Story of Grief: Bargaining (3)

Hello there! Damn it feels so great to start this story up. I need something to take my mind off of the stresses of life. You may have noticed I changed the "Story" part of the title to "Story of Grief." Not only does this separate these threads from others, but it also categorizes the stories I make. This is my first series and I hope to make another. Thank you so much for following this storyline (you know who you are). Let's start with the usual confusion!

Chapter 1: Contemplation​

Why is my life so unfortunate?! Every single time, I wake up in some weird place and either get welcomed or chased. Was I stabbed or was I captured? I don't know. I don't even know if I'm still alive like last time. If I’m gonna be here for a while, I might as well think about my current situation, like why I’m going through these worlds. Speaking of, where did I come from again? What was that town called? The name was Denpe right? Or was it Alem? Denpe- what was so special about that place and why is it in my head? What about Alem as well? How long have I been floating in space? I can’t remember anything about those two names, yet they’re stuck in my head! I don’t know what’s in store for me; all I remember is vague recollections of faces. I can see them and recognize them, but when I see them again, they’re different. What am I doing? I feel like I already died, but at the same time I don't. Why am I not waking up? All I can see is darkness. Wait, I feel something now. Is this what resurrection feels like? I can feel my fingers and toes. I can feel myself lying on some really nice and spiky grass. And what do you know? My eyes are closed. I’ve been through a lot already with seeing people I care about being killed. I don’t know how it’s gonna get worse. There’s nothing I can really do besides open my eyes.
"Hey! Watch out, loser!"
That's all I hear when I open my eyes. I look around and find myself on some grass. I couldn’t really see anything; it was all so blurry. My head felt a little sore like a ball hit it. I squirm around on the ground to try feel if anything’s there and found a pair of glasses and a book. I put on the glasses and was able to see much better. I found a red ball next to me. I then see a boy walking towards me and he yelled, "Oi! Stop being worthless and toss me the ball!"
"You don't have to be so mean!" I yelled back.
"What did you say to me?" the boy said.
"Nothing. I'm sorry." I said while tossing the ball to him. He walks back to where he came from with a scorn on his face. "So, this is what I should be expecting?” I thought while staring at the grass on the ground.
“Hey!” I turn to see the boy running back. “You okay, dude? Sorry for hitting you with the ball and sounding so demanding. It’s just that I’m so stressed because of how life is down here.”
“D- down here?” I asked.
“Yah. Have you been looking down this whole time?” he said while pointing up.
I look up to see a mountain, higher than I’ve ever seen. It wasn’t anything like that mountain from- where was I from again? It was probably ten times the height of that low mountain. On the mountain, I saw houses and little villages, and as I looked up, the wealthier the owners of the houses looked. “What the heck is up there?!” I asked.

Alright! Thanks for reading and please leave some feedback down below! If you want to be in this story, please leave something below about that and I will get to you. The ones I already have down are here:
@SerenadeOfStorms, @TwageTomato, and @LouiseXminerX
I hope to try to get back that spark I think was missing in Anger and get it from Denial. I can't explain it, but I think Denial was better :D

 

Yay! Awesome start Kono ^-^ Can't wait for this story to grow :D

 

Yay new story :D

 

This is going to be a great story!
Could you think about adding me as a character? =P

 

I will start adding in more characters with interactions starting in this chapter, or should I say the last.
New character: @SerenadeOfStorms

