Chapter 2: The Beginning part 2.

  Shutting my eyes once again. Accepting this as the end of my life. But I realized that it wasn’t normal, and thought. (How am I awake? Hospital doesn’t snow?) I opened my eyes for the last time, and sat straight up to look around.

  To my surprise and confusion, something isn't right. Something doesn't feel right nor normal. Something I can't comprehend in my mind. Confused, worry, weird. So many thoughts, and emotions, fill my mind.

  I look around restlessly. From what I'm seeing it doesn't seem real, it doesn’t even feel like a dream, or a prank. It isn't something that could be explain. But at the same time, it felt realistic. Other than that, it just... just blank... At first, I thought it was white or at least color white or silver... I can’t understand anything.

  No, matter how I see it. Its... Infinity... Is it just infinite? Or finite? I do not know. Deep down, I felt it something beyond that. Beyond math, ontology and philosophy. All kinds of infinite. If I remember correctly, is something similar like Absolute Infinity. Eternity and Hegel and such.

  I felt creepily chills run down my spine. Quickly shook my body like a wet dog, and glanced around, this time the snow-like is falling from the vast space. In a rainy way. But no matter how or where I turn, all I can see are the same things wherever I look.

  Iska: (Where am I? No matter how you look at it. Literally nothingness.)

  Feeling utterly weird, and amuse, I raise both my hands. Letting the snow stock up. With enough snow, I lower my arm. Looking closely, I was surprised that it wasn’t snow? But something completely different. It was like, an orb. A pure colorless orbs. So small like a piece of sand.

  Blink a few times before looking back, trying to figure out what I'm seeing. (Yeah, I don’t get it.) Feeling shaking I throw the orbs or whatever it was. "Y-you must be kidding...?" I glance around restlessly.

  I look at the ground, expect to be full of snow or orbs-like. That didn’t happen, as it hits the pure floor, the orbs itself get absorbed, disappearing. Not melting, not stacking up. Just... Non-existent.

  Drop to my knees I touch the floor, moving my hands around to see if I'm actually crazy. There’s no way that many orbs disappear just by landing? All I felt was softness, so soft that you do not need a bed and pillow.

  Feeling defeated I just... Gave up. I wanted to laugh; I didn’t. I didn’t even feel like talking. Sighing defeated, I stood up, brushing my knees and thighs. “Wait? Why am I even brushing it?” Examine my arms, body and even clothes.

  They are the same as before death? "Seems I still wearing the same clothes." The same hospital clothes. So, I touch myself examining if this isn't actual dream once again. As you expected, I could. Not just that, I could still feel, touch, breathing, see anything.

  Iska: “Wow, when finally calm. You get surprise no matter what...”

  Look around and examine myself for the last time. I decide to walk. “For some unknown reason. You know, let shut up. How is this... Possible?” Shut myself this time. It just so confusing... DeJa-vu? Let just walked.

  Didn’t take a single step. I’m scare. Like? What if I just disappear? Or a monster spawn out of nowhere. Even walked eternal?!! Walking around in circles I finally made up my mind. (Might as well take a random choice.) Yes, that’s the choice I made up. I’m fuck either way.

  Slap both of my cheeks and take a random direction. (This place... Is not a dream... No matter how many times I think about it.) Rub my arms then my neck. “I don’t feel thirsty or anything. How much has time past?” Accepting this reality. Reminds me of any fantasy fiction. When a protagonist dies. They get transfer to another world. Thinking such thing my feet stop.

  Iska: "Am I going to?" *I look up again, looking around restlessly, but nothing happens as always* "Honestly, if it's like that. I'll be happy."

  I imagine myself with a harem of beautiful girls, or with princess or any type. Meeting important influence. Fighting against gods, goddess, entities, deities or such. I also imagine myself, transfer into my favorite fictional whether games, stories or movie.

  More importantly, I'm somewhat excited to go to another world. Where the ratio of male and female are unbalanced. Where there's more female and less men. I'll be the harem king!! But at the same time, I somewhat don’t like it now.

  It's okay, but it doesn’t feel pure love or such. It's not that I support polygamy or not. It really depends on why do I want it. Do I want it for sex or more girlfriends and wives only? Or is it for pure love to treat everyone equally. Not in a sinful way?

  That’s for me to decide when the time comes, I think I already made my mind. But who knows if that would really happen. I have to think other things. Something I hate so much... Something I would always hate to my death. But I am dead though?

  Anyways, the thing I hate the most are NTR and cuckold. I completely hate those. “...! I hate it.” I need to think what to do if that happens. Should I kill both of them or what? I mean, I really hate to admit it. I read and watch a lot of them to counter it, if it ever happens to me.

