Prologue: Annihilation

Her eyes were a beautiful azure color, like jewels.

She gradually loses her light and becomes hollow.

Dust smoke dances, blocking the view. My ears are ringing and I can't hear anything.

In the silence, various objects were dancing slowly in the air, as if in slow motion.

No, to be exact, it was blown away.

Rocks and pieces of wood, destroyed swords and armor, pieces of flesh that appear to be parts of horses and people, limbs and heads...

Her beautiful azure eyes reflected a cruel tragedy.

Standing there is "Rayria", a beautiful girl with snow-white hair, transparent, pale white skin, and slightly pointed ears.

Her beautiful snow-white hair has a hint of blue on the inside and is long enough to frame her face.

Her Rayria's eyes are blank and her vision is blurry. She is barely standing, but her consciousness is fading. She wasn't sure exactly what had happened.

However, less time has actually passed than she feels. Everything around me appears to move slowly, as if time is about to stop.

The ringing in my ears continues. Foaming blood gushes from her mouth.

Theo, Rayria's younger brother-in-law, was lying on the ground a few meters away.

In his fading consciousness, Theo witnessed the large air hole in Rayria's abdomen.

Her abdomen has been gouged out. Her ribs were exposed, with pieces of shredded flesh hanging down. Her entire brace was blown away, revealing not only her ribs but also her spine, and it looked like her heart was about to drop. Her wound is burned and seems to be bleeding less.

This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

Just a few seconds ago, I saw multiple star-like lights in the sky. In a moment, I was blown away by the blast.

Theo continues to stare at Rayria as he collapses. Her vision gradually becomes blurred and she loses consciousness.

Although it was a momentary light, Rayria instantly sensed the threat, deployed her multi-layered magical barrier, and strengthened her vital points with her own "Magia Aura". However, the flash showed no mercy. It pierced through her torso.

It took only a few tenths of a second for a hole to open in Rayria's abdomen and for her to fall to her knees.

Thump thump... thump...

Her exposed heart beats faintly.

The lost organs are irrecoverable, even with healing magic.

Rayria muttered in her mind.

"So...I (Ore*) die in this world too..."

(*"Ore" = A pronoun specifically used by men in Japanese when saying "I/me")

Her spirit was not that of a girl.

She is a 28-year-old Japanese young man named Kazuchika Takemi.

"I see...this is how time passes slowly when you're about to die..."

While thinking about these things within a fraction of a second, as her life was about to end and her consciousness was fading, the memory of the day Takemi's spirit possessed this body was evoked.