Chapter 2: BashonMountain​

As I stared into the sky above us that barely peeked out amongst the rock formation, the boy took the opportunity to explain the situation of the area. Now that I took a good look of him, he looked like any teenage boy. His hair was a dark shade of brown and he was wearing a red shirt and denim overalls.
“Hey, you asked me about this place right? Haha, you don’t look like you’re from around here actually, and you really do talk softly, you know. Well, let me explain. You see that mountain?”
“Oh, yah.” I replied, “It’s kinda right there and taller than any mountain I’ve ever seen.”
“Haha. You’re a fun one, aren’t you? Well, I wasn’t referring to the mountain as a whole. Don’t you notice something about the mountain?”
“Not really. Besides the houses that look wealthier as I look up, it looks like your average mountain.” I said.
“Well, that’s what I was referring to. If you can see it, the houses are grouped right? There are shared buildings as well up there. Let me fill you in on what I know. To the common folk of the people above us, we’re called ‘Zeros’ because we have no rank and no social status. The Ichibas are the ones who rule over us and it’s rumored there are people who rule over them. Bashon’s a place with a ladder, and you’re ranked based on how good your family is at business” he explained.
“Huh, thanks for the info.” I said.
“No pro- what the, you’re one of them?!” he screamed. He was pointing at my jacket and staring at it in awe.
“Huh? I’m really confused here.”
“The emblem on your jacket, it’s neither a Zero nor Ichiba. Th- there are two stars on it! I’m sorry for what I did to you! Or did they send you for me? No! I don't wanna think about it! Please don’t hurt me!”
“What are you talking about?! I know what it’s like to be bullied, okay? I’m not gonna start being the bully here. I’m going to ask you this and this only, though. This place is called Bashon right? And the ranks here are based off of the economic status your family holds?” I asked, “And even then, what human right do I have to be on top of you?”
“Well, I don’t think it’s a fair system, but things need to change. I have heard rumors of the power that any ranked member has. It’s like they’re superhuman or something. Well, I’ll be honest with you. You really shouldn’t be treating me like this. You might get spotted by your colleagues and become an outcast, you know.”
“I really don’t care. What’s the harm in treating people nice? I don’t even know what I’m doing down here if I really am a ranked member.”
“I guess, if you’re willing to bear consequences. Anyway, the name’s Serenade by the way. If you need anything, just ask me. You know where I’ll be. If you turn around you, these little shacks are where us no-rankers live,” the boy said.
“Thanks. You’re a pretty good person alright.”
“Well, don’t be a stranger, okay? Don’t meet a terrible fate either. I need you for something later!” he yelled as I started walking towards the mountain.
“Wait, what?” I yelled back.
“Oh. Nothing. I just said too much. Yah, too much” he yelled as he walked to his own place.
I cast off Serenade’s comment as I started to walk to the mountain again. “Hmm, this does seem familiar now that I think about it,” I thought to myself, “I better check that book I had. It’s always been like this, hasn’t it? There’s something a bit off this time around though. I can probably check it as I get in that car.”

Thanks for reading! Please leave something down below and if you want to be in the story, I furthermore encourage your participation by leaving something.

 

Yay :D
For once kono isn't a reject and an outcast (yet)

 

Alright! Let's add Louise in. There's also someone who's gonna be added who's making an appearance at the end. @SerenadeOfStorms, your character will appear later and will have a very big role in the plot so hang on tight.
New characters: @LouiseXminerX, @???

