A seed contains nothing but an undeveloped plant that would probably survive if you leave it alone. A seed can also include the meaning of something hidden between the words you create. A seed flourishes after a long time of caring for it.Life is also the same when it comes to development. I developed myself with the people who taught me things that I lacked. Sometimes, this knowledge can be helpful when you’re talking to other people to express something that would make them happy when you did some kind of expression that would satiate their desire to be understood. Atelier said that humans sometimes hide their pain in the smiles they show in front of others. It is a sad fact that changes the spectrum of emotion. Happiness is supposed to be full of joy and not some kind of farce that hides the pain of one. But I guess it’s okay… Since the pain that one experiences may be something that needs to be secreted into the starry sky and never to be seen by others. The twinkling lights in t
Hmm… What should I say? Was it worth it to actually do something stupid with my power when I could ask my magic will to stop time around me with the sphere, and it would create the same effects, not just by slowing the time with different spheres so it could have the same effect? I guess it's a lesson for me not to waste my mana for something stupid. I should actually start saving my mana; after all, there might be a sudden change to Seraphim's plan and ask me to fight something that I need so I can use my power continuously. Haaa… I'm waiting for that to happen to say that my prediction was on point. "What should I say… I guess it's fine now since you've passed with flying colors." "Then I'll be able to watch a movie now?" "I guess so, but since you've wasted three days here, that is equivalent to 17 days in the real world. I guess we need to fast-forward this." "Eh… 17 days? I thought that we just got here?" "Didn't I tell you that the time here differs from the real worl
…… [cheerful music plays in the background.] The chattering of the high-ranking officials in the side of the hall talking about their winnings and improvement for the preparation for the next war. Everyone is focused on the ball while the officials talk about their next battle against the other race. Life of humans are fragile, and don’t have the chance to revive themselves compared to the other races that have this so-called reincarnation in their blood. Humans are far weaker creatures but more advanced and much more cunning than the magic-reliant races. Everyone wanted to end this war that was still raging for a millennium after the death of the angel they once revered. The solemn faces of the people around the ball make me sick. A party is meant to be a joyful occasion, yet everyone is planning how to improve their defenses around the 50m walls they erected a century ago. [A crackling sound in the magic circle in the woman’s hand .] My magic seems more overpowered than the las
‘Ding!’ ‘Ding!’ ‘Ding!’ The sound of the first bell in the morning to the city of Zekishtalian awaits a brighter day in the joyous city that brings life to every corner of the town. The smell of freshly cooked food comes from the chimneys of every house, waking up to cook for their loved ones. The smell of freshly brewed coffee on the first street lies Zero waiting for Seraphim early in the morning. He was sitting at the last table on the east side of the street—Zero lying in waiting for Seraphim for the second bell of the church and carefully looking at the faces of everyone that walks in the road that has their face covered with a cloth, eagerly waiting, taking little bites between the long bread that he bought in the coffee shop. As he looks in between the people that pass by, he gives time to look at the clock tower to see if it is already noon. ‘Tick…’ ‘Tock…’ ‘Tick…’ ‘Tock…’ Many were looking at Zero as they found him weird. The customers and also the servers were all g
The peaceful afternoon of the two reading a book on the sofa with their shoulders touching each other. The smell of burning wood in the distance as the smell traveled to the tiny houses in the mountainside and the mansion of Seraphim. The chirping of the birds that had entered in the opened window. The sunlight that reflected a small pond of the fishes created an illusory shadow on the polished floor of the library. It’s a peaceful life indeed. “Ah!” Seraphim found something in the book that she’s been reading. The book she’s reading contains the structure and identification of how to properly execute an analysis of the magic will of a person. This analysis process helps identify a person's status effect involving body contact to assimilate the status correctly. The book cover was a plain red leather titled ‘Assessment Of The Human Magic Will: Vol 1’. Its author was unknown. With Seraphim finding something inside the book. She couldn’t help but make a loud sound that echoed throug
The life behind the barracks of the soldiers who are incapable of making their magic will cooperate with them as their minds have already shattered from the trauma they’ve endured during their long servitude to what they thought was a righteous act. [The chattering of the soldiers in the background.] Early morning, Seraphim and Zero visited the soldier's barracks to find the Sword hero. The Sword Hero is one of the strongest heroes alongside the mage hero. The newly appointed sword Hero has devastating strength that can instantly destroy an army with a single thrust of his phoenix flame. Many of the soldiers who witnessed the Sword Hero said that the flames were much brighter than the sun as they could instantly disintegrate any enemies that would get hit. Many rumors are circulating about the Sword Hero that he was a cold-blooded person when he was in battle. But Seraphim knows who truly is the Sword Hero deep inside since he’s the first person that Seraphim trusts alongside the Gu
Branch Memory - 01/ Reconstruction/ Reformist/ … 03 The eyes of a God are said to be the likelihood of the one that oversees our world. The God that we revered once, where our ancestors found an Angel, is more likely to be a counterpart that became self-aware of its surroundings and was able to alter its aggressive attitude when it found happiness residing in the Alps within the caring and loving animals that surrounded him when it started gaining awareness. The Angel was the malevolent God's counterpart for the world that lacked magic. Its purpose of dying was to spread the pores to the creatures that lack the ability to create their own magic. Thus, creating a different mind appeared as the magic has its own will. The Malevolent God was pleased with the action that the humans in this world were able to kill the doppelganger and spread its pores around the world, altering the course of life of two souls that were once one. Its life was not supposed to meet with the other.
