|Haaaaaa-..| the crowds was still yelling when the six gods disappeared in the shadows.

| Worship the god|

The god at the middle stayed a bit more enjoying the crowds worshipping with a straight face and shining sanity.

" My Lord!"

The god raised his hand giving the crowds the signal to be quiet again. They were obedient like sheep.

He turned around when the noises ended in a frame of a second.

It was Darcel in front of the entrance. He always keeps the god's accompany and he's also his left hand, because why a god needs another right when he can use his own just fine!

" My Lord, the others are here." Darcel informed him after greeting him formally.

" I already know".

The six gods were aligned in front of him. They bowed their heads slowly and greet him respectfully, then their representative said: " Our lord, the execution was perfect as planned!"

"Hahahaaahe ! What execution?" He replied

"What! We just wiped the demon, didn't we?"

"He escaped!" the god answered like enjoying it.

"B.but how! even me, I could've been gravely injured from that attack, let escaping with such injuries!".

Darcel and the other gods were also confused but they had to keep their silence.

"The thing is that it never hit him, it vanished when his aura just changed, he became a scary creature when he crystalized the natural power in a merely fragment of an instant. The destruction on the floor was created in the pressure of his incredible movements, even my left eye was no much to keep up with his speed when he just vanished"

The gods were shocked not because even the almighty god for them couldn't see a thing, but because he was describing it like he was his biggest idol.

In the other hand, Darcel was confused about why that filthy "demon" didn't unleash his true powers when he was going to crush him earlier. But gods never lies or that what's common among people. The confusion became rage when he realized that a mere monster is stronger than him.

"Hahahaaahe ! But it did its job, the citizens are now obedient as never!" -the god continued arrogantly-

"I will go chase him!" Darcel suggested when he felt his inferiority.

The god lift his hand when his face turned serious "No need, He will come sooner or later. I know him!"

The six gods aligned aside and cleared the path when he kept his majestic walk. ( Because his my son or I would say ...) - he murmured-

.

"My son!" Youno said when his eyes were burning in golden fire. The fire settled down and his eyes regained their natural sparkle.

"Haaaahe!" he woke up startled when a nice breeze refreshed his pale face.

" Ha~houhe, ha~houhe ha..." He was panting and horrified.

He moved his eyes around when they were wide open on the beauty of the sight "Where am I again? ".

It was a very peaceful place. The green leafs dancing in the rythme of the cool breeze who's chanting between the tree's branches and playing on the golden strings of the sunlight. The rocks and stones that drum falling from the bowed mountain. The birds chirping was guiding that natural melody and the lost insects movements between the beautiful flowers gave the whole scene an incredible harmony.

His ears finally relaxed in the nature speech for him. "Is that what heaven looks like!?" Youno said when he regained his internal peace.

" I'm already tired of that !". He leaned on the tree and began to contemplate the shadow who reflected the sunshine from his eyes, the escaped sun light was not bothering at all because it will just been lost in the shining void of the two entrances to his soul.

"Well, that's not too bad .. not bad at all!" -he felt very relaxed-

"There is birds, grace and a cool breeze , the only thing that lacks is an incredible manga to read for that nice mountain watching me from behind" " Oh, and not to forgot the angry goblins who's coming toward me in beautiful hammers. A~he, it's beautiful how the butterflies escape the pure drop of blood coming out from the fangs of goblins fighting among themselves to decide who will have me for their next meal. This is just, so fascinating!" -he was contemplating profoundly-

"Yeah! they are only goblins, the monsters that slaughter the beginner players and adventurers just like myself. There's nothing to fear, nothing at all because I'm already de-"

An axe was thrown on him and cut off his head to the sky.

Youno's view was flipping "dead!- k-khe"

.

.

.

"Haaaahe !" he woke up startled. "Ha~houhe, ha~houhe, ha~houhe ha..." He was panting heavily. "A dream!?".

The birds still chirping and the beautiful weather is totally the same. Suddenly the butterflies escaped the flowers on the fight of the horrifying goblins. There is no beauty this time, there is just confusing terror.

The same axe was thrown another time. "Wha-" But Youno could escape his expected death instinctively.

"Haahou, haahou haahe" he panted terrified when he saw in half an eye the massive axe, that just missed his neck, dripping in dark blood of goblins and approximately embedded in the hearth of the thick tree.

It was a one eyed giant who whipped the goblins fight in a single launch aiming for Youno's head. He speeded up toward Youno, crushing down the headless corpses and the red tinted flowers.

The single though that came in Youno's head is "survive", but he was paralyzed from fear. "Move, move, moooove!" he yelled when the giant kept approaching in an insane speed and roaring like a crazy beast.

"Damnit moove, mo-!". Youno saw his tiny mirage on the big red eye when the giant jumped to grabe his axe. There's nowhere to escape.

| Booofffefffffffe!| The giant crushed the tree. The dust and shrapnel shot straight up in a beautiful umbrella pattern, making a fantastic fire works decorated with volatile multicolor flower petals.

