Summary:I know that I should be dead when I plunged into the ocean. So why is Camie and some other mermaid looking at me like they've seen a bird swim?

STORY STATOO!
I fixed my very thick glasses as walk down the hallway of my university. Class had been so very boring. I sighed. I heard murmurs and whispers from the students, probably talking about me. Not that I could blame them, though, I mean who wouldn't look if someone wore a black coat in school?
"SITRI~CHAN!" I heard a very obnoxious voice, and pulled my hood lower. Soon enough, a body slammed into mine, squishing the life out of my poor body.*sniffles*
"...C...hase.." Eyes twitching, I looked at him -not that he could see my face-. He grabbed my hand and sprinted away, dragging me away. I sighed again and closed my eyes, wishing everything would be over soon.
"Chase...where are we, I mean...,you, going?" I asked.
"Canteen, of course. It's four in the afternoon,...and I AM HUNGRY!"
"Chase, I'm not hungry...I just ate..." I lied. Unfortunately, Chase is my [friend] since kindergarten, so he easily saw through my lie.
"Liar~Liar.. Sitri-chan, stop lying. I know you haven't eaten for days. Is your mother drunk again last night?"
I bit my lower lip and nodded. He smiled and walked faster towards the huge canteen. "Then, since you don't have allowance, it's my treat!" I stared at his broad back before smiling to myself. Not that he could see under my hood. Chase is really my best friend.
-the line-
As soon as we entered the university canteen, obnoxious bright light and loud chattering welcomed us. I unconsciously hid behind Chase. For some reason, I always hated bright and noisy places, I prefer dark and quiet places. Chase, on the other hand, seemed to spring to life.
"Sitri-chan~ Let's eat ramen!" He jumped up and down, making some of the students turn our way.
"O-okay...just don't shout.." I whispered to him.
He ruffled my hooded hair. "Hai, hai~ It's not like your eardrums would explode with loud noise." I imagined what would happen if my eardrums did explode. I shivered. Okay, I don't want my eardrums to explode.
I mentally shook my bad thoughts away and pointed a finger at Chase's chest. "And I thought you were going to buy me some ramen?"
Chase seemed to be taken aback. "Okay? Then let's buy the onion ramen." As soon as he said 'onion', my red eyes sparkled . "Hmm!"
We went to a large stall in the farthermost part of the canteen with red laces and yellow decorations. A large sign on top of the stall wrote 'Ramenya'. I inhaled the wonderful scent of ramen. "Grandpa, I want to buy two orders of onion ramen!" Chase shouted, startling the old man seated at the back of the stall. After calming his heart, he nodded and stood up.
"Li Huang, if you would."
A beautiful girl about 5'7 with wavy brown hair tied into a ponytail appeared behind the old man. She waved at us. Chase waved back with a beaming smile, but I just nodded in recognition. Soon, two bowls of steaming ramen came to our table. The same girl awhile ago served us.
"Hi! I'am Li Huang and I came from South Korea. I heard a lot about you guys from hal-abeonim^."
Chase fixed his messy brown hair before holding both of Li Huang's hands. flirt. "My beautiful lady, how nice is it to meet you. A humble servant, Chase Meagaduin, at your service." She didn't seem to be bothered by the public display of affection, but the irk mark on her forehead gave it away. I snorted.
Oops.
Both turned to me. "...I..am Sitri. Just Sitri." I fiddled with the hem of my coat..
"I heard about you from hal-abeonim! You're the guy that is being dragged by Chase-kun. Nice to meet you, Sitri-kun."
I stood up and bowed. "You...too. Nice to meet you, Li-san. Or is it Li huang-san?" I scratched my hooded head. "Whatever." I sat down and began to eat my food.
It. Is. Heaven.
No food for three days, I felt that I have ascended to heaven. And I thank Chase-sama for bringing me here. I animecried. Li Huang and Chase sweatdropped.
