Volume 1. The Mysterious Circle And A Woman

A teenage boy wearing a school uniform, walk very quietly towards home after coming home from school.

“Hmm…?” The young man saw a mysterious circle, right on the small road on his left side.

“….” The young man was very curious and approached the mysterious circle.

“Is this possible…”

After a few seconds of observation, the young man realized that it was a magic circle.

Elsewhere, a second schoolboy walks, and when he passes the outside glass of a supermarket.

He finds from the glass mirror, that there is a mysterious circle above his head.

“….” The young man looked in the mirror in the supermarket window, very narcissistically.

“I am an angel of darkness, no one can…” The young man stopped his words, realizing that everyone was looking at him.

“Look at that guy, he’s so weird.” Said a teenage girl in a school uniform, feeling disgusted with the young man.

The door to the house was open, another young man from school had just arrived home.

“So tired…” The young man sounded so tired and unenthusiastic.

“….” Taking off his shoes, and heading to the living room, the young man immediately lay down on the sofa without changing his clothes first.

The young man fell asleep on the sofa…

A similar magic circle appeared in a very dark place, and immediately took the school teenager out.

Bukkk…!

“This is the first time I’ve seen a magic circle that can chase people.” Said the first young man who saw the magic circle on the small road.

“Moreover, what is this place?” The young man was so confused.

“Can you get off my back?” Two soft voices were heard asking the young man to move. The voices were like holding something heavy.

“Rii, Vail! What are you doing here?” The young man was so shocked to find his two friends below him.

The young man who was sitting on Rii and Vail immediately moved aside to make his two friends stand up.

“Aaa!” Rii felt pain in one of his hands because it was stepped on by the young man who was trying to get up.

“Don’t blame me but blame this place for being so dark.” The young man told Rii not to complain to him.

After getting some space, Rii who was on top of Vail woke up first. And after that, Vail woke up and immediately cleaned his white shirt.

“This must be hard to clean, if not washed right away.” Vail patted his white shirt with both hands, feeling that his clothes were dirty.

“So, why are you guys here?” The young man was curious about his two friends who were in the same dark place.

“I’m the one who asked that, Cini. Why are you guys in this place?” Rii was curious and amazed by his two friends who were in a dark place.

“No, but I should be the one asking. What are you guys doing in my house?” Vail thought he was still in his house, and thought his house had a blackout.

“Damn…where is it?” Cini couldn’t find the phone which should have been in his school pants pocket and searched all the pockets of his clothes.

“Listen to this, I saw a magic circle right above my head,” Rii told what she experienced.

“Magic circle? At least you’re just bragging about it.” Vail didn’t believe in such superstition.

“Me too, I saw a magic circle on the small road. And when I wanted to leave, the circle came to me. Because I was afraid, I immediately ran as fast as I could, but this happened.” Cini told what he experienced.

“At least you’re just delusional,” Vail still couldn’t believe what Cini said.

“….” Cini, who kept searching, now found the phone which had placed in his right shoe to pass through the school gate.

Pressing the power button on the side of his phone.

Rii and Vail, who saw the light from the cell phone and Cini's face, immediately gathered around Cini.

“….” Cini was shocked to see his phone screen which was badly cracked.

“I just replaced it two months ago, but now it’s cracked again,” Cini said in a complaining and tired voice.

“You can change or buy new phone.” Vail was still calm and didn’t know anything.

“Talking is easy, what do you use to buy a phone screen? Leaves?” Cini was a little annoyed, because his cell phone cracked again.

"As long as it's still normal to touch, it's not an obstacle," Rii tells Cini not to complain.

"You..." Cini was tired when heard Rii's words.

Cini turned on the flashlight on his phone and lit up their surroundings. Vail was immediately surprised, that he was not at home.

“….” Cini led the way to get out of the darkroom that looked like a maze.

“…Is my nose broken or is there an unpleasant smell?” Rii wanted to make sure, his nose’s sense of smell was not problematic.

“I don’t smell anything.” Cini and Vail said they didn’t smell what Rii said earlier.

“How did you manage to escape the inspection conducted by the student council at the school gate?” Vail was so curious about Cini, because he always escaped the inspection.

“Secret, if I tell you. Maybe where I put my phone will be found out.” Cini still wanted to keep, where he kept the phone a secret.

They found two paths and agreed to go to the left one.

“…..” They started to smell an unpleasant odor from there.

