Your POV
I can't feel anything. My arms, my legs, any part of my body at all. It's just a vague numbness that encompasses my entire being, almost as if I slept on my arm and cut off blood circulation to it.
Where am I...?
Everywhere I look I just see an inky blackness, seemingly stretching on forever in every direction. I try to make a sound, say my name or make any kind of noise, but nothing comes out. Not even a muffled scream.
I'm slowly starting to freak out here... alright come on, think! What was I last doing? How did I end up here?
My mind races while trying to recount what led to me being in this black...void, but nothing comes forward. I can't recall a single thing before finding myself in this endless darkness.
My breathing grows heavier as I start to sweat...wait. Sweat? Breathing?
It feels like my sensations are coming back to me bit by bit. I...I can feel my fingers! It's just a small twitch, but I felt my body!
The feeling of my body parts which I had forgotten are all starting to come back to me. My hands, my arms, my legs and feet. Even my mouth which feels...strangely wet?
"-ssei!"
Wait, I heard something. A person's voice finally reaches my ears. I can hear again! I didn't quite catch what they were saying, but for a brief moment I could hear something other than my own sporadic heartbeat.
"-asleep again or something?"
"-unno, but I've never seen him-"
"-eacher's gonna be mad-"
Suddenly a chorus of noises enters my ears, giving life to the once silent black void I found myself hovering in. A mixture of high and low pitched sounds gives out numerous questions back to back. I try to focus on the multitude of sounds in my surroundings in hopes of bringing myself back to consciousness. The volume grows and grows within my ears, until an ear piercing ring almost makes me go deaf again.
"Issei!" A name is called, and finally my once numb body jumps up, standing at attention.
My eyes blink rapidly while adjusting to the light within the area. My head turns on a slow swivel, and I find myself in a classroom. Heads from the students inside are all staring at me, and a number of them are repressing their laughter at something...I can only guess what.
"Finally awake now, Issei? I know that math isn't your favorite subject, but that doesn't give you an excuse to just sleep the lesson away." A gentle feminine voice speaks to my right, and brings my attention towards them.
A woman with shoulder length brown hair and glasses smiles down at me, but behind that kind facial expression, I can tell she's fairly annoyed at this Issei person. But, why is she looking at me as if I was the one who was sleeping?
"Uhm..." My mouth feels gammy, and my voice croaks out in a dry response. Clearly it hadn't been used for quite some time.
"Don't 'Uhm" me mister. Instead of watching anime all night, you should be getting proper rest to start the school day!" The ruler she had in hand was smacked down across the face of my desk, making me jump.
The rest of the class erupted into a roar of laughter as I noticed how wet my chin felt. Reaching down and wiping at the substance, I realized it was drool.
Was I actually sleeping? So, she was talking to me. But, she called me Issei, and that's not my name. My name is...
The gears in my mind come to a sudden halt, not that they were moving any faster before. I can't remember my name. Actually, I can't even remember how I got here. Obviously I'm in a classroom, that much I can tell, but, as to why I'm here? I haven't the faintest clue.
