001 -

It’s summer, as a naive youngster is pedaling his bike to school. The name is Jimmy Hendrix, and he is going to have a field trip with his classmate to Drada today.

Upon reaching the school, he appears so sweaty, with a slightly-torn dirty white T-shirt. That’s what he got after a small accident on the road.

“Hey, Jimmy!” Stephanie, a blonde girl, calls in sneers. “What’s with that look?”

“I bet he didn't even have time to shower at all!” chimes another girl named Tia.

Jimmy can only holds back his embarrassment, and starts busy looking for Anna Campbell, his beloved girlfriend.

However, the girlfriend has actually noticed his arrival, and is currently looking away so that Jimmy won’t find her.

“Please! Don’t let him notice me!”

Lately, she has been feeling so in shame for having a boyfriend like Jimmy.

Soon, the girl glances at a delinquent student who often bullies Jimmy in school. Just so Jimmy won’t dare to come closer, she approaches the guy.

“Hellooow, Dwayne!” the girl greets coquettishly. “Where did you get that haircut? It looks cool.”

“You bet?” replies the guy confidently. “I cut it myself. If you want, I can modify your haircut a bit.”

“Naah, I like the way I look!” Anna waves her long black hair, openly acting pretty in front of Dwayne.

Dwayne intently stares at her, not holding back in enjoying Anna's beauty in every curve of her body.

But then, his attention is averted by Jimmy's arrival. He steps forward, and pushes Jimmy's chest roughly. “What do you want, you punk?”

Jimmy ignores him, and calls for his girlfriend. “Anna! You better get away from him!”

Anna turns around, raises her chin slightly. “Who are you ordering me around like a slave?”

Jimmy looks baffled. “I’m your boyfriend! And you know how bad this guy is! You shouldn't get close to him.”

Jimmy’s words provoke a sneer from Stephanie. “Duuuude! You are the worse creature God ever created, and you still have the face to judge other people, huh? Look at you!”

Again, Tia joins Stephanie in teasing with Jimmy. “Didn’t your mom teach you how to dress well? Oh, I forgot! You don’t even have a mom, and your irresponsible father has abandoned you too, right?”

“Hey, Anna!” Stephanie calls. “Just break up with him already! Remember, fruits don’t fall far from the tree. Sooner or later, he will abandon you, just like how his dad abandoned his mom.”

Provoked by their insults, Anna really finds the need to dump Jimmy to safe her own reputation. “You heard what they said, didn’t you? What are you waiting for? Get lost!”

Like a lightning strikes on a clear sunny day, that one really shocks Jimmy. “Are you serious with this?” he croaks, with despair slowly turns into rage.

“You are asking me like I’m going to regret this?” Anna refutes. “If you were from a rich family like Dwayne here, maybe you could direct that question to me. But you're just a dirty leech in someone else’s family.”

“You?” Jimmy grumbles.

His attention is averted to the necklace on Anna’s neck. He steps forward intending to snatch it.

But Dwayne intervenes, grabbing Jimmy on both armpits. He easily throws Jimmy away, slamming him to the ground like a kid.

“She’s mine now!” he glares.

It makes Jimmy looks so pathetic in front of everyone. But no one sympathizes. Some even laugh at him openly.

A moment later, the teacher appears, excitedly clapping from a distance to invite all the students to get on the bus.

But Jimmy still has the nerve to call Anna before she leaves him.

“Anna!”

Anna's forehead twitches, she turns around to express her irritation.

“What?!!” She snaps.

“At least, give me back that necklace!”

Jimmy once gave her a necklace. The pendant looks expensive, making her reluctant to give it back.

“You already gave it to me! How can you have the face to ask for it back?”

“It's a memento from my mom,” says Jimmy.

Anna takes the necklace off her neck and throws it roughly at Jimmy's chest.

“There! It’s just a cheap necklace to begin with!”

Jimmy picks up the necklace, and then puts it on by hiding the pendant behind his T-shirt.

“Jimmy!” the teacher calls. “Come, come! We are going to have a fun trip!”

A fun trip she said? In fact, the trip will become Jimmy's worst experience.

In Drada, Dwayne always heats things up by deliberately grinning at Jimmy with one of his arms around Anna's hip.

He keeps continuing with this on the way home, kissing Anna passionately on the bus, not holding back in rubbing the girl’s chest full of lust.

Yes, you are right! They do it on the bus. It just so happens that their teacher has fallen asleep at the most front seat. But the other students are fully aware of it.

“No, Dwayne! Don’t do that!” Anna uncomfortably glances at the others around her.

“Why? Don’t you like it?” Dwayne flirts by licking Anna's right ear.

Anna keeps her voice down. But it is still can be heard by the others, including Jimmy.

Now Jimmy has to hold back his anger, witnessing his ex in the lustful touch of the guy he hates the most. If he had a gun in his hand right now, he would have shot those two in the head.

Apparently, Anna’s moaning also reaches the driver's ears, and disturbs his concentration. Not to mention they are on a foggy road at a hill at night.

While this driver is busy trying to wake up the teacher, he is surprised by the sudden appearance of a truck from behind the corner.

He is shocked, and then swerves in a panic. The bus loses its balance and falls off the shoulder of the road. It flips once and then slides into a ravine.

All the passengers are so quiet inside the wrecked bus. It is unclear whether they are still alive or not.

Until then…

“Cough, cough!”

Jimmy wakes up, enduring excruciating pain due to the broken legs, with head bleeding heavily.

“Help! Anyone? Please! I can’t move my legs.”

He looks around, and witnesses how gore the view inside the bus is. He tries to remove his pendant away from his face. There he accidentally touches the side of the pendant with his bloody thumb.

Srrnnnk!!!

A hologram appears.

[A new player has been identified!]

[Name : Jimmy Hendrix. Age : 18 years old. Condition : 92% critical!]

[Would you like to enter Icalaterra now?]

[Yes/No]

In half conscious, Jimmy touches the hologram and accidentally accepts the offer.

[Do you want to take the other people around you to come along?]

…

[You are taking too long! We will only transfer you alone for now. Have a happy hunting!]

Jimmy’s body then simmers, and begins to disintegrate, slowly disappearing into the thin air.
