There's something that's always confused me in this world. Why do so many words end up contradicting each other? Hope and Despair? Truth and Lies? Life and Death? Why is the world so contradicting like that? Why can't the world be more... Simpler? Instead of Hope and Despair, why can't we just have hope? Or instead of Truth and Lies, why can't we just have truth? And the biggest question of all, why can't we just have life? Why do we need all the horrid stuff like despair, lies and death? Why do they have to exist? Wouldn't the world be better without it?

But, what could I do about? I was an abnormal entity stuck in a painfully muggle body. What change could I bring to the world? Why even think about it? It's not like It'll ever change any-

"Oof!" I gasped in surprise, my body slamming against the hard concrete of the floor. I shook my head to wear off the paralysis before looking up at a man wearing a long trench coat with a black top-hat and some admittedly jazzy sunglasses.

"..."

I frowned at his silence.

"Excuse me? Hello?" He slowly turned his head to look at me. "Yes, I'm talking to you, do you have any idea how rude it is to slam someone into the concrete ground and then not even offer any help to them? Disgraceful" I reprehended him, although it didn't look like he was too affected, to my annoyance.

"What's someone like you even doing in such a nice... Place?" I uncertainly said, taking a true look around my surroundings.

The atmosphere was suffocating, it was raining in the streets, all grey and cloudy like the streets had no life to them whatsoever.

I saw my school not too far off, I noticed everyone pairing off to share umbrellas. My stomach churned with env- no. I was not affected by the sight I saw before me whatsoever. I was not so desperate that I'd stare longingly after all of them... I sighed.

I simply stood there, the rain pelting down on me hard. It was so depressing. I guess that's another contradiction, isn't it? Positive and Negative and right now, I was feeling downright negative. I sighed, shivering in the cold, I was ready to cry.

Suddenly, I couldn't feel any raindrops falling on me and I looked up surprised. It was the man. He was holding an umbrella above me. I huffed, blushing slightly.

"Why?"

"You'll catch a cold..."

"Why do you care?"

"Why don't you?" I looked up at that. Why don't I care?

"Why should I?"

"So you can live your life to the fullest?"

"There's no such thing as living to the 'fullest'" I scornfully muttered.

"Oh?"

"How can I 'live' my life to the 'fullest' when life keeps throwing me all these challenges that are not wanted?"

"So you think life is unfair?"

"Yes"

"What if that could change?" I widened my eyes at that, ignoring the noisy children squealing behind us in the restaurant.

"Impossible"

"Why?"

"Because it is!" I hotly told him, my ears turning red with rage.

"You're just a mere teenager, how would you know?"

"What!?" Oh! He was mocking me now! "You have the gall to say that to me!?"

"Yes"

"Fuck you too then"

"No thanks, I'm many things, but not a pedophile"

"You are insufferable!"

"I might be more tolerable if you listened to me" He told me, more seriously now.

I stayed silent.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Well?"

"Oh, sorry, I thought you were going to interrupt me again"

I stayed silent.

"Before I tell you, I have a condition" He told me. I rolled my eyes at that. Usually when people say that, it's something generic like: money, sex, other stuff I can't name on top of my head.

I pursed my lips, eyes narrowed.

"... Tell me, how old are you?"

"...16..."

"Tell me, have any particular talents?"

"Excuse me?" I asked incredulously, what was that suppose to mean?

"You're a Chaologist, aren't you? To keep it simple, you study Chaos Theory because you want to understand the contradictions to the world, right? Why the world isn't simple? Why the world is complicated? You want to understand" The man said, stating many facts that were terrifyingly true about me. I paled when he said all that.

Of course, I had a much more in-depth understanding of Chaos Theory than this man ever could, but It's impressive he even knew that much about me. That brings up the question then, did he merely research it because of me? It appears like he's almost been stalking me without me knowing. It gave me goosebumps...

The man suddenly cleared his throat and said to me in his husky voice.

"Would you, Kuromu ChikaFuji, enroll at Yashin Academy at the chance to hone your skills as the Ultimate Chaologist at the opportunity to fulfill your desires of ambition?" The man asked of me. I was uncertain, looking at this scroll that looked like a contract.

"I..." I didn't know.

"Any complications like loved ones shall be reasoned with accordingly" The man told me, as if that was the predicament I was in.

"..."

"What else do you have to lose?" The man suddenly told me harshly, a glare set on his face.

"H-huh!?" I stammered, my earlier bravo practically none existent.

"You said it yourself, your tired of the challenges life throws at you? So why not accept it?" The man said gently, putting a hand on my shoulder reassuringly.

"... Okay..."

"You accept?"

"Yes..."

The man smiled at me, and thrust the scroll into my hands.

"All you have to do is sign this contract with your own signature and you will officially enroll in Yashin Academy, Kuromu" The man said, uttering my name for the first time.

I should've had many questions. How did he know my name? How did he know what I studied? It was never made public after all, so how? That is what I would ask myself in the near future, but right now, I didn't care.

I signed the contract


And that was the prologue! I'm very aware that SYOC's are pretty popular right now, so I'll understand if I don't get too many submissions, but I've read so many SYOC stories that have been amazing. My biggest inspirations coming from RioA, TheRoseShadow21 and liammarklh88! (I would mention A LOT more people, but then we'd be here forever!) and yeah! Now onto the boring rules and whatnot.

1) Like pretty much every SYOC, this will be set in an AU, original I know.

3) Let's keep talents original! I know this is a bit of a persnickety topic, but original talents is what keeps it interesting! Although it can easily be something generic too!

4) As much as I would love to rush into this, we'll of course have to wait a few days, maybe weeks. This is not a first come first serve, don't feel pressured into rushing an OC! I personally want to see the love and attention you give to your OC's!