Chapter 3: Louise​

As I walked towards the mountain, I found a cable car system that could take me to where I thought I’d be living. I used the emblem on my blue jacket to check in and get to the village. It felt normal for people to go to and from ranked villages. The car ride to the village took a while. Inside the car was a regular wooden bench, which I decided to sit on. On the bench I decided to take out my journal and read some of the entries. Everything was there as usual, but for the time I was in Alem, I see more journals than I actually thought of writing. I guess I really was writing in my sleep.
Knowing that no one was in the car with me, I read out loud as if I was reading to someone. I read about people I met along the path I’ve taken. I barely remember some of them and could only say their names. For some reason, they always appeared, even when I’m not in their world. Maybe I’ll see them or maybe I won’t. There is one person who was always there though.
“She kneed him in the gut."
“She turned into a demon.”
“Her name was Louise.”
I read that last part that was in the journal entry and I could hear her voice.
“Hah, what are you doing back so early, Kono?”
“L- Louise? You’re here?”
“Yah, of course, silly. I’ve always been here. I decided to get you and drag you home before dusk starts, but I guess you found your way back anyway. Normally I force you back here after you’ve been hanging out in the commoners quarters for so long.”
“Wait, what? I can’t see you.”
“Oh right.” She said. She appeared next to me on the bench with a devilish grin. “Come on! Don’t you miss me?”
“Yah of course I do.” I replied, “How did you appear there?”
“Well duh. I made this invisibility gadget remember? I just showed it to you yesterday when you came next door to my place!”
“Oh yah.” I said while staring into the ground. So Louise and I’ve been friends already in this world. I hope I find the others soon.
“Hey, you okay? I know you’ve been pretty lonely all these years since your parents are never home, but it’s nice they’re able to support you so you can have a good life. Anyway, I’ll keep my lips sealed about your new friend. No one can find out, got that?” she said.
“Wait, why? Is there something wrong about the classes mixing?”
“Yes. It’s been like that since the king decreed it hundreds of years ago. It makes sure the economy is active and money flows through the people. We can’t have those who are lazy thinking they can be with us! You’ll be punished severely if you get caught speaking with a member of another class."
“Oh. Is that the rule then? That’s bonkers.”
“What? Hey, you really feeling okay? This really doesn’t feel like you, you know. You loved that rule most of all since it protected you from mingling from commoners.”
“I did? Well, I don’t think it’s right anymore.”
“Well, I guess it’s always been like you to be so unpredictable. So am I. Why don’t you come over for dinner tonight? My parents are stuck at work again too so we can just hang out or play a game or even build something in my lab. You’ve always been into putting pieces of tech together.”
“Sure. I still need to get u- I mean, I’ll come over once I get some things from home.”
The cable car stopped and we got out. I decided to follow Louise since I had no idea where I was going.
“Where are you going? Your place is right there, silly.”
“Oh, oh right.” The cable car really just dropped us both off at our place, so do these emblems have special codes on them that tie them to the owner? I decided to test it out. The door to what happened to be my family’s apartment had a futuristic lock on it. There appeared to be a laser-eye lock in it so I flashed the emblem to it and the door opened automatically. I walked inside and Louise was already inside her apartment. I guess I just would knock on her door when I was ready. It felt natural for me when I walked in and I just instinctively walked to what appeared to be my room. It did feel like me with a laptop on the desk and stuffed animals decorating the bed. Creeped out by the appearance of this, I walked out and knocked on Louise's door.

“Hey! Welcome back! You know everything here already so it shouldn’t be a hassle. I made some pasta with chicken again and I thought you’d want to do combat practice with me when we finish eating.”
“Wait, c-combat pr- practice?!”
“Yah. That’s your favorite thing to do besides writing in that journal of yours. Oh that reminds me. I have to upgrade your jacket.”
“What?! You mean this jacket does things besides be clothing?”
“Yah, of course. It transforms into a whip or sword at will and allows you access to all sorts of places. Without it, you probably can’t even get to your own home. Oh! In the meantime, let’s watch the news! I’ve been interested in what’s going on at the marketplace.”
“You know I’ve been hearing a lot about this marketplace. Where is it exactly? I keep forgetting."
“Remember? It’s like a dugout in the mountain. There are four coves in the compass directions that lead to it each layer. Oh that’s right! King Twage is making a speech tonight! Let’s watch it!”
“K- king TWAGE?!” I thought as she turned on the television.

Thanks for reading! This message's pretty much the same every time. If you wanna be in the up and coming chapters or speculate like that cool guy up there, please leave something down below. If you wanna just comment, go ahead!

 

Awesome chapter like always Kono. Keep it up!

 

This story is confusing o-o
And I like that xD
Good job!

 

Yaaaaaas imma king now xD

 

Alright, I gotta figure out some other plot issues. I think I might stop tagging people until the plot's all figured out.
Characters: LouiseXminerX, SerenadeOfStorms

Chapter 4: KingTwage​

“Wait, I heard that right, right? King Twage?” I asked.
“Yah. He’s been king for about three decades already. He made the pr- OH, it’s starting!” Louise excitedly yelled as she handed me a bowl of food.

