Bzzzz! Bzzzz!
….
Bzzzz! Bzzzz!
I open my eyes to see my phone vibrating loudly on one of my small drawer next to me. I open it to see that it was 7:50 AM, and I need to change into my school uniform to meet up with a friend, since school start today.
My name is Rufus, and I spend my time on Oneiroifield for quite a while now. Hardly anything interesting happen here, which is good for me at least, and I spend my time with my childhood friends.
I fix my white hair to stay down, and my bangs sweep to the left side, not covering my blue eye. I put on my red collar long-sleeved jacket with yellow outline, and two coattails. Underneath the jacket is a plain long-sleeved button white shirt. As well as my pants with matching color palette as my jacket, and brown shoes. I quickly headed out to school to reach the school's door where my friend is waiting for me.
Today, Oneiroi high school open their door, and with me becoming a senior, it will be more easier this time around.

School's entrance
I continue my walk for a couple of minutes, until I noticed someone standing besides the school's door.
"Hey! Over here Rufus!"
I see my childhood friend happily running towards me, and also wearing his school's uniform just like me. Dante's hair is blond, and with some bangs swept above right green eye, even reaching behind the ear. He's wearing a red long-sleeved blazer with yellow outline, and underneath it was a white collar long-sleeved shirt. Also with pants matching the color palettes of his blazer, and brown shoes.
"Did I keep you waiting?" I ask.
"No, I just got here myself, so don't worry about it." He smile.
This guy's name is Dante, He's a carefree guy, and he isn't afraid to speak up what's on his mind. We spend our free time hanging out in our usual hangouts, and often has plans to help me with my problems, which led us to more trouble, rather than to a peaceful solution.
"I see, should we head out inside?" I ask.
"Of course, we arrive early to reserve our seat." Dante smile.
And so, we headed toward the school, and our peaceful day begin now.

School's Main Hallway
"Everyone! Please find your name on the paper to find your homeroom!" A teacher yelled out.
The hallways look more crowded than usual, and we can hardly move forward due to the students trying to find their name on the board filled with many papers.
"Wow! Why are there so many students now? And I can't find a familiar face in this crowd.." Dante said.
I remember something on the news about the school gaining more students.
"Didn't you know the school is trying to bring more students from all over the world?" I ask.
"What? I didn't know about that, but why are they doing something like that?" Dante ask curiously.
"To spread their name maybe." I said unsure.
"I see, then this is perfect." Dante happily said.
"Perfect?" I curiously ask.
"This is our time to make new friends, and maybe meet your soul mate, but the soul mate part is the most important." Dante happily explain.
"You don't skip a beat do you.." I said.
"Of course not! This time you can't back out, okay?" Dante seriously said
"Even if I said no, I'm pretty sure you will make me, one way or another." I said.
"Bingo! I'm glad you agree so willingly." Dante smile, and I sigh.
We try to adventure through the crowd, but Dante stop to look at two girls nervously looking at a map of the school.
"Score!" Dante said with excitement.
"Huh? What's wr-"
Dante quickly pull me away from the crowd, and into two girls looking at us.
"Hello ladies, what seem to be the problem." Dante smile.
"Huh?..Oh, well we're new to this school, and we can't seem to find our homeroom on this map." The girl explain.
I look at the map, and where she was looking to find the classroom she was trying to find.
"I found the classroom you're looking for." Dante said.
"R-Really!?" The other girl said.
"Yeah, and we could show you where that is." Dante smile.
…did he forgot the reason for why we came here so early?
"Thanks you so much!" They happily said.
"Dante, what are you doing?" I whisper.
"Trying to get some friends." He whisper back.
"We're going to be late, if we-"
"Is something wrong? Do you have something else to do" The girl ask sadly.
"Is nothing, right Rufus?" Dante poke me with his elbow.
I noticed the girl giving me those puppy eyes, and I couldn't resist on helping them out.
"I guess, it's all rights to show you two to your classroom." I answer.
The two girls, and Dante were pleased with my answer, strangely enough.
"Please, lead us to our homeroom." The girl smile.
We walk out of the crowded hallway, and into a different one where our destination is located.

