1 Prologue

I had a strange dream.

I was standing in the darkness with nothing but the emptiness around me.

Suddenly, there was a voice that came out of everywhere. I couldn't locate its source.

"There is a heavy burden waiting for you."

"W-what? Who are you?"

"It doesn't matter. You should care about other things."

"W-which ones?"

My voice seemed strange and unsteady to me.

"You have to change the world."

"What world? Why?"

"Figure it out by yourself."

I tried to think rationally, but everything seemed just like a nonsense that so often comes up in dreams.

"And for that I give you the power of ''Overcoming'' — the only thing that will never betray you in this world."

I decided to do nothing and just stood there in expectation of what my next dream would be like.

"Oh, I see. You're thinking that all of this is just a dream? Hahaha!"

As if the emptiness itself was the laughter, with its growls giving me a headache.

Pain? In a dream?

"W-what?"

It seemed to me that my eyes were wide open from the surpise.

"Now you're getting it, aren't you? Haha! I can't hear any questions from you!"

I kept silent, trying to realize what was going on.

"I see you kept your equanimity, you deserve a little award! Haha! Or you'll be better off with a curse?"

What the hell is he saying?

"All in all, there's a mark of ''Godlike forwardness'' for you to bear in soul! Ha-ha! It will make a good use for you... probably."

...?

"Don't forget! Change the world! You'd better do it on top!"

At that moment a tiny ray of light dashed into the darkness, replacing all the emptiness.
