impact

A boy opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling above him. Slowly he sat up and let out a sigh. "My name is Kiran. Just a normal high school boy."he mumbled to himself. He dragged himself out of bed and walked to the bathroom. As he brushed his teeth, he looked at his reflection in the mirror and forced a smile. Suddenly, a voice shouted, " You're weird, you know that?" Kiran turned his head. Standing behind him was his little sister. " Get out", she said flatly. " I need to use the bathroom." She shoved him out before he could argue. He sighed again and walked off to get dressed. " If you're wondering where our partners are... " Kiran muttered, pulling on his jacket. " My dad died of a heart attack . And my mom? She just left us. Can you believe that? She ran away and left her kids behind." With another deep sigh , he walked out of the house, hand stuffed in his pockets. "I don't have any friends. Making them is hard. People never really notice me." Eventually, he arrived at school and took his seat the teacher entered and said, " Class, we have a new student today". A girl with long black hair and Crimson red eyes walked in calmly. " My name is Yuki ," she said quietly. The teacher nodded." Take a seat next to Kiran." The class immediately buzzed with complaint. " Why does she get to sit next to him? " someone muttered Kiran sighed." Of all places, why here ? " he thought. Class went on . At one point, the teacher noticed Yuki reading a book and called her out. "Yuki, are you paying attention? " "I am," she said calmly, showing him her notes. Kiran glanced over and noticed another book beside her. lts title read: " Love can kill you." " What kind of book is that? Kiran wondered. When the bell rang, the class emptied. Kiran was about to leave when he heard Yuki talking to the teacher. " Is there a chess club here? " She asked" yes , there is," the teacher replied. Are you interested in joining? I am." Kiran stopped in his tracks. " If I kept walking, I wouldn't have to help her," " come on I'll show you the way," he said with a sigh. " This is the first time I've met a girl who wants to play chess ," he thought as they walked when they arrived, Kiran opened the door. The club president looked up. " Do you want to join? " " Yes, Yuki replied and signed her name. Suddenly a voice called out, Kiran! " It was choji , Kieran's chess buddy. They only ever played chess , nothing more. " You'll like this," Choji said. " When you get home, download a game called impact on your phone." Kiran sighed. " Alright..." Choji looked over at Yuki. " A new member? " " My name is choji " he said, bowing. Yuki just started at him, expressionless. Suddenly, another guy walked in . Hey, princess! " And that is ltachi , Kiran thought bitterly." He thinks he's good - looking and he's a Grandmaster at chess ." " So, who is the best player here ? Yuki asked. Choji pointed. " That would be ltachi." " Play me," she said bluntly. " What? Ltachi blinked. " Are you too scared? " Fine . Your funeral." They sat across from each other. Pieces clicked against the board. A few minutes late, Yuki leaned back" checkmate." Ltachi 's eyes widened. " What? No way..." Choji mouth hung open. " She beat you... " Ltachi started crying dramatically." Why?! " The bell rang. Kiran left the club room... Yuki followed him to the next class and took her seat nearby Kiran watched her work and thought." She surprisingly hard-working..." He sighed again. " This world has too many rules. You need to be smart just to get a future...." When school day ended , Kiran returned home." I am home, " he called. He went into his room and stared at his phone, remembering what Choji had said. " Download impact, huh?" He did. Once it finished, he tapped on the app . The moment in logged in , a bright light flashed - suddenly, he found himself standing in a strange new world. " What the...? " Kiran looked around, stunned. He checked his phone again. A message appeared on the screen: " your role is : the Demon King." What?; Demon King?! What is this game?! " A familiar voice spoke beside him. Be quite." He turned and saw Yuki. " You're here too?! Yuki nodded. "I was given the role of the black witch . You're the demon king , huh?' she pointed at him . " There's a war going on between the Demon King and the Heroes." Kiran eyes widened. " You mean... I'm part of war?! " Yes," Yuki said. "And the Demon King always has a partner? Kiran looked confused. Wait, you're my partner? " Didn't you watch the introduction scene ? Kiran looked away. " I skipped it Yuki growled and his a idiot she sighed