8:15 AM
A-Hallway
We arrive at the door of their homeroom in A-hallway, and our seat are probably taken as we speak.
"Thank for helping us, and sorry for bothering you two." The girl bow.
"It's all right, If you need help, you can always ask us for help." Dante smile.
One of the girl come toward me, and looks rather nervous for some reason.
"If you want, w-we could hang out together after school." The girl blush.
"Sorry, I have some plans with Dante after school." I answer.
She look sad to my answer, and Dante facepalming behind her.
"I see…well, I'll go inside for now, excuses us."
The girls went inside the classroom quickly, and Dante looking at me with disbelief.
"What's wrong? Do I have something on my face?" I ask.
"You're so dense." Dante sigh.
"What do you mean?" I wonder.
"She was asking you out, and you just bluntly turn her down." Dante answer.
"Oh…" I play with my bangs.
"We need to fix that issue in the future, I'm your friend after all." Dante smile.
"Thanks." I smile.
Suddenly, I remember something very important.
"We are going to be late for our homeroom." I muttered.
"Oh crap! Why did you tell me about this." Dante said with anger.
"I did, but you were busy helping out two girls, remember?" I sigh.
"You mean "We" help them out." Dante smile.
We both laugh at the decision we made, and the future outcome of that decision.
He still the same Dante as I remember.
"Anyway, let's hurry back to the main hallway to find our homeroom." I suggested.
"Right! Let's go!" Dante said.

8:25 AM
Main Hallway
We arrive at the main hallway, but there were a few people looking for their homeroom this time.
"We have five minutes until the teacher closed their door." I remind him.
"Then, we must look for our homeroom faster." Dante said with confidence.
We desperately look at each paper to find our homeroom, and I found mine rather quickly.
"Found mine." I said.
"Me too." He reply.
"Is your homeroom on C-hallway?" Dante nervously ask.
"Surprisingly, that's correct." I said.
"Really!? Yes, another year together like old time." Dante happily said.
"Yeah, now let's run toward our homeroom, Dante." I said.
"Right behind you!" Dante reply.
We rush toward C-hallway with everything we got, and hoping we aren't too late to class.

8:31 AM
C-Hallway
We made to the door of our homeroom, but we were a bit late to class.
"Did..we made it?" Dante ask, and I shook my head.
"Do you think the teacher would believe if we say that we help two girls with their problems." Dante nervously laugh.
"The thing we need to worry about now is if the teacher let's us in." I said.
We enter the classroom with exhaustion, and defeat on our faces.

8: 32 AM
Homeroom/?
As we enter the room, everyone in their seat look at us, as if we interrupted something important.
"Ah, you two came just in time."
We look at the teacher wearing a black blazer with a white collar shirt underneath the blazer. Black pants with black shoes, and glasses. I was relief that it was David Kennedy teaching in our homeroom.
Mr. David is a favorite teach of ours, he's smart, and kind toward everyone in this school. He's one of the teachers that is easier to talk to, and often help us with our trouble, like right now.
"Late again, huh? You help someone again?" David smile.
"Yeah, you know our usual routine." I smile.
"I'm glad your our homeroom's teacher, teach." Dante happily said.
"I feel the same way too, now, you two must take a seat." Mr. David said.
We look at the front of us to look for a sit, but we noticed a girl waving at us from the back row. We approach the girl, and we noticed two empty seat to the left, and right of her.
"Why am I not surprised? You two came late, and on your first day."
The girl's black hair was long, and reaching down to her hip with some bangs above her red eyes, and one hair clip pushing it to the side. We look at the girl's uniform, She was an open red blazer with yellow outline, and underneath it is a white long-sleeve collar shirt with a red tie. A skirt with the color palettes of her blazer, black knee high sock, and brown shoes.
This is Amy, another of my childhood friend just like Dante, we meet in grade school. She's very kind towards people, and use a bit of her temper to listen to reason, but we know it's for our own good.
"I'm sorry, Amy." I said sadly.
"*sigh* I know you're doing for other people, but you must worry just a bit more about your self." Amy said.
"So, we're good, right?" Dante smile.
"On the other hand, you will help people for your own gain, Dante." Amy said.
"Hey! That's half true." Dante reply.
"*Cough* Anyway, welcome you all to Oneiroi High School. Usually, where ever you sit on this moment, would of being your seat, but since you're new in here, I took the liberty to make a sitting chart."
So, all the effort we put was for naught.
All of the students didn't disagree with the idea, but us three quickly disagree, but we must follow his directions, and hope for the best.
"I hope you have a good, and calming stay on your new school." Mr. David smile.

