Jiro walked down the hallway of his empty university library exhausted he sighs.
"I don't know if I can do this anymore"
Jiro 22 is a senior in his final year university.
He sits down at a table in one of the open spaces between the bookshelves. After working his second double shift back-to-back for the last 4 scheduling's from his two part time jobs he has to catch up on more than 5 papers that were do the next following week in before the end of class.
Scrolling though his phone he stops on a picture of his parents and him on a family trip when he was younger. His mom smiling while holding his dad. All of their faces were unrecognizable to him.
"Is that what I look like..." he sighs before turning his phone off "When's the last time I've really looked at myself"
Ding~
A notification hums the phone back on. [Where's our Money] the text read.
"Not now" he groans Jiro is currently more than 12 million in Debt due to the last months of his father's stay in the hospital. The same debt that Killed his mother after she had to take on 2 additional jobs on top of her full-time job to keep Jiro feed and in school. [Author note; I'm keeping the description details empty here as I want everyone to feel connected to the characters and situations but I want his original appearance to be something established later as I currently have way to much to pull from {-_-} ]
She died right before Jiro got the chance to graduate and celebrate his first major achievement without his father. After applying and getting into an expensive university he had to pick up to part time jobs to pay for his expenses while attending university.
"I have to make these last 200 dollars last the next 2 months" he mumbles while leaning back in his chair and closing his eyes. "Maybe I should just live in my car till schools over"
DING~
[1 New notification] displayed on the cell screen.
[Tear your fate]
[From: Unknown Sender]
The text glowed a soft red on the screen illuminating the room. "Tear my fate?" he laughed " I don't think I could possible tear away from something like this" but staring at the screen his eyes softened "Hmm.... would it even hurt to open?" as he clicks on the text a cut opens on the tip of his finger leaving a blood print on the phone.
The phone the quickly vibrates as it displays in red
[You chose this new fate]
The phone the turns off before new text appears across the screen in all white this time.
[Thanking you for wanting to be willfully torn from fate]
[Your selection has been determined]
[Thank you for applying Jiro]
"What the" as he stands up his he stumbles leaning into the table Infront. "What is happening" blood is starting to now drip out of Jiro's nose painting droplets across the table. "Blood? that can't be-" as he talks the blood now making his head pound rapidly the as his brain has started to push against his skull.
[Transporting] The text was now flashing red and white filling the room with a strobe light of the two colors.
"I can't-" Jiro sputters as he falls backwards his head connecting with a corner of the table behind him as he falls. Hitting the floor blood leaks out of his head now more rapidly. "I.. I.." he sputters laying on his back choking on his own blood.
[Transportation error]
[Transportation error]
[File overwrite corruption at 90%]
The phone flashed as the lights in the room blinked Faster and faster Jiro closes his eyes (what did I do to deserve this fate).
Cut to black~
*Note: seems pretty simple so far yes :D the start of the story is usually the hardest but as long as one person is interested then there's still a tale left to tell. As this is a hobby project there will eventually be a possible comic short in the future, but I hope you keep reading. Will vary but plan on at least a short chapter each day. Cheers-crow