On the television screen, a bearded and crowned man approached the white, granite chair behind the white, granite desk that the camera was focused on.
“And here folks, is the 29th Annual State from the King himself. Please, take it away” the announcer announced.
“Thank you, Bob. Well, on this momentous day, we begin a new year. The proclamation and declarations announced all these years ago had paid off. We have separated the lazy from the working and furthermore boosted our economy. Over the past few years, there has been a massive drop in unemployment and sub-ranks have been implemented to give into the demand for housing in the first and second ranks.” Twage announced.
“Oh yah, we might be bumped up into three-star ranking pretty soon because of that and our loyalty to the king” Louise interrupted.
“There is nothing more I can say but ‘Thank you.’ Thank you all for creating a prosperous economy. Because of this, Bashon is the most economically stable country in the world. From the wheat fields in the north to the shelters in the south, this really has been my vision of the perfect country, where the lazy are punished, and the busy ones are rewarded. Now that that’s over, I wanted to address the pressing matter of terrorism. May we have a moment of silence for the events that occurred last week?”
I wanted to ask what was going on but I got scared. The fact that Twage looks like an old man and is the supreme leader just shut me up. I also felt that if I said something, some men would come out of nowhere and put duct tape on my mouth. At last, Twage continued his speech.
“For those who didn’t know, a few days ago, a fire was released inside the central marketplace, causing shops in the higher parts of the mountain to be severely damaged. As generous members, the affected shop owners are paying damages in full. We thank the owners of seven to ten- star shops for understanding. I, however, want to hunt down the people who set the fire. Security footage revealed that a group of hooded individuals were seen in the alleys of the eight-star shops. As for their connection with the incident, more footage revealed them throwing cans into the fire on layer nine. These rebels must be hunted dow-“

When I turned to my right, I saw Louise with the TV remote. “Hey, let’s do that combat practice! You’re finished with your food right?”
“Yes, I am.”
“Alright. First, I have to install that new thing into your suit. I figured out how to make the hood part transform into a shield. That thing would just fall off every time you transformed your jacket. Come this way.”
She led me down the hall of her house and we went into the room at the end of the hall. When we went in, it looked like a junkyard with a desk in the main corner. There were spare parts on the ground and tools scattered around.
“Sorry it’s a bit messy today. I’m repairing the Clean-O-Bot currently and I’ve been focused on making better weapons.”
“Whoa, wait. Weapons?”
“Yah. Like your jacket becomes a whip or sword, I’m making these other weapons. So far, I made a laser pistol out of a broken laser-eye reader. I just needed to find material to make the laser stronger. I want to make more things but I just need to find more things that were thrown out. Anyway, hand me your jacket.”
I took off my jacket, trusting her, and she threw it in the trash bin.
“WHAT. What the heck did you just do?!”
“Umm, Kono? We’ve gone through this before. That trash bin’s were I upload new information into the clothing. All I need to do is get out my laptop a- Where the heck is it?”
“Uhh Louise? Is that your laptop?” Behind us both was a robot with what looked like a computer screen and custom built limbs. The computer screen flashed and a face appeared on it.
“Oh. Yah I thought something was off when I left my laptop on my desk. Don’t worry. This happens every few months or so. My laptop’s sentient so I have t- Oh wait, this is an upgraded version of the last robot. And I barely survived that one.“
Louise took out my jacket out of the bin and grabbed her laser pistol.
“Yah Kono? I’m gonna need your help with this. Put this on and press the emblem. Your jacket’s fibers will crawl up your right arm, making either a sword or a whip. Just think about either one.”
At that moment, the computer smashed the ground, separating Louise and me. I could see lasers out of the smoke, meaning Louise was okay and attacking. “Alright,” I thought, “let’s try this.” I pressed the emblem firmly and thought about holding a whip and I felt the fibers crawling up my right arm and I was surprised about how well it felt. Instinctively, I cut off the limbs and Louise was able to reboot the laptop.
"Okay. That's it. Just think about it and the jacket should reappear on you. Then I'll go ahead and upgrade it once it's in the bin." I did the same thing as before and Louise upgraded it. "Thanks Kono! I'm gonna go clean all this up so why don't you get some sleep?" I agreed with her and I went back home. Not knowing it, I went to bed and dreamt something odd.

