Hello and welcome. I decided to make an OC here and I hope he won't sound queer with some of you guys. Before I get started, I just want to set the setting. This is after episode 11 and the story will go along with the original plot line.

Blah, Blah, Blah: Self dialogue

Blah, Blah, Blah: Thoughts, whispers, someone on the phone

Blah, Blah, Blah: OC's thoughts

Just to let you know, I don't own Neon Genesis Evangelion or NGE. Just the OC.

All humans face hardships. Some struggle with them and quickly overcome them while others are left trapped within the negative feelings that bind them. Those who help the trapped ones come in all shapes and sizes and so do all the stories they share.

This is the story of a man who's didn't know he was shaping the world. This is his story…

Human Miseries

Chapter One: One's Phone Call

The year 2015: where humans advances in the world of technology. After the war many people have gotten back to the world of routine. However humans still live with a darkness that has long since plagued them. Its name…human suffering.

Human suffering. It exists through the human mind, human history and sheer human emotion. Some believe that someone who enjoys other people's suffering and pain is a monster. I believe it has a name…an agonist.

I am such a person. I play on people's emotions and despairs. I am someone who myself is cursed with such a pleasure. Some people call me sick…some people who are like me call me a good person. It matters not.

My name? I have a name but an alias. ' M'. Funny how a word can depict one's identity. Why is my name an alias? I won't say however I will hint that it has to do in what I do. I am a psychologist working with Tokyo-3's mental hospital facility. A good life…listening to all these people stories and problems and then delivering swift judgement. Same salary, good lifestyle, that's all there is. However their problems had proved boring once a good 15 years pass you by. That was my problem. No pain…no emotional anguish in these beings I refer them being inferior to me. I thought I saw it all…I was wrong.

At the mental hospital facility I was at my desk working on some paper work for a patient that…unfortunately died due to personal means when I received a phone call. The phone, that I didn't know at the time, that would change my life. With less enthusiasm, I answered the phone.

"Hello?"

"Hello…'M?' A funny name."

"What do you want?"

"I only wish to talk about something that would indeed peak your interests."

"I'm listening," I shifted myself. Anything was better than paperwork.

"I work for NERV."

"For whom? Ah, never mind. Do you have a name?"

"Yes…but I decide now to reveal it to you at this time."

"Then this conversation is over." I knew of NERV's existence through a friend in the underground. He was a scientist there working with them and seeded information to those who paid him. Two days later, he was dead. The investigators said it was caused by a murder however I knew it had to be those NERV people. Therefore I made my own conclusion about them. Those who worked for NERV and being involved in their activities were at risk of being eliminated from existence. I was about to hang up the phone when the voice continued.

The voice asked me, "are you happy?"

I answered him, "in my present circumstances, no."

"Why?"

"Does it concern you? My personal life is my own."

"I've reviewed your pervious cases and from the results, I know that you have a certain passion for your job. However you're not satisfied with your job, are you."

"No, I am not." This was true. I liked my job and did it to the highest degree. However I wasn't happy.

"The job doesn't give you what you want. Hardships…pains…internal sufferings. These are the things that you want. I have some people that have trouble cooping with their life situations that all have those things…and maybe more."

The offer was tempting. For so long I have wanted an opportunity to be presented with these things. It began to rain. As the raindrops beat down on the window, I decided to continued this conversation.

"What are we talking about here? Who are these 'people'?

"These 'people'. They are special. They have unique abilities that are proven to be an asset to NERV. However their emotions and struggles are getting in the way. We've heard of your exploits, your cases, your ability to go the extreme. With the salary and with the residence, you'll be able to experience what you've long sought."

I thought about this. I haven't gone back to my present con. "These people are dangerous and shouldn't be dealt with lightly. If I am to work for them, I'll be living in fear. However…what do I have to lose?"

Again I spoke, "give me time. You shall have my answer in two days." Two days was all I needed to find out what was this all about.

"Very well. I shall meet at your office at 2:00pm, two days from now. I shall e-mail information about these 'people' I was referring to."

"Wait, you know my e-mail address?"

"Yes. All personal information that we desire becomes ours. Don't worry, your privacy will be protected, I assure you."

"Humph." I was certainly disturbed by this. Those who controlled your economic status in society controlled your life. "Before I let you go, I must have your name."

A long pause, then the voice answered, "Kozo Fuyutsuki. That's all you need to know." The phone clicked and I put down the phone. I looked at the window with the raindrops dripping down. What did I just got myself into?

The OC I hope wasn't idiotic. Anyways I hope that you liked the first chapter. Please R&R.
