People talk about mysterious beings that dewelled in darkness. Who hide in the day but inhabit the world of night. The Youkai, the demons, jins and other metaphysical beings that appear in ancient histories, and stories that were told among ancient people and things they used to rever and fear. Some stories were forgotten, some stories still endure, whether these stories are true or not, no one knows, and that unknown maybe the greatest of the fears known to man and all other beings that exist.
A 20 year old boy named Leon was trying to sleep at 1 o'clock at night after watching watching last episode of (Nurarihyon no mago). He finished the whole series in 3 days. It was interesting and novel filled with myths histories and urban legends.He could not sleep thinking about all the Youkai , their tales, their fear, how they are born from stories and and how those stories become power. He dreamed about hearing their legends and discovering the forgotten tales. He has always been enthusiastic about mysteries, mysticism, ancient stories, and tales of supernatural beings that were said to inhabit this world in different mythologies and other supernatural tales.
Leon longed to witness them, talk to them, be a part of their stories and walk among them. So he watched movies, animes, and even went on Youkai hunting outings with his friends. He was obsessed with the supernatural world but he never encountered a single supernatural being or a Youkai.
He explored the ways to see them and communicate with them he explored their legends and wrote a personal dairy about his favorite stories. He couldn't find anything so he turned to animes movies and novels, so that he can experience them with the imagination of others. Fantasy was his favorite genre. Harry Potter, lord of the rings, marvel, no game no life, danmachi, fairy tail, Naruto, Witcher,game of thrones, teenwolf,nurarihyon no mago and the lord of mysteries among others were his favorite. But if had to name the best it would be nurarihyon no mago and lord of mysteries. He read them multiple times and even read may fanfictions. Just thinking about the ways these worlds unfold layer by layer made him euphoric.
Leon was lost in his imaginations and longings for quite some time until sleep claimed him.
He slept deeply only to wake up to see the clock striking 9. Leon jolted awake with a start." Oh crap I am late for the university. " And the class was at 9: 30. He ran out of his room brushed his teeth and washed his face. He slapped an egg on bread with mayonnaise with salt an pepper making a sandwich. He gobled it up in a minute, change his clothes and locked his door and rushed to the bus stop.
He was a orphan. It had been 2 years since his parents died in a car accident on a road trip. It was devastating but he pushed through it. And these legends , animes and novels became his way to forget his pain though he used to research them even before the accident. They had left him quite an inheritance, so he was living a comfortable life at the moment.
Leon was almost a at the bus station when when he saw the cradle walker with the baby in it rolling towards the road and a truck almost ready to strike three meters across him. Leon instinctively jumped towards the cradle and pushed it aside. He saved the baby but was smashed by the truck. Leon thought " is this legendary truck Kun that sends people to the other worlds
