- I always had the fear of death, but now I understand it very well, even though it is the first and last time I experience it. I wanted to do many things, but it seems that there is no more time. Goodbye my friends, Goodbye Mother, Goodbye Venus and Goodbye... Helen...

As Lenus uttered his last word unconsciously in contrast to his previous words, his eyelids were heavy with the drops of falling blood and slowly closed. Then he let out a small sigh and in an instant, all his pain disappeared.

***

In a dark space where the end was not clear and the direction had no meaning, suddenly a circular ring opened and a bright sphere entered this space. Although the surface, dimension and shape had no concept in this amazing and somewhat scary place, but when the sphere entered, it inevitably and forcibly changed its shape and created a flat surface inside itself so that the sphere could be placed on it.

The bright orb settled slowly on the black screen and the glow became less and less. At this time, suddenly a strange voice was heard from nowhere and said: "Get in shape."

As soon as the command was given, the orb changed from its spherical state to a human form, but still retained its dim light. As if until some time ago it was nothing but a luminous sphere, now it was a body with the head, hands, feet and other body parts of a normal human.

After a while, his eyelids opened with difficulty. He looked a little confused for the first few moments. The last images he saw before fainting were a dark space that was suddenly filled with light and then turned into darkness again. Now he saw instead a black expanse that had no beginning and no end, and nothing else was visible to him except his luminous body.

"So you are Lenus?"

The voice that had previously turned the orb into a human body by his command spoke to him again. His voice was hollow, had no tone, you couldn't tell what he was feeling and there was not even a trace of fear or anger in his voice.

The human body uttered its first words: "Lenus?" It was clear from the tone of his voice that he didn't know who Lenus was, but more than that, he was surprised that he couldn't see the caller. Therefore, while standing on the dark screen, he turned his head around to find the source of the sound.

"Don't worry, you'll understand," the voice said again.

Suddenly the human body stopped. The next moment, the same ring that had brought him here appeared above his head and shone a narrow column of red light into the brain of the human body.

This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

As soon as the light entered his head, the pupil of the human body began to rotate in his eye socket, and then he himself began to scream and moan. Every moment more information flooded into his mind, his screams got louder.

After a while, the circular ring disappeared as it had appeared, and the scream-like moans of the human body also ended. This was not a normal space and the human body was not a mundane body, otherwise vomiting was the least reaction he could express.

The unknown creature spoke again and said, "It certainly wasn't a good ending."

Remember the human body; He remembered what he had gone through. He was Lenus Hibbert; An adventure with the profession of a sorcerer who died in an unexpected and mysterious event after his teammates were slaughtered.

Remembering what he had gone through in the last minutes of his life, he was confused. The memories of the last moments of his life were so bitter and unfortunate that in addition to his body, they overshadowed his soul as well.

The human body, or Lenus, was now more confused by receiving his memories. He did not know what happened to him; The only and last thing he remembered was the bright light and his eyelids closing in the middle of it. Before that, he had no clear memory of the pain and injury, except for the death scene of his friends.

Lenus looked around and asked with concern: "What happened?" where is this Who are you?" But as he looked around, he saw nothing but blackness.

"Calm down, there's no more danger," said a seemingly unsourced voice.

Although the unknown voice announced that the situation was safe, Lenus' essence felt the danger more in the dark. No human was able to feel comfort and peace after going through those heartbreaking events and being in the middle of absolute darkness.

However, Lenus's mind and processing apparatus were slightly impaired. He didn't know why, but he calmed down with the words of the voice he heard, he was no longer confused and surprised like before.

"It's better now."

Lenus remained silent and said nothing even though he wanted to ask many things. A feeling told him that he was going to understand everything and that he didn't have to struggle.

The voice, which until now had short and concise sentences, now began to explain in more detail: "Let me tell you right now, Lenus, you are dead."

With this sentence, Lenus stopped. Even though his condition did not show that he was alive, he still hoped that his suspicion was wrong. He didn't like to accept the fact that he was dead, but the truth was the truth; Although bitter.

"There is neither heaven nor earth here either. A place separate from anywhere and independent of all spatial and dimensional laws."

Lenus looked around again. He could not believe what he heard; In his mind, there was no place where neither the earth, nor the sky, nor spatial and dimensional laws ruled over it... or at least that was what he thought until now.

Assuming everything he had heard, Lenus asked, "If I'm dead, why am I in this place?" Why is light shining from my body? And... why am I naked?" Then he looked at his head which was not covered by anything.

The voice answered with a short pause: "A soul is always pure and untainted and constantly emits light from itself. You are here for a reason, which we will talk about later. Are the questions finished?"

Lenus carefully touched his body and sighed. He never thought that the day would come when he would die and be able to see his spirit form; Of course, not so soon and at the age of 15.

Lenus raised his head and asked as a final question, "Who are you?"

There was silence for a while. Then an unknown voice said with a certain majesty to Lenus: "A human like you."
