My hands rested on my knees as I heaved over breathing heavily. I rand for almost 6 straight miles. That has to be some sort of god damned record. I was covered in sweat but I still made it. Whew.

Currently, I was right outside the teacher's lounge which is, for some reason, where the waypoint was set.

[Quest Completed.

Experience added.

+100 Exp]

Suddenly, a translucent blue EXP bar appeared at the top of the screen. Out of nowhere, said blue bar was filled up with an even lighter blue going from 0 to 100.

[Level Up!

[Five skill points added.]

Level up?

Sure enough, when I opened up the main menu I was now a level two.

[Would you like to visit the skill tree?]

Naturally, I'm clicking yes.

[Strength

Endurance

Charm

Intelligence

Perception

Agility

Luck.]

All the skills are set to 5, but now I have 5 more skill points that I can add. Damn, this shit really is like a video game huh? Well if I was smart I'd put some into intelligence but… I never claimed to be a genius.

With that, I put five points into strength bringing it up to 10.

Well, that's just the type of guy I am.

Pressing accept, I felt a flow fill through my body. I felt as if I expanded slightly. It felt as if I got a really good full body workout pump. To be honest, I definitely felt stronger.

Well Now, what?

Guess I'll walk into the teacher's lounge since I'm a new student and all.

...

As I stepped in I was soon greeted by who may be one of the ugliest motherfuckers I've ever had the displeasure to see in my entire life.

His hair was greased down to a point where you could still see the grease resting in his hair and his skin was so pale and white that it had to be some sort of makeup.

He looked up from his papers at his desk. "Ohohoho, and just what is a foreigner doing in the teacher's lounge?" His voice was like nails on a chalkboard and I know people say that a lot but I actually mean it. Shit's annoying.

"Ah well, I-"

Suddenly three green boxes appear in front of me.

["Sorry for the interruption. I'm a transfer student from America and I start school today."]

["Ew, what the fuck are you supposed to be?"]

[Oops, looks like I got the wrong room."]

Time around me was frozen. I myself couldn't even move. The only sound I could hear was my heartbeat and my blood vessels in my ears.

Are these dialogue choices? Shit, this really is like an RPG. Will I not be able to talk freely? Cause this shit feels like it's going to get real old real fast.

Well, I guess there isn't anything I can do about it. For now, I guess I'll pick the first option. No sense in stepping on any toes right away.

"Sorry for the interruption. I'm a transfer student from America and I start school today," I spoke the choice verbatim. "I need help finding my room and all that." Okay, so I can talk by myself.

"Hmmm I see," his eyes search my body up and down. Strangely enough, I felt violated by this action. He starts shuffling through some of the papers on his desk. "I heard of a foreign transfer student but not an American one… or a male." I really don't like how he said that last part.

"Well, I should be on the list of… transfer students," I was bullshiting I didn't even know if there was such a list.

"Well, let me check that then," OH SHIT THERE ACTUALLY WAS ONE. He shuffled through even more paper before running his finger down a list. "No...no...no… Oh… What's your name by the way?"

"My name?"

What is my name?

My name is…

"Omari."

"Just one name huh? That's a bit peculiar but hey, we do have different cultures after all," he continued to run his finger down the list. "Oh, here you are, wow, really only one name huh?"

Of course, I have a last name. I don't know why I just went with my first one. It felt like I didn't have much of a choice for some reason.

"Let's see, class 2-F, oh how unlucky of you," the man seemed to have a poor opinion of the class. "Well, while the class is terrible the homeroom teacher is an exceptional woman. I'm sure she'll be here soon to show you to your room."

"Alright cool, I'll just… hang around until then."

With that said I took a seat in one of the untaken chairs. Crossed my leg over my knee.

So… what the fuck even is this?

This shit seems way to vivid to be some sort of dream.

I laid my head back in my chair as I continued to think about it.

First of all the way time works is way too consistent compared to most of my dreams. It's really felt like it's been about an hour or so. Not only that but if this was truly a dream then this is one of the most straight forward dreams I've ever had. Usually, it's all over the place.

So what really happened to me then? Did I really die like the start menu said?

If I did… How?

A sinking feeling made its way into my gut. No, it's still way too early to say I died. Let's way all the options first.

Well, it's pretty safe to say this isn't a dream, though I suppose that if I'm here for more than one day I'll know for sure. Until then… I have no idea what this is…

"Welcome to Kawakami academy," I nearly jumped out of my skin from the sudden strong female voice from beside me. "I do hope that daydreaming isn't a habit of yours, otherwise it's going to be a long year for you."

In the presence of the beautiful woman speaking to me, I could only feel like I had to stand up immediately to talk to her… so that's what I did.

Like I mentioned the woman was beautiful. The first thing I noticed was her maroon hair and red eyes. Which aren't as per usual in my world but I can't forget that this is the anime world. Actually, this is a character I remember from Majikoi. This was the main teacher, though I can't remember her name.

"Excuse me, young man, are you going to introduce yourself or just stare at me all day?" She didn't look pissed but the tone of her voice implied it.

"O-Oh sorry ma'am! My name is Omari, I'm from… America.." Just using my first name while introducing myself was already strange enough, I don't even know what country I should specify. I know the U.S uses both first and last names for sure so I can't say that… Let's just go with America for now.

"Umu, I See," She nodded. "Well, it just so happens my class just recently got a transfer student. It's strange to have so many in this short period of time but I suppose of the school council approved it then I don't have much say in the matter," she turns to the door. "Come with me."

"R-right!" I said walking after her as she leaves the room.