  Yes, it weird and fake, I really dislike it. But reality isn’t kind, I seen many of both gender cheat one after another. Some making money out of it. There could be in strip clubs and such. I do want to say that not everyone does it for fun. I also view some possible perspective way, that they need money for their sick parents or such.

  The possibly is finite, like donation, state, leaders and such are not so perfect. There are scams and such. There’s a saying, all men or women are the same. Does that mean all anime fans are weird? Or race all mean or good or such?

  Iska: “Ah, what was that?"

  Somehow, I remember those words? What was it before I woke up? Hmm, too much thinking. I need to think what to do if I did reincarnate. Anyways, I'm also afraid to become a girl or something else. Honestly, if I did become a girl. I’ll go after woman, no way in hell I'll date a guy.

  In fact, if possibly I become some sort of royalty princess or such. I’ll break off the engagement to the guy, if I can’t. I would run away from home. If it does not work, just kill me. Wait? I could fake my own death. Well, wait, I need to talked to my other worldly parents. If that doesn’t work. Go with my plans.

  Iska: “Haa, so much thinking.”

  Anyways, next. Animals or anything similar to it. I am honestly fuck either way, mostly if its weak. I'll be in any hierarchy of the food chain. Whether top or bottom. Anything could happen now that I think about it.

  Whether it be a normal human or demi-human, entities, object or any type. I’m fuck either way. Too many bad words, so much... Stress. Hold my hands and praying that none of this could happen. Finish prays, I look around, but suddenly something caught the edge of my left eye.

  Suddenly a figure could be seen the corner of my right eye. Baffle, I ran away but no matter how many times I ran with all my strength, the figure quickly approaches. (How the fuck...! No, it's not the time to think. Just run, run!) Stepping up my speed, I push past my limits.

  I do not know how much time has passed. I could still sense its presence. “Tsk, this is annoying.” Out of nowhere it spawns in front of me. Scare, I try to step back but stumble, falling to the ground hitting my buttock. “Guh!?” Rub it, ow, it hurts, but at the same time it doesn't.

  No, it's not the time to worry about a small pain. I need to worry what’s in front of me. (...Eh...?) Flap of wings echo around me. “Haa, you sure are annoying.” I felt my eyes cold while my jaw drop. Pure white wings, long-feather, beautiful eyes that could freeze time and space. Something, very mysticism that we could never comprehend its beauty.

  ???: “What? Never seen an angel before?”

  Iska: “Eh?”

  ???: “Don’t give that “eh’” surprise look.”

  Flabbergast by its angelic appearance, an entity that has been mentioned in different states, country, and story. A mythology, myth and religion entity. I’m surpise by its personality.

  What seems to be, he wears a white robe, with armor and long stripes. Two long white wings, its hair is long brown curly-hair men hairstyles, and brown eyes. “Hey, wake up.” I felt pain on my cheeks.

  Iska: “Ow~"

  Rubbing my cheeks I heard it speak. "Do not be afraid, Iska Fuyu." His voice travel throughout the space. "Or should I say... Anthony Gutierrez." Iska froze upon hearing unfamiliar name. (Huh? Who’s that? I don't remember having a name like that?) He turns back to the entity.

  Though the entity gave him an expression that say. What, got a problem. So, Iska looks away and try to remember. (Feels familiar.) To his surprised, for some reason he could remember every single memory since birth. Quickly shook his head sideways, and investigative his own memories, trying to find anyone who had call him by that name. But no matter how many times he investigates; he couldn't find anyone who call him that.

  ???: "It's another you. But also, you." *It's spoke once again*

  Iska: "What? What do you mean by that?" (It's me but not me? What does he mean?)

  ???: "Different... Split... One... Time..."

  Tilt his head. "...What-" Before Iska could ask any more question. A shock of electric ran through his whole body. Memories started to flood through his mind. All the way when he was born, and all the way to his death.

  ???: "Tch, can't believe it's coming back. All we have to wait for the other to write."

  Iska: "W-what's... Are there memories... That I don’t remember. But now… I... do?”

  Feeling intense pain, Iska spit as his mouth taste rusty. (Yal! Why did it taste salt and blood?) The angel continues speaking without carrying. Iska tries to listen, but the pain and sudden taste distract him.

  The entity sighs annoying. “Tch, why now.” And snap its finger. Iska body ease, feeling weird his eyelids slowly lift. Iska glance around wondering what’s going on. “What’s going... On... Geh!” Iska jumps back hitting the back his head.

  If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.

  ???: "I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God, and I was sent to speak to you. To bring you this good news.”

