Infinite loop A New Start
I wake up. My same old room. Completely empty. There’s nothing here. Only a bed and a desk. Aside from that this room is pretty empty. I don’t even own a closet.I get up and open the window curtains. It’s a fine morning. Birds are chirping and I can see the blue sky. White clouds are floating like cotton candies.I am thinking about what to do. Suddenly I get the feeling that I am forgetting something. What was I doing last night? I can’t recall tue last night. Oh well, what could I be doing? My days have been the same for a long time. Ever since my parents died, my days have been the same.I should wash my face and have breakfast. I open my room’s door thinking that. I have this whole house to myself. A normal house that can house 4 people easily. My room is upstairs.My parents’s room is downstairs. Was anyway. Now this whole house is mine. I sleep wherever I feel like it. Most of the time though, I sleep im the living room.So why was I in my room? I open the living room. A tv to
Infinite loop A talk with Selena
“I am gonna walk to my home. But if you want, we can take the train.” I ask Selena. She is still new to this area and it’s kinda hot. So maybe I should take the train.“No. I am fine as it is. I want to see this neighborhood as well. So let’s walk.” (Selena)“You are pretty cool with this but you have to be careful as well. You are going to a guys house. Moreover I live alone.”“Are you going to do something to me?” (Selena)“Nah.. I would not. But take this as a reminder.” “I will. You said you live alone. What about your parents?” (Selena)“Mmm…..they are beyond the Styx I guess. I mean how are they in heaven is something I don’t know.”“Oh…. I am sorry.” (Selena)“Don’t be. It happened a long time ago. How many years? About five years already. Time sure flies. I think it was just yesterday that my mom would scold me for bad grades and dad would just bitterly smile at our exchange.”I remember the good old days. Those days were really fun. Back then I thought it was a nuisance but
Infinite loop This day is cursed
It’s already 9:00 pm. So I left for home.“Stay here tonight.” Gramps said that but I insisted on going home. So I am leisurely riding my cycle and going home.I haven’t taken the main road and going home through the small roads. But the day was nice. I woke up and went to school. But it was Sunday.That was blunder. Then Selena talked to me. It was a fresh experience because most people would just ignore me. We talked a lot.She is fun to talk to. But that’s it for today. She won’t have time to talk to me from tomorrow onwards. And she won’t remember me probably!! Gramps and I played shogi. But I suck. So I lost every single game. The lunch was delicious.“Grandma, your food is the best.”“Don’t call me grandma. Do I look old?” (Grandma)“A young grandma. Happens rarely but does happen.” “You little….you are gonna make a lot of girls cry.” (Grandma)“That’s your imagination. I don’t see myself like that. I don’t even talk to girls that much.”“But you talked to me.” (Selena)“It w

