Chapter 96: Yona.

(*Yona’s POV*)

My body moved before my mind even realized what I had done. Thankfully, what I did was protect my daughter from an attack that would have surely killed her. Daughter, huh? Well, I guess that do see Lia as my daughter, even though she is one of Celia’s wives.

The pain was immense, the worst pain that I have ever felt… But I don’t regret it. Celia would be devastated if Lia had died. Ah, now that I think about it, my action was somewhat unnecessary… Lia is immortal, so she would have just gotten injured from the attack. Even still, I don’t regret it.

Even if my mind reacted quick enough, I would have still blocked that attack for Lia. Just because she is immortal doesn’t mean that I should just let her get hurt. If I did, I am sure that Celia would be very upset with me.

Come to think of it, where even am I? Right… I do remember passing out from that attack… How long will I sleep for? I am sure that we won the war, but that doesn’t mean that I can just sleep forever… What will Celia think when she comes back home to see me in a deep sleep that I cannot wake up from?

Creator: “She was very upset at the sight, and Celia swore to find a way to wake you up.” She said with a warm tone.

All of sudden, the empty dark void around me turned into a bright light. Before me was a woman with a blurred face. She was sitting on a chair, drinking tea, and eating sweets from a table that came out of nowhere. Who is she?…

Creator: “Ah, that’s right. You don’t know me yet…” She said with a gasp.

Yona: “Where even is this?” I ask the more important question.

Creator: “This is your mind. From the attack, you ended up in a coma. Celia will bring the cure soon, so why don’t we talk for a bit?” She suggested.

At her words, I slowly made my way to the free seat at the table. Once I sat down, a cup of tea and some sweets appeared in front of me. Now… my main question is who this person is…

Creator: “I am the Creator of this dimension. You see, Celia’s life was just so interesting that I had decided to make this a real dimension.” She explained.

Yona: “A real dimension?” I ask with a raised eyebrow.

Creator: “Yes, before, it was controlled by random higher beings, that used it as a playground. I’ve expelled them for now, but they will be back in the future. Anyway, now that I fully oversee this dimension, a lot of things have changed.” She said.

The woman then went on to explain everything that changed while I was asleep. Apparently, life has gotten harder for my people and my family… And it was this woman’s fault? Isn’t she worried that I might kill her for this?

The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.

Creator: “Currently, Celia is stronger than you, and even she cannot kill me with her current power. I have nothing to fear from any of you. Of course, once you get strong enough, you’re free to try to kill me.” She said with a laugh.

Yona: “Celia seems to have a desire to kill higher beings, so I don’t think that is a laughing matter.” I say with an annoyed tone.

Creator: “She does, but I have a decent relationship with her. Besides, once those that wronged her come back to this dimension, she will surely get her fill once she kills them.” She said with a shrug.

Yona: “You said that Celia has a cure now, right? Then I haven’t been asleep that long.” I say with a thinking pose.

Creator: “You’ve been asleep for months, Yona. I just prevented you from suffering alone in your own head until now.” She denied.

Yona: “…What is the cure?” I ask with a sigh.

Creator: “An Elixir of Life.” She answered.

Celia managed to find one of those? And just so that I could be woken up? I need to make sure that I tell her how much I love her… Of course, when I actually wake up, that is. This woman is odd, though. If she is the Creator, can’t she just make whatever she wants to happen, happen?

Creator: “I can, but where is the fun in that? Creating a dimension, and letting it grow as it sees fit, is the most fun. That is how this dimension became so interesting, so I don’t see anything wrong with my method at all.” She answered.

Yona: “…”

Maybe it’s because of my current situation, but I only just now realized that she could hear what I am thinking… Does she do the same to Celia and the rest? If so, that just pisses me off a lot!… Even worse, we can’t even do anything to stop her…

Creator: “I am not that evasive, don’t worry.” She said with a giggle.

Yona: “I find that hard to believe.” I reply with an angry tone.

Creator: “As you should. Just like those I’ve banished, I also see this dimension as my playground. I am just more hands off than they were.” She said with a nonchalant tone.

Yona: “What even is your goal? You’ve altered so much of this dimension…” I ask with a serious tone.

Creator: “Goal? Well, that is for me to be entertained. Think of this world as my own never ending novel. I did change a lot, but that was mostly just because you infected this world with technology that it shouldn’t have access to yet.” She explained.

Yona: “So it is my fault that you came back to your abandoned creation?” I ask.

Creator: “No. It is mainly Celia’s fault.” She replied.

Yona: “What do you even want with Celia!?” I yell with a serious tone.

In my rage, I even slammed my hands down on the table. To think that my daughter would be viewed as a piece of entertainment for a shitty higher being is enough to make my blood boil. The woman didn’t seem affected by my outburst, though…

Creator: “Ah, it seems my stalling of Celia has come to its end. She will be here to wake you up soon. And with a surprise.” She said with an excited tone.

Yona: “Wait! This isn’t over!” I exclaim before the woman vanishes, and my world once again turns to black.

Before I even had time to think about my situation, the world lit up again. I thought that woman came back for some reason, so I was angry. But I quickly understood that I had woken up. My daughter Celia gave me a tight hug with tears streaming down her face. For me, it was only a few minutes, but my family has missed me for a long time…

Looking around the room, it was just three people here. By my side was an Elixir of Life. It was completely empty… Did it really take the entire bottle to wake me up? Ah, with that, I seem to now be immortal. All the better, as Solia is already immortal as well. I am very happy, but who is this little girl who is oddly dressed up?…
