"Shit, shit, shit, I am late for school again it's my 6th time this month just because I forgot to put on my alarm before sleeping," my teacher told me if I'm late again he'll have to do something about me and I DON'T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN.
After running for 15 minutes straight i could see the school's gate where I study.
"Phew, looks like I made it in time."
While i was still celebrating for arriving on time and as I was about to cross the school gate i heard someone's footsteps approaching me from behind. As I turned back to look who it was I got a gentle smack in my forehead.
"Hey, Hyousuke you're late again," she says
"Ah, sorry I slept for too long," I replied.
"That's the reason you shouldn't be awake late night playing too much games." "No I was just too tired and for that reason I just slept a bit too long."
"Leaving that aside did copy down the homework i gave you?" she says.
"Yes, thanks for the help as always Ayase if it weren't for my gorgeous little friend of mine I would've been in grave trouble." As I tease her a bit her face turns bright red as red as a tomato.
"Y-You should be grateful that I'm always helping you or you would've already been long gone."
This girl who is standing in front of me all flustered is my childhood friend Ayase Ichino we've known each other since elementary school, infact I'm actually really grateful to have a friend like her who has always been close to me even though I'm just a nobody in my class.
"Uh oh, the classes have already started we've spent too much time chatting we should quickly go to our classes."
As she ran past me to head towards her class, i could see her beautiful silver hair moving together with the wind in sync hoping that this moments together with her never ends.
Or i thought so.
As time went by, my feelings for her grew as well.
A year later, as graduation was getting closer i thought about proposing and express my love for her, so I planned on inviting her on a date with me at a new café that has recently opened in my neighborhood which is filled with playful cats around the entire café.
As I was thinking about how to confess my feelings for her i saw Ayase sneaking behind the school's building with my friend Hiroki Kagano I got a bit suspicious of them so I tailed behind them and saw something that I think I shouldn't have they were kissing each other and Ayase seems to show no hesitation while kissing him Hiroki saw me hiding behind the wall while I was peeking than he hugged her tightly.
"Did you notice your childhood friend is peeking at us?"
"Huh, is he?"
"Let him, he probably have never kissed any girl before anyways so let him just watch us."
They probably thought I couldn't hear them but I did, i did hear them both well i couldn't believe my ears hearing those words from her mouth how could a sweet girl like her turned out to be like this in the span of a year, Hiroki he knew it clearly that I've always liked Ayase and yet he still stole her from me.
I went back to my class thinking where did it all go wrong i just hoped, i could live with her together forever. The school ended as I spent the rest of my entire day thinking about this incident. I saw them both my childhood friend who is now his girl and the friend who betrayed me waiting for me outside the school gate.
They both were still sticking close to each other blocking my way, i thought of going past them but they again came as stood in front of me.
"Hey, do you hate me and her now that I've stole your long time crush and she gladly accepted me?"
"No, I don't I don't hate any of you."

As I replied to his question and tried going past them Hiroki stopped me again.
"Great, i thought you had found out that she was just playing around with you cause she thought you were smart and filthy rich since you always buy such expensive things and wear expensive clothes."
I freezed at my place, i was in disbelief i couldn't believe it that it was all fake, those happy moments together with her all were fake and it was just a regular job for her, and then he hugged her and kissed her on her lips in front of me intentionally and Ayase didn't resist either and she kissed him back.
"I heard from my friends they you were planning on asking me for a date?"
"I couldn't believe them at first because a sore loser guy like you had the guts to ask me out for a date?"
"You're just a pathetic person who isn't even able to score an average percentage in exams, you can't even run 5 laps on top of that you're too weak, can you even protect me if someone were to attack me?"
I couldn't stand them anymore so I left them behind and ran away from their.
It was already past 6 before before i reach my home, as I tried to open the door i noticed it's still locked.
"It seems my sister Yuna still haven't arrived till now she's working too late today."
I tried calling her but she didn't picked her call. So, I thought of not disturbing her anymore and didn't think about checking up on her by calling her again. Even while laying on the bed i thought about the entire situation again.