Selena POVI unlocked my phone to check on Akatsuki. But I had a notification. I thought of ignoring it. But it said Akatsuki.So I touched the notification to see what it was. And I was shocked. It was a medical report.I know that you can share your medical information with your contacts nowadays. But why am I getting a medical report from him?I look at his heart rate. It’s dropping. Fast and his body temperature is high. I call him. But no one is picking up. I panic.“Selena what’s the matter? You are becoming restless.” (Mary)“I am calling Akatsuki but he isn’t answering. And there’s this medical information I got from him.”I show her the information and she turned serious as well. “We have to go there.” (Mary)She told her parents. Her father went inside the house and brought the car keys. He started the car and we all rode to his place.The closer we got, the more restless we became. Because, the fire is coming closer and when we turned the last turn, we became sure. It was
Infinite loop My worries
Mizuki POVI would call myself an ordinary girl. I have normal parents and normal friends. I am totally normal in both studies and sports. However I am called amazing by others.They always praise me. They always call me an elite. I don’t know exactly when did it start but I took it for granted. Then it happened. The one kid who lives in front of me. I think his name is Akatsuki. We played for some time. And we went to the same school.But one thing I noticed was that he never praised me. He never told me that I was precious. He showed no interest in me.It infuriated me. It annoyed me to no end. I wanted him to praise me. No, I wanted to make him praise me.But in the end, I couldn’t. We moved up to middle school. We were in the same class. He had good grades. But he wasn’t that athletic. He always grew his hair. His face was always hidden because of his hair.But he talked to me. I used to talk to him everyday. We both were childhood friends after all. And no one beside me talked
Infinite loop The turmoil
Now let’s talk about Akatsuki’s condition. When Mizuki was talking to Mary, Akatsuki went into a seizure. His heart stopped.“What happened?” “Doctor, his heart rate is dropping. He is convulsing.” “No good. Prepare the room. We have to start his heart. Prepare the defibrillator.”The doctor is rushing to him. Akatsuki is in a terrible condition. His seizure is constantly shutting his whole body down. His convulsion is stopping. He is becoming still. Meaning his heart is almost stopped.But thanks to them taking action on time, he somehow survived. His heart started again.“What’s his condition?” “His outside isn’t that damaged. But he is heavily bleeding internally. If not stopped, he will die of internal bleeding.”“We can’t do anything. He isn’t even conscious.”The doctors are having a hard time deciding what to do. Because Akatsuki isn’t in a good condition. His heart and brain are heavily damaged. His stomach and lungs are ruptured.The impact crushed his rib cage. His eyes
Infinite loop A miracle
(Mizuki POV)Two days after his death, we are gathered. At his funeral. He doesn’t have any relatives left who can carry his photo. But that wasn’t a problem.Mary is holding is his photo. We are all here. The ones who knew Akatsuki are all here. When the news came, I broke down. I started crying like a baby. My mother calmed me down.When I went to the hospital with my parents, I can hear the wails. It was Mary. She was wailing in pain and grief. Because he left us. That Selena girl is there as well. Standing a little away from Mary. I go near Akatsuki. His face isn’t contorted. His lips were pointing upwards.He was smiling. Did he die having a good dream? Looking at his face, I felt relieved. He left in peace. That’s what I thought.It took a while for Mary to calm down. And completing the preparations took another day.Now we are here. In the community center, where his funeral is being held. There are many people. Most of them are our classmates.The girls are all here. Even fro
Infinite loop A decision
I am talking with Selene. She has descended into Selena’s body. I am in my house and Mizuki and Mary are with me. “I will take the offer though.” I say. To what Mizuki and Mary become more confused. Selene is contorting her face.“Why?” (Selene)“Because she said she will give me a proper birth. I was not born normally. And my soul is just a stray soul. If I die here, I will be destroyed. So I think I should take her offer.”“Are you sure?” (Selene)“It’s rare for a whimsical goddess like you to worry about me.”But she didn’t respond to that. I should talk with Mizuki and Mary.“Mary….the thing is that…I need to leave.”“……”“Don’t just stay silent. I have to go…”“I get it…..” (Mary)She started crying. “Because I am already dead. The me you are seeing is a temporary one. Soon Izanami will come chasing me. I have to leave before that or you all will get involved in this.”But she didn’t say anything either.“Thank you, Mizuki. For wishing that I should come back.”I thank Mizuki.

We came at a wrong time
I am currently with Constant. We are headed for the human world.“I say the human world but it was actually created by one of the humans. There exists a plenty of human worlds. This is just one of them.” (Constant)He said that and now we are walking through a portal he created.The portal left us at a field. It’s a normal field. “This is a world that was created by one of my friends. This is also my first time coming here. Let’s find a city or town.” (Constant)We both start walking. The area is nice. It’s sunny but not hot. The wind is gently blowing caressing my whole body. Somehow, I get the feeling that I know this sensation.After walking for about 15 minutes, we arrive at a small town. It looks like a medieval town. Stone houses and stone paved roads. It has proper water drainage system and the town’s folk look clean. “The town is called Solomon. It is named after a wise king. Today is supposed to be a festival. But what, I don’t know.” (Constant)So a festival. The town is k

A day from his memories
After he got ready, we left that place. I don’t know where that is but we left it anyway. He tapped on a portion of the wall and it opened revealing a spiral portal.“Off we go.” He said and jumped into it. I also did. Portals like this are basically connected to a random place. I don’t know where I would end up at.After coming out, I see a residential area, I think. Concrete road, houses on each sides and a pond. Seriously, a pond. This is the first time, I am seeing an open pond.I find Constant sitting on a bench by the pond. The pond is kinda green. And it’s dirty.“See, this is the area I spent my childhood in.” (Constant)“Hoohhh…then you grew up here?”“Yes. It holds a special meaning to me. Behind us is a library. It doesn’t look like it though.” (Constant)He points at a pink building. It has something written on it but I can’t read that. I sit by him. Despite being dirty, this pond is kinda calming.“You see, to our left is my school.” (Constant)He pointed to our left and

We have a good chemistry
After a good night’s sleep, I woke up. I don’t even know if a night has actually passed or not but I woke up exactly when my body usually tells me to. I will assume a night has passed. Constant, my so called creator, is sleeping on his bunk. I get out of bed and look for the kitchen. But wait, this is just a white room. Does this even have a kitchen?But my question was answered. A portion opened up and I could see a kitchen like space. It has everything a normal household kitchen has.Maybe it has everything necessary and for the ingredients, I open the fridge and find everything. It has different types of meat, fish, dairy products, eggs, vegetables, all sorts of condiments and what not. Hell, even deserts were there. The fridge definitely uses spatial manipulation to store more things. I take out some eggs and bacon. I open the down drawer and find rice. Let’s have it for lunch. But now I need bread. I open the big metal door which was beside the fridge and see stairs.It leads