[The eyes of God are looking through the entrance.] [A magic circle has been activated.] In the cage of wind that Seraphim had created, a vortex of blood had appeared outside them, submerging them with it. The cell winds that Seraphim had created were acting as a shield for them. The voices of the damned were screaming through the cell, banging and crying to let them enter. Zero witnessed it while lying in the middle of the magic circle. Seraphim reassured him by placing her hand in his hand, holding it tightly as she continued the assimilation process of creating a synthetic magic will with an unknown spell. Using the blood-drawn magic circle and the nature of the magic on the island, Seraphim utilizes all the power to create a much more potent synthetic will. The original synthetic will was created only with a usual magic circle with the power of the creator and the heart of the corrupted choice of the person. Using this method, Seraphim can create a much more advanced synthetic
Flure’s POV: The colors I see in my eyes are strange. Spheres of various colors floated around, with cogs and rings shaping it into a watch-like structure. I could tell the time of people merely by gazing at the colors that everyone emits in this unique eye that I have. I've watched many people's time pass and disappear, just to be replaced by a door of a different hue and structure. I cursed my eyes because even if they could see the colors and the remaining time of everyone, it wasn't useful and only distracted me from the world. The doors of the dead, which come out of nowhere, have an eye-catching green and black radiance. Opening it leads to another world, the person's life etched on the door. My eyes aren't beneficial. It became the foundation of shame and dread I tried so hard to conceal it under my cheerful smile and quips. Whenever I see a clock on a person's haze that emanates a brilliant glow, I can sense the end of their time, revealing a stopwatch. I tried to catch it,
Amid life's equation, death blooms, and music and illumination emanate from the gentle glow that encompasses everyone and cherishes them all. A sun as pale as the souls of everyone hides in the corner, embracing everyone at the tower's entrance. Turning around, I saw kids my age eagerly making their way up to the tower, aspirations and dreams stoked by the blaze of desire. “Self conquers the first and of victory.” was engraved over the entryway of the tower. Symbols of God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit fuel the tower's surroundings. Recognition of the God revered by the tower's creator. A profound line of teaching that adorns the tower with the creator's immense pleasure and joy, signifying his love for his God. Then, I noticed two colossal rings encircling outside the boundary of this world. Nothing within my line of sight allowed a clear view of the distant structures where this tower was constructed; only the children walking towards the entrance and the sand they tread upon we
“Ah. Your future is yet to be determined, slowly fiddling amassed of different consciousness.” He slowly raised his right arm and swayed it around. “You can hear it—the voices of the world. Slowly drawing you in the far shore. Leering fear. Captivating.” The winds blew as fast as the bird's flight. It only lasted for about a second, as if teasing you with its cold and hapless emotion. As I listened to Abelard’s talk, my chest began to beat a little bit faster. “You’re still a child. Although in mind. Your soul is pure, filled with endless desire, but filled with storm—a strong will to live and be born anew.” “What do you mean by that?” I asked. “It means that you’re a soul filled with avarice. You’re soul is white as pure but tainted with avarice. That’s what I’ll say to you.” He began to change his foresight. The world began to shape and change as if he was altering it. “Ah. You’re a lost cause of humanity living amongst ye humans. How’d you wandered here, I wonder.” Abelard sai
→ The story revolves around the wondrous epiphany of a tower. Life, flourishing. Living is detrimental. Souls, unbothered. Killing was a wonder. Death is attrition. → On the contrary. The tower expresses its gratitude towards you as the person who lifted the heights of impertinence. How truly satisfying. Humans would be filled with sorrow and revulsion from the serpentine consciousness of human life to the place called “dreams.” →The precipitous pathway along the twisted vision of scrumptious desire for asceticism on top of the tower. Ascending a top to receive the holy retribution of everlasting gaiety, searching for something, creating something, and dying for nothing. ***** My body drifts away to the field of white egret flowers, slowly drifting to a door where the sun radiates a much brighter light. Ahh…It’s not a place filled with darkness. Memoirs of the past constantly hunt me among the path of emptiness, which has changed to a light that fills that void—caressing my head