Cini, who was walking, accidentally tripped over something, causing the cell phone in his right hand to fall and die.

“Very nice… even though you have a flashlight from your phone, but you are still unable to see the map.” Rii was annoyed with Cini, who could still stumble even though he had a phone light.

“If I knew, I wouldn’t have walked in front,” Cini said in a complaining voice again and annoyed.

“….” They crawled on the ground, looking for Cini’s fallen the phone.

“Wher--Aaa!” Cini’s left hand was stepped on by one of his friends.

“...use your eyes!” Cini didn’t know, who he was scolding in annoyance.

“Blame your hand for being there,” Vail told him not to blame himself, as his vision went dark again without any light.

“….” Vail’s two hands, which were still searching for the phone, found something.

“Hmm…? What is this—Aaa!” Vail screamed in fear and reflexively, jumped back like a frog.

“You surprised me, your scream made my left earring.” Cini reprimanded his friend who was screaming quite loudly.

"I felt like, I touched a human head earlier!" Vail told what his hands felt.

“Don’t scare me, Vail. It could be just a rock, and your brain is responding to it as a human head.” Cini tried to avoid unwanted things.

“Rii? Did you faint—Aaa…! MY EYES!” Cini’s eyes were hit by the light from his phone.

“Ah… sorry, I didn’t mean to, but I meant to.” Rii played around with the situation and stared at Cini’s eyes with the phone in his hand.

“….” Rii came to Cini, for help him stand up, but something else made Rii surprised.

“At least enlighten everyone —” Cini’s words stopped.

“DEAD BODY!” Rii screamed, seeing a piece of a human body behind Cini on the left side.

Without thinking, Rii pointed the flashlight in all directions. And they saw dozens of dead people with incomplete limbs.

“Did a massacre happen here?!” Vail said in a frightened voice, seeing dozens of bodies lying on the ground.

“Don't say that Vail. I can't stand hearing negative words anymore." Cini complained about Vail's words which led to sadistic murder.

“….” Rii, who was looking in all directions, accidentally saw a teenage girl lying on the ground, still intact and unharmed.

Rii walked towards the woman, with full caution. And made his two friends reluctantly follow behind.

“How can there be a woman in this horrible place?” Rii was so curious about the reason the woman was in that place.

“….” Vail took courage, slowly approaching the woman.

“What are you doing, Vail?” Cini was so scared and worried about Vail's actions.

Vail touched the woman's head and placed the index finger of his right hand under the woman's nose.

“She’s still alive,” Vail told his two friends.

“What if that woman is the murderer, Vail? We will die if she opens her eyes.” Cini didn't want to find something similar to the corpses he saw.

“Rii, can you help me?” Vail asked one of his friends to help him carry the woman.

“Okay…Cini, hold this.” Rii didn’t mind, before helping Vail. Gave the phone back to Cini.

“You guys must be kidding me, right?” Cini was still complaining and worried about his life.

Cini asked his two friends to leave the woman, rather than risk their lives.

“Cini, don’t you feel sorry? What if this woman is shocked to see this terrible thing, we are all equally scared.” Vail reprimanded his friend who always complained, to leave the woman.

“…I won’t be responsible if she’s the murderer.” Cini gave in and didn’t want to interfere with what his two friends were doing.

Vail and Rii took the woman's hands, placing each woman's hands on their shoulders.

They turned back to where they had been before and found a corridor that had sunlight.

After getting out of the maze, they found something. They were in a shady forest.

“…Why stop?” Vail was curious about Cini who stopped walking again.

“We’ve passed this place,” Cini told his two friends.

“Are you sure?” Rii wanted to make sure of what Cini said, because didn’t pay attention very clearly.

“…..” Cini approached the tree on his left side and gave a sign.

They walked again but ended up in the same place. Cini became upset, because saw the tree his marked.

“We got lost in this forest,” Cini said with great annoyance.

“We trapped in this wilderness?” Vail wanted to make sure.

“That's the fact,” Cini confirmed Vail's words.

“...let’s try going right,” Rii suggested.

They continued walking with Rii's words but ended up in the same place. They tried as much as they could until the day started to turn into evening.

“You insolent demon!” Cini threw his phone in annoyance.

“The devil you blame…” Vail felt so sorry.

“….” Rii saw a house made of wood and a roof made of dry leaves.

“Guys…look.” Rii pointed to right side.

They saw a house, and when they agreed to approach the house. A mysterious masked figure was seen behind them, who watched silently before disappearing.
