Did someone hack my phone? That spooked me out. No no no no no, my phone! And then I lamented my hacked phone. I needed my phone so I could read.

Well, I can work around that. That was my third thought. But perhaps all three of them were the wrong things to think about at the time.

[BI#-8657 channel has opened.]

[Ah, ah, test, 1, 2, 3, can you earthlings hear me? Yes? Ok, then let's begin the scenario!]

My head snapped up in surprise at a foreign voice suddenly pronouncing loudly in the classroom.

For a unified moment, all my classmates were silent.

Well, I could understand.

After all, the creature floating before us did not exist on Earth. There was an instinct within all of us that classified it as a foreign entity.

That foreign entity, not caring for the flabbergasted earthlings, continued,

[Thank you for choosing to listen. What I'm about to tell you will now change your whole world, and your fate. Perhaps, one day each of you may become the protagonist, soaring above all others in a world filled with magic, mystery, fantasy and adventure!]

The thing did a short bow as it continued on with its nonsense.

[Constellations, please hit the subscribe button, each one is greatly appreciated. I will not disappoint you! Now, let's get on with the action! It will really do you all earthlings good if you read and do whatever the scenario says. Or you might not know what hit you~ Haha!]

It giggled and moved with great dramatic grace, a wicked light in its dark eyes as it snapped its fingers crisply and an holographic screen floated before everyone present.

[The main Scenario has appeared!]

[Hehe, I will not bother you earthlings any farther for now. It may take some time for you to adjust to. I look forward to your opening story!~]

And with a wink, the halo above the creature's head swayed, and then it disappeared, as if the last few moments were a mirage.

But this screen was not.

[Main Scenario #1: Proof of Value]

I blankly absorbed and collected the images captured by my retina, and the sounds by my ears as I waited for my emotions to catch up to me.

Then the dam around me broke, and the flood gates were let loose.

The sudden chattering of the people in their groups trying to make sense of it all competed with one another, amplifying the waves in constructive interference, letting me slowly come back down to earth, surprisingly.

I read the screen with surprising calm, but the information it had was anything but pleasant. And just like a person who read hundreds of novels, I instantly caught onto a loophole.

'one or more creatures'. Does that mean anything, like a plant or bacteria? But no, if that is the case, I have been killing bacteria all the time, yes?
