Chapter 1
(Dante's pov)
My name is Dante. I'm a 23 year old fan fiction writer who probably has the most strangest life that has ever happened to me. It happened like around maybe 10 pm and I was taking a rest in my room after all that stress from working on my stories and the next thing I find myself in the school that was way too familar to me. Where? The school from the skullgirls universe. Yup. No lie and this happened what...two days ago? And you know what's the cherry on the top of icing? Somehow I got parasite in me in my body. Don't believe me? Let's jump back to a day ago of how I got him in me.
A day earlier, 9:00 pm, Maplecrest.
I was in a house that I have no idea how I got a house in the first place getting some rest when I hear...
"Wakey wakey, sleepy head."
Keep in mind he is talking through my mouth but his voice sounded menacing as Spike Spencer's. I jolt off of my bed and looked around if someone was talking to me but...
"Helllllllooooooo...I don't like being ignored."
I immediately covered my mouth realizing that the voice was coming through my mouth. My expression for some reason changed like I was laughing but here's the thing...I'm not really laughing. Out of my control, my arms are off my mouth and as my body was walking towards the bathroom...
"I never expected my host to have such a reaction."
"Who are you?" I asked rather confused.
My body stops near a mirror from the bathroom and sure enough, I saw my right eye completely black as whatever is controlling me is making me grin.
"Oh where are my manners? I am Ouroboros. I am a parasite and you are my first host." He chuckled.
I gulped of how menacing he was talking to me. He starts to chuckle noticing how nervous I was and smirks.
"No need to be afraid. In fact...you could be glad...why?" He said with a smirk.
I was nervous to even ask so he starts to chuckle rather darkly.
"Not going to guess? That's good...eternal life. But at a price..."
"What?"
"You have to steal the life forces of any living thing you touch in order to stay young." He said almost sinister.
"What? I don't want everything to die when I don't want to." I said with shock.
"Heh...don't worry. I will teach you to control it. Just as long as you don't make a fool out of yourself." He chuckled more.
He also mentions that I also have the power of life as well but I will waste my energy if I use it too much. Just like the deity Ouroboros...So yeah...that was the day I first encountered my parasite. Kind of sucks when he controls my body and does things unnecessary sometimes. Now on to the current situation...
It was the next morning probably Thursday and It was my first time attending class. Which I forgot to mention that I lied that I had to get my belongings set up for my house cause I moved from New Meridian city. Thankfully the teacher was okay with it and wanted me to be sure I come in class once I was done. What makes me nervous a bit...Filia is there...with Samson.
"Keep your cool, kid." I hear Ouroboros talking in my head.
"Class. We have a new student today. Please be quiet so that he can introduce himself."
They were a few students whispering about me wearing an eyepatch and how scary I might be. I only have the eyepatch on to cover my eye so that they find out I have Uroboros in me and would probably freak out the moment they see him.
"My name is Dante. I'm 20 years old and just moved from New Meridian so I can avoid the violence there." I said as I looked at the students.
"Yes...Violence in New Meridian is relentless. I hope you're enjoying your stay at Maplecrest as you're enjoying this school. Um...forgive my curiousity but what happened to your eye? You didn't had that eyepatch when we first met." She said with a curious tone.
"A knife fell from the cabinet and stabbed my eye." I sighed.
Already the students are wincing or scared out of their minds of what I just said. What am I the governor from the walking dead?
"Good one, kid." I hear Uroboros chuckle.
"I...see...have a seat please and we'll begin."
I nod as I went to sit down next to Filia as the teacher began teaching the class making me listen to what the teacher says.
"Kid. You're being watched." Ouroboros warned me.
"Who?" I asked him through my mind.
"The girl next to you. She has a parasite on her hair. He's looking right at you. Keep calm. He'll think you're trouble if you act suspicious." He warns me.
Fuck...Samson must've sensed Ouroboros when I entered the room. I need to be careful...
A couple hours later after school (I rather not bore you with the usual school scenario), Filia looks at me nervous.
"Um...hi...I never got to tell you my name. Um...my name is Filia. Nice to meet you, Dante." She said shyly.
"Better make it quick, kid. I get the feeling the parasite is going to strike." Ouroboros says rather on edge.
"Like wise." I nod.
"I hope to see you next time in school." She smiles.
"Probably not. I probably got to go somewhere later and might come back late but we'll see." I scratched my head abit.
"Oh. Okay. It was nice talking to you." She waved at me with a giggle.
I smiled as I walked to my house and sure enough Filia is following me. I look behind me unsure why she following me. She tells me she lives around the area where my house and I swear...I hear Ouroboros saying in my head "Oh shit." Keep in mind I am not scared of her. It's her parasite that scares me. Thankfully nothing happened when I got in my house.
"You're planning on heading to New Meridian huh?" Ouroboros said.
"Yeah. The training you gave me might be helpful to defend myself." I sighed.
"This is about the skull heart huh?"
"Yeah...I plan to destroy it once I find it." I said as I put on my leather jacket.
"You do know they are others who probably won't like that."
"That's their problem." I said as I put on my cap.
"Ok. I'm just saying." He chuckles.
I put on my leather gloves and walked out of my house to New Meridian.
"Just a heads up. There's someone in New Meridian with a nasty parasite and I want you to stay away from the person." He warns me.
"She wouldn't happen to be a famous singer from a club I heard from the students?" I asked rather curious.
"Bingo. I know the parasite well and it's giving the singer eternal life just like I'm giving you eternal life except in order for that to work the parasite needs blood. I'd steer clear from her if I were you. You're not ready for her." He warns me.
"Got it. I sincerely hope she doesn't find me if a parasite can sense other parasites." I said with worry.
"That's what I'm worried about too. Just avoid any confrontation from her or there's going to be trouble. Trust me." He said with seriousness.
"Got it. Crystal clear."
And so...my journey on destroying the skull heart begins...
