Prolouge: A Future Erased:

A cold breeze blew by. This was unnatural in June, but it didn't matter to Rai. He just kept on walking. It was around noon. he was heading home. Then it happened. A large, blue creature was sleeping in Rai's driveway. When Rai approached it, it became angered. Tentacles shot from his hand and wrapped around Rai. He evaporated into nothing. His whole future was erased. Memories of him were erased. It was like he was never there. The monster teleported to somewhere far away, like it had no concionce of what it had just done. It was an "Eraser".

Ch. 1: When becoming the main character of a manga, it's wise to buy a very expensive therapist.

"Sora"
"..."
"Sora...Rendan?"
"............"
"SORA RENDAN!!!"
"I'm awake!", I said, opening my eyes. I scanned the room and sighed. School.
"Sora Rendan, this is the LAST TIME you sleep in my class, do you here me?!"
"Sorry, Mrs. Teacher-Lady Ma'am!"
"That's more like it. I'll be lenient, as it is the last day of school."
"It is?" I asked, but regretting it emmidietly.
The whole class laughed
"Of course", Mrs. Teacher lady said.
I looked up. The last day of school with five minutes left.
"move faster, clock", I though to myself
Oddly enough, I didn't remember getting up this morning, or any of school earlier today.
All I knew was I had three minutes in some class with a wakko teacher before three months,
school free.
Suddenly, the whole room turned blue, and the clock spun so fast I thought it would fall!
The bell rang.
That wasn't an everyday sight, but I didn't have time to dwell, because Morty would leave without me if I didn't hurry. Morty is my best friend. He has been for as long as I can remember, but that's not too long for a ninth-grader.
I walked outside, and everything turned blue again, but this time everything was slower.
I look over to notice a few people moving at normal speed. They're wearing black tuxedos and black shades. Classic Men-in-Black Halloween prank, but this wasn't close to Halloween.
This was June...

Ch. 2: Artisan

They noticed me. One looked back.
"An Artisan", one said
"Poor fool", another said. "He has no idea what he's in for".
Before I could ask questions, they laughed and disapeared into a neon light.
The blue flash disapeared, and Morty started poking me in the back.
"Sora! What are you waiting for? Let's go!!!"
"Hey Morty!"
"C'mon! Mom won't wait forever."
"Yeah, guess you're right. Let's go."

That night was odd. I was half asleep in my bed, then next thing I know, I'm in a black void. I pinched my ear to make sure this was reality. I had an ear-ache for an hour.

I sat there for what seemed like a day, then a booming voice came throughout the void:
"I am your spirit young Artisan"
"My name's not Cartman!"
"No, you are an Artisan"
"An Artisan?"
"Yes."
"What's an artisan?"
"You are of the chosen few"
"Uh...okay...and you are"
"Rai. A fog spirit"
"Rai...that means lightning in Japanese, right?"
"Yes, Sora. That is correct"
"So, why am I here?"
"Remember those men in black tuxedos?"
"Yeah..."
"They're erasers."
"What do they do?"
"They erase your existance and any memory of you."
"So you die and no one will remember to care?"
"Yes, exactly."
"Wait, no, I'm not the chosen dude whose gonna rise up outta no where and stop these guys!"
"Yes, you are. With my help"
"Yep, a fifteen year old and a ghost are gonna save the world from a buncha touch-you-kill-you-dudes. Real nice and possible"
"It is."
"How?"
"Allow me to show you."

Ch. 3: Doodles
I woke up in my bed the next morning. Was it a dream? I look to the side. Yup, Rai is floating there. Maybe the title of Ch. 1 is true...
"So how about a test?"
"Are you really there or am I spazing out?"
"Oh, I'm here, but just to you. No one else can hear, see, feel, or smell me--"
"So this could be a spaz-out..."
"--But other artisans", He finished
"Oh, the 'Artisan' thingy again"
"Here, pick up that note book"
"This One?"
"Yes. Pick it up."
"And then..."
"Here..." Rai went into an ink pen on my desk.
"It's...glowing."
"Let's try an easy exercise. Draw a picture."
"Ookay......"
I drew a stick-figure. ... Nothing happened...
"Walk outside", Rai advised.
Once outside, he told me to yell "RELEASE!!!!"
Once I did, the stick-figure jumped off the page!
"Now", continued Rai,"Imagine paradise."
"What's this gonna do?"
"Just do it!"
I imagined 'Paradise'...
"Close your eyes...and draw."
It sounded wakko, but reluctantly I drew a picture without looking.
"Holy crap!", I screamed. "A 3-D drawing."
"Yes. This is your 'doodle'"
"'Doodle'? You couldn't make a better name than that?!"
"Turn the page over. Complaint complaint. Nag Nag..."
I turned it over. Words appeared on the page reading:

Three-Tailed Dragon
(Tripple)
Can sprout wings from it's back.
Three tails are used to charge power as it emits fire from it's mouth.
Traits by level-up:
------------------------------
Made by: Sora Rendan
Currently owned by: Sora Rendan
Potential: High
Help from: Rai


I fainted...

Ch. 4: Erasers

Flying through clouds is awesome --
especially on a dragon I drew.
"Tripple, nose dive"
"Garuiyuki!"
"Hmmm......hey, Rai"
"Yea?", asked Rai, floating next to me like this was nothing.
"Can I edit Tripple's Traits?"
"Yes. Say "Three-Tailed Dragon: EDIT""
"Okay. Three-Tailed Dragon: EDIT!!!!!"
Tripple's paper appeared in my hand.
I scanned the text side
Traits by level-up. That just stands out to me
I write "Can speak English".
The paper turned gold and vanishes.
"Hey, Tripple..."
"Yes, Master?"
"Hey, it works!" I said this , then noticed I jumped while talking, then noticed I was no longer riding Tripple. Long story short: I fell...
