2 Two Rolans In A Vacuum World

Why am I here?!

How in the hell?!

My eyebrows furrow as I squint my eyes, thinking of many questions that I could not answer. 

Just now, after the intense headache, I fell unconscious, (un)fortunately it didn't take a long time and I opened my eyes again, at that moment I found myself in this unknown place.

This current location of mine is like a vacuum world; void of light whilst filled with darkness.

There is a red sky, that gives a deadly atmosphere.

There is no land, but I can stand, as if there is no gravity, I am floating without having difficulty. 

But as strange as it is, when I tried to walk, the place also expanded. This place seems to have no end at all as if an infinite space. 

I am startled, there is no reliable explanation of anything that is happening right now that I can find.

Aye, I know I am not a genius, but I am confident that I am also not an idiot: I am confident that I could understand things if there is a clue.

Unfortunately, at this moment, other than being mysterious, the vacuum world has nothing to be explained anymore. 

I am yet to understand why I am still alive and woke up in the unfamiliar room, but well, I am here with another mystery, again.

A vacuum world that gives people a feeling of dread and superstitious aura. 

I wish there was someone that could explain everything to me. But I am unlucky; I am alone. 

I can only curse my luck in my mind. 

Aside from the problem of the space, when I tried to speak, I also found out that no sounds could come out; I could open my mouth, but my voice has muted. As if there is an invisible force that prevents my voice from leaking. 

Is it forbidden to speak in this place?

A question mark appears on my head as I think. 

Yes, although I can't speak, I can think. 

I just have to be strong. There is someone who will come. I just need to wait. 

Although I am the only person in this weird place, I can't help but have a false hope that someone would come and explain everything to me. Or just going to help me get some clues. 

If I'd have to choose, I rather stay with that scary Lolita than in this weird and scary place. I would die faster in this place. 

The silence is killing me.

Suddenly... 

°You are finally here!°

Out of nowhere, a voice suddenly spoke that made me jump out of fright. It freaks me out (I almost pee).

I turn myself around to locate the source of the voice. 

It didn't take a long time, and I witnessed with my very own eyes another mystery. A smoke evaporates in the air and slowly, it turns into a humanoid shape before a vague figure appears. 

The vague figure not long after becomes clear, and what appears is a familiar face. 

It gives me a vibe as if I am looking in a mirror. 

Wait... the guy in the photo?!

My eyes turn oval as I recall the photo Lolita shows me and creates a conclusion. 

Unfortunately, although I want to ask him about it. The problem is, I am clueless about how to do so. 

°I know you have several questions for me, and you want the answers to them. But please listen to me first. Remember, your own fate will answer your doubts in your future journey...° 

Hmm...

Considering my current situation, I can't help but agree with him. 

I do nothing unnecessary. I just stand still and nod my head. 

My face has a serious expression waiting for more information from this individual that comes to my rescue. 

Actually, I am uncertain if he really can help me, but my instinct is telling me that he knows this place better than I am. 

°Hahaha! Not only did our faces look the same, but even our temperament! If I am in your position, I will also just nod my head just to get out of this place°

I nod again, agreeing with what he says. 

°Dododon't be impatient. I called you here because I am about to disappear°

Oh! So he calls me...

I am about to nod my head again but freeze halfway.

Wait~ What? 

What did he say?

Called?

Does that mean he is the one responsible for me being here? 

My brain seems to stop functioning that turns my thoughts into chaos.

I am called in this place by whom?

By him? 

Damn* 

As fast as I trusted him, as fast as my head heats. 

I show an ugly face as I want to beat the shit out of him. 

I agreed with his nonsense a while ago because I believe he comes to my rescue, but who would have thought I'll be double-crossed so fast? 

He has to be thankful that I barely have little strength, really! Or I'll fight him with my fist. 

What bullshit! 

I take a deep breath and release a chilly breath. I feel like I'll get a heart attack if I don't decide to calm down. 

I try to short out my thoughts. 

Yes. That's right. His words answer my former doubts. 

I finally got some idea of what happened after the accident. But of course, I can't confirm it yet. Nope. It's better to say that it is already clear, but I merely don't want to believe it. 

Anyway, now that everything has already happened. And I am already here. I am now under his hand, and I can only blame my fate for what is happening right now. 

I can only shake my head and bite the bullet. 

I'll listen to him first... 

°Rolan, don't be angry. °

The figure shows an innocent smile as he tries to excuse himself from my anger. 

