Chapter 1- Another Simple Day

Click…click…click...…

In a windy rooftop a man keeps clicking a lighter to light up a cigarette, only the clicking sounds reverberated around the rooftop. The howling wind keeps the fire extinguish; the man has an annoyed faced he then put the lighter inside his pocket.

"Sigh…... it's one of those nights again huh?"

The man leans on the rooftop edge, putting both of his hand on the wall for comfort, with a cigarette in his hand.

The man then admires the view on his surroundings. Tall concrete buildings with neon lights looms over the area, cars drove everywhere on the bustling streets, people roamed the streets as the city lights gleams on them.

As the man eyes affixed on the city, he then looked at the towering concrete building with lavish design the building is a 3-kilometer monstrosity, where the lights emit a golden glow and a large logo emitting a blue light. Regenleif Corporation Ltd, a corporation that is massive that took the whole world by storm, where Politician, Lawyers and Corporate Dogs flock around this building to do quote on quote 'Business'.

The man then took out his lighter on his pocket and tries to light up a cigarette. Once again clicking sounds remain at the rooftop, until the man successfully lights the cigarette up, the man then put it in his mouth and inhale deep and exhale as a puff of smoke exited out of his mouth.

"Disgusting Scums."

The man silently spoke with a bit of anger on his voice, he then inhaled his cigarette and puff out a large smoke while admiring the view on his surroundings. After a while he then exhales one last time and throw out the bud at the edge of the building.

The man then stood silently enjoying the howling winds that breeze through his face. As he silently thinks gunshots then erupted loudly echoing on the part of the city, the man stood unfazed like it is a normal occurrence, he then leans on the wall and enjoys the howling's of the wind.

"It really is a normal night."

As he silently spoke, he then walks towards the exit blocked by a metallic door as the man tried to grab the handle, the metallic door then suddenly a click was heard on the other side, the door then slowly opens revealing a girl.

'It's her again.'

The girl is a beauty with short black hair with blue hair streaks underneath and eyes as deep as a ruby, with a curvaceous body and a face that put celebrities and models to shame and her tall long legs that accentuate her figure more, she tends to wear a black sweater and a black skirt with fishnet stocking that make her goth like.

The girl then walked pass at the man, while looking him at the eye, the man just gives a simple nod and walked pass her ignoring her gaze, the man then simply closed the metallic door and moved on his way. The man thought.

'Every time we meet, she keeps looking at me in the eye, like girl I know, I am handsome but it is rude to stare without permission you know?'

The man jokingly thought, he then walked down at the stairs and after a while he reached the hallway, it is nicely design with white tiles on floor and flowers on vases scattered throughout the hallway, the men then walked toward his room, number 904, the man then took a keycard on his pocket and insert it on the detector, the door then open.

"Home sweet home."

The man spoke, the man then shut the door closed behind him, the room is clean with furniture scattered throughout the room, the bed is clean and pristine and the tables are clean with no smudges around it. The man then goes straight to his desk and sat at the chair; he then reviews a bunch of papers.

This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.

"Tomorrow's clients huh? I should review this first just in case I should encounter a crazy one."

The man softly spoken, he then organized the papers and categorize it based on their mental disorder, he then took a cigarette at his pocket and starts to light it, he then inhales and puff out the smoke, he then reads each paper and notices a familiar girl.

"Interesting never thought this girl has such history, Sigh... why is my job gets progressively harder, it's my first month here goddamnit."

The man mumbles, he then looks at the picture again, the man then realizes as his mouth agape.

"Fuck my life"

He then shook his head and check the picture one last time, his hand shaking but he manages to smoke one last puff of the cigarette and then he extinguishes it on the ashtray.

'I have never thought that girl is the one who caused that massacre!'

The girl he mentioned is the one who he keeps meeting at the rooftop every night, the thought of her being semi-free is frightening, the man then opens his laptop and search more about the Mayfield Bloodbath.

The Mayfield Bloodbath is one of the well documented massacres, it started on May 14, 2049, where the casualty is 354 people, 159 Male 140 Female and 54 children are dead, brutally slain by Lilian Carter, it was due to the father of Lilian where she was beaten broad daylight by her father in one of the streets in the Mayfield County, this caused her magic to go awry which in turn killed her father in a brutal way, impaling him on a blood thorn and sucking away his life.

Lilian Carter then goes berserk manically laughing she then impaled a lot civilians absorbing their life force to her own, some civilians tried to fight Lilian using guns and magic, but it is futile they are impaled in many horrific manners, while causing the bloodbath Lilian attacked the Police and the AMCS that have recently arrived all of them died in a brutal manner.

Lilian then goes to an Elementary School Lilian then summoned a gigantic blood tsunami, drowning all the children there. Lilian then fainted afterwards due to the effects of Mana loss. Lilian was then arrested and taken to a Containment Facility where she was interrogated, but she declared that she doesn't remember any of the events the AMCS then used lie detecting magic and a magic resonator to check her mana levels, but the detector rang true and her mana levels are on F rank not the SS rank that she demonstrated in the massacre, it was found out that she has dissociative identity disorder due to numerous interrogations of Detectives and Therapist.

She was then summoned to a court but she got lucky due to the defense attorney successfully prove that that Lilian Carter did not commit the crime but instead it was the other personality. The judge gives the sentence Semi-Free instead of Permanent Containment due to all of the evidence pointed out on the other personality.

"Holy Shit! she got absolutely lucky, what the heck, if I were that damn defense attorney. I would just throw the paper and evidence at the prosecutor. I am not Dragon Reed to that kind of bluffing."

The man jokingly said, he then took a small notepad in the drawer and write a few pointers for tomorrows appointment, with a serious face he completed all his pointers for study and for luck tomorrow.

"Its my first month working as a goddamn Therapist, I just hope nothing crazy happens tomorrow, you know what? just think happy thoughts, smile and listen, just smile and listen and I will be alright."

As the man softly said. The man then cleans his desk and arrange all of the pens that he used, he then goes to a balcony that is connected at his room and then clicking sounds was heard again.

Click…click….click….click

The man then lights up a cigarette and enjoys the calm breeze of the night, reminiscing about his past, the man after a while closes his eyes and puff a huge smoke, he then looks at city lights and enjoy the view of the street.

"Its another simple day again huh?"

The man exhales one last time and then throw the cigarette bud outside of the balcony, he then set and alarm on his phone to wake up on 4AM. The man then stretches his body and go back inside on his room he then closed the balcony door, The man then heads to his pristine bed and closes his eyes.

'Time to sleep, I need to be mentally focused tomorrow' the man lastly thought.