  Silent fill the space. Iska eyes widen, for many reasons. (Its... Wait, did he just ignore-No, what’s going on?) He punches himself almost knocking himself. He looks back at the entity, finally noticing it appearance. And somewhat remembers the name he just heard, Iska felt like something hit him.

  Iska: "God... Angel? Gabriel...?" *I look at him once again, taking his appearance and mumble* "A message of God..."

  Iska for the first time felt throbbing in his chest. He wonders why at first but make out why. It was because of that, that Gabriel himself, a message of God who tell great news to people in person.

  I shouldn’t say great news but important. Only when God tell him to deliver, when it’s something important. That what I learn and study. What’s important to me is... Why does he seem so completely different from what I imagine?

  If I remember correctly, he was described a bit different based on different text. But to me, just like angel, devils, demon and other entity are ineffable. I mean they are described and ranked but they are completely different. In form, rank appearance and power. Like a dragon angel, fox angel, or slime angel. We just don't know, how they actually looked.

  Gabriel: “Please do not be afraid, for I am Gabriel a mes-“

  Iska: “-Ah, I’m not afraid. I am surprised; I couldn’t speak. It just so unbelievable that I got to meet a real angel, moreover an angel I heard about. Gabriel himself who’s a message that God use for importance message.”

  Before Gabriel could continue speaking, he was interfering by Iska who’s continue speaking non stopping. Not letting Gabriel speak.

  Iska finally comes to realize he went overboard. Instantly shut his mouth and look away feeling embarrassed. He glances at Gabriel with twisted expression then around, Iska finally spoke.

  Iska: “…I’m s-so sorry. I talked too much, when I get too... Excit-”

  Gabriel: "-Just shut up..."

  He rubs his temples said annoyed. Ah... I just got a bad review. I-I can't help it, I really do talk a lot when it's about something interesting, or something that I like. No wonder, I do not have any friends. Seeing Iska depressed, Gabriel clears his throat to break the silence and continue speaking.

  Gabriel: "Enough. I brought good news for you from our lord."

  Iska: (Good news from God itself?) *Iska ears peak like a dog* “O-okay, what kind of news?”

  Gabriel: "Just shut up and let me talk for once. You such a child."

  Iska: "I'm not a child-"

  Gabriel: "-Just shut up."

  Iska instantly shut his mouth for once. Feeling slumped he stood back up and clap his cheeks. Glancing back at Gabriel while feeling the heat on his cheeks. (Finally.) Gabriel thought. “Iska, you’d be the one to decide after explaining.” Iska tilts his head, looking confuse?

  But before he could ask any questions he was interrupted. (I wonder... If it’s real.) While thinking about it. Gabriel started to talk about being reincarnated to a new life and sending me to a world call [Halo Ring]. When I heard the name, I imagine a "Dyson sphere" from type 2 civilization? Huh?

  Iska & Gabriel: "So am I-" "-I'm not finished. So shut up."

  My lips were seal. “HM?!” (Uh? This is... Really happening. Oh my gosh!! Ga!) Being looked by Gabriel. Iska composes himself. Though he wonders if this is some magic or power.

  The world is 20x bigger than earth and has 3 rings. 3 powerful rings around it, to not be destroy by powerful attack or any sort of. “Wait what?” Iska was so surprised that he froze. But pull himself back.

  Iska: (This is exactly like those fantasy, or another world type of genre. Ah! I need to calm down. Hoo-Aaa Hoo-Aaa)

  Relaxing my reckless image. I continue to listen Gabriel. [Halo Ring] just like fictional, it will have such as magic, sword, dungeon, monster, and many more that you can think of. Which Iska knew about it. He just wonders how they looked.

  I’ve seen a lot of them, I know how they looked. The problem is. How do they look like? Just like dinosaurs, we do not know how they looked like. Yes, we have studied the skin, bone, the fossils and such. But do we know that’s how they looked?

  What if something is missing. What if they just ignore a big or small part of it. Even now we have not even explored one of the dense forests and such. Some are correct and some are not. I guess things isn’t what we expect.

  Either way, we have our own interpretation in all things. "I-I have to calm down." I mutter to myself. Even though I say that my heart throbs. It really is. I am really going to be reincarnated.

  No, wait. I need to know if I’m going to be a female or animal or be a noble or something. Demon king of course, I wouldn't be. I am pretty much killing though if it's for balance then I don’t mind. Iska could image girls around him.

  Wait wait!? How would I even look? No, enough questions I need to listen. I’m afraid though. Raa! Anyway, I must focus and listen carefully.

  Gabriel then told Iska that [Halo ring] will have different race that will look like human which are call demi-human or kin, such as human, demi-human, beast, spirit, demon and angel, etc.

