The sky was like a yellowish ocean because of the sunlight. A plane was seen flying calmly. Everyone on that plane did not know what was about to happen to them.
Inside the cabin the atmosphere seemed normal until that voice became the starting point.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we will soon begin preparations for landing at New Chitose International Airport,"
The announcement from the flight attendant was heard from the plane speakers. The flight attendant reminded the passengers to follow landing procedures.
"...Thank you for your attention, and enjoy the rest of your flight with us,"
The silence inside the cabin gave a sense of calm that hid the tension of passengers preparing to land.
In the middle of that calm, a flight attendant was checking on the passengers. The name "Julie Notkins" was clearly visible on the flight attendant uniform. When Julie arrived at one of the seats, she found a man having trouble fastening his seatbelt.
"Excuse me, flight attendant, I feel like my seatbelt does not feel right," said the man beside her.
"Oh, alright sir, I will help you," Julie replied with a friendly smile.
As Julie approached to help the passenger fasten his seatbelt.
A flash of light in the form of a line passed through her vision, the dim cabin lights slowly turned on. However, that light came from Julie's body, which was surrounded by strange lines of light. The passengers around her were confused by this incident.
"What is happening?!" shouted a woman sitting in the back seat.
"What is this?" another passenger muttered, squinting as symbols crawled on Julie's body.
"Julie, what is happening?!" another flight attendant rushed over, her voice sounding panicked.
"I-I do not know! Why am I glowing?! These symbols: someone help me, please!"
Julie tried to step out of that glowing circle, but it was as if an invisible glass wall was blocking her. She hit the air, her voice broke but strangely, no one outside the circle could hear her.
"M-my head... It feels." Julie staggered as the symbols spun faster and faster, the light turning red.
Strange runes spread beneath her feet, and with a blinding flash she disappeared, leaving a shockwave that shook the entire passenger cabin.
The other flight attendant, who was thrown by the shockwave, rose from her position. When she realized that Julie had disappeared to somewhere.
"Julie... where did she... go?!" she muttered.
"Julie...,"
Suddenly, another loud jolt came from the front of the plane, which at that time was only the cockpit.
No one knew what would happen to everyone inside the plane.
Meanwhile at a different place.
The evening wind blew softly by the river. On a low grass slope, a high sidewalk stretched long: silent, only the rustle of leaves and footsteps were heard.
The thin iron fence on the side of the road swayed gently in the wind, while the scent of wet grass mixed with the cool river air.
The place felt peaceful. The afternoon atmosphere was decorated with an orange-red sky, sparkling water, reflecting the light of the setting sun. And the sound of the river flow filled the silence between two people walking side by side.
"Huhhh school was really hard today, right Riota?"
"It looked normal," Riota replied.
The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.
"Well, that is because you were lying sick in the infirmary, while the class was busy with festival preparations:"
"Sorry Keina, from now on I will take care of my body," Riota replied, holding his warm forehead.
"Riota, you have often been sick since junior high school, right," said Keina, looking at the sky.
Keina laughed softly.
"That just reminds me of our first meeting:"
"You still remember that? Even though it was already a year ago,"
"Well, it is natural for you to remember it, because at that time," Riota began to speak, interrupted because Keina closed his mouth by force.
The wind blew softly past Riota and Keina, their hair fluttering slowly. Keina released her hand from Riota's mouth, followed by a rumbling sound from above, like a metallic murmur spreading from a distance.
"Riota, there is something I want to say to you," said Keina, stepping back slowly.
"Say?" Riota asked, trying to make sure because that rumbling sound was getting louder.
"I-I lo—,"
An explosion sound broke in the sky, followed by a loud screeching sound as if heading toward both of them.
Then Keina looked at the sky, realizing something was wrong.
"Riota... what is that? You see it too, right?"
Riota looked up, in the direction Keina was looking. A plane cut through the sky, puffing thick black smoke. Its roar grew louder, shaking the Earth beneath me.
Riota's heart beat fast. "Kei... close your eyes," Riota pressed Keina's head to his shoulder, protecting her from the horror above.
Why am I doing this?
The sky roared, a deep red light exploded on the horizon as if tearing the fabric of the world. The plane came closer with its loud roar. The ground around it was scattered, and when the plane was truly close:
After that, what happened could be clearly imagined.
Riota's soul was stranded for quite a long time. Darkness was everywhere while his own soul, floating as if on top of water. But as if pulled by a water current, his soul headed to a certain place.
Riota's soul opened its eyes slowly.
A body like floating in the middle of darkness, no wind, no sound of a plane, only myself. Maybe I am already dead. My body felt like floating on water.
Oh right, what about her?
I do not want her to die with me.
But maybe this is destiny.
