00- āAre you serious?ā 1,2
Iām kinda a loser to be honest. My grades are average, my looks areā¦ well, okay? Iām just, you knowā¦ an average senior about to graduate. College is still a big question mark. I donāt really have anything going for me. Still job-hunting, but at least Iāve got an apartment. Mom sends rent money every month.
[Name] slowly sat up in bed with a weary grunt. The motion stirred a of wrappers and empty bottles that tumbled off the edge like old people dying in nursing homes.
āGod, I really need to clean up,ā she muttered, rubbing at her scalp. Her fingers snagged briefly in a knotted tangle of hair.
The moon filtered through half-drawn blinds, spilling silver light across the cluttered room. Outside, the stars blinked with quiet judgment, peering into her restless gaze.
Her stomach let out a grumble loud enough to make her wince from embarrassment.
āSo damn hungryā¦ I need a snack.ā
Without consciously deciding, she was already in the kitchenette, yanking open the fridge door. Cold air seeped out, along with the familiar disappointment. A faint smell of forgotten leftovers lingered.
āFuckā¦ I knew I shouldāve saved those noodles.ā
She shrugged on a hoodie and stepped out into the crisp night, walking with half-hearted urgency toward the 7/11 down the block. Each step on the pavement tapped steady that matched her thoughts.
āLays chips? What flavor thoughā¦ maybe barbecueā¦ā she murmured, lost in deliberation. Then, realizing she was talking out loud again, she cleared her throat. āRight. Let me stop. No wonder people give me weird looks.ā
Inside the store, her eyes wandered over neatly lined manga. She reached out, fingers brushing against one, flipping through the pages with idle curiosity.
āAh, I see. This is where they suck you in,ā she said, voice low and amused.
Outside the window, a couple walked together, smiling beneath the moonlightāso effortlessly wrapped in each otherās world.
[Name] sighed, gently closing the book and setting it back. āMaybe one day,ā she thought.
Glancing over to the ramen section, she made a face at one of the options. āNah, not natto,ā she muttered and reached for a familiar bag of potato chips.
Startled, she pausedābut the voice faded into silence. Shaking it off, she approached the counter.
āThatāll be 363 yen.ā
She fished out her wallet and paid without comment, stuffing the receipt into her hoodie pocket as she stepped back into the night.
Music drifted faintly from somewhereāa slow, haunting melody that didnāt belong to any nearby speaker. She stood at the edge of the road, watching as cars flickered past in streaks of light.
She turned her gaze to the left, eyes drawn by something unseen.
From the shadows, something dark and skeletal reached toward herālike the silhouette of a hand stretching across dimensions.
Her legs moved as if pulled forward by invisible strings. The traffic had vanished and was back in town. Only silence remained.
āI guess anyoneās eyes would be tired after holing up in their room, gaming all day,ā she said quietly, dabbing at her dark under-eye circles.
She blinked. And just like thatāit was morning.
Cars bustled around her. The city had transformed, and alive with movement.
āWhen did it become daytime? And where the hell am I?ā
She spun slowly, absorbing the unfamiliar skyline and glowing billboards.
āThis stuff obviously isnāt fakeā¦ So does that meanā¦ Iāve been summoned to a different universe?!ā
Later, she wandered the streets, absorbing lore from the world around her. Apparently, heroes with powers were real here?
āOne of the popular ones is called Invincible? Lame. Wanna-be knockoff Superman. Wait, would I get copyright for saying thatā¦ Whatever.ā
She flipped through a magazine while walking, skimming articles on hero rankings, scandals, and power classifications.
āI wonder who the villains areā¦ā
