Chapter 1: 2,000 Deaths

2,000 deaths are you mad? questioned the akashic mage.

Harris couldn't help, but grin at the mages words.

Mad? Maybe i am, but that's the price of winning.

The mage mirrored harris grin, then raised his right arm. Winning? How can a mortal win against me? Maybe that brain of your got turned to mush boy. He opened his clenched fist, then a four ancient golden spears appeared from his sides.

"Same old attack" Harris muttered.

The mage closed his palm, then all four the spears shot at harris at unnatural speed. Harris quickly took sand from the ground, then threw it at the spears, then all disappeared.

Huh!? But how did figure it out?

Harris grin widened. It's simple, you traded for absolute for getting killed by physical concepts. Then he ran towards the mage with glee.

"No! Impossible!"

Regulus ripped a page, then tosses it aside the busy classroom. "Too edgy" he said with boredom.

"Hey Regulus!"

His yellow eyes searched for the voice, then landed on a girl with a ridiculous haircut.

"What a ridiculous haircut" he thought. With a bored expression he replied 'Hi". "The only response to this attention starved creature" he thought.

She smiled at him waving.

Regulus looked away, then thought "why me? out of all the students here, what strange npc."

...

...

1:45 was the time she greeted me, now it's 3.50, and she glances at me in class.

"Ring! Ring!"

"Finally" he muttered.

He took his backpack, then out of the school building. Regulus looked up, then raised both arms up slanting them.

"Finally, some sweet air."

Wanna go out?

He felt a chill, then looked at his left side with a deadpan expression.

In a cold response he replied"no thanks."

The girl giggled, then responded "meet me at the arcade store at 7.00 ok?"

I-

She left with a satisfied smile on her face without waiting for a response.

"What a strange npc" he thought.

...

...

4 hours later, regulus arrived at the arcade.

'Hey! you made it."

'Don't mistake me for wanting to only accompanying you, i want snacks too" he said in a cold manner.

She smiled as if nothing he said mattered "ok, but let's go game first." With a wrapped arm around his left arm, she led him to a chair.

They both sat.

"If you want to know why i invited you hear beat me at the game."

'There was a reason" he thought.

They both started the games, then played.

...

...

...

"I win"

The girl turned to smile at him, but it came out kind of creepy instead.

"Creepy" he thought with a chilling feeling.

"Ask away"

Regulus relaxed on the chair, then thought.

"Why did you invite me?"

Her smile widen becoming more creepy.

"To make sure."

He raised a brow. "Make sure of what?" he spoke with indifference.

"That your the one for me"

He looked indifferent outside, but felt a unsettled by the supposed to be romantic response.

Suddenly, reality around him began to dissipate slowly to nothing.

"Wha... What the hell"

'Hey! Eyes on me ok?"

His gaze fixed back to her. Somehow her smile, and gaze became more creepier than previously.

"Who are you?"

"The Goddess of Secrets, The Keeper of Secrets, and Your new chapter in life."

Even with chills down spine, he couldn't help, but think "very incredibly vague dialogue."

"So, what will the great goddess will do now?"

"I want to form a contract with you" she said still smiling creepily.

"Contract? What for?"

She stretched out her arm with palm facing the right side.

Regulus began to think, while studying her expression.

"I want to know your name, what's your goal, oh, and what do i gain from contracting with you?"

The name is Akashic. My goal is too become the ultimate existence, and you gain a special power, but you will figure it out once we formed our contract.

"Akashic? Become Ultimate Existence? Special Power? What did i get myself into? regulus mettered"

"What if i don't?"

Akashic frowned "if that's what you want, then you can go back to living a bore of a mundane ordinary waste of a life slaving away."

"Hmm..."

...

...

...

Regulus dabbed her outstretched arm.

Suddenly, he felt pain on his palm, then pulled back instinctively.

Akashic clap her hands together with a delighted expression. 

Reality once dissipating now rebuilding. Regulus noticed the room turned white, then reality rebuilding, then everything looked different.
