being followed or something but didn't care much about that.

There was something strange about this place than usual, as if the smell was similar to the scent of blood...

I had an urge where I should not open the door but I just brushed that though off as it might just because of the headache I received during the class nuisance hitting me hard.

When I opened the door, the first thing I saw on the floor with the sharp color of blood everywhere was one of my female teachers that I ironically hated the most who is dead in front of my eyes...

My mind went blank, my heartbeat raised dramatically high and I didn't know what to do, I panicked and looked closer to the dead body while trying to not fall from the taste of anxiety.

The teachers eyes were showing signs of tears while being opened widely, her clothes has been ripped apart while showing parts that implied of her getting raped.

It was something that didn't just gave me fear which happen to coarse through my whole body.

I wanted to back off and ran away as far as possible but when I turned, I noticed that I was not alone as there was a teacher that I don't know much off, who was having an expression of being freaked out while yelling out loudly for people to come.

He then panicked and pushed me which caused my body to fall down due to it being scrawny on the ground while my uniform gets stained from the blood splashing on it.

There was something sharp on my hand which made me look at it and when I did, it was a kitchen knife.

My hands was trembling as I grasp the knife loosely while looking around noticing that mostly everyone at school was looking at me with fear in their eyes while backing away from me as if I was some kind of monster.

I tried standing up and telling them that they are mistaken while I drop the knife to the ground.

The eyes I was giving was similar to anyone who wants to clear up a guilt which is hard to prove.

Everyone just backed away as two teachers came running towards and binded me which caused great pain on my arms.

I tried resisting while telling them that they are wrong and I'm innocent but they won't listen as my eyes gets more lifeless the more I try struggling.

Eventually I gave up and before I could knew it, one of the teacher punched my face which made me... unconscious.

But before I could close my eyes completely, I noticed that grin of the teacher who brought everyones attention...

When I waked up again, there was this awful buzz in my head which was really annoying but eventually stopped.

I looked around my surroundings and noticed that I'm in some sort of room, and from the looks of the place, it might be on the police department... as I noticed that the door of the room was showing the logo of the local station for police.

There was a lamp hanging from the roof on top of a white desk with a chair to the exact opposite I'm facing.

My hands have been binded by a hand cuff which are chained to the chair I am sitting on, while I try moving my hands to get out but it was futile.

I could stand, but I think that it would be useless as I don't know what to do in this solitary room.

The door opened which was exactly beside a glass window that cannot be seen through but maybe they can see me instead.

A man on around his 40's entered while wearing a formal black suit.

He was smoking a cigarette while having a short well trimmed hair cut which was colored black with some strands of white hair.

Though he was giving me an awful vibe as if he was looking at me like some sort of vermin.

He then sat on the chair while reaching out his left pocket to show me a card which that he is with the police department and being a investigator at the same time.

I looked closely and saw his name being Cline Rediver which was beside his photo that represent his younger days.

Cline then made a short stare on my face while showing his daunting hazel eyes looking into mine which made me have a feeling that he is staring straight into my soul.

He then removed the cigarette from his mouth and blew smoke while giving a sigh at the same time.

There was nothing in my thoughts and I didn't have anything to say while just staring at his right hand which was rapidly tapping the table.

The man then told me while having a voice filled with laziness.

"So you killed a teacher?, while also raping her at the same time?, quite the accomplishment for someone with your build." - Cline

My eyes were showing lifeless remorse while I remember on what happened before I was sent here and then I told Cline

"I didn't do it and that might not be enough to prove my false guilt but you got to believe me!" - Me

Cline then placed both of his legs on top of the desk while over lapping it together and then told me as he stares onto his cigarette.

"That's what they all say, and even if you didn't do it, do you have proof Mr.Grey Ashton" - Cline

"Of course I don't have at all proof!" - Me

He then throws his cigarette away and then properly sits down but this time got a little closer to me.

Cline then looked in my eyes which showed him fear and anxiety as to why am I at this place then he says

"Tell me then, as to why were you on the murder scene alone while being at a place where it strictly forbids students. You wielding the weapon that is used for the murder and don't forget that your clothes were covered in blood." - Cline

Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

I was going to speak until he interrupted me and then said

"Well even if you had a clear logical reason, who do you think would back you up to support your proclamation?" - Cline

He gave time for me to think as Cline took out a photo from his pocket and was staring at it with eyes clearly stating his sadness then placed it back after he saw me and then he said

"Your real parents seems to be divorced, and now you are living with your uncle while being the only sibling at the same time, so far your uncle agreed that you might be the suspect" - Cline

Why would he say that.. and then I remembered that my uncle really hated me due to an event which happened long time ago but I didn't expect for him to actually have gone that far to accuse his own nephew that I am the criminal?!

There was nothing for me to talk except hear out on what he is going to say more but it doesn't mean that I stayed still while being calm, the anger of my uncle dissing me was so large that I might commit murder if I see him again.

"Another witness also mentioned that you were the suspect as he saw you grabbing a kitchen knife and heading to the roof" - Cline

When he said that I stood up and was filled with rage as I never did such thing which then I shouted to Cline

"THAT'S A COMPLETE SET UP AND NO WAY IN HELL WOULD I DO THAT!" - Me

He then pulled out a gun and pointed it at me which brought fear to my body and then I heard him telling me

"Calm down and sit or else." - Cline

I did what he asked and then I noticed that he placed his gun back inside his jacket.

He then pulled out a box of cigarette and shook one out while placing it in his mouth, afterwards he used a lighter to ignite the cigarette.

Cline then told me after having to blow of smoke from his mouth

"Your classmates say that you hated that teacher you killed." - Cline

"I admit that I hated that teacher, but I wouldn't kill her even though she was a slut that only focuses on those idiotic jerks on the class" - Me

Cline then waves his hand back and forth while raising it which made me curious as to what is he doing until I heard the door being opened forcefully and three guards with guns came in while being clothed with military vests accompanied with their masked face and helmet.

