12 Truth of a Tear
A bright light illuminated in Yuehan's forehead as all the billions of humans vanished at the same time. He transported them far from the sun with the correct heat just enough for them to become ashes to forever become one with the space.
He stood tall in the skies as if there was a leverage. His eyes were listless as his spirit and soul seemingly drained.
* * * * *
"Son, what do you wish to grow?" Yuehan's father was caressing a cute boy.
"I want to be like you!" Yuehan answered as he restlessly punching his father's leg. 'So I can have lot of money.'
"Oh." His father laughed. "I think you don't care anything as long as there's money."
"Yeah, anything" Yuehan widely grinned.
"But what do you need the money for?" Father mischievously asked.
"Of course to play games" Yuehan played with his father's hands.
"And?" His father eyed his son.
Yuehan tilted his head to look at his father as his hair moved along. He gaze at his father's eyes.
"And to help people." He casually said.

At this moment, the earth was half-destroyed when the gargantuan ship in the space tried to obliterate the planet. It seemed lasers that was tackled during alien movies were also genuinely real. It was because tens of thousands of blue lights shone and sparkled on the ship.
Yuehan lifted his head to look at it.
"Im no helper. I'm a killer."
His forehead lit as the mother ship and other large and medium ships in the space vanished.
He remembered the thoughts his father spoke after the shock when he reunited with his wife and child.
*
'Yuehan?' He asked, "Where is Yuehan?"
"I don't know" His mother cried. "He is not here with us."
"Ahh!" He looked around his surroundings searching for his soul. 'Damn, where is he?'
"Yuehan! Where are you?" His mother loudly shouted but was drowned by all kinds of voices in the crowd. They couldn't even move freely as there were too many people.
Then someone tugged at the shirt of his father. "Dad, I don't see Yuehan."
"I-I dont--" Before his father could finish speaking, his mother spoke.
"He was with his classmates. He will come back with us later." His mother gently smiled to his child.
"Okay" Then his younger brother continued back to look far below at the ground. He watched as the music of destruction played it's part.
*
'Boom' A very loud explosion resounded nearby as his whole being was consumed by the lava. However, he didn't feel pain what so ever.
He was only standing there in the air foolishly as the world met it's own climactic destruction.
The planet had already left it's course and route of orbit to the sun. The earth had already cracked many times. Lava gushed out like spring. Dense clouds billowed all over the skies as his small stature was hidden on it. Lightning crackled as it striked the ground many times. Explosions rang out incessantly as blasts commonly occurred. The ocean was in wrath as the waves roiled out crazed. Steams rose into the air as lava touched the oceans.
The planet during its exit from the orbit, moved into a certain destination of the space in a very fast motion. The speed was increasing all the way.
He only just waited and waited until a week had passed.
'BANG!' The world had collided with Mars. The sound of collision could shatter the heavens. Gigantic scale of destruction blasted the hell out of the crust and upper mantle of Earth. A huge amount of dust covered the atmosphere. The dense clouds of earth entered into Mars. The properties of both worlds combined. The gravity was now vastly different. Many things were floating out such as the red soil from Mars and loam soil from Earth.
Both of these planets were as if having red stripes on their surface. It was because of dense lavas coming out of the giant and huge cracks due to the collision.
And all of this time, a young man was submerged in all of this. However, he was unscathed. He was here only to witness the last moments of his home world.
He didn't thought of saving the world as he couldn't. Using his telekinesis, he can't lift or move the world. Using his mysterious power to transport the earth, the result would be the same as he knows no place in the infinite space nor did he have the slightest idea.
He could only randomly transport it into the space where it would end being hit by countless rocks or die quickly as there was no heat of provision and a support of a compatible star's gravity and orbit. . Why not just end it here in this familiar solar system and be collided by its fellow planetary friend.
His power remained what it was as it required a detailed wisdom before something could be popped out.
Without a slightest idea about the life in space; the locations of a perfect environment for a habitable planet to live, he was helpless.
As of this moment, Yuehan flew up into the space, viewing everywhere as he moved.
In the space; looking down below, the sight it beheld was destruction itself. Both worlds were red with crimson stripes and dots. Some of the ocean was floating but most of them had already touched the broken ground surface of both worlds. Its still had a little gravity to pull up things to explain why most things settled down below instead of floating into the atmosphere.
Apart from the middle of the collision of both planets, where most of the clouds converged, other parts seemed naked for the eyes to see. There he saw that there was no longer ice in Earth but tint of redness all over.
Almost of the trees were rooted out from their lands. Most of the mountains collapsed including the hills and other lumpy landscapes. The inner parts of both world were bare as seemed their innards were out.
Yuehan watching it was gradually eclipsed in light of his whole being as his forehead illuminated very strong and bright light. It was unprecedented comparing from the last lights that were shown before.
He could sense he was slowly transforming not in his physique but his psyche.
"Ughh" Since he was reborn, this is the first physical pain he ever felt.
*
He could remember all of his memories except for one. It was the dream where he met God.
Dreams was after all a memory in its form and he could remember all of his dreams except for that one.
This dream of memory appeared again.
"Power comes with sacrifice. Are you willing?" The perfect voice resounded into the void.
The light dot above seemingly sparkled as Yuehan was looking at it. Realistic images and information flowed into his mind.
After that, it was as if he was watching a video like a rapid flash of frames of images. But compared to just ordinarily watching, it felt like he experienced it first hand.
It showed him images of what would be the results. It appeared a young boy which was him and it seemed to be that he was connected with it. What the person in the image felt, he also felt the emotions.
It portrayed there first that he was extremely unlucky at the beginning which was one of the sacrifices he should abide. The images appeared as every kinds of examples where showed. Every scene as minor could be and as major it could be.
Such as his house was attacked by a lightning, his mother was stabbed by a burglar, a tsunami hit the city, a god descended that massacred them, and every scenario could be.
Or even an explosion that occurred during a period of a class that turned his friends be an infected. A scene which he was eaten by his mom and his brother.
And every variation it could be. Such as his house was attacked by a number times of lightning, his father stabbed by a thief , a water surge hit the city, a goddess descended that massacred them, and every variation could be as minor or as major could be.
He experienced all of it as he watched. He felt all of it.
After, a tear dropped from Yuehan's face followed by its stream as he began to cry however, he still answered without hesitation, "Yes!"
"Good child" The omnipresent voice then slowly vanished as the light dot atop in the void shot down in a flash to his forehead.
*
As his mind came back to him, he had already forgotten it. But somehow he knew that even if he was to be asked many times and repeatedly that if he had to sacrifice something to acquire this mysterious power he had in him, he would still agree.
The reason was unknown but he thought that the answer was connected to a past memory of his. He instinctively reminisce of something.
*
"Son, what do you wish to grow?"
"I want to be like you!"
"Oh. Haha. I think you don't care anything as long as there's money."
"Yeah, anything"
"But what do you need the money for?"
"Of course to play games"
"And?"
"And to help people."
