" These bruises on my face, they tell a story, a story about my life, a life of an abnormal child, a life of an abnormal son, Life of a High School Student. " Please, end it all " Do I have the strength to take that one step, to end it all? that was the not question I had in my mind. The question was, Will this step really end it all? " I beg of you." - {Jump } Please, don''t make me suffer anymore. { Hit The Ground } . . . . Death, Why don''t you love me like you do everyone else? Chapter 1: The Way to Express Emotions " Oh-ho, you talking about that? " { Two High School Boys Having Conversation In Hallway } ( Seimen ) "Yeas, That was hilarious, the way you opened the door of girl''s changing room and shouted -Pantieman have arrived to grab--Hahaha- " " Lol, that was a long time ago. " -At that time we were in middle school ( Tokugawa ) Humans, They are without a doubt dominating species on this planet. But, There is this -Emotion, The natural communication device that doesn''t need any external help, unlike language. When a human meet another human, they can read each other''s face and decide whether the person standing in front them -is actually Worth something- " By the way, did you see Mitsuhashi? How he always- " ( Seimen ) " get behind us, I know right. it''s pathetic " ( Tokugawa ) A Person who has a bad personality, his expressions on his face are different than who has good intent. We also use it to deceive people, By showing a false expression on our face to others, we can also deceive ourselves by putting up a smile on our face. " Putting a fake smile on his face, thinking that we don''t know anything. I hate that Mitsuhashi " ( Seimen ) Expression of someone could tell us a lot, about the feelings they have, about their mood, if they are happy about something or sad. Expression of someone is the one that makes us pity someone -sympathies, it is a way to relate to each other. It''s a crucial part of life. " Don''t worry, one day he will show his true intent. until that day comes, Aoi will have to entertain us " ( Tokugawa ) But What about people who cannot show expression at all? What about me? -I am special. That Crucial part of life is something that, I don''t possess. " Isn''t this great? he doesn''t cry nor show any sort of expression on his face. we can enjoy all we want and never feel guilty. Oh, There is he is with his apathetic face " ( Tokugawa ) "....." ( i walks by them with silence ) All I can do is, be ignorant and keep a low profile. all I can do is endure this unfairness of treatment since. I, Aoi Kichiro, People call me apathetic. I''ve always been alone, everyone ignores me, I am not someone whom you would like to interact with, my sickness might get to you. whoever did approach me with their pity, they changed their minds after a day or two. there is this saying, " you don''t want to be with someone whom you can''t smile with " thus, I became the "someone" whom you don''t want to be with, Someone you can''t smile with. "Hey! Where do you think you are going without greeting Tokugawa and me? " ( Seimen, Grabs my shoulder ) Greeting, a way to express what? I could hear these guys talking about Mitsuhashi and me while I was coming to the 2nd floor. even though they were not that loudly talking to each other. maybe my hearing is better than everyone else, maybe this is compensation of my inability to show expressions on my face. that''s what I''ve always thought of it but there was drastically change to it -after what happened yestarday. Yestarday for me but for everyone else -It''s been three days " Let him go Seimen. Well, Aoi we will see you later " ( Tokugawa ) "..." ( I, Continues on walking to the classroom ) High Schools are second-home to a student. Homes are supposed to provide you comfort, feeling of -similarities, Friends and fellow who should be as part of a big family, treating each other with respect, sometimes tease each other, few develop bonds between each other and, some make unforgettable memories here.Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon. Class = 3-A ( Last Year of High School ) - Homeroom " This should be it. study hard for your mid-term. Dismissed " ( Homeroom Teacher ) Unforgettable memories, those memories aren''t always filled with happiness. sometimes those unforgettable memories are more like a curse, Hunting you all the way to the grave " Lonely as ever, just look at him. hiding the apathetic face of his on the table " ( One of mine fellow classmate, talking to her friend ) " Shhhh- Reeya Be quite, He might hear you. " ( Her Friend, In slow voice ) " So what if he does? It''s not like he feels anything " ( Reeya ) " You.. " ( Reeya''s Friend -Their Conversation didn''t last long) -Emotionless. You know, I also feel them. it just that I cannot show ''em on my face. ( Thinking to myself ) Those memories haunt you Until The End, An end that never seems to comes for me. I was a single step away from reaching that end, yet People call" Coward " who commit suicide, Without even knowing how much courage it takes to take that one single step. I know because I already died twice. But this time, I will-- I will not just defend but attack 3 Days Ago At My High School, On Rooftop - Evening I always ate my lunch on the rooftop, alone. This is the only time when I felt a little safe and comfortable in the school but I also come here, whenever I feel down. mostly at evening, since there is no one comes here at this time. -Mid-terms are coming, I have to try my best to stay in the middle of ranks. Since I don''t want to stand out in either way (Aoi) " There you are, talking toyourself huh? " (Seimen ) -I should''ve stayed home. ( Aoi ) My personality, it has changed a lot in the last three days. " You, you almost never speak. do you? I think you doing a good job Since your emotionless voice hurts everyone ears!" ( Seimen ) I had accepted my fate, for sake of my parents. To Live as a person who cannot express his feelings, a person who cannot express any emotions on his face. " Plea.. Leav.. Me... Alon... " ( Aoi ) ( BAM ) I felt- like something has hit my head from behind. When I reached the back of my head, my hairswere wet. " Huh? Blo...d?" ( Aoi ) I don''t know how I was still standing even after that hit. I lookedat my back and saw Tokugawa with a bat in his hand, covered in blood " Who said you could speak, Bastard! " ( Tokugawa ) I washorrified at that moment, scared. I was not able to move a single muscle of mine when I saw him with a bat. "I...I..m...so..y..." ( Aoi ) -I don''t know what I wrong I''ve done, why I am being hit? for what reasons? I don''t understand! " Don''t you dar- say a word " ( Tokugawa ) ( BAM ) "I.." ( Aoi ) ( BAM ) " you emotionless bastard! Just Die! " ( Tokugawa ) ( BAM ) I tried, I tried my best. I did what I could, everything I could. for two humans who didn''t think of me as a nuisance but He kept on hitting me, even though I fell on the ground after the second hit on my head. Seimen, He stayed in front of the door so, I wouldn''t be able to run. my vision got blurry by every second that passed because of blood andtrauma.I was not able to hear anything, a ringing sound in my head, that''s all I could hear at that moment " Is he dead? " ( Seimen ) " *Pheff *Pheff Yea. I think so, let''s get out of here before anyone sees us " ( Tokugawa ) I am only a human, there is this limit to how much of emotions I could contain and could keep them to myself. on that day, those bastard broke that limit of mine. 1 Hour Later When my consciousness returned, I found myself lying on pool of blood but somehow, I was still alive -I survived. " H...h..a.." ( Aoi ) I tried to open my mouth to speak a few words but the words that came out were broken words as always. just like me. I stood up from that pool of blood but, as soon as I got back on my two feet, I fell on the ground again. -What did I do, to deserve such a thing? I never hurt anyone in my life So, Why? I could go back to my life since I survived, but that won''t change a thing. they will come back, to hit me. they always did. It is like a never-ending circle. as if- As if it is my fate, written by gods. to make me suffer more and more. -So, It''s their fault after all. Since they the one that made me this way. they are enjoying my suffering, aren''t they? but not anymore. I will end it all. I gathered all the strength that I had, to stand up on my feet, to walk to the fence that I barely see before me. This time, To End It All -Everything is blurry Everything was blurry but for this step, that I want to take. I don''t need to see anything clearly. Those Gods, Humans, who made me suffer should be the one to watch. How I ruin their fun! -I am a single step away to end it all. Will this step that I am gonna take will really end it all? {Jump } "Please, end it all " I didn''t realize at the moment when I jumped but my last words were actually not broken- Chapter: 2 - Am I Immortal? But How can it help? "Ufff.. *Heavy-Breathing* Uhh-ufffI--I am still alive " I was surprised, realizing that I am still alive somehow, I was sure that this time I will be able to rest in peace, but as luck has it. I looked around myself, to see where I am. "Isn''t this the forest just behind the school? what I am even doi- I am speaking normally? " I suddenly realized a few things, I am somehow able to speak like normal people though I am still unable to show emotions on my face but still, being able to speak normally, that''s... " ... " it did surpriseme, being able to speak normally but I got over it rather quickly so, now, About jumping from my school building " I don''t feel any pain, not at all and there doesn''t seem to be any wounds on me. " I searched my body, I was searching for any wounds that one would have after being hit by a bat on the back of the his head, scars that one would have after jumping off from a building but " I am sure I was hit by a bat,Why is there no wounds on my body? even my school uniform isripped *Looks at the sky* Uh.. Isn''t the sky is way too clear tonight? " There were a lot of things that have changed about me. therewas a lot of question in mind, about my own self. I found myself lying on ground unconscious in a forest ( Behind my school ). In a cold night with thin clouds in the sky but there was not a singlestarto be seen. When I stood up, I felt like a feather as if even smallest breeze of wind would throw me off-balance I could see everything around me yet it was a darknight at thattime, a moonless night. I know in this area, there is a cliff straight ahead. I started walking toward that cliff. after a few minutes, I reached the cliff, I sat down at the edge of the cliff, my legs were hanging down. I had two obvious choices, First go back to my life and be bullied again like before. I am sure that it will not end, they will come back for me like they always did and top of that, this time they didn''t intendto just bully me. They wanted to kill me. I cannot report this to police since I don''t have single proof that they tried to kill me, I don''t even have a single wound me. the second choice was, go back to my life and pretend as if nothing happened and since I don''t have a single wound on me. which also raise the possibility that what happened was nothing but a bad dream a bad dream. " that was no dream, everything was real. I still can remember the pain that I felt at that time, that suffering." I chose the 3rd choice. { JUMP } Since I am alive, I can try again to end it all -It''s a 40-meter fall and since I don''t want to be the lucky guy again, I am falling while making sure my head hit the grounds first. So,I wouldn''t survive and suffer from the pain. { Hits Ground -Blood Splatter everywhere } ....... ...... ..... ..... { Few Minutes Later } "Death, Why don''t you love me like you do everyone else?" It was the first question that came into my mind when I opened my eyes beneath that cliff and realized -I am still alive. I quickly stood up and checked my body but again, there were no wounds to be seen. my uniform is surely pretty much gone. with this jump, I noticed a few more new thing. the obvious one was -Somehow I am not able to die. When I jumped from the cliff I didn''t die instantly -Rather it was a slow death. I felt my every broken bone, poking out from the flesh, I felt every little pain that it caused, I felt everything. from what I mean death is- I am sure that I died but somehow I wake up again without any wounds on me. Like a restart? from where I died -When I looked around myself there was no blood to be seen though I am sure when I was dying there was a lot of blood around me. well I guess "I will go home for now since I can''t die " With that, I started walking towards my home. my home is about 2km away from this mountain. by the way, I forgot to mention, I keep on seeing something around me. well, rather then around me, it''s like it is everywhere. the spectrum, it is flowing everywhere, as far as I can see. what it is anyway? I called it spectrum, but I don''t actually know what it is. it''s like weird glowing lines inside the fog, they are not statics nor their glow is static. it keeps on flowing. " Umm, it''s hard to describe this spectrum well, I will ignore it as I did before since I can''t do anything about it anyway. " -Sometimes being ignorant is far better. I almost reached my home, I thought of many things about my situation trying to grasp the situation while I was walking to my home but nothing came to my mind because of growls of dogs that I was hearing, people talking to each other, my mindwas chaotic. { Opens The Door of House, KRRR } When I opened the door, it made a sound. maybe my mother heard the sound but she rushed towards the door,she looked very anxious. with that anxious looks on her face, my mother asked " A--Aoi! My Son, Where have you been!? " " I--ummm, There was something that kept me busy in the school " I replied to my mother, with my face that doesn''t show my emotions " Son! {Slap} " This is the first time that my mother hit me, she never once hit me in my entire life but it is not somthi--- she is crying " Son, Plea---Please be honest. I can see your clothes ripped, your face covered with dust -Please tell me what happened to you in the last 3 days? I searched everywhere, I contacted your school and I also heard that your teacher, they found blood on the rooftop " Now I understand why is she mad and crying, she was worried about me. she knows that I eat my lunch on the rooftop, she knows I am being bullied at the school because of the bruise that I always have and teachers found blood on the rooftop. on top of that, she said it''s been 3 days. I am pathetic, worrying the only person who cares about me. " excuse me mother, to worry you, " I said that, however my feelings, they need a way, a way to express them and I am not able to do it so, my words and the action alone would have to express my feelings -I bowed down " Uh? Aoi?" (My mother''s reaction ) I was bowing down but I took a sneak peek when she did not respond and suddenly stopped crying, I saw the surprised face of my mother I wonder if my feelings somehow have reached her. " you are speaking normally-- " of course not, my feelings are still hidden beneath my emotionless face " Yes, I can, this is what I was about to tell you. I met certain someone who claimed to be the person whocan treat my vocabulary but the treatment that he was about to give me, required me to stay at his home " -i hope it doesn''t sound strange. " I am really happy. you can finally interact with people around you " - but still, you could''ve at least said something before leaving. you made us really worried That was obviously a lie. I don''t know myself how I am able to speak to normally, actually what heck is just going on with me? well, I can think about that later but for now, I wanna see my mother''s face whic- it is really nice to see your parents smile for you. But being able to speak, it doesn''t help much in my case. ( That''s what I thought ) " By the way Mother, I am still standing outside. it''s cold " Finally, I was at my home. mother told me the story of her side-like How worried father and she was about me. we talked to each other like never before. well, her son finally could speak so, of course, she would have a lot of things to talk about. We were talking to each other on the dinner table when I suddenly felt really sleepy " Mother, I am going to my room now. " I said while I stood up and headed towards the roomA case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation. " Yes. *Smile* Good night son." { Early In Morning } " Really? I am really excited to hear his voice " ( Father ) -Our Son Aoi, He never once spoke normally. " Dear, pleaserestrain yourself from getting over excited. He just came back " ( Mother ) "Eh? " ( Father ) " Don''t eh me! you have never been honest with him. always scolding him to-" ( Mother ) " B--- but! " ( Father ) " *Death-Stare* " ( Mother ) " I understand-i-i Understand " ( Father ) { In My Room } Hmmm, is my hearing got better? my hearing has always been good but being able to hear those two talking fromdownstairs this clearly. " Aoi? Come downstairs if you are awake or else you will be late for the school " ( Mother calling for me from downstairs) I hated morning, -every night I feared mornings, wishing to the sun to stay away. mornings were like a nightmare to me, you know why? I have to go to school every day since I didn''t want to make my parents sad and The School, That''s a hell for me. I went downstairs after getting ready for school and my father was there waiting, holding a newspaper. "Aoi? do you have something to say for yourself? " ( Father ) <---I heard that you can speak normally. Come on, speak up I wanna hear your sweet voice! " I''m Sorry for making you worry " Well, that''s all I could say. " I didn''t ask for apologies " ( Father ) <-- Eh? Why are you apologizing? I am happy that you can finally speak normally now! " Dear! " ( Mother ) " *Ahem* Anyways, I heard that your high school uniform is ruined. How are you gonna go to school now? " ( Father )<-- Do you want my credit card to buy a brand new uniform? That''s true, my high school uniform is, I can''t wear it anymore. " You can wear you last year''s winter uniform, can''t you? it should be fine since you have GROWN " ( Mother ) My mother, I can tell by the look of her face that she was waiting to saythat. The smirk on her face was clear when she said that. " I understand, I will change and head to the school. Thank you for the meal " I left the house after changing. while I was on street outside of my house I heard something. " Dear, Don''t you think our son has changed in the last three days? " ( Mother ) " Uh? Really? " ( Father ) " You!! Didn''t you see how calm and understanding he was? it is as if he become mature" ( Mother ) " I think you over exaggerating. He looks the same as before to me, the only change is that he can speak normally now. I hope that now he would be able to make friends " ( Father ) " Ummm- me too. Good Luck Aoi " ( Mother ) -Seriously, What''s up with this ability of mine? being able to hear their conversation from 50m. There surely was some question in my mind too, but to be hon-umm anyway, The High School is still more like hell for me, I am still unable to show expression like before, I still feel like a coward. feeling a little light and seeing some strange spectrum before me are not as horrifying as.... getting beaten up every single day. you know the place you are going is a hell, residence of that hell gonna torture you yet you still have no choice but to go there and suffer. being not able to die is just the worse thing that could happen to someone like me, Who wants to end his life. " ... " { 8:22 PM / At The Utsuki Sen/Jun High School } I arrived at my high school. I wonder how Tokugawa and Seimen gonna react when they see me alive. " Let''s find out " { 1st Floor } 1st Floor of my high school is mostly used for Junior students ( 2nd Year/1st Year ) and 2nd floor is for Senior students like myself (3rd Year/ Last Year ) and Clubs. While I was walking upstairs I heard Seimen and Tokugawa talking to each other " Oh-ho, you talking about that? " { Two High School Boys Having Conversation In Hallway } (Seimen  "Yeas, That was hilarious, the way you opened the door of girl''s changing room and shouted -Pantieman have arrived to grab--Hahaha- " " Lol, that was a long time ago. " -At that time we were in middle