I was in a famous café in the middle of the city.

"Thank you."

I placed the coffee on a table and took out my laptop to check how much time is left till the Academy’s admission test.

Then I heard the gossiping of students.

“Did you see it!?”

"Oh, that 'Dark Knight' video?"

“Tsk.”

He shook his head.

Of all things, it had to be that story.

It stemmed from some video circulating on the internet.

Early dawn.

In a dark alley, filled with neon signs of bars and etc.

A figure in a black robe was stabbing someone fallen on the ground with a dagger.

Nothing could be seen under their robe but darkness.

The place where the figure was on the screen was distorted, making it impossible to know whether they was a man or woman.

"Help me!"

There was a muscular man with tattoos all over his body

The figure reached out to him.

A blue flame emanated from the figure’s entire body.

The flames spread, engulfing the man’s body, and soon, only ashes remained.

The figure took out a post-it from his pocket, wrote 'robber' on it, and carefully placed it on the pile of ashes.

“…”

Turns out, I was the protagonist of this story, and this guy is from another world.

Sigh.

“Status.”

[You need to get to the academy before using this feature.]

“Useless.”

***

I was having fun in my last summer holiday before going to going to the Academy.

I had three months till the Academy’s admission test back then.

But then, I got a message.

[The Player has entered this world.]

[Your role as the protagonist is in danger.]

“I don’t care about such nonsen…”

[If you don’t comply, you will die.]

“Wha…”

I want to cry.