She bowed. "Then have a nice meal" was said and she walked away. But before she left, Chase shouted, "Do you want us to go home together?" It seemed to be a surprise to her, as she dropped the tray she was holding. "Sure! By the gate?"
"By the gate!" Chase shouted back. I sighed. Such noisy people. As I was eating heaven, a strand of noodle fell to the floor. Everything seemed to be in slow motion, the noodle, then followed by the bowl, the whole thing.
Okay. My life ended.
The end.
I fell down and cried at my spilt lunch. "I...I loved you, but you left me...! Why are you so...cruel?" A gray rat crept up to me and picked up the strands of noodles, making an awkward escape. Not to mention hilarious. "Spawn of devil! You dare...You dare?" I animecried again. "THIS IS NOT THE MOVIE RATATOUILLE!? Why is Remy here? Go back to your movie, this is my fanfiction!" I bolted out of the canteen.
Okay, okay. Maybe that was overreacting. But hey, who wouldn't if you haven't ate for three days? And No. One. gets my onion ramen. Not even the floor. Not even Remy (though I love him)
As I ran with tears flowing, I thought of my actions. Waahhhh, I am officially dead. I just humiliated myself in front of everybody! My face turned beet red. I sped up, leaving a trail of dust behind me. For now, I'll just go back to the apartment. Hopefully, my mother would be too drunk to care or she would out gambling. As I was running, I heard a beep from my phone. I took it out and stared at my screen.
"New one piece update? Chapter 809... Yess~~~~!" I licked my lips and giggled. Today must be a lucky day.
I slowly opened the door to our apartment. It was dark. Good, so my mother is out. I closed the door and tossed my shoes aside. I grabbed a mug and headed to the kitchen, something covered my mouth.
"Mngh!"
Everything went dark.
-the second line-
AaaaaaaAAAAAAargggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhg.
AAAaaaaaaaaaAAArgggghhGGHHHhhhhhhhhh.
My head fucking hurts.
I opened my eyes. It was bright, veerryyy bright. I shielded my eyes from the light. Wait, I shielded? I lowered my eyes and saw my gray shirt with the words 'Fuck off my shirt' on it. No coat. Nope.
Oh, someone took off my co-"WHAT?" I screeched. Then someone must have saw my face...my ugly face.
"Boss, he is awake." I turned my head and saw a man with a funny hairdo. Like Marco. Oh, Marco, have you come to Japan to spread your sexiness? NO. This is not Marco. He is not sexy. At. All.
And I still need to read chapter 809 of One Piece! Let me go home, Marco imposter!
"Then, this must be the child of Maria." A tall man wearing a black suit entered the scene. He got a cigarette and started to smoke, making me cough at the smoke. "At least he looks cute. Now that I see him closer, he looks like a girl."
He yanked my silver hair so that I am facing him. I glared at him with all my strength -which is to say not much- "Disrespectful brat." He kicked me in the stomach. "Is that how you treat someone who borrowed your mother money?" He spat.
Money? Oh, my mother must have borrowed from him. So he's going to tell me to tell my mother to pay up? Nope, that's not gonna work. I just hope that the amount is not that much, so I can just work part-time jobs.
I sighed. "H-how..much?" I croaked out. He smirked and stepped on my face, crushing some of the bones. "150 million yen."
WHAT?!
Okay, Sitri, calm down. WHY SHOULD I CALM DOWN? I earn one million yen annually from a lot of part-time jobs, so I need one hundred fifty years to pay the debt?! I still haven't calculated the fact that I need to pay my mother's other debts!
"I'll pay it...just give me time.." I panted.
The man removed his feet from my face -thank god- and walked away. "It's already paid. Your mother did. With you that is. YAHAHAHAHA!" He got an old phone and threw it to me. "Listen to it." I shakily opened the phone.
What did he mean? My mother paid the debt with...me?
"*bzzzt*...I don't...money...*bzzt*...I sell my son to you...that brat...not worth *bzzt*...train...him...he makes *bzzt*...lot money. He...very...faithful...Just...don't..hurt me" the line went dead.