school ( Tokugawa ) " By the way, did you see Mitsuhashi? How he always- " (Seimen ) " get behind us, I know right. it''s pathetic " ( Tokugawa ) -Something is off! Why are they so calm and talking carelessly after killing me? " Putting a fake smile on his face, thinking that we don''t know anything. I hate that Mitsuhashi " (Seimen ) " Don''t worry, one day he will show his true intent. until that day comes, Aoi will have to entertain us " ( Tokugawa ) -Are they acting as if nothing happened? I was confused, really confused. I thought they would be anxious but they are, they seemed-- " Isn''t this great? he doesn''t cry nor show any sort of expression on his face. we can enjoy all we want and never feel guilty. Oh, There is he is with his apathetic face " ( Tokugawa ) -Shit, He saw me, What I should do now? I was trying to avoid their attention but now they saw me. I don''t know what I should do, I want to avoid getting beaten up. I don''t wanna feel that pain again. I just prayed and avoided eye contact while keeping on walking to the class but "Hey! Where do you think you are going without greeting Tokugawa and me? " ( Seimen, Grabs my shoulder ) When Seimen Grabbed my shoulder, that sent shivers to my spine. I was scared, I was terrified beyond words. When I looked up, to answer them. I saw Tokugawa''s face, his face was pale. he seemed more terrified than me as if he had seen a ghost? that''s the reaction I was expecting before coming to school but it doesn''t seem that the reaction that he is currently giving off is because of me. " Let him go Seimen" ( Tokugawa ) " e? Wh-- " (Seimen, Looks at Tokugawa''s Terrified face ) Seimentook off his hand from shoulder " Aoi we will see you later " ( Tokugawa ) "..." They let me go? I didn''t think much of it and continued walking to the class { Class = 3-A (2nd Floor, Last Year of High School ) - Homeroom } When I was coming to the school, I was expecting to see Tokugawa and Seimen anxious, nervousness that one would have after killing a person but they weren''t. Little confidence that I had before coming to the school was- after listening to their conversation I felt more uneasy, they seemed more terrifying and because of that, I myself become nervousinstead of them. Homeroom teacher came into the class, with a few papers in his hands. The teacher stood beforecharcoal board, He looked around the class with his eyes and when he saw me "Please sit down everyone, we will be starting class but before that. Aoi Kichiro? You finally came back to the school. where have you been? " ( Homeroom Teacher ) " I... " ( when I was about to speak ) " *sigh, Righ you can''t sp- Well Anyway, make sure to contact your familyor school if you are going somewhere "(Homeroom Teacher) Of course, no one yet knows that I am able to speak. so, the homeroom teacher didn''t expect any sort of reply from me and ended it right away Homeroom started and ended, nothing out of ordinary happened. " This should be it. study hard for your mid-term. Dismissed " ( Homeroom Teacher ) "..." { A Few Hours Later, Lunch Break } I forget.. My Lunch box. I guess I will just spend my break in the class. " Lonely as ever, just look at him. hiding the apathetic face of his on the table " ( One of mine fellow classmate, talking to her friend ) " Shhhh- Reeya Be quite, He might hear you. " ( Her Friend, In slow voice ) " So what if he does? It''s not like he feels anything " ( Reeya ) " You.. " (Reeya''sFriend -Their Conversation didn''t last long) Emotionless. You know, I also feel them. it just that I cannot show ''em on my face. maybe I shouldn''t stay in the class, these girls don''t have anything else to do so, of course, they would pick on me. I left the class, Headed towards the rooftop to pass the time { Rooftop } -The place where I died first time huh? maybe I can find somethinghere There was nothing on the rooftop as if nothing happened. though I heard from my parents that teacher found blood on the rooftop -Teachers, They didn''t even investigate about blood they found on the rooftop? I walked to the, where I was lying unconscious surrounded by my own blood. I leaned down and firmly touched the ground with my hand. " ... " While I was leaning down I did not hear a single thing from behind, but someone had kicked me from my back " Uh? " I lost my balance and fell on the ground on my face. I quickly turned around and looked back -Tokugawa, Seimen? When I saw their face, I become terrified. I was scared beyond words they were holding the same bat as before. I might gain some sort ability to come back to life but I was still scared, thinking of the pain that pain. I did not want to suffer from that pain again. -n.. not.. again. ple..ease, Please! They were slowly walking towards me, shouting, swearing and not a single word was coming out of my mouth. I tried to crawl back with help of my hands but they had become stiff, hard as a rock -i.. i don''t want to- pl.. someone Tokugawa was now standing at the top of me, He pulled his bat behind shoulders. He was about to hit my head with that bat and the pain it will cause, I didn''t even wanna think about it Thus I closed my eyes and prayed, I prayed to gods, I prayed to everything. -please, someone! anyone help me. I don''t wanna feel that horrible pain again But, Gods, Those bastards, they just want to enjoy other''s suffering in the name of rules Tokugawa swings his bat, aiming for my head. Everything slowed down, I saw that bat coming towards me but I was not able to react. it was as if time had slowed downbut it was not enough -Ti..Time? if only time would stop flowing...... And when I wished for time to stop flowing. it stopped. -Did they stop moving? Am I saved? I looked around myself, There wasn''t any blood coming out of head this time. And it was not just time that had stopped flowing, The spectrum that surrounded me since that day and kept on flowing, that spectrum also stopped moving and had become more strong, glossy. for some uncertain reason A few words came to me at that time and those words were " Time Dimension " When I spoke those words SYSTEM - ACCESS DENIED SYSTEM - INSUFFICIENT PERMISSION TO BRING UP, TIME DIMENSION SYSTEM - INDIVIDUAL, AOI KICHIRO - HAVE YET TO MEET MINIMUM REQUIREMENT Tokugawa and Seimen were enough butthis voice that I just heard terrified me more. It did stop but I didn''t want to take any risk and started playing dead. { A Min Later } I kept my eye closed for about a minute and opened a single eye to take a sneak peek, I looked towards Tokugawa and Seimen. They were still standing there, frozen { 2 Min Later } Took a sneak peek {3 Min Later } Took a sneak peek { 4 Min Later } Took a sneak peek { 5 Min Later } 5 Min Later, I became certain that they are not about to move anytime soon. { Deep Breath } I took a deep breath and stood up " What in the world is going on with me? I wonder if, if I am actually Dead and this is all a dream, a dream that you see after death. " I started doubt reality itself, Everything that was happening was beyond my mind. Tokugawa and Seimen didn''t rememberwhat they did to me before " I know they don''t remember ''cause they didn''t act strangely when they saw me in the morning. They came today again, I think they just want to kill me no matter what. " " It seems that way, Master. Humans, They don''t deserve pity " ( a voice, coming from my back ) -Don''t tell me.. Tokugawa and Se, No, they are frozen right in front of me. So Who just replied? I turned around, I was trembling inside and when I saw that person who just spoke, I lost my mind. The person who just spoke, He was floating in the air -He had two wings on his back, one of them was surrounded by the dark glow and the other one was shining like the sun. Though for someone else it could''ve been a beautiful viewbut for me, That was the worst possible thing that I could see in my situation. I mean there were already a lot of things happening and now this? I suddenly lost strength to even stand, my legs gave up on me and Ifell on the gro- *losing-consciousness-losing-consciousness* " Now, Now Don''t overdo yourself. I Know you been through a lot already so, you can rest now and leave everything to me. Leave everything to this humble servant of yours " ( Said Unknown Person While Holding Aoi ) When I was falling, That person stopped my fall -He quickly flew towards me and gently wrapped one of his hand on my stomach and saved me from falling Chapter: 3 - A Fallen Angel And The God of Death -Adger Kichiro After losing consciousness at the rooftop, When I woke up I was in this big white room. I stood up on my feet, confused, looking around. " Where am I? " When I asked that question, walls of that white room broke like glass, shattering and behind those white walls, there was a scenery which had emerged from the smoke, Not the beautiful one. That place was middle of a battlefield (though there was no one standing)- I could tell that by seeing bodies of dead people around me, some of them were missing head and some were missing their limbs. few of them were still screaming in agony. I approached one who was close to me, He had a deep cut on his chest but he was still conscious when I walked to him he didn''t respond and kept griping dirt around him with one of his hand, trying to crawl somewhere? I tried to help the guy, I removed my schoolcoat and when I tried to pressure that coatagainst his wound in order to stop the bleeding, my coat and hands went through him. " He is some sort of hologram?! Wait!" That was really strange, I stood back up ( I was on my kneesto help the guy) and started thinking. -Could be that I am dreaming? but it feels so real! and from what I know in dreams you cannot think logically but since I am thinking about these possibilities then it can''t be a dream right? While I was thinking all sort of possibilities, The guy who lies on the ground, waiting for his death, started mumbling some word. ( I don''t think he can see me ) "l--ll--Lo..r.d! we---r.re *cough-hick* w--e;re s.o..ry *drops-dead*" Did he just die? I didn''t understand what he was trying to say, ( I also used tospeak like this?) but the guy, It seemed he was looking in a particulardirection. I took the hint! and started walking in that direction but still, walking in middle these many dead bodies, someone would puke their guts out if theysaw something lik...At this moment I realized something really crucial " This is really strange, why I don''t feel any sympathy towards these guys? why I am not disgusted by this view? -There are hundreds-no, thousands of bodies lying around me! some of them are still alive and screaming, I can hear their screams yet. I should''ve puked a few times by now but- " Yea, I really should''ve puked a few time by now but I kept on walking since I was really curious about who these people are and why I am seeing this, why even I am here?- I can''t help it if I don''t feel anything towards them, There is nothing that I could do about it. After a few minutes of walk-in those dead bodies- I saw a guy in distant, He was standing but his head was leaning towards the ground, I walked to him- up close, I saw a long sword stabbedon his back and the guy was dead or should I say that''s what I thought. " How are you still standing like this? " I randomly mumbled it "I See, So you have finally returned--- True God " But dead guy answered? -Did he just speak? I was sure that he is dead! normally, I would''ve jumped back and run away but because of some sort of effect I was in, I was not able to feel anything. So, I replied as if it was a normal situation! "Who are you and What is this place? " Since this is not a dream, SoI am sure, someone had brought me here and there should a reason to bring me to this place. Who was behind this anyway? " Aha, my punishment isn''t over yet, is it?excuse me for this rude request of mine but before I answer your question, would you allow me to see your face? With your permission, I will be able to move head " My permission? And what punishment he is talking about? -I walked in front of him " Well,Why just head? you can move your whole body if you want but! if it is painful. take it easy and heal yourself first" At that moment I didn''t know what I was getting into- The guy who didn''t move his head even a single inch whole time. He finally lifts his head and What I saw really surprised me, I was surprised! I was really really surprised to see my own face! but the only difference was I cannot show my emotions onmy face so, I always have a poker face but--- -That''s how I look like when I smile? It was like as if I was looking in the mirror and my reflection had a smile, the smile that I wanted. I become a little envious. "I Thank you, True God, for finally releasing me"If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. After lifting his head, He took a single step forward- While he moved one of his leg forward to take a step. A bright light from the sky came crashing on the guy- The long sword on his back was pulled out of him( It lifted up on its own) -I was not able to see who actually pulled the sword out but it felt as if the sword had a mind of its own. The torn clothes of his fixed themselves and Turned into a suit (a trench coat). Dirt on his face disappeared with his wounds. Everything happened while he took that one single step forward. and that was beyondsurprisingfor me (There sure are a lot of surprises in my life!) -Which is why I quickly backed up while he walked towardsme but when he sawme backing up, He stopped walking towards me and suddenly kneeled " PLEASE! FORGIVE ME FOR---! FOR MY RUDENESS! A filthy god like me shouldn''t approach, The Almighty True God, Who rules over all the being Like this! " Another surprise? but thanks to whatever affecting me right nowI was being really calm but still what the heck? is this guy nuts? What is he even talking about! " Just who are you? Why do you have my face! and what is this place? " I finally asked him these questions, Ihad become impatient after watching all of this happening around me. Being immortal when I wanted to die? dying two times in a day and I almost died the third time at the rooftop when those guys.. Oh, when I think about it- What happened to the person who had two wings on his b-- let''s not think about that for now and deal with the current situation of mine! " Aha, I see! Your memories have yet to return. Then please let me introduce myself to you- My name is Adger Kichiro- The God of Death. I Serves under The God of Nothing and This Dimension is usedfor imprisoning Gods and The beings who rebelled against heaven or the laws. It is called ---------------- Umm, I forgot the name but I assure you, This place does have a name! " ( Adger ) Eh? (Did Those Effects of Being Calm Disappeared?! ) "What''s wrong? " (Adger) Was my introduction bad? -You got to be kidding me! This place--- This place is some sort of prison for GODS?! And This dude! He was a prisoner? And did he call himself a God? God of Death! I am seriously gonna shit myself right now, Oi That effect of being calm? Where''d you go? Why aren''t you working anymore!! " Eh..Eh.. Eto, I''m Really Sorry but I didn''t mean to be -intruding This place. I didn''t even know thi- this place was prison" (Aoi) -This dude totally gonna kill me! he must be acting to be polite to make fun of my cowardness, Aha wait I can''t die! but the pain! I really don''t want to feel that again- Will he pity me and let me go? wait! I can''t show any expression on my faceand because of that, I must be sounding like a really arrogant person. Nobody gonna pity an arrogant person! *Panic-panic* I become terrified when those strange effects of being calm disappeared but since I cannot show my expression- I still had a poker face, same as before. I know how helpful actually is the ability to make someone pity you is and people take it for granted. After hearing my words, This person who called himself Adger seemed to be surprised even though I cannot show my expressio-- " Do not worry about it. After all, This place- It belongs to you, True God. You are not intruding- And I am happy that you finally came,(looks down in disappointment) even if that was by a mistake. " (Adger) " Huh, This prison belongs to me? " (Aoi) -Since when did i become a jailor? " Yes, You are the one who create-- Aha, Wait- Let me change the scenario first before we start talking " (Adger) -It might also help you to relax. As he said that, The battlefield which we were standing on, started to disappear in the fog- Along with those screams of fallen soldiers. That battlefield turned into a grassland- As far as I could there was this flat land with grass all around, Shining sun on the top. Well, it sure helped to ease the atmosphere between me in this dude Adger But how did he do it? Did he use some sort of magic? "As I have said before, Master, It seems you have yet to regain your memories. I cannot possibly tell you a story worth billions of years since it would take a really long time so for now, I will give you the summary, making it as short as poss--" (Adger, He was interrupted by me) " Umm, I Have a question! " (Aoi) " But I have yet to start- Hm, Please go ahead and ask " (Adger) " Whom you are calling Master?" (Aoi) "Of course, That is you. Master " (Adger) Eh? Wasn''t he calling me -True God- or something just a few minutes ago? When did I become his master? Should I ask him or not? I might look really calm from outside but I am trembling inside! I am scared to ask him---But I don''t think he knows that I am scared, is my poker face actually helping me for a change? I am gonna take the chance! *Deep-breath* Here I go! " Why are you calling me Master? " (Aoi) " Because you are master? " (Adger) " But When did i be-------------- -------------- It seems our time ran out, Please take this with you and be safe until we meet again(Adger- Words That I was not able to hear and i didn''t realize he had given me something that I needed desperately- Courage) -------- --- - " Become you ma--s--t---err? Huh? Why is it dark again? Where is that dude? " (Aoi) As I was standing before Adger, talking to him. Everything suddenly became dark and silent. As if someone had turned off the light bulb. and I suddenly realized that my eyes were actually close thus I opened them, only to seethat unknown person with wings on his back from before. " So, How was your journey Master? Did you meet Adger? " -Again with the master! Who is this guy now? Huh! Why I am using him as a pillow! For some reason, my fear was almost gone andI am sure it is not because of that * Calm-effect-Whatever* but-- Am I getting used to this kind of situation? This is bad! getting used to this kind of situation doesn''t sound good at all-- Anyway, How does he knows I meet someone with name Adger? Is he also related to God''s stuff? By the way, I tried to move but I don''t think I can move a single muscle of mine so, I will keep using him as a pillow. "Just Who are you guys? " (Aoi) -Adger and This dude. When I asked him this question, He smiled and replied "Don''t be impatient master, I will tell you everything. But Before that should we head to a more safe and secure place?" Aha, When I look around myself. Tokugawa and Seimen are still frozen- Wait! What does he mean by safe and secure? " Oi, What are you planning to do wi---ith--MEE---EEE" (Aoi) He didn''t even bother for my reply and suddenly I was middle of the sky in nowhere. Beneath my feet, was nothing- Thankfully the guy kept on holding me or my story would''ve ended right here! " *Smiles* *Smiles* Let me see, let me see, Where I should start? My name is- Mikhail, A Fallen Angel who serves under The God of Nothing.The God of Nothing is the Title that Master hold, But of course, by master I mean you, Aoi Kichiro " He just blurted out some really serious words with his stupid smile--- Chapter : 4 - Being a God!? No!! I AM THE TRUE GOD!? Gods, Fallen Angels, and Their Titles- Those things were something that I had heard about before in past but as time passed and I grew older, Those silly dreams and stories faded away from my memories with the time. But now, Those memories are coming back to me. 10/11 years earlier I was often bullied by kids of my age so, Hanging out with them was not a choice for me. I was 7 years old when I found out How different I was from everyone else, At that age- I was trying to make friends and live a normal life. " What are you doing? Mister." One day at the dusk, I was wandering around a