"Hello, this is the author. I'm guessing that you want to find out what Seraphim was whistling. It is a song entitled "The Way We Were" From a game called Cytus. This title also appeared in chapter 50. It's purpose was to explain how memories work in this fantasy. It's a fun game with good songs."
A single piece of Leaf flew in the air. It swayed with the sudden breeze and flew higher and higher as it reached the clouds of happiness. But the rain's sudden downpour made it impossible for the Leaf to continue to fly. The heavy droplets of rain hit the side of the Leaf, plummeting to the ground. The Leaf had doubted itself now from the dreams of reaching the sky. It rained harder to the place where the Leaf fell. Its pieces were being ripped by the heavy droplets, losing their face. The Leaf was sad as it got torn apart by the heavy rain. Its hope of reaching the skies was now broken, and just accepted its fate. Suddenly, a rabbit appeared and took the Leaf into its home. Its eyes were filled with amazement, not because it was torn but because it was unique. Its color underneath was pale, yet half was full of life. The rabbit dries the Leaf with its fur. It was happy that it told the other two of what it found. They celebrated with the little rations of food they had with the con
[27 May, 10:30 A.M. - Mori’s room.] The days seem to pass by without a care for everything in this world. We played around with our magic. Created a life space within the magic spheres with the children inside the fortress. Imagination was used for all our creations. We were happily laughing with each other. We spent the rest of our day in the middle of the street. “Ngh…” But right now… We’re at the beach for some reason… There were smiles, but I don't remember. There was joy swelling up on my chest, but I don't understand. “How did this even happen?” I was confused. I can’t remember what happened last night after I depleted all my magic, as many kids started playing around the world box. My magic couldn’t sustain such a large amount of simulation of different people, yet they’ve emptied me… We were moving on a carriage. The horse kept making a loud sound but it the sound doesn't throughly pierced from the auburn wood laid as a foundation for the carriage. “Oh? Did you wake up,
“Yay! Splash! Splash!” Mirai cast a heavy barrage of needle-like water. [Blessing of God: Agwa Mereona.] For some reason, a fight broke out between Mirai and Flure thus beginning a colorful sight of magic being cast in the middle of the beach. It sent ripples of waves from below that the ocean floor began convulsing where the water began to rise every time an attack was deflected. [Holy Light: Prism.Excalibur ] [Barrier of Light: Winguar.] It was magnificently beautiful yet terrifying at the same time when I didn't have a clue of what had just happened without my knowledge. If you're in my position, you'd notice how unexpectedly weird that your friends began fighting with each other when you've just taken your nap. You'd stare at them saying, “How did this even happen?!” [1:30 P.M. - In front of a rock after the scene that woke me up.] Hello, Seraphim from the other world; we’re having a laid-back day even though only four days are left. I am sitting in the chair Louis put up ea
The tightening grip of our embrace. To the darkest floor of the ocean, filled with the light of happiness, surrounded by fishes that became an audience to the happiest day of my life. With the doubt and regret being washed away into the ocean floor's calm current, It is the happiest day of our life… Of my life… “~sniffle…” Tiny bubbles started to form on the inside as Mirai began to breathe heavily, and her tears started to pour out. It slowly rises from the bubble that covers our face and left to continue its path, slowly rising. “I brought you your pair of clothes. Do you wanna put it on?” I said as she continued to hug me. She still has her swimwear. I could feel that she was starting to feel cold as she shivered from every second we stayed. “~sniffle… okay.” I gave the clothes to her. It feels comfortable from how it was knitted; it looks rushed, but overall it was okay. Maybe this is one of Seraphim’s clothes. As I gave her the clothes, I looked away as she put on her clothe
[30, May. 3:00 P.M. - Lounging outside of the barrier of Migrianitae.] Hello, Seraphim from the original world. There’s only one day left, and I’m sitting atop the barrier to protect this fortress. The Seraphim of this world used stone ores to create this oversized barrier and continuously function. They had also prepared the machine for me to use that I had only seen yesterday. [Sphere: Time/Apple.] It would be enough to use my powers to restore the world. I’ll do that already before it hits June. Everyone is busy right now while I am here conserving my energy. How are you there right now? The Seraphim of this world right now is so busy, but I am happy to be of use to her. She seems to be satisfied also that I met you and when I told her about Nought. She misses her own Nought in this world right now, but when I told her that I am the soul of Nought, she sighed out of relief. My friends kept acting weird. Mirai is the one acting pretty odd right now because every time I look at he
As I slowly worked my way up to the sound of the book being flipped. Time is slower when you’re thinking of doing something mischievous. One step from the tat. Two steps on the staircase for a mischievous thought. Three steps as I get closed without her noticing my presence. Mirai was too focused on the book that she was reading. I stared at her for a long time, admiring her dedication to reading the book. It was thick, covered in leather, and had a fantastic design style to the front. She was also taking notes on the side as she fumbled her hand on the book’s thick parchment paper. I slowly walked towards her without making any noise. Slow tippy toe movements as I continued to stare at her. Then suddenly, Mirai moved. I started to panic that; I just stood still like a log. Then I noticed that she was just gonna stretch her arms. Maybe she was getting numb because of her position? She continued to read the book. As I slowly made my way toward her, I sat down beside her. Then stared

Returning to Seraphim’s room.] I saunter, still in a daze of what just happened tonight. An experience I didn’t get yet, my heart seems to flutter in a way I haven’t felt in some ways. Ten beats per second. My whole body feels hotter than usual, yet I’m sweating a cold sweat. My mind couldn’t think properly as I walked back to our room. Slowly trying to sink what Mirai had just done earlier to me. I’m troubled; I can’t understand it. I’m trying to think of possible ways I could think of, yet none of them was helpful to me. It all leads back to the image of Mirai kissing my cheeks. I could still feel the softness an
I can see Ataru in the mirror. I could see myself from Ataru’s eyes. Ataru had a white hair and blue eyes. He has the same face as me but looks dead and tired. He also looks malnourished. Ataru was looking at himself in the mirror and was trying to call someone. “Hey, Aki. What should I do now?” {Aki? What does he mean by Aki?} I wondered why he was talking to himself in the mirror and calling a name that I was familiar with. Why does he look tired? Why was he hoping for a release? These questions started appearing as I properly saw Ataru’s image in the mirror. “Is there any way I could change what happened that day? Is there anything I can do to stop these images inside my head? Is there anything I can do to stop myself from remembering those things?” Ataru was starting to get red. His voice is beginning to get hoarse. “Aki… Aki… Talk to me…” {Is this the same Aki I know?} I said to myself. My head was so confused about what was happening and why I was inside someone’s body tha
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