Chapter 5: SchoolSucks​

As always, waking up is horrible. Especially when you barely survive a very hectic dream. I thought about it and decided to log it down. I barely felt any control of it and the dream felt very familiar. It’s like what I felt in Denpe. Hey, now that I think about it, maybe I couldn’t remember anything well before because of that witch. Anyway, that dream just felt different. Maybe it’s a vision like that cat said. I took out my blue journal from before and started writing my very short recollection of it:

「The dream started with something crazy. I was sleeping on a carpet and opened my eyes. For some reason I could feel the carpet moving, and it actually was. I looked around me and all I saw was the mountain that Bashon’s capital is on. My gaze was fixated on the mountain and when finally decided to face the direction in which the carpet was going, Louise’s laptop appeared, stomping on the houses in Serenade’s area. I realized then that my jacket was off, so I couldn’t kill it. The computer took the carpet out of the air and gobbled us up. That’s when I heard something in the background, where all was black.
“Hey Serenade? Can I get to you about our next plan? We have Kono with us now”」

That’s when I woke up, screaming, as always. I shot out of bed, and unlike that bunk bed from before, this wasn’t a bunk bed. I didn’t hit my head on anything, mostly because I was lying on my stomach. This is where I wrote in my journal. Anyway, I contemplated what that voice was at the end. It felt like an actual nervous voice that would call out to people. It sounded scared and human. I couldn’t figure out who it was, but when I heard Serenade’s name, I knew something was off. That’s when the alarms sounded off. They were blaring like a dragon would attack. I heard screaming coming from Louise’s apartment, so I rushed over to her place and violently knocked on her door.
“Louise?!” I yelled, “Are you okay?”
“Kono, you don’t have to check on me every single time. I told you this. Those alarms scare the heck out of me.”
“Oh, what are those things by the way? And why do they blare like that?”
“Well, it was an ordinance set by the king a few years back. It’s the ‘Get-up and go!’ initiative. Anyway, we gotta get set for school remember? Get out of those clothes from yesterday and grab an apple or somethin’."
“Oh. Oh yah!” I said ecstatically. I ran back into my house and did the normal morning routine: changed clothes, brushed my teeth, grab my bag, and grabbed a piece of fruit. All of this felt so natural to me. I met with Louise in front of her apartment and she grabbed my arm suddenly. “Hold on! Don’t want you to get lost in the space-time thingamajig.” She yelled.
“What?” She pressed a few buttons on her watch and I held tightly to her arm. I got scared and closed my eyes. It got really cold too, and within a few seconds it got suddenly warmer. I opened my eyes and we were in front of brightly lit building. I look around and I thought that this would be the marketplace because it was so lively with people talking and walking around.
“W- where is this?” I asked Louise.
“This is the school, silly, or as 63% of the students calls it, prison. Anyway, th- th- the-“
“What?” There was no reply. In fact, I look around and there was just no movement. Everyone had blank faces on them and just froze in place.
“Heh, heh, heh.” A slow and sinister cackle sounded behind me, at the entrance of the school. Before I could turn around to confront the person there, the voice sped up. I could barely make it out, but the deep voice said, “Let’s make things more interesting.”
“What?” I asked. When I turned around, there was no one there. I then heard a sound that was similar to someone casting a spell or teleportation. The ground started to shake and I heard rock cracking. I could see the cracks in the mountain walls. When I tried to grab Louise, I remembered she wasn’t there anymore. I looked around for her and then I looked up. A rock fell and crushed me. I could feel the pain as my bones were crushed by the weight of it. It was like I was curled up in a ball at the time. I couldn’t find the energy to move, so I just stared at the ground as the scene got blurry.
“Oh boy, not this again,” I heard, “well, let’s get you fixed up, boy.”