park near my house- Mother used to force me to go outside. Inside the park, I found a man, wearing loose clothes, his neck was covered by a scarf. He was using a swing as a seat in the park - He looked like a grown man so, I found it a little strange for him to use that swing So, I asked -What are you doing? At first, He seemed to lost in his thoughts and probably didn''t pay attention to my question- He muttered " Searching for my mas- " He looks towards me and continues with his words " Oh, Sor-- Eh? KIDD! You are bleeding! " " Mister, You are using a kid''s swing. " -aren''t you an adult? " Oh, Is that s-- No! worry about yourself! wait- " The man, He pulled out a handkerchief from his pocket and cleaned blood from my nose and then, He picked me up and put me on the swing while he himself, sat on the ground in front of me and started interrogating me. " Hey Kid, doesn''t it hurt? How did you get a nose bleed? " "I tried to play with Uenki-chan so, He punched me and It does hurt a little." " How horrible! Why did he have to punch you! " " Its because I can''t have fun. " He was dumbfounded by my answer, Maybe that answer didn''t make any sense to him. " Huh? You can''t have fun? " -Strange. This mister is suspicious! The person I met at the park, He was without a doubt strange and suspicious. He didn''t even notice my expressionless face, on top of that, He talked to me with kindness and showed concerns of my well beings thus I told him everything- He was the first person outside of my family who showed interest in listening to me. " I can''t smile or cry like others. Whenever someone hit me, I cried but never once my tears showed up and I cried more, To myself. Whenever Uneki-chan told a joke, I laughed but never once the smile I had shown up on my face. I laughed alone. So, They stopped playing with me because I can''t have fun." " Oh but, Isn''t that because you are a bit mature for your age? Adult mortals, They don''t cry or smile from small things. Adults, they tend to be strongly wielded" I never once looked at myself in this way. "Oh I see, When I think about it, yesterday mom was hurt from a knife- She was bleeding yet she didn''t cry. She calmly patched the wound. " -So, I am an adult. Hehehe. " So, You finally understand huh? Good for you, well then, I will be on my way. Bye Kid. " With that, He stood up and started walking away and I believed the reason he put forward to me but sure enough Knowing the reason didn''t help. I was beaten up the next day when I tried to play with others and told them the reason for my inability to laugh or cry. ( This time around, The beating was worse than before ) Next Day, At the same time as before- I Found mister again on the same swing. " Mister! why did you lie to me? " I was angry at mister but my expression, You can tell by now that I had a poker face " Eh? You are the kid from before! why are you all covered in mud?! " -Why do you seem to be angry? So, The mister said while he once again- took out his handkerchief and cleaned my face, When he cleared the mud from my face he saw the bruises that I had on my face- He looked angry. " They beat me-- This time, It was because of you. Why did you lie to me? Mister. I am no adult, I am just 7-year-old kid." " I''m Sorry, Kid. Let me atone for the mistake I made-- " He put one of his hand on my head and suddenly, The burning sensation I was feeling from those bruises disappeared " huh? I don''t feel pain anymo.." " I cannot heal you completely but you won''t feel the pain for now from those bruises " while he said that, He once again picked me up and put me on the swing while he sat on the ground in front of me. For some reasons, I was used to this pain since each day, somehow in a way or two I got hurt or beaten up by others. So, I was surprised when the pain suddenly disappeared, The burning sensation that I kept feeling, Which seemed to be part of my feelings- It finally, went away. -Magic? " Mister, Are you a magician? " " Eh? Magi-- Oh Perhaps I am. " {Present} The unknown person with wings was floating before me with his excellent gaze, staring at me with concerns " Master? Master!, Are you okay?! Do you understand what I just said? " (Angel) How I am supposed to pay attention to such absurdity but then again, I am in the air, floating without any support- Aha, I have no choice, do I now? This angel, Who calls himself Mikhail- Holder of Title known as King of all Angels. Well, He used to hold that title, now He is a fallen angel. He said something really absurd with a serious face " So, you are saying I am not a mere mortal but a god? no-- Not just a god, I am True God who rules over all other gods? " (Aoi) " Yes, You are. Master " (Mikhail) Are you mocking me? was the first thought that came into my mind but when thinking carefully about what''s happening around me and when I look at those two- Tokugawa and Seimen- I think He is not completely lying but that doesn''t mean, I don''t have my doubts about what he told me. " I see " (Aoi) Why I am so calm though? Anyway, I don''t wanna make this guy angry or something- If I act carelessly and make some sort of a mistake he could kill me without lifting his han-- " aha wait, I can''t die. can I? " -Why do I keep forgetting this? (Aoi, Mistakenly spoke out loud) S--S--Shit!, I spoke that I out loud!? " You can die, Master. But not by any normal means, Only a god or A Pure Spiritual being can kill you. A mere mortal cannot even touch you without your permission, let alone harm you. You are an absolute being who rules over the Heavens and Hell- And The Gods" (Mikhail) What the heck is he talking about? I was beaten to the pulp by those mere mortals! they even almost killed me!! *Sigh* " Can you let me down now? I mean, I don''t feel comfortable floating in the air above my own school " -though everything is frozen still in the time, still, I am not a bird! I am supposed to stay on the ground! " But of course, Master. Please hold onto me" (Mikhail) " That''s something I don''t wanna do! " (Aoi) " But if you don''t then you might fall. " (Mikhail) " Didn''t you call me a god? Can''t I fly like you? " (Aoi) " ugh! Okay, That was my mistake. I should explain it properly to you, You might be a true god but This body of yours is nothing more than a mere vessel. Your body could be hurt and you will feel the pain though you won''t die, you will still feel pain." (Aoi) " .... " (Aoi) I think there are a lot of things that need to be explained first. " When we are on the ground, Tell me everything you know about me! " (Aoi) So, I was not able to do anything and Had no choice but allow this angel, Mikhail to carry me to the ground. When I stepped on the ground, I felt a shiver runs through my spine. The concrete I stepped on was so cold that I could even feel it through my shoes. "What''s with this cold? " (Aoi) Mikhail was standing behind me as a servant would behind his master (Butler) His head was leaning towards the ground a little- trying to show respect? I don''t know, I am not sure. " Umm--Cold? Master, The magic that we are currently affected by is Called ''Time-Dimension'' Only a few selected can use this magic, One of those few selected person is Adger, The person you met in your dream and other one is I, Mikhail- Both of us are The servants of The True God. This magic was originally created by YOU, The True God. I and Adger cannot use its full potential, thus whenever we use Time-Dimension, There will be side-effects, One of those side-effects is- We cannot completely stop the flow of Energy, Heat starts to disappear after a certain amount of time and cold starts to take heat''s place." (Mikhail explained)Reading on this site? This novel is published elsewhere. Support the author by seeking out the original. Did I make this magic? I don''t remember though! Mikhail then leaned towards the ground and firmly touched the concrete with one of his hand and continue with-- "We, Servants of yours are glad that you allowed us to use such amazing magic- ''Time-Dimension'' is without a doubt the most powerful magic there is! " (Mikhail) Woah, He sure looks enthusiastic while talking about it.. but seriously, where did I hear this ''Time-dimension'' name before? " I see, Good for you. Now, could tell me what''s exactly is going on right now? Who I am? Why I don''t remember a thing you spoke of? " (Aoi) When I asked Mikhail these question, His enthusiasm disappeared and with a serious face, he replied while looking directly in my eyes. "Master... Are you sure you want to know? The past you have forgotten isn''t something you should be concerned about- I don''t know how you forgot but I think... The things, The memories that disappeared from your memories is-- " (Mikhail) Mikhail stopped middle of talking for a moment, With a sad expression he continued " Even though, It pains us. It is better this way, It is better you have forgotten everything. " (Mikhail) He looks so.. sad, It''s like he gonna cry any moment but, I wanna know Who I am! Why does this person call me Master and Who is the person that I metat that battlefield, surroundedby a pool of blood!!? "Mikhail, I... *Deep-Breath* I just wanna know Who I am, Why I am suffering? " (Aoi) It might be hard for him to talk about something that he doesn''t feel good to bring up, But I have my own reasons to ask him, to insist. WHY THE HELL I CANNOT SHOW EXPRESSIONS? Why I couldn''t live a normal life? Why Me? My question was followed by a moment of silence, but finally, Mikhail said " Your wish is my command, Master. You are True God, The being who ruled over all other gods and created this universe with many other- You are the father of all beings that exist in this Illusion but a few million years ago, Gods betrayed you, Your son betrayed you and yet, You accepted their betrayal delightfully while saying ''You are my creation, My children. It is my job to grant your wishes thus I shall comply and vanish away. '' with those words, you vanished before my eyes, in front of your servants, you vanished. No one knew where''d you have gone. I searched for you, Adger, Diana, Albert, and Mitsuhashi, We all searched for you but we were never able to find you." (Mikhail) "... Eh? EHHHHH!? " (Aoi- Wtf? ) " But Master, This only part of many alternative versions of your past, This is only part of a single timeline of your future and past. The Truth is, There are many version of this story- But all of them resulted in You getting betrayed by your creations. That is why, This is called Illusion, It is an Illusion. In one of these many timelines of your past, You allowed me to merge with other versions of my own self from different timelines. The Adger you met was from a completely different timeline. In this timelines, you actually have yet to meet Adger. The person Adger, you met was from a timeline where he was able to kill you. and I, Mikhail imprisoned him in a place, where he would die again and again so, Meantime he could reflect on what he had done. " (Aoi) So, In other words--- There are others just like me? but since Mikhail said, He merged with his other self so, He is only one person who doesn''t have a copy or exists in any other timeline? though this is rather confusing, once you understand what he meant, It is rather simple to grasp on the matter. But all he talked about was True God, Not particularly me. "I somewhat understand what are you saying but--- It doesn''t answer why I am unable to show expressions. Why I am apathetic? " (Aoi) "Master, I simply do not know. You never once showed your emotions on your face in any of your timelines though It was different when you were fully fledged true god. At that time, You did show emotions on your face but in this body of yours, I never seen you show any sort of emotions but that doesn''t mean I don''t understand How you feel inside, I can feel all of your emotions like my own so It never bothered me once" (Mikhail) So, This condition of mine somehow related to me being a human? There is a possibility. And when Mikhail said, He can feel my emotions like his own, I wonder about that " What do you mean by you can feel my emotions like your own? " (Aoi) "That''s exactly as I said, For me to realize that you happy or sad or anxious, There is no need for any sort of expression on your face. I just know how you feel but that''s all. Its something like, as if I can see your expression on your face so I particularly do not know Why do you feel that way. " (Mikhail) Oh, I see, When he says he can feel my emotions like his own, He doesn''t mean that He can read my mind or something. It just he knows, Like an instinct? "Umm, There is something else I would like to ask you " (Aoi) The question that kept on lingering in me, It something that I realized the moment I saw him " Go ahead, Master. " (Mikhail) " Why I am so calm? I mean, shouldn''t be like scared? or something like that. Right now, I feel as if this is all normal though It''s not, You bombarded with all of this absurd things but yet " (Aoi) The most important question was, why I cannot die? but There is no need for an answer after what Mikhail told me. The answer is rather simple, It is because I am some sort of True God or at least, My soul is. The vessel he talked about before simply meant that I am might be true god but This body of mine is a Human''s body thus I might not die but I will still feel the pain just like any other normal human being and my wounds will be healed since my soul is.. True god? It must be something like that, I hope. " It is because of Adger. The reason I sent you to Adger was for you to receive courage, Courage was something that required for you to not freak out like normal mortals(Humans). In simple words, Adger that you met you in your dream was God of Death, To face the death one requires courage and When you faced Adger, You received courage to face reality in the same way one needs the courage to face death. " (Mikhail) Not this again, Anyways-Courage? Is that why I this calm? Hmm, I have my doubts but it''s not like there is any other explanation and I don''t have a choice but to believe Mikhail''s words since there is no one else who could explain anything to me. "I understand, So, What now? What I should do now? " (Aoi) Mikhail was searching for me this timeline and now he found me and I was searching for reasons behind my inability to show expression and I think I found those reasons. So, What is there to do now? get back the ability to show expression? I don''t think that''s something a normal human like me can do, Even if Mikhail said I am a true god but I don''t feel like a god, nope not at all! "I am glad, you asked, Master." (Mikhail) Glad? "Aha, Good for you. " (Aoi) "It is but not only for me but for you too. The first step is for you to meet the requirements! to gain the power of a god! " (Mikhail) Eh? " AND HOW DO I DO THAT??! can''t you explain in a manner that a normal guy like me can understand? " (Aoi) "N-Normal guy?! I see, so, That how you wanna play it. Hemp! I understand." (Mikhail ) What do you understand?? " Anyway, Master you need to gain back your power first and to do that, Please say these words and The system will recognize that you want to step back in realms of Gods! " System? Oh now I remember, The first time I saw Time stopped moving, a few words came to my mind and when I spoke those words, I heard some voice and it sa--- Aha, I think that was the system? but what is system anyway? "So, What are those words that I need to speak? " (Aoi) " ''I, The True God Commands You, The System to grant me the power once I held- Power that created this world, Power that created This Universe, Power That can destroy all and Power that commands this Illusion'' " (Mikhail) "Eh? Do I have to say those words? " (Aoi) "Of course, Master. " (Mikhail) This is embarrassing, but-- Here goes! "I, The True Gods Commands You, The System to grant me the power once I held- Power that created this world, Power that created This Universe, Power That can destroy all and Power that commands this Illusion" (Aoi) Umm noting is happen... SYSTEM - GRANTED.. *FUSS* RETURNING TO PREVIOUS ORDER SYSTEM - AOI KICHIRO, THE GOD OF NOTHING HAVE MET THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENT TO BRING UP, TIME-DIMENSION "Time-Dimension? Why? " (Aoi) " Master!? DId you try to call forth time-dimension before you met me?" (Mikhail) SYSTEM - ERROR, TIME-DIMENSION IS ALREADY ACTIVATED {Remebers the time, When Tokugawa and Seimen almost Killed Aoi} (for some uncertain reason A few words came to me at that time and those words were " Time Dimension " When I spoke those words SYSTEM - ACCESS DENIED SYSTEM - INSUFFICIENT PERMISSION TO BRING UP, TIME DIMENSION SYSTEM - INDIVIDUAL, AOI KICHIRO - HAVE YET TO MEET MINIMUM REQUIREMENT Tokugawa and Seimen were enough but this voice that I just heard terrified me more. It did stop but I didn''t want to take any risk and started playing dead. ) Oh, that Time! "I think I kinda Did, Mikhail " (Aoi) SYSTEM - INTRUDING TIME-DIMENSION DETECTED, OVERRIDING CURRENT TIME-DIMENSION " MASTER!! DUCK NOW!? " (Mikhail) SYSTEM - DESTRUCTION OF INTRUDER''S TIME-DIMENSION, 3-2-1 When Mikhail shouted those words I out, I instantly ducked down and I am sure thankful that I did because- Two huge light, similar to shockwaves traveling at the incredible speed smashed into each other just above us, in the sky with. When Those lights, Similar to shockwave hit each other- They turned the whole sky into blue flames and just after those flames, The roaring sound as if an atom bomb just set off, The power of the system sure was scary. "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?! T--Sky is burning those blue flame!!" (Aoi) I couldn''t believe my eyes when I witnessed the whole sky burning, I never thought that the atmosphere could be gluped into the fire! " That''s your fault! Master, How could you play around with the system? Ordering it to bring up Time-Dimension without even having sufficient permission for it!! That''s even beyond stupidity!" (Mikhail) "EH? You calling your master a moron? How dare you, you freaking angel?" (Aoi) SYSTEM - DESTRUCTION OF INTRUDING TIME-DIMENSION WAS SUCCESS, TIME-DIMENSION WAS BROUGHT UP SUCCESSFULLY. Thankfully, that fire didn''t last long and it was gone by the time system spoke again. I am thankful. SYSTEM - AOI KICHIRO, HAVE BEEN REGISTERED SUCCESSFULLY AS A GOD ONCE AGAIN. THE TITLE HAVE BEEN RETURNED TO IT''S ORIGINAL OWNER, TO AOI KICHIRO. THE TITLE ''GOD OF NOTHING'' THAT REPRESENT, TRUE GOD- AOI AKIHIRO HAS SUCCESSFULLY OBTAINED ANOTHER TITLE, ''TRUE GOD'' "Oho, is this how it works? wonderful! this system, it explains everything! just like an comp--." (Aoi) Don''t tell me.. Is that some sort of computer programme? "Master! Tell it to cancel the announcement! quickly tell the system to not announce anything regarding to Title of True God! " (Mikhail) I was not able to think about it much when Mikhail said and shifted my attention to him. SYSTEM - AOI KICHIRO HAVE SUCCESSFULLY OBTAINED TITLE OF TRUE GOD. AOI KICHIRO IS REGISTERED AS TRUE GOD WITH LOWEST AUTHORITY OVER THE SYSTEM''S CORE. "Eh? What do you mean Mikhail? " (Aoi) " DON''T ASK! JUST DON''T LET SYSTEM TO ANNOUNCE ANYTHING!!! " (Mikhail) While pressing me to stop the system from announcing something SYSTEM - ANNOUNCING----- {At the same time, In Heaven/Hell- System started to announce} {In Heaven} In a certain mansion, There was a throne surrounded by beautiful ladies and there was a person wearing defense gears from his toe to neck resting on his magnificent throne- That person was known as God of War. When His mansion was echoed by a voice SYSTEM - ANNOUNCEMENT TO ALL THE GODS AND BEINGS, GOD OF DEATH TITLE HAS RET.... These were words that the voice spoke but suddenly was followed by silence. When God of War heard the System announcing something related to God of Death- He stood up from his throne, Trembling from the fear "G--God of--- Don-Don''t tell me, He came bac.. no! it can''t be!! " (God of War) The only person who could shake the throne of a god, That was God of Nothing- Refusing to believe such nonsense as God of nothing has returned God of war sat back down on his throne while acting all calm when he saw the face of those ladies in shock, whom he was surrounded by- God of war calmy made a gesture in front of his face and before him, appeared a transparent window- On that window Connecting.. Connected Successfully to Demon Lord Now You are Talking to Demon Lord!
