[V2/C0] HALF WORLD - TEASER

*STARES DOWN*

In a void where black and white collide, a girl with a blurry image descended, asking your name.

"What's your name?"

She then further questioned.

"What are you doing here?"

Her voice is very smooth with a tinge of roughness and elegance. The moment she finished asking the 2nd question, she remained neutral, waiting for a reply.

"------"

"Oh, so that's why you're here."

*SMIRK*

She let out a grin as she got the answer she was looking for.

"What about those ants behind you?

What's their purpose for coming here?"

Her voice then started to sound more mature as she said the 3rd question.

*SHAKING IN FEAR*

".... So you guys are probably intruders right?"

With a mouth that cannot speak with the intense fear of knowing who they are currently talking to, the devils behind the 1st questioned Goddess are profusely shaking and melting away in horror upon looking at the girl's blurry image.

"W-we! We've come in pea-?!"

As one of the representatives of the devils started to speak out, suddenly, his mouth vanished without any appropriate reason.

"MMM?!"

Unable to let out a single audible voice to explain themselves. The girl who stood above them all smiled with a gaze crazed for slaughter.

*SMILE*

"Hahahaha... I've already given you a chance to speak out.

*MURDEROUS GLARE*

I take no second chances."

Glaring at the devil who spoke out, her eyes glinted a black and white particles of light.

*DISINTEGRATES*

With just a glare, the 4 winged devils have already been neutralized, most likely pulverised into tiny black particles.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you.

*SNICKER*

Everyone who ends up dying in this space will die permanently, with no hope of coming back to life. Even a God of the Null Rank wouldn't be so confident to take a gamble as to offend me in my domain."

Letting out a snicker, she started to crave more violence.

"Hahahaha, now then. We have 2 baby giants and a bunch of fireflies hanging around in my domain. Whatever shall I do?"

She contemplated for a while acting cute in front of the masses.

*SNAPPING FINGERS*

As she made up her mind, she snapped two of her fingers together, making a sound using her left hand; in that mere instant, all of them started hallucinating.

*WONDERING ABOUT*

With every step they took, they kept triggering deadly mechanisms like being pierced by sharpened rocks, being burned to a crisp, drowning in toxic water, a mass poisoning which equals wonderful music.

*SCREAMS*

*SCREAMING*

"Ah~ now that's music to my ears. Those dirty little creatures should know their place before entering uninvited.

*LOCKS GAZE*

While enjoying the screams and terror, she then locked her gaze towards the undaunted Goddess right in front of her.

"Mhm~? Are you not afraid?

You know, I only kept you alive because you're quite an amusing test subject."

*AVERTED GAZE*

Averting her gaze towards the long-lasting scream of the beings right in front of her, writhing in agony, she kept looking at them like some sort of filth. Her eyes started showing a hint of disgust; under the prying curiosity and murderous intent, she kept her composure and didn't want to stand out of line, for her domain is not that perfect and still has some flaws which is hard to find unless you're much more powerful than the caster itself.

"Those filthy bugs will die off in any minute now, so we should probably change our location.

I'm already bored of hearing bugs writhing in pain.

*TURNS AROUND*

Now~ now~ Let's go~!"

With childlike actions and a voice that has no end of disguises. The Goddess in question, who was spared from her wrath, started planning her escape.

"Sure."

The Goddess answered with a cold voice.

*HEAD TURNS*

Hearing her answer, the girl floating in front of the Goddess showed more interest in her than before.

*SMILE*

"I like you. You should really be my test subject."

Her smile doesn't look like it belongs to an innocent girl but more like a twisted and sinister one.

*LIFTS*

Lifting the black side of space right above them. She then flipped it over 3 times. With every flip, the scenery in that black-and-white space changes according to what she desires.

The first flip, autumn was shown. The second flip, winter was shown. Lastly, after the second flip, she halted.

With the space being changed, the crowding flies right behind the Goddess have all vanished right before the first flip.

With the emergence of the third flip, morning came out rather warmly, the trees have also started singing. Birds have also started chirping.

The place is now filled with the scent of uncorrupted nature.

The girl with the blurry image started throwing off another set of questions.

"Do you know why I picked this place?"

"..."

The only answer the girl received was silence.

"So you don't know... Anyways, I've chosen this kind of season because of what it usually reminds me of."

"..."

There was only silence between the two, with no spark of conversation; the girl tried to lead it for the Goddess to open up.

"This season has 3 meanings. Rebirth.

Renewal and lastly, Awakening.

In human terms, they call this season. Spring."

The girl noticed that the Goddess wasn't paying her any attention, so she decided to threaten her.

"Hey. If you're not going to talk in the count of 5, I'll have you know what true death truly means."

Hearing the death threat, the Goddess finally answered, undaunted by her threat.

"You should show yourself first before I answer any more of your questions."

The girl frankly just noticed how rude she is for not showing her face so she decided to undo the veil surrounding her.

*UNVEILING*

While unveiling herself. The Goddess's eyes widened as she slowly depicted the full image of the girl in front of her.

'This can't be...

You mean to say that woman and the half-world are one?'

As if the woman who revealed herself knew what was going on in the Goddess's mind, she replied grinning at the Goddess.

*GRIN*

"So you've come to finally know who I am, huh?"

The blurry image of a child was suddenly replaced by a woman wearing a black empyrean dress.

Her short stature earlier became that of an adult, with a slender figure; her beauty is so captivating that it makes it out of this world.

Her long black hair represented itself as the guide of the starry night sky amidst the ongoing chaos.

With one look, the Goddess was frozen in place, puzzled as to what she'd do to escape the woman's clutches.

The woman locked her eyes, which were as clear as the deepest ocean in the night, onto the frozen Goddess.

"If I'm ever pleased with you playing as my test subject, I'll give you some hints on who's the other holders of the Unique Forbidden Manuals."

As she heard her declaration, the Goddess started getting anxious about what kind of deal she was being given.

"And what if I fail to live up to your expectations?"

The Goddess replied, pretending not to be shaken nor afraid of what came right after.

At that time, the woman in black answered with a dominant smile.

"If you fail to amuse me then. You're to be locked up in here. FOREVER."

*SNICKER*
