Atsushi's pov

  I woke up, only to find out that I was in a bedroom.

  "Where am I?" I asked myself. I then looked around, only to see a familiar school uniform.

  "Wait a minute," I said to myself. "That uniform..."

I then recalled the time I watched "Seraph of the End" a few days before my death. After that, I gasped in shock and thought. "Am I being reborn into the world of the Seraph of the End?!"
Just then, a phone alarm rang on the nightstand. It was the same one I had in my previous life, complete with a Bluetooth headset and a digital wristwatch from my previous life. Upon noticing them, I thought to myself," My phone...." I then grabbed it, turned off the alarm, and got up, opening the curtains, revealing the scenery of a post-apocalyptic world.

  "Wow, sure there's an apocalypse out there," I said to myself.

And then, someone is knocking on my door, calling my name, Atsushi Nakayama.

Is that my name here now? I think so. Well, I'll just have to adapt in order to survive. So, I walked to the front door and opened it, only to see a boy with green eyes wearing the same uniform as I have in my room. It was Yuichiro Hyakuya.

I was surprised, with my eyes big for a few seconds.

And then, Yuichiro said to me, "Atsushi-kun, do you know what time it is?"

Looking at him, I pretended to not know him and responded, "Who are you?"

  "Don't you remember me?" Yuichiro replied back seriously. "I'm Yuichiro Hyakuya, your childhood friend."

Now I get it. I then suddenly had a memory of us running away from someone or something in the middle of the night while it was snowing. It was the scene where the vampires attacked the children, including Mikaela. After that, I pretended to know about Yuichiro and replied, "Yes, I remember now. You are my childhood friend."

  "Man, what happened to you? Do you have amnesia or something?"

  "Sorry, a little bit of memory loss," I made a lie to him.

  "Okay then. Anyhow, you gonna be late for school."

  "Oh, okay, I'll be there in 10 minutes."
I then closed the door and started to eat breakfast fast. I didn't cook because I only had limited time, so I go for an oatmeal with milk and coffee. In my previous life, I loved oatmeal more than eggs or hotdogs. It was really healthy and good, so I had been eating it almost every day. My family had no problem of me eating that kind of food.

  After 10 minutes, I got out of the apartment in my school uniform and walked to school with Yuichiro. Along the way, I used the map of my phone to find where is our school. The strange thing is that there is Wi-Fi in this world despite being post-apocalyptic. What is going on here? Who set it up? In my conclusion, I think it was essential for my survival in this world, so I can take it. And so, I listened to music while walking because I missed them already ever since I died being ran over by a car.

Not long after, we arrived at Yuichiro's school, and after some readjustments, at least for me, we arrived at our class.

  Later, while I was taking notes, Yuichiro suddenly interrupted our class, prompting our teacher to give him a harsh scolding.

  "Man, I felt bad for him getting suspended," I thought to myself, knowing the story in my previous life.

  Later after class, Yuichiro tore up a piece of paper containing a message from someone, which turns out to be Guren, and stormed out of the classroom, prompting me to grab my shoulder bag and catch up with him in the hallway.

  "Wait!" I said to him.

Yuichiro then stopped walking and looked at me.

Catching for my breath, I looked at him and asked, "What's wrong, Yuichiro-kun?"

Sighing heavily, Yuichiro replied back, "I had to make a friend if I want to join the Imperial Demon Army."

  "It's okay, Yuichiro-kun," I responded back in assurance. "You and me can do this, together."

Looking at me being serious, Yuichiro agreed with me. "Okay."

  I decided to navigate and live in this world by giving Yuichiro and his friends help whenever they need me while keeping my identity and origin a secret. I also decided to continue my habits, behavior, and self-learning in this world.
