Chapter 1:- Prelude
I stopped believing in Santa Claus when he cheated me at cards.
That kind of sentence made me the person I am today. It sounds like a lame joke, but I don't say it as if I'm trying to be funny. I've always said stuff like that, and in most of the time, I don't even know why. It just slips out. After that, people often start treating me as some kind of lunatic or someone that shouldn't be taken seriously. No, no, I know what they're thinking in their hearts; I'm a serial, shameless liar.
Which I'm not. I just happen to be in the right place and right time for the wrong things. I'm always the one that finds out the truth about a cult trying to revive a black dragon, which one of my classmates is the teacher's murderer or the deepest secrets of the "end of the world" conspiracy. I don't even try to find that kind of things; I mean, how many of you had accidentally clicked on a link that led to the activation of an atomic bomb while searching for sheet music? Oh, c'mon! It's not like I have a van, three friends and a talking dog or something.
I'm as normal as the next guy, but that doesn't stop the strange phenomena that seem to follow me everywhere I go. I've been moving around ever since I can remember and because of that, my best friend is someone I met online. Hmm, let me rephrase that. My only friend and probably only person that doesn't think I'm a blatant liar is a girl I've met last year in a chat room. It's weird to think that despite the fact that we have never seen each other, she is currently the only friend I can rely on.
And here I am, moving to her town. I have lived in many places, and since this thing called "Mystery" follows me everywhere it might be a little better if I have a friend(even if it's only for three months, before something really weird happens and I have to move again). It will probably be good for me, for a while.
Trying to make myself believe that, I went to the town where Shina Ryo lived.
