The Blood Festival: Chapter 0

Prologue: A New "Player"

?????,??????, Lily's House?

「Hm? This is.....」I noticed another aberration in my players, 
「Meia-chan....can you stop playing with me? I don't need a new player!」
「Why? You ignored the other ones I made and this one, you won't like to have Nyeow?」
「Tch.」
「Are you scared that the person you've been preventing on joining the fray is going to join soon Nyeow?」
「You did another unnecessary thing!」
「You can't do anything to stop it now. Plus, he might be even on our side Nyeow?」
「He is the only person I don't want.... I don't them to go through the same thing all over again...」
「Don't worry, Nyeow. He will be able to figure something out, after all, he is my best friend's favorite. Nyeow」
「Tch.」

The Clockworks Horizon, ?????

「What was that?」
「Hiiragi?」
「I don't know」Me and Accelia wondered who was the person who screamed. While we were wondering who was the person who screamed, we started to feel a heavy vibration. The vibration was strong enough to disturb the water which was difficult to disturb, as if there was going to be a really high magnitude earthquake, 
「What now!?」The vibration got stronger and stronger, it was enough for us to lose our balance. Instead of moving more, we just sat down and waited for the earthquake to finish but it didn't stop. Instead of getting weaker, the earthquake got stringer and stronger, eventually we started to see the landscape far away started to go up, collide with each other and diverge. 
「Run!」Accelia immediately stood up and ran away as fast as she could, I chased her without thinking, 
「Where are we going!?」I asked Accelia, 
「Anywhere but here! If an indestructible place is getting destroyed, it's surely dangerous!!」Accelia ran faster and so did I, 
「How do you know that!?」I asked, 
「Just because! Idiot!」Accelia took out a key from her pocket and suddenly a door appeared out of nowhere, 
「I'm not even gonna ask how that thing got there! let's just go!」Accelia opened the door and went in first. 

When I transcended the door, a bright light greeted me, I closed my eyes in reflex. When I opened my eyes, in front of me was the Academy garden and beside me was Accelia, 
「I'm tired.....」I rubbed my head and took a deep breath. 
「Yeah, I'll be going back to my room. See you tomorrow」Accelia brushed off the dust that got on her black stuffed cat then she went the separate way from my way, 
「I guess, I'll go buy Kami-nee the chocolate she wanted」I head out to the entrance of the academy which is a giant metal bar gate with fancy framing and shapes of the metal. I, then followed the track which I somehow assumed that it lead to the city.

A never ending desert, it is scorching hot, my throat is dry.....Water......something like that is not here...... 
「damn it.....my vision is fading..... The spell is starting to wear off.....if I keep going on like this, I'm going to lose my vision once again」
I forced my legs to walk but it was starting to lose its strength, it was going numb. When I blinked, I was already facing down the sand and I didn't known when I fell down. 
「A bright future.....I promised that I will show them a bright future」
I forced my body to stand up and keep moving on. I managed to keep on walking for a few meters until my body gave up the same time I lost my vision. 
「Damn.....」

「Where is this place」When I opened my eyes, I saw a polish golden brown wooden ceiling with a ceiling fan attached to it. 
「You're finally awake. Welcome back to the land of living my friend」 A lady with a light brown hair that was twin tailed up, she has an emerald green colored eyes. She is wearing a white lab coat and under is a green turtle neck sweater and a mini skirt with the stripes of light brown and dark brown. 
「Who are you?」I asked her, 
「Me? I am Bio-Florythm, Itsuka Mk.12. Nice to meet ya, Shounen!*」