{Picture of Demon Lord}
" OI, fat-ass, Did you hear the announcement which was interrupted? " (God of War) " Oh Yes, I did my lord. What we should do, If it was true? " (Demon Lord) " What are you even asking, Moron! of course, We will have to kill him once again-- Along with that freaking fallen angel. " (God of War) " Aha bu--But, That''s True God you know? " (Demon Lord) God War showed his anger on his face When he heard demon lord suggesting that if True God wants he could Kill them, He can without much of effort "I know that, Freak! but we did kill him before, didn''t we? That moronic true god thinks of us his children- Doesn''t he? He woul--" (God of War) God of War of god was not aware of a fact- That fact was The True God- He doesn''t have memories of ever creating anything thus..-- The True God is not anymore a god who thinks of other gods as his children, He doesn''t care about them anymore. He is Aoi Kichiro. "Anyway, Other gods must have also heard this announc---" (God of war) God of War was interrupted by System SYSTEM - ANNOUNCEMENT: Aha? Hmm-- God of nothing just died so, Ummm you don''t have worry about it okay? Okay?...................... Hey, Mikhail How did I do?... Master! You are still on, You are stil... Oh! shit!, I forgot, sorry Mikhail-- System, Turn tha......... SYSTEM - COMPLETION OF ANNOUNCEMENT. ".........." (God Of War) "........"(Demon Lord) After an awkward moment of silence " HE IS FREAKING BACK!!! WHAT WE SHOULD DO!!? " (God of War) God of War said while freaking out and losing his self-control. ; End of Chapter. Chapter : 5 - Two Sides of a Coin and Two Sides of a Coin { 4 Days Ago, Before Aoi attempted his first suicide on the rooftop of his school.} There was a boy, whose life was filled with nothing but torture. He would be a target of torture, and then he would inflict that same torture on someone else. it was a never-ending cycle he had lived with so far. Weak and Strong has a little difference in them After a beating, some stands back up with more strength and fight for their place in this world But you know? Not everyone gets stronger by a beating. There are also kind of people, Who never again would want to stand up again, From that beating. Those who stand up again are known as Strong and those who couldn''t gather their courage to stand up once again to face the world, are known as weak. "EH! Freeloader!, Wake the fuck up! " shouted a man in his home. There was a home, their neighbors always complained about them being too loud and noisy. "Aha, so early in the morning! why they can''t stay quiet and thinks for once about us? " said one of neighbor to his wife. "You know, sometimes I even hear screams from that house. What could be happening there? " Said his wife while making coffee for her husband " Like we care! just bring me my coffee, I am already late!" Answered husband to his wife So, They didn''t care about what was happening but they did care about the consequence of it- Which was loud noises. {After two hours} The boy from that noisy home walked outside in a high school uniform, On his way- He met his friend "Hey! You are late! " Said his friend "Yea-Yea, I know but it''s not like I can do anything about it, I have to my part-time job early in the morning to earn my keep-sake! " replied the boy to his friend "Tokugawa, You--Your, cheek- did he beat you again? What an asshole! " Said his friend while he looked a little worried "Seimen! Didn''t I tell you before to not talk about it? It won''t do anything to talk about it, It...its gonna remind me more of it " (Tokugawa) With multiple expression on his face, Tokugawa replies to his friend Seimen "Hmm, I think you should contact to some-sort of child abus... " Seimen was interrupted by Tokugawa "Shut-the-fuck-up! Dude, If you said a single about it more, I''ll fucking beat you to the pulp! " (Tokugawa) "Aha! sorry, Don''t get angry like this... Anyway, Let''s run! we are already late! " (Seimen) The reason why Tokugawa didn''t ask for anyone''s help was because of his little sister- She was still in elementary school and He knew he would not be able to support her even if he left the school for a job, The expense of renting a house, bills, food- He would never able to earn this much money as he is now (A 17-year-old boy). So, He endured everything on his own but that---That only made it worse for him. {At the Launches Break, Behind the Main School Building } Though There were times " Did you get what I asked for? " (Tokugawa) When others/his fellow classmates tried to give Tokugawa a helping hand, asked him to rely on them if something happens if he needs something. "A-Uhh---Yes! here--- I stole them from my fath--Father. " And Tokugawa just did that, He asked one of his classmates for cigarettes since Tokugawa couldn''t buy them because of his age. "Woah! you did it! Tokugawa, now can we enjoy ourselves! " (Seimen) But Tokuwaga never once brought the real problem in front of anyone. "Thank you dude, You are much help! now, shuuu-shuuu " (Tokugawa) "T--Then, I will go to class. " The boy left after giving cigarettes he stole from his father to Tokugawa. Both of them, Tokugawa and Seimen sat down on the ground and started to smoke behind the Main School Building "This--This is bliss. " (Seimen) " Right? we should ask him for more tomorrow " (Tokugawa) "By the way, Tokugawa- Why do you hate Aoi? I mean, we do always beat the guy but... Even though He doesn''t show any sort of emotions, I starting to feel pity for him. " (Seimen) "*Sigh* I don''t know but whenever I see his face-- I feel like punching him"(Tokugawa) "LOL, Damn right! though I do feel pity him that expressionless face of his, It really pisses me off too. Its like He doesn''t care about anything at all, as if He.. He doesn''t have to wo.." (Seimen) " This is last year of high school, Only a few months... to go" (Tokugawa) "Hmm.. " (Seimen) "I''ll have to go home today so, we won''t be able to hang out after the school. " (Tokugawa) "Eh?? Why? " (Seimen) "I promised my sister to go out with her to watch a Mo...Movie. " (Tokugawa) "Aha, Is that why? Right. I got it " (Seimen) Seimen didn''t ask anything else, nor he tried to force Tokugawa to hang out with him since He was well aware of Tokugawa loves his sister to the point where it could be mistaken for some other relationship. These guys were really good friends. Seimen almost had the same kind of parents as Tokugawa, but in Seimen''s case- They just neglected him, not beat him and Seimen ended up the path that he walks on now. But, Both of them were bold and the future that awaits them isn''t looking good for these two friends. Tokugawa and Seimen Skipped rest of the school and Left for their Home {Around 11:00 AM} "Well, Then I will see you tomorrow- Tokugawa! " (Seimen) "Yea, Sure. Bye " (Tokugawa) Tokugawa Headed towards his home and when He was finally Home "I''m Ho... " (Tokugawa) Tokugawa was greeted by a flying shoe on his face "Where the fuck is my money? Did you steal it? You-- " (Father) "Uh? Why would I? " (Tokugawa) Tokugawa''s head started to bleed from a small cut caused by the shoe, Though it was just a small cut but for s--- "Don''t lie, you! give me back my money, Right now! " (Father) "But... I DIDN''T FUCKING STEAL YOUR MONEY!! " (Tokugawa) Being accused as a thief, Tokugawa lost himself in anger and unfortunately shouted out loud towards his abusive father. "You.... " (Father) With that word, Tokugawa father picked up the table phone which was on a table just beside him and ran towards Tokugawa while he shouted " YOU UNGRATEFUL BASTARD! " and started to hit Tokugawa on his head with that table phone, Tokugawa covered his head with his hands but... He lost consciousness when the side of his head was hit by the phone which inflicted damage on his bulging vein When Tokugawa lost his consciousness, His father quickly started to check Tokugawa''s pocket and found a few dollars, the money Tokugawa had earned from his part-time job. with that money, Tokugawa''s father left the house, Tokugawa was bleeding, Internally. {20Min Later}The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident. "Brother, I am H..O...m?? BROTHER! " Around 20min later, Tokugawa sister came home from her elementary school, excited to go out with her brother to watch a movie, excited to see her brother but she was greeted by-- Her brother was lying on the ground, unconscious and there was dry blood on his forehead- The moment she saw her brother, she knew that it was her father who did this. "Brother! wake up, why won''t y..you *hick*.. wake up? pl..please, I won''t ask for *hick* cho..chocalate anymore.. " (Tokugawa''s Littler Sister- Suzuki) She tried to wake brother her up but Her brother-Tokugawa didn''t answer. On that fateful day, Tokugawa Died. The cause of death, Internal bleeding, head trauma. . . . . . But thatwas not the end of Tokugawa but the beginning... Tokugawa had the far greater purpose of his birth which will be followed by his death. "My.. Dear Sister, I''m Sorry.. I''m so sorr... please forgive me" Said Tokugawa while he floats above his body, looking at his sister- Both of them were crying. His Sister, She was crying in the grief of his brother''s death and Her brother, being able to see her in such miserable state but yet unable to comfort her, they were so close yet so far from each other, This is what death is. {15min Earlier} Tokugawa woke up from his sleep. "What I''ve done?! How could I? She was waiting for me god damn it! Why did I have to shout??! YOU FUCKING MORON! " (Tokugawa) The moment he woke up, He was engulfed by Anger, Sadness and regrets. Because, The moment he opened his eyes again, He knew.. Without even looking at himself, He knew-- He had died. "You.. Fucking..Moron..Why? did.. You do that? Just why? " (Tokugawa) There was no one else he could rely on for his sister''s care. It was only himself, whom he could truly rely on. Tokugawa was aware of the harsh reality that one has to face in this world if there no one else to rely on, He was well aware of it. The truth is, His friendship with Seimen was for this exact reason. {Present- The Time Tokugawa''s Sister saw Tokugawa''s body and started crying} "My.. Dear Sister, I''m Sorry... I''m so sorr... please forgive me" When Tokugawa was crying over his own body with his sister, He heard a voice calling out for him "Tokugawa." said the voice Tokugawa looked up while his eyes were filled with tears and had become red "You are not dead, not yet. " Said the voice "Wh..What do you mean? Stop t.." asked Tokugawa. Tokugawa was sure that he had died, There was no way that he was still alive- He knew it somehow but He didn''t realize that How he was able to hear this voice and how this voice was able to talk to him and when he did realize "WHO ARE YOU? Answer me! How can you talk to dead? Aha! never mind that, Please let me talk to my sister! I beg of you, please! " (Tokugawa) But the voice didn''t answer. "Pl..Please, Let *Sob* me talk.. for the l..last time, I wanna talk to her" (Tokugawa) "I see, you desire to talk to your little sister? I can grant your wish but... There is a condition." (Voice) Tokugawa had already given up on the hope but when he the voice says that his wish could be granted-- He became inpatient " But what??! I will accept anything even if it is hell! " (Tokugawa) Tokugawa''s action later would result in many deaths. "You are considerably obedient. Well, you are a mere human. The condition is simple- All you have to do is Kill a person. Will you do it? " (Voice) Without even second thought, Tokugawa instantly replied "YES! I WILL! Just let me.. " (Tokugawa) "Such..Trash..Why do.. I have to do this.. " (Voice Mumbled) "Eh? What?! " (Tokugawa) "Repeat These words, ''Dear, God of Death- Adger Kichiro, I wish to return to my former life by Accepting your request.'' " (Adger) "Is that all??! " (Tokugawa) "Yes, That is al... Aha, no--I forgot to mention, If you talked about this to anyone, Your sister will die. " (Adger) "HUH!? How can I talk about this to anyone? I am already dead! God damn it! I just wanna Apologize to my little for the last time! " (Tokugawa) "You don''t understand, Dead people cannot interact with mortals nor they can talk to each other thus I am gonna revive you so.. Just tell me do you accept it or not? Time is running out, Tik-Tok, Tik-Tok " (Adger) "I ACCEPT! " (Tokugawa) "Then come on, Hurry up! " (Adger) Tokugawa looked at her little sister for a moment, She was still crying and Then Tokugawa repeated those words. "Dear, God of Death- Adger Kichiro, I wish to return to my former life by Accepting your request" (Tokugawa) "I, Adger Kichiro, God of Death- Give You Permission To Return! " (Adger) -This is embarrassing.. System, send him already. With this, The next time Tokugawa Blinked, He was already in his own body. "huh? Brother!! " (Suzuki) The moment Suzuki saw Her brother opening his eyes, She tightly hugged him--Scared to let go, Thinking He would leave her alone if she let him go now. "I''m Sorry brother*hick*... I won''t again ask anything to you, please*hick*.. stay with me" (Suzuki) "I won''t... and I''m sorry... " (Tokugawa) Tokugawa was confused, Still unable to grasp on what just happened- Out of body experience that he had, It felt like a bad dream to him-- But That doesn''t mean that he thought of it as a dream since He knew, That He did die and Returned to back to life with the help of-- Adger, The God of Death and Now, He had no choice but Kill a person and That person was-- {Next Day} Their Father didn''t come back home last night nor Tokugawa and Her sister went to watch any movie. Tokugawa went to his part-time job as always and then went to school after dropping her sister to her School...(Suzuki''s School is not far from home so, Suzuki insists on going alone to the school and He allowed her to go alone but today was different, He dropped her sister school first then came to his own High School) Tokugawa wasn''t speaking much and kept an aura of silence around himself and Seimen noticed it so, He asked Tokugawa while they standing in the hallway "Hey, Tokugawa-Is something wrong? You not answering to my question properly and just hmming? " (Seimen) Tokugawa answer with "hmm"- Tokugawa was lost in his thoughts, still thinking about yesterday''s incident. "Dude! are you kidding me? " (Seimen) "Seimen, Do you think y...*Sigh* Nevermind.." (Tokugawa) "Huh?" (Seimen) "So, what you were saying? " (Tokugawa) {5Min Later} " Oh-ho, you talking about that? " ( Tokugawa) "Yea, That was hilarious. the way you opened the door of girl''s changing room and shouted -Pantieman have arrived to grab--Hahaha- " (Seimen) They were having a fun conversation of their past but the only who was actually enjoying was Seimen-- While making up something, Tokugawa started thinking about what to do and How he should do it, How he should... -Damn it! I might have enjoyed beating him but... To Actually kill him? That''s just (<--Tokugawa thinking) But he had no choice but to do it. " Lol, that was a long time ago. At that time we were in middle school" (Tokugawa ) -He will be coming by anytime soon... " By the way, did you see Mitsuhashi? How he always- " ( Seimen ) " get behind us, I know right. it''s pathetic " ( Tokugawa ) -Come on Tokugawa! You have to th.. Wait, This might work! " Putting a fake smile on his face, thinking that we don''t know anything. I hate that Mitsuhashi " ( Seimen ) " Don''t worry, one day he will show his true intent. until that day comes, Aoi will have to entertain us " ( Tokugawa ) The person Tokugawa was ordered to kill was none other than Aoi Kichiro. -I have to start talking about Aoi! In that way... " Isn''t this great? he doesn''t cry nor show any sort of expression on his face. we can enjoy all we want and never feel guilty. Oh, There is he is with his apathetic face " ( Tokugawa ) So, Tokugawa started making a plan. A Plan, To kill his fellow classmate- Aoi. "Hey! Where do you think you are going without greeting Tokugawa and me?" ( Seimen, Grabs Aoi''s shoulder ) -I''m sorry, Aoi. But You will die by my hands If I don''t then my little sister... When Tokugawa was apologizing in his mind and trying to justify what He was about to do-- He Looked At Aoi " Let him go, Seimen " ( Tokugawa ) He saw four shadows standing behind Aoi, Guarding The Person He intends to kill. Their Killing intent towards Tokugawa was clear as the sky- The moment Tokugawa saw those four shadows standing behind Aoi, He knew-- He wouldn''t even able to put a scratch on Aoi, let alone kill him. The person, Aoi- Who had always been weak and shy towards others suddenly had these four shadows standing behind him--- This person was not the same Aoi that Tokugawa had bullied before. " eh? Wh-- " ( Seimen, Looks at Tokugawa''s Terrified face ) Seimen took off his hand from Aoi''s shoulder without any question, Seimen had never seen Tokugawa this terrified " Aoi, we will see you later " ( Tokugawa ) With that, Tokugawa lost all the hope of Killing Aoi. But a chance came. {Luanch Break} Seimen was confused by Tokugawa''s action ''Why''d Tokugawa asks me to let go Aoi? '' Tokugawa never once has done that before so, Obviously, Seimen was worried about Tokugawa''s mental condition or If Tokugawa has somehow changed ''no! I can''t let him become...Weak. '' Afraid to let Tokugawa become someone who instead of bullie becomes a victim of bullies. Thus, Seimen thought of a plan and Called Tokugawa to the roof When Tokugawa came to the rooftop of his school, but before opening Roottop''s gate He noticed a bat lying beside the door, It was already covered in a blood ''Did someone kill some sort of an animal with it? I should take it '' while thinking that He took the bat and then opened the door- He found Seimen talking Aoi. ''What the hell is this guy doi.. Those shadows... There aren''t here anymore? huh? wait... Aoi''s uniform, It is different than the morning. This is my chance! '' While Seimen was distracting Aoi, Tokugawa thought