Oneiroi High school entrance
"Finally! Freedom!" Dante said with excitement.
"Aren't you exaggerating a bit?" I smile.
"I'm kind of worry about him." Amy said.
"At least try to agree with me here *sigh* Anyway, Amy are we meeting up in our usual hangout." Dante smile.
"Yeah, today I have to work there, so it would be fun if you two come there." Amy happily said.
"It's decided then, let's go to Cat's Tail." I said.
We left school to spend our time in our favorite hangout.
August 24, Monday

4: 05 PM
Cat's Tail
We enter Cat's tail door to see Booth seatings to our left, and middle of the room. More forward, there was a door that lead to outside, and it filled with tables, for those that like to eat outside. To the right of that door is the men's, and woman's bathroom. A bit more down from the bathroom's door is the big counter, and where the maids/butler get the foods for the customer. This was a hot spot for students from Oneiroi High school, and Oneiroi Middle School, since it was very close.
"Excuse me guys, I need to work now" Amy left.
"All right! Let's take our favorite seat." Dante exclaim.
"I agree with you there." I answer.
We went to upper left corner of the room to find our usual booth, and the only booth with more space. I see a paper fold up in a triangle with the word, "Reserve" on it, and I flip it to the blank side. We sat down peacefully on the booth, and a maid came to deliver us the menus.
"Take your time Master Rufus, and Master Dante." She smile.
"Of course!" Dante happily said.
"I will." I smile.
She left to serve the other customers of Cat's Tail with two other maid helping out, including Amy.
"I remember when you get embarrassed when they called you master for the first time." Dante laugh.
"Why do you bring up that bad memory." I said.
"Are you going to order the usual? Or you want omelet rice?" Dante grin.
"…"
I remember that dreadful day, when I first came here, and experience the special omelet rice serving. The omelet rice is serve one per week for a reason, and not many try to order it, since it take courage.
3 years before today

5:00 PM
Cat's Tail
I sat down on the booth, and was uncomfortable by the strange way they do here.
Why did I came here?..
"Cheer up buddy! This place will be our hangout from now on, you will see." Dante said with excitement.
"I somehow doubt it." I answer.
Dante pass me the menu of this place, and I see a big red mark circle on "Omelet Rice."
"*Sigh* I guess, I order the omelet ric-"
"Wise choice my dearest friend." Dante said.
I got a strange feeling that I made a fatal mistake..
I see Dante approaching the maid, and whispering something on her ear, which caused her to blush. She went inside the counter to order something from the kitchen, and the three maid prepare something on the counter.
Why are they doing? Did I do something?
I see Dante waving at me to come to the counter, and so I did just that.
"What's wrong?" I ask.
"Oh, it's nothing, I just want to see the expression on Amy's face." Dante smile.
I see Amy coming through the kitchen door with a blushing face, and an omelet rice on hand.
"I do wonder who's the courageous pervert who order this." Amy blush.
"Well, that courageous pervert you're talking is Rufus." Dante grin.
"Rufus!? Did you order the omelet rice!?" Amy exclaim.
"Yeah, why is there a problem?" I ask.
"Did you put him into this!" Amy said with anger.
"Think of it like a big welcome into entering Cat's Tail." Dante smile.
Suddenly, the two other maids came out from the kitchen with the same expression as Amy.
"What's going on?" I ask.
"I'm truly sorry Rufus, but it's my job to do this." Amy said blushing.
They put the omelet rice in front of me, and they used the ketchup to write their name, "Amy, Rose, and Lisa." I see the three maids grabbing a scoop of the food with the spoon, and putting in front of me.
"Master R-Rufus, open your mouth for us." Amy nervously said.
Then it hit me, Dante trick me into doing this, and I could see him smiling from behind the three girls serving me.
I knew something was off from the beginning…this is rather embarrassing to say at least.
It took 15 minutes to finish that dreadful omelet rice, and it was an embarrassing experience for all of us.

