Selena POVI unlocked my phone to check on Akatsuki. But I had a notification. I thought of ignoring it. But it said Akatsuki.So I touched the notification to see what it was. And I was shocked. It was a medical report.I know that you can share your medical information with your contacts nowadays. But why am I getting a medical report from him?I look at his heart rate. It’s dropping. Fast and his body temperature is high. I call him. But no one is picking up. I panic.“Selena what’s the matter? You are becoming restless.” (Mary)“I am calling Akatsuki but he isn’t answering. And there’s this medical information I got from him.”I show her the information and she turned serious as well. “We have to go there.” (Mary)She told her parents. Her father went inside the house and brought the car keys. He started the car and we all rode to his place.The closer we got, the more restless we became. Because, the fire is coming closer and when we turned the last turn, we became sure. It was
Mizuki POVI would call myself an ordinary girl. I have normal parents and normal friends. I am totally normal in both studies and sports. However I am called amazing by others.They always praise me. They always call me an elite. I don’t know exactly when did it start but I took it for granted. Then it happened. The one kid who lives in front of me. I think his name is Akatsuki. We played for some time. And we went to the same school.But one thing I noticed was that he never praised me. He never told me that I was precious. He showed no interest in me.It infuriated me. It annoyed me to no end. I wanted him to praise me. No, I wanted to make him praise me.But in the end, I couldn’t. We moved up to middle school. We were in the same class. He had good grades. But he wasn’t that athletic. He always grew his hair. His face was always hidden because of his hair.But he talked to me. I used to talk to him everyday. We both were childhood friends after all. And no one beside me talked
Now let’s talk about Akatsuki’s condition. When Mizuki was talking to Mary, Akatsuki went into a seizure. His heart stopped.“What happened?” “Doctor, his heart rate is dropping. He is convulsing.” “No good. Prepare the room. We have to start his heart. Prepare the defibrillator.”The doctor is rushing to him. Akatsuki is in a terrible condition. His seizure is constantly shutting his whole body down. His convulsion is stopping. He is becoming still. Meaning his heart is almost stopped.But thanks to them taking action on time, he somehow survived. His heart started again.“What’s his condition?” “His outside isn’t that damaged. But he is heavily bleeding internally. If not stopped, he will die of internal bleeding.”“We can’t do anything. He isn’t even conscious.”The doctors are having a hard time deciding what to do. Because Akatsuki isn’t in a good condition. His heart and brain are heavily damaged. His stomach and lungs are ruptured.The impact crushed his rib cage. His eyes
(Mizuki POV)Two days after his death, we are gathered. At his funeral. He doesn’t have any relatives left who can carry his photo. But that wasn’t a problem.Mary is holding is his photo. We are all here. The ones who knew Akatsuki are all here. When the news came, I broke down. I started crying like a baby. My mother calmed me down.When I went to the hospital with my parents, I can hear the wails. It was Mary. She was wailing in pain and grief. Because he left us. That Selena girl is there as well. Standing a little away from Mary. I go near Akatsuki. His face isn’t contorted. His lips were pointing upwards.He was smiling. Did he die having a good dream? Looking at his face, I felt relieved. He left in peace. That’s what I thought.It took a while for Mary to calm down. And completing the preparations took another day.Now we are here. In the community center, where his funeral is being held. There are many people. Most of them are our classmates.The girls are all here. Even fro
I am talking with Selene. She has descended into Selena’s body. I am in my house and Mizuki and Mary are with me. “I will take the offer though.” I say. To what Mizuki and Mary become more confused. Selene is contorting her face.“Why?” (Selene)“Because she said she will give me a proper birth. I was not born normally. And my soul is just a stray soul. If I die here, I will be destroyed. So I think I should take her offer.”“Are you sure?” (Selene)“It’s rare for a whimsical goddess like you to worry about me.”But she didn’t respond to that. I should talk with Mizuki and Mary.“Mary….the thing is that…I need to leave.”“……”“Don’t just stay silent. I have to go…”“I get it…..” (Mary)She started crying. “Because I am already dead. The me you are seeing is a temporary one. Soon Izanami will come chasing me. I have to leave before that or you all will get involved in this.”But she didn’t say anything either.“Thank you, Mizuki. For wishing that I should come back.”I thank Mizuki.
Hello! It has been a while since I have been the main point of view. You might be wondering where I am, right?I, Akatsuki, have come this another world where everything is magical. The formal name of this world is Frey. Then how many years have passed since my arrival? The answer is 5000 years. Now the introduction is out of the way. Let’s switch to the unreliable narrator.A normal sunny day. The skies of Gill is clear blue with white clouds floating. The city of Gill is an important city. Not a town but a city due to the number of people living there. Around one million people live in this city.It is famous for being an important trade center and the thriving adventurer’s community.This is a frontier city which watches over the Great Dungeon or GD for short. It has a formal name as well but let’s not reveal that just yet.That dungeon is the main reason why this city is so prosperous. Always available resources will bring in more people and money. The dungeon is truly a boon f
All three of them entered the door. And they arrived at a very normal house. It was so normal that it was anticlimactic. None of them had expected something so simple.Because this house is buried under earth and an ominous warning is written on the door. You would normally think that it is a ruin of the old civilization. They thought that it was that. However, witnessing a normal house, they became dumbfounded.“Aahhh…..how to say, this isn’t what we were expecting?” (Leah)“I agree.” (Belle)“Let’s be careful. We still don’t know what this place is. Leah, can you use detection again?” (Aisha)“Ok.” Leah focused her mind and used detection. “I sense a presence in that room. But it’s an odd presence.” (Leah)“Odd? How odd? Is it a monster?” (Belle)“No. It’s a human but not a human. I can’t describe it well but something is in that room.” (Leah)“Then let’s check it out.” (Belle)“You two….haaahh… so impulsive.” (Aisha)Aisha is troubled by their curiosity and lack of restraint.The
The Valkyries and Akatsuki are now in a steakhouse. They have ordered large servings of meat and are waiting for their food to come.“We can have a good talk here. Let’s start.” (Aisha)“You really are persistent but since you will be paying so I can answer that much.” (Akatsuki)“Why do you live in that cave?” (Aisha)“‘Cause I didn’t want anyone to find me.” (Akatsuki)“How old are you?” (Aisha)“It’s not polite to ask for someone’s age.” (Akatsuki)“That goes for a woman. Now answer.” (Aisha)“Don’t ask anything. I am let’s just say 5000+ years old.” (Akatsuki)The Valkyries are stunned. “Are you a human?” (Aisha)“Absolutely. I am a bona fide human who is just 5000 plus years old.” (Akatsuki)Akatsuki was as usual. The Valkyries are starting to accept it as well. So it ain’t too hard. “What’s your story?” (Aisha)“What story?” (Akatsuki)“How are you alive when you are more than 5 millennia old?” (Aisha)“Hmmm…. I never thought about it but I guess, I can’t die?” (Akatsuki)“You
