Point one

The city bustled with people and traffic. Everyone hurried through the streets and train stations in order to arrive early at work or at school. It was just like everyday, where everyone minded their own businesses and tried to live the best off their days, with each and everyone of their struggles.

Along the deepest parts of the city however, was another type of story.

The crunching sounds of litter trampled under a pair of sneakers, the rush of the wind passing through black locks of a figure running for her dear life-or what it seems to have looked like from a bird's point of view, the heaving breaths, sweat, and the danger those shadows chasing her just a few feet away was what currently played in the dark back alleys of Cheria City.

She ran until she reached a dead end. She was tired, heaving harsh breaths, back hunched over, then she looked up at the wall, impossibly high for people to climb over, then she looked back at the things chasing her.

"GIVE UP, SURRENDER YOURSELF TO US."

She pressed herself against the wall, seemingly thinking about something between heaving, tired breaths.

"You're delusional."

Looking up with a grin, she ignited a light from her gloved hands, making the shadow back away.

"THIS LIGHT IS-AHHH!!!"

The shadows backed away, and for a moment you can feel even the pain from their voices, the agony was scorchingly similar to that of being skinned alive and then burnt mercilessly until they disappeared.

"I only have one employer, and he's already an ***."

Nothing was left in the scene, as if it never really happened. After making sure everything was done, she slumped into the ground, back against the wall in a dirty alleyway where no sane person would like to be in.

[CONGRATULATIONS, YOU GAINED 300 POINTS. WOULD YOU LIKE TO CONVERT IT OR STORE IT?]

"Convert 10 points into currency and store the remaining balance into the reserves."

[CONVERTING 10 POINTS: YOU HAVE 10 THOUSAND CURRENCY IN YOUR BANK ACCOUNT. STORING REMAINING 290 POINTS. *DING* THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE, PLEASE CONTINUE WORKING HARD.]

She could hear it leave the conversation.

No, it isn't a system, this isn't a system plot story. That is what we call an Observer. They do not have souls or personality, they just make the job of those above us easier. They're like CCTV cameras but from heaven.

Heavenly Cameras, get it?

No? Okay I shouldn't throw bad puns like that. I don't have humor.

She stood up and dusted her jeans and her violet jacket.

"I wanna eat some burger and fries. Where's the nearest Market place here?"

A whole map appeared in front of her, pinpointing her current location, creating a three dimensional image of what she might encounter in the shortest way to take, then calculating the distance and time.

(TAKE A LEFT AND CONTINUE FROM THEN ON. YOU WILL ARRIVE AT DESIRED LOCATION IN THIRTY MINUTES ON FOOT.)

"Or I could just teleport."

She's too tired to run towards a market place when she could just snap her fingers and get there.

She snapped her fingers and then she appeared inconspicuously in a Market Place alleyway and casually got out dressed in a white shirt, pink jacket, and black jeans, contrary to her clothes earlier.

She even had a little shopping basket.

"Hi, how much for a kilo?"

She pointed at the potatoes, thinking about fine dining in her own home. These days had been hard for her. To eat home cooked food, or rest well in a warm bed was a luxury since those shadows appeared to harass the leads. She just want to rest like a normal human being and pretend she still needs to cuddle her teddy bears.

Nah, she was joking.

She just want to eat and sit like a potato for a short amount of time before working again.

'But that's not a choice, isn't it? You can't really predict when those things would appear.'

She sighed, and knew that her inner voice was correct.

"Hm?"

She got a notification and groaned in frustration, making the vendor lady flinch.

'I just finished off a fucking problem earlier-like come on!!!!'

She was subconsciously pulling on her hair and washing her face with her hands making the lady think she's mentally retarded....

"U-Uhm... That would be 230...."

"Yeah, sure....."

She gloomily left the market, and headed towards her house.

' No, Never. I NEED MY REST DAY.'

Wel, truth is too far from reality.

"Identification?"

"Hehe."

She sheepishly smiled at the security guard and handed her I. D. Today, she's pretending to be a janitor to infiltrate the company of the lead's family. Last time she was here, she pretended to be a new employee to exterminate a ghastly demon.

Well, that's a story for another time.

Quickly making her way to inside the company along with everyone else who went out for lunch, Osa was ready to kill some demons again and save the world.

YAY.... *SARCASM*
