Dear readers, it has been 6 years since my last update of writing a story. I have been busy lots while trying to improve my writing. I just hope I am getting any better soon. Anyway, from the past 6 years, I have experienced lots of things and watched more than before. Thus, leading me to motivate me to write again.
School days has become one of my favourite anime when I watched it. It is awesome plot with triangle love stories except when it comes to protagonist's personality and ending, it was not what I expected. It turned out to be nightmarish bloody ending story anime that I ever regretted watching. Here, I am going to write a different story ending and trying to retain the original plot while adding with some fantasy element that I really wish would happen. It is a combination from several anime (Persona, Naruto, One Piece, etc.) with supernatural powers. I have been wanting to make the protagonist have the power to be one of the most important character. Let's get started with the story. (The story will be told from Makoto's perspective)
NB: If the readers like this story until the end, then one day I might consider making Visual novel for it just for personal use. Also, this story will include many elements from other animes. I understand that it should be labeled as "Crossover" instead of "Regular" but the option only allows 1 crossover. So, I just put it regular.
CHAPTER 1
VELVET ROOM
The days passes by as usual, I guess. Nothing but a school life that I must attend every day. I watched the sky.
I wish something would just turn out different than usual. I am bored with my life. I silently thought while the announcement announced that train would start departing soon.
As the train door started to close, a young beautiful high school girl ran as fast as she could so she could be in train. She made it. It was so close, almost left her behind. That's when I saw her for the first time. I couldn't utter any words as I was amazed by her beauty, innocent and cute face. She went and sat down and opened a book to read. Before I had known it, I fell in love with her. I kept watching her in a distance. I was caught surprised when she noticed me and looked at me. I turned my head into a different side. When she continued reading, I turned back to look at her. With a very careful act, I opened my phone and captured her picture with my phone camera. It was when I knew from a gossip in my school that whoever had a picture of the person whom they liked and set it as wallpaper for 3 weeks, that person would surely become your lover. I couldn't believe it but also couldn't help but to test it, the "Cell phone Charm". I looked at the picture and I couldn't believe that I actually took it. I started to begin that my life would turn different. I wanted to speak to her, became her friend and then her lover. It would take some time, I guess. I didn't even know her name. I couldn't muster my courage to speak to her.
Suddenly, the surrounding became black and I couldn't see anything. I was trapped in a dimension where there was nothing but a blue door in front of me. I walked to the door and opened it. The light shined brightly and constantly blinded me for a while. I covered my eyes with my hand and then the light started to fade. There, I knew I was in a room with a complete blue surrounding with the background of Universe. I saw a man with a long nose and completely shocked me. That was not something that you could see every day in society. I also noticed a woman beside him wearing blue clothes with black circle pattern.
"He he he he he, I see that another fate has brought us a guest," said the long nose man to me as if he was expecting me.
I couldn't speak any words, for I must still be in a dream. I tried to slap myself yet I was still in this realm. I couldn't believe it. If this wasn't a dream, then what was it?
"Welcome to the velvet room. Do not be alarmed, I have summoned you into this place. This place exists between dream and reality. It is no wonder why you are still in realm. My name is Igor and this is my personal assistant, Abigail," said the introduction words from him to me.
"Pleased to make your acquaintance," she spoke.
"Now, there is a paper on the table near you. Write your name and sign the contract with your full knowledge."
"Contract? Am I going to hell? Is he a devil or soul eater?" I thought.
I started to think I would crazy, however, I took the paper contract and looked at it. The handwriting was hard to be recognized except the sentence "I choose my own fate with my own will". I took the quill and wrote my name "Makoto Itou". As I signed it and put it back, the man waved his hand and the paper contract disappeared instantly. I was shocked and panic.
"This stuff does not exist. This can't be," I tried to think with rational.
"Now then, Makoto Itou, shall we take a look of your destiny?" he said with smiling face.
He summoned cards out of nowhere. Based on what I look; it was tarot cards. The cards were in closed position so I wouldn't know what was behind it. Igor then opened one card. It states "Tower" with Upright position.
