Game Start!

..

..

Once again, the same lines.. once again, the same son of a b- in front of me.

How many times must this happen? How many times must I wander this endless labyrinth?

The same lines, the same cheesy effects.

THE SAME WARNING

THE SAME DEATHS.

..

..

And damnit, the most frustrating of all.

The same, Game Over Screen.

..

..

Can't they change their dialogue!

..

..

Tsk… you are here again

It is Tokikaze Shun… the director of the darkness executives. He must be some random NPC, repeating his lines so many times I'm sick of it.

He is this world's boss… and I can't kill him, even if he is just in front of me.

..

..

This is an interesting way to pass time

Right, just like a game… is it going to start again?

...

...

Damnit, I'm definitely in a game.. toyed by this useless NPC and I can't get rid of him! But I had no choice and I nodded my head to him.

..

..

I understand, then, Game Start

I smiled grimly, that's my line, freak… I know you are mocking me for using that line.

I know, this world is against me. I know, this will not end well…

..

..

But, for you, this is a cruel world.

I don't need you to tell me that!

If you want to leave, do not hesitate… just pull the trigger yourself.

..

..

Who would.. want to do such a thing…

"WHO WOULD WANT TO DO SUCH A THING!"

I screamed at him just as he disappeared, like magic. No, like a game.

They do that in games, the NPC is not needed so he disappeared.

The monster's corpses disappear as they are eaten before they drop to the ground…

They drop money… whatever…

But… who would want to do such a thing.

To admit defeat, when… There is so much I have not done with him.

..

..

"R-riki-kun…"

So… I reflected, something can be changed. Something must be able to change.

I have gone through so many things, so many repeated, useless and death-defying things.

Surely, there is something I can change.

Surely, there is something I can give up, so that I can be.. with him.

Surely, SOMETHING I CAN CHANGE..

..

..

I asked myself as I walked down the steps of the school compound, gun ready, ready and waiting for the monsters that are there, lurking and just waiting for me…

There is… something, I'm sure of it.

Perhaps I have been wrong, something can be changed. Perhaps, we don't even need to fight them… perhaps, we can just get along!

I clutched my hand as I imagined that, me, hugging Shun and asking him to get along…

..

..

…

No way, I can't imagine it…

..

..

I almost vomited out too, silly insane mind of mine to think of me and him getting along.. AH-HAH-HAH-HAH!

He, who killed me so many times I cannot remember it! ARGH!

But perhaps the darkness executives would.. actually give me a chance!

Yes, that's it. Show them good will and perhaps they would give me a chance to talk to their Boss.

That's a great plan…

..

..

..

Ducking behind a corner, I noticed some of them, hiding and waiting for me no doubt.

This is near the spot where I met Riki-kun… so, if I were to talk with them, perhaps they would let us go free!

That's the plan anyway, I'm a great spy… a great one.

If you are asking who I am, I'm Tokido Saya, lone operative in my mission to defeat the Darkness Operatives in this school. The Darkness operatives are the underground rules of this world, they provide order to a chaotic world, looks over the people and rules them with an iron fist.

You cannot see them, but they exists.

..

..

How many times have you wondered: "Why did that book appear in my desk? I lost it in the hallway!"

Or: "Thanks for helping us fix the broken door! Wait, you didn't? Then who did?"

..

..

..

..

They did. The darkness operatives did. They maintain order in the school from the shadows. Normally, they are the 'good' guys.

But to me, they are the vilest of the scum. They are guarding a great treasure. A treasure that would drastically change the way the world is viewed.

It is the breakthrough of the century and they, are guarding it selfishly for their own use.

That's why, I have to get to the end of the labyrinth.

This world is mad… I know you wouldn't believe me… but I died, I died many times to get the treasure and I was reborn, just like a game after I died.

..

..

..

Heard of Game Over?

I've seen it first hand…

Right in front of me now, as I rolled from the classroom I am hidden in, are two of those darkness operatives.

Their real forms are shadows. That explains how they are able to work underground. But in this form, they are still dangerous and although they are shadows, to attack us, they must materialize into a physical, shadow-ey form.

I know it doesn't make sense, but in the real world, the weird, doesn't make sense either.

Thankfully though, I am able to beat them back. As shadows, they aren't real humans so I have no qualms in killing them.

With my trusty revolver and modified bullets, I am the hot and gorgeous spy that destroys the plague and invasion of the Darkness Executives!

Ah-hah-hah-hah!

..

..

That was till I met Tokikaze Shun. That bastard stopped us at level 8 of the labyrinth just when we were making progress into the labyrinth.

It turns out, that they were 60 floors to that damned place. But it was a lie. There is no way anyone can fit a 60th floor labyrinth below a school.

No way it can be done… how long till we are done? How long till we reach the elusive secret hidden and sealed at the end?

How long… it wasn't possible!

..

..

But, it could be possible, right? If the darkness executives, those shadow beings exists… a 60th floor labyrinth under a school… is possible.

The impossible, has became possible. Why not this as well?

But it was Tokikaze Shun who made it even more deadlier for me and my partner.

Countless time I died and came back to restart. Restart.. RESTART… I'm sick of restarting… This will end here, right now and right at this moment!

..

..

Gripping my gun, I raised it at the two darkness executives, who lunged at me and when I dropped my revolver to the floor and raised my hands up in surrender, I spoke softly.

"I, surrender… can you bring me to your leader. I have things to say to him, personally."

The two of them seemed to pause.. but then, they rushed at me and knocked me to the floor with their bodies, smacking me in a suicidal pact.

Odd, why didn't they listen to me?

..

..

Picking myself up, I caught sight of more Darkness Executives rushing towards me and I shouted the same words.

"I SURRENDER! I MEAN NO HARM"

Well, after killing hundreds of you, I guess I mean no harm, now. But it's alright to be bitter, just stop attacking me!

They just came in droves, it was all I can do to avoid them rushing their bodies against me in a bid to knock me out the window, to the ground, to be pinned and chocked to death.

That would be seriously uncool there…

I'm a gorgeous spy! I shouldn't die by asphyxiation, that would be totally lame and a total disaster!

But, how can those Darkness Executives hope to defeat me, Ah-hah-hah-hah!

..

..

Or so I thought, as they just bombarded me with all they have. From numbers I can count with a single hand to tens of them, then more than that… it was like a sea of undead all chasing me from that movie: "Shaun of the Undead?" Whatever it is, I didn't stand a chance and after avoiding them for a solid 5 minutes… one of them knocked me out a window, it's body literally like a ramming block as it shoved me and itself out the 3rd floor…

..

..

…

Oh gosh darn it!
