1. Prologue

Stars were scattered throughout the dark sky and the moon was floating gently. There was not even a single cloud in the seemingly endless sky. Under the sky, lied a modernized city. It was a lively city. Even though it was the middle of the night, the city streets were crowded.

Chatters of the people, horns of the cars, and laughter of the youngsters all blended into a single loud sound. However, unlike the lively and energetic atmosphere down there in the city, a 22 years old man sat on the edge of the roof of a 150 meter tall skyscraper quietly.

He looked at the crowd from up above with an expressionless face. His legs was casually dangling off the edge. But he neither feared nor panicked. His hollow blue eyes would remind the pain of burdens to anyone who saw them. His disheveled light brown hair didn't go well with his somewhat new suit either. He was a mess.

While I was reading a novel I had started a few weeks ago at the top of the skyscraper, I frowned after realizing I had finished all the available chapters. But that wasn't what bothered me really.

I clicked my tongue out of annoyance, "This trash author! How could he drop the novel when it was almost finished!"

I threw my phone to the side and started pondering. As if taking a decision that can determine wether I die or not.

"Well, I guess... My time is up!" I shouted, yet my voice was soon subdued by the sound of the city. I involuntarily flashed a bitter smile.