"Even if it all was just an act how could a person just randomly betray people so easily?"
The next day at school everyone was looking at me with disgust i couldn't think what I did to make them feel so disgusted towards me, i tried asking a few of them but they straight away ignored my question and me too.
"Hey, I can't believe you're able show your face to everyone right now without feeling any guilt for what you did to your own childhood friend."
Even after him saying that I couldn't think of doing anything that had hurt her yesterday.
"What did i do? You're probably mistaken or something."
"Oi, son of a bitch you don't remember what you did to my girlfriend yesterday?"
I turned behind to look and it was him the friend who had back stabbed me, he then proceeded to walk towards me and suddenly punched so hard in my face i instantly started bleeding.
"Look at you acting all innocent, so you're saying you don't remember raping my woman and then selling her off to some old pervert people to use her as they like?"
I couldn't utter a single word from my mouth and rushed towards him to punch him but he doge my punch and countered me with another punch i fell on my knees as I was in my knees all helpless i yelled–
"What did you do to Yuna?! What did you do to my childhood friend?!"
He came closer to me and whispered in my ears.
"I sold her off and thanks to your sister too, she was a great help too imagine getting raped by a punch of old creeps until morning."
He couldn't have made it any worse he already stole my childhood friend no my dearest friend ----- on top of it he kidnapped my sister too. I was raging with fury completely helpless none of my teachers or even my classmates helped me at that exact moment.
I silently uttered that i swear to god "I will kill all of you, every single fucking one of you!"
As I was bleeding continuously my homeroom teacher decided to finally call the ambulance even though it was clearly written all over his face that he doesn't want to waste anyone's time by calling an ambulance for me.
Then i slowly realised the reason my bleeding wasn't stopping because of a cut in my abdomen and then i fell unconscious because of excessive blood loss.
"I will help you."
"Huh? What is this place it's so bright I can't see anything and i thought I heard someone's voice just now."
"I will give you the power to destroy anyone and anything that dares to stand in your way."
As I continued to hear this unknown voice i thought of trying to call out to it. Then i heard a faint voice.
"It sounds like a female's voice wait it's my sister's voice."
I saw a figure starting to appear in this bright world i tried to approach the figure by calling out.
"Who are you? Where are we? What is this place."
"B-Brother, you must take your revenge not for me but y-your own revenge don't leave the person who destroyed your life a-alive.
As she slowly started to disappear i tried to grab on to her and never let her go again she vanished.
"It wasn't your real sister it was merely just what she was thinking during her final moments."
"Y-You mean s-she's..."
"Dead"
When I heard this i could once again feel myself in rage. Then i remembered hearing the unknown voice offering me power that no one could oppose to.
"Yes I can give you the power you need but in return you have to help me."
I couldn't possibly say no after witnessing what happened to ----- and my sister, without a second thought.
"I accept it."
"Great, Then i shall bestow you with the power no one can oppose to thou shalt become thee vessel of thee great lord."
As I regained my consciousness i saw a crystal floating besides me i didn't understand what it was so I tried to touch but then suddenly a nurse came in.
"Congratulations sir, you've woken up from your deep sleep you've been in a coma like state for over a month now because of excessive blood loss over 40% apparently the cut in your abdomen was not a normal cut it had sliced an internal organ of yours."
"That crystal besides you is a mana crystal that has already surpassed morden technology in healing people or aiding people in other things be it flying, driving or even killing monsters."
I couldn't believe her words, the world has completely changed in the span of a single month if this is a second chance for me to rise again I'll gladly take it.
"Huh? So wait a second can you explain what is this pop-up window like thingy?"
"Uh... What do you mean sir I'm not able to see any of that sort of thing here."
"I guess you are just seeing things you still need some rest since you've just woke up, I'll be leaving if you need anything you can use the communication mana crystal device that is besides you on the table."
As I was still curious and didn't know what to do now. I thought of checking the window panel.
