《Two Skies》 Arrival in a new world ''Why am I still breathing?'' ''I should be dead by now. What happened?'' Eldric is covered in a bright white light. The light is so bright that he felt like he could see even though his eyes are closed. It is so vast that he forgot he had a body. It made him feel like a soul that can freely move to anywhere. ''What is this light? Am I perhaps in the middle of reincarnation? Or is this what the afterlife feels like?'' He pondered about the predicament he is in. Suddenly he felt his body slowly losing weight. Most of the people worry in a situation like this, but not Eldric. This weightlessness... He wanted to fly like a bird without any restraints. Fly so high to see the world under him. Fly so high to reach above the sun. Fly so damn high to be unreachable by the world. But he couldn''t move his body no matter how hard he tried. He felt like he was tied up using an unbreakable alloy. Suddenly he felt like his soul was being extracted from his body. Yet he is still not showing worry in the slightest. He doesn''t know if this is the afterlife or not. He wasn''t sure if he would be reincarnated. But he is sure of one thing. He is feeling excitement. He doesn''t know where that feeling came from, but this feeling is making his heart beat faster and faster. He felt like he could do any impossible adventure. He felt like he could conquer the world. He really felt like he could defeat the god that made him commit suicide. A video started playing in his mind out of nowhere. It was some parts of his life he lived till now. It was the memories he once wished he could experience again to feel the same feelings again. He witnessed all the memories that showed up. He should have cried by now if he was the past him. But the current him is indifferent to those. Suddenly the light around him started disappearing. Eldric is eager to solve the mystery he witnessed right now. Soon the light completely dissipated, but what filled Eldric''s eyes is pure darkness. The darkness felt like it was even more vast than the bright light he witnessed a moment ago. It is so dark Eldric couldn''t even see his own body. ''Perhaps blind people always saw such a world.'' His weightlessness disappeared, and he can feel the land beneath him. His tied-up feeling disappearing too. Now he is unrestrained. He is unrestrained in this vast and ethereal darkness. Tap He took his first step. Tap He took his second step. Tap Tap Tap He started quickening his pace. And soon he started running, as he slowly spread his arms. He doesn''t know what will happen from now on, but he won''t care. He doesn''t know if he could experience this freedom again. That''s why he started running crazily. Maybe he wanted to reach the end of this darkness. He is running without a break. Pant pant pant He reached the limit of his stamina as he slowly stopped running. He stood on the spot where he stopped. He fell backwards on the ground with a thudding sound, his arms still spread open. He looked up even though he didn''t know if it was the upside. He wanted to see the night sky. The stars that blinked at him, the moon that cast a radiance on his face, he wanted to see it again. The author''s narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. He slowly closed his eyes as he felt his consciousness fading away slowly. Few moments went by. Eldric slowly opened his eyes; he was still lying down on the land. What met his pupils is the light coming from the ''sun'' and the vibrant blue-colored sky. The weather is not too cold. It is not too hot either. It is warm. The warmth that will make you want to relax naked. The warmth that heals the soul. Eldric slowly stood up from the ground and looked at the surroundings. The ground is filled with bright green grass. There isn''t a single tree within a hundred meters from Eldric. ''I see. I got transmigrated to another world.'' He suddenly felt a mix of emotions. He ended his life on earth to end his tragedy, to end his suffering. But now God wanted him to live in another world? What nonsense. Or maybe he should give it a try? ''Maybe I could live a better life here. Who knows?'' He decided to check the world first after pondering for a while. He checked the sky for some time and started going in the direction the sun is in. After moving forward for nearly a hundred meters, he can see the trees more and more in quantity. After going further, he was fully covered by the trees. The trees are nearly fifty meters tall. The bark of those trees is brown in color, while the leaves are dark green and oval-shaped. The trees are so near that the light coming from the ''sun'' is almost blocked. He wanted to climb the tree to look for any directions, but the branches nearest to the ground are above ten meters. Eldric is barely 1.9 meters in height, and he doesn''t have any equipment to climb. He arrived in this world not long ago. Left without a choice, Eldric started going forward. After going forward for a few hours, Eldric started hearing the sound of water falling from high above the ground. He was a little overjoyed. The more he followed the sound, the more he could hear the sound getting bigger and louder. Few moments passed by. Eldric soon reached the origin of the sound. It was a super high waterfall! It was over 2000 meters in length. What''s more exciting is that Eldric is actually on the top of it. He looked around his surroundings. He is on the bank of the river. The soil is black. The ''sun'' is above his head, which could possibly mean that it is noon time. There is a huge tree on the edge of the waterfall. It is filled with some unknown reddish-brown fruits. It is shaking a little as water slowly flowed down. Eldric looked in the water. He saw his reflection in it. His brown hair that is oscillating due to the wind and pitch-black eyes with a sharp nose in between. His face has some gloominess clinging to it. It was the same appearance he had on Earth. His stomach grumbled. His eyes fell on the tree that is filled with fruits at the edge. He jumped into the river while water splashed all over. He swam towards the tree. He doesn''t know if the fruits are poisonous, but he still wanted to try. While he almost reached the tree, just ten meters away from it, water speed intensified. He couldn''t do anything. It will be an end to him if he really falls from that high. He crashed into the tree, and the tree got uprooted. Eldric felt some pain in his back. No wonder the strong-looking tree is shaking just because of the force from the water. Eldric clung to the tree as he was ready to fall down. Soon the tree''s roots all came out of the ground and slowly slid down the edge. They are falling! The tree is falling horizontally while Eldric tightly hugs it. Eldric looked beneath. This is the view he liked the most. The bird''s-eye view. Suddenly, two strong black ropes coming from above the waterfall tied up the tree on both sides.
