I was hoping to find more about him. But it didn’t happen.The vision is abruptly stopped and I am at a different place.A garden with a lot of trees. There’s a person sitting on a stump, reading a book. The scene straight out of a fairly tale but it gave me the chills.He looks at me. I froze. My throat dried up. My heartbeat became faster. It’s as if I was afraid of him.“You are doing something wrong, young lady. You shouldn’t peek through the memories of the dead. Serus won’t like it.” He tells me. I am listening to him. But I can’t comprehend his words.“You will remember your encounter with me. When you leave this place, look back on this memory and try to think. Serus is not deceased yet. Tell Seina to look for him. And tell him that Kirin told you so.” My vision became blurry and I lost my footing. Maybe I am waking up.I open my eyes and think. Whatever that Kirin guy said, I remember every word of it. I see Mona staring at me.“How much time has passed?” “Not even an hour

Death was my ultimate goal. I did every thing possible so I could to die. I had always thought that death would give my life meaning. I never did anything meaningful. I was always looking for ways to die. But that backfired on me. I did die. My death was swift and painful. My body was truly dead. My soul was trapped in purgatory. I was supposed to serve my sentence there before disappearing. I was content with it. That didn’t happen. My purgatory was invaded. I was alone before someone joined me. He was a young man. He felt oddly familiar and had a similar vibe to Seina. I thought maybe my soul can die as well. I asked him to kill me. He didn’t hesitate or try to talk me out of it. He just killed me. I lost my consciousness. Even my soul can feel pain. The pain was overwhelming. He strangled me to death and broke my neck. I lost consciousness and my pain dissipated. My mind was drifting through vast darkness. There was no end in sight. Was that death? I didn’t see anything like

Melissa brought everyone with her to the place where she sent Serus. It’s a normal home. A normal four room, two floor home you can find anywhere.“Where are we?” (Anais)“This is the place. Serus is inside.”Melissa pushes the gate and enters. Everyone follows. She opens the door. The inside is as normal as the outside. “This is just a normal home. Serus is in his room.” (Melissa)She goes upstairs and opens another door. Everyone followed and saw a scene that confused most of them.Serus is sleeping on a woman’s lap. He is sleeping so peacefully that he seems dead. The woman is caressing his head gently like a mother. What baffled them most is that she looks exactly like Melissa.“What is the meaning of this?” (Mona)“Why is he sleeping on your lap?” (Ariel)“First of all, that’s not me. That’s someone he thought of as the ideal mother.” (Melissa)“Does that mean he views you as his mother?” (Anais)“I guess I fit the vibe. Besides, I wouldn’t mind being his mother.” (Melissa)Mon

Upon their return, they were greeted by Seina with a glum look. They were at Seina’s house. Serus is recuperating and Seina had gone to assist his friends in war.“You are back early. Did something bad happen?” (Melissa)“Azathoth is on the move. He allied with the fallen ones.” (Seina)“That is bad. It’s plain bad. How are you all holding up?” (Mona)As a creator, she understands the gravity of this situation.“Not well. For now, no one has died. Keith is slowly recovering. But Clive is locked in a battle with Yami.” (Seina)Melissa and Mona gasp. It confused the others. “I never thought that even Yami would get involved.” (Melissa)“Exactly. He isn’t the type to wage war for fun. Azathoth must have coerced him into this somehow.” (Mona)“Is this system alright? Did we get attacked?” (Melissa)“No. Not yet. I guess they are avoiding me. Because attacking me first would mean angering three creators at once. They are trying to isolate us.” (Seina)The mood is somber. “Is this war rea

Since Mona was being talkative enough Ratri decided to speak as well.“Can I say something?” (Ratri)After Mona had finished giving her explanation, Ratri raised her hand and asked.“You are finally willing to answer things as well.” (Ariel)“I thought I should share it with everyone. What Serus did while he was in India and what our original plan was? I think you all should know although those don’t matter anymore.” (Ratri)“It does. I want to know how you met Serus and the reason for your obsession with him.” (Ariel)“Me as well. It seems interesting.” (Shizuka)“Me too. He met you after saving me. I want to know what did he do back then.” (Anais)Mona is giving Ratri the go ahead look.“Then let’s start from my origin. I am also an artificial human. I was born around the same time as Serus because my original had died.” (Ratri)“Seina did say something like that before. Are you really similar to Serus?” (Shizuka)“Yes. My original or whom I refer to as my elder sister, Usha, was th
