Chapter 1: The Reapers' Game
Setting: The Scramble Crossing Time: 9:00 a.m. Day: 1
(I start to wake up.)
Me: [Ow…why does my head hurt?...]
[Where am I?]
(I walk up to someone.)
Me: Excuse me. Would you mind telling me what this place is?
?: …
Me: [The person seems to be ignoring me.]
Me: Um…hello?
(No reply still.)
Me: Hey! Don't ignore me!
?: That person can't hear you. No one except other Players and Reapers can.
(I turned around to see a boy that appeared to be about the same age as me with spiky orange hair and blue eyes.)
Me: Why? What are Players and Reapers?
?: In the Reapers' Game, Players like you have to form a pact with another Player to become partners so you can survive the week of having to do missions, defeating Noise, etc.
Me: What are Noise?
?: Reapers try to erase Players by using Noise. They are animal-like creatures that you have to erase in order to survive. In the game, sometimes your mission involves erasing certain types or a certain amount.
Me: And if I don't complete the missions?
?: You'll be erased.
Me: So, it's basically 'erase or be erased'?
?: Pretty much.
Me: How do I erase Noise?
?: Do I have to explain everything? [sigh]
Me: Sorry. I'm just really confused. I don't know how I got myself into this situation…
?: …It's alright. I understand. I had to deal with this once.
Me: Had to? You mean…you're not a Player anymore?..
?: Yeah.
Me: Then how can you hear me?
(He shrugged)
Me: This is so… weird. How did I become a Player?
(He turned away from me.)
?: You don't want to know.
Me: Yes. I do.
?: Trust me. You don't. It doesn't matter. Just focus on finding a partner and winning the game.
Me: Why won't you tell me?
?: Because that's all you'll be focused on instead of trying to win so you can come back to life-
Me: I... died?
?: …Yeah.