Unfortunately, this only causes me to greet my teeth. It's annoying. But of course, I did nothing more than that. 

°Anyway, let me introduce myself first. My name is Rolan too, just like you. Actually, I and you are one... You are me and I am you!°

Hmm... 

I nod my head again. Just when I see him, this was the idea I got in my mind. 

°Rolan, you are no longer on the earth, if you want to ask that. Ah, I mean, you are no longer on the earth that you know. You are now in an alternative world, where me, the Rolan in this Parallel Earth, living° 

°I know everything is difficult to understand with sudden changes in your life. However, let me add something to your problem. °

He raises his hand then opens his palm, where put of nowhere, an artificial globe appears.

°This world isn't as normal as you think; powers, magic, swords, heroes, villains, and supernatural co-exist in this new world of yours° 

°Rolan, I brought you into this world not because I just want to, but because I need you to replace me, for you to protect those I would leave as I about to disappear°

°Let me explain the world you are in first.°

The globe then zoomed in and shows the room where I woke up and saw the Lolita.

°The room where you woke up and the girl that you saw is someone I know. That place is your house, and for the little girl, she's my or now, your adopted sister. Cherish her and don't let me get disappointed in you! °

°I know it would be a hard path for you, but I wish you could help me... °

°But don't worry, I won't let you suffer too much. I will always appear in your rescue in the time of struggle°

°Also, Welcome to my world, the Parallel Earth 2.0~ blah blah blah~ °

<[1 Day Passed]>

It has been a day since I came back after that talk with the (Rolan, not me, the other one), maybe because of the astonishing and unrealistic information that he said, I can't help yet wonder with many chains of thoughts and stay bedridden for a whole day and night. 

Actually, I am still lying in bed.

Everything now is clear, though. 

I am no longer in my world, but in an alternative world filled with supernatural things such as power, swords, and magic. Although unrealistic to think, I am now certain after a day of staying here. 

I can't doubt it anymore as yesterday, I witnessed how Lolita cast a spell and flew in the air, like a feather with no weight using the so-called magic. 

Anyway, forget about Lolita. Based on Rolan's studies for many years about magic, he accidentally found out a shocking truth; there are many worlds other than this one. You can even summon them. But there is a consequence of doing so, of course. You can only summon those individuals with the same identity as you (You in another world, like that) by facing the unknown but severe consequences. 

As idiotic as it may sound, he said he didn't believe this information at first and ended up trying; he summoned my soul, but as a result, he had to die. (He didn't expect that with his minor talent of mana manipulation, he could do the summoning. I don't know how it works. ) 

The time I woke up was also the time he died. 

I doubt what he says because there is no way a mage would doubt something related to magic. But of course, I don't have any choice but to concede at this moment.

Forget it...

After all, since I came out from that vacuum world, I already started a new life, as another person. 

Also, remember, my name is Rolan, 18 years old, Male (Of course) a normal individual and other than that, there is Lolita, and if I ain't mistaken, her name should be Tiara, she's an adopted sister of mine. She's now thirteen, five years younger than me. 

A baby got abandoned, crying outside our house amidst the dead night and heavy rain. My parents got emotional witnessing this silly baby and adopted her. Yes, Tiara was that baby and now overpowered me.

Speaking of parents, our parents have known hunters in the entire city. Five years ago, they left for an assignment but haven't come back since then.

What I only hear at that time is; they need to go to the Mist Forest to investigate something. 

I tried to ask some hunters, but they found no information about them. They seemed to vanish out of the blue, so I could only give up. Sad, but I ain't rich enough to have the amount to support a searching team for them, not to mention. 

Since then, I and Tiara live only with each other. 

Well, right now, my goal is to take care of Tiara, I should not think more than that.

Also, of course, I have to convince Tiara I am the Roland she knows. 

...

Fortunately, that is a false problem, because Tiara didn't even find any changes in me. After all, the former Rolan and I are the same in terms of temperament, the way how to act, and even speak. 

We have so many similarities that no one can expect that the Rolan now is different. 

By the way, after more thoughts, the annoyance I have towards the Rolan who summoned me finally vanished. Although he pulled me into this situation, I should be thankful to him because I am still alive. I know that; that car accident already killed me, the (me) on the earth. 

I have to make sure not to disappoint him as to show my gratitude towards him. 

Haha! 

By the way, Tiara is so cuu~

Ahem~ Just... Kidding... I ain't a pervert.