"*chuckle, my, my, my, what an interesting fate you have. It seems that you will have some unexpected occurrence ordeal in your life. Something will block your path to move on," he explained the card to me.
Then, he opened another card. This time, it states "Lover" with Reversed position.
"*chuckle, yet another interesting fate we have. This is the first time I encounter this event. You might be the first person to hold the key of the universe. How you use your powers is entirely depending on you. You see, there are infinite possibilities of power source we have. To build and harness it will not be an easy task," he explained it to me with such a hard truth for me to swallow.
"Power? What is he talking about? I am just a normal human being with no exceptional skill in everything," I thought and tried to tell him but hesitated to do so.
"I will bestow the powers onto you, however, it will be dormant and won't be awakened until the right time."
What this man said was starting to make nonsense to me. Everything since the beginning, what this man spoke was nothing but a fairy tale to me. But, this room existed in which I myself couldn't believe it.
"Please, take this key to the velvet room. The next time you come, it will be on your own." he said while summoning the key above me.
The key went straight to my pocket. Before I could say anything anymore, he interrupted me.
"Now, until we meet again, *chuckle."
The room became bright again. Before I knew, I came back in reality. I snapped and I saw the girl whom I admired again. I tried to reach my pocket and see if there was a key in my pocket. There was no key inside it. I was just imagining things after all. This stuff wasn't real. But then, who was that long nose man? Abigail and the contract? How could I remember all of these? People around me didn't seem to be troubled of me. It was like the time stopped when I was in that place. Before I could think any further, a notice came from train that it will arrive to destination soon. I decided to keep this up and brushed it off. The train arrived and I took off. I went ahead straight to school.
In the school, I looked at the board notice of where I was supposed to be at. I noted that I am in class 1-3. When I came to know, semester two began and I was like thinking that it was already boring from the first semester. But, things might turn around because of that girl. Now that I think about it, why didn't I see her at all in first semester? I brushed those things off and went straight to my class. I checked the seats position and it turned out that I sat near the back row. So, I went there and put my bag and sat. I still had lots of time before the class starts. What the events occurred earlier still bothered me. I couldn't shake it off. But, one thing for sure that no one would believe my story if I told them this. I wouldn't think about it any further. I opened my phone and looked at her picture. Then, a girl came behind me.
"Ehhhhhhh, a cell phone charm, eh? That popular rumour," she said to me.
I flustered and panic.
"Sa, Saionji Sekai?" I shouted to her while getting embarassed.
This girl is my childhood friend. Her name is Saionji Sekai. She's annoying as hell and won't stop bothering me at all. But, I came to get used to her.
"Stop looking at my phone, will you?" I tried to tell her.
"Hehehe, that was Katsura-san from class 1-4, right? Do you really like her?" she spouted the name to me of which I really wanted to know.
Katsura? So her name is Katsura? But, I still haven't known her full name.
"So, what if I am?" I said to her.
"Hehehe I see, how long has it been since you put the picture?" she asked me to make sure
"D… Day one."
"Ehhhhh, you have got to be lying."
"I am not lying."
"Ehehe, tell you what, I will help you get her. I can promise you," said the girl who kept being nosy around other people's business.
"Who said I need your help?" I said to her to avoid burdening her any further.
"So, would you like me to spread the news instead?"
"Ahhhh, wait, wait, wait. Don't ever think about doing that."
"If you don't want me to help, then I'll just spread the news."
I had no choice but to accept her offer. Talk about being threatened.
"Fine, you win, Saionji-san." I purposely lost to her.
"Hehehe, just leave it to me to Saionji Sekai. Oh, Makoto-kun, just call me Sekai," she said to me.
"Sekai?" I asked her about calling her first name.
"Yes, Sekai. I like it because it is like the "World" meaning of Sekai. You know that, right?"
"Fine, Sekai it is."
I guess I trusted her enough to do this for me. She has been my childhood friend for a long time and I really wanted to tell her what I experienced earlier. Despite that, I think that she would think I'm crazy. The blue door, velvet room and the fate. What was it about my fate or destiny? Is there something bad going to happen to me?
