Hope

I opened my eyes slowly. My vision was still blurry like blowing dust that slowly revealed a beautiful clear sky.

Wink. This has to be a lie, right?

The sound of strong gusts of wind crashed all over my body. My hair is messy, and my heart is not very calm.

"Eh?... Where is this? Why can I see a clear blue sky like this again?"

I feel like something bad is going to happen. I turned around and saw a large, majestic city with several buildings towering high into the sky on the right.

One tall blue glass white building and 12 other pillars on each side of the city with blue crystals floating above them look truly beautiful. Is this the world of the future? Possible ....

I don't know for sure yet. It's like Japanese city buildings, but a little different. I see it like a dream, but this is the reality. The big city is shaped like a Dodecagon.

Only the open blue sea is far away at the edge of sight, this beautiful city makes me feel comfortable after seeing it. Instantly it all became fake.

My eyes glanced at the ruins of a damaged building just below. I can't think of anything else, I can only think of one thing that can make me surrender.

Yes, I will definitely die.

"Hmmm... It turns out I really went to another world. But... it looks like I'm going to die again. A beautiful day is sweet like honey, but bitter like the reality I always experience."

Surrendering, I turned my body again, acting like I was lying on the beach. Lift 1 leg and keep both hands behind the head. Close your eyes to be able to feel everything so that it looks more delicious and doesn't feel like it.

Yahhhh, This looks casual and stupid. However, I understand that I can't do anything.

My body fell quickly downwards, because death was a sure way for me to survive.

*JLEBB!*

Crashing into a damaged building that was sharp like a thorn, it pierced my chest which instantly made me die for the second time. Blood splattered out of my body to color the walls of the building. I don't understand why this could happen to me.

.

.

The sky was dark, many points of light gathered everywhere. I moved to another place, this is not like the world at large. I was in a place that was very far away and different from the world before.

I was spinning floating in space with the force of gravity.

Dimensions that are not bound by time and space.

I woke up and open my eyes.

What's that?. Is that a galaxy? This is really pleasing to the eye if everyone can see it.

They were like countless luminous dust gathered above the endless black sky. I didn't see any image of the earth or anything like that at all. They are very bright and colorful.

I can't believe it, it's countless and almost covers everything. I was blinded by the beauty of the sky which couldn't make me believe the reality of what I was experiencing.

10,100,1000... 1 quadrillion?

What fool would count it all the way through. It's crazy, they're so small and I don't care about them.

"Now what?" I answered flatly.

I still couldn't believe it and tried to close my eyes again. My consciousness has not disappeared, I can still feel all the organs in my body are fine and can still think.

Hahhh... I'm actually dead, am I hallucinating?!

I shouted in a loud voice. "That's enough! Why does this always happen to me? I just want to live in peace... Can a god take me to heaven? I want to live again and forget all this falsehood."

Unconsciously my body carried it and continued to float somewhere. It really surprised me when I saw it.

"This must be a lie...."

I saw it right in front of me, a giant vortex that kept spinning purple mixed with dark blue.

"What is this? Actually, where am I now?"

Rubbing my eyes and thinking this was just a hallucination that I created myself because reality always makes me unable to accept it. I realized.

"... Ahh, that's right. I'm already dead, why am I trying to think about it... How stupid" I answered flatly.

Makes me speechless and continues to question myself. But, it didn't find the answer at all. I'm confused and don't know what else to do with what always happens to me.

I could only think that that place was a paradise waiting for me to arrive. Yes!. A paradise... I hope that, because there are no other words I can say other than a false hope that can turn into a reality.

Sigh. "Think positively... Maybe there is a treasure there or a nice and comfortable place for myself... Hopefully (5x)... I hope I don't die for the 3rd time."

I slowly entered it with a straight face and hoped to find the satisfaction of my desires that would make me happy when I entered the vortex of that giant hole.

.

.

I made it through, unaware that the flow of time was taking me quickly to another place. My feet rested on a large rock. I don't know what place this is. Maybe this really is the heaven I was hoping for.

A large flat gray rock and a smattering of large white clouds hovering above the sky. I tried walking the other way and looked down. I didn't find anything, only found another white cloud blocking it. I looked up, it was like the world's sky in general... everything looked blue with white clouds. Is this really Heaven?

Suddenly .... Another large rock appeared as if leading me to go somewhere. They kept appearing from the right and rotating upwards like making a tower.

1...2...3...Eh?. I don't want to count it.

I was curious about the place there, daring myself to climb the big rocks one by one was my choice. There is no other way than to pass through several countless rocks.

Maybe this is the heaven that I hope can make me calm after I die. But, what kind of stupid thing is to hope for something that is not definitely yours? But, there's no harm if someone hopes even if it hurts, right? Maybe not? Uh... I don't understand.

2 hours have passed, I managed to get to the top of the tower from this place.

I have passed 500 miles to get to this place. But, in front of me there was only a giant gate waiting.

What now?, I hope this is true. It's impossible if I'm dreaming and pretending to be dead. The gate was plain like a stone that was not decorated at all, only a few black flowers were attached around it.

I approached the giant gate, the gate slowly opened by itself like an automatic door that could be opened at any time.

Maybe he can defeat the human heart. I only saw a dark tunnel.

"Dark alley? Will I be chased by a monster and run while grabbing coins?" Sighed and didn't care. "No, I don't want to be the main character in a game."

I tried to walk a few steps forward.

Suddenly, many torches lit up and revealed a staircase leading upwards. "Wait... I think I forgot to bring a knife" I pretended to look for it. I saw him annoyed.

My emotions were at their peak and wanted to erupt. But, I can only express through my hands.

Giving the middle finger of my right hand forward. Very good middle finger. My anger couldn't be contained anymore, I covered my head with the hood of my sweater jacket.

"I will definitely make him suffer!"

An annoyed tone came out of my mouth. That's right, you have to feel it. Yes, if you are an athlete, this will definitely look easy. But what can I do... I'm just an unemployed person who is always at home.

So sad.

No one could understand how one would feel after crossing 500 boulders to reach the top of the tower in the first place and climbing another flight of stairs to reach the top again.

That's right ....

I continued walking up the stairs. There were no animals at all coming out of the passage, only walls of rock and dry earth on all sides. Silence and darkness enveloped him. If this was a cave, I would have seen lots of bats in it. But, this didn't happen at all and was different from what I thought.

I have climbed 10,001 steps.

So ....

There was the sound of coins clattering falling from the top of the stairs. I heard it and stopped.

*Cling! Cling! Cling!*

A very small and slowly growing sound filled the hallway. The coin stopped right in front of my right foot. It was a gold coin, I stared at the coin. I still haven't taken it, the gold coin is still near my right foot. I still look at him, it makes me like a statue that is only fixated on wealth.

My face was flat, I heard the jingle sound of another coin falling. 4 gold coins appeared near my feet and increased to 5. This isn't much... I who saw it were still silent and staring at the 5 gold coins. I still looked at him with a straight face.

So ....

There was the sound of thousands of coins jingling as if they had been accidentally dropped.

"As I thought... Too easy." I lowered my head slightly and left the impression of an evil smile from the shadows of darkness. "Hahha... I won!"