They then came towards me and used their guns to nudge while asking me to move out of the room by using the door.

I then asked Cline while shouting

"What is going to happen to me?!" - Me

He then looked at me and replied while having a grin

"We are in need of your kind the most right now and thankfully that no one needs you which made it easier for us to fake your death to the public by saying that you committed suicide by the time I entered the interrogation room as you jabbed your head on the edge of the table repeatedly. " - Cline

As I enter out of the room, he then continued his words by saying while I try struggle but still is futile.

"It is a shame that someone as young as you is going to end up in a place where hell looks much more cleaner than there. Not only will you live the life of being our prideful dog but also someone that will love the drugs that will be tested with your body" - Cline

His smile was making me furious while also being astonished as to how he managed to fool me with his normal personality from before.

I couldn't speak anything as my mouth was strapped with a cloth by one of the soldier like individuals but it didn't stop my eyes from showing hate and anger which made one of the individual felt fear but quickly jabbed the back of his gun on my stomach, this sensation was really painful while I can barely breath.

He then came close to me while smiling and then told me "good night" until I noticed that one of the individuals placed a needle on my neck and injected something inside my skin which instantly... lose.. my consciousness.

My eyes slowly opened and I noticed that my whole body is being restrained by something and when I looked around I was in a state worser than before.

There was straps around my mouth, arms and legs while I'm stuck to what seemed to be a wheel chair.

I cannot move my body one bit except for my neck.

At least I am able to breath through my nose and see what is happening.

The thing I noticed was that I am in some kind of elevator which is going down from witnessing the number descend on the screen just above the elevator door and I was not alone as two guards were standing in my sides while being fully armed with armor and guns.

They looked like the type of individuals that only people can see during war or something which gave me the thoughts on what is going to happen to me...

The elevator then stopped and revealed a massive place that has cells everywhere.

Blood, sweat, vomit, and especially rotten corpse scent could be smelled from what seemed to be an asylum or some kind.

One of the guards then came towards me and unstrapped everything that was binding my body while the other guards points his gun towards my head.

I was then asked to move along while they hit my back with their gun which hurts a lot.

I think, I am going to go crazy as to what happened today and I always thought of this being some kind of dream but... it wasn't unfortunately...

My stomach area was paining like hell, while I can feel the wound on it has been opened...

While they forced me to walk through some sort of prison, I noticed that there were humans that looked similar to creatures who glared at me while some of them are asking if I... was food..

Some of them were so close to even grabbing me which was utterly creepy and luckily the guards fend of their jagged claws.

I was in front of a cell where it contains bars that look not normal as they were pitch black while having some glowing markings on them.

Before I was sent into the cell, the guards injected some sort of drug into my neck which I tried resisting but was forced to obey after one of them pointed the gun at me.

The drug felt weird as if my body is burning completely like fire which was hellish for a while until it cooled down.

Strange..., the wound on my stomach felt like it is disappearing much more quickly then usual...

Afterwards, I was placed inside the cell but before I did, I tried telling the guards that I'm not supposed to be here but they didn't listen at all.

I fell down to my knees inside the cell while thinking to myself as to how did all this happen, and why me out of all people...

Then I heard someone calling for me and when I looked back, I saw a guy with a face that looks completely normal though it was covered with mischievous expression who was laying down on the bed and he said to me

"Welcome to my nice humble home, roommate and wish to you my first greeting towards this new place" - ???

He then stood up and I noticed his lizard tail which made me freaked out completely as I back away from him until my back hits the gate.

After he saw on what I did, he chuckled a bit after which he grabbed his tail and pulled out, this made the floor become covered in green blood.

I was mortified while feeling completely scared from what he did in front of me.

The man then asked if he wants a bit on his tail as he chews on it which made me utterly disgusted until I can feel my stomach turn and close to hurling.

There was something eerie about this place as everyone got this weird mutation on them...

As he finishes with his tail and leaves the bones from it and drop to ground, he then asked me on how come someone as wussy as me, ended up in this place.

But before I could answer, he first told me his name and that was 'Nic' as he goes back to his mattress like bed to sit on it.

Nic then told me that I didn't need to say anything but just show my right feet which made me confused until I pulled upwards the sleeve on my pants and found a silver collar stuck to it with a button that is colored red.

He then asked me to press it which I did, and then I found a hologram appear in front of me which showed my picture while having words that I don't know what is it for beside it.

In the hologram, I could see that I am in cell 89 in block C, there was a word which was written 'rank' and beside it was numbers written like '632#', there was another thing that i should mention and that is the reason for my sentence here...

It says that I raped a teacher, commit necrophilia on her and attempting on blackmail which made me really pissed as to how the fuck is those committed by someone like me!

Nic was beside me which made me spooked out until I could hear him whistle from reading on what I did which I tried telling him that I didn't do it but he was all happy as he says that I made his crime look like child's play compared to mine...

He then said that I was ranked very low and told me that I should get a proper drug before I starve to death and try get food by competing with other prisoners to death.

I asked him to slow down as I can't get the full detail to as to what in the world is this place and on what he means by starving and competing with prisoners.

Nic asked me to sit down as it is going to take loads of time to tell the summary of this place and I also noticed that he started calling me 'Master' ever since he say my crime.

You might be asking as to why I am not freaking out so much well..., it was quite simple as I kind of... enjoyed this new scenery then those boring life style back then...

I know, I know, I'm weird and weak but who says that I would die easily in this hell hole.

----------------------------------------

Though I'm still frightened from looking at Nic gobble down the meat from his very tail...

Thank you for reading and hope for you to have a happy day