if Seimen keep on distracting than He might able to hit Aoi with a surprise attack and kill him. So, He did. He sneaked upon Aoi and Hit Aoi on his head. But Aoi didn''t fell on the ground " Huh? Blo...d?" ( Aoi ) When Seimen saw Tokugawa hitting Aoi on his head with a bat, He was dumbfounded by Tokugawa''s actions and Ran towards the door- Not to ask for help or anything like that but to check if someone saw it " Who said you could speak, Bastard! " ( Tokugawa ) -Please die already! "I...I..m...so..y..." ( Aoi ) With a broken voice, Aoi started apologizing if he had done something. -Why are you apologizing? please... just diee.. " Don''t you dar- say a word " ( Tokugawa ) With those words, Tokugawa once again hit Aoi on his head-- and this time, Aoi fell on the ground like a rock "I.. " (Aoi) But that was not enough to kill Aoi, So, Tokugawa hit him again and Again on Aoi head. " you emotionless bastard! Just Die! " ( Tokugawa ) -If that saves me and my sister! just die already fucker! Many more hits, Aoi was finally dead or that''s what Tokugawa thought.. Seimen came running back to Tokugawa but instead of asking Why he had done this? he asked " Is he dead?" (Seimen) There was no remorse of pity in Seimen''s words. At least not for Aoi. Aoi Kichiro was just an Apathetic Person, To Seimen, Aoi was nothing but a robot in human''s skin that finally broke. Out of breath, Tokugawa replied with little guilt he felt " *Pheff *Pheff Yea. I think so, let''s get out of here before anyone sees us " (Tokugawa) ..... "All I can say, They were good friends who supported each other, Even when one of them killed an innocent person " (Unknown) "So, That''s how you see it? " (Unknown #2) "Yes. After all, Regarding Master, I do feel anger and sadness but... Don''t you think their action was required to.. Wake up Master? " (Unknown) "But that doesn''t mean, You don''t bear any responsibilities towards Master''s Death. Wouldn''t you agree? Adger Kichiro - The God of Death." (Unknown #2) " I do Agree, Mikhail. I do agree. I am responsible for the pain that Master felt- Please, Do give me a proper punishment. " (Adger) "Even if what you have done was for the master''s sake but it was not something Master wanted. Forgive me but I shall send you to the prison of Gods. " (Mikhail) "I accept your punishment, Please take care of the Master. " (Adger) " I will. " (Mikhail) ....... "What a mess, Sending a person across timelines to killing master? What Adger has done was truly wrong but... If Adger hadn''t done it.. I am sure He wanted to save me from the guilt of Killing Master with my own hands. Aha, I will have to go to the Master''s side now. How long its been since I last talked to Master? 10 years? or 100 Million years? " (Mikhail) ; End of Chapter. Chapter : 6 - The Ultimate Power {10/11 years earlier -Continues from Chapter: 4} The Person I met at that park, Claimed to be a magician- " Mister, Are you a magician? " " Eh? Magi-- Perhaps I am. " Or rather, I might have forced him. The word "Magic" was a convenient explanation for a kid, Behind that abnormal healing of my bruises and I once again believed words he spoke to me. He was a magician for me. "You seems to be interested in magic- Do you wanna know more about it? " said the magician with a smile on his face, as if he felt relieved to see me excited even though I was not able to show that excitement on my face "of course, I do! Tell me, what can you do more? " I asked the magician who sat in front of me on the ground The magician stood up on his feet, spared his arms wide and then, two huge wings materialized behind his back out of nowhere- "Annn...Angel?! " the only word that came out of my mouth when I saw those beautiful wings behind his back At that moment, I realized the stories that I had heard from my mom about Gods and Angels- They were all true. They exist! and Are truly beautiful beings. "Kid, I am not a mere Angel. I am someone who commands all Angels, I stand above them. " Said the magician- No, I should call him Angel now. I didn''t understand what he had just said, All I could see was his beautiful wings and the fact, This angel, He was cool and---- "You are cool..but, Can I touch them?" All I wanted at that time, To touch those beautiful wings and get to know them better "huh?" The Angel looked confused but when, He looked at me and saw me, staring directly towards his wings- "Well, If you want-- Yes, You can but please, don''t go plucking any of feather. " The thought of plucking one of feather never crossed my mind but maybe, Just maybe, I should have taken one of a feather to examine it later but now was not the time to think about this stuff, There was an angel standing before my eyes and I was allowed to touch his wings, Feel those beautiful wings! with my own hands, This was a chance that no one might ever get in the future, I felt really lucky-- And So, I gently touched one of his wings, the fluffiness of fur sent a shiver through my spine when I touched it, It was warm and gave me a feeling of gentleness even though I had always imagined it to be...Anyways, For a second I imagined myself using that wing as a pillow, " How comfy " and Before I realized, I was already drolling all over it while hugging it and rubbing my face on it. "--HEY! HEY! What are you doing?! Let go! for heaven''s, I didn''t allow you to lick them! " I wasn''t licking. I wasn''t. Okay, I was, A little--- {After Few Minutes of struggle, that Angel had to go through to free himself from me} "Kids are scary... " Mumbled Angel after throwing a tantrum "But... They were so wonderful--- " ".....(-_-)......" He stared at me with a death stare, as if he was saying "If you do that again, I''ll kill you. " ".....(''_'' ")....." and that stare, Made me understand what he trying to say quite well-- days went by in no time, every day, we met in that same park at a fixed time- It became like a routine of mine. He always told me stories about his adventures and I became fond of those stories that I heard from him but there was something, Something that took turns for worse every time I met him and that was beating from other kids of my age- Whenever I tried to tell other kids about this angel, Whom I always meet in the park and mention about the stories that he shares with me- I was branded delusional since no one I brought with me in the park to meet this angel were able to see him. "Why can''t you see him? He is standing right there! " I said to those kids. But the reply from them was the same as always "Aoi- He is weird! Day-dreamer! let''s throw rocks at him, to wake him up" and I was greeted by those small rocks on face and body and The Angel, He stood there- Standing still, Looking at me with his pity, Never once extended his hand to help me-- only healed me after the beating. "Why? Why they can''t see you? " I asked the angel while he healed my wounds "Kid, The question should be- Why you can see me? As I told you before, We Are Spiritual beings that exist in a completely different dimension than mortals like you. What are you? " replied Angel while he stood up on his feet after healing me The answer from Angel was the same as always as if-- He had already made up a reason to hide the truth. From the stories I heard, This Angel, He could do everything so, Why he can''t prove others wrong? Why he couldn''t show himself in front of others, Just for once! All lies--- "All lies, you are lying-- Aren''t you? Maybe I am delusional, It''s not fair, What dimensions and what rules. They are all made in my head, you are made in my head since I was lonely, Since everyone hurt me- I made you cause I felt lonely! That''s the truth. Those guys are right... I am delusional." After all, In All of his other stories, Humans were able to see him- It is just in this story, They can''t see him-- So Unfair. when He heard me say that and replied with words that I had never imagined he could speak "If that''s the case, Should I burn those who hurt you? I''ll make them count every rock they threw at you. " Was the person whom I thought of delusional is actually existed? If he did something like this, He could prove that he really exists but-- "NO! YOU CAN''T! " But maybe he already knew, He knew I would never ask him to do such a thing. In any case, I regretted not allowing him to do it. ".....Please, Grow up to be brave and courageous. Goodbye " That Angel, He flew away towards a place that I could never hope to achieve-- It just meant, I will never see him again. "I cannot let them die if they die- Whom am I gonna be friends with? " was the thought that made me decline angel''s words. But Whom I was kidding? Since I burned the world with my own hands. {Present} "Master, Now that you have done that-- You should get familiar with your power, There will be Gods coming to get rid of you. " (Mikhail) "Hmm... So, How do I get familiar with my power? " (Aoi) I and Mikhail are currently walking towards the place where we first met, Rooftop of my High school- After my blunder, He told me to get familiar with my power- I don''t know what kind of power or Skills I have but they look sure gives me the impression of being Overpowered-- I mean, Look at my surroundings, Everything is frozen in the time- If I can do this, There will be no way my opponent will avoid any sort of attacks from me since they would be literally frozen in a place all the while not being able to do anything at all. "But of course, By using the power that you hold" (Mikhail) "and How do I use this power? " (Aoi) " By ordering the strongest bein... The Strongest Thing-- The System " (Mikhail) He said that and slowly opened the gate of Rooftop- "For starter, Why not get rid of them? " (Mikhail) The cold air rushed through my body when I saw them-- Tokugawa and Seimen, Tokugawa was still holding the bat, Which he had used before-- To beat me. The bat was still in the air and I could see my own shadow-- The shadow was a little transparent but I can clearly see half of his face since the other half is covered by his hands. There is not a single shred of sadness, horror or shock on his face-- The emotions that I felt at that time, were completely missing from his face. "That''s me... " (Aoi) Even I, myself is unable to feel any pity towards him, Towards myself. "No, That''s Aoi Kichiro. You are no longer him, You are now The True God. " (Mikhail) ".....I am Aoi Kichiro and That person, Who is begging for his life, Trying his best to fight for a place in this world, Is me. " (Aoi) "......" (Mikhail) "Speak up, Mikhail. " (Aoi) "I understand, Master Aoi. " (Mikhail) I cannot possibly forget my past, The horror I have been through, The pain I felt- It is still fresh in my memories. I do not know what they have gained or lost while making me suffer but-- "Master, Do you want to take the place of Aoi Kichiro once again? " (Mikhail) There was no need to answer Mikhail, He should know the answer. I stood in place of my shadow, Facing the guys who made me do the last thing I wanted to do, To Give up on my own life. As a person, as a human being, as a student, as a son and a god, I utterly despise them-- "You can order The System to deactivate Time-Dimension, It doesn''t matter how you say it. " (Mikhail) It doesn''t? I see. So, as long as I hint system to do a certain thing it will work-- "Okay. The system, Deactivate Time-Dimension. "(Aoi) SYSTEM - DEACTIVATING TIME-DIMENSION. 3, 2, 1-- There wasn''t any visual difference when System deactivated Time-Dimension excluding The spectrum I talked about before, it slowly Started to move once again just like it stopped when Time-Dimension was activated- I still can''t understand nature of it. Even though The spectrum is like a fog and it should limit my ability to see around myself but it doesn''t affect my vision at all. It''s as if The spectrum exists yet it doesn''t have any sort of mass? and for some reason I am the only one who can see it, Not even Mikhail is able to see it. SYSTEM - TIME-DIMENSION WAS SUCCESSFULLY DEACTIVATED. As Time-Dimension deactivated, The bat which was frozen in the air, swung in the air without hitting anything. Before I was lying on the ground and Tokugawa was standing on top of me. I was unable to do anything but-- That''s not the case anymore. Right now, I am standing in front of him. My back is straight up, I am not looking down in any sort of shame nor I am wishing for any sort of miracle to occur to save me. "uh? Where is he! " Tokugawa looks in front of him and saw me standing "When did--When did you get there!? " Tokugawa shouted. "It doesn''t matter! Just fucking smash his head already. " (Seimen) Said Seimen While he stood behind Tokugawa, Looking at me with nothing but disgusted eyes. I didn''t feel any fear, Unlike last time There was nothing horrifying about them-- Why was scared of facing them? was the question that rang my head. Even though I know, I was scared of them beyond words but--- I can no longer relate to my old self anymore. These guys are just insignificant beings, That''s what I feel about them now. Tokugawa swings his bat once again, Aiming towards my head in order to knock me down and I was standing there, doing nothing at all with my expressionless face "....Who... Are you?! " (Tokugawa) He did swing his bat with intent to hit me on my head but it was stopped by Mikhail-- Mikhail suddenly appeared before Tokugawa out of nowhere and grabbed the bat in the middle of the air. Mikhail looks a normal human being 21/22-year-old person, if he keeps his wings hidden, wearing a top which seems to be part of a king of ancient Greek culture or something-- His pant is like a pajama though I don''t think that''s a pajama, Just similar to one. "My name is Mikhail and I am a servant of the person who stands behind me, Aoi Kichiro. " (Mikhail) Said Mikhail with a calm manner, I didn''t expect him to be this calm but he was, Honestly I was expecting something like ''You dare try to hit my master? I am gonna kill you'' but it seems that''s not the case. " Huh? Servant?" (Seimen) Seimen was still keeping his distance for some reason and was standing behind Tokugawa as if he being caution "It doesn''t matter! Get out of the way! or else, it will be you who is gonna lay on the ground!! " (Tokugawa) I can understand situations far better than I was able to before, my instinct is telling me to let Mikhail handle this matter and I know, He will be able to deal with it far better compared to me but-- I simply cannot do that. There are two reasons, first of all, These are the guys who made me suffer for this long, Ruined my life and has done unspeakable things to me so, I want to be the one who stands before them once again, to face them head on and the second reason is, I don''t actually believe everything Mikhail told me, I want to confirm that his words and the action I will take will act as a testimony for his words, I know the way I look at my surrounding has suddenly changed drastically but Am I actually the person whom he refers to as True God? "Mikhail, Let him go and get back. " (Aoi) I said to Mikhail while I walked ahead towards Tokugawa and gestured to Mikhail to back off with my right hand "...Aoi, He can... Talk? " ( Seimen and Tokugawa mumbles) "But Mast... I understand but please don''t use Time-Dimension, Time-Dimension will consume your life from now on so, be aware of it. " (Mikhail) "Huh? (Looks behind, towards Mikhail) What did you say? " (Aoi) It will consume my life? "Time-Dimension, It is one of the most powerful ability or Should I say Skill of yours but it comes with a price and that price is your life and it doesn''t matter who uses it, Time-Dimension will always consume its original owner''s life force. " (Mikhail)This content has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. Does that mean... "You were literally killing me while you were using Time-Dimension? What kind of servant you are!? " (Aoi) "Master, you shouldn''t lose focus while you are in the middle of a battle-- they might be just human beings but they still can harm you though you will survive any sort of attack for sure but don''t forget you can feel pain like every human. " I am not fighting a battle! Argh, I wanna throw off this freaking angel from the rooftop... "Mikhail, you are banned from using Time-Dimension. " (Aoi) ".....I understand I will not use it from now on." (Mikhail) Huh, He understands? This Angel is--- Looks back towards Tokugawa and Seimen " Tokugawa and Seimen, For what reason you tried to kill me? " (Aoi) They sure looked shocked for some reasons, as if they have seen a ghost. Both of them were standing still, staring at me- That''s the reaction I was expecting from them when I met them at the school after they killed me but... I stood in front of them with left hand behind my back for no apparent reason and another hand on my chin and when I asked them that question. "....HOW!? How can you talk? You are someone who doesn''t feel anything and can''t talk! why someone like you able to talk suddenly!? " (Tokugawa) Is that the reason why they were in shock? Must be I have been able to speak normally after my first death and when I met them the second time, I didn''t talk to them at all so obviously they didn''t know I was able to talk but-- Why is he interested in that? "Why, you ask? I don''t... Actually, I know, The person who stands behind me, (Point towards Mikhail) you can see him right? He is some sort of Angels or at least, claims to be..." (Aoi) At first, I hesitated to tell them about me and Mikhail since I was being a little caution but then, ''Why? Why I should be cautious of inferior beings like them'' thought came to my mind out of nowhere. "I just don''t claim to be one! I am an--- Fallen angel! " (Mikhail) Even though I claim to not believe Mikhail''s words but why do I act as if I believe everything Mikhail said. it is the mystery I cannot comprehend. " and I am some sort of God. To tell you the truth, You have already killed me once and came close to kill me the second time, Which