Chapter 0: Prologue

[Child, were you happy?]

I could not feel anything. Despite everything, I was at peace. Yet, that single sentence, made me mentally wince. Mentally, because I was unaware whether I even possessed a body.

'No,' I answered. Was I ever happy? Yes, yes I was. When I was with my parents, namely my mother, and when I would hang out with my friends. I was happy then. With a more brilliant than average mind, I believed I could easily make it. But reality…it's often disappointing.

[Do you wish to become better?]

I wanted to say no. I had already given up. I would happily stay here, in this blank space forever, happy and at peace. But I knew it would be a lie.

'Yes! YES! I want a new chance!'

[Then please, take care of my people. My world. My life force has already come to an end.My time is already over, but yours…you still have time.]

'Your people?'

[All you have to say is 'I agree to the contract with the

God of Edenas.']

A hard force seemed to strike my mind. I knew the world of Edenas. Despite not being from such a world, I knew it. Through a novel I had read.

'Still, a second chance, huh?'

What not would someone give for a second chance at life. Even if it was to a world doomed to be destroyed.

'Very well, I agree. If it gives me another chance…I agree to the contract with the God of Edenas!'

Was it an illusion? I think I felt the one addressing me smiling.

[Thank you. Thank you, oh one of another world. A word of advice…]

An oppressive feeling began to engulf me, making me fear for myself. Despite not having a body, I felt death breathing down my neck.

[If you dare to betray my trust, or if you fail at your task, you will not have a pleasant rest. My remnant soul, though devoid of consciousness, will drag you to the nether world, and tear your consciousness apart again and again. Then, I wish you luck, both for yourself, and the ones who believed in me.]

I could not say anything, as if my ability to think, talk, adress, was taken away from me. I could feel the space around collapsing against me, until I finally lost consciousness.
