1 Death...
Earth... Somewhere... The year 2019
Philippines...
An old man with a wrinkled face, grayish hair telling his old age, sitting alone while watching anything randomly at his laptop. Sometimes reading 'Light Novel' while at other times checking updates on various 'Manga' updates.
He lives alone at a two-story house; No wife, no sons/daughters, no father and mother, but only with a maid that goes home after finishing her work and come back at early morning.
This old man has a story. Joining the army when he was 23 'A fresh graduate' from the academy 'Philippine Military Academy' at a city called 'Baguio'. With good marks, he easily joined the 'Philippine Army'.
Upon joining and training for two years, at 25 he officially got his position at the lower ranks.
Time passed…
He's been with the army for 37 years since he joined as a trainee. Did many things for his country, slowly climbing up in the ranks until he reached the rank of Lieutenant General.
Now, he is 62 years old thinking about his family 'Maybe it's about time I retire and spend more time with my family. I have saved up enough to live with my family and for our future, and I miss my cute grandson's'.
(He retired Two Weeks after thinking that, he needed to process his papers properly before he could do so)
....
He had a family of seven; A loving mother who was 93 years old, a good father that is nearing 94. A perfect wife for him, A daughter 28 years old and a son who's 26 years old.
His daughter married at 27 and at 28 she gave birth to his first grandson and two years later, his son also got married, and a year later his wife gave birth to his second grandson.
10 years passed, his two grandsons grow up.
When he could go back home, he will spend time with them, he's fond of them and his grandsons also liked him back.
There was a time when his first grandson saw an anime which he thought is a cartoon and really liked it, his grandson then asked him to watch it together with his second grandson.
Seeing how eager and cute his grandson was, he smiled and joined what his grandson wanted to do.
Time passes…
When he could go back home, his grandson would always ask him to watch together which he also liked to watch.
In his free time when he is in the Army, he would watch anime to pass the time. Till he thought of retiring and did so.
His grandsons now have their own work and family, he will visit them when he can or they would visit him when they can together with their family.
...
Five years have passed, he was now 67 years old, two years earlier, his wife died because of an unknown disease, which broke his heart, he cried because of sadness and grief.
Before his wife died, his wife told him, "Let's meet again in our next life".
Caressing his wife's face lovingly, he said. "We will" with tears in his eyes.
His father and mother died years ago, leaving him and his wife in their house because his daughter and son moved out years before to live separately with their own family and now that his wife died, he's left alone.
Being alone at 65, he passed his time by watching anime, movies, reading novels and mangas and so on just to keep his loneliness away.
His son, daughter, and two grandsons along with their families come from time to time and visits him, he doesn't want to leave the house because it is where everything started for him.
His son and daughter talked with each other and agreed to hire a maid to come every day in the house and clean it and cook for the old man.
Years passed, spending his time watching anime, if he had nothing to watch or no updates to his favorite anime's, he would watch movies. or would read novels and mangas while drinking his loneliness. Years passed, he is now 75 years old.
As he watches and drinks, he noticed that he is out of beer to drink pausing what he is currently watching, checking the fridges if there's more, to his dismay, there's none!
Deciding to go out and buy more, with a case filled with an empty bottle of beers in hand and getting out of the house that's just a couple meters away from the highway, he saw the store where he would buy a beer but stopped when he saw that there're drunks fighting at the store's front.
Since the store is the nearest in his house, he just waited and sat on the case until the rumble of drunks finished as he watched them go at it.
Not long after, all the drunks stopped with their rumbling because the police came and took them in for questioning. After they were all taken, he then went to the store to buy his beer. Right after buying a case of it, he went back home and continued watching and drinking. As he drinks and watches, he did not notice that one bottle is slightly different for what he's watching is at its climax.
Supreme Realm~
There're two old men drinking, one having a gray hair and beard who looked drunk from his excessive drinking made a grabbing motion on the air, the air cracked revealing nothing, waving his hand, two bottles appeared out of nothing, grabbing hold on to the bottles, the gray-haired drunk old man accidentally let go on one bottle.
"It fell," he said.
"Fell? What fell? Where?" asked the other one who also looked old but looked older for his hair and beard are as white as snow.
"A bottle of beer and it fell to the world of mortals," said the gray-haired old man.
"Ohh…" said the white-haired old man.
"Well, here you go, Father. I'll just get another one," said the gray-haired old man and made the same grabbing motion on the air and took one out from the unknown.
-------—
Void~
A ball of light kept floating on the endless darkness of the void without being able to move.
It tried screaming, but no one was there to hear him.
It tried to move, but not able to. It just floated everywhere from some force unknown.
He thought 'Where am I? How long have I been here?'
But no one is there to answer his question.
...…
Left drifting on the void for years unknown, the ball of light just floated there. Hoping that someday, someone would come to his rescue and get him out here at the world of darkness.
Until he saw a light, a light so bright that he could not directly stare at it.
Seconds later, the bright light started diminishing.
As it diminished, a human figure slowly started being seen.
When the light finally died out, the ball of light can now see the whole figure, it said.
"A GODDESS!"
