The summoning spell was a success. I seem to be crossing dimensions and is now travelling to back to my world.
Or so I thought, as all but a white familiar scene surrounds me.
I guess I have to talk to the gods before crossing dimensions like when I was first summoned. I wonder which one I have to talk to.
As I starts to regain my senses, a sharp pain from my shoulder jolts my mind as my body is unable to move due my previous intense battle and the use of a large amount of mana.
Why am I feeling pain? I’m in the gods domain right? Yet, not only am I not able to move but I hardly feel any mana surrounding me at all?
Looking around the room do I only start to understand the situation. An IV stand to my right and other devices surrounding me taking my vital signs.
Hospital? How did I get here? No, I guess this is ideal since if I didn’t make it here I would’ve died somewhere else. Who brought me here?
Such thoughts are of no use to me now. Right now, I need to speed up my healing or I don’t believe i’ll be able to survive past a day in my current condition.
At least I should be able to patch up some of my wounds since theres no miasma here like the demon queens castle that will damage my body.
Closing my eyes, I start to sense the surrounding mana and slowly start to absorb it into my body before spreading it around my wounds and fuelling my bodies cells to heal my wounds.
I invented this technique using my worlds knowledge after crossing to the other but even though it does heal wounds it isn’t omnipotent and it realises on my bodies stamina.
It seems Earth has an extremely low level of mana when compared to the other world. That might explain why magic is non-existent since it’s almost undetectable.
While absorbing the mana around me, I notice someone who seems to be sitting down beside me and stand up staring at me intently.
“He, hey, are you okay? Uh..”
A girl with black straight hair dropping straight down to the centre of her back with dark brown eyes is seen somewhat confused and worried at the man laying down on the bed.
Looking up, I notice the modern clothing I missed as the woman clothing reminds me of the past.
“W..who are you?”
With small cracks in my voice are heard while i’m desperately trying to hide my tears I was finally able to realise my life goal but the first person I see reminds me of someone for some strange reason deep down.
“Uh.. I wanted to ask you the same thing you know… Um..you were kinda bleeding out.. in um my brothers room…”
“Brothers Room”? Did I appear in someones house and just drop dead on the floor. I could’ve sworn I was imagining my home…. wait.
I look closely at the girl in front of me and now do I realise just how lucky I have been to have the first person I see to be my sister.
She’s grown up over the past years and I almost didn’t realise who this was until she mentioned me appearing in my own room.
Tears of both joy and regret fall down start to fall down my face but I don’t stop since theres no reason to stop.
I start to reminisce about my younger 8 year old sister who was so cute but now seems to be a high schooler no doubt with her tall stature.

Stopping my healing due to exhaustion and simple relief, I lay back down on the bed and before I start to fall back to my slumber, I manage to say the words i’ve always wanted to say for over 7 years.
“I’m home…”
Akari POV
Returning home from another day of school i’m met back to my lonely home with only me and my mother who is now out working.
Ever since the disappearance of my brother 7 years ago it’s been lonely. Even though the police searched for him for over 3 years no traces were found at all.
I never understood where my brother went but me and my mother were devastated. Even though I was only 8 I still remember my brother clearly since we did everything together.
Although it’s better now, it’s still lonely. Where did you disappear to onii-san.
Unlocking the door to my lonely home, I heard a loud thud from upstairs.
“Is mum home early?…”
Opening the door and slowly walking upstairs I see a flashing light coming from my brothers room and another loud thud.
I slowly crept up to the room and ope the door slowly. I look around and I saw someone on the ground bleeding as blood spreads around the whole room
Screaming I ran downstairs and started calling the ambulance and police before pulling out a knife from the kitchen and holding it in front of me.
My legs are shaking in fear for the first time in my life. I don’t know what to do. Theres a deadman in my brothers room.
After a while of calming down, I start to slowly walk upstairs to peak through the doorway. All I see is the man simply laying there not moving at all.
Entering, I notice the window still locked shut and the man with only one arm with a pleased face. Looking closer, I notice he somewhat looks familiar but right now theres no way I can keep looking at that.
Going to the bathroom I pick out a rag used for bandaging up big wounds and start to rap it around… Why is he bleeding everywhere!? Who is he!?
Hearing the sirens outside I bolt down the stairway and open the door calling for help. The ambulance run inside my house and I follow them in.
Only now do I notice the man only has a single arm and a cosplay like robe around him soaked in his blood.
I was questioned by the police who this man was but I tell them I have no idea who he is and they told me there was no break in found meaning someone let him in or the doors were unlocked which is impossible.
My mother seems to of been contacted since I see her pulling up her car and running towards me asking if i’m alright.
I told her what happened and she told me to visit the person in the hospital to find out who he is.
I’m really scared but I keep getting this nagging feeling that I know this person yet I don’t know who he is.
We arrive at the hospital and we are told he is in room #204. My mother starts to ask me what injuries he had but I simply say I didn’t get a good look at him.
Which isn’t necessarily a lie since I honestly do not know how many wounds he had and how bad his condition was.
Walking up to the room we meet a nurse who says the man was almost dead before they made it to the hospital and is his condition isn’t looking good.
My mother and I get worried since a person almost died in my brothers room and I was about to witness it.
Entering the room, I see the man is still unconscious and has almost his entire body rapped up in bandages from head to toe.
I still don’t know who he is but I keep getting this strange feeling like he’s familiar but he has this aura that i’ve never felt before.
I turn and see my mother telling me that she has to leave since she rushed out of work without signing off so I wave her goodbye and sit down on the seat.
Reorganising my thoughts I think about what happened and how this person got into my house.
What was that light that came from the room and who gave him all these wounds? I can only think of these things yet I can’t answer them until he wakes up so I sit still.
After what felt about an hour or two he starts to fidget before opening his eyes. I’m glad, I thought he wasn’t going to wake up at all today.
Before I start to ask if he’s alright I sense something really strange around me as if it’s being drawn to the man on the bed. What is this feeling?
I watch as the man closes his eyes before his once bleeding body starts to regain some life in it which completely bewildered me.
The cuts on his face start to slowly close up and his bruises on his legs start to fade away very slowly. After what felt to be about a few minutes I finally wake up and ask him whats on my mind right now.
“He, hey, are you okay? Uh..”
Ah, I wonder if he heard me..? It looks like he noticed me but he just keeps staring at me weirdly.
“W..who are you?”
Eh, is he crying? Does it really hurt that much? Ah, what do i do?
Why do I feel like I know this person and want to hug him or something. What is this strange feeling.
“Uh.. I wanted to ask you the same thing you know… Um..you were kinda bleeding out.. in um my brothers room…”
He’s crying!? Did I say something bad!? What do I do…
Eh, maybe it really hurts or something and needs some pain killers. Thats right!
Turning around I run out the door and start yelling for the nurses to get some help before returning to room and seeing the guy smiling.
Why is his smile about to make me cry?
He seems really tired, um what do I-
“I’m home…”
I’m home….?
“Onii-san…?”