Cat's Tail
"I know better this time." I answer.
"True, but it would be more fun if we had more friends to share our joy, don't you agree?" Dante spoke seriously.
"…"
"Tomorrow, we'll find more people to hang out with us, and have even more fun." Dante continue.
"Can I have your order you two"
Amy suddenly show up with a maid uniform with cat's ears, and the icon cat's tail.
"Amy, you need to say master to your costumers." Dante said.
"Give me a break Dante.." Amy sigh.
I look at the menus of Cat's Tail, at first, I was surprised to see the bizarre different type of food here, but I got used to it.
~Cat's Tail Menu~
Main – 1. Hamburger 2. Hot Dog 3. Soup 4. Triangle Sandwich 6. Curry 7. Tacos. 8. French Fries 9. Omelet Rice (Special)
Dessert – 10. Cake 11. Parfait 12. Ice cream 13. Chocolate Banana
Drinks – 11. Sodas 12. Lemonade 13. Coffee 14. Hot chocolate 15. Milkshake 16. Tea
"I'll have the number 1, and 11." I said.
"Hmmm..I would like to have number 1, 8, 12, and 11." Dante said.
"I'll gladly bring your order…master." Amy left embarrassed.
"You sure like to pick on Amy." I said.
"Of course not, I'm just helping her on her job." Dante answer.
"I think your causing more problems than helping her." I scratch my head.
I see a man coming closer to our booth, and Dante happily wave at him.
"Hey, Boss!" Dante happily said.
"Hello you two, you gotten used to this place all ready." He said.
This man standing next to us is Leon Smith, but we all call him Boss due to Dante. He's the boss of Cat's Tail, and as well as the only butler on this room. He's mature, and surprisingly very wise on every subject, but he can be cold-hearted sometimes.
"Yeah, we did spend three years on this place." I answer.
"You may be right, so Rufus, are you interesting on getting a job here now?" Boss ask.
"I don't think I'll do a very good job." I reply.
"Nonsense, you have charisma, and courage." Boss answer.
"What about me, Boss?" Dante raise his hand.
"You're a hindrance to my job." Boss quickly denied.
"Give me one reason why I shouldn't apply here." Dante said.
"Because you will focus on the girls, rather than our other costumers, and you will goof off with your friends. Maybe even ask for more bre-"
"I ask for 1 reason, not many…" Dante muttered.
Amy came to our booth to deliver our order, and notice Boss with us.
"Boss? Why are you doing here?" Amy ask, and put our food on the table.
"I was here to request Rufus to take up on the job as a butler." Boss said.
"Wait!? Rufus is going to work here!?" Amy shocked said.
"Amy, I didn't agree yet, I'm still think of about it." I reassure her.
"Oh, I see, then why is Dante looking a but gloom." Amy said.
"He's sad that the Boss didn't let him be the butler." I smile.
"Oh, I'm sort of glad." Amy smile.
"You could of hide your joy from me…*munch* *munch*…The food is still good.." Dante muttered.
"I hope you have a good meal, masters." The boss said, before leaving.
"I'm rather impress on his motivation, and hard work to be a butler." I said.
"Yeah, as if he was truly a butler from the very beginning." Amy said.
We spend our time there, talking, eating, and having fun with the three of us together.
I stared at the ceiling with my head resting on the soft booth, and think on what Dante said.
"True, but it would be more fun if we had more friends to share our joy, don't you agree?"
…
"Tomorrow, we'll find more people to hang out with us, and have even more fun."
More friends huh?...I know it's for the best but…but…I like it to stay like this, just the three of us..forever..even for a moment..it's still fine
"Hey, did you hear about the rumor spreading around Oneiroi High School, and middle school."
I hear two students talking about something behind the booth, and I was secretly listen to their chat.
"What's the rumor?"
"They said, if you sleep at any time, and have horrific nightmares during your sleep, then your curse."
"I can believe you believe such fairytale.."
"Well, it's getting a bit famous though."
Curse?...I don't remember a rumor surfacing in my lifetime..did it happen just recently, or-
"Rufus!"
"Huh?"
I look at Dante tapping the table to get my attention.
"It's time for us to leave, and get home." Dante said.
I look at the clock on my phone, and it was 9:45 PM all ready
"Yeah, you're right Dante, let's go."
We exit Cat's Tail, and headed out toward home.

