Everything was pitch black. No, to be specific the surrounding was like a planetarium with a background of night sky with full of stars.
In this bizarre but beautiful place, there were two existences.
“….. ey”
A voice is imprinted to James’ head. After the blast created by Satan, James’ memories were messed up but he was clear of one thing.
(I really did died.)
Although it felt unreal, he remembered the moment when the bastard is laughing horrifyingly even though he’s the main cause of the destruction of Earth.
“…Hey.”
The voice heard by James is becoming clearer and clearer.
“Where … am I?”
“Oh, you woke up. Although it is inevitable, it’s kind of sad to see you die without resistance.”
Hearing the voice, James tries to see where the voice speaks. However, …
‘I.. I can’t see anything!??’
He was in a panic. Although he remembers the voice transmitted through his head will unknowingly save him, he won’t know HOW does he save him in the first place.
Heck, maybe the owner of the voice uses him and discard him later just like a disposable garbage…
“That’s a one heck of a negative thought. Don’t worry, I’m not that inhumane enough to use dispose you. Although, I do have a purpose for saving you.”
Hearing that voice, he begun to calm down. He immediately recognized as it was the same voice transmitted on his head. If so,
(I’m sure you can understand my thought just like in Earth. To confirm, are you the one who call me?)
Hearing that, the voice responded,
“Right, there’s no mistake I’m the one who called you. Since it’s quite inconvenient for you unable to see. I’ll explain your condition first. Right now, you are just a soul without a piece of body lodging. In short, a wandering ghost.”
The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
(…haha, never thought that I myself has become a spirit)
“pft, you sure are incredible for being able to laugh in this situation. Anyway, I teach you to make you feel yourself like a human again. Try to imagine your body parts in the past such as the bone,muscle,tissue and cell creating your body. Even though it can be hard, at least make a rough picture.”
Hearing that, James try to imagine oneself where the body growing starting from the bone, muscle attached to it, having a skin to cover it, and for the last step he imagines his soul ‘stick’ to the heart for it to be beating.
“….Whoa.”
The voice couldn’t help but exclaim. He imagines that James will become something like a zombie or ghoul with no proper shape. However, the figure in front of him completely looks the same as the one he looks at the Earth. Hell, it looks like he even has the leeway to make himself a bit more muscular and manly.
“*groan*… fuuu, although being a ghost is a new experience, as expected being a human is the best for me.”
Saying that, he looks at his own hands and body. He couldn’t help to nod satisfyingly as the body he created was perfectly the same as he imagined.
“… I never expected that you can create it with high degree of detail.”
Hearing that voice, James look toward the owner of voice,
Leaving him stunned thoroughly.
The owner of the voice—no the man with a faint smile speak, “Since this is the first time we met eye to eye, I’ll say it again. Hello James, Nice to meet you I guess?”
Hearing that, James wanted to speak but his mouth is moving like a goldfish. In the end, the word he squeezes out is
“How… can it be.. you?”
The man can’t help but ask, “Hm? Is there a problem with my looks?”
Problem?
To be completely honest, James doesn’t feel any problem with it. In fact, it’s the opposite. The man in front of him has tall legs, a burly but thin figure. His skin is white colored, but not too bright, which even can make woman jealous. As for his head and face, he has no blemish at all in that sharp porcelain face. his golden’ eye colored pupils are so beautiful until James unconsciously entranced by it. Moreover, his silver white colored hair with free hairstyle perfectly complement with his face. Lastly, his black coat and pants which are contrasting with his skin and hair makes himself brighter.
In short, he is extremely handsome man who way surpass the idol level. In fact, maybe the Apollo himself will blush with shame comparing with him.
However, what makes James most surprised is,
“Why, is your look exactly the same as my imagined character !?”
Yes, that’s the point he was surprised about.
The main character for his wanted light novel are completely the same as the man in front of him. In other words, even if you split the watermelon in half, you can’t even tell the difference.
“hmm.. Is that so? I guess that’s how I shape in your eyes.”
“my… eyes?”
The man responded with a smile, “Right, the condition I’m in right now is kind of group of imaginations, a scattered soul. What reflected in your eyes is the best reflection of yourself in many worlds.”
Hearing that, James understood the sentence itself. In truth, although he himself doesn’t have any complaint with his body and looks, he can’t help but to imagine oneself to be the man like in front of him as it is the ideal looks for him.
However, what makes James confused is the word spoken,
“many worlds… ,myself… best reflection of me…. Wait, is it.. really something that I imagine right now?”
Reading James’ mind, the man couldn’t help smiling but nod, “Right, it’s exactly what you are thinking right now.”
“I will answer your first question you asked at Earth. My name is Rein. I am another existence of you who live in a parallel world.”
