<Izumi's POV>

beep.beep.beep.beep

"I'm up. I'm up shut up for god's sake" I grumbled as I got up and turned off the alarm and walked to the bathroom to get ready for my university lecture.

'should skip the morning lecture I mean its a Saturday and I have it at freaking seven in the morning" I  thought as I looked at the mirror while brushing my teeth

"who's that handsome guy?" I said as I looked at my face in the mirror, nothing beats a bit of narcissism early in the morning. my black eyes turned deep blood red with two commas opposing each other in my pupil 'these shitty eyes brought me so much trouble when I couldn't control it, yeesh being called a demon hurts but now on the bright side I can control it and turn it on at will giving me eidetic memory and bullet time at will pretty badass huh'

I walked back to my tiny apartment room to change and get ready, i decided to wear a casual black shirt and trousers to my university and set off to get a cab to Seoul university its about a ten minute drive from my apartment complex

"its six forty five huh"

I have about fifteen minutes to reach class so I  decided to close my eyes and rest of a bit in the backseat of the cab

'you freak' 'get lost demon who wants to be friends with you' 'I was just having some fun did you really think i was flirting I was just pitying you freak and trying to be nice to you , understand that nobody likes you especially your demonic eyes'

my eyes fluttered open as my painful memories kept flooding in

"haah" I sighed its been so long since that happened why am I still thinking about it I guess eidetic memories has its cons too

"hey kid, we've arrived it'll be four thousand seven hundred won"

I paid the taxi driver and walked towards my lecture hall

"heyy Izumi chann"

"hey Yuri. but seriously stop with the chan your not Japanese"

"but you are or are you not?" Eun Yuri replied

"my parents are Japanese i was born and raised in Korea" i retorted

"still doesn't change the fact that your Japanese"

"you know what fine call me whatever you want as long as its not in front of people" i said as i looked at her

she was a beauty no denying that Neat eyes that seemed to be drawn with a paintbrush and similarly graceful facial features that were like timidly bloomed peach blossoms with a beauty mark under one of her pupils added to her charm. She'd probably be popular if not for her eccentric personality as a loner myself we had many similarities so we became friends

as for why I'm a loner I find it hard to be with people because of my eyes even though i can control it I'm still afraid that if i accidently show my eyes ill be left alone again

"soo what are you doing here so early Izumi?"

"that bastard Pi jin-sung decided it was a good idea to have lecture early in the morning because he's 'busy' the rest of the day.so what about you? you came here to dance again?"

"yup In Hyun unnie called our group for some early morning practice you know since we're performing in the concert. so what are you and your batch doing for the concert?"

"they decided to sing a song I didn't join them cause its too much work"

"don't lie, lemme think you were probably too nervous to sing in front of the whole university not because 'it's too much work'"

"you know what I'm not gonna even answer its not like you'll believe what i say anyway"

"I'm the only one who believes you how could you Izumi how could you do this to me" Eun yuri held her palms to her chest and said in a dramatic manner

"don't be a drama queen, anyway don't you have to go to meet In Hyun-ssi its getting late for me also i have to go to the lecture"

"oh yeah I have to go meet unnie bye iizumii chan"

"bye"

<five hours later>

finally its over sheesh that was one boring lecture, there is no use of having eidetic memory if i fall asleep. "its two in the afternoon and I'm still sleepy thanks to that annoying bastard of a teacher" I muttered as I checked the lecture hall clock from the seat i was sting on near the window.

'i guess its time to go home and sleep'

"hey Izumi wanna go karaoke? the whole class is going" one of my classmate called out to me with the rest of my classmates near the door.

"nah man, I'm lazy go without me"

"if you say so, but just in case you wanna join you know where we are going right?"

"yeah I know the same place near that pork belly restaurant right?"

"yeah bye then" he said as he walked out of the door with the rest of the class

after he left I browsed the internet on my phone for about an hour before heading out to go home walking since I nearly used up all the money my mom gave me this month, I cant ask her for money i still have my pride

when i reached my apartment out side the door was a beautiful woman who wore a white blouse, a black jacket, and a grey H-line skirt that clearly outlined her curves. With a leather office bag in her hand, the woman looked to be a typical young businesswoman. since she was out side the my apartment door I called out to her

"ummm do you have any business with me?"

"Izumi Sora right?"

"yeah that's me so who's asking?" I'm slightly on guard since I have never met her before I was about to activate my red eyes then I realized that I forgot to wear my shades

"oh I'm sorry i haven't introduced myself have I, I am kim hannah an employee from sinyoung"

"okay...so what does kim hannah an employee from sinyoung what from me"

*giggles*"you have quite the sense of humor izumi-ssi" she replied with a fox like giggle

"can we get straight to the point please I'm tired and want to sleep"

"oh but its only three pm right now anyway how are you interested in playing a game izumi-ssi"

"seriously?" I asked not expecting this response at all

"yup its a beautiful game only few have the benefit of playing"

"what the hell? I'm being polite here and now your starting to piss me off, are you kidding me. a game and why me in the first place seriously take your scam sales pitch somewhere else kim hannah-ssi"

in response to my reply she pulls out her phone and shows me a video in which I'm fighting against four people on my own with a smile on my face

"i came to offer you a chance based on this video. i can see it on your face you love fighting even though you act like a calm and laidback person you are suppressing your true self"

she said as i was still stunned on how she got this video I'm pretty sure it was a deserted alleyway in which i fought there should be no cameras there as soon as i snapped out of my dazed state , I quickly reached out to grab the phone from her she sidestepped with inhuman reflexes and moved a few steps back

"what's wrong izumi-ssi why are you trying to take my phone away?" she smirked after moving a few steps back

"how did you get that video? were you stalking me" I replied seriously no longer acting laid back

"no no your wrong see the person who you beat up broke the arms of is one of the candidates that sinyoung selected so obviously we were surveilling him and we found you, you who broke the arms of the candidate like it was a twig without breaking a sweat so we decided to remove him from the candidate list and add you instead" she replied in a soothing tone that for some reason made me calm down

"okay what is this game?"

"you just need to sign this contract and i will tell you" she said as she handed me a contract to read

I read through the whole contracted it basically said that I was prohibited from spreading what I was told of here I saw nothing harmful in it so I took a pen out of my trouser pocket and signed it and gave it back to her

"thank you, so now ill get to the details so there is this place that only some people here on earth can access to I cant say the original name as i have a contract binding me so lets call it Eden for the time being, so Eden is a different world that we can get access to its basically a fantasy world with swords and what not only people who are invited get access to this place in this place its like your typical rpg fight monsters, level up, explore find treasures etc... its basically an easy way to get rich and since your parents are only parents in name so it wont matter even if you go to that place for a while"

"wow that was a lot to take in, okay lets say that this place is real since you sound so confident where s the catch are you gonna slave contract me or something I have read enough webnovels to figure that out at least"

"oh no no no slave contract we will give you an invitation you just have to give us the right to negotiate with you first once you reach there"

"yes that it izumi- ssi now give your hand for a bit ill stamp you and give you an invitation don't worry the stamp is basically a mark that your invited to the other side" she said as she took a bronze stamp out of her hand bag and stamped it on my hand as I gave my hand to her

"so here's the invitation I hope to see you soon" she said as she gave me the invitation and walked away

a few minutes after she went went inside my apartment and jumped onto the bed lying down i couldn't help but mutter

"what the heck just happened"