My blood froze. So that's how it is. I'm just someone dispensable in mother's eyes. If mother discards me, then, I've got no more reason to live. She's the only person that I've worked hard for. Well, Chase too. If she abandons me, then, I might as well abandon myself. I don't hate...my mother. I still love her...right?
So what is this feeling bubbling up of me?
So why did I punch the man in the suit? Why am I crying? Why am I running away? Why...am I trying to escape?
"GET THAT BRAT! HE'S TRYING TO ESCAPE!" The man shouted to his guards. Guards immediately surrounded me. I pushed one away with my elbow. I ran to the wooden door and used my body to break it. I ran outside and smelled seawater.
What?
I looked around and saw blue. I facepalmed. Ouch...ouch my face hurts. Of course they would consider me trying to escape. I was standing in the edge of the cliff, with many guards stalking towards me like a ninja. And a tiger. A ninja tiger? Below me was the blue ocean that stretched into the horizon. Rocks were crumbling under my feet. Guards were nearing me. I was shaking.
I sighed.
Life...is just so troublesome.
Gravity overpowered me as I fell into the ocean. Freezing water stung my nerves, and the force of falling came crashing down on me. Maybe this isn't so bad, after all. My mother escaped a huge debt because of me. I smiled as the darkness consumed me. I...just hope...that my mother would remember me.
- the 3rd line-
As soon as our protagonist Sitri fell into the ocean, the guards stopped. "Sire, it seems that he committed suicide." They relaxed and saluted to the man in the suit.
"It seems so. Maria needs to pay her debt."
The waters that were previously calm roared to life, slapping on the base of the cliff in anger. The place that Sitri fell in swirled and a whirpool appeared out of nowhere. In the eye of the whirpool, black tentacles started to come out. Soon, the whole ocean turned black by the mysterious tentacles. The fishes floated up with only bones remaining.
The guards and the tall man entered their base, not noticing the weird phenomenon. The Marco imposter, though, had eyes bigger than saucers. He thought he knew fear in the form of his boss, but now, he knew true fear.
-the fou~rth lalaline-
Okay. I'm dead. Not that great, right?
I opened my eyes and saw darkness. No form of light anywhere. A small smile unconsciously graced my lips.
I'm with darkness. But wait, isn't my life supposed to be flashed in front of me? Is that only a myth? Or what if God didn't see my life as interesting so he just tossed it to the garbage can?!
Uhh...
I massaged my temples. "I'm dead, right? Heh. As if anyone would answer me."
"No you are not dead, Sitri." a voice appeared out of nowhere. Blue fire surrounded me as they danced around me.
"What? Who the hell are you? Come out!" I narrowed my eyes. The blue fire started to glow a beautiful cyan and it formed into a man. He bowed at me. "I am the previous Lord. Linguren D. Rulterous."
I sweatdropped. "It sounds like lingerie." He grabbed my shoulders and started to wail. "It's not lingerie. It's
L-in-gu-ren! You're the 5010th person to say that!"
I smiled and patted his head. His shoulder length black hair was surprisingly soft. He sounded just like Chase. "Sorry, sorry, Rult-san." He sniffled. "Then, Rult-san, what do you mean I am not dead?" I asked.
He looked at me with those deep red orbs and moved his hand in a circular motion. Black tentacles crawled on his arm. After a while, the tentacles disappeared and in his hand was a giant scythe. Even the dumbest person could figure what that is.
A death scythe.
Has he come to take my life? I know that I should be afraid, but for some reason, I was captivated by it. The scythe was about ten feet, with red linings on the blade. Probably dried blood. It had an ominous aura, but it calmed me. "What about it." I spoke. Rulterous smiled and whispered, "it's time for you to go to your master." The scythe disappeared. "Sitri, do you who I am?"
I shook my head. "Ah...I am Rulterous, the previous Lord of Trexerous. Earth knows me as the 'grim reaper' for I take away the lives I think that are already expired. But 150 years ago, I died. And since then, I've been waiting for you, Iganies D. Sitri, to take the throne as the 'Lord' of the Trexians." He explained. "Oh. The reason why you aren't dead is because I protected you...but it is mainly because part of the real you was awakened. I just used the burst of power to connect to you now."
