To tell you I was shocked would be an understatement. I was horrified. I froze and stared as my death was approaching me really fast. Time seemed to slow down urging me to jump away from the danger. I didn't.

I couldn't.

And then great force crashed into me, launching my body into flight. When it hit the ground, I became unconscious from all the pain. I think I died before an ambulance even arrived.

No, I wasn't crossing the road at a red light. I'm not careless and I'm aware of traffic laws. My mum, who has a car and has been driving for years, made sure I understand what might happen to people who break 'em. Honestly, there was no way I'll be hit considering how freaking paranoid I am around cars. It all started that one evening. I was walking back home through the yards, and I turned around, for some reason, and there was a car right behind me and I didn't even heard anything. Scary as hell.

Anyway, back to the topic. You see, I wasn't even crossing the road when it happened. I was walking on the sidewalk, feeling upbeat 'cos I just took my order – a brand new checkered bandana. Not for the cosplay or anything. I wanted to wear it to college daily. It seemed pretty comfy to wear. Also, I was confident it'd suit me.

Definitely not because I like Kokichi.

I was going home, I didn't really have any other business to attend. The weather was nice, and it was Sunday. Perfect time for walk, but not for me. I'd rather stay home and finish "Ace Attorney: Justice for All". These cases won't solve themselves. I was safe.

Or so I thought.

Who would have known I'm gonna be hit by a car on the sidewalk? Where, I don't know, people supposed to walk safely? A driver must have been drunk as hell if he didn't even attempt to stop or turn his car the other way. I remember the sudden noise behind me and when I turned around, I saw him making his way to me at high speed. The last thought I had was 'Shit! No college for me on Monday!'

Yeah, no college for me. Not in this life.

I didn't believe in God, only in infinite circle of rebirthing when I was alive. And in spirits, I guess. The idea of having more than one life to live through seemed both comforting and exciting to me. And it was also supported by science! Kinda. The point is, I didn't want to disappear after I die. I wanted to become something new.

Lucky to me, I did get a new life. But little did I expect to find myself here out of all places. And little did I expect to become a harem protagonist.

***

The first thing I see when I wake up – darkness. I'm not sure first if I'm alive or not, but then I feel my sore muscles screaming in agony and I understand. I am alive. And I'm in a metal closet leaning on a wall half-standing half-sitting. It seems like I was sleeping in that position for a while. No wonder my body in pain.

I try to stand up properly, which immediately leads to failure. I bump my head. I try again, carefully this time. Success! Now I can see a bunch of slits. The room behind them poorly illuminated and I can't see that well what's in here. Also, the slits are thin. All I am certain about is this room is full of greenery for some reason. Am I in abandoned building?

Well, let's see if I can get out of here.

I push what I assumed is the door, but it refuses to open. I hear it clanging and that's about it. It's either locked or stuck. Great. However, bold of you assume I'm going to cry for help. There is much bigger chance the person, whose body I took was kidnapped, then if they were tricked by some assholes to go with them into abandoned building only to be shoved in a locker and left completely alone. Nah, doesn't sound likely to me. Although I'd prefer to end up in that kind of situation, let's be realists.
