Prologue

~~Strong rattling and vibrations simultaneously create feelings of worry about failure and death. All the prayers of 3 different people were whispered in each other's hearts to simply gain mortal peace. The space capsule is currently hurtling at an average speed of 30,000 km/hour, penetrating and passing through points in the Earth's atmosphere that have been perforated due to being hit by space objects repeatedly.

The crackling and vibrations slowly calmed down. The capsule I'm currently in is moving more and more in balance. I couldn't take my eyes away from the view in front of me which was now bordered by glass made of diamonds that were polished and shaped in such a way.

Earth. My house. I left it.

The earth that was mutated by a mysterious comet, the earth that has turned into a strange and dangerous place after a meteorite fell, the earth where I lived, now I leave it. My memories, my stories, even my lover. I left everything there.

The capsule I was in was now far enough away to be able to see this beloved planet perfectly. And at the same time, 3 celestial bodies that were slightly larger than the moon were moving at high speed towards it. The object's flame tail was clearly visible from here. All three hit the earth, creating a deadly explosion that scorched 7 continents and dried up the oceans at once.

I closed my eyes, avoiding the terrible sight. My heart throbbed with pain remembering the fact that there were still many people who were stubborn and remained there, accepting their deaths with astonished expressions.

This incident can't be denied. Even though it has been predicted, nothing will be able to stop it. Sometimes I wonder, is it right to try to survive and leave millions of souls there?~

"Somehow I remember the last part of the novel." Satriya laughed sadly. He was making sure the knot of the rope he was hanging from was securely fastened.

Maybe Satriya feels quite appreciative of the main character who continues to try and struggle in all the rottenness and despair of his world.

The smartphone lying on the floor displays an information page from the official website of a famous university. The sentence 'congratulations, you passed UTBK¹ and were accepted at...' will not move his heart to stop the action he is about to take. Moreover, another message warning him to immediately pay the hospital debt, made him even more angry and wanted to end everything immediately. They didn't succeed in saving a life, they didn't even try, why should he bother paying for that insincerity?

Satriya is tired. He wants to end everything.

So today, he stepped onto the chair, stuck his head in the knot of the rope, and kicked the chair until he was hanging and his breath slowly became shallow and exhausted.

His life has ended in this world.

***

But that was only in his old world.

Satriya never thought that God would give him a second chance to learn more about the meaning of life.
