Nice to meet you, everyone! It's my first time actually writing a DC fanfic and uploading.

As a background information, this story is starting after Ai succeeds in making a permanent antidote for APTX. As Shinichi was eager to go back to his formal self, he obviously consumed it without listening to Ai's precaution of some side-effects may occur. In my opinion, he can be quite reckless like that. Uh huh. As the side-effect, Shinichi, the death magnet, gets entangled in cases less but can see the ghosts. His new sight is the byproduct of the antidote with different homicides that he have seen for unhealthy rate.

There is a new cafe opened in downtown named 'Arzhuna' with a female owner who no one knows her age and a guy who helps the owner occasionally and dyed his hair green partially. (idea obtained from a Korean fantasy novel)

This is all that I will say for background information. I hope that you enjoy reading this story as I slowly develops the story. I am not a native English speaker so please understand that my grammar can be incorrect often.

Disclaimer: I do not own any DC characters and the cafe 'Arzhuna' and some basic concepts of the story. The DC related is owned by Aoyama san and some other parts including 'Arzhuna' is owned by Sir Hwigin.

Lots of people do not believe in supernatural. The reality is when people says that they believe, the society sees them as some kind of wicked ones and recommend psychiatric help. However would they know… that there actually are such things as vampires, witches and ghosts...?

In the USA, some teenagers believe of themselves as hybrid of vampires and werewolves and do criminal actions making issues to the society.

'Don't make such nonsense. Even though I have to believe the existence of ghosts as I had seen one with my own eyes but things like vampires or werewolves? Ha!'

A 18 years-old boy, Kudou Shinichi skimmed through websites with bored look. He was the type that needed evidence to trust in any beliefs and he truly hated crimes that claim supernatural events, which is most likely to be appearing only on fantasy novels, as the reason behind. Some may label him as 'lack in imagination' and 'boring' but Shinichi didn't find any need for being imaginative so he stayed like that until now. Why would he need imagination when his work outside school requires the senses and minds that do not get tricked? It is true that detective work should not be his priority but no one can stop someone from doing what he enjoys as long as it's rather harmless to the society, right?

While Shinichi was kept on researching for news articles that interests him, there was a doorbell rang on the front gate. However, as he was too deeply concentrated on the recent murder case happened, Shinichi didn't hear the bell.

Once

Twice

After there was third bell, there was a sound of door being unlocked coming from the front gate. However, Shinichi was still unaware of the happenings around him and his house so when the person who unlocked the door came straight into the library where Shinichi was, he didn't even realized that he was not alone at home anymore.

Bang

There was a disturbingly loud sound from the wall and it made Shinichi to be distracted from what he was doing. Surprised, Shinichi looked around the library only finding his childhood friend Ran standing next to the wall and door. Wait, was it a crack on the wall? Shinichi could swear that if looks can kill someone, he would be already dead. That murderous look on Ran and the crack which he was sure that Ran made showed him that Shinichi should change topic quickly or else, he would surely be unable to live any longer.

"Eh, Ra.. Ran? What are you doing at my house?"

Wrong question. The question should have angered the girl more as her angered face deepened and her fist started to move next to her body.

"Did you just ask what I am doing here?"

Oh, great. Shinichi just hoped that he could go back to time and change what he just said but there was no way going back could happen. The only thing Shinichi could do was staring at Ran with expression of a rat standing at the corner with a cat in front.

"You are meant to meet Sonoko and me in front of my house for visiting this new café that just opened downtown! How can you forget that?"

Oops. So that was the problem. Shinichi could remember that Sonoko and Ran was talking about some café opening in downtown and asked to him about something but he just answered positively without really listening. He didn't know that it was that.

"Ah… ah.. Sorry, Ran. I kind of forgot about that as I was working on a case…"

"Stupid Suiri Otaku!"

Ran huffed and headed back to the gate to go back to her house where Sonoko was waiting for her to come back with Shinichi. What Shinichi could do was just shutting down his computer and locking the door to his house before running after her and asking for forgiveness.

What Shinichi didn't know was that this new café will change his life dramatically and force him to learn more about this so called 'unrealistic world' hidden behind the brightness of the world he is walking. Kudou Shinichi, a 18 years old high school detective who was once shrunken into 7 years old and came back is going to face a new situation that is thought to be impossible.

Please understand that it being quite short. I will try to get later chapters longer. Just think of this chapter more of a prolog.

Suggestions and corrections are welcomed.
