Am I … dead? Bliss blinked, her white bunny ears twitching cutely. No. This seems to be … something else. The bunny succubus lay on her back, facing upwards. She blinked her golden eyes again. Above her, life-force lights floated about. Even further up, she could make out the light-blue stone of the cavern ceiling.

Wasn’t that red just a moment ago? She continued staring at the light-blue stone above her. There is not even a hint of red to it now. It is just light blue. Even stranger, the light-blue stone seemed to have a slight golden glow to it. She blinked yet again and sat up. The pain is gone. She looked around, her bunny ears twitching again. It is not just the ceiling. All the stone is light-blue, and that golden glow is everywhere. She rose to her feet and stretched. Her bunny ears twitched yet again, and her black succubi wings did a bit of a flutter. What happened to all the red? Just what is this place?

[You are in a higher realm.]

A higher … realm? Bliss blinked again, not getting a response. She sighed and held out her right palm. A few life-force lights danced above it. A lovely smile formed on her face. So … how did I get here?

[You entered this higher realm a moment before your death.]

A moment before my death? Bliss paled, a sweatdrop rolling down her temple. That is right. The red dungeon was about to … She took a deep breath, relaxing herself. I guess I got lucky and escaped to this place.

[You did not escape.]

I did not … Bliss sweatdropped again, her bunny ears twitching this time. You mean I died. That totally sucks. She lowered her head in dismay, her bunny ears giving another twitch for good measure.

[You have not died yet.]

Wait. Didn’t you say …

[You will understand in time.]

Understand what? Bliss got no response. She sighed and then glanced around. So I am not dead, but I did not escape the red dungeon. She brought her right hand to her chin and closed her beautiful, golden eyes as she thought. What does that mean? Does it mean that I am still with the red dungeon and about to be … She sweatdropped before opening her eyes and lowering her right hand. That is not a nice thought, not a nice thought at all. Her cute bunny ears drooped. Well … She perked back up. If I am still there, then how am I also here? Her golden eyes widened as a thought came to her. Am I just projecting to here from there or something?

As she continued to ponder her predicament, a golden ripple in the very air drew her attention. She turned to said ripple and watched as it opened up into a rift. Through said rift, a still scene displayed.

Isn’t that … me? She stared through the golden rift at herself. The her on the other side of the rift lay face up on wet, red stone. She remembered how strangely soft that red stone had felt. And that is the red dungeon. Her golden eyes had turned to the red dungeon, who was also showing through the rift. One of the red dungeon’s tentacles was a moment away from crushing the skull of the her on the other side of the rift.

That is the there where I also am, isn’t it? Tears beaded up in her golden eyes, her white bunny ears drooping. There, I am about to get my head crushed, so why am I here? She shook a bit. Why am I here? Am I just here to suffer? The golden rift before her vanished.

Wait. Her eyes lit up, and her bunny ears perked up. If I am effectively frozen at that point over there, then there is still hope, isn’t there? What am I supposed to actually do over here though?

Another golden rift appeared, and her eyes went to it. Immediately, her face flushed bright red, and her eyes widened. What the hell is this? Is this supposed to be some sort of what-if for if I had not slapped the red dungeon? Her face turned even redder as a rather-lewd scene played out between her and the red dungeon on the other side of the rift. Even the sounds coming from the me on the other side of the rift are so lewd. The rift showing the sex scene vanished. Thank hell.

Yet another golden rift appeared. This time, she apprehensively looked to it, her bunny ears twitching nervously. Please do not be another sex scene. She breathed a sigh of relief. On the other side of the rift, she saw naught but a light-blue cavern much like the one she currently stood in.

A moment later, the rift became obscured by an opaque gold. Bliss blinked, her bunny ears twitching cutely. That is different. She stepped a bit closer the rift to get a better look, her black high-heels lightly tapping on the light-blue stone of the floor. Well, it showing a light-blue cavern was a little different too. She jolted back as something reached out.

Is that … a hand?

From the shimmering gold obscuring the rift, a feminine hand reached out. The ivory-skinned hand did not try to grab Bliss. Instead, it beckoned her, beckoned her to enter the rift. Having beckoned Bliss, it then withdrew back into the shimmering gold. The shimmering gold obscuring the rift then faded away.

I think something wants me to step through, but … Bliss stared at the light-blue cavern beyond the rift. Her golden eyes watched as life-force lights drifted about beyond the rift. Should I step through it? She gulped, and her bunny ears gave another cute twitch. Well, I suppose stepping through is better than just hanging around and waiting for the red dungeon to finish me off. Steeling herself, she stepped up to the golden rift and then poked a finger through. Well, here I go. She stepped through.

She found herself in another light-blue cavern that looked identical to the last. Well, now what? She glanced to the life-force lights floating about before turning around. She froze. Her bunny ears and tail both twitched. What the hell is going on? The golden rift she had passed through was nowhere to be seen. Instead, another her stood in its place. Her golden eyes went to the other hers right hand. Wait. Isn’t that? No way. Was I beckoning myself earlier?

She watched as the other her stepped to her. “What do you want?”

The other her just smiled, her bunny ears twitching in that same cute manner that Bliss’s did. She then reached toward Bliss, extending her right pointer finger. She did not try to touch Bliss though. She instead just held her finger in front of Bliss, patiently waiting.

Bliss blinked before shifting her golden eyes from the gold eyes of the other her to the other hers outstretched finger. “Do you …” She looked back to the other hers eyes. “I see.” Somehow, I just know what she wants me to do. She raised her right hand and then proceeded to press the tip of her right pointer finger against the tip of the other hers. The higher realm faded to gold.
