{A/N: Just to make it clear, I will make this fanfiction a completely different AU since there will be some events that didn't happen in the canon of the Arifureta story. I'm only doing this because I had this idea suddenly pop into my head when I was reading an Arifureta fanfiction.}
----This Chapter is Written by Void-King----
The scenes of a destroyed bridge can be seen in the darkest part of the Labyrinth, with a few Magic Stones illuminating their surroundings. On the said bridge, a group of people can be seen on the other edge.
"HAJIME-KUN, SHIZUKU-CHAN!" Shirasaki Kaori yells and tries to go to where her crush and best friends are, but she is being stopped by her classmates and some of the knights who were with them.
She does her best to G towards her Best friend and crush, but suddenly, she feels her consciousness slipping away. That's due to the Captain of the Knights, Meld, delivering a karate chop to her neck.
The group drags the unconscious Kaori out of the bridge towards a safe spot.
On the part of the collapsed bridge, a girl can be seen holding onto a part of the bridge with one hand, while her other hand is holding another person.
"Yaegashi-san, please let me go. At least save yourself," Hajime Nagumo says to the girl.
"No, we will get through this. They will come and help us," Yaegashi Shizuku says while trying her best not to lose her grip on the bridge.
She can feel her arms getting numb as the minutes pass, and she is slowly losing her strength. Even so, she does her best to hold on since not only her life is at stake but also the life of another person dear to her.
While still struggling to hold on, she could see a shadow of someone approaching them. She couldn't see their face because her eyes are starting to get dizzy, and the visibility is low due to the darkness of the room.
"Oh, so you two are still holding on, but too bad I need the two of you to be gone," the person says. Shizuku can hear that it's a female voice, but she can't identify it. In the next moment, she feels pain in her hands, which is due to the unknown girl stabbing Shizuku's hands with a knife.
Due to this, Shizuku unintentionally lets go of her grip, and she and Hajime fall down into the abyss.
"KYAAHH!" Shizuku screams as she and Hajime fall into the abyss.
You might ask, how did it end up like this? To answer that, let's rewind time.
On a normal day in Japan, the sun is starting to rise from the horizon, indicating that a new day has arrived.
For some, this is just a normal day, but for Hajime, this is a very special day because it's Monday. You may ask, how did it become special? Well, every Monday, Shizuku, his childhood friend, and first love, will come to his house early in the morning, and the two of them will go to school together. You may ask again, why do they go to school together? The answer is quite simple: the two have been best friends since childhood, and during their grade school days, they would always go to school together every day. However, this changed during their high school days because when everyone saw the two of them going to school together, they misunderstood that they were in a relationship. To make it worse, someone started spreading rumors about Hajime, such as him seducing Shizuku and blackmailing her.
Kouki, the school heartthrob, even confronted Hajime, saying that he should stay away from Shizuku, or else he would report him to the authorities. Shizuku tried to stop Kouki and the spreading of rumors, but it didn't help. Instead, someone made it even worse, claiming that Hajime was a disgusting otaku who was blackmailing Shizuku to do his bidding.
So, the two decided to stop going to school together and only go together early in the morning, before the other students arrive at the school grounds.
Hajime had his breakfast, and after eating, he immediately went outside and waited for Shizuku. After a few minutes, Shizuku arrived.
"Good morning, Hajime-kun."
"Good morning, Yaegashi."
The two greeted each other and went on their way toward the school. While walking, they had a conversation about what they did during the weekends.
Once they arrived at their school, they went their separate ways. Hajime went to their homeroom, while Shizuku stopped by the kendo club room to do her daily check on the equipment.
Another thing that everyone knows, the rest of the story unfolds with Hajime sleeping during class, Kaori insisting that Hajime eat more during lunchtime, and their classmates glaring at Hajime. Then, the summoning magnet appears, and the whole class gets summoned to the world of Tortus and is asked to fight in a war that isn't theirs.
***
Back to the present, Shizuku is on the ground, unconscious. After a few minutes, she starts to wake up.
"Where am I?" she asks herself, feeling pain in her body. She takes a look around her surroundings and remembers that she fell from a bridge due to someone.
She looks at her bleeding hands and uses a piece of her clothes to bandage her wounds. Then, she looks around once more, remembering that she wasn't the only one who fell.
She searches for any trace of Hajime's whereabouts while ignoring the pain allover her body, but it seems that she and Hajime got separated during their fall since There's no Trace of young boy in her surrounding not even a Shadow of the boy can be seen.
She immediately gets up and starts running, with only one goal in mind: and that is to find Hajime in this abyss.
Unknown to Shizuku, the Place where she is currently in was a Place filed with Dangerous Monsters, and this place is where her New Life will start.
