Chapter 1 - Chapter 01: Hey there, your name was Shimizu-kun, wasn't it?...

It's cold, and my body gets heavier as every second passes.

*Cough* *cough*

I can hardly breathe but, that's more that I can ask for with a bullet hole wider than a lemon all the way from my chest to my back...

Should I praise the body of a "Hero from another world" for surviving something that would had killed a normal adult just from the shock? I mean, staying conscius in these circumstances is really something...

Or maybe should I complain for the absurdity of THAT? driving into a corner one of said heroes just by pulling a trigger with his fingers.

[I mean... It's just, not fair...]

I had an army of thousands of monsters.

It should have, like an avalanche, destroyed everything on its way, but THAT crushed everything with just his raw power, a power that should not exist in this world!

[Damn chuni-bastard... Why couldn't I get that-]

*Cough*

Complaining while I cough the blood that invaded my right lung from the brand new hole made on it by that guy, someone approached me as I lie on the flor.

??? [Hey there, your name was Shimizu-kun, was'n it?]

Replacing the sky that I could not help but watch quietly, came the face of a guy around my age, crouching closer to me with his hand at the height of his face as if greeting.

He most probably didn't came to my aid from the demon race's side, he looked like a normal human with black hair and somewhat plain features on his face. If not for the uncommon blue color of his eyes, I would even swear he looks japanese.

That can't be, as I know every japanese that was summoned to this fantasy world.

And last, he have a smile on his face, but I don't get what's so funny.

Yukitoshi [....]

Who cares about some weird guy that came out of nowhere.

For some reason he knows my name, but I'm not interested in a mysterious MAN even if he came to my rescue.

Come back when you become a pretty girl-

*Cough* *cough*

Damnit, I'm dying here... This was supposed to be the chance I was waiting for.

Summoned to another world as a hero, obtaining the power of magic, everything was supposed to be in place for me to just follow up, even so, here I am, dying on the ground with a dude I don't know talking to me.

??? [Hey, are you ignoring me? Come on, you know you are dying, right? Don't be so picky. I'll cry you know...]

Yukitoshi [(Then don't be so relaxed while someone is dying in front of you...)]

#####

What started as a normal school day turned into the whole class suddenly being kidnapped by a sect from another world to fight some guys from other races, using our "Classes" and magic powers that come with them, all for the sake of a "human kingdom" we didn't care for, by the orders of a wannabe God we didn't knew about.

When it comes to novels or games this is just a plain reused setting, but in reality it was a dream come true for an otaku like me.

It was impossible not to get hipped over all this...

When everyone learned the class they obtained, I was not the but a instead.

Somehow it didn't even surprised me when that Amanogawa Kouki got the class, but it was still annoying.

The power I obtained, , was weak.

Even when not the weakest like that Nagumo Hajime's or not as boring as Taniguchi Suzu's barriers, it focused mostly on debuff enemies so that they become "easier" to take down, what got all my attention is that it was specially good to control others, but again with the problem that if not given enough time and efort, it was just "easier" to control.

To put salt on the wound, even when they didn't said it to my face, to my classmates (especially to girls) it was a villain-like "coward and creepy" power.

Well, they wheren't THAT wrong, I totally thougth it would be fun to use this Dark magic to try those "creepy" things on the girls from the class.

Well those things happen a lot too, a protagonist that have a slow start as a supposedly weak character ends up proving his worth to everyone in a moment of crisis and gets an harem full of beautiful vigin girls...

There was still some hope to hold on to.

When we went to explore a labyrinth for the first time, a wild crisis appeared thanks to Hiyama's miraculous luck, but again I could not do shit and just became a pityful mob in the crowd.

Even when that bullied kid of Nagumo pretty much eclipsed Amanogawa in front of everyone, at the end he died tough.

What a dumbass...

I'm different from him, I definitely won't die like a stray dog.

But I need the time and the freedom to sharpen my magic, and gain more power, that, by the nature of my magic, would mean finding servants to control.

Conquering the labyrinth together with that Hero would make things harder for me, especially with Shirasaki Kaori and her odyssey in search for Nagumo, that would eat up my time to the bones.

She know he is dead right? Is she looking for the corpse so she can ask Nakamura to turn him into a zombie later or something?

I took the chance to get away when our theacher's, Hatayama Aiko's bodyguards where formed to escort her around while she uses her class and skills to help the people of the kingdom.

Moving around gave me the chance to experiment with my magic on monsters, and maybe soon give it a try to demi-humans, like beast-man that are sold as slaves in town, maybe put my hands on a beast-eared girl, like a cat-girl or a rabbit-girl, it would be good...

But that would have taken time and money so I started with monsters in the forest...

One day, I sneaked out while no one was watching to explore the forest close to the town (Wich name I didn't care enough to remember), to look for monsters to practice my magic, when I was called by someone saying to be from the Demon race, our supposed enemies, with a deal for me.

