1 Prologue

Yui Orihime is my real name, I lived a pretty ordinary life as the 15-year old daughter of a regular household. My father was a construction worker while my mother is a house wife, I have no relatives according to my parents and I in particular am not bothered by it, unlike some cringe teens my age who kept claiming they have no friends, I'll be true to myself and say I have quite alot. Though I don't have bestfriends or any of the sort.

I lived for 3 more years and now I'm 18 years old. I lived quite an ordinary life with no eventful or notable things happening until my parents met their demise one by one. It was like a curse.

A year ago, my father was crushed at work by falling debris that came from an incomplete building under construction, it was unfortunate but many others were also caught in the incident. Two months later, my mother was driven in a corner by my father's death and was forced to overwork herself to death, the last words that she gave to me were to finish my studies and graduate college, even if it's by my own.

A year later when I had finally graduated senior high, I decided to lay back in my apartment and play my favorite game.

After attending the graduation ceremony, I walked back home, which was the apartment that I have been living in for a year now. I have already grown used to being independent, it was strange but it felt satisfying. I twisted the doorknob which made a low "Click!" sound before swinging it open. The room where I rest was in shambles, pretty much very messy and it smelled greatly of roses. The only things in proper condition was my desktop and mattress. As a busy person, I didn't have much time on trifle things like my room's presentability. As long as theres shelter, I can still rest.

I let out a short and relaxed sigh, a sparky smile forming in my face before launching myself at a giant pillow atop my mattress. But the fluffiness wasn't the only reason I leaped as I reached out my hand and plugged in the extension of my computer. I wanted to play already.

After turning on the device, I sat down and did the usual process of opening a game. One minute has passed since it began loading.

Two minutes... Three minutes... Four minutes... Five minutes... Six minute—

Isn't this taking too long? There must be an issue with the internet connection. Well that's inevitable, it happens sometimes so I suppose I'll just sit here. What badluck.

"I really want to eat some fresh quick noodles right now..."

Before I had realized it, my eyes had begun to feel heavy and my body was lazily slumped against my seat. My energy felt like it was floating away. My body feels extremely numb and I couldn't move my muscles.

What is happening to me?

Ah, it looks like I'm about to die.

My body felt very cold, I felt hunger and dreadfulness which I haven't felt before.

Am I going to die? Just when I finished senior high school and am leading a formal life? I still want to become a novelist after some proper practice.

But it didn't seem like I was allowed to have something so extravagant coming to me. And so, I felt my last heart beat come to a permanent stop. It looks like I'm going to die already without even knowing why.