How would my sister feel knowing about my death. I hope she can accept it.
I feel like I want to meet her and apologize.
I want to meet my mother then introduce her to my friends.
I want to meet my father then apologize for hating him.
I want to hit him just once, but what is the point of doing that.
Does heaven or hell really exist.
Will humans have a place after death.
Does god really exist.
"Unfortunately, heaven and hell do not exist,"
A soft female voice echoed in the middle of that darkness.
The darkness began to fade, light began to come. Riota's body stopped floating, and Riota felt his body again. Riota who felt that immediately felt his chest realizing something from there.
"You dying is a reality," that soft voice came again.
Riota felt that voice getting closer to him. Now the ceiling changed into bluish green, now Riota began to step on the ground.
"Is this reality or is this just a fantasy," said Riota.
"For the first thing:" that voice this time came from behind Riota.
Riota turned around realizing someone not far from him was standing right now. A girl in a black hood, pale skin, with glowing golden-yellow eyes. The woman sat in a chair with a table.
Near that table there was an empty chair. Riota who saw it felt called.
"...Come here," said the woman.
Riota followed her command, without fear. Getting closer gradually the figure of the woman became clearer in Riota's eyes. From behind her hood her white hair was visible.
"Riota have you ever hated someone?:" the woman asked when Riota just sat on the empty chair.
Riota looked confused.
Why does she know my name?
Who is she?
"God, Deity, Goddess, X, Creator, whatever it is you are free to consider me what:"
Riota raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard the woman speak.
This woman is like she can read the contents of my head.
The woman put her hand on the table.
"Riota, have you ever hated someone?" the woman asked again.
"If you can read my mind, shouldn't you already know my answer," Riota replied.
"Of course I can read your mind, I have seen it from beginning to end. It is just that I am curious, who you hated from that beginning to end:" said the woman.
Riota also put his hand on the table.
"Who did I hate?" Riota muttered.
"I hate—," Riota's words were cut off by the woman.
"Hatred is one of the momentary traits of humans, this beautiful trait: makes them do anything because of that trait:"
"I like that trait, humans are beautiful. They are given excellence, but their negative traits will erase that excellence itself,"
"Now Riota... if the cause of your death is God would you hate him," said the woman who smiled widely.
Riota was silent.
I do not understand what she wants, and her reason for liking that hatred. Also if my death is because of god, I will accept it. Because I have long wanted to die, only Keina delayed it.
The woman put both her elbows on the table, then began to support her face with both hands.
"Love huh... beautiful," said the woman.
"Keina would probably be sad if she heard you say that:"
"Keina... Is she here?" Riota asked.
"Oh, do you really want to meet her? Indeed that is one of my reasons for meeting you,"
"Reason for wanting to meet," Riota muttered.
"Rest easy, I will not make another mistake,"
"Your soul power is also almost gone, I will finish it soon," the woman said.
Riota's body glowed slowly just like the flight attendant on the plane.
Riota observed every detail happening to his body.
Reincarnation?
"Well reincarnation, your second life will begin. But sorry, I will not involve you in important things,"
The light grew brighter, glowing runes appeared spinning around Riota.
"In exchange maybe your life will be more peaceful,"
Riota's soul disappeared.
The light began to disappear and darkness came shrouding again. In the middle of that darkness. The light of her eyes was clearly visible, radiating like hope.
"The same mistake as I made before,"
At that time a world where various races lived side by side. Humans who had extraordinary intelligence, built the highest civilization ever achieved. They worshipped me and my other self. Seeing humans, other races began to feel envy and jealousy: truly beautiful.
Humans who did not have physical superiority could only rely on their technology to fight other races.
Truly beautiful, seeing those helpless humans die like small ants. They prayed to me, asking for help to fight other races.
Then together with others I created beings with strange powers to help them, and finally humans succeeded in defeating the opposing races.
Those other races began to flee to the continent that was previously empty, hoping they could escape from the beings I created.
However here is where the true beauty lies, truly beautiful. Human greed is the most beautiful.
They conducted research and succeeded in finding a source of strange power similar to other races, through the beings I created.
A new heart was created for humans, with the strongest power and strongest technology. Humans increasingly reached the peak of technology and civilization. But, would they be grateful and thank me.
Of course not, greed devoured them. War between humans made the world even more chaotic, and that was when they played with something they did not know. And everything was destroyed, everything was destroyed, a beautiful destruction for mankind.
Repeating civilization back to its origin. Thousands of years passed, and darkness will approach. That is when my pawns will make me feel happiness again.
"Hahh, how pleasant. Humans are truly beautiful, greed is human beauty. But is love also beautiful, maybe he can tell me."
Those eyes began to close.
Darkness began to shroud completely.
"Destiny... yeah,"
