(Nero'sPOV)
Why? Why did she have to do that? I guess she really want have a break in life. Now that I have full control to take over her body, her memories started to play in my mind..... Her moments with her family, how they died, how those people treat her so badly. OK I promise I'm going to love happy life.
As I open my eyes I priced here's something where to seen, it looks like that that's such easily merge with this world. I don't have any money to change those male body to a male body, I guess I have to pretend as her and act like her. I decided to go back inside to gecko the others, they are still asleep, then I went to the library and sat at the chair where I was sitting before. After a few minutes Yuno woke up, "What happened? Why am I sleeping on thefloor?" she ask.
"I don't have any idea, just like you I just woke up." I answered, pretending like I don't know what is happening. She just nodded and took her phone out of the pocket. I saw how her expression change, it looks like she notice the date today. "Uh... Hey Aika, can I borrow your phone? I think my phone is broken or something."
I took my phone out of the pocket and hand it over to her. "That's weird... How come the date today is August 17? The day of our school trip is at August 12 which is today...." She said and look at me, I just shrugged. "Why don't we try to look outside and ask someone else." I suggested, she agreed then we exited the library to look for others. 'I hope that everyone is awake now.' I said to myself.
We're just walking towards the main hall where we assembled earlier, and that's where most of the people are including the other visitors. When we arrive, the girl beside me gasped because of what she saw. There are a lot of people here
who are still unconscious. She ran towards them and she checked their pulse, I saw her sighed as a sign of relief. "Thank God they're alive." she smiled. "It looks like they are all asleep." I commented. "Yeah it looks like it. I wonder what happened here..."
We roam inside the museum to check on our schoolmates and teachers. "There are no news updated in past 5 days in the internet, I assume that everyone has fallen into a deep slumber, like what happened to us." she said while looking in her phone. "I guess." I said while checking onto the last guy wearing the same uniform. "That's all of them, wanna go to the school bus to take a break?" I ask, she nodded.
While we're on our way to the parking lot I felt her trying to get close to me, I flinched when she held my hand. She's trembling.... "Hey, you ok?" I ask. "No, I'm worried and scared. What if everyone never wake up again?! Is this going to be the end of the world?!" She exclaimed as her tears fell. "Shh.. Rest assured everything is gonna be fine, don't worry." I hugged her to help her calm down, just like what I always do to my sister. I miss her already.
The moment we arrive at the parking lot we saw the driver of the school bus we are riding is outside, lucky! I open the door. We sat at the seat where we sat earlier. Yuno was clinging to my left arm as she fall asleep. I took the opportunity to start absorbing the pure mana that is currently present in my surrounding. After a few hours I manage to raise my level by 3, as soon as I stop I saw some of the students and teachers are gathering at the parking lot. One of the teachers went inside the bus we are currently in, he told us to gather outside but he notice Yuno sleeping beside me so he just ask for our names and left.
When the teacher left I look outside the window and saw everyone's faces, they're bewildered and scared, some are crying while the others are comforting them. The teachers are all over the place checking if all of the students in each section are complete. When the teachers are done they decided to leave the area and return back to the school. Yuno is still sleeping and my arm is starting to get numb and my shoulder is killing me right now, but it is fine by me. Her friends tried to wake her up but I stop them, she just cried so hard earlier.
While traveling back I look outside and saw a tremendous amount of damage in the city. Cars are crashed, there are still some people laying on the road unconscious, some of them were ran over by the cars that went off lane, there were a lot of blood everywhere I look. All of my classmates started crying and screamingas they saw the horrifying scene outside so the teacher that was with us said to pull the curtains to avoid seeing the outside.
As I pull the curtain down something caught my eye. Something that is floating in the sky and there is a beam of light under it. Is that what I think it is? I immediately shove Yuno off and force the driver to stop driving, I open the door and ran towards the beam ignoring my teacher. I tried to look back to see if they caught up with me but there was no one behind me. As I reached my destination I look up. "I'm glad that you are safe..." I mumbled.
This is a majestic temple that was built by my ancestors, we call it the' Heavens Library'. This place is we're we seal the 8 sins that once destroyed my world.The sins of Pride, Lust, Envy, Wrath, Sloth, Greed, Gluttony, and lastly the most dangerous of all Demonia.