If I kill Hatayama Aiko and blame her for the destruction and slaughter of the town, the Demon race will gladly take me as their Hero.

Being sudden as it was I had my doubts, but at the end, I accepted.

he was giving to me not only the chance, but the resources to prove myself and finally be recognized and rewarded how I deserve, I even had the luck to find a sleeping dagon that I took my sweet time to put under my control.

This was it, this was definitely the crossroad in which my story begins...

Yukitoshi [I will kill Hatayama Aiko, I'll kill my classmates, I'll kill the knights, and blame on them the townspeople that I'll kill too]

I felt close to no remorse as I said those words, and actually had a creepy grin on my face.

I'm not even close to my classmates, not to say the knights that accompany us or the townspeople as I don't give a crap about them.

When it comes to Aiko-sensei though, it's diferent.

Aiko-sensei's body is small and cute, not just her outward looks but her personality too, always trying to be the adult teacher with that apearence makes her even more charming, so of course she would be popular with her students... But not all of them.

While not much, she even tried to talk to me sometimes, probably so I approach my classmates more...

I really HATED all that about her.

The way she puts a complicated face when she tries something, as if to show she is working hard, or how she smiles while she talk to you as if she was doing someting great, even when she will just forget everyone and everything she said to them.

Just another hypocrite like any other theacher out there... Truth be said, she cried her brains out when she heard how Nagumo died while she wasn't there to help him.

MAYBE she really care, MAYBE she will remember each and every one of her students dearly, she will remember Nagumo and the regret that she felt when he died, or even me as the gloomy student that didn't fit in the class that I am, wondering what became of me.

MAYBE that pitiful "teacher love" will be the most genuine thing I'll receive in my whole life.

Yukitoshi [Whichever it is, it doesn't matter...]

Be it that Aiko-sensei is an hypocrite or the kindest teacher in the world, she could not win me over at the end.

The reason is as simple as I not having the slightest interest in being just another one of many, I want to stand out from others, I want to be special, so no matter how much she think she understand me, nor how honest her words or feelings are, treating me as just another student will take her nowhere.

Had we stayed on Japan, maybe something would change, maybe after some time of being talked to, or getting my business butted into enough times, I would take an interest in her, and maybe even start to like her...

But not any more...

Not here in this world of magic, and not now that I have power.

Be it love, loyalty or wealth, I don't have to look for it, no need to work, beg or hope for it.

In this world and with my magic, if I want something I can just take it.

I don't need to deal with classmates that look down on me, a half-assed hero, or with an annoying teacher.

They'll be the stepping stones, the sacrifices that I'll pay to fulfill my desire, that's what I had decided.

Be it pretty words or strength, nothing can stop me...-

-That's how it was supposed to be, but that chuni-bastard got in my way, and screwed everything.

At the end I was dragged by that guy while tied to a bike he somehow got his hands on as if I was a pile of trash, and even after that, sensei and everyone else just said whatever they wanted, but I didn't care.

On the first chance I had, I used sensei as an hostage, I just needed to get away, but then the rabbit girl that came with the chuni-bastard tried to say something and got knocked out when a magic attack came from the direction my back is facing, landing on her face.

Distracted by that, sensei got away from me, I tried to catch her but that chuni bastard shoot me right on the chest...

#####

Guns, vehicles, an harem.

where did that guy came from? Why here? Why now? Why?Why?Why?WHY?WHY?!WHY?!WHY?!!!!

It's not freaking fair!!!

An harem is already something, but everything else is bullshit!!

This is a damn fantasy world!!

Guns are cheating!!

If that damn cheater were to take out a nuke out of freaking thin air there is no way I can win even with two or three armies!!

??? [Oops, is good to be healthy but you're wasting blood... At this rate you'll die faster]

Yukitoshi [(Shut up, you're noisy, why are you still here?)]

I worked hard, really hard, I was ready to pay anything, to get rid of anything on my way to achieve my goal, even with the Demon race's deal, it was me that decided to do so by myself.

If I decide something by myself and work hard to achieve it no matter the cost, I'm supposed to win at the end, right? it's common sense so why am I dying here?

??? [Hm? so after getting angry, now you're crying, getting cozy aren't you? Those guys haven't looked over here even once either...]

Yukitoshi [*Sob*...Shut... Up...]

I can feel some warm on my face, specially so when my body is so cold.

It angers me being seen like this, he's smiling softly as if happy with my reaction.

??? [Is it guilt? No, if death or half dying was enough to regret the bad things you did, then bad ghosts, or hell would not exist.]

That's right, I don't regret what I did, why should I? I did what I wanted to do, to obtain what I wanted to have...

That's what I can't stand.

I regret that after all I did, I ended up failing.

Yukitoshi [...*Sob*... *Sob*]

Am I gonna end like this, dying so early in the game? Am I gonna rott here and be forgotten, like a cheap mid-boss on the second floor of a dungeon? Why did it had to be me the one in the wrong? Why did I end up losing like this? This is too much, this is just mean...

