‘’Hey, you should check out this awesome scary new app,’’ Junpei-kun said to me.
‘’What is it?’’ I asked. He flipped out his phone and selected an app named Nicaea.
‘’You sign up and it’ll tell you when your friends are going to die. Scary, huh?’’ he said.
‘’Sure, I guess, but I don’t really believe in super natural stuff like that. Besides we got College Entrance Exams tomorrow. I’m just gunna head back to the Dorm and study, eat, sleep,’’ I tell him.
‘’Ah, come on, just try it!’’ Junpei-kun begged.
‘’Alright, alright,’’ I sighed. I flip out my phone and open up the app store and select the free app called Nicaea. It downloads and I open it up. I’m greeted with a man with a long nose and wearing a fancy suit.
‘’ Thank you and welcome to Nicaea. Please input your name and gender,’’ the man on the screen says. I begin to type. ‘’Makoto Suou, Male.’’
‘’Once again, thank you, and welcome to Nicaea,’’ the long nosed man says before disappearing from the screen. The screen shows a menu with a bunch of folders. Only one has anything it and that’s listed as ‘’mail.’’
‘’Yeah, a lot of Nicaea is yet to be released,’’ Junpei-kun comments then gasps as a girl walks up to us. ‘’It’s Yukikno-chan!’’ he cries. Yukikno Kuze she’s some girl that Junpei’s got a crush on. We’re all in a subway waiting for the train. I’ve talked to Yukikno-chan a few times before, but I’m not really interested in her.
‘’Hi, ummmm, Makoto-kun, any idea what kind of questions are going to be on the college exams?’’ She asks me.
‘’No idea,’’ I respond. Then we all get notifications on our phones all at once.
We all pull out our phones and I find the Nicaea app open.
‘’ A new friends dead face has arrived,’’ the long nosed man says. A video pops up. It shows the subway train coming just as an earthquake hits. Then everyone in the station is dead including me, Junpei and Yukikno-chan.
‘’The hell! That’s not funny dude,’’ Junpei-kun says. The train comes rushing in just as an earthquake hits. The next thing I know we’re all trying to run and screaming then the train falls on top of us and all goes black.
I hear a voice. ‘’ Well, Makoto, it’s time to choose. Do you want to live or do you want to die?’’ Then two options appear on my phone’s screen. I tap live. I wake up along with Yukikno-chan and Junpei-kun. The subway is lying on its side and we are just inches away from it. Then I see a lot of dead bodies crushed underneath the train.
‘’ Oh my god!’’ Yukikno-chan screams.
’’ D-d-dude, this is a dream, right? I’m not in Japan anymore. This is dreamland,’’ Junpei-kun cries. Monsters appear. I’m holding out my phone. The Nicaea app lists them as Demons. These Demons are Pixie, Angel, and Jack Frost. One Demon speaks.
‘’Humans! We won’t be contracted to you!’’ the Pixie shouts.
‘’D-d-did that thing just speak Japanese?!’’ Junpei-kun cried.
The man on the Nicaea app speaks up, ‘’you must each defeat a Demon. That will be your beginning contracted Demon.’’
‘’We got to fight!’’ I cry. ‘’Oh you’re a freaking idiot. There’s no way we can fight those things. The Jack Frost runs over to Junpei-kun.
‘’Get away from me!’’ he screams and kicks and punches the Demon. Then the Demon fades. Yukikno-chan runs up and kills the Pixie. I kill the Angel.
‘’Congrats you have contracted with your Demons,’’ the long nosed man says.’’
‘’What was that?’’ Yukikno-chan wonders aloud.
‘’We should leave the station,’’ I tell the two. I feel stressed and sick seeing the crushed bodies and from fighting Demons. They both agree.
We run out of the subway station only to find Tokyo in ruins.
‘’That earthquake destroyed everything,’’ Yukikno-chan said sounding very sad. Then a giant Demon falls from the sky. The Nicaea app lists it as Orpheus.
‘’Orpheus the musician from old Greek myths,’’ I say to myself.
‘’What do we now!’’ Junpei –kun shouts.
‘’We have to kill it! It’s the only way out.’’ We all take out our phones. A new folder on the Nicaea app is now full. It’s listed as Demons. I select it and tap on Angel. Then the Demon Angel appears before me. Junpei-kun and Yukikno-chan are doing the same. My phone has three commands for Angel. Attack, Zan, and Guard. I select Zan and Angel blows powerful winds toward Orpheus knocking it to the ground. Then I tap on Attack and Angel Punches the Demon.
Junpei-kun’s Jack Frost unleashes some kind of ice based attack. Nicaea calls it Bufu. Then Yukikno-chans Pixie uses a lighting attack. Zio, Nicaea calls it. Then Orpheus screams and fades away.
‘’Very well done,’’ a voice says from behind us. I spin around to find a 17- year- old- guy about a year younger than us standing with a smile on his face. ‘’I am from JPs Here to collect all who use the Demon summoning app Nicaea,’’ he said with a smug look.
