Level Eater prologue

Chapter 1: Prologue: The Beginning of the Day Announcement・Message・Advertisement

Author's Note: This is my first piece of work so please excuse some errors. Thank you!

As the sunset approached, the asphalt was dyed red. Hasami Tatsuro and Yashiki Ai walked home, hand in hand, as usual. He was A boy with black hair with a height of about 170 cm and a very fearless face. Beside him, A lovely looking girl with a long black hair shortcut, about 160 cm tall with a small, slightly baby-like face.

When they were in elementary school, they became close friends as they sat next to each other, and in the first year of junior high school, they started dating after Tatsuro confessed. Since then, they became the kind of thing that people envied to have.

Without any problem, they graduated from high school they had entered, finished college, got a job, and got married. Everyone imagined them having ordinary happiness and nothing would go wrong, even themselves.

----All until this day.

It was a sudden event.

ZUZUZUZUZUZUZUZU

A low eerie sound that echoed through their stomach started echoing from the surroundings and the ground began to shake furiously.

"What's happening?? HYAHH!!"

Immediately, Tatsuro embraced Ai and leaned down to withstand the shaking.

"A… An Earthquake??!"

"Looks like it."

Tatsuro gently patted her shoulders to calm Ai down from the tense state she was in.

"It's okay, if we stay still for a few moments, the shaking will calm down and stop."

"O…. Okay..."

Seeing Ai's unsettled expression, Tatsuro tightened his feelings and showed the fearless side of himself. And when he looked around to see if there were any more problems, he saw cracks in the nearby block wall.

"Ai, the block wall might fall, let's go to a wider area!"

"Alright!"

Tatsuro pointed in the direction with his gaze and they came to an open place with no objects that could fall. They supported each other and crawled to their destination. At that moment. When they heard a loud noise from behind and looked back, the block wall had fallen.

"That was close"

"Yeah…"

As they were resting, they were listening to the sound of collapsing that came from all directions. Then they heard a sound like glass shattering and cracking little by little.

"This is…?"

There shouldn't have been anything around to make such a noise, but they heard the sound as if it were right beside them. As they were confused by the first sound, the sound grew louder as if there was a tree falling. Ai felt that her skin was irritated by the strange noise, and when she turned her eyes looking upward, the scene was extremely strange.

"Tsu…Tatsuro…that…what is that….?"

"What the hell is that?!?!?"

Ai's finger that was pointing to the direction started to shake while Tatsuro's vision reflected that there had been cracks beginning to appear.

"We're leaving!!"

With a bad feeling, Tatsuro pulled Ai's arm, headed to the opposite direction of the cracks to keep a distance. Though, he understood that it was useless. Cracks have entered this space, let alone in their line of sight, making it difficult to find places without it.

"What…is…this…?"

"Tatsuro!!"

Ai grabbed Tatsuro's sleeve as she shivered. Tatsuro embraced and reassured her while thinking whether they should move. However, there was no way to deal with the phenomenon that was happening as they had never heard nor seen this. Only time passed. In the meantime, the cracks spread at a rapid pace, like it was in a hurry.

And at this time, that happened.

BAKINIGNIGNIGN

When a loud sound resounded as if the iron bar had broken, a large dark rift appeared in the space beside Ai.

"Ai!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The crevices begin to spread more like tearing the cloth, eventually swallowing Ai in. Tatsuro desperately grabbed her hand and tried to pull it back as he was not afraid.

"YAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

"Urghhhhhhhhhh!"

Tatsuro desperately tried to help Ai, but there was no way, and the rift soon swallowed up both of them, and the two fell as if sucked in.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

The two were instantly attacked by an unpleasant feeling of floating and screaming as they disappeared into the rift.

Nobody thought that their fate would have taken such a different path from here………