  Iska also thought how they look? Beast man. Are they like us with only their parts like ears, tails or such, or a humanoid with fur on whole-body. Are demons the same with only horns or different appearance. Same as angels? But what about spirit, are they in material or immaterial.

  Gabriel & Iska: “Now then, I need to remind you on something.” “Yes, what-” “-Shut up, I’m the one who’s talking.” (Wow, he sure ignores hates me.)

  Gabriel: *takes a deep breath* “Listen, as you know. We are angels too right.”

  Iska: “I do.”

  Gabriel: "So don't you dare! Put us together!"

  Iska: "I-I got it! Just calm down!" (Wait? Why is he mad) “Um, why are-”

  Gabriel: “-We’re not the same.”

  He said simply. Gabriel then explains why. Angels, like Gabriel were created by God first. Yes, we to were created by God though in a way that the angels are like us humans, while True Angels like Gabriel are mysticism.

  In a mysticism way that lives in God name and serve it. As well as its first creation as being, entities and deities. And demon, not those type of demons who are call demonic of fallen angels and such.

  Iska: “So, if I'm correct. True angels or such are the first generations. The Primordial and the ultimate and prime?”

  Gabriel: “Yes, you can include that retard satan. He’s also a primordial one.”

  Iska: “Ah, so there's True Demons of a race that serve God?”

  Gabriel: “Yes, there True Spirits and such and they have ranks like us. The word does not specifically talk about them but how to be save, what to do, what would happen and such.”

  Iska: (Makes sense.)

  Gabriel: “And like that idiot. Those who rebelled against God are call the fallen or imperfect and such. Or true imperfect whatever you want to call it.”

  Iska: “So, still True demonic?”

  Gabriel nodded. I look up or down? Whatever I'm hanging? Wait, why am I being hang? Why is there a scaring-looking shark? or something underneath or top of me? "H-Hii!” Iska yelp and try to curl up. As a giant shark jump out of the water or... Silver water?

  A shark that felt like a giant planet emerge from the silver sea. With its mouth wide open, it tries to bite Iska but miss by an inch and fell back into the sea splashing a large tsunami. “Whhyy!” Iska looks at Gabriel, pleading for him to stop. But he just grins evilly. “You de-Ahh!!" Iska was dropped in the water before he could say anything. When drop in the silver sea, he was drag and bitter multiple times...

  Iska: *sob* "That's scary..."

  Gabriel: "You better not mix us."

  Iska nodded, Gabriel, satisfied with his answer smirk. (This demon!) This bastard. Iska couldn't forgive this de-I mean him. He was drag around and toss like a rag dog. The shark even swallows him in its stomach and came out the other side.

  Iska: “A-anyways. Let's move on. Please.”

  Gabriel: “Fine...”

  He moves around for a bit; he lift his right hand and with its index finger he taps the space itself. *crack-crack* Crack appear on the space before it burst into small fragments, disappearing. There it shows an image-like. (Is that a status?) No, it a screen.

  What was shown was a tree and 6 sphere around it like a solar system. (What is this?) In my eyes it looks normal nothing special to look. Just a tree and 6 sphere around it in a pure space.

  Glancing at Gabriel, Iska felt something that, that image that he is being shown isn’t something to be looked down upon. (What is it though.) Deep in thought Gabriel spoke out, pulling Iska back to reality.

  Gabriel: “Want to know what’s this.”

  Iska: (This guy really wants me to beg.)

  Seeing Iska serious Gabriel spoke in a boring tone. “You’re no fun.” Iska hearing this felt a bit heated, his fist cling wanting to punch him. “Who’s the one killing me.” Gabriel shrugs like it not his problem.

  Gabriel: “This is the cosmology.”

  Iska: “The cosmology?”

  Gabriel: “Yes, though it looks different what it seems. In a way it's like apophatic theology. This image isn’t real but pure interpretation of what gave us.”

  Iska: “Wow... Wait, then-”

  Gabriel: “-I know. Let's just say those 6 days are metaphor. We also debated how it looks so we went with this image. Who know what else is out there.”

  Ah, so the bible of creation is just a metaphor. Though that doesn’t make sense since, the bible sounds more of a universal scale. Not in a multiverses or philosophy scale; like Plato, tegmark, and other sizes.

  Gabriel: “Having doubt, no Fuyu~ You shouldn’t doubt it.”

  Iska: “N-no, I am not. It just... I mean it's unexpected.”

  Gabriel: “For you. It sounds fictional.”

  Iska: “Yeah.”

  If those words were written down in the bible everyone would dismiss it, well not really. Honestly, mythology and religion do have crazy things in it.
