9. Dream once again

Please give me your opinion, it’s lonely here T_T

_____________________________

I once ruled this kingdom,

The kingdom of suffering and pain,

Hell.

I have my responsibility as a deity.

Thus, I have never thought that I will ever need a ‘friend’

That was…

Until I met you.

_______________________________

‘Hah…where am I?‘

Currently I’m in this place of pure white.

‘This is like when I met that goddess, this floating like feeling.‘

Well I Don’t know if she is a real goddess or not, but she indeed gave a feeling like she is one.

I slowly looked around,

There’s no wall;

There’s not even a ceiling.

‘And there’s no sky either…‘

There’s only white.

Haaa…

‘Seriously…where is this place?‘

Suddenly,

“Ah, it seems you have arrived”

Shortly after the voice resounded, countless lights shined from above, then, she descended in front of me.

“Ah…you again, the goddess”

“Yep, its me the goddess”

She said it…

And she’s not even embarrassed.

Ha…

I thought I could embarrass her by talking like that.

A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.

It seems normal common sense doesn’t work for a deity huh.

“So? What business brought you here today?”

“Hmm? Oh yeah…I’m here to tell you that I have unlock the second ‘key’ for you too. And this is the last time I will do this, the rest is up to you.”

Key?

“If I may ask you a question, what do you mean by key?”

“And what do you mean by ‘our’ bet…”

Those things really bugs me to no end.

What bet? What key? I don’t understand at all.

“I can’t tell you about the bet, it wouldn’t be interesting if I do. But at least I can tell you about the key”

Again with the ‘interesting’ thing.

Does she thinks that I’m a toy or something?

“You see…I’ve put seven things (the keys) inside the dungeons under the world’s most famous cities. And its your job to collect them all”

My job huh…

Unbelievable.

“And what’s in it for me? You don’t expect me to just listen to your demand obediently right?”

“Don’t worry, have you realized that your memories are full of holes?”

!?

Now that I think about it…

I can’t remember about my childhood or how I died at all…

“When you succesfully collect each things I put in the dungeon, a piece of your memories will return to you each time. And along with your memories, you will grow as well.”

?!

That so…

“And what if I’m not interested?”

Hearing my answer, her smile faded. And a cruel grin surfaced from her mouth.

Then the atmosphere around her changed.

Cold.

I felt a cold killing intent coming from the goddess.

“I will kill that little girl and her brother, Eris and Nanda correct?”

?!

She showed me a crystal ball that she made using light particles, and inside it is…Eris and Nanda?!

Is She really a goddess?!

“And also…I will kill…maybe 90% of the world population? As a bonus…I will reserve the front seat, just for you.” 

Those are not the words befitting of a goddess at all!

She’s willing to kill people…no, everything just to make me join this little game of her!?

Fuck!!!

If its like this then I don’t have any other choice don’t I?!

“So? What will it be? Will you start the game? Or not?”

“…I will, Its not like I have any other choice…so? What are the things that you put in the dungeons?”

When she heard my answer, in the blink of an eye, all killing intent suddenly vanished like it was never been there to begin with. And she also smiled.

This is bad…is this why I’ve got the feeling that this goddess is dangerous.

She…is crazy. 

“That is the answer I’ve been waiting for~! Don’t be unreasonable okay?”

…you are the one who’s being unreasonable…willing to cause a mass genocide just for a game? That’s insane.

“So the seven things that I put into the dungeons were a sword, a shield, a scroll,  a sheath, two daggers, and… a second chance.”

Second chance?

“What do you me-”

“Ah look at the time! Until next time~!”

Before I could finish my sentence, she just up and disappeared along with a golden light.

Ah crap!

I forgot to ask why I can’t use magic!

———————————-

A woman with a purple hair tied in a twin tail, sit on top of a bed colored white. All the furniture there are all white with no other color in sight.

Farah, the goddess who rule over life and death.

“My, my…look who’s back.”

With a teasing tone, Farah spoke to the woman who was just appeared alongside a parade of golden lights. 

“Shut up.”

Valkuria, the goddess of creation answered her teaser with a slightly annoyed look.

After a brief silence, voice of worry can be heard coming out from Farah’s small lips.

“Hey, are you really okay? Throwing threats like that to him. I mean, you are the same as me right? You have…”

“Its…okay. sooner or later I may have…”

“Don’t say it. Please..just…don’t.”

With a sad look, Farah walked approaching Valkuria.

Then…with a weak smile,

“Hey Farah, thank you for everything…”

“Don’t say that…have faith a little will ya?”

While smiling, Farah gave Valkuria word of encouragement.

“I hope the other you is doing well…Farah”

“Yeah, I hope so too. I will do the usual okay?”

“Mm…”

After that, a faint gentle voice of singing could be heard resounding in the place of pure white.
