Prologue

Gray space, peaceful and calm, like the smooth surface of the water. It exists endlessly and will never change.

But from time to time lights of different colors, souls wander here.

Just today, a lonely bright soul has wandered here.

"What is this place?" The surprised words of the light echoed.

"This is the Edge." - answered a calm unknown voice.

"Edge?" - Turning asked the light in search of a voice.

"Yes, a space at the crossroads of many worlds, a dungeon of secrets." - said an entity in a cloak that appeared from nowhere.

"W-who are you?"- Shouted the surprised light.

"Oh, I'm sorry for scaring you. I am one of the Guardians of the Edge, so that it would be easier for us to communicate, call me Carid "- he introduced himself.

"Okay, Carid. My name is Kitsugaya Reed "- out of politeness, the light also introduced himself.

"In order not to procrastinate with the explanation of everything, I'll say frankly, only the souls of the deceased and the damned creatures get into this place by accident." - Carid calmly began to explain.

Light Reed froze at first and then nodded.

"You might be wondering what kind of creature it is and who I am? Quite simply, damned creatures are souls of different races who have lost their sanity or use evil as their strength. They were so immersed in filth that they lost themselves and began to hunt people like you. We, the keepers, see off lost souls and destroy creatures. Therefore, please, come in. "- after explaining, Karid moved his hand and opened a crack in space.

"This path will lead you onto the path of reincarnation. Go Katsugaya Reed, I wish you the best of luck. "-Karid said with a slight smile on his stubbled face.

Katsugaya swam towards the crack. Stopping in front of the entrance, he looked at Carid, bowed, said "thank you" and entered.

Left alone, Karid checked the stability of the spatial passage, making sure there were no problems, he closed it. But he did not move anywhere and stood for tens of minutes, staring into emptiness.

"Sigh"

"How long have I been a keeper? This is the first time I meet such a strong soul."- he began to talk to himself. Having become a keeper, he lost the essence of time, the Edge became his home and he exists only thanks to him. Edge, his home, Karid considers souls to be guests, and critters to pests.

"What a polite young man, I hope fate will not pass you by." - said Karid with a slight smile and disappeared unnoticed.