Meeting my creator
A few days have passed since all of those. I am back at my own house in the world I was born in. Mizuki, Mary, Selena and Nino live with me.Life has been well. I feel that my journey is over. But a sense of discomfort still lingers. Why do I feel so unsatisfied? I can’t describe this feeling. But something is amiss.Is it over? My story was such a short one. I can’t even believe it myself. The discomfort in me grows. All of them are out shopping. I am currently house-sitting. I am bored. Maybe that’s why I felt like that? I close my eyes and kinda doze of.◇◇◇◇◇“Wake up, Akatsuki.” I hear a voice. A man’s voice but it’s similar to mine. I open my eyes to find myself. Eh!! I am looking at myself.“Don’t make such a stupid face. I am not you.” The mysterious guy who looks like me says. But if he isn’t me then who is he?“This is the first time I am meeting you. You can call me whatever you want. Father, brother, god, author…anything you want. Because I am all of them.” What is th

Another long explanation
Currently I am at my house. Mary and Mizuki have been summoned to this world as heroes. Selena came as Selene’s priestess. The Valkyries have become their guides and Medea is responsible for all of this.However, staying there was kind of uncomfortable so I teleported all of us to my house. My house is not big enough to house everyone so I expanded it with spatial magic.We are all sitting on sofas with me in the center. Mizuki and Mary are quite at me. Selene was talking to me and she sounded angry as well. Midway through, she changed with Selena. Medea is tittering and I am very tired.“Do tell me Akatsuki, what have you been doing these 5000 years?” (Selene)“It’s confusing if you keep changing with Selena. But mostly sleeping I guess. I went on a short trip after my deal was over and then came here, dug a hole and fell asleep. I woke up a few days ago when they found this place.”I point at the Valkyries. They became stiff. “So, you have been sleeping for 5000 years. Sounds total

Summoning
And the day of the summoning came. As I promised, I am at the summoning point where Medea will summon them. The point is actually a platform which is inside the castle premises.I asked Medea if it was alright to come and she gave me her yes. I teleported immediately with Aisha, Belle and Leah in tow.When I finished teleporting, I was met with a small squadron of armed combatants. They were ready for something.And when I stood in the room, they pointed their spears towards me. I am tired of this. I see everyone is present. I see a gaudy chair on which a middle aged man is sitting. He has a different aura from the rest and is probably the king.He is sitting behind a big golden chair. Probably for Medea. When the king saw me, he jumped. I can see his veins bulging. I see Medea standing in the middle of a circular podium. She is smirking at me.“Medea, enough of your tricks. You clearly didn’t tell them that I was coming, did you?” She just stuck her tongue out and made an oops fac

Learning of important things
(Aisha POV)We have reached Akatsuki’s house. I mean, the plain he lives in. However, how do we enter? He lives underneath this plain.“Belle, can you cut this land with your sword?” I ask Belle. But she nodded sideways. She can’t. I knew that she can’t. Why did I ask something so impractical of her?But the ground split open and the stairs were visible. Maybe he is letting us in.“Let’s go.” (Leah)Leah is really eager to meet him again. Maybe because he is the unknown. As a mage, her instincts are telling her to investigate him.We go down the stairs and knock on the wooden door. And the door opens. Behind the door, we see Akatsuki.“Welcome again. I was waiting for you to arrive.” (Akatsuki)He said. We enter and he closed the door. Then he led us to the sofa and we took seats.“I know that you have many questions. I will try to answer them as easily as possible.” (Akatsuki)He took a breath and said. He actually knew that we would ask him many questions.“So, who are you?” I cou

Random thoughts
Hello. Nice to meet you. I am the author and the narrator of this god forsaken and bad story.I generally don’t interfere with the story however, I messed up so badly that I had to interfere not once, not twice but three times.It just happened because I messed up the pacing. I put so many traits in this story, so many cliches that messed the story that I had to restart.I would say that the reboot is going well however I am getting impatient. I don’t have a specific ending planned.Who am I kidding? I am a guy who is spending his time, aimlessly for the last 250 billion years.So yeah, I want a break. I think at the end of the story, I would invite Akatsuki.He is basically my better half and we would have a nice chat. After that, I would quit as an author and go on a trip. My shut in days have continued long enough. It’s time to face reality which I totally despised.Now let’s go back to the story. Akatsuki has met Medea and the Valkyries. Last time, I didn’t give their party a nam

Unraveling the mystery
The three of them are fully equipped. Two days have passed since then. They are going there again to investigate.“Should we really go back?” (Aisha)“Yes. That’s a mystery. As adventurers, we can’t let a mystery stay a mystery. We have to unravel it and take the treasure.” (Belle)“You two just want the treasure!” (Aisha)Aisha was spot on. Belle had her eyes on that sword and Leah just wanted the branch of the world tree.They left albeit Aisha was reluctant.

That sounds like a legend.” (Belle)“But it does. Now, let’s get moving.” (Leah)Leah was unusually enthusiastic. Probably because of the mystery.They keep walking but something entered their sight.
