Chapter 1: After the end

There were beliefs after death.

There would be a reincarnation after death.

There would be a heaven after death.

For my whole life, I never cared about such things.

Now there I was. Is this so called after death? I was falling into darkness and facing the glowing light. I felt darkness was swallowing me. And the self-awareness I had was fading and fading. 

Had I died?

Instead of anxiety and fear, I relaxed - that finally, so this was the end I was seeking and I believed. For the rest of my life, I sought the end called death. If I keep falling and falling into this darkness, would I disappear ? If so, FALL.

Suddenly , the moment I was on, it stopped. The confusion raised up. In my mind, I was hoping that it was not all a dream. The light that seemed to faint before was glowing. The becoming overwhelming of the light was pulling me into it seem to be void. The pressure of gravitating makes me bring about anxiety about being a dream.

Tricking myself, hoping for a heaven beyond the light - that gives the feeling of happiness after I was longing for it. 

The ride I went along took for Eternity. But now, It seemed I had reached my stop. First of all I saw was darkness. But beyond the darkness there will be a raffle after I open my eyes. With worries and wondering, impatient I was, made forcing my eyes to open strength all I had. Everything around me turned into a bright blur and forced me to shut down every time I tried. Imperceptible sounds make me dizzy. Everything I tried to say was muddy, as it seemed howling. 'Relax' I had to do for first was across my mind. I stopped struggling and thinking. Instead, I concentrated on the darkeness of what I was seeing and feeling what was behind it. After a while, I started to hear

Fumbled Voice shouting " Come here, guys."

The first word I heard clearly made me more concerned and my eyes slowly opened for this time.  Then I saw , in front of me, there were five men who looked like villagers to me as their strange outfits made me to that conclusion. But the surprise was they were holding swords and wearing some armor and the other two were wearing robes and holding long rods like magic wands. At that time, I thought I was in some kind of village. Not completely sure as I was in the cave and glowing blue light crystals everywhere.  The cave was dark and silent, as so maybe night. But fainty fainly lights everywhere seemed to be glowworms giving light as enough. The only fact I had was I had not seen anything like this cave and the crystals. And then, the thoughts came out that I was not in my country or even in my world called earth.

I feel slow breezes that carry an Earthy scent. The scent that came along was a strong smell of smoke from one of five men who carried the Torch. Wondering made lose tracking, but suddenly, 

One of the men was overjoyed 

" Lucky Looked at it . What we found."

As he said , all my hear locked them.

{huh What did he find ?}

Surprised, one of the men with a robe came out from behind and said,

"Oh, it was a rare type of tree Monster. It will give you incredible strength and indefinite health when you eat. I don't think it will be found in Like This dungeon."

{...wait, Monster??? Where???}

Shock came to me when I heard 

" Monster ", so I rushed and looked back and up and around and every corner in this Wide and Dark Cave.  But it seemed there was nothing that looked like a monster to me. As so I 

felt calm and the only thing left to do was to face men and try to say something. I take all the courage from me. The word I chose to start with was "Hello".

With the courage I have, I spoke , the words really came out of my mouth.

Instead , "Howl"

My mind was silent for a while after I heard from my mouth. The shock caused me a scene that I can't believe. 

{Was the sound from me?} 

I tried to escape from reality. But the echo of the sound I hear clearly forced me to accept so-called Reality. 

The men seemed to be alert now. The three men stepped forward and took out their swords and slowly approached toward me. The men with robes muffled something like praying or invoking something. Surprisingly, the flow of wind around them changed and glowing green light and blue light developed and wrapping around them I felt and sawing with awe.

{What are they doing? Where the hell am I?}

The way of their eyes and their behaviour, I came to the point that I forgot to ask what I was being. For the answer, All I needed to do was to feel my body and check my body as it looked like a monster to them?

My vision freezed and was still looking at men.

However , I don't need to know what I was being with the way they looked at me. The man was ten times taller than me. My body feels small. And I couldn't feel normal as my legs and hands confused me a lot. The sensitivity I got over my body did not look like being called a human being.

{Monster?}

I doubtfully I took a look at my body.

Chilling inside me, feeling sad and worried and the burning one called "Fear" surged. My mind had lost my body, notwithstanding I already got an answer.

There I saw, all was green, supposed to be called "My Body"? Instead of arms, hands and fingers, there were moving creepers on either side.

The legs I used to have now couldn't find anywhere. Small and Slimy were correctly described by me. The ground I was touching was a broad, flat figured leg. From my head to that broad flat leg, it seemed to be a rectangle called body? There were no features called neck or any other part of the body. On this rectangle , there was only what I could call eyes and mouth and nose. Now the word "human" was far away from me.

With horror and fear, I called the men,

"Help me"

"Help me"

I repeat and repeat. I beg again and again.

But, from my mouth 

"howl"

"howl"

sounds only came out and men with swords jumped into me.

The tears came out of my eyes. It was always something I could do. Now, here and back there, I am crying. What did I do? What did I do wrong? Is this some kind of curse ? Please let me be free already. God, please help me.

But, my arm, like a creeper, dropped to the ground. The blood, instead of red, the black color, spills over everywhere. And to my face, I could feel they were hot. 

And the worst, I feel insane pain. 

I cry and cry.

The men with robes seemed to finish their incantations. In front of them- a small-very sharp ice-like spike appeared like they, created and were controlling. 

With speed, they shoot it at me.

The sharp ice pierced into the middle of my body. Boundlessness of black blood was flowing outside from a hollow in the middle of my body. I cry and cry.

The voice of my cry was making me blast my whole body. The pain I couldn't endure was killing again and again. The howling I was hearing from mine was making me crazy. Hot, at the same time, cold , fears and anxiety were being felt, but I still had consciousness.

{Are normal humans dead already if the middle of their body becomes hollow? Ah, so I was a monster. }

I fell to the ground. I saw one of the men raise a sword at me.

{Please, It hurts. Don't do it anymore.}

Then, I closed my eyes.

There were beliefs after death.

There would be a reincarnation after death.

There would be a heaven after death.

I hear a muffled voice saying 

" Stop. Don't kill it"

"Why?"

" It was supposed to be eaten raw."

{Ah, there, it was also called hell.}
