Just according to keikaku

A young man, 1.90cm tall, walked with his hand in his pocket down a busy cobbled street. Despite not being thin, he was quite muscular in height. His broad and well-trained back had its charm.

His calm gaze wandered as he looked around. He seemed to be searching for something. It was not known for sure, but it seemed that everything was going according to plan.

Suddenly his eyes focused on something that caught his attention. It was a kamikaze truck coming at high speed down the street. And imagine, yes, a child was crossing the street while the kamikaze truck was coming at high speed. If this continued, the child would be run over.

The young man, 190cm tall, ran like a hero to save the needy. He was an example of a young hero. His speed was impressive, arriving quickly to rescue the child.

As the young hero went to help the child, the truck accelerated and headed toward the young hero at its highest speed. His intention was clear.

The young man found himself in despair, and all he could see was a loud noise while everything went black.

~ silence ~

That was all there was, this infinite emptiness. And in some corner of the emptiness, a lost soul lay. The soul had no shape, but strangely it seemed to be observing the place.

Yes, this was the young hero who died heroically to save the child's life. He no longer knew how long he had been here, maybe for millions of years or just a few seconds.

The emptiness had no concept of time or space. But how was the emptiness infinite, and the soul moving? This was a paradox of emptiness. There was no concept in the void because it was empty, outside of reality, hence the void.

But somehow, there was a soul in the void, and it moved and even thought. It was a mystery why this was so.

That was what the soul, or rather the young hero, was thinking.

Some "time" later -

"It's really intriguing, this emptiness. I feel like years have passed, but at the same time, I feel like only a few seconds have gone by."

The young hero lying in the void talked to himself. After all, that was all he could do at the moment.

The young hero did not mind the silence. In fact, he quite liked this silence. It was just his thoughts and nothing else, no one and no noise to bother him. Perhaps this was paradise?

The void was intriguing because, contrary to what some believe, the void was neither dark nor light. It was just emptiness, without much guidance because it was not necessary. Even with all the intention, we would not be able to explain even 1% of it as a whole.

In the void, there was no concept of space, time, or even the concept of void itself. But then what was the void? This was the question that lingered in the young hero's mind.

Perhaps the best explanation was that the void did not exist, and it was empty, with nothing, without everything, no chaotic void or order, as stated earlier, there was nothing.

The young man also wondered how he could exist in such a place. Maybe he was special, or protected by something?

These would be the only two alternatives, as during the time he was here, he did not "see" another soul or "feel" anything.

But this was strange because a place like the void had no concept. So how was he capable of such a thing?

"Hello, how are you?"

Suddenly, a blinding light came from afar and somehow he could see even in this emptiness where there was nothing.

"Who are you?"

The young man asked, a question that was on his mind at the moment. After all, for such an existence to exist in this void, it must be God, right?

"Well, first let's go somewhere else."

Saying that, the unknown existence disappears and the young hero too.

Unknown place of the unknown existence -

In a COMPLETELY WHITE place lay a soul and a white entity. It had a human form, but it was nothing like humans - a completely white entity without eyes, mouth, nose, or even looking 3-D. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't even realize it existed there.

On the other side lay the soul of the young hero, who now had a form - a 190cm tall young man, quite muscular. Despite being larger compared to the entity, he seemed tiny in comparison to it - like an atom compared to the sun.

"So that's what it was, really something 'unexpected'."

The young man spoke calmly, as if he had already foreseen this. But had he really?

"Just according to keikaku."
