Prologue

  Today is my final day. I get to walk out of these gates and never look back. It’s a heartwarming ceremony, saying my last good-byes to my teachers, my friends, and everyone else. Looking up at our principal he called out the names of each student, cheers of their families and friends filled the stadium. I’ve made plenty of memories to keep with me in my upcoming college life.

  “Ariki Kuin!”

  Upon hearing my name I proceeded up the stage and towards the Head of Education. Taking the view of my peers, as I walk across the stage to receive my paper, I see the proud faces of my family. They all wore flashy cheerleader uniforms. Even though it was cute to see my mom and younger siblings dress up, seeing my dad in a frilly skirt and crop top while waving around pom poms was a sight I never wanted to see. Loud and somewhat organized they cheered for me from the back of the stadium.

  “Congratulations, Ariki!! We love youuu!! Go Go Goooo, Ariki!! A! R! I! K! I!”

  This isn’t an American Football game!!

  Feeling the heat of my face rise I tried glaring daggers at my family to pop their balloon of joyfully clowning about, while holding the sweetest smile I can muster. In the wave of students waiting in front of the stage, I saw Aisaki happily waving to me. Her smile was a crescent moon in the night sky. Oddly enough, she hasn’t talked to me since our recent heated debacle after I told her about my upcoming date with my long-time crush a couple days ago, but seeing her genuine smile put my worries to rest. With the sight of my family and best friend cheering for me, I wave and yell out to them in appreciation.

  "Thank you so much! I love you too!"

  Usually, I keep my composure, it’s just that today I couldn’t help but accentuate extreme pride in my looks. I notice that I seem to have the attention of everyone while I stride through the stage.

  I’m probably being too full of myself, I’m graduating though so I’m allowed to strut my stuff!

  Despite my confident stride I was shaking, suddenly I felt a growing fire in my heart. In mere seconds, I began coughing violently, choking, and gasping for air desperately gripping my chest.

  This burning pain... is so damn unbearable..!

  Before I knew it, things were moving at a snail's pace and feeling weak, I fell. All I saw was the shocked faces of my family and everyone else as I gradually fall, but one face stood out to me. Aisaki still smiled brightly, her lips were curled up even higher than before. Blood trickled down her lips as she happily watches me. Losing my consciousness, the world slowly faded away along with the excruciating pain.

  This is a short prologue, but I promise the next chapter is a journey long read.

  Fun fact, Ariki Kuin's name is literally translated "Ant Queen" in japanese. Ari meaning ant, and Kuin meaning queen (Pronounced similarly too). Not good at all in japanese translation so I may be wrong.

  It'll be discussed more later in the story, but Ariki's big family consists of a mom, and dad, 2 younger brothers and 2 younger sisters. The second eldest is her 13 year old sister!

  American football is a popular sport in japan, the highest form of the league is called the X-league.

  I revised this prologue like 7 times, and I still think it needs revision. This used to be close to 700 words. (Prologue is 480 total words).

  I'm writing this for myself and others to enjoy, and half-hoping this will make it big since I love reading Isekai Light Novels/Mangas.

  My schedule is erratic at the moment. So don't expect constant uploads, but I will keep in touch!

  Feel free to comment any critique, I'm all for it since this is my first ever Light Novel: Isekai and I really wanna reach the full potential of writing. ??