??? [This may be a little late but, do you want a second chance?]

For a moment I didn't get what he said.

Second chance, is he gonna help me?

??? [It doesn't matter the reason, wishing to amend the bad things you did and make up for the people you hurt... The desire to try again what you failed at once, this time crushing everything, killing everyone and taking all for yourself... Not wanting to die is good enough, or even all of them... Whichever is fine...]

He got up and looked down to me, his expression was diferent from before, it wasn't dark as much it was serious, his eyes had a strange light in them, it fells as if I couldn't look away even trying...

Maybe I'm just seing things.

??? [Whatever your motivation may be, it doesn't matter. If you want to be helped, then I will help you, in exchange I don't need pretty words nor rewards, in front of despair and death any human can say or trow away anything they have]

He then reached out his hand to me while still standing.

??? [I just need you to show me... Only out of love will someone help you if you don't want to help yourself... I only ask you as much as to take my hand, easy right?]

"Easy right?" like hell it is, is he blind? Are those eyes decorations? And why the cherful tone at the end? I'm bleeding to death from a damn hole in my chest!! Being still alive is already weird, my body is so heavy I can barely move my neck.

??? [If a wish have enough worth for you, be it losing some blood, a hole in your chest or even missing your lower half, if you had the chance to fulfill it just by reaching out your hand, that much is nothing, at least that's what I think... If you think so too, take my hand... Right now, no one watching, even if you scream, cry, or die... No one Will know except for me... I won't curse at you for what you did, right now you don't need shame nor pride, no matter how messy your face turns from crying... Or how deep you crawl in mud and dirt... If you give all your heart for the sake of fulfilling a dream, even if everyone says your dream is dirty and reject you, I won't... Even if everyone laugh at you... I won't laugh...]

Yukitoshi [...]

...What... Is he saying?... Is he being serious when he says all this?... Is he dumb?... Fulfilling a dream and so... To start with I don't have something like that, even so he says he will help me when he doesn't know me? Is he fucking around with me? Does he want to se me struggle so he can laugh at me? Well too bad, it's impossible, after all I can't move any more, it's too heavy, I'm too tired... It's over...

For a moment, for what should be a fraction of a second, I looked at his eyes, what I saw, for a moment I couldn't understand it... Even after understanding it, I just couldn't....

his eyes looked as if he really was expecting something from me...

Yukitoshi [(Hey, are you serious, ARE YOU FREAKING SERIOUS!! JUST WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!?)]

His hand didn't move.

Yukitoshi [(You know no shit about me! What makes you think you can just pop out of nowhere and say whatever you want!?)]

His hand didn't move.

Yukitoshi [(Get the fuck out of here!! I don't want to see your face!! I don't want YOU to see me when I end up dying like a damn dog!!)]

His hand didn't move.

Even when I tried to kill him with my eyes he didn't move, be it his hand, face or his eyes, he didn't even blinked. He knows what happened right? He saw what I tried to do, how I failed and how that ended for me, right? Then how can he expect something from me. Is "that" right? it has to be "that", his voice, his eyes, everything says he is one of those, the type that I hate the most, a "good person".

Everything he said right now, is probably the truth, and I can't stand that. How can there be someone so dumb as to trust someone they didn't know? How can they hope something from them? I can't understand, and can't be like that, that's why I hate them, people like Aiko-sensei and this guy.

Even so, his hand didn't move.

Yukitoshi [...Ngu...]

With whatever strength I had left... I moved my right hand.

At that moment his eyes twitched, this is really stupid.

Yukitoshi [(You said whatever is fine didn't you? Then so be it, next time I won't lose)]

I keep rising my hand to rech his that hasn't moved an inch.

Yukitoshi [(Even if that chuni with his harem come at me, this time I'll win, I'll kill him if I want to! I'll take everything from him if I want to!)]

My whole body hurts, I can fell the blood leaving my body, but I don't want to stop yet.

Yukitoshi [(Amanogawa or everyone in the class, it doesn't matter!! I'll make them regret looking down on me... And you...)]

I'll make you regret saving me...

Yukitoshi [...NguugguuuooaaaAAA!!...]

Before I notice, my mouth start releasing a lame screaming voice, too weak to reach someone except for the person in fron of me.

In a last push, just a little more and my finger will reach him... Just a little more...

Shimizu [...A- a... re...?]

It was just a little more... But when my finger as much as grazed his hand... Everything became pure white...

Shimizu [(...It was... Not enough...?)]

I'm sure my hand fell after that, I could not hold that hand. everything is white and so peacufull... But I feel regret... I really wanted to reach that hand... Even so, I don't feel sadness or fear... It just feels, really warm...

??? [Yea, that was enough...]

When I open my eyes, I'm being carried on his back. There is a faint light aroud me, the warm feeling is probably-

Shimizu [(...Recovery magic...?)]

??? [You were really cool just now]

Shimizu [(...No way that's true...)]

After that, I lost consciousness...