Chapter 6: Violations​

“Great! Now I have to wake up twice today.” I thought as I opened my eyes, “Now where the hell am I? W- what was the last thing I remember? All I remember is a giant boulder crushing me. I can’t remember anything before that.” I look around me and I’m lying in bed in a white room. Then a guy in a white lab coat came in. He had ruffled dark brown hair and was wearing glasses. “Oh, you’re up, Kono.”
“H- how do you know my name?” I asked.
“Uhh, I’m your history teacher, Kungom. You passed out in the courtyard outside the school. Louise yelled for help and I responded. Your parents have been notified already. They say you’re fine and your medical records show that this isn’t the first time you’ve passed out. School should be finished soon, and I assigned Louise to help you home.”
“Oh. Thank you for the information. Is it okay to call you by your first name? And where am I exactly?”
“Of course it’s fine. That’s how I make a comfortable learning environment. Anyway, you’re in the health room. Louise should be here any minute after finishing her test. You can take yours tomorrow if something doesn’t happen to you. Oh I hear hurried footsteps. Could that be?”
“Kono! Are you okay?” Louise asked when busting through the door of the room. “Oh you’re alright by the looks of it. I’m glad you’re safe. Let’s get going. Your jacket and bag’s hanging up here.”
I grabbed my bag and my jacket and thanked Kungom. Louise and I walked out of the school building. The courtyard was full of students, happy to be out of school. You could see how they were grouped according to their rank. Everyone looked and dressed the same in their rank clique.
“Hey, you haven’t said a word since we got out of that room. Is something wrong?” Louise asked.
“Nothing’s wrong. I just have a strange gut feeling. Before I passed out, I-“
“Hey Kono!” A teenage boy in overalls came running towards us.
“Who’s that?” Louise asked.
At first I couldn’t recognize him, but then he answered Louise’s question with, “It’s me! Serenade!”
“Kono. Do you know him?” Louise asked.
“Uhh, yah. I do. Wait, is there a rea-“ I was interrupted by a strong feeling on my back. I heard a crack of a whip at the same time. I fell to the ground face-first. A robotic voice butted into the void of silence following my fall.
“Scanning. Kono Hito, you are in violation of Royal Order 01000001: residents of differing ranks may not associate kindly with each other. You have been warned. Another violation and the BRP will be forced to take harsh action. Again, you have been warned.”
The robotic voice disappeared without a trace. I got up with ease and Serenade was nowhere to be seen.
“Kono! Oh my goodness. Let’s get you out of here. That guy you talked to ran off. I’m telling you now: don’t talk with him. It’ll only make things worse.” Louise said.
“I- I don’t understand.” I said.
“I told you this before! We can’t mingle with them. It’s illegal!” she yelled at me.
“I guess I understand now. Louise?”
“Yah?”
“Let’s go home. I need to ask you about something. I think it’s time I tell you about my memories.”
“Uhh, okay? I don’t know what this is all about. Huh, it seems so sudden though.” Louise said with a sullen face, “I mean, we’ve been friends for a long time and you’ve been acting really strange.”
“Louise, I’m gonna need you to trust me on this. Can you open up the portal?”

Louise sighed heavily and agreed. She took me back to the apartment building and led me into her house again. She slumped down on the couch.
“Fine. What do you want?” she asked.
“Ok. This may seem craz-“
“Everything you’ve done has been crazy. What’s going on?”
“I’m getting to that. Anyway, I’m not actually from this place. Heck, I’m not even from this dimension. I’ve been through an apocalypse and a poisoning. Is there any way I can prove this to you?”
Louise didn’t say a word. She didn’t even bat an eye the whole time I was explaining my plight. All she did was stand up from the couch and walk towards me.
“WHACK!”

