Ch 1.

A young man in his mid-twenties locked the front door of his house, after adjusting his clothes and checking his bag to see if he had forgotten anything to take. After making sure everything was in place, he started moving to his destination.

He was currently wearing office clothes, consisting of a blazer, White shirt, and pants with shoes. He looks no different from the Usual salaryman in Japan. 

His appearance is also that of a normal Japanese man with little above-average facial features and a fit body. Currently, the time was 6 am, since his workplace is 2 hours away by train he had to wake up early to get the train at 6:15 am. He didn't buy any private vehicles because taking public transport is cheaper and risk-free than private one.

As it is early in the morning the whole street is mostly empty with only some people going either for their work like him, some students going to their morning coaching and there are also some people doing their morning exercises though most of them are old people. 

After reaching the train station and getting his pass checked at the checking centre he sat on the seat on the platform waiting for his train to come which didn't take long as after only 5 minutes of sitting on the bench the train arrived. He was able to get onto the train without any problem as it was still too early for the train to get crowded.

After taking his seat he closed his eyes to get some minutes of sleep before the train started to get full of people then he won't be getting any of his needed rest. The people present on the train currently with him were doing the same thing or looking outside to see the morning of Japan.

As the train passed through more stations, more people started to climb in making it fully crowded until he reached his station. He was somehow able to get off the train when it stopped at his station. 

After adjusting his clothing again and making sure everything was okay. He was again back to walking to his office which was 15 minutes away on walking distance from the train station.

The time was already 8:am, and though the place wasn't very crowded the streets were getting lively with people walking around doing their things. He went inside his office building, took off his shoes and wore his office shoes.

He cleaned his place of work first after entering and then finally sat on his seat. He started his work day by looking at the E-mails he got on his company E-mail account. This was his must-do daily as the boss of the company or their manager told him about their work directly Via E-mails and stuff.

After seeing what is his goal for today, he started his work. He was the earliest who came to the office so after him, other staff members also started to come and join him. 

He works as a programmer in a small IT company that takes work from other companies for mostly games and stuff. Their work mostly consists of looking for bugs, removing them, removing glitches and stuff or they were advised to tell about them to the game company. 

He works for 9 to 5 jobs but he has to mostly do overwork daily because of which he is always tired. He wasn't alone in that as most of his co-workers and colleagues were in the same situation as him. Anyone can see that they are tired bunch by just looking at the deep dark circle around their eyes. 

Looking at the computer from morning to night has become everyone's habit here, which also made most of them wear spectacles and if someone from outside comes here they will only hear the sound of the keyboard's key clicking and nothing else as the interaction between the people happened here only when their work was finished and they were going for some light brunch or something.

Everyone just wants to finish their work and go home but that is not possible for now as they just got an E-mail about a new big game being released in some days and they have to check its bugs and remove them. It would be best if this kind of thing was given to them with more time to work on as it is not easy to find bugs and then remove them in a short period.

But as a small company, they don't get much of a choice and have to take every work they can get or else they can't do business or something. But because of this, the one who suffers the most is the Employees as they have to finish this kind of thing in time. Making them not able to go home for some days and remain at the office all the time.

" Kazuki-kun, Please check this file of the ROZ ( Raid of Zel-haad )." ( Co-worker )

One of the men working in the office came to him, who was busy with his work to check some files on the New game they were going to work on. Kazuki groaned inwardly looking at the big pile of documents and just told his Co-worker.

" Please place them on my desk." ( Kazuki )

" Okay." ( Co-worker )

After hearing that the Co-worker placed the files on Kazuki's desk while Kazuki was busy with working on the stuff that he got at Today's E-mail. It's tough to be a normal salary man as for the whole day it is just work, work and work. 

Kazuki, After finishing his today's work checked the files without eating his lunch and after approving it, a new set of work came to him and his co-workers. The cycle of work in this company was never-ending, the same case was for other small and big companies as the employees' and employers' lives mostly revolved around their work.

Work that doesn't give them any kind of satisfaction even when they finish it, they don't get any motivation or are happier by doing this kind of work but they still do it for a single reason and that is money. For the money, they are selling their souls to some corporate companies so they can take care of their bodies but Kazuki isn't that lucky.

Once he got up after completing his work his vision suddenly blurred and the next second he fell on the ground. His co-workers and colleagues hearing the thud sound looked in his direction and found Kazuki on the floor, motionless.

Seeing this all of them got up from their seats and rushed to him.

" Kazuki! Hey what happened? Hey! Open your eyes." ( One of the co-workers. )

" Kazuki-san, Open your eyes. Someone calls the ambulance.!" ( another one of the co-workers)

The office suddenly became the place where people started to call for Kazuki to wake up while some went to call the ambulance. The incident caused everyone to stop their work and start looking after Kazuki but when the Ambulance came it was too late.

Kazuki Tachibana, a 26-year-old man, single, with no parents, had been declared dead when the nurse checked his pulse. Kazuki's cause of death was overwork and not taking care of his body and mind.

" Haah, haah, haah, What was that? Why, I suddenly felt pain in my heart? Where am I?" ( ??? )

A young teenager, about the age of 17 asked himself as he looked around. His head was hurting and some information that he didn't know about started to pour into his mind.

After taking some deep breaths to calm himself down he was finally able to look at his surroundings. He found himself at his school's rooftop which he usually comes to during lunch period but that wasn't a problem. The problem was that the sun was setting on the horizon meaning that he didn't attend his class after lunch and the school was already over. 

Seeing this he ran to the edge of the terrace to see if the students from the football club were still present which he found that they were. Seeing this he sighs in relief as it means the school gates are still open.

He ran downstairs to his class to take his school bag and then went out of the school quickly. Thankfully the school gates weren't closed or else he would have to live inside the school building for tonight.

He doesn't know when he falls asleep at the Terrace. The last thing he remembered was saying goodbye to his English teacher who also likes to frequent the school terrace at lunch period and after doing that, he doesn't remember anything. He usually goes there to write or more can be said practice writing novels and stories. His goal in life is to become a successful novelist.

He went quickly to his home. After reaching his home he finally sighed in relief. He didn't know what happened to him but he knew that something had happened as the memories that didn't belong to him were popping out in his mind like boiling water and his mind was currently screaming at him to go to his room and lay on his bed. 

Which he did and in the second he laid his body on the bed, everything stopped for him as he directly went unconscious.
