5 Aephiarene

As Rantaro took his first steps inside the train, it changed him forever, as the train went, he was the only one who was in the train so he just sat down and just wait for it to stop at the next point.

It felt like 2 hours for Rantaro as he waited but after it stopped and opened the door, he got out to see a strange school that suddenly looked familiar. he tried to go back to the train but it left.

He had no choice but to go inside and try to get directions to the next train but as he got in, no one was inside, he walked inside and try to find someone that he could find and help him get home.

As he went outside, there was strangely a train station with a girl with purple hair and purple eyes but looked soulless to her core, he went to her and asked, "Hey, waiting for the train too huh?"

She stared at me and didn't show any expressions of emotions, but was shocked by what she saw, "you can see me?" Rantaro looked at her and replied, "yes". She then grabbed his hand, and immediately took him inside and asked.

"You must be the one, you're the one that can free us from our prison". Rantaro was completely confused on what she was saying, "what do you mean?" she was about to say something until ...

"Announcement time!! All students must attend their dorms or you will have to die from all the servitors that lurk these halls, so you better be ready because the Reaper will never save you".

"Reaper ... Reaper ... what does it mean by Reaper?" he was then dragged to where the girl's dorm was. "You're the Reaper". Rantaro became totally confused by what she meant by, him being the Reaper.

"I see you don't know what I'm talking about, the Reapers are those from the human world to free us servitors from this prison that we call a school, this school was taken from the human world where we as servitors have never heard of, 49 reapers have came and fail but only 2 have survived, you're the 50th Reaper and we all want the 50th reaper to set us free so we can live a free life from this world that we call home".

After she was done explaining, the announcement came back and said, "Alert, Alert, Reaper has arrived, I repeat, Reaper has arrived". As everyone heard the announcement, they gasped and immediately went outside to see who it would be.

As they saw Rantaro, they ran to him, he saw them and ran at a quick pace, trying to avoid getting attacked, they all shouted, "The reaper, we need the Reaper, please help us".

They stopped when they noticed that Rantaro was with a girl, "Sonia, you've found the Reaper? that's not fair, we wanted to meet the Reaper before you". So Sonia was her name, very nice but also familiar name to Rantaro.

As they were arguing with Sonia, Rantaro took this opportunity to escape and look around the school to look for an exit door, he came across a big evil beast, who was staring at him then without reacting attacked.

Its appearance was described as grotesque and sinister, was this what they call a servitor?

Rantaro didn't know what to do but to run, he couldn't fight that creature so he just ran, he then saw a blade, he took it and tried to fend off the beast, it worked but it didn't last long.