"Cought Coughcough .." Youno suffocated from dust. "That was hella close!" he said when he was on his knees just a few meters from the giant corpse. "But.." he stared at his shaking hands.

"My body just moved on his own when the scene turned slow motion, my hands grabbed the giant, crush it to the mountain and push me back".

He grasped his fist and said in joy to the sky. "Haaahahahaha! That was hella awesome, is that what they call ultra instinct!".

He got up slowly, dust his clothes and went near the giant open eye. He contemplated his mirage arrogantly " Now who's the boss! Ha!" "It's me b*ch! this world's main character!"

Suddenly, the giant corpse began to disappear gradually in fragment of light, and an area of the mountain crumbled reveling a hellish huge door. The tree also disappeared in fragment of light that condensed and created the tree in her original place. Youno was very confused about what happened, how objects got restored and where is the dropped items as his prizes for crushing a boss monster.

He contemplated the huge door closely. A massive hourglass that drips in volcanic sand and chained up in golden chains. But in every two sand drops, the hourglass seem to glitch and restart.

A fire lighted up suddenly in the doors front, when Youno stepped back, graving words in the demonic language.

[If you want to go outside you have to enter the prison first] That was what was graved and Youno could understand it as well.

Youno found it absurd because he is now outside.

He took a look at the beautiful nature, the dancing butterflies and heard the amusing birds chanting, he looked back to the scary door and wondered about its destination inside a literally damn mountain.

it was like he was in heaven and some crazy door wanted him to take the path to hell.

"Aaahe, I don't think so!" he turned his back to the door and started walking.

"Am I crazy to get inside an unknown place and leave this beautiful sight".

He walked and walked and kept walking, enjoying the roses beautiful aroma and refreshing from his earlier shock and trauma. It's better to leave this insane place as quick as possible but it will do no harm to enjoy the nature a little.

He looked back to see how much he walked in that vast plains. The mountain was far away.

He turned to continue his path when he hit something and fell off to the ground.

"Itatatate !" he covered his forehead from pain.

He took a look to what stopped his moment of peace when he was insanely shocked. It's the same door.

Youno looked back again to verify the absurdity of what he saw. Yes this is the same tree behind him, the beautiful flowers and the lost insects. Looking back to the chained hourglass, and contemplating the dripping lava sand. But now the hour restart after dripping tree sand drops instead of two.

[ If you want to go outside you have to enter the prison first] the same sentence engraved again.

"Yeah, that's very suspicious. As hell I will enter there!" he yelled to the door when he got up hastily.

"This is insane!" he turned back and start walking and walking and kept walking till the mountain disappeared in the horizon.

He peaked back and hit the same door again. Now the hourglass restart every four drops.

"F*k" he got up and began to run as fast as he could, peaked back and hit his head on the door. "Itai itai tai tai.." he grabbed his face from pain and was wallowing in the ground.

[ If you want to go outside you have to enter the prison first]

" sh*t" he got up with teary eyes. "Ok, what the f*k is that prison anyway?"

The fire text settled down when another one has been engraved. [Enter, you will know!]

"ok!" - answered Youno then he ran to the other direction - "I will not be fooled and put my own feet in some hell "

|Dfe !!| he hit the door once again, got up hastily and began to run, hit the door, got up and run again. Every time he hit the door, another drop was added to when the hourglass restart.

[there's nowhere to escape!]

He kept running, but he always go back to the door.

There's now only two lava drops of sand remaining that didn't fall down.

Youno finally out of breath and decided to gave up. Stayed laying on the ground and contemplating the over and over glitching hourglass.

[ Just enter you punk ! ] the words engraved suddenly in blue flames.

"Can you just ask politely for me to consider it" said Youno when he sat up. "Wait, How a door is talking to me?" he wondered. "Yeah! I'm going crazy!"

The writing faded, then another appeared.

[Enter, and you could find...]

Faded again and another engraved.

[ adventure, love and escape this monotone life of shit!]

Youno was finally interested, this is exactly what he wished for. He got up and get close to the door.

[Push]

Youno pushed with his right hand but the door didn't open because of the chained hourglass.

[Use your left]

Youno wanted to push with his left but as soon as he touched it, his ring appeared.

" Where have you been? oh!" he realized that he talked to his ring. "Yeah! I'm going crazy"

*Always been here* -the ring answered when he began to shine in white light-

"Yeah! that was a bad idea!" -Youno though that he finally lost his mind-

The golden chains removed slowly from the hourglass who flipped when it was finally free .

The two remaining drops were now the ones down and the hourglass glitched and restart again dropping just two lava sand.

The door opened when an insane unbearable

light came out.

"Yeah! I don't like that!"

The light covered the view.
