4 AM in the city of Nallia - the capital city of the country Brane. Supposedly people should start waking up, getting dressed, and eating breakfast to go to work or school. However that day, several people didn’t wake up.
Aiko woke up from his loud alarm clock, 5:30 AM he checked. He messed up his hair in annoyance and took off his blanket to go to the bathroom. He washed his face and then looked in the mirror.
“Hmm.. okay I still look good!” he said.
He went outside his room to check if there is any food on the table since his mother should be up and doing her best to prepare for them. Contrary to his expectations his mother wasn’t there.
Confused, he checked outside but she wasn’t there so he checked his parent’s room.
He sighed and then said, “Ma you kept nagging me not to be late but look at you! Still asleep!” he lightly tapped his mother but she didn’t move, she was so still you could mistake her as dead.
“Ma!” he shouted and his taps are getting harder, suddenly… his sister came.
“Agh! Stop annoying her! she’s sick so she told me to buy groceries and cook for you, you dumbass!” he shrugged then went outside.
He ran after eating breakfast for the reason that his already late for his first subject, as a new college student he can’t keep messing up can he?
“You’re late again Aiko! Is your house that far for you to be late for 20 mins?” his classmates laughed at their teacher.
“Sorry sorry, Mom didn’t wake me up so I was late.”
“Same excuse every day” his teacher sounded disappointed.
“Hey, why doesn’t aiko get any detention? Fcking unfair” his classmate whispered.
Suddenly their president butted in, “contrary to his appearance and demeanor Aiko is a smart student, he doesn’t look much but he’s one of the brightest students here.”
“Ahhh why is the world unfair ah?!” Aiko suddenly laughed hearing the conversation.
Truthfully even without studying Aiko can ace an exam without a sweat, he has the natural ability of intelligence. That is also why he slacks off most of the time.120Please respect copyright.PENANAJb40HBG3bz
At lunch break, Aiko went to the cafe hall.
“Hey did you hear?” Latte who is Aiko’s close friend asked
“What?”
“There’s a news going around about like a sleep epidemic or something”
“Why do you care?” Aiko asked.
“Bro, you are seriously the most insensitive person I’ve met”
“Thank you, bro” then they laughed.
Unexpectedly a loud grumbling sound was heard across the dining hall. It was loud that everyone in the hall covered their ears. Aiko was standing looking around confused, still covering his ears.
“Wtf was that?!” latte asked.
“I don’t know!” Aiko.
Then the building started shaking, everyone went to hold onto pillars, chairs, tables, and posts for support.
“Over there! Wtf is that!” everyone look that way and saw the ground start splitting apart. The ground was crumbling and a thing was starting to emerge from it.
A giant box resurfaced from the ground. Everyone was shocked and didn’t know what to do. The shaking stopped, and students started gathering a few meters away from the box to check what the thing that popped up was.
“Hey check what that is!” A bully pushed a poor student in front. The poor student looked back and saw everyone wanted him to check the box.
‘Ahh mama save me!’ he thought.
“Stop I’ll do it!” A random shout. He was bulky and has the face of a righteous person. He tapped the poor student behind and went ahead.
He stood still in front of the box for a second and then touched it. The moment he did everyone was engulfed with a black light that lasted for a few seconds. When they opened their eyes their classmate was gone.
Everyone was screaming, shouting, and running everywhere. Phones were used to the fullest, they checked their recording and everything was the same - there was nothing recorded.
Aiko was in the back analyzing the situation.
“Bro what was that?!” latte.
“Check the internet everyone!” and they did. Local and international news about the appearance of the box appeared in the media together with the disease of eternal slumber.
The students were evacuated that day. They were not given any information about what happened to the guy who touched the box, everyone said he died, and someone said he isekiad.
Aiko felt fine as he was not affected by the random stranger and random event. He went home to relax as that is his hobby. To laze around.
He jumped in his bed, “Ouch! Wtf!” he shouted, his back hitting something hard under the sheets. Angrily he took the cover off and looked.
A small box was shining under his sheets. 120Please respect copyright.PENANA7hMoOM4dq0