I nervously laughed. "HahHaa. I decline. And thank you for protecting me, by the way."
"WHAT?!"
"I said I decline to this...Lord position." I said. He looked as if he had been slapped by his girlfriend. "B-but Trexerous has no Lord for over 150 years already! You need to accept- no-you have no choice!"
I shook my head. "One, I don't like killing innocent people, Two, if you can still talk to me here, why don't you go back to being Lord of the Trexe-thing."
"No, I can't. Because this me now is inside of you. Once a Lord dies, his soul will be merged with the next Lord, to protect him until he is fully awakened. But this time, 'we' cannot wait for your full awakening, because the world of humans is changing. They are getting stronger and stronger, and they are replicating our powers. Trexerous is in danger."
The world began to spin, and I staggered backwards. Rulterous looked at me tiredly before speaking. "You may run, but you cannot escape your fate, Sitri." The black void began peeling off, and I could see sunlight peeking out. My head began to feel dizzy. The world kept spinning.
-the last shitty line-
I opened my red eyes and took in a large amount of air. Damn, that stupid Rulterous... I sat up and saw two faces very near me. The first one looks very familiar? She had short green hair and oynx colored eyes. She wore a cropped t-shirt that has a star in the middle. And guess what? Yup, she has a tail. A freaking tail. A mermaid maybe? The second one also has a tail, but instead of green hair, she has shoulder length blonde hair tied into a loose ponytail. She wore a black tank top that wrote 'Mine'.
Wait.
Mermaid.
Green hair. Cropped t-shirt. Weird lips. Tail.
This, looks like a scene from One Piece!
What's her name again? Camel? No, Calem?...Cai...Kaimi...Keimi!
Okay. I must be going crazy. Of course this is not possible. Who in their right minds would think mermaids exist? And from One Piece?
Well, I did see a grim reaper, so what's there to be surprised? At least these people-fishes look better than Rulterous.
"Ughhh...Where am I?" I croaked out and rubbed my sore face. Poor face. I should get a doctor if I want my face to stay intact.
"Ano...who are you?" The Keimi cosplayer asked. Beside the Keimi cosplayer -nice cosplay by the way I should give you an award- looked at me, then my face. "Keimi, shouldn't we treat this thing first?"
Thing? That's nice. Congratulations, Sitri, you've just been degraded to a thing.
"Hey! That's rude." I pouted and dusted off the black feathers in my shirt.
Hmm?
I abruptly sat up, triggering the pain of my injuries. Damn...
I picked up the mystery feather and examined it. It was black to the tip, with few streaks of silver and gold in the side. Fluffy and soft, but strong. Wait, isn't there something wrong with this scene?
One: A mysterious boy just woke up, two mer-thing found him.
Two: One mer-thing is a Keimi cosplayer.
Three: Mermaids shouldn't exist.
Four: Black feathers everywhere.
Conclusion: The injured boy is dreaming.
I sighed. Good, this is just a dream. Just a dream. If this is a dream, might as well have fun with my imagination.
"What is this thing?" I showed them the feather. The Keimi cosplayer looked at me and smiled. "You must have a really shocking experience to forget your devil fruit powers." She then pointed behind me.
In confusion, I turned my head. -ouch- Though a bit hard, I managed to turn and see something I didn't want to see. In my bloodied back -when did my back get bloodied-and what happened to my shirt?!- sprouted two pair of majestic black wings with silver and gold tips. The same kind as the feather. But my 'wings' were covering something, and when I brushed it off, I dramatically paled. In the ground was Rulterous's death scythe in its full glory. It glowed for a moment, as if mocking me, before disappearing in a burst of white and golden flames.
I animecried.
My...dream...hates me...
I promptly fainted.
And Cut!
So what do you think of it? Good? Bad? So-so?
