Life sucks. Everything has just gone to absolute shit. Just a few days ago, I lost everything; my home, my parents, everything. Gone, in the blink of an eye.
My parents and I used to live in a small town out in the outskirts of Japan, some outback in the mountains surrounded by the tall trees that covered the landscape. Life there was so peaceful. I would wake up every morning and go through my everyday life, go to school, hang out with friends, and deal with problems boys my age normally deal with.
My name is Issei Hyoudou, and up until recently, I was living a comfortable life with my mother and father. My father was a world renowned surgeon who had saved many lives before he retired and my mother worked as a world leading official in bioengineering. They were well known in their respective fields on top of saving countless lives wherever they visited, as they spent most of their careers travelling throughout the different nations of the world, helping the lives of those around them. Thanks to them, a lot of people now are much better off and my parents continued to improve lives until I came along.
When my parents found out that they were expecting a baby, they decided to retire from their jobs and settle down in the countryside so they can watch over and raise me. They bought a house in the Japanese countryside and raised me with love and care.
Growing up, I would say I was a good kid. I would do whatever my parents asked of me, and was considered the smartest kid in my grade. I guess being the son of two extremely knowledgeable people has rubbed off on me. On every examination, I would always score the highest in my grade and was considered a genius among my teachers and peers. I wouldn't say I had a lot of friends back then, but I did have a few like that one kid I used to be best friends with until his family moved out of town. Aside from school, my parents would always take on me on trips to see around the world and try new things. It's safe to say that I have visited every major city in every country as well as some minor ones.
Life back then was great. Just a few days ago, I thought my life was perfect. In two weeks, I would begin attending high school and soon, I would be aspiring to change the world the same way my parents did. However, everything changed until that fateful night. While I was eating dinner with my family, my parents got an urgent call from an old friend of theirs and before I knew it, they were packing and preparing to go to America. Little did I know, that would be the last time I ever see them. A few days later, I found out the plane they were on had disappeared in an overseas storm and rescue teams have failed to find the wreckage.
Now, I live on my own. Growing up, I barely knew my relatives and my parents were declared dead, they refused to take in a kid they knew nothing about. But luckily I knew how to handle myself and did not go to an orphanage. My parents made sure that I knew how to handle myself whenever I'm alone and left behind enough money for me to live comfortably for 15 years. For several years, I have been on my own. The kids at school all stayed away from me after learning of my parent's passing and I was without anyone to talk to. I missed my parents. I missed the warmth that they provided me. After a year of mindlessly wandering through my days I realized something. My parents were famous for their work and for them to suddenly disappear on a private jet to an unknown client does not add up.
In order to learn something related to my parent's disappearance, I decided to buy a house and move to a nearby town, the town my parents went to before they went to before going overseas. I also decided to enroll in the nearby highschool which I heard that up until recently had been an all female school but turned coed. Apparently, Kuoh academy is a pretty prestigious school where many students from around the world come to attend.
Now, I have just arrived at my home away from home and have just finished unpacking all the things I brought with me from my countryside home and am now lying in bed waiting for my new day as a highschooler. For some reason, I can feel that my parents aren't dead and I will find out what happened to them. And with that lingering thought, I closed my eyes falling to sleep preparing for the new day to come.
Little did I know, I had taken my first step into a world beyond imagination.
