Dream 2

-Tak!

I suddenly heard a sound of footsteps coming from my back. After opening my eyes, I found myself in a place where almost everything looked endless.

Above was a broken sky that was dyed red. Huge portions of the sky had fallen down to the sea like under my feet, which reflected above similar to a mirror that was on a blink of destruction.

Turning around, I saw black shadowy-figure walking towards me.

"Who are you!?" I shouted.

The figure who was in front of me had the same face like the guy with crimson and prismarine eyes I met years ago but, the only thing that was different was that his eyes is both crimson eyes, while his hair was white. His whole body was covered in strings and chain as if he was placed into a seal.

The thing I've paid attention the most was the terrifying aura he keeps emitting. He emits a jet-black aura that even if it was placed in a bit of light, it would still be hard to see through.

The figure only looked at me with an indifferent expression.

"I said who are you!?!" I asked once again. Though, this time I raised my voice.

"For who I am doesn't matter, for who you are does." The figure smiled coldly, giving me a look of indifference. "We both are the same person yet different being. I am who I am, you are who you are."

"What do you mean?"

"I'll look forward seeing you saving this world from the real enemies. Our time maybe in short but remember.. " Looking at me straight in the eyes, he continued, "Your life has it's own meaning even though it doesn't have answer. I'll look forward to see what you do... Player."

The figure then started to disappear, and my body became numb as I felt like I was in between the dream and reality.

The background is only white, red and black and yet... I felt like this was the real reality I knew. Even though this is the first time I saw this place, I felt like I've been here before.

I saw him walking towards me so I decided to move, but then I noticed that my foot was frozen in place.

"What is this?" I asked, forcibly trying my best to lift even an inches of my foot up. I don't know why but my body kept trying to refuse my command to do so, so I could only stood there in the same place where I was.

Raising his fingers, the figure then stabbed it into my forehead, as memories started to came over my head.

"For now, my gift for you is my.... Story."

.....

After waking up, I immediately got up and went to the bathroom.

As I was nearing the mirror, blood suddenly came out from my nose. "A Nosebleed?" I muttered, wiping the blood carefully.

Inside the bathroom, I looked at my reflection in the mirror while I continued to wipe the blood that came out from my nose. When I'm done, I took a quick shower and put on my proper uniform before leaving the room.

"Why do I feel like I've forgotten something important." Shrugging my shoulder, I said to myself, 𝘐𝘧 𝘐 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘰𝘵 𝘪𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘮𝘢𝘺𝘣𝘦 𝘪𝘵'𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘵.

I finally reached my class. Soon I took the sit on the back left corner, hoping that no one would try to bother me.

Since the class the protagonist and I could only meet up was Cossette's class, I didn't have to worry about taking this sit.

The current subject I was in right now is History, while Arthur's class subject for today is Physics... The same subject I was in yesterday.

While I was reading a book, I suddenly felt a cold and dreadful gaze coming from my side. Slightly glancing towards it's direction, I immediately averted my eyes after I saw who it was.

𝘚𝘩𝘪𝘵! 𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘯'𝘵 𝘐 𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘴𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘮𝘦?

"....." Alicia continued to glare at me with her piercing gaze. Her gaze was scary enough to sent chills back on my spine. After seeing that even ignoring her is futile, I decided to do what my mind was currently thinking.

Forcing a contrite frown, I turned my head to face her directly, then bowed my head shallowly while never removing my eyes from her. "Is there any particular reason for you to get angry at me, Alicia?"

She was about to answer my question when a blonde beautiful woman, assumed to be the Professor came in. "Okay, class. Let's get started," She said, placing the books she was holding to the table.

And so, the History class finally started...

Scanning through the whole class, she opened her mouth and began telling the story about what happened many, many years ago.

"For many thousand of years ago, it was said that this world's only species with high intelligence was humans. Due to some unknown portal releasing monsters appearance from every country around the world, the humans was forced to regress their knowledge in exchange for strength." Slightly touching her tongue using her fingertips, she used this to help her turn the page of the thick book from the table.

She took a few seconds to take a quick break before continuing, "When the humans was on their last stand against this so-called 'Demons', a hope suddenly emerge after a portal which brought new allies; Dwarves, Elves, Demi-Humans, Fishman or Mermaid, and lastly, Vampires."

Glancing at the interested look of the students, the professor continued, "Did you know? It was said that in the past, everyone lived in a much more advance than what it is now. If it wasn't for the appearance of every species from the past, many believe that the humans might've successfully found out about the secret of the whole universe. The tools from what was left now from the past and survived till this day is now called as 'Artifacts'." Said Professor, drawing a phone-like artifact in the blackboard. I guess what she said make sense since the knowledge here is a bit similar from my past life.

"Anyways, going back to our topic. After a long years of fighting, the other races; Demi-Humans, Fishman and Mermaids went extinct, while the Demon race finally made a treaty between the last four races. Though, there was still some Demons left who decided to go against this treaty." With a short pause, she continued, "Right now, those Demons was now called as 'True Demons'."

TRIIING-!

And when bell rang, the subject History has finally ended.

After the professor and almost all the students left, I lifted up my bag and placed it behind shoulder before leaving the room quietly.

𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘐 𝘨𝘰 𝘯𝘰𝘸? I thought as I continued to walk at the empty hallway. While I was locked in thoughts, I didn't noticed someone sneaking from my behind.

That person from my back pushed me in the wall as she placed her arm to my right, covering my only escape route from her.

"Alicia... Isn't this supposed to be the other way around?" I said as I stared straight into her eyes... I really think that our role is kind of opposite right now.

She didn't replied right away as she remained silence while continuing to exclude an hateful aura towards me. I currently don't know what to say so I waited for her to give me a reply.

"Why...?" She finally mumbled something in low voice, but it was loud enough for me to hear clearly. "Why didn't you tell me that you're him in our fight?" She pouted her lips.

With a short pause, I scratched my cheeks. "I... I just wanted to tease you a little." I said, turning my head aside to avoid her gaze.

𝘐𝘵'𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘐'𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦 𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘢 𝘤𝘳𝘶𝘴𝘩 𝘰𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘪𝘧 𝘐 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘶𝘦𝘥...

Punching my stomach weakly, Alicia bashfully replied, "Next time you do that, I will not forgive you, hmph!" She then averted her head, turning around to leave.

I rubbed my belly while seeing her off, then turned around to continue walking. Stretching my arms up, I sighed.

"It seems like I successfully dodged something troublesome for today."
