Cherreads

Chapter 1 - The light?

My name is Zack. Feeling of falling…

It's the thing I feel right now.

I've always been aware that I might die at any moment since I was a kid… I have heart issues, after all. But right now?

I was sleeping, a chill break from work.

But it wasn't a light at the end, not a tunnel

just falling. Like from the sky into darkness.

Well, if it's the end, why does my body hurt everywhere? What the fu—

"Haha! You're such a loser, Dante!"

A boy kicks Dante's nuts.

"Who's Dant-"

I scream in pain.

"Allen, I think you hit him too weakly; he's not even crying! Hahaha."

I muster all my strength and reply,

"M-man, stop!"

I think: if this is real, I should be dead… but it hurts like normal, bruh.

Allen:

"What, you still have strength to talk back?"

Allen accumulates mana in his fist, punching me in the face.

My face? Nah just a broken nose and a ton of blood.

"Allen, that punk is finally kneeling. We have dinner soon; let's finish this fast,"

one of the boys says.

"Yeah,"

Allen replies.

"Besides, wasting time on some poor low-tier is useless,"

he says, walking away like nothing happened.

Meanwhile, I'm kneeling in pain not only is my nose broken, but… nuts too? What the fuck was that kid? I think.

It hurts like it's real. What happened?

I lie there, still in pain, barely able to think.

When random lady approaches.

"D-Dante… are these boys still beating you? Are you alright?"

"Who's Dante, the fuck?" I mutter.

She continues:

"Did they hit your head too? Oh lord… don't worry, I take you home."

"Wait, wha-"

I can't even speak as this woman grabs me and runs toward some old house.

"Albert! Dante got beaten!" she shouts.

A muscular man, at least ten times bigger than me

"Again?"My name is Zack. Feeling of falling…

I collapse to the ground, unconscious.