is this one though I believe you forgot about the first time you killed me for some reasons. " (Aoi) "What...? --I have already-" (Tokugawa) "Tokugawa! Kil... " (Seimen) It''s waste of time to explain to them what''s happened, Though I wanna know the reason behind their action, I doubt it will something more than their amusement of killing an expressionless person like me. they wouldn''t understand, They cannot understand, They wouldn''t even want to understand, The pain I''ve been through and Seimen proved that with his last words. "System, Erase their existence from the world. " (Aoi) That''s the end of these guys. SYSTEM - THE INDIVIDUALS NAMED, TOKUGAWA - SEIMEN ARE BEING ERASED "--What is that voice!? " (Tokugawa) "It can''t be!... Tr--- " (Seimen) They don''t deserve a place in this world since they never allowed me to... SYSTEM - FOUND MEMORIES OF INDIVIDUALS NAMED TOKUGAWA AND SEIMEN IN FOLLOWING MORTALS HARUTO ASHITA KARITO KERIO RIKU HIRU MITSUHATSHI "My... Fa---and People I know? " mumbled (Tokugawa) to himself "My brother... How do you know his name! " shouted (Seimen) when he heard the name of his brother, who is in a hospital after an accident. ASH AISHER .. .... .... SUZUKI {ETC} SYSTEM -FOUND TOTAL OF 10,320 MORTALS, ERASING THEM. "Erasing them? Wh--My sister... No! stop...! " (Tokugawa) as His arms started to disappear with a bright light-- His whole body disappeared along with Seimen''s body. "Wai.. " (Seimen) SYSTEM - SUCCESSFULLY ERASED EXISTENCE OF INDIVIDUALS NAMED TOKUGAWA AND SEIMEN-- SYSTEM - SYSTEM IS ON STAND BY. With those last words, Both of them disappeared in front of my eyes with a shining light and There was this blissful light which had emerged from the many places in the town and--- They all disappeared, All 10,320 People who knew about these guys, Tokugawa or Siemen vanished in thin air with a light appearing out of nowhere replacing their place for a short while. "Master--- " Mikhail called out to me with his distant voice, maybe he felt that I was in bad since I ordered system to erase their existence and that resulted in so many--- "That was not my intention, Mikhail. I do admit I wanted to get rid of them but I never wanted to erase people who were simply associated with them. They were innocent, I know that. I would never do such a thing. " I said with my expressionless face-- I might have committed genocide. "What are you talking about, Master? " said Mikhail all the while showing a little confused expression on his face "Huh? I mean, I killed those, 10,000 people--Even if I am a god or something, That''s not something one can overlook. " (Aoi) With a sudden realization of what I was referring to, Mikhail walked in front of me and with a smile on his face "Instead of that, Master I really think you showed them kindness by simply erasing them-- " (Mikhail) Those were the words he spoke with a smile but his smile turned to of a sadist when he continued " If I were the one to decide what to do with them, I would have probably boiled them alive until they died and then, I would have asked Adger to revive them only to kill them once again with much more terrible way possible all the while making them realize the importance of True God and What they have done to that important being. " (Mikhail) Maybe I was wrong when I said Mikhail could deal with this kind situation far better than me cause they way he described How he would''ve dealt with them, Aha-- I don''t think that''s better. "I see, Please remind me to never ask you to do anything. " (Aoi) "as you say, Master. " (Mikhail) huh? Isn''t he being too obedient? "*Sigh* " (Aoi) Well, I can''t possibly do anything about what I''ve done already-- I guess I will go back to my class now {Classroom: 3-A} There was no one in the class, It was empty-- "The whole school is empty. " mumbles Why did I expect to see someone in this school? In the end, Almost everyone knew about Tokugawa and Seimen so of course, they are erased from the world. I sat down on my table, Alone. There were few words on The board teacher used to write on, Bags of students were still hanging from their tables. I could hear the wind buzzing from the windows, it was something that I had never experienced before in the class since there was never once a moment of silence like this before. I wonder "Why I don''t feel guilty? Have I started to lose my emotions as well? " Mikhail didn''t come with me and said He had something he wanted to do so, I came alone here-- for the last time. There was the time when I only wished to be alone but now that I am alone--- "I can''t go home right now. I''ll take a nap. " I put both of my hands on the table and lay my face down on my hands and almost fell asleep but-- "What''s going on outside? " After a few minutes, I heard a lot of noises coming outside of the school, I walked to the window to look outside and I was sure surprised to see a lot of Police cars and people standing in front of the school gate. ***** "Master--- What have you done? Erasing all those people. " Mikhail mumbles while he flys through the air at the speed of sound "Damn it, I''ll deal with it alone or Master, He might even erase the whole planets! On top of that, He still has yet to realize that He also killed... Damn it all, why this happened!" Mikhail fly towards an unknown direction but then he slows down when he noticed a figure emerging in the sky in front of him "Is that... Is that him? " There was someone flying towards Mikhail-- That person stopped in distance of 100 meters from Mikhail, floating in the middle of the air when He/she saw Mikhail and then slowly approached Mikhail and now That person was in 1 meter away from Mikhail, Floating in front of him "State your name Unknown Being! " Said the unknown person who now floats before Mikhail "My name doesn''t concern you. Tell me, What are you doing here, Guardian of Earth? " Asked Mikhail to the Guardian "How do you know me, Argh, I understand. So---- You are the one! How dare you kill those mortals!? " Said Guardian person to Mikhail {Few Minutes Earlier} The Guardian was floating above the earth, delightedly drinking heavenly tea from a teacup. he looks at a magnificent planet he was bestowed by The Gods to governs-- "How wonderful it would, If only mortals understood the true meaning of life and started enjoying the little time they have and stops fighting for something they would never able to completely acquire. URGH! WHAT IS THAT? " But his rest was disturbed when he saw a bright light coming from a certain country. he looks on his side towards a transparent window, He sees a warning, showing an abnormal disappearance of mortals { WARNING - ABNORMALITY DETECTED } AN ABNORMAL SUDDEN DROP IN MORTAL''S POPULATION WAS DETECTED DROP COUNT:- POPULATION OF MORTALS WAS DROPPED BY 10,320. CAUSE:- UNABLE TO IDENTIFY DEATH COUNTS - 105 IN A SECOND- STATUS OF DEATH COUNTS:- NORMAL CONCLUSION:- 10,320 MORTALS DISAPPEARED.

[YES] [NO] "uh? they disappeared but not died?! What''s that supposed to mean?! Is that some sort of magic, to make people disappear? " The Guardian of Earth was dumbfounded when he saw this warning '' No, Earth doesn''t have magic in the first place! What I should do? if I report this to master, He would be furious to learn of his servant being unable to govern the world properly! '' Guardians looks at the earth for a moment and ''I will handle it by myself, I should go to see what''s going on. '' makes his decision. The Guardian of Earth neither chose to report the situation to his superior or to push to the case for further investigation to a higher level system and flew towards the place, Where he saw that bright coming. { WARNING - ABNORMALITY DETECTED } AN ABNORMAL SUDDEN DROP IN MORTAL''S POPULATION WAS DETECTED DROP COUNT:- POPULATION OF MORTALS WAS DROPPED BY 10,320.

[YES] [NO] The case was still open, as well as the transparent window but then it started to fade as the guardian started to gain distance between him and the transparent window. NO RESPONSE DETECTED FROM THE GUARDIAN- AS THE DEFAULT PROTOCOL, REPORTING THE CASE TO HIGHER LEVEL SYSTEM. A new window appeared, replacing the old but The Guardian had already left and there was no one else to see it.

SYSTEM HAS REACHED CONCLUSION:- PLEASE CONTACT A GOD, FOR THE TIME BEING, THE CASE HAS BEEN CLOSED. {Present} Mikhail was standing before a Guardian, The Guardian of the earth was furious to see the world he governs to be disturbed by an unknown person ''Who is he? How can he fly in the sky without even showing even a little sign of aura of a spiritual being! He has to be the person who caused that abnormality in mortal''s population! '' "Mortals? Since when did spiritual beings such as guardians started to care about mere mortals huh? "said Mikhail ''Well, I was about to go and meet this guardian regarding the disappearance of mortals but he started to search for the cause first instead, What a nice guardian he is. '' "You... Be gone! Unknown being. " Guardian aims his palm towards Mikhail " {FLAMES} and Burn in the flames of hell! " and flames started to appear from his palm, thrusting towards Mikhail with astonishing speed, burning the forest below them even though they were 20 meters above the ground. "He might be a nice person but-- What an unpleasant personality he has. " Mikhail mumbles. Mikhail raises both of his hands " I demand earth to protect me. " Said Mikhail with both of his hands in the air above his head and The ground started to shake, at the same time the soil of earth started to lift up in the sky, covering Mikhail''s body. Flames from the guardian, Hit the soil and the soil which has covered Mikhail''s body started to fall from the sky as it turned into the liquid from the heat and then shatter on the ground as the liquid was cooled down in the middle of the air and turned into glass. ''what...? My flames! '' " What kind of magic is that?!! " shouted Guardian when the flames disappeared and there was nothing left of the forest below them but in front of him, There a huge ball of the soil, few parts of that huge ball were shining as the light of the sun reflected from the glass in the ball "Magic? " was the voice Guardian heard coming from inside of the ball and then, The soil started to fall on the ground "That''s not magic, Kid. It is something little mind of yours cannot possibly comprehend and in any case, you are gonna die today so, there no need for you to worry about it." Said Mikhail while he emerged from that ball made from the soil " So, you are going to kill me? Hahahaha, Are you out of your mi.. " Guardian of earth started to laugh on the absurdity of Mikhail''s words but then his laugh and confidence started crumbled when he heard Mikhail say " {Time-Dim-- " (Mikhail) ''Time-Dimension!? It can''t be! but again, His magic--- but what if, That was not the magic but actually a direct... Command to The System? No! that''s something even gods cannot do but only servants or the true--- What I''ve done!" Mikhail had yet to complete his sentence but The Guardian of earth had already reached a conclusion in his mind behind Mikhail''s power. ''But, If that''s true! I am doomed! There is no way I can go against the absolute power of system '' "Hey! wa...? " Guardian was about to ask for forgiveness but when he looked at Mikhail, Mikhail seemed to lost in thoughts " {Time-Dimens....} Aha, wait-- I can''t use it since master told me not to use it without his permission. Now what? I can kill him with my sword but its gonna smell from the blood and I don''t want that, Purpose of my sword is only to sly gods since they don''t actually bleed unlike Guardians or such-- " Mikhail mumbles to himself "What is he doing? " Guardians ask himself While Mikhail was mumbling to himself, He looks at Guardian and see Guardian standing still, doing nothing but staring at Mikhail ''Wait, why is just standing there?'' Guardian was standing still, Looking at Mikhail but then "I had enough! There is no way in hell you are a servant of True God. Even If I have risk the whole planet, I will get rid of you no matter what! {Blazing Asteroid} " said Guardian while he raised one of his hand in the sky and suddenly the whole sky turned into yellow-red and a huge rough-round shadow emerged in the sky Mikhail looks at the sky, " So, you are using a weapon extinction-- How bold of you guardian to go so far. " said Mikhail to the guardian who had just used a weapon that could wipe out almost 70% of life from the earth, Including humans. While still extending one of his hand in the sky, Guardians answers to Mikhail "It is you, Who force me to do this! I know, you are not someone who could be dealt with easily-- I know that very well so, It doesn''t matter If I have sacrifices mortals in order to get rid of you! You are an abomination! " Mikhail had heard the words Guardian spoke clear and loud ''So, I am an Abomination uh? In any case, If this Asteroid hits the earth, almost 99% of mortals will be wiped out Though I really don''t care about mortals The problem is Master- Well, Gotta do something. '' Mikhail shows no sympathy towards humans but still cares for Aoi and to protect Aoi " {Time Distortion}" When Mikhail uses a magic called Time Distortion, space around Mikhail suddenly becomes glossy-- Guardian could see it happening "Wh--What are you doing! " shouts Guardian, He didn''t know what Mikhail was doing but He had realized it was something he couldn''t understand and probably never heard of before. Mikhail continues casting one more spell "It''s been a long time since I used this one-- {Time-Leap} " The moment Mikhail spoke words Time-Leaf, He disappeared in thin air-- "Wher--! " and Guardian was about to shout in more confusion but suddenly he was struck by a massive shock-wave which forced him to close his eyes, The moment he opened his eyes back and looked up in the sky, He could see Mikhail floating in the air, Mikhail''s clothes were burning and his wings were spared wide in the open and there was no trace of the asteroid "Phew, That was easy-- Though My clothes sure got burnt by the heat-- Aha, Even though I was careful to use Time Distortion to avoid any damage from Time leap, well, I guess- Time Leap is too much even for me. " Mikhail slowly descend, towards the guardian and when he looks at the Guardian, Guardian''s mouth was wide open in shock and he kept on repeating "What-what-what-what " ''He lost it, didn''t he? '' Mikhail thought to himself Mikhail was half naked now, Few parts of his clothes were still burning "Oi, Guardian! What are you gonna do now? " said Mikhail while started to tap on Guardian''s shoulder. After repeating what-what-what several times guardian answered to Mikhail "Yea, What I am gonna do now? How could this be! There is no way someone can smash my asteroid to bits and that asteroid was enchanted by magic, There is no way someone of below a god can possibly destroy it but you did anyway, Just who in the hell are you!? " " Who I am? Didn''t you guess it already? I am but a mere servant of--Wait, What was-- " Mikhail said but suddenly stopped when He was interrupted SYSTEM - WARNING, SYSTEM DECLARES CURRENT SITUATION OF TRUE GOD:- LIFE THREATENING. Guardians look at Mikhail''s face, just a few seconds ago- Mikhail seemed to be having fun but now suddenly "Huh? What''s w--- " Guardian could see Mikhail''s eyes wide open and the anger on his face clearly ''If this--Why, I cannot even put a single word out of the mouth in front him... What the hell is happening to him? It feels as if he gonna destroy the heavens along with everything that exists. '' SYSTEM - SYSTEM HAS ACTIVATED SELF-DEFENCE MODE, IT IS ADVISED TO SERVANTS OF THE TRUE GOD TO AID THE TRUE GOD IN HIS CURRENT SITUATION Mikhail''s wings suddenly started to shine much more brightly compared to before " {Time-Dimension} " said Mikhail with a calm voice yet it felt as if the whole world had collapsed and turned into hell when he spoke. He uses Time-dimension he was banned from and He suddenly disappears in front of Guardian''s eyes but it was not the same as before, This time, There were no shock-waves of any sort, He just disappears. When Guardian looks up in the sky, to see if there was a trail left by Mikhail but what He saw was a huge beam thrusting towards space, bursting through the troposphere- That beam made whole planet shine like a sun for moments "What in the world is happening...? " When The Guardian was already confused beyond words a transparent warning window appears in front of him { WARNING - PROTECTING LAYERS OF PLANET B#76 HAS BEEN DESTROYED BY UNKNOWN MEANS } The moment that warning appeared, Guardian had realized-- ''Oh Dear God, This whole world, It is being destroyed! '' The layers appeared in the warning were layers which protects a planet from outer space but now that they were destroyed REAMING TIME BEFORE THE PLANET B#76 COLLAPSE - 3 DAYS There was nothing that Guardian could do, This level of danger was something he had neverencountered before but that was not the end of it When Guardian was standing still, still confused " 3 Days-- How in the world I am supposed to fix all of this is just mere 3 days? even if I do fix protecting layers, by the time I am done--Almost everything will be gone! " but then, The ground he was standing on, started shake violently "What now!?" and then, suddenly- the ground fell 3 meters down as if the earth was pushed down by 3 meters from its axis "WHO IN THE WORLD CAUSING THIS! " REAMING TIME BEFORE THE PLANET B#76 COLLAPSE - 2 HOURS "2 Hours??! " Guardians falls on his knees "This the end... " ; End of Chapter Chapter : 7.1 - The World Outside My/Your Small Box. Part - 1 {Classroom: 3-A} Following a few minutes of nap which was disturbed by noises, which were coming outside of the school. While being curious, I walked to the window to look outside and I was surprised to see a lot of Police cars and people standing in front of the school gate. "what''s going on?" I asked myself, and the thought of people