Akio trudged along the sidewalk, his feet dragging with each step. His usually spiky white hair was disheveled, and dark circles hung under his eyes. He had barely slept last night, spending seven hours straight guarding Saki's room in his Undead Monarch Armor and Undead Trident.
His clothes were wrinkled, and his school uniform was missing a few buttons, making him look like a mess. His exhaustion weighed heavily on his shoulders, causing him to slouch as he walked. He tried to hype himself up, but his legs felt heavy, and his movements were sluggish.
As Akio stumbled along, his thoughts were a jumbled mess. "Damn, I need some sleep," he muttered under his breath. "Protecting Saki is exhausting, and I barely got any rest." His voice was informal and casual, speaking like how he would around his friends.
As Akio was walking towards his school, he noticed his friends Issei, Matsuda, and Motohama approaching him. The trio greeted him with their usual loud and cheerful voices, but as soon as they saw Akio's disheveled appearance, their expressions turned to one of concern.
"Yo, Akio! What happened, man? You look like you haven't slept for days," said Issei, eyeing him up and down.
Matsuda and Motohama also looked worried, their faces furrowed in concern. Akio couldn't help but feel a bit touched by their concern.
"Nah, guys, I'm fine," Akio said, trying to reassure them. "Just had a bit of trouble sleeping last night, that's all."
The perverted trio exchanged knowing looks, their eyebrows raised suggestively. "Oh, trouble sleeping, huh?" Motohama said, wiggling his eyebrows.
Issei and Matsuda snickered, clearly amused by the implication. Akio blushed, feeling embarrassed.
"Guys, it's not what you think," Akio protested weakly, but the trio just laughed.
"It's okay, man, we won't judge," Issei said, patting him on the back. "Just make sure to get some rest tonight, okay?"
Akio nodded, grateful for their concern. "Yeah, I will. Thanks, guys."
As they walked towards the school, the trio kept cracking jokes and making lewd comments, trying to lighten the mood. Despite feeling embarrassed, Akio couldn't help but smile at their antics.
Rias and Sona sat on a bench in the courtyard, discussing the matter of Akio. Rias expressed her concerns, saying, "I don't know what to do with that necromancer. I feel like we should warn them about him."
Sona nodded in agreement, "Yes, we should. His background is a mystery to us, and his motives are unclear. We can't risk any harm to the school and the students."
As they continued their conversation, they noticed Akio passing by. They couldn't help but notice the eerie aura of decay surrounding him. It was as if the very air around him was slowly rotting away. The trees and plants in the courtyard withered and died as he walked past them. Even the supernatural creatures nearby seemed to be affected, with some of them cowering in fear.
Sona spoke up, "It's like a black hole, slowly sucking everything in its reach."
Rias nodded in agreement, "It's disturbing, to say the least. We can't let him roam freely without keeping a close eye on him."
The tension in the air was palpable, with both of them unsure of what to do next. They knew that they needed to act soon, but they didn't know what their next steps should be.
Akio looked at the ring on his finger, cursing his short memory. "Dammit, why does this ring have to cause me so much trouble? I wanted something to keep me awake!" He muttered under his breath, trying to remember the right command to deactivate the skill Undead King that the ring had bestowed upon him.
He rubbed his temples in frustration as he mumbled to himself, "I need to get a better ring. Something that doesn't kill everything around me." He paused for a moment, looking up and around, checking if anyone was listening before continuing, "And why the hell does it have to give me an aura of decay? It's not like I'm trying to scare people away!"
After a few more moments of fiddling with the ring, Akio finally managed to deactivate the skill and breathed a sigh of relief. "Finally, one less problem to worry about," he muttered under his breath before continuing on his way to school, still feeling exhausted from his night-guarding Saki.
As Akio walked down the school hallway, he felt a sudden buzz in his head. He looked around, but no one seemed to have noticed. Suddenly, a holographic screen appeared before him. It was the system.
{Yo, yo, yo! What's good, my dude? I see you're struggling with your ring again. Ain't that a thang?} the system greeted Akio with a chuckle.
Akio rolled his eyes and thought to himself, "Great, the system's back to torment me."Akio muttered. "Cut the small talk. I'm not in the mood."
{Aww, don't be like that, kid. You know I'm just messing with you.} The system grinned. {But seriously, how are you feeling? You look like a zombie walking around.}
Akio scowled. "I'm fine, all right? Just tired."
{Uh-huh, sure you are.} The system raised an eyebrow. {I ain't convinced. Killing two criminals might have been an easy feat, but it ain't something to forget}
Akio sighed. "I'm telling you, I'm fine. Why are you so worried about me anyway?"
{Cause you killed two dudes, bro.} The system shrugged. {That kind of thing can mess with your head. If you're weak, then I'm weak. And I don't want that, my man. So take care of yourself, and don't forget to rest. I need you to be at your best, Do you feel me?}
Akio snorted. "Please. Killing two lowlifes won't make lose sleep anytime soon."
{If you say so, kid. But remember, your mental state is important too. Don't let yourself get too carried away, all right?}
Akio nodded before the holographic screen disappeared. He couldn't help but feel annoyed at the system's concern. He was fine. He could handle anything that came his way... Suddenly he started to feel like he just aimed a nuke at his own soul. As Akio heads for his classroom, lost in his thoughts, the system suddenly appeared again in front of him.
{Yo yo yo! I'm back, bro. Did you miss me?}
Akio rolled his eyes and sighed, "Not really. What do you want now?"
{I got some juicy info for you, homie. You're the father of Saki's baby now.}
Akio's eyes widened in shock and disbelief, "What?! How is that even possible? I never slept with her! We never even-"
The System interjected, {You remember when you healed her, right?}
Akio furrowed his brows, trying to recall the event, but he couldn't remember anything that could have caused this.
{Well, bro, that's where your dope skill Healing Touch comes in. I bet you didn't know it could rewrite the DNA of the subject being healed, did you? The kid was basically dead and in pieces so your skill didn't just bring it back to good condition, you resurrected the kid.}
Akio's mouth hung open in shock as he processed the information. He was now a father at the young age of 16. "Wait, are you saying I accidentally replaced the kid's DNA with mine while healing her wounds?!" Akio's mind was blown, "That's insane! What about the side effects?"
{Don't worry, my dude. It's all good, just a little bit of memory loss, maybe some hallucinations and some fake memories. No biggie, right?}
Akio shook his head in disbelief, "You're insane. I'm just a high school kid, man. How am I supposed to handle this sh*t?"
The system just chuckled, {That's your problem, bro. But hey, at least you got some game! Congratulations, You're a teen dad now, ain't that something!}
The screen faded away and Akio had to stand there trying to process everything he just learned. How the fuck was he gonna solve this problem!? No importantly, why was he even panicking? No one knows but him. So there shouldn't be a problem... right? RIGHT?
"This game sucks..." Akio muttered with a dark depressing cloud above him.