We arrive at Dante's house, and turn to me to speak with me about tomorrow.
"Rufus." Dante spoke.
"Yeah?" I ask.
"Tomorrow, we will make some friends, and I need you to give it your all on our goal." Dante seriously said.
"..Yeah, I know." I play with my bangs.
"…."
"…."
"Staying like this…isn't good for you, Rufus." Dante said, before entering his house.
I play with my bangs, and think for a second.
But..I'm comfortable like this..I don't want to change anything for the world..You, and Amy is all I need in my life.
I left.

My Room
I felt bad today, and I was all ready on my bed ready to peacefully sleep. I closed my eye to sleep, and forget about tomorrow for a bit.
Zzzzzzzz

I woke up in an empty place, and darkness was everywhere I look.
Am I dreaming?...
Choose…
Huh? That voice is coming from every direction..
Choose your weapon, and identity
Suddenly, a spotlight came out of nowhere to illuminate a weapons stack, and a table filled with different kind of mask.
Let the games begin
I felt tired, and my body was moving on it's own. I grab a weapon without me looking at the stack, and randomly grab a mask from the table. I put my weapon behind me, and I also put the mask. A door appear before me, and I enter it without my free will.
I..can't control..my body..
The whole environment change into a giant ballroom, filled with too many people to count wearing mask of different varieties, and weapons as well. I turn to a giant mirror, and I quickly noticed the silver armor helmet, but only covering my eyes. I could see horizontal lines on the helmet for me to clearly see my surrounding, and a spear popping out from behind me. I felt on my knees, and gasping for air, now I have control of my body.
Welcome! Welcome everybody to our little game
I look up to see a little man floating in the ceiling, and he look like a doll as I continue to stare at him. He was wearing a black top hat, and his eye's color was red with a big smile showing his razor teeth. His eyes seem too big to be human, and wearing a magician costume with a cape included.
What's going on..I remember sleeping, and then..
This time I hear panicking from all around me, I noticed people with Oneiroi high school uniform, Oneiroi Middle school uniform, policeman and other clothing.
Now, now, let's quickly begin the game should we? Now, I should op-
"Screw you, midget!" a man spoke with anger.
….
"You will explain to me, what going on this shitty place!"
The whole room became silence, and everyone watching the doll reaction.
Hey, do you want to see a trick?
The doll pull out his hat, and waving his hand around the hat. He show us that it was empty, and did his last wave around the hat.
Gnippir rouy daeh!
The doll pull out a human's head wearing a mask from his hat, and it was bleeding from the neck, it look strangely familiar.
Aaaahhhhh!
I turn around to see the horrible scene, I'm witnessing something I shouldn't see, the man head was gone. It was completely cut off, and the people back away from the dead body on the floor with it's blood painting the floor red.
Wait!..then the head of that man is..
I look up to see the man's head was up there with that doll, and the doll waving the head around spilling blood below.
Bad kids should be punish for speaking without my consent, now, let's begin.
The floor below us vanish, and everyone fall into the bottomless darkness without retaliating back.
…
..
..
Agh! My head feel like it's splitting on two..
I woke up to find myself on a hallway leading into to different paths, and the whole hallway was brightly pink. I could see hearts implanted on the walls with red curtains hanging from the wall, I could hear moaning, and screaming deep within this hallway.
Welcome, lost soul to the first sin of man, Lust
Is that doll again..but I'm more worry about on how I came here..is this a dream, after all?
Everyone here must endure the temptation of lust from our friends around the labyrinth, or you will die in an pleasurable way. It's recommended to keep your identity a secret from other, if you want to live.
Die? There no way that can happen, but that man died—No!- it was an illusion, or I'm still dreaming..man, what a crazy dream I am having..
There's also other fun way to die here in the labyrinth, kind monster are helping out lost soul into "dividing" their life's problem, and make them reach true salvation.
Time to test if this is a dream.
I lift my left hand toward my face, and I took a small bite, but I quickly stop when I felt pain from the bite.
It felt like a normal pain, this place is real or this dream can really kill me.
Now! Take the first step on this journey, and pass through this labyrinth, without dying of course. I'm giving you a small taste of the labyrinth of lust, so pass through the exit to win, good luck. This is but one night of many to come.