suddenly disappearing in front of their families and friends can lead to the confusion didn''t cross my mind, at that time. but shortly after, I realized People who''re standing outside, they were here to check up on their siblings who attend this school since people did disappear and all. Police must be here in case if something shady was going on. and since they didn''t see anyone walking on the school ground, they are trying to be cautious of this{School Buidling} place. Or Maybe I was overexaggerating- "......? " There was two police officer who decided to enter the school premises and started walking towards the main building, The building I was in. '' How can I deal with this? '' I looked around myself but there was nothing that I could hide in, You often see people hiding under the benches but that would only make me look suspicious and obviously they can see clearly if someone is hiding under the bench or not. They might shoot me if they realized I was the one behind what had occurred and surely, I was calm. Their footsteps started to get louder as they approached the room I was in. I could hear them Checking every classroom and talking-- "Where did all students go? This whole school is empty. " said one of those police officer "God, What is happening in the world? People suddenly started to disappear without a trace and now, This school. " said the 2nd police officer. When they were done checking almost all of the classes, Both of Police officers were standing in front of my classroom- One of them slowly opened the door and saw me standing close the window "Oi-- There is someone! " He called out to his companion and then started to ask me questions "Hey, Kid. Are you okay? What happened at this school? Do you know something? " I looked towards the police officer face all the while being speechless since I was not able to make up an answer or story to tell them but Maybe I looked otherwise with my emotionless face since the police officer, when he saw my face "wh.. what the-- " as soon as he saw my face, He turned back and started to run. The other police officer was just behind and he saw his companion running away " Hey! where are you goi..n..g" at first he called out to his companion but when he looked at me-- "Kid! get down!! " He shouted and then draws his gun out and aimed at me. I crouched when I heard him say ''get down'' and He fired multiple shots towards me, Those bullets went buzzing above my head. Suddenly, The sound of bullets disappeared while my head hit the wall behind me- one of those bullets struck my head While I was crouching down. It was a moment of sudden realization when I felt something hit my head so hard that the kinetic energy from the bullet pushed my head back and my head hit the wall behind me. I felt my bones breaking, The first crack I felt was on my forehead, the bone shattered to bits. I felt those bits from bone piercing through my brain and hitting back of my skull-- I fell down on the ground. Though I was still alive with half of my brain. The feeling of getting shot in the head was not that bad since there was no pain. But the experience I gained from it was something else, I sensed everything As if I was out of my body and seeing everything with x-ray vision of my head... I was alive but only for mere seconds, I died soon after my consciousness faded away in the dark. The second thought that came to my mind was ''How many time have I died by now? This starting to feel like a game.'' and opened my eyes once again when I came back to, from the land of death as if nothing had happened. When I opened my eyes, I was still lying on the ground and there was blood all over the place, the smell was disgusting enough to kill me again since the blood on the floor was not the only mine, It was mixed with someone else''s blood. " I am seriously getting tired of dying again and again-- " I mumbled, while I stood up on my feet and looked towards the gate of the classroom, The police officer from before was--"He is missing half of his body..." The police officer was lying on the ground in front of me near the door and half of his body was missing. the blood which I felt disgusted from was probably from this guy. "I happened to him since he was stupidly to try, to shot me. His aim was the worst. " a voice, I heard from behind my back towards the windows of the classroom. when I looked towards the direction of the voice, There was someone floating in the air "Adger...? " The person who was floating before me in the classroom was someone I knew, from a dream. "Hmm-- So, you know me? I wonder how. " so, He said-- Adger. Adger is someone who looks awfully lot like me but his clothing is different from me, He wears a dark (Black) trench-like coat and the buttons of the coat aren''t done properly. From what I heard, He is God of death who tried to kill me and because of that, He was imprisoned in the prison of gods by Mikhail. ''why he is here...'' So, I thought in my mind but-- "Life is not mine and the death is not yours. for once, I look upon the life and for once, you look upon the death- That was the pact we were tied by, and that''s the pact you broke. forcing me to appear before you as I am the God of Death, Adger Kichiro. Why I am able to hear your voice, Why I am feeling your emotions and why I feel so ashamed while I try to kill you. these are the questions that need to be answered. " Said Adger while he slowly floats towards me. with a---The expression on his face was hard to describe by the words, For the time I felt as if He was sad and in next moment, I felt anger from him-- But most importantly He looked confused. And the words he just spoke, '' Confusing '' but right now, That''s was not important, cause Adger was clearly emitting his killing intent and why is his last name similar to mine? "What do you plan to do? Adger. " I asked him directly because He was not even trying to hide the fact that he gonna kill me. Even though his action will result in nothing and are futile since I cannot completely die but still, I didn''t want to feel the pain of dying. I already had enough of dying again and again. He slowly put one of his hand on my face and said "What do I plan to do, you ask? This the question I actually wants to ask you, What do you plan to do from gaining immortality? How did you manage to achieve it, is something beyond my comprehension but, You''ve become a taboo now. " In the midst of his words, I heard something-- SYSTEM - KILLING INTENT FROM INDIVIDUAL NAMED ADGER, THE GOD OF DEATH, EXCEDED THE MAXIMUM LIMIT. DANGER DETECTED. " You don''t belong in this world anymore, You have already died." SYSTEM - SYSTEM DECLARING THE CURRENT SITUATION OF AOI KICHIRO, THE TRUE GOD- LIFE-THREATENING. huh? life-threatening.. but I can not die SYSTEM - NO RESPONSE-- PROCEEDING WITH DECLARATION. SYSTEM - WARNING, SYSTEM DECLARES CURRENT SITUATION OF TRUE GOD:- LIFE-THREATENING. " Why are you still here? How are you still here-- " All the while Adger was speaking, I kept the hearing The System in the middle of his words and my focus kept on diverting towards the system''s words. no matter how hard I tried to listen to Adger''s words, I couldn''t concentrate on Adger at all as if someone had set the priority of the system far more higher than Adger to my mind. and I couldn''t understand how my life was in actual danger but suddenly I remembered something Mikhail had mentioned before " You can die, Master. But not by any normal means, Only a god or A Pure Spiritual being can kill you. " were the words Mikhail once said. And Adger, He is a God of Death--- He is a God. ''Does--- Does that mean, I am gonna die? '' though I wanted to die from the start but-- for some reason, ''No! I can''t! not now! '' I was scared of death. I took a few steps back, to distance myself from Adger''s hands, In fear of my life. SYSTEM - DETECTED CURRENT STATE OF TRUE GOD, UNSUITED FOR COMBAT. "Uh oh, What I could be sensing right now? You are suddenly scared--- Interesting. " Said Adger while he had a smile on his face-- Even though I couldn''t show the expression on my face but He still, He still realized I was scared. "Just a few seconds ago, It was like as if you had left all the fear behind and stood in front of me, A god of death as if there was not a single shred of emotion in you, just as your face," said Ager as he approached me with a grin on his face that he gained from my fear. He grabbed me from my throat, lifted me in the air with his one single hand "Even if you have gained immortality by unknown means-- You can die by my hands. You can die by the hands of God who rules over the death-- " I started to struggle to breathe and he kept on tightening his grip on my throat. I had thought of this person, who was now trying to kill me as an Allie for some reasons--- Maybe because He gave me strength to face people whom I was scared of, but now that same person was the reason for my fear-- The courage he gave me vanished as if it never existed in first place. "Fre-a-king... Ir-nic.. is...n''t.. ?" were the broken words I spoke. My words were broken just like the time before I met Mikhail. I was never able to raise my voice in front of people but now that I was finally able to, I am dying. "You are becoming what you once were, You are going where you should belong. I am happy, you should be too," said Adger As Adger''s hand on my neck started to shine in bright light and I started to lose my consciousness. my vision started to fill with darkness. If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation. ''Happy he--'' " sa... " "Finally, unconscious- huh? Now, To make sure you never back-- " Said Adger as he loses a little of his grip from Aoi''s neck and extends his other hand over Aoi''s head and grabs it, with the intention of crushing Aoi''s head but-- SYSTEM - INITIATING SELF-DEFENSE MODE. Both of Adger''s hands which were touching Aoi''s head and neck-- were electrocuted as a flash of bright lightning emerged from Aoi''s body. and Adger was thrown back from the shock which was caused by lightning. SYSTEM - SELF-DEFENSE MODE, ACTIVATED. "uh? What just happen... " Adger looks upon Aoi, Aoi was floating in the air and there was a huge blue circle behind his back and on that circle, There was something written around the circle in an unknown language, covering circle''s outer layers. It was something that Adger had never seen before, He stood still in a surprise when he suddenly heard a voice SYSTEM - WARNING TO THE GOD OF DEATH, ADGER KICHIRO-- At first, The voice sounded a computer-synthesized and Adger could only hear bits of it but "You''ve put my, our Master in harm and endangered his life but you still have a chance, Be gone or you will be considered as a threat. " These following words seemed to be spoken by a young lady and Adger heard these words loud and clear unlike System''s voice that he couldn''t hear. Adger stood up on his feet. He looks at his hands ''What is this--No mortals should have an ability to hurt a God like me but still, My hands are-- '', His hands were burned to the point where they had turned black and you could see his bones '' who is this person? '' but as he thought about it, his skin started to turn back to normal "Who are you? I cannot sense any sort of living being in the radius of 10 meters but still, I can hear the voice-- Who are you? " The voice replied to Adger "I am, who protects Master and You are-- " Said the voice " You are not acting the way you should, You are supposed to protect Master just like me but-- You are defying his great existence and because of that, I {was} troubled-- What I should do? Should I kill you in order to protect master or should I give you a chance to redeem yourself- I choose the second. Now you know, So, Begone. " As voice (The System) said that to Adger, While Aoi''s body was floating in the air with a huge circle his back- Their position was suddenly illuminated by a bright light. That was a searchlight, An Helicopter was hovering outside of the building while illuminating the classroom with its searchlight-- a loud voice emerged from The Helicopter as Adger glanced at the helicopter " Terrorist! You have been surrounded, There is no way for you to run! Surrender now or we will have to use force to bring you down. "--- Adger keep on staring at the helicopter for a few seconds but then, He lifts his right hand and touches his forehead " And they worship us, Gods? How stupid. nuisance----" Adger extends his right hand towards The Helicopter. and murmurs " { Aasherier} "-- Meanwhile Inside The Helicopter, Pilot detects multiples malfunction in their helicopter and {Beep-Beep-Beep} Beeping sound start to replace the sound of rotating blades above their heads. "What--What is happening!? Pilot!" a Minigun operator, on the left side of the helicopter shouts in his mic as The Helicopter starts to quickly lose its altitude. There was multiple electronics failure in the Helicopter, causing it to crash. Adger Looks back at Aoi "So, you are the one who protects this guy? Shall I test I-- ARGG! " As Adger was about to finish his sentence, He suddenly fell on his knees. Even though There was nothing holding him down, Adger couldn''t stand back on his feet. "It was my mistake that I gave you a chance, Adger Kichiro, The God of Death." Said the voice. Adger was struggling to stand back up on his feet but the unknown force kept on increasing as he tried to stand back up on his feet ''How could this be!!? I, A God? Kneeling down in front of a mortal! '' As Adger was struggling to stand up, Something in front of Aoi started to emerge, Something started to materialize. Adger was barely able to glance at it but He saw, '' A gi...rl? '' There was no form of clothing on her, Her skin was black, just like her long hairs. She had wrapped herself Around the unconscious body of Aoi. When Adger saw her, He realized that it was not Aoi who forced him to kneel but it was her! The girl wasn''t looking at Adger at all, She was too busy admiring Aoi and His human form-- While still admiring Aoi, She spoke " Mortals, Gods-- Any sort of thing does not come near to Master''s Absolute power. Adger, The God of Death-- You are but a grain of sand compared to Master. " As she said that, ''----Grain of sand? '' A bright lighting struck down on Adger-- As he screamed in agony "AGHHHHHHH!!! " While Adger was screaming in agony, She spoke again " I had given you a chance but you---Rejected it in the arrogance of being a God, You should''ve known better that there beings above gods and even True God. I am one of those but still, I serve under our Master, Aoi. " She finally looks towards Adger from Aoi''s shoulder while still hugging Aoi tightly. There was nothing pushing down Adger but still, He was on knees- On the closer look, You could see His eyes had turned black and his lips had cracked. Adger''s skin had turned it black and It was not turning back to normal unlike before but He was alive. "God of death, He cannot die since he himself represents death. " Said the girl. Adger tried to look towards the girl but he barely had the strength to lift up his head, While he kept his head down, looking at the floor-- He said " wh..o are.. yo... " His words were broken just like Aoi''s. and Before he could say anything else-- He was frozen in time, just like everything else around him. The smoke caused by the lighting froze, as well as the air and outside world. Even the girl who forced a God, who rules death to kneel before her, was frozen in the time. This was a demonstration of Absolute power and the one who did it was no one other than- "My... Dear Master. I let you get hurt. How unforgiving. " Mikhail, Former King of Angel who had crossed multiple timelines and universes to save his master, Aoi Kihciro. As soon as Mikhail enters the Classroom from an open window, He walks towards Adger-- When reached Adger, He looks behind him, glances at Aoi and sees a young lady, who had wrapped herself around Aoi-- He looks back At Adger, and lift one of his legs up in the air and smash it on Adger''s head but nothing happens thus Mikhail does it same thing again and again- -He kept on doing it for 10 minutes but still, nothing happened. Mikhail takes a step back, to distance himself a little from Adger and says " {Time-Dimension} " as soon as he speaks those words, an earthquake-like shock hits the whole planet, making Earth move few meters in space and Adger descents towards the Earth''s core at an unimaginable speed. both of these were caused by Mikhail''s multiples kicks on Adger''s head. The young lady was finally able to move once again and She sees Mikhail, Standing near the place where once Adger was kneeling down-- As Mikhail turns over, Young lady speaks " Mikhal, What took you so long? " -- Mikhail walks towards Young lady as he said " Get your dirty hands off Master or it will be you next! " "You were unable to protect Master and now, You are saying that? " She replied with a disgusted look on her face, that you could hardly see because of her dark(black) skin tone. When Mikhail hear her say that He snaps and Grabs the young lady from her neck and drags her down on the ground -- All the while, She was still holding in the air but the circle behind Aoi suddenly disappeared when Mikhail grabbed her from her neck. "You... Bitch. Master is suffering from such horrible pain, isn''t that because of you!? If you hadn''t granted him his wish, He would''ve been fine with all of us! This is all happening only because you granted him such a stupid wish! Now even his servants are after his life!! You stripped him off, His title, His position of True God, His wisdom, Courage, and His emotions! You took away everything from him he had and now you talking about protection!?? " Mikhail keeps increasing, strengthing his grip on the young lady''s neck while he said that. But She didn''t seem to struggle at all, It was as if you could chop her head off and yet still, she won''t feel a thing! Because of this, Mikhail