Chapter 1

I want to ask you a question. It isn't a hard question so no need to worry. So the question is...

Question: What are you most grateful for?

It's a simple question, no? No far from it...there can be hundreds if not thousands of answers to that question.

In fact, many people take for granted what they have. There are children in 3rd world countries starving to death.

Humans polluting the ecosystem and causing global warming.

Wars being fought by the innocent to please the big guys up top and to rob resources.

In any case back to the question. What are you most grateful for?. To me that answer is simple....my normal ordinary life. I get to eat, sleep, read my favourite works of fiction and repeat it all over again the next day.

What, that's boring you say. That may be so, but that's just how I like things, simple and relaxing. There are no raging teenage hormones, no social activities, no dates or hangs, no extreme sports activities. Only me my books and I....or so I thought.

" I've decided it's best you socialize more, so I've signed you up for an international program abroad. You'll be packing your things this week and going straight to Korea."

A random woman, no my mother specifically said as she sat opposite me. I could only stare at her blankly for a good minute...and the only thing that came out of my mouth after that was. 

" Huh?"

" Sigh, like I said you're going to be going to school abroad. I didn't want to do this but you left me no choice. I won't stand and wait for my son to be more proactive in life as we both know that isn't going to happen. Pluss I want grandchildren to spoil so I hope when you come back you at least come back a man and not some little hermit virgin."

That comment physically hurt me. My own mother called me a virgin. I would expect it from a bully maybe but my mother...wait on second thought it's not that surprising. I'm just surprised she is being so blunt about it.

There was an awkward silence between us

For a good while. Looking at her unyielding eyes I knew I had no say in the matter. I either go or she'll cry, and she knows my weakness is a woman's tears. Sigh what a drag.

" Fine, ill go but only for a year. If I don't like it there I'm coming back immediately. No questions asked." He could only compromise for now. But hey you never know he might like it there.

" Yataaa! That's my boy, I know you wouldn't disappoint me. Ok, tonight I'm making your favourite curry rice."

That got me to perk up. Alright maybe reading wasn't the only thing I liked. I also loved eating curry rice. Any kind of curry dish to be more specific.

" Ahhh, but I forgot to buy rice this morning. Dear can you go to the store and get me some pleas." She said, her eyes shining like a puppy. Goddamit, how is that even humanly possible to be so cute at such an age?

(Dudundun)*

Huh, where did the sudden boss music come from? And what's with the temperature of the room. And why do I suddenly feel a sudden spike of killing intent towards me? Mechanically turning my head I see my mother smiling at me with a smile that wasn't a smile.

" Mhhhh, ara is my son thinking rude things about me."

The hell, what's with that crazy sixth sense. I only commented on her...

The killing intent rose. Shit.

" N-n-,no I was just thinking how cute and beautiful you were mom, definitely nothing else."He said, his palms become even more sweaty.

" I's that so, then I guess it's fine. Now hurry up and get that rice or I won't be cooking tonight. Understood."

" Yes, MAM."

Scarry, to scarry. Note to self, never call a woman old. Sigh.

Quickly putting on my shoes and jacket I left for the convenience store about 10 minutes away from my house. It was dark outside and I was bored so I just started to read a new chapter of a book I've been reading.

And in no time at all, I made it to the store. It wasn't a big store but it sold a lot. From food to hygiene products. I might need to buy a few for the trip ahead...to think ill be leaving Japan for a whole year.

It's not like I've never travelled to other countries before, but I stayed no longer than a month there before leaving.

Hell, I've even spent a week on a criminal infested Island. Ah good times, I wonder how all the aunties and uncles there are doing. I haven't sent a letter to them in a while. I should get on that.

After looking a while I found the rice I like. It was called basmati rice. It absorbed water and spices well.

After going to the counter and paying for it I walked out of the convenience store. There was no one in the streets beside me. It was quiet and peaceful. Looking up he couldn't help but marvel at the stars. They could be clearly seen at night, especially the moon. It was a full moon tonight.

" I wonder what the stars will look like in Korea." After pondering for a while he started walking back.

(Whisper)*

Huh, did someone say something, did I hear right. Looking left and right he saw no one.' Hmm, must have been my imagination.

(Whisper)*

There it was again. Where was it coming from? He looked all around him but saw no one...

" W...ch.o...t" the whisper become more clear and actually, it wasn't a whisper at all but a shout.

Ahh, I see it not left or right of me but above me. He looked at the stars again but this time a massive black hole found its way above his head inches away from hitting him. Before he could react it hit him directly in the face. The impact destroying the asphalt under him.

The last thing he thought before blacking out was.

Soft.

///////////////////

Mhhhhh, I just had the strangest of dreams. I thought I just saw a hot big bobbed blonde fall from the sky and hit my face. How strange.

Just as he was about to get up he felt something soft beneath him, this sensation, this texture, the way I'm laying....c-could this be.

THE LEGENDARY LAP PILLOW.

Looking up he saw the same woman who had crashed into him. She had her eyes shut so he didn't know if she was just sleeping or just resting her eyes.

" Maa, your finally awake. How are you feeling." She said while giving me a caring onechan smile.

Umu, not bad. It's not bad waking up like this....wait a minute. Looking closer at this onechan he couldn't help but notice. Are those freaking horns on her head.

No, they might be cosplay. Well, it could be especially with what she's wearing.

She wore a pink and white snapback on her head. A black tank top that sexualized a curvy but well proportionate body and showed of her milky white skin and cleavage. A pair of blue-jeaned booty shorts that did nothing to hide her above-average behind and finally a pair of black knee-high socks creating what most weebs like to call...the absolute territory. And right now I'm laying on that territory.

'I can die happy now.'

The woman who didn't know what was going on in the MCs mind just smiled and said.

" I'm sorry for what happened, it seemed something went wrong with my teleportation array and I ended up falling on you. Ah, I haven't introduced myself yet have I. My name is Queetzelquatal but my friends called me Lucua."

looking at lucua he could only think' I've gotten myself involved in something troublesome again haven't I.'

Sigh," It's nice to meet you to Queetzelquatal-san. The names Kazuo Delgado but I'm not one for formalities so Kazuo or Kazu is just fine."
