Chapter 19
"Nooooo!!"
"Stop her!"
"Elizabeth stop!"
She then pinned her down to the ground, making sure she won't do something she won't undo
"Nooooo!!"
Crack! Thud!
Crackle Crackle Crackle
Roaring sound of blazing flame resound, as the huge fire swallowed the whole house
"Darling!"
And all she could do is watch, as the whole building was engulfed
"DARLINGGG!"
Thud Thud
.....
Honk! Honk! Honk!
"No get away!"
"Sarah!"
Sreeench
Bang!
"!!"
"Darling!"
"Sarah stop!"
She hold her tight in her embrace, trying to at least calm her
"No stop!"
Crunch Crack Crunch
As the wheel of the truck grinded and rolled its body, sound of the bone crushing and the body being squished, reverberate to the surrounding area of the street, and those who have heard were silently horrified.
"Nooooo!"
And only her scream resonated in the whole area, as she ran.
.....
"Her complications are getting worse, I'm sorry to say that...that there's little we can do now"
"... Nooooo"
She wail as she lean her face to her husband, clenching her fist in dismay and guilt.
"... Let us just pray she will recover"
He stated, as he tried, even a little, to ease the mother's pain. The husband then embrace her as he hope, hoping that child will soon wake up from her slumber
"Tsubaki is a strong girl, let us just support her okay?"
Sniff Sniff
"Let us just stay with her"
.....
"Oh darling! Welcome home! Are you hungry? I already made dinner for you, you can also take bath if you want to.... Oh! You want me to come with you, geez hehehe...."
Holding a pair of dolls in her hand, she was lost, in a trance to the world that she only knows, living in a phantom void where wishes and dreams are true
"... Kanade"
In pain and in sorrow, even how much she prayed and wish, her daughter were already lost the will to let go, and she can only watched in the distance, hoping for a miracle

Swoosh
As the wind whistle through the thick battered walls
Crackle Crackle Crackle
The *torches light then lit the dimly corridor, as the wind passes through the old abandoned prison.
Swiish
And within this shattered infrastructure, as the wind howls
Tok Tok Tok
4 motionless corpses laid, chained and left to rot in this empty room
Swiish
Squek Squek Squek
And within this old prison cell, rats come and go as they travel, scavenging any foods they might find
"...."
Though faint, life is trying to persist to this 4 withered corpses
"Nhn....."
And one of them preserved. Trying to open its heavy eyelids, slow yet rough as it gasp, it then woke up from its slumber as it breath. With each arms chained to the dirty walls, it gazed to the surrounding area as it observed.
"Mnhnn...."
And notice someone beside it, twitched. The corpse, as thin as a stick, was now moving.
If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement.
"Haaaa~...."
And the life it once lost was now back. Slowly
Crack Crack Crack
It got up, with the sound of its bones cracking. As it sat
"Haaaa...."
It then once again gasp before it moved its head to the side, and saw someone beside it.
"..."
"....."
There eyes meet, even with such look that even an adult will felt a nightmare of, they recognize each other in a glance
"... Sssu.... Uuuu.....kiiiii...."
".... Eee... Eeeeeiii..... Beh...."

(???? POV)
10 days has passed, though the 4 of us were already awake and moving, but our body is yet be usable, and most of us are still immovable, like me. Though I can now think properly, which is mystery how can I do so
'For a living corpse to have an active brain, that some out of this world common sense'
Though I can talk, but it sound like I was writing in a stained glass using a nail, with a screeching sound of a violin at the background, it was disgusting.
I also remembered who I am, and the other 3 in this cell, though just their 1st name. Tsubaki is the one beside me, my sister, the other is Kanade, and the one who is chained like me is Sarah - placed at the right corner - and seeing her for the 1st time
(Elizabeth and Sarah POV)
'Feel like we are identical twins'
.....
(30) Some days since then, we are still alive and breathing. Kanade and Tsubaki left the cell as they tried finding some food for us to eat. They were able to get out thanks to our corpse like body, and passing this bars weren't much of a problem. They were like those horror filmed monsters that crawls in the dark, and making this "Argghhh... Gaahhhh.... Hhagghh...." sound as they move. I find it funny as how the 2 were once so eccentrics when it comes to look, and now is crawling in the floor to survive.
It didn't take them long, maybe they did, as they came back, holding in each of their maw was a
Buzz Buzzz Buzzz
A delicious treat
".... Aaghhhh... Haaaghhhhh..... Gaaaahhh!"
(Author's POV)
Tank Tang Thank Thang
Sdhkk Sdgkkk Dshkk
"Gaaahhhh!!"
Ferociously, Elizabeth and Sarah tried all their might to unshackled from the restrain that was binding them, just to taste this treat that both Tsubaki and Kanade brought with them
Buzzz Buzzz Buzzz
A fresh rotten corpse from an unknown monster
"Aaagghhhhhh!!"
Uncontrollable and hungry, as they try to take a bite for this savory delicacy. Tsubaki and Kanade then moved the rotten flesh inside the cell. After they got in, they the moved it towards there sister
"Haghhhhh!!"
Who were now in frenzy. They then peel off a part of the flesh, sat up and
Crunch!
Feed it to them.
Gulp
"Ahhhhhhh~...."
Bless, Elizabeth and Sarah moaned in satisfaction. Tsubaki and Kanade then continue to feed their hungry sisters, until they can restore their strength. Afterwards, they then returned to their hunt.
.....
50 days has passed, their body were now fatten a bit, their now flourishing. Their muscle reflexes has returned, their strength has recovered, enough to
Snap!
To break free from the chains that were holding them
Crack! Thud! (sound of the shackle falling on the stone ground)
Bang!
They then break themselves free form the prison bar. Their feet then felt the 1st touch of coldness of the ground, different from straw that they laid.
"Haaaa...."
They then slowly walked in this dimly corridor, where only the torches light lit.
Staggering as they walked, trying to lean to the walls as they pass, trying to at least help them cross. And beyond this breathless room
Bang! Crack!
Takakakakkakaka Takkakakaka
The sky roars in fury, and rained of torment as if the heaven's weeps. And for the 1st time
"..... Beautiful"
They bask themselves in this tempest's embrace
Crack! Bang!

