A week ago
Ah!
what it this searing pain
This headache is killing me .
A bizzare dream of black moving colour filled Leon's mind . The sound of slow moving stream filled the world with tranquility. Leon even in his dream ,felt the pricking pain coursing through his body like a static of an old tv
Eventhough he paid it no mind it was still a nuisance.
What is this place ? ...Is this...dream ?—he knew he was floating ,aimlessly. He knew his eyes were open and what he saw was not merely but somthing else
Leon tried to turn over ,sit up ,hold his head but he couldn't ,his limbs
refused to budge .Leaving him completely immobilized and numb , a futile resistance.
Is this what you call death ..., hmm thinking of fact this death makes it boring .....
Well if , i where to truly die, i should'nt be able to think right ?
It is not the ethereal aspect i expected
So much for believing in ghosts ghosts..
His questions swirled his thoughts
Trying find the key to the shackles of darkness and confusion in the mysterious world where black twisted like shadows in silence
...
A deep sapphire butterfly emerged from the darkness . Where ever it went
blue dust followed
"A–A butterfly? "
.. here ?
It had a strange pull to it . Leon in a daze extended his immobile arm towards it . A moment that felt like an eternity.
it touched him—The world broke.An unseen force dragged him downward.
It felt as he was drowning.
But there was no water . He used his arms and legs in desperation only push him further chocking him.
My—chest !
Only pressure. Crushing, infinite pressure from every direction, as if reality itself had turned into a liquid and decided to swallow him whole. He himself bubbled like blood on a pot twisting and turning becoming the black swrils of that world .
His breath vanished, thoughts scattered.
"Pu ekaw" a whisper remained then it was all...just
BLACK.
...
The spring rain whispered to evergrowing city as the dark and grey rain clouds parted way to let the broken rays of sunlight through
"LEON CORVIN !!!!!!LEEEONN CORVIN !!"
A voice blasted through Leon's temples bringing him from the nightmare moments ago. Crackling like a thunder .Leon started opening his eyes The darkness around him started to vanish as as the blinding light sweeped in .
"LEON CORVIN !!"
"Are you trying to set a record for the most hours slept in a math block?"
Math? School?
Someone is calling my name, who is it?–he peered through the blinding lights As ligth steeped through his eyelids
A classroom filled with students came into view .
....
"This!!! This is "
Leon stood in shock of what he saw ,
His breath was ragged like tattering winds , sweat poured like streams of ice cold snakes
"I can't belive you dared to sleep in my class "
"What happend has the sleep made you dumb"
"I bet you spent you all night at the internet cafe" the teacher's insults slid past against his ears
He looked around as his ragged breath came out like steam from an engine
This is not possible how can i return in time–
Leon looked at his hands
".... didn't i die !? "
The sun light sweeped through clouds,the curtains were wiped across by a strong wind. The sky was black grey , white yet the amber light illiminated the class in a dark hue, shadowing the white orchid trees as it swept inside
For a heartbeat, the room was silent. Then, a snicker broke from the back row, spreading like a wildfire through the desks.
"Did you guys hear that?" Min-ho, a guy known for having a louder mouth than a brain, leaned back in his chair, grinning. "'Didn't I die?' Who do you think you are, Leon? Some Isekai protagonist?
"
" He's finally lost it huh," Yuna a girl with an attitude whispered to her friend, not bothering to hide her smirk.
"He probably spent all night reading that 'Solo-Leveling' trash again. Look at him, he's actually shaking."
"Hey, Corvin!" a voice called out from the corner. "If you died, where's your Goddess? Did she give you a 'System Window' or did you just get hit by a bicycle on your way to the convenience store?"
"I bet it was a truck," another student chimed in, followed by a burst of laughter. "The legendary Truck-kun finally got him, but he's so pathetic even the afterlife sent him back HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"–HAHAHAHAHAHA"
the class turned into a circus of laughter
The teacher slammed a ruler against the chalkboard. CRACK.
"Enough!" the teacher barked, though even his eyes held a flicker of pity.
"Corvin, if you're going to hallucinate about being a tragic hero, do it on your own time. This is a Math class, not a fantasy novel. Your grades are already in the graveyard—don't let your sanity join them."
"So go stand outside , you may not want to study but don't distract others who do"
The teacher's voice was calm but fierce
As leon left his light brown patterned desk . The teacher sighed
"Ah seriously kids these day ,not an ounce of respect "
...
Mean while in the toilet leon was Contemplating for what reason he was reborn or whether he was experiencing something like the last minute of life where all of their life flash before them
And then again he was making funny faces with his younger self
"You got to be kidding me "
He said dissapointly looking at his face
To think i have unexpectedly returned to my high school life
To peaceful world where there is actual living people rather than the infected , did the apocalypse really happen or was that all just ...a dream??
The me from 20 years ago is surprisingly weak ...well i shouldn't expect more .
"The scars on my face is gone . I do look handsome can't lie "
He gazed at his own face with profound complexity and admiration . Splash splash— he washed his face as he did he caught a glimpse of mirror starting to glitch showing grotesque figure
Glitch glitchzzz...
Wait what was that, did i really see somthing or am i seeing things—
leon's nose started to bleed
DRIP
Wh-what !!
"??Nruter ot desoppus ton era uoy"–
A whisper echoed in leon's mind
The voice repeated again and again and again and again a thousand time bleaching black and white
What-what is this
Stop this
Stop this
No STOOOOP THIS
he clenched his ears and gritted his teeth , pain washed overhim chocking him his voice out
His crimson eyes were bulding red as if something was crushing him
Still the murmers didn't disapper

"Shut up, shut up ,shut up just shut up... I don't care who you are. If I'm here, I'm staying."
"YOU DARE YOU ###! OUR #!@#@#!@! !!!!?"
TWO FIRMS VOICES ECHOED SIMULTANEOUSLY REPELING THE MURMERS .
leon collapsed to the cold white blue tiles ,his breath returning as he fell to a deep ,dark slumber closeing his eyes....
