[center][h3]The Crusades In The Afterlife Of Sakura Aoba; Volume 1[/h3][/center]

Something at the back of my head compelled me to stand up. Well, it was at the back of my head and at the mouth of my stomach, to be more precise. 

I can't seem to remember the last time I ate. 

[color=blue][b]"Welp, I don't plan on being that guy that died because he didn't eat when he was supposed to. I should go out and get myself some instant ramen or something."[/b][/color] 

I put my arms on the ground and impulse myself upwards.

What's odd is that my surroundings are crispy clear. Did I sleep with my glasses on? If so, I'm becoming more of an idiot than I thought at first. 

Speaking of, where the hell am I anyway? Is this, perhaps, the mystic land known as the outside world? The world past the door of my room? I never thought I'd see it again... At least not this month. 

In any case, where the hell is this? This is a school, sure, but not MY school. By the looks of it, someone also stuffed me into some kind of uniform. 

Oh! I get it! 

[color=blue][b]"I'm dreaming. Of course I'm dreaming."[/b][/color] I say to myself and shake my head. [color=blue][b]"This is no time to be sleeping though. I could either die of not having ate enough for this whole month OR my mom will come by my room and see what kind of huge mess it is. Both would be equally bad."[/b][/color] 

Then, I need to, I dunno, jump off some kind of high building or something? Will it work if I pinch myself? 

I decided to give it a try and pinch my right arm. [color=blue][b]"Ouch!"[/b][/color] I let out. 

Nah, it didn't work. 

[color=blue][b]"Hum... then I'd better go look for someone, not to mention that it seems about to rain. And so, the crusade begins to wake up from my sleep before my mom comes around and kills me! Or my hunger kills me! Or whatever comes first! I should also see if there's a cafeteria or something... Will I feel satisfied if I ate in a dream?"[/b][/color] I fold my arms over my chest. [color=blue][b]"Only one way to find out!"[/b][/color] 

I start running towards the school building in front of me and stuff both of my hands in the pocket of the jacket I'm wearing. Good thing this is a dream, cause I don't have any money.
