It's been a week since that incident happened. A rift appeared, and it caught my left vision. Am I okay? Of course, even though I got a severe headache during that time, seeing two different realities at the same time is no joke. It looks like you put your hand in the middle of your eyes and squinted. You feel like your eyes are cross-eyes, seeing different directions.

But after that incident, it never happened again. I know for sure that my body wishes to feel that kind of excitement every now and then. Living in a modern world without a world crisis bored me; even I don't want to admit it. Classes are dull, teachers are dull, classmates are dull, and even my friends look dull now. I know that the accident affected my body and thoughts, and I wish this ended now.

For a fantasy fanatic who wants to travel to another world, it doesn't matter if you get stabbed in the back. Being a hero by saving someone and getting shot at gunpoint, or being even blown by a truck, just to wish you got reincarnated or transmigrated to another magical world. Ugh, life with magic, seeing magical beasts, and being surrounded by many beautiful and cute girls—a life of simple heroes. Admit it, that's what we wished for.

It's been thirty minutes since I finished my writing exam, so I'm currently dozing off to pass time. I just want to enjoy my "me time," though, but for some reason the girl at the back keeps on poking my back with her pen. It irritates me, so I turn my head and eye her. I want to look mean at her, but my personality can't, so I ask what she wants from me.

This girl smiled at me in response, then asked me if I'd be free after school. I ask her why. She had club activities later, right? She replied by giving me cute eyes, like a puppy or a cat that wants to get petted for awhile. If I just didn't consider her a friend, then I'd ignore her existence for eternity.

Well, I agree. After thinking and considering her request for a minute, I remember wanting to share something with the pig. She raised her brows and said, "Only him? Not me?" Ah, what a pain in the butt. I didn't say it to her, though.

When 4:30 p.m. hits the clock, the class is over, so all of the students are free to go with club activities, loitering, or just straight home. But me, Pig, and that annoying girl went to our usual loitering spot. "Have you watched the new anime that was released the other day?" he asked me while chowing down some snacks that we brought.

Did I watch anything? Of course not. I'm too busy reviewing for the exam. Well, the pig understands that I'm a goody two shoes and straight A+ student. "Jess, oh my lovely Jess. You always review for the exam, but your scores are so-so." Now I remember the reason why I don't like her. "I remember our last exam; your score was 60/100, and the rest are barely hanging to the thread of a passing score, hahaha." Other than mockery skills, her uncontrollable laugh annoys me the most.

"Hey, stop, don't tease him like that." The pig tried to protect my honor as a self-proclaimed goody two shoes student, but it will be much better if he stops eating all of our snacks. "So, Jess, what do you want to tell me?" and now we're back on the right track.

I told them the stuff that happened a week ago: the rift appeared in my left vision; the other world that I was seeing at that time; and I also tried to tell them about my previous dream, but somehow I couldn't remember. "You awoke your hidden ability? How?" Pig shook my shoulder to tell him more. It would be much better if he didn't talk while his mouth was full; most of the unwanted things inside his mouth fell out. "Ayt, both of you watch too much anime; that's no good," she rebutted.

I forgot to introduce my friends here. The guy in front of us is my friend A, and the girl beside me was supposed to be my enemy A but converted to friend B. This guy's name is Matthias Heard, or "Pig" for short. He loves to eat different kinds of foods, and I remember he wants to be a gourmet. Well, even though he eats a lot, he is skinny and never gains weight, which is why most girls envy him. The other one is Mary Cruz; I call her sometimes "Bloody Mary".

"Hey, forget about that anime world thing. You're free this Saturday, right? I want a date. No, date me!" I cocked my head as she suddenly invited me. I'm free this coming Saturday, but I only tell her that I'll think about it. She puffs her cheeks and says, "Boo wooh, meanie, but I still like you." She's always like this, and it's creeping me out. "Ah! I need to go; I still have club activities. Gotta go now, boyfie, mwah!" She tried to give me a kiss, but I used my palm strike to stop her attempt. She got annoyed but still accepted her defeat. She then walked away, but before that, she used her last attack by sending me a flying kiss, and I gracefully dodged it.

Pig happily watched our antics. "You should date her," he suggested, then continued to stuff his mouth with chips. Well, as for her appearance, she's cute and has a slender body; you can totally see her curve even with school uniforms. "Have you heard that she rejected the upperclassmen yesterday?" I grab the chips from his hand and eat everything that remains inside. Confessing with that girl is a nightmare, I think.

"You're weird, man. One of the beauties from our school likes you, and you ignore her?" He got another bag of chips, but before he opened it, I snatched it and grabbed the first bite. Listen here, I'm neither cute nor handsome; a guy like me has no redeeming qualities, and that's why it's kind of weird.

We continued to talk just to pass time, and once again, I retold him everything and how I wished to experience that world again. But somehow, it never happened. Pig looks at me with amusement. "You know, man, instead of seeing both realities, it's much better to get sent to that world, right?" I contemplate, and he's actually right; it's so much better if I get sent there with my body or just straight reincarnation.

"I need to go, man. I still have work to do in our club." Pig waived his hand while walking away and said goodbye. But before he could leave, I sensed something weird, and as I thought, a rift appeared in my left vision again. It gave me an intense headache, though I look down as I rub my eyes. And not for long, on my left eye, I see myself sitting on a grassy land while on a concrete floor on my right eye.

Pig noticed something, so he tried to approach but stopped when he saw me raise my left hand. It looks like I'm stopping him from approaching me, but that's not it. I'm trying to reach someone. In my right vision, I'm clearly looking at Pig, but in my left vision, I'm seeing a man within his forty.

"Cain/Jess?" Both of them clearly said my name, but the tone was different. Pig called me out of concern as he saw me writhing in pain, while the old man clearly stated something else. My left-eye vision was clear now, and I saw a man in the dark, and only the light from the four moons illuminated his body, which was clearly painted red. Wait red? Why is his body full of red paint? And his expression looks like he is terrified and angry at something. Is his anger directed at me? Why? And why is he holding a machete?

"Cain/Jess!" the man shouted with anger as he tried to run towards me and cleave his machete with all his might. I shriek as terror eats my whole body, but before his machete can land, his head is sent flying. Blood spurts from his body, but that's not the most terrifying, my friend... As the man got beheaded by someone, Matthias head also flew and rolled to the ground.

Yes... Just like that man's head.

Behind the man's back, a little girl, who looked five years old and was holding a machete, smiled and sauntered towards me. The Jess in me felt the horror that she brought as my heart pumped wildly, but the other me felt relieved and joyous as I saw my sister save me. I unconsciously tried to look at the severe head but stopped as she held my chin. "Look at me," she said with a creepy smile, then closed her lips to my ears and whispered, "Let's have some fun, my Cain," as she giggled.
