(Prologue)

Listen... No one is judging no one here. 

And so am I. 

The world has been cruel these days. Being modern means being rude to people on the street who are below your rank—That is what they believe. 

I find this all frustrating, why move with a state of mind that could as well kill you someday. You don't know if this person is a lawyer, a far relative, a doctor, a politician. 

But you already get the gist, don't you? 

And like any other teenagers my age, I really want to run away from all this. 

It's not like I am an orphan or from a poor household. I am from a family which is a standard class in economical terms in this world. 

And yet, I want to run away. 

Haha! Anyways. I did succeed. 

I wonder at what cost? 

I am away from all that hostility of course... But now I am in another world.

Not reincarnated. Not transmigrated to another body. I am with my own soul in my original body, but in another world. 

This world... is weird. 

Thinking back, I remember reading a strange book when I was young. This book actually speaks about this world. I am a character there. 

Funnier thing, I don't know what is up with it either. 

It appears to me that the writer decided they want to see the 'live-action' version of it. So now... 

I am the actor playing my ownself.

Everything around me froze. The air felt poisonous and too damp for me to breathe. I could not help but stare at the test sitting in one corner of the table like a death certificate. 


So what I was trying to hide all this time... Was blood cancer?


I have finally started to get a fraction fo my life back and this is what I get at the end of the day?


No no no... Things were always going to go worse regardless. I should have anticipated this since things have been going bad since the day I had come back from the passport office of course. 


Until now, I was thinking of how I was going to fulfil something from my long list of stupid things. Like trying out multi-flavoured ice creams, testing my hands in craft... Turning my life around for the better. 


A shudder ran along my spine as my breath caught at my throat. My lungs felt constricted to a point that inhailing was something to pay for with my sanity. 


Sensing my shift, Avry moved a bit. Shoving my head away now that I was awake. I wasn't even hurt. 


"So... How can we treat her?" She asked, folding her arms in front of her. 


The physician paused, tapping his pen against his clipboard. "Well, she seems to have already digested her powers fast enough. So her blood can't be filtered out. But then, that would have to result in having to chop down her limps if she is alright with it...?" 


"What other options are there?" I asked, ignoring Avry. She was shocked that I had taken such a short time to recover from my own shock. Then she shook her head and looked away. 


"We... Could give you surpressants to keep down the pain. But you will have to sacrifice an eyeball then," he replied. His expression grim. 


"Hm? Alright then. That is it, I choose the surpressants." Losing an eye was better then not being able to move again. Ask anyone in the world, they would answer the same. 


Being half-blind seems like an investment here. 


"Are you sure?" He curved an eyebrow up. "The surpressants can sometimes lead to addiction. And it can kill you too if you take a little too much of it." 


Ah! Then I know very well what the surpressants are.


"Still. I will take it," I answered while hoping down from the bed. My head gave a single loop, before settling down. 


Before he could say anything, I reached out towards the side table right next to the device. A small bottle of pills. 


"Relax... I know what he means by 'surpressants'," I answered while popping the lid open. Without a thought, I took out two pills and tipped my head back. Tossing them into my mouth.