Labyrinth of Lust
So, there will be many night like this?...standing around here won't do much to me, I need to move forward.
I decided to move forward, and maybe find the exit the doll mentioned, so I can get out of here. As I reach the crossroads, I noticed a strong foul smell coming to my right, and I see a corpse of something to the right. The corpse was so badly damage I could hardly recognized what I was looking at, and I was breathing heavily due to this.
Deep breath…deep breath..losing my sanity will not help me get through this.
I decided to head to the left hallway to save my sanity, and I encounter a long hallways with lockers to the left side of the hallway. I hear footsteps coming toward me, and I desperately try to open one of the locker. I luckily found one unlock, and I waited inside the locker for the danger to past me. I can faintly see a girl carrying two naked body with lustful on their faces, but I knew they're all ready dead. I just closed my eye, and let that thing pass here. Open the locker with a sigh of relief, and ran the opposite direction from that girl.
Now, I must focus on finding th-
Suddenly, a bump into someone in a crossroads, and it was another human being. This girl was wearing Oneiroi's school uniform, and wearing a golden masquerade. I got up from the fall, and I reach my hand toward her to help her get up from the floor.
"W-Who are you?" She ask.
"Don't worry, I'm not a monster from this bizarre place, I'm a human just like you." I answer.
She look at my hand for a while, and slowly grab my hand to pull her up. She look nervously around the hallways, but even more from the hallway she came from.
"I seen..a girl have sex with multiple guys in a room, but the girl look unhuman with her beautiful looks." She said.
"That's terrible, but those guy are all really dead." I said sadly.
"Huh!? How do you know?" She ask worrying.
"I seen a girl pass by with two naked body she dragged in the hallway, so their fate are all ready seal." I play with my bangs to think.
"N-No way…*sob* I want to leave..*sob* I want my mother to be by my side *sob* telling me is going to be all right.." The girl cry.
I have to bring this girl with me through the exit, no matter what. I just do what I normally do when someone required help.
"Why don't we tag along?" I ask.
"Huh?.."
"It's better if we stick together to find the exit faster, since we have more people to look around our environment." I continue.
"Thanks you…for helping me." She smile.
Rrrroooooooaaaaarrrr!
"Oh no, he's still following me!" The girl said with fear.
"Following you? Is it a h-"
Thud! Thud! Thud!
I look at the hallway where the source of that sound came, and I quickly noticed the 7' 2" monster looking at us from the end of the hallway. A bull's head with two horns, and a strong human body with hooves, a minotaur is standing near us. The minotaur was wielding a giant battle axe on his right, and a bag leaking blood at the bottom on his left. I was frozen still with fear, unable to move from the fear of this wild creature.
"H-Hey, quickly leave-"
I noticed the girl going through the same thing I was going, and she was just staring at the minotaur. The minotaur move toward us slowly, and I try my best to move, but to no avail.
Quickly body, move.
30 feet away
Hurry up, if hesitate any longer we-
20 feet away
We'll die together
10 feet away, and the minotaur raise his axe above his head.
Just move to protect her!
I instinctively grab the spear from behind me, and using my left hand grab her stomach from behind to pull her away from the swinging battle axe.
Swoooosh!
We managed to dodge the attack, but the pressure from this monsters was suffocating. I was breathing heavily, and tired for using all my strength to just move us from that attack.
"Run *Huff* leave from here." I said.
She couldn't answer, but just stared at me with disbelief. The monster didn't rest, and try to attack us again.
I know I need to keep this weapon, but I'm not taking a chances battling this thing.
I pull away my spear from behind me, and I took a deep breath, then I threw the spear with everything I got, directly to his face.
"Take this!" I scream.
Whoosh!
Rrrrrrooooooooaaaaarrrrrrrr!
The beast scream with pain, as my spear was implanted on one of his eyes.
"Now, this is our chances!"
I grab the girl's hand, and sprinted away from him as far as humanly possible.
Left

