1 Prologue

It was finally summer vacation, and Satoru was excitedly going to Akihabara to buy the new volumes of his favorite mangas and novels, but he never expected to encounter an abnormally powerful earthquake. Satoru was not new to them but he never felt or witnessed anything like this before the building around him started crumbling bit by bit people all around started panicking, it was chaos. But Satoru noticed something with the corner of his eye, a little girl no more than 5 years old crying in the middle of the street all alone and she was about to be crushed by the incoming tide of panicking adults and teens.

Satoru without thinking started running in the girl's direction and somehow managed to get the girl out of danger. Satoru tried calming her down while moving. "It's okay now big brother here will protect you and after everything calms down we will go and find your parents alright?" He spoke with a smile trying to provide the girl with the feeling of security. The girl stopped crying and looked up at Satoru when she started feeling safe in his embrace and nodded cutely.

Finally, when the earthquake stopped and everyone started calming down Satoru felt exhausted but he ignored it because he still had to help the girl find her parents, but he needed information on them so he asked the little girl about her parents and situation.

"Anyways my name is Kuramoto Satoru but call me Satoru can you tell me your name?"

The girl hesitated a bit and answered "m..m..my…n..name i..is Fujimori Nana, umm S...Satoru oni-san"

Satoru was shocked at how cute the girl was, seeing such cuteness, not in anime or manga or any other fictional work Satoru swore to himself to have a cute daughter in the future no matter what.

"Nana-chan do you have something to give me when you get lost or something your parent told you to do"

Nana in realization pulled out a folded piece of paper from her little pink rabbit backpack and gave it to Satoru "Here, mom told me to give this to someone who would help me w..when I get lost"

Satoru unfolded the piece of paper and found a phone number, he called the number and informed Nana's mom who picked up the phone of where they are and what happened.

After finally meeting up with Nana's mother and seeing a mother and daughter pair hug each other, he felt warm inside. While the mother was thanking Satoru he felt that doing good deeds really pays off by how warm he feels inside, and decided to do more good things like helping out cute girls, after all, he was a man of culture.

After saying goodbye to the mother and daughter pair, Satoru went home and thought about the events that occurred today. And while he was thinking about the abnormal earthquake he remembered he didn't buy the new chapters of his favorite novels and mangas, but he was already at his doorstep before he could realize it and cursed inside his mind at his forgetfulness.

'Haaaa I forgot about why I went to Akihabara in the first place, and it's all because of the stupid earthquake! why did it have to happen today of all days'

When Satoru entered his apartment he was shocked because of the mess his apartment was in, it seems the earthquake hit his apartment building too and now he had to clean everything up which will take time, he wanted to spend reading the novels and mangas he forgot to buy but now it seems he was forced to clean up.

After Satoru finished cleaning up he turned on the TV to hear the news while he made himself some lunch. While listening he heard about the earthquake, and for some unknown reason, none of the scientists could explain why it happened. All they said was that the earthquake was an unnatural phenomenon.

Satoru while listening shrugged it off and didn't really pay attention to the news until the casualty count was released which surprised him quite a bit because he was in the middle of the earthquake zone and he survived only running around and even had time to help, someone, he didn't know while over 100,000 people died and the realization hit him he was so close to dying just fifteen or so minute ago before returning home.

This hit Satoru hard because this was his first time being so close to death without even realizing that, he started sweating and his hands started trembling uncontrollably dropping the knife he was holding in his hand a moment ago. Satoru didn't feel hungry anymore he sat down in front of the tv and started listening while getting paler and paler after all he was only an ordinary man he was still a student in college he was in his second year in the art department, by most people he would still be labeled as a child that still hasn't seen life.

Satoru has lived his life alone for 3 years now because all of his family members died in a traffic accident while they were on a journey to Germany for vacation only Satoru survived because he stayed in Japan for an anime convention when he heard the news of his families passing he was devastated and couldn't function normally for a while until he discovered manga, anime, and novels he watched and has red some sad and depressing ones as well as some happy ones.

While time was ticking after some more time Satoru finally calmed down thanks to some anime and online friends he realized that he was still alive and his parents would want him to live a long and happy life. And this led Satoru to start studying and started enjoying his life a lot more than before, with this incident he started looking at things differently he understood the value of family and friendship, and for those, he valued he would do anything if needed.

After finally calming down Satoru decided it was time to sleep because he felt terribly tired mentally and physically so he went to his bedroom and fell on his comfy bed falling asleep a couple of seconds later.

Satoru hazily opened his eyes and was surprised to see that he was no longer in his room but in some strange white room.