(70 days has passed)
Reincarnation, a folklore tale about a religious belief, where one souls will be reborn anew to another body, when one's believe that death wasn't the end, but rather a beginning about another journey. It is used mostly in spiritual teaching, dramas and tale, books and games, and it seems we are also one of them.
Summoned, another story foretold in a different tale, where a chosen one will be called out in a different world, a distant universe, to either protect or rebuild the world it was summoned. A once fools thought was now a favored fable in many books and entertainment, and now here we are, being one of the lucky few
I, Elizabeth Moore, is a reincarnation and chosen summoned, or so I thought. After we have regained ourselves and was able to properly acted what a human should do, we, the 4 of us, then started talking, sharing what knowledge we have, and who we are, and guess what? Even those so called "parallel dimension" were true. Sarah Johnson-Smith, the woman who I thought was my identical, was really is, and in fact, loved the same man I loved, Shin Sora.
I am a daughter of a noble, and an inspiring professor in a well-known academy, fall in love to the son of a helsman and an adventurer. Tsubaki Moore, my elder sister, who ought to be the next heir of our family, fell to the same man I loved. Sarah Johnson-Smith, who is a popular college woman, praised for being smart and talented, fell to a man that is merely beneath her, and her elder sister, Kanade Johnson-Smith, were also too.
I died in the hands of one of my suitors, while my sister died in her slumber. Kanade was hit by an unexpected event, sending her to a state of madness, while Sarah was murdered by an obsessive fan. We meet our end 23 years after his death, while our eldest died at 60, and here we are, living in another world, far away from him.
As we are identical to each other, like a mirror image, Sarah who was supposed to be summoned, and me who was supposed to be reincarnated, have our souls tangled, creating a lucky roll of 2 6's with 2 dice in a single roll, resulting on her and me, our sisters too, being summoned and reincarnated, and having each of our memories blend in.
I don't know how many days, or months has it been, but we used the old prison quarter as our home base, for now. And for those passing time, we were able to learn a lot of things regarding this world we have come, thanks to Kanade of course. By using some of the buried bodies of those adventurers, and some people too, we are able to learn more than we can ask for.
[Centum Fluitantia Insulae], or the world of hundreds floating islands, is the world where we're reborn. The currency they used is Cooper < Silver < Big Silver < Gold < Big Gold < Platinum < Golden Platinum. The world is divided into 3 main islands, [The Banish] ≤ [The Proclaimed] ≥ [The Rightful], and between each of the main 3 islands is called [Bounded], which is divided into 2, [Bound of Curtailed] < [The Renowned Islands], and only those passes can visit each island, daring to go against this rule already resulted in an "unexpected" death of those individuals. Adventurers are given privilege to enter each island, with few who are restricted, if they show their Quest form.
We are at the [The Renowned Islands], in the island called [The Land of Once Spoken]. A large floating island (2 football field long, and wide as a basketball court in a landscape) where once a powerful city reside. After some epidemic that took the life of at least half of the city's population, it then gradually loses its contributors and close aides, resulting on the city losing its might, and withered. Many people then left, until it was now used as a base for criminals, a prison cell, an army's camp, and a tourist attraction, and now a ghost city.
We also learned about Dungeons, about skills and spells, sword and magic, and spending our time here, we tried to master the skills and abilities we have, and also