Droplets of water on the shower head continue to fall in a second interval. It resounded between the empty monochromatic walls of the bathroom, creating a rhythmic sound. A melodic hymn that resonated in the depths of my heart as if it was part of my bow. Time is a toxic trait that encourages me to turn my eyes to the cycle of life. A toxic devolve of imaginary people playing along in your head as you indulge in the hobby you picked up. It’s probably a bad idea to focus on oneself and forget the others as you go on your journey without thinking of your friends. We couldn’t live on our own since no man is said to be an island. Friends is like a sweet orange. It tastes great when you pick it up at the right time. You’ll know that it's good when the scent can be smelled even without peeling it. But if we decide to forget them, they’ll start to rot and lose their patience and will choose to cut out all ties. Thankfully, my friends aren’t like that, and I’m glad to have them. Haah… Rela
Amidst all the things that happened in the past months, nothing has changed, even a tiny change in the world. The world is still a monochromatic place that we call on as life. Life is flourishing with new faces of people living in this world. Is that their persona? Or was it their faces? I’m still uncomfortable to see the faces of different people living in this world. Seclusion… I’ve probably done it as we’ve got back. I'm playing the violin. An instrument that I found inside a case filled with normal papers and some other crumpled papers tainted with a black and indecipherable letter. Flure was staring at me as I played the notes the same way as it was written. {Hello, since this is the beginning of a new story, my life purpose isn’t complete yet. There was something that I was supposed to do last month, but I decided not to do it since I’m currently preoccupied with the violin. I decided to play this instrument to learn more about the original me. I want to know how amazing I was.
[I could hear the rattling sound of the clouds, reverberating in this colorful world. I can see everything in my eyes now. The blurry vision was gone now and I could see everything beyond the horizon. I can now see the mountain range covering another world that was once blurry in my vision. My hand can slightly move against the thick layer of ice I’m confined with. This place began to glitch, and the person I talked to said he needed to go somewhere. My head feels lighter than usual.] [The wind suddenly became erratic. The ripple it created in the air was so fulminating that it felt like the world fell from heaven. Then I saw his figure in the distance, walking somewhat like a flunk. It came to my mind that he had returned with the green light as it sent waves of heavily restricted words into the sky. His eyes were dead tired from his swollen face, and dark eye bags. He greeted me as if I was a friend on his lonely place.] "Oh, you’re awake already… Did you have a nice dream?” Dēria
“Now. What should I tell you? There’s a lot of things that I wanted to say, but I think it would take a hundred years to actually tell everything to you.” Linus looks so gleeful with a smile that would’ve taken aback every person. It feels like a trek to the path in front of him. I'm still vigilant, but not in a way where I’m wary. I'm still slightly uncomfortable, but it feels weirdly warm when I finally reach him. The identical void in his pupils has a sense of deceit and falsifies anything he says. But for some reason, I feel relatively calm and full of hope maybe because it was about me. It felt like I was walking on a putrid path in one straight line. Every step felt like a mile. Every step felt like I was descending to my own hell. “Ngh…” A cacophony of noise rings my head frantically. The noise inside my head was so unbearable that I had to stop on the track and lay my head again, using pressure from both hands to stop it. I smashed my head in the soil, which had stopped t
“Heh.” The boy had a grim smile when I turned around. There was a hint of disgust and annoyance hidden behind his innocent smile. His eyes were as dark as a void filled with nothing but a hollow death as I stared directly. I tried to wipe off the tears on my eyes, but it continued to create anew. This sense of nostalgia is like I’ve seen one of my close friends. My chest continued to pound uncontrollably from the intense emotion that I was feeling. I’m trembling all over my body. My temperature continues to rise exponentially. Then suddenly, with that sense of relief, my mouth opened with a smile of satisfaction I had never experienced. “I guess your soul would never forget me even though your memories were long gone.” The boy changed his smile to a genuine one. Seeing him smile made my heart pound faster and faster. “You never really understand this kind of emotion, huh? You’re still the same even though I’ve met you countless times in different data.” A musical instrument reso
