Highschool DxD: The Game (Early Work)

Part #2. Goals.

(Hello! I don't believe I really need to say anything so here we go! -Oh! Wait, I hope you all are having a great day! ... Still!)

---+Kyu POV+---

So. Disabling Gamer's Mind was probably one of the worst ideas I've ever had, as soon as I fell asleep I got a nightmare... It was horrible... I was reliving being murdered, I remembered how my arm felt, I remembered how I felt helpless as I bled out... I woke up after reliving my death 13 times, I couldn't help but count. I felt my heart racing as I held up my right hand and saw that it was shaking... I was shaking... I held my right wrist with my left hand... I was horrified, I wondered what the cause was because I had fallen asleep once without any nightmares so why is... This... Happening... Oh... I guess it's because of disabling Gamer's Mind. I stared at my hand for so long, I couldn't help but make sure it didn't fall off again...

I wiped the sweat off of my forehead and then I immediately went to my Settings and enabled Gamer's Mind. I wiped the sweat that had formed on my forehead away with my hand and got out of bed, I looked at my alarm clock and saw that it was two in the morning. I got out of bed and looked outside of my window, It was dark... Like that night...

I breathed in and out, I reminded myself that I won't have to go through that again if my Gamer's Mind stays enabled...

I grabbed my right arm to make sure it was there before deciding to get ready for the day, I walked into the bathroom and took my uniform off, I threw it in the washing machine near the sink and turned it on, I took a quick shower after that and grabbed a new outfit consisting of some jeans, a dark green shirt, and my usual orange running shoes.

I walked downstairs into the kitchen and I started grabbing some ingredients, since I'm up I might as well make my parents some breakfast.

I made some coffee for them and started working on a big breakfast. After cooking for a while I placed some lids on the food to keep it warm and I walked over to the living room and nearly collapsed onto the couch. I turned on the TV and watched whatever caught my interest, I was only half paying attention to it though, my mind was still on my death. I blankly stared at the TV for what seemed like an eternity, although it was only for about thirty minutes. I laid down and looked at the ceiling, I stayed that way for about an two hours and thirty minutes, I heard my Mother and Father walking down the stairs.

I sat up and got off of the couch, I walked to the kitchen and started dishing out the food i had made, it was a classic breakfast, Pancakes, Bacon, Eggs, stuff like that.

Mother: "It's nice to see you awake so early." My mother commented.

"Y-yeah... G-gotta work hard at s-school... Right?" I said nervously.

Father: "Yep" My father spoke.

"I'm gonna go get dressed" I said and walked upstairs, I entered the bathroom and got my uniform out of the washer, I dropped it in the dryer and it was done in a few minutes, I pulled my uniform out and brushed my teeth before going into my room and changing into the uniform, I decided to wrap the ribbon around my left wrist again. I looked at my alarm clock and saw that it was almost time for school. So i grabbed my bags and walked downstairs, I bid my parents goodbye and started walking to school. When I reached Kuoh Academy, I looked around and saw one of my best friends. He was wearing the standard male Kuoh Academy uniform, but he got rid of the ribbon and replaced the striped undershirt with a dark sky blue hoodie. He stood at 6'2" His skin was quite dark, and he had black hair with blonde highlights that he had styled in a buzz cut. He had brown eyes and on his right eye, there was a small vertical scar. He had running shoes with a similar style to mine, however they were red with black stripes.

"Hey Tristen, How ya been?" I asked. Extremely surprised at how he was in Japan.

Tristen: "Sup, I've been pretty good, what about you?" He asked.

"About the same." I replied.

We started walking around and he explained how he had moved here because one of his parents had gotten a job here. Once we reached Kuoh Academy, we began looking around the large building. After walking around for a bit, the bell rang and I went to my first year classes while he went to his second year classes. After my class I had a little bit of free time on my hands, so I decided to check out the rest of the area, I ended up settling down at the tree that I had sat at for lunch. I leaned against the tree and looked at the sky, I was thinking about... Well, my life, it basically had no meaning, I never really had any goals, no one really knew who i was. But... I have a second chance, I think... It's time I get a goal, but where to start...

Well, I guess I should start off simple, I looked at the tree I was leaning against.

"I guess my first goal... Will be to climb this tree." I muttered to myself.

'Yeah, it sounded a little lame, but you have to start somewhere right?' I thought as I grabbed a branch and tried hoisting myself upwards.

(Thanks for reading everyone, this ending may seem a little rushed so... Sorry if it seems like that to you. Anyway I hope you all have a great day!)
