It was another Monday morning. As he stood under the usual spot, the mango tree which was probably the last witness of 'them' that he failed to bring back, the playful rays of the sun kissed the smooth skin of his gloomy face. Due to this, he had to end his daydreaming, open his eyes, then move one of his hands to shield them from the glaring light.He was currently on the campus, to be exact, the first year junior high block. Few people were around as it was still very early. At least, there were still about forty minutes before the flag ceremony and first classes. Since today's Monday, many students would be late, a consequence of enjoying their weekends too much. This worked to his advantage though as being seen by many people never registered on his plan.He approached the tree and crouched down. After that, he stared closely to one of the odd surfaces of the lower trunk and ran his right forefinger on it.There were words on it. To be precise, there were letters inscribed usin
Misty frowned at his answer but Eithan couldn't care anymore so he stepped to the side and tried to bypass her. Sadly, the pretty campus idol appeared not done with him yet and prevented him from leaving. This gained a cold look from him but another sadly, Misty seemed not one bit intimidated. It annoyed him though. At times like this, he couldn't appreciate the girl's outstanding persistence as it was very bothersome for him."What more?" he coldly asked, irritation welled up in his eyes but it was due to the annoying thing blabbering in his head.Unfazed by his attitude, Misty said, "You're acting too cold. I was just being concerned but this is how you treat me. That's bad. Truly. Aren't I someone acquainted with you at the least? Hey, remember," she then paused and jokingly added, "...we already had a date before. We even rode your bike when you sent me home?"He suddenly felt a severe headache due to the nonstop talking of the foreign alien in his mind. It greatly dampened his moo
From the current looks of it, the system has everything to do with Misty's confusing attitude. Sadly, its host that was trying to entice and impress seemingly didn't appreciate its information at all. Or maybe he did, for the part where the annoying girl was not intentionally being annoying, and also to where it said those hosts could actually do unscientific things to other people. It was not clear whether it was caused by the self-proclaimed system or Misty, but his already dark expression even got gloomier to the point the temperature was also dropping around him.If anything, Eithan was displeased. Whether the system or that host who played with him and made him remember some, he couldn't just have any good impression and was more reluctant to agree with this devil-like thing. If being a host means doing all sorts of shameful and immoral things to oneself and to others, then he'd gladly pass on it. This devil which completely like a scamming bastard could go to hell with his bank
For Misty Gomez, the whole morning of the new Monday was not really eventful but still nice. The School Fest had just concluded so not many teachers lectured today, most faculty members were concerned on the cleanup or pointers to review for the semestral final exams on Thursday and Friday. If the teacher was more inclined to do the latter, then it means students would be left to revise their reviewers by themselves. As if students would obediently do that!Naturally, since a revision session means no teachers would be around, the students could freely chatter the period away and not write the pages worth of summaries. It was around 11:25 am when someone from the student council called for Misty. That time, the girl was busy laughing along with her friends about a socialite girl that pooped naked in one of the rooms at a party. She was totally having fun discussing the comments in FB so when someone wanted to call her away, she was reluctant to part with her gossipmates. Sadly, she wa
It was finally four in the afternoon, all the classes for this Monday ended and the students were dismissed. Unfortunately, Eithan was one of the cleaners for the day so he had to stay and helped out in one of his most hated chores - floor waxing. He didn't know what kind of bad luck struck at him today but even after fulfilling his assigned role, the Monday committee leader made him carry all the cleaning tools back to the storage room by himself. The leader reasoned out they would be the ones to arrange the armchairs and tables back in. In the end, he could only blame himself for not going that extra mile to skip the remaining classes."Let me help you!"It was right amidst the flight of stairs headed towards the ground floor that a girl with wavy long hair stood in his way and said this. A dazzling smile...was not on her face, instead, she still looked like someone commanding her underling. "Consider it my apology, so let me help."'If you want to offer a hand, why just when that
"Are you headed for the Faculty Room?"Suddenly the female senior asked, a smile was hung on her perfectly shaped red colored lips. Her pupils faintly lit up, literally, for a very brief moment. Were it not for the devil in his head warning him, he might have missed the oddness in her tone and eyes. Because of its reminder, he didn't bother nodding at the famed campus beauty and just stormed into the room. He didn't expect though to be greeted by the sight that he only often saw from a movie.There were screams coming from everywhere. More than ten Faculty members dressed in blue teacher's uniform were huddling at one side in groups of threes or fours. Papers, pens, and even chairs were messily scattered on the floor, and on one corner of this mess, somewhere near the other door from the left, was a beautiful long-haired girl. She was facing his direction so he could somehow see the real situation. Her hair was a mess, and her eyes obviously lacking in focus. Another person was next t
Eithan almost exclaimed. There was no need to wonder about the third puzzle because the system already answered it. This pretty female student who was notorious for her violent tendency was trying to mind-control him as well the first time he saw her faintly glowing eyes. He closed his own eyes and calmed his chest. His feet were already slowly backing away from the girl, to the direction of the Faculty. However, before he concluded whether to completely run away from her or run back to the Faculty, he first asked the system in his head,'She's the one who controlled Miss Gomez to randomly kill, right?
So what happened to Misty after Eithan brief disappearance there?A few minutes ago, roughly the same time as when the gloomy guy first received notice of Misty's plight from the unbound system, Agatha Moore also got notified by her ever so sarcastic and grumpy companion and unlike Eithan who only came to know about this due to his qualifying quest, Agatha's was due to agreeing with the system's automatic point deductions to alert her whenever Paul, Misty, and Amanda were in danger. It was past four fifteen pm. She was waiting for Misty in the room and chatting with some of her classmates about the hottest topic in the country when the news of Misty getting mind-controlled by a host got reported to her. The name of the controller was not said outright, but she didn't even have to guess that it was Maurice Jensen, the only host hostile to her.'That darn woman!!! Dammit! If... If she dares harm my best friend, I'll... I...'She bit her lips as she dared not say what she would do in ca