Forward

We took different route to lose him easier, and ran without rest.
"Wait..*Huff* I need *Huff* a break." The girl said with struggle.
We stop let her rest a bit, and so as I, since it was a dangerous ordeal. I scan the area around us, and I smile to see something good happening on this place for once.
"Hey! I found the exit." I happily said.
"Really!? Where is it!?" She ask surprise.
I point toward the forward hallway with floating word saying, "Exit." I ignored the hallways to the right side, because we finally found the exit from this place, and I was happy.
"Thank you so much *Sob* for helping me *Sob*" She happily cry.
"Don't thank me yet, until we get out of here alive." I smile.
We ran toward the run without fear, but rather with joy of being free from this nightmare. We pass through the right hallway quick, and without me looking at it, but the goal in front of me.
Swoooosh!
I made it through the exit with the girl, and I was excited to be alive front there.
Congratulations, that's one human who made through the exit.
One human? But I made with the gir-
I turn to see what I was holding, and it was an horrific scene I'm witnessing. The girl's hand was cut off completely, and I was holding her limb body, but I release it with fear.
"What's *Gulp* going on?" I ask with fear.
I look at the hallway to see the girl shocked, and confused on what happen, but I was too focused on the monster behind her.
The minotaur..how did manage to recover from his fatal wound so quickly.
The minotaur came back, but there were some different features to this one. The most noticeable feature was his scar on his left eye, and the sword he was wielding, instead of his battle axe originally.
"H-H-Hey…I have a favor.." She said with calm expression, like she just gave up on her life.
I try to safe her once more, but a invisible barrier stop me from doing just that. I pound on the barrier with everything I got, and kick it to break it forcefully.
"Tell someone I meet in Oneiroi…high school-" She continues.
I see the minotaur raising the sword slowly to the ceiling, and aiming toward the helpless girl on the ground.
"stop…Stop it! I swear to you, that you will regret it if you kill her!" I scream with anger, and pounding on the barrier.
The minotaur ignore my warning, and still raise his sword higher, ready to end her life at any second.
"-Please, tell Rufus thanks, for helping me on finding my homeroom, and I have feelings for him." She smile, before she was cut in half.
Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!
She was cut many time before my very own eyes, and unable to do nothing to stop her dead. I felt on my knees from exhaustion, and stared with disbelief on her corpse.
I…i..I can't..uunderstand…what just happened..
The minotaur pick up her body on his bag, and approach me slowly, but I just stared at the floor confused.
It hurt…it hurt! She was right there, and…and.. I Damm it! I'm so weak! I could..I..I wish..I wanted..I can't comprehend on what happening! I just want this feeling to go away!
The minotaur's hand pass through the barrier to grab the girl's hand, and put it in the bag, before walking away from me.
Why didn't you kill me…I wish I was dead right now…
Hehehe
I start to laugh at this, but I felt tear coming down my cheeks, and on to the floor. I stop laughing, and no matter how hard I try to find an excuse, I see her smiling face.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

I woke up screaming in terror, but I suddenly stop when I realized I was in my room. My breathing was abnormal, and my heart beating faster than normal. I had a feeling of anger, fear, and despair, but I don't know why. I wipe off the tears from my face, and check my phone.
"6:30 AM.." I muttered.
Why was I crying? Did I have a bad dream…I can't remember, but it was something I would like to forget, and yet at the same time, I want to remember..
I shook off the negative thoughts, and focus on school for today at least.
"It's a bit early, but I should prepare myself for school, and wait on Cat's Tail." I said with exhaustion.
I put on my uniform, and headed outside, on the night that I walk by myself along the silent streets.
Chapter 1 end
"Hey, are you feeling okay, Rufus?"
"Yeah, I just had a bad dream, that's all."
"I'm sure..Mary would of been truly happy seeing you cry for her death, like right now."
"…!.."
"On the later news, a girl was found death on her bedroom, and police are calling foul play, an-"
Is everyone ready for night 2 of our game, I know you were waiting impatiently for it.
"This place look so familiar, but I can't remember, just like my bad feeling for it."
"The lust..I can't handle it..I must escape or else I'll die with her following after me."
