Limbo! (1)

…

While in a large white room, Icarus looks closely at the owner of the voice he heard earlier – The owner of the voice is a woman

A faint red light surrounds her body and that gives her a mystical air

She looked to be about twenty years old or even a little younger

She has big golden eyes with small greenish patterns and long blue lashes

A small nose and small lips that were red like blood.

She has short hair, which was no more than her shoulders

The color of her hair was a deep blue they seemed to shine under the lighting of the room.

Her skin was a dark golden tone, a skin tone that Icarus had never seen before, but it is very beautiful and suits her.

She is much taller than any other woman that Icarus has ever seen, being about eight feet tall

She had a well-defined body, but still very feminine with large breasts that almost escaped her clothes.

She wears a type of toga that barely covered her shoulders

The toga is not very long and leaves large part of her legs exposed

She is seated on a large white throne, with her chin supported on one of your hands, while looking curiously at Icarus

Icarus is standing, looking at woman, stunned because of her beauty

While looking at Icarus the woman thinks

'Interesting, for some reason the Limbo was unable to extract all his memories!

Let me see, all I know about him is his name, how and why he died... and finally at what point in his life did the incident occur.

That's a lot less information than usual! Well, just that information is enough, so whatever!'

While the woman is lost in thought, Icarus finally recovers from his initial stunning

Then while looking directly into the woman's eyes he says

"Wow, I understand why no one has ever ignored you before! This is because you are such a beauty!"

After hearing the beautiful words of Icarus, the woman who was sitting in silence, smiles brightly at him and says

"Hahaha! You are very good with words!"

"Huehue! I know!"

After saying this, the woman straightens her posture on the white throne

Then she looks at Icarus and with a dignified expression, she introduces herself

"My name is Sakdal and I'm a Goddess! I am responsible for managing the souls of those who have died! I'm sorry to inform you, but believe it or not… you are dead!"

"It's okay, I believe you! After all, I remember the feeling of dying! Besides, I don't care so much about it!"

Icarus replies with a strange face when he realizes that he really died.

"Oh, I'm relieved about that!"

"R,relieved? Relieved with what… my death?"

"Huh?"

"Damn, I barely died and they are already treating me bad! Poor me!"

Hearing this, she stands still without reaction while looking stunned at Icarus

However, this only lasts a few seconds

Sakdal quickly recovers and says

"No, no, that's not what I meant! I'm sorry for that! I ended up being a little rude!

Ahem... I'm not relieved that you died. I'm relieved that you understand that you died and accept that!"

"Huehue! Relax, relax I was just kidding!"

"That was not funny!"

"Huehuehue! Yes it is!"

After laughing for a few more seconds, Icarus looks at the Goddess and asks

"You were relieved that I accepted my death. Is this because, many of who die do not accept this?"

"Yeah, you're right! Many of the souls who arrive here, deny reality and do not believe that they already dead! There are also many cases, in which they accept their deaths, but in return, they keep ask me to send them back to the world they lived in when they were alive! This situation is not much better than the first!"

"Oh... And can you do that for me?"

"Do what?"

"Send me back to the world where I lived before died?"

"NO, I CAN'T!"

"Okay, calm down, calm down! You don't need to freak out! Jesus... I was just asking!"

"Sigh! As I said, these two situations are very common! When they occur, I have no choice but to clean up their memories and get them reincarnated! Something very sad considering the reward that they miss!"

Sakdal says a little sad and frustrated as she looks at Icarus.

"Reward? What reward? Am I also entitled to this reward?"

Icarus asks with a little expectation.

"Hahaha! You are quite energetic for someone who has just found out that he died! Usually those who accept reality have dead eyes and do not show much reaction! However, you are different! You said you don't care so much about it! Are you not sad?"

Sakdal asks with a small laugh as she looks at Icarus curiously

"Well, yeah I'm sad! However, I already died! So, there is no use complaining now! Besides, I died in a very epic way! Although I know a much more epic way to die"

Icarus responds, as he looks away, lost in thought

"It's a very realistic way of thinking! However, I have a doubt… what is the most epic way to die?"

Asks the Goddess with anticipation, while thinking about several heroic deaths she has already witnessed.

"Huh? Oh sure, I tell you! The most epic death is… Die of old age!"

"…"

"This is so epic! After all, to die like this, you have to play very well, that fucked up game that is life!"

Icarus replies, while looking at Sakdal with a serious and philosophical expression.

"Hahaha! You have a very strange way of thinking! Now I became interested in knowing what your future will be like after leaving this place!"

The Goddess responds cheerfully, while looking at Icarus who still maintains a philosophical expression.

"Huehue! Thanks for the compliment!"

Icarus replies with a small smile.

"Well, I completely lost track of time while talking to you, but I think it's time to get down to business!"

Sakdal says with a serious expression.

"Okay!"

Icarus replies with a genuine serious expression.

"Well, to explain what it is and why you are entitled to a reward… first, I need to explain what this place really is!

This may take a while, but it will clear up some of your doubts! Should we start?"

"Yeah!"

"Very well! Limbo is the name we gave for rooms like this!"

"Huh? Do you mean that there are more rooms like this? Besides, who are these other beings? Gods?!"

"Answering your first question... Yes! There are millions of rooms like this across the universe!

As for your second question, the answer is also yes! There are many gods!"

"Oh…"

"Take me as an example, in the beginning I was just a mortal just like you!

However, after a long time I managed to successfully go through my ascension and become a deity, but it is better to put that aside for now! After all, you are a long way from coming to understand what a God really is!

So in a nutshell, there are several rooms like this that have the name of Limbo, scattered throughout the universe, and in each Limbo there is a God who administers rewards and Judgments for souls who visit this Limbo!"