Chapter 7: Memories​

Third time’s the charm. Let’s make sure I don’t become unconscious again today.
I was lying on a bed. I really couldn’t see it, but I just felt it. My eyes were closed as if I was sleeping, and then I heard two people walk in.
“Uggh he’s still asleep.”
“What did you want to do with him again?”
“I don’t know. I thought he was faking me out but now I regret slapping him like that. We need to wake him up. Where’s the shocker?”
“Okay! I’m up!” I yelled while jumping out of the bed. When I saw where I was, I was laying on a mattress in Louise’s garage. Staring at me in shock was Louise and Serenade. “Wait a second. Why are you up here?” I said when pointing to Serenade.
“It’s rude to point, Kono.” Louise said, “Now then, you’re awake. How much did you hear?”
“About how much you thought I was faking you out.”
“Oh good. He didn’t hear much. Let’s get going with the details then.” Serenade said.
“The details? What the heck is going on? Isn’t he not supposed to be here?” I asked.
“We’re getting to that, Kono. Just be quiet.” Louise said.
“Thank you Louise. Anywa-“ A voice interrupted Serenade from the garage entrance.
“Hey! Who wants-“ Someone in a lab coat came in the garage and it was Kungom. He stopped talking when he saw that I was up. “Uhh, I think I’m gonna leave you three alone” he said while leaving the room.
“Ok, what the hell is going on?” I asked.
“You know what? I got this, Serenade. Short and simple, we all know each other. And you know those rebels King Twage was talkin’ about last night? Those people are us. Need anymore information?”
“Uhh, I think I’m good.” I replied.
“Oh this one’s good.” Serenade interrupted.
“So what do you need with me?” I asked.
“Well, let’s hear about that thing you wanted to talk to me about. I just need you to sit in this chair for me and wear this helmet. Just tell the truth and you’ll be fine.” Louise said. She brought out a black chair and a helmet with wires attached to it.
“I guess if this helps you understand me.” I said while sulking into the chair and taking out my blue journal from my pockets. I started to explain the situation I was in: “Ok let me summarize each of these passages. I woke up in this place called ‘Denpe.’ I met you there and I don’t know these other two people. Their names don’t sound at all familiar to me. At this place named ‘Denpe,’ I met other people who were warriors. You led us to beating someone, but the ruckus we caused woke up a sleeping dragon, who blanketed the town in fire and killed most of the humans, including us. Then I woke up in this place called ‘Alem.’ I was hunted down by the humans there and found that I could freeze objects and absorb another magical being’s power. I can’t remember much from that place because there was magical interference that just made me forget things. Anyway, I met other mages and we went to defeat this evil mage who controlled witches with her mind, forcing them to do her bidding. We defeated her but the way we defeated her made me unstable and I basically unleashed chaos onto that world. There was one thing that tied us together though. You see this journal? Does this look familiar to you?” I asked.
Louise and Serenade weren’t looking at the journal. They were looking at a rectangular black box’s glass screen. “Huh, so you aren’t lying? Sorry I hit you, Kono.” Louise said. “Anyway, if what you were saying is true, we’re your team now. As for that journal, I do have one. It told me to get together Serenade and Kungom. It turns out they have ones too.” Louise brought out a red journal and Serenade brought out his red one.
“Well, we actually haven’t used these things. We woke up like a month ago with them but there really hasn’t been anything done in here.” Serenade said.
Then I got a flashback. It was really dark but I saw myself writing in the journal. Some mages were around me and talking amongst themselves about what I was doing. That’s when I fully remembered what happened in Alem. The anger and hatred was what I remembered the most from the venom.
“Serenade, can I see that journal?” I asked.
“Uhh sure.” He replied. I opened his journal to a random page and flipped through the book. There were about 25 journal entries. Serenade was stunned as to how there were entries in there. “You said you didn’t write in here, right?” I asked.
“Yah, I don’t. This is impossible, but right in front of me, there are entries that I didn’t write. Louise? Are there any in yours?” Serenade asked.
“Yah. There are. I just checked.” Louise answered. “Hey Kungom! You better get in here!”

Thanks for reading! I really do appreciate the support I get from you guys.