was more pissed. " You are but a thing. So, just like every other ''thing'', don''t interfere in a matter of living or spiritual beings. " as Mikhail said that, He let the young lady''s neck go and grabbed Aoi''s unconscious body from young lady''s hands. As she separated from Aoi, Her body started to disappear and her expression started to change. The more Mikhail forced them to separate, the more she started to lose her form with a sad expression on her face. The only reason she exists is to serve her master and now she was being separated from him yet she couldn''t do anything and was being erased once again ''please.... don''t'' were the words she was about to speak but remained in her mind-- When finally both of them were completely separated, Her tears fell on the ground as she disappeared in nothingness and System finally announced SYSTEM - THREAT HAS BEEN ELIMINATED. SELF-DEFENSE MODE, DEACTIVATED As Mikhail now held Aoi on his hands, He said " Even her tears are but a... FUCK YOU BITCH. Don''t even show yourself in front of us, ever again. " and showed a middle finger, where she once was floating. The anger Mikhail felt at that time was beyond words, As such he even said those words. But it was not the end since Aoi had yet to open his eyes again. He was dead and this time, He was not coming back from the land of the dead, at least not alone. ; End of Chapter Chapter : 8 - The World Outside My/Your Small Box. Part - 2 I finally gave up. I forgot what happened before I found myself here but I am sure, It must have been something serious. "absolutely nothing but darkness, everywhere." I''d talk to myself sometimes to avoid becoming crazy and this is one of those times. "What will I do, When I get out of here? " Is a question, I always ask myself But the answer, With time, is becoming fuzzy. I have forgotten everything. I used to answer this question while being enthusiastic and happy. And that gave me hope but not anymore. I wonder, What kind of answer I''d answer? "What is there to do? I don''t have any idea." "What was my name? I can''t remember " "Where is this place? " There are words in my mind such as Darkness, Light, good, evil, height, direction, etc but I only know, how to use a few of them. How do you use the word ''direction'' anyways? What is evil? There is nothing here to compare to! how those people used to compare them?! "People." Thus I added a new word that I didn''t know the meaning of, in my diary. I''d often use these words on instinct and later, try to remember the meaning of them. It was easy for the word ''darkness'' since I am all surrounded by it. But other words took a while to grasp their meanings. This is how everything was going. Maybe next time we meet, I''ll figure outsomethingby that time. For now, Let''s sleep. ........ ...... ... "Who''s this crazy person?" No matter how I look at him, from which angle I look at him, he seems beyond crazy to me. He is surrounded by thousands of stars but yet, he speaks as if he sees nothing. He is using those words but yet, he says he doesn''t know the meaning of them. And to top that, he is naked----This is crazy. "Master, that''s is you. " says the lady, who stands beside me in the space floating around. "No! no, no, no! that''s not me, I can''t be... I am not gonna believe your words, no matter how you put them." "In any case, Let''s move on Master." She said as she started to float away I am Aoi Kichiro. A while ago, an angel came and told me, You are a god and a lot of things happened after that, like how I died several times. And the last time I died for real by the hands of a God called ''God of Death'' and then, I found myself in front of this lady. She appears to be, 18-year-old. There is something on her head, but I am not sure what I should call it (a crown?). Her eyes are bright white, as well as skin tone and on top of that, She is wearing some sort of white dress. She could blind someone if one doesn''t use sunglasses. She seems a good person, but yea seems like she one of Mikhail''s companion, I can tell since she''s using; ''Master'' to refers to me. When she saw me appearing in front of her, She suddenly took one of my hands and started dragging me around to watch this person. I don''t know, What she intends to gain by forcing me to watch this guy but-- ''This is a pain in the ass..'' "Master... " she stopped in front of me "Look-- You are scratching your butt," she said, with sparkling eyes. Her eyes alone can blind someone but these sparkles in her eyes... the balance of power is crumbling in here. "You know---- I had enough of this guy! " "But... Don''t you want to see different types of yourself? " with these words, she used ''puppy eyes'' to attack this time. "Like hell I do! " She is tough. In any case, by her expression alone, I think now that she doesn''t have any bad intentions. "If that is the case... I''ll erase--- " as she was speaking, the guy, she kept on showing to me, starts to disappear. The guy himself didn''t appear to be able to notice his hands and body disappearing. He kept floating in this vast space until he completely Disappeared. " I''ll erase him... " She finished her sentence as the person disappeared. It surprised me. Just when I said, She doesn''t seem to have any bad intention; That''s what she did? "Master... Can I ask you a question? " She says, while she kept looking at the face I was making. "Yes, ask" I answered her. "Why do you seem to be surprised by what I did? " So she asks, but do I even have to answer such a simple question? "Of course, I was surprised. you just killed that guy as if his life meant nothing. " Was my answer to her question, I mean who wouldn''t be surprised? "if that so.... master, what about those 10,320 mortals you stripped existence of? " she asked with a dull expression on her face. That question took away all of her expressions that I saw until now and so well as mine, I stood in a shock in front of her. "huh? " without any answer. "The person you saw is one of those 10,320 mortals, abonanded by the true God. imprisoned in this darkness. The time won''t mean anything to him, He would spend the eternity here. He will remember the feelings he felt in the life he lived and then, he will forget them and then the cycle will continue. " As I stood there, listening to her words. I started to feel things that I had almost forgotten. I started to remember; Why I was here, what brought me here and for what reasons, I did what I did. Yes, I remember now. If the person, whom I stripped the existence of, is suffering--- Then. "So, let the cycle continue. " That''s what I want in the first place, I want them to suffer. The only reason I felt pity fortheperson who disappeared was that I didn''t realize, who I am. I am but an apathetic person, who was killed, again and again by the gods and mortals. The pain that I felt, suffering that I''ve gone through is what I remembered. I still can remember the time, when I begged for my life in front of a classmate but he didn''t even...There was no mercy in his eyes. The god, who watched from afar but never done anything. To me, Mortals, gods are all alike. And they don''t deserve any mercy from the person they torturedso much-- they don''t deserve mercy from me since they never pitied me. "I see... but master... You are crying." I thought; What is she even talking about? The person who cannot even show his emotions, is crying? "uh? " but when I touched my face, I could feel the water on my hand that came out of my eyes, for the first time in my life. "wh..what? Why I am... ?" "Master... You still don''t realize " She says as she walks to me " You are no longer expressionless." She begins to wipe my tears. When I almost fell on my knees in surprise that my expression finally returned to me, she grabbed me. "Master, You still in your mortal form. So... Please, don''t push yourself by doing such things. Don''t forget, you might not able to show emotions but you still feel those emotions." Words of her might not have been clear but I know what she meant. As I stood on my two feet again and let myself free from her hands, I said to her " I am not yet a god or a being who can ignore the guilt of erasing those mortals, Is what are you trying to say?" "....." She didn''t answer to my words and her silence... "Or are you trying to tell me, what I did was wrong and I am just a narrow-minded person who cannot see the world outside this small box of mine, called a brain? Is that why you have brought me to this vast space of the universe? If that''s what you think, You are completely wrong. " after meeting Mikhail, This was the first time when I had to explain my feelings with words. for some reason, In the last few days, I got used to not explaining why I was doing what I was doing. " I don''t know when my expression returned to me but, I''ll let you know, the tears you see in my eyes are not for these humans or what you call; Mortals. These tears are pouring out of my eyes for myself. I pity myself, I pity the person I used to be. How I felt at that time, Hopeless, not even being able to lift my hands to protect myself. To be targeted by these so-called humans just cause I couldn''t show expressions? They thought I didn''t feel anything and caused me grief. You thought I would just let them go? Who do you think I am? I am not a hero or anything. I am Aoi Kichiro, who knows the real depth of despair. As Mikhail said before, They should glad that I just made them disappear from existence and did not torture them. They should be glad they can still feel the happiness through their memories and forget the feelings that might cause them to suffer. " Only I know, What I''ve been through. She listened to my words and didn''t interrupt me when I expressed the extent of hate I feel towards humans and gods. And when I finished talking, her expression didn''t change. With that, I came to realize; she is like a doll. Who''s only capable of expression that was integrated into her. The smile she showed on her face until was probably facade, as well as the excitement she felt, watching me appear in front of her. Thus I came to understand the common personality and characteristic of a "You are a god, no?" "Yes. I am. God of Nature." These gods are nothing but empty shells. "So, tell me what made you care about those mortals? " "Your action caused the planet B#76 to collapse. Mikhail has destroyed the earth while he tried to save you from God of death, Adger Kichiro. Dear True God, My Father, and Master, Since you were in the form of a mortal, I thought I could manipulate you but I see, You have changed. You are no longer The True God I knew. As for your question, gods are the creator of humans and the planets. They provide essential energy for us to use so, we care about their well-being but not individually, but as a whole. Now since the plane earth is no longer providing sufficient energy, I am suffering. I wanted you to forgive those mortals and with your permission, I wanted to rebuild the planet with the help of the system" I see so that''s what she wanted from start. And to make me pity the one I killed, she showed me them to me. If I had pity those, she would have told me " If you feel that bad, you can bring them back to life and restore the planet. "The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement. She is a god and this is an opportunity for me to get to know her kind. "If that''s all. Tell me something. I know, gods despise me but why are you different? from the moment I met you, you didn''t try to get rid of me neither showed any hostility towards me, Why is that? " This question might look dumb at first and answer should be obvious but what I want to know, how many reasons there are for her to not try and kill me. "Master... There are several reasons. You are a true god, you cannot completely die and that is something you should''ve had already guessed by now since you already have been killed by Adger Kichiro, a God, but yet, here you are, standing in front me." No, I didn''t know. I thought I was in after-life or something like that. But still, as I said, There is no harm from getting an answer from her even though I can guess the answer. I don''t want to be arrogant, who thinks he knows everything. If I can get answers from her, I''ll get bits of more information thatI am not awareof along with answers. "As for why I don''t show any hostility you. I am a mere god, a child of yours," she says and before continuing, she looks down and for the first time, she shows a sad expression on her face even if that''s a deceptive outward appearance."They have forgotten their creator just like mortals. But for some reason, I cannot do the same. I cannot bring myself to forget the person who created me, I cannot possibly forget you. You are dear to me. I tried to oppose those who wished for you to disappear in nothing-ness that you came from but I failed and in the end, you disappeared as you came to be. But your remnants were still left in me and because of that, I never was able to sit along-side with those who wished for you to disappear. I cannot possibly show hostility towards someone so dear to me, like you. " She said but I wouldn''t believe her words. After all, the planet that she oversees is the one where I was born and never once she tried to help me. and the real reason; she didn''t try to get rid of me is rather simple, as she said before, she requires my permission to restore the earth and if I happen to disappear, Who would give her that permission? uh? Is this young lady think I am that dumb? I walked to her and touched her cheek as I said " I see. So, tell me, what do you think of me? not as someone whom you think of a father, your creator but as a person, as a mortal, and as an oppositive gender " she looks at my hand for a second, which is touching her right cheek and then looks at my face. The light she was emitting that could easily blind someone until now, started to dim "In the brightness I shine in, represent my status as a god. But it fades away in front of you. Showing, you are a being above me. " as she grabbed my right hand with both of hands and took it away from her cheek, she processed to bow in front of me while still holding my hand, in the end, she was kneeling in front of me. kissing my right hand. After that kiss, she continues with her words "My action of submission towards you, reflects my admiration and respect for you. I might have tried to do something that no other servants of your might even think of but I still think of you as my father and creator. I cannot possibly put this fact aside and think of you otherwise. Forgive me. " I stood there in a shock, while she was still on her knees. Even though what I asked her was to know her true intention, I still felt like I got rejected by her in a really strange and misunderstanding way. Why''d she apologize!!? In any case, I am starting to doubt the idea of '' being her a doll''. She is suddenly showing so many expressions- I cannot tell anymore. These beings, gods are hard to comprehend, that''s for sure. There are so many unknown factors currently I am facing, I am not sure what I should do or not and what I should believe or not. Until now, I was trying to throw her off-guard by asking different kinds of stuff or suddenly changing subjects but---It doesn''t seem to be working. And to be honest, I don''t want her to be the one asking questions. I rather not give her any information regarding myself or anyone close to me. She might try to blackmail me by kidnaping someone clo....'' uh? What she said...'' While she still on her knees, I asked "What did you say about the planet? " "Master... if you are referring to the planet B#76, known as Earth. Earth no longer exists. It was destroyed by your servant, Mikhail. " " I see. Can you stand up and tell me, what kind of permission you need from me to restore the planet and its residence" I said to her and she stood up on her feet gracefully. She replied to my words with the question "Master... perhaps, are you worried about them? "She asked while looking at me with a straight face. And I knew, whom she was referring to, they were my parents. those who gave birth to me. it doesn''t matter what kind of person I''ve become, even if some god bow before me, no matter at which height I stand, I am a son and when no one accepted me for who I was, they did. I am indebted to those two. They are only humans in the entire universe I care about and love. "Is it strange of me to worry about them? " I replied to her question. "Not at all...Master. I worry about you, even when I am so insignificant compared to you. So, I do understand. " she answered with that. and for some reason, I finally started to understand where she was coming from, and how she saw me. And with that, I want to know, something. "What is your name? The God of Nature. " To this question of mine, she simply replied, "I don''t have a name. You may refer to me by my title, God of nature" and I came to know, gods don''t possess names. Or maybe, she was a special case. "Since you called me Master, I am gonna assume you intend to follow me. Therefore, I will name you Rebel. You will rebel against all other beings for me. When those gods call you a rebel, they are mentioning you by your name, nothing else. You won''t feel anything. " She knows a lot about me now and if she accepts the name I gave her, she''ll be someone under my command and having nature under your command is not a bad idea, is it now? [It is as sir Mikhail had predicated...] "I thank you... Master. I shall accept your name." Were words she spoke and answered my demand with. When I was about to speak and finally, asks how to restore the planet earth. SystemAnnounced SYSTEM:- ANNOUNCEMENT; GOD OF NATURE WAS NAMED REBEL BY THE TRUE GOD, AOI KCHIRO. ANNOUNCEMENT COMPLETED "System? Why would the system announce this?" I thought and asked myself but also, spoke out loud. "Master... to let other gods know, now I belong to you.
