Thud!
A loud sound erupted in the back seat of the classroom, causing everyone to be surprised.
And then.
"Pfft!!! What the heck, man! Did you dream of falling or something?" said my classmate.
And everyone burst into laughter
Shit, this is embarrassing.
"Alright, everyone, be silent. And Lang, did you fall asleep during my lesson again? Is it really that boring?" said my teacher.
"AH! No, sir... I'm just tired and didn't get enough sleep last night, sorry, sir," I said
"...sight if you really sorry then write me a 5000-word essay reflecting on your action today," he said
"WHAT!?" which in turn, I burst out yelling.
"Got a problem?" he asked,
"Uhm... no, sir. I'll finish it by tomorrow."
"Good, now back to the lesson at hand," he said, satisfied.
And the lesson resumes as is.
Ring!Ring!
Mhm? Break time already?
"Alright, class! That's it for today's lesson, and lang! Don't forget my 5000-word essay, got it?" he said before leaving
"Yes, sir...." I replied with a hint of sadness,
sigh, I should get something to eat
As I was about to leave my seat. Someone came rushing from behind and slapped my shoulder.
ough! what the hell, that hurts
I turned to look who it was and found out it was Mang, my best friend.
"Hey, bud! What chu dreaming? For you to jump like that, that was funny! Haha!" said Mang
"Alright, alright. I'll tell you," I said
"OH!" he exclaimed, then brought a nearby chair to sit near my table
"I'm listening!" he said, smiling from ear to ear.
"You seem excited," I said
"You bet I am," he said
Before I can begin the story to my friend, another classmate joins in.
"Can I have a listen to this too?" he said and then followed by another.
"Oh, me too!" "I wanna listen in!" "Same here."
Now, half of the class surrounded me. dang
"You got quite the audience here. Want me to buy something for you?" said hout, also my best friend.
"Yes, 1 bottle of cola please," I told him.
"Alright! Now gimme the money," he said.
And I handed him the cash.
"Also, your sister here"
mhm? yina here?
"Hey, bro.... what's up with the gathering? Some kind of ritual"
"Yeah! Wanna join?" said one of my classmates jokingly.
And everyone started laughing.
"Haha, we just wanna hear Lang Dream," said one of the girls
"My brother's dream?" Yina replied, interested
"Oh? Even Yina is also interested?" said one of the boys
"Yes... Because I just had a dream too..." said Yina
which got me interested too, so I went ahead and bluntly asked her.
"Too? Does it have a giant planet with multiple moons and a ring?" I asked
which caused Yina to show a shocking face.
"Y-yes, but why are you so spot on?" asked Yina
"Ah, sorry, cause that's what I dreamed," I said
And everyone around us got even more interested.
"A shared dream...." murmurs everyone.
And so we started talking about it until break time over and the school bell rang.
"Ah, breaktime over, but man, that is one heck of a dream you guys are having," said Mang,
haha... it indeed is one heck of a dream.....
Now that I think about it. That dream felt... very long, it's like... im been there for 20 whole years.
Also, what's taking Hout so long? A bottle of cola shouldn't take this long to buy.
As I was thinking about it. A classmate came barging in and yelled,
"Everyone! to your seats! The principal is coming!"
Everyone is tense and starts going to their own seat.
"Yina! You should go back to your class, too," I said
"Yes!" she replied. And started running.
But then.
A sound, which caused everyone to stop in their track. an engine sound... and plane engine sound, and it's getting louder and louder and then.... the whole building started shaking
"What the!? Yina!" I said and started dashing to Yina to shield her
everyone started yelling.
And the next moment.... the whole building came crashing down.
I felt a bone-crushing pain in my back as I shielded Yina, then everything went black.
Later on that day, it is considered the most tragic death in history, a plane crash in an urban city killing over 5,000 people or more and injuring more than 10,000. And it is also the day that marked the change in the world.
A gate..... has opened.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Somewhere in the dark plain, snowy land on an unknown world.
There walked a man, dressed in black. Coated from head to toe in a thick coating. Carrying a scythe with a lantern attached to it on one hand and the other... carrying a book... a grimoire.
And that grimoire... started to glow intensely.
!?
And then... a crack in the sky burst open, and then a beam of light shone in the night sky.... lighting up the land for a second. Then... nothing... as if everything that happened just now was an illusion. The sky was normal, everything was normal. Except for the grimoire that keeps on glowing in his hand.
But the man... he frowned as he looked at the north.
"the northern towered gate...."
He murmurs,
Something big happened... is it the doc doing?
He asked as he looked at the glowing grimoire.
And then he opened the book. And then..... light burst out, moving as if alive.
"Well.... that's a lot of unwanted soul."
Yes... They are the soul of the dead.
"and they... not of this world... hmm... earth"
That's right, these are the souls of the people who die on earth
Well, I don't know who did this, but... with these many unknown souls, surely it will cause a big chain of effect in this world.... and I would love to see that change.
Something that is not bound by this world's fate.
I shall watch and guide these lost souls, so it's time to wake from your slumber and be reborn anew.
Everyone... I welcome you to the world of "TELIFT"
