Prologue

"You must help us!  Please!" Okay.  I'm going to back up a little bit.  My name is Reo Riku, and up until 1 hour ago, I was a normal person just like anyone else.  You see, it all started when I saved an old man from a speeding truck.

I am what you would call an Otaku.  I love anything to do with anime or manga.  They are my religion.  My way of life.  In fact so much so that I left school so that I could spend more time reading and watching.  My parents couldn't argue because they died twelve years ago, when I was three.  They said it was a car crash.  But anyway,  I would only go outside to get a new book, to buy food and drink, or to get a new DVD.

On this particular day, I had just bought some food, and I was walking down the road, when I noticed an old man tottering down the street.  I knew him.  His name was Hinata Mitsuboshi.  He had always been teased about his name, but he had got used to it.  I went to greet him, but I stopped.  Something was wrong.  I look down the street, and a speeding truck was coming the other way.  There was no way to stop it.  I assumed that they couldn't see the man, because they were on a straight collision path.  "Godamn." I muttered.  I was going to die the same way as my parents.  I leapt to the side and pushed Hinata away, and just as I touched the ground, a pentacle flared beneath me, and the world vanished.
