Finding herself in a strange, unfamiliar place, where everything around her felt frozen in time. As she looked around, she realized that nothing moved; everything was still. She touches her eyes and mutters to herself.

"WTF! Where am I? And what is this place?"

"Am I dead? Is this heaven?" She started looking everywhere, but no one was there.

Kiara laughed, the sound sharp and bitter. "The great Kiara Kim, done in by a truck. Some joke this is."

 "In this cruel world, I gave my all to survive, end the end, death was an I earned?" Her last memory was that she had an accident, the truck hit her car, the pain, the cold of night beneath her, but here she was in a vast place. Freely moving.

Before she explored the place, a soft, melting voice reached her ears.

**"And what if I say this is just A new beginning of your new life?"**

The voice resonated through her bones, ancient as creation itself. It comes from the air. Kiara's blurry vision sharpened slightly, and she turned her head toward the source of the voice. Kiara chased the voice, where was it coming from? Light shimmered like oil on water, and suddenly, there was a door – ornate, carved with symbols. But That door was not in that place when she first looked.

 'What? when is that door came in this place?' she thought as she slowly approached the door. Kiara opened the door and led her to a place where the giant evergreen tree had.

"Welcome, The Child of Two Worlds."

A sudden voice came from somewhere in that place. A calm voice.

"Gho…Ghost," with a trembling voice, she said.

"No child"

"Who are you? and why don't you come in front of me?" Kiara stumbled back. Her voice trembles with uncertainty as she questions, unsure if she's in a realm between life and death.

 
"Ahh… I didn't mean to scare you. I'm sorry, my child"

"The Tree, where you are stood. I am what your people once called me, Divine Tree – the wish-fulfilling tree. The World Tree. I stand at the crossroads of all realities."

A tall tree in a vast place stood at the center, The entire tree breathed. The leaves trembled, the air shimmered, and suddenly. Kaira felt it. A presence so vast and incomprehensible that her mind struggled to grasp its full existence. The giant tree introduced itself with a calm and melting voice.

 [* this asterisk is to highlight some important information.]

"Divine Tree, Eternity? You mean I'm stuck in life or death, right?"

"Yupp"

"Legends tell of the Ascended Peak, a place where time and space collapse into a single moment, where the sacred tree whispers the secrets of creation," Kiara said. Symbolizing the ultimate source of power and fulfillment.

"Yupp… you can say this too, child. But there are so many other universes where it was located. The one who created me was the creator of Universes."

"Universes? So there is another world, too? Just like us?" Kiara spoke with a mix of curiosity. Her calm look was nothing like she was dead and she was stuck in that place.

"Yes," the voice carried the weight of ancient wisdom.

 
"Scholars have long spoken of bubble universes—realities coexisting like foam upon the cosmic sea. In some civilizations, this knowledge has been preserved for millennia. Their sages described a vast existence where each world is but a ripple in an infinite ocean. "

"They spoke of cycles within cycles, wheels turning within wheels. The great spiral of time moves ever forward, yet it folds upon itself, ever repeating, ever-changing."

The Sacred Tree started explaining how she was born and who created her. And what is this place?

"But why I'm stuck in here? Is there no way to go back to my world?" She was talking freely as if she knew the tree was harmless. Kiara's voice started low she already knew that there was no way, but her heart refused to accept that cruel reality.

"No, and you can't go there. And that is not your world."

 Sacred Tree gave her a piece of news that, like a bomb, dropped on her life. And Kiara's uneasiness became a reality.

"What nonsense are you mumbling? Where I lived my whole life before my death and worked hard to survive. That is not my world. Does that make sense?" Kiara's pulse quickened, panicking about what the tress was saying. Her heart shattered as she heard the tree.

"Hey, you. Take me back to my world?" She was frustrated and glaring at The Sacred Tree.

Without thinking, Kiara spoke, she couldn't control her feelings, her whole life came in front of her eyes as if she once again wanted to live that life, maybe because of attachments to some precious things that led her to once again world where she wanted to go. 

"The life you lived, the body you inhabited – it wasn't yours. Long ago, your soul crossed dimensions."

 "The woman who appeared in front of you, Elara. She was the real owner of that body. And you... you are Elara Larousse, from the Thalassian Concord Empire."

 "Real owner, body? Are you out of your mind? I'm sorry, I don't want to play this game, there is my life, my business. Please send me back." Kaira's gaze darted around the place, taking unfamiliar surroundings and listening to the story that was like a fairy tale book.

"Ohh… dear, I didn't have much time to explain everything now," "The soul wears bodies like clothes, discarding old ones for new. It's time to wear your true form again."

 Tree said in the same kind and calm tone as if she loved Kiara and wanted to return to her place, where she belonged.

"I'm Elara Larousse?" Tears slid down Kiara's cheeks, each one containing a memory that suddenly felt like a lie. Her first business deal. The day she took control of the company. Every victory, every sacrifice...

"I understand what you feel, My child."

And with that, a sparkled magic comes from the tree. She blessed a Kiara or now A real Elara Larousse.

"Elara?" Her voice became hoarse, barely above a whisper. She cleared her throat and tried again. "I don't know what's going on with me and why....?" Kiara didn't know who is Elara and why Tree brought her back to her here. She didn't know where she'd be going. Her mind exploded with so many questions. One thing she knew was the concept of a parallel world, but she didn't expect that she was going to experience and live there. 

In our world, Earth, there are countless theories about parallel worlds and multiple dimensions that exist, but none can truly justify what is real. What if another dimension exists—another world, just like us, or perhaps they were different too? All theories lead to a parallel world and another dimension.

Ahh.. this is ridiculous. I'm going to experience that theory now. Seriously, I'm unlucky!

"The world you live in now is a magical world, where magic is everything." The Tree continued, "But the problem is that you didn't awaken your magic power"

"What? So, do I get to start over? Fight my way up again in a world I don't even understand?" Of course, this was nothing to me, I already experienced it once, after all, but the new place where I am not used to be how I live? Kiara thought,

 
"Ha..ha… you don't have to worry about anything right now, you are the strongest child."

"….."

The sacred smile

"You know what, My Child, while you're busy surviving in that place. Remember to live your life."

Light began to fill the void, reality bending like a prism. But the Tree's final words cut through like destiny itself:

 "And when the wheel turns again when betrayal comes... remember this moment. Remember who you truly are. Don't forgive & and forget those people."

 "Wait—what betrayal? What do you—"

 But the Tree was gone, and Kiara was falling through dimensions, through realities, through time itself...

 *Elara Larousse Chamber*

With sleepy eyes, Elara mumbled in bed, her fair complexion was darkened today. She woke in an elegant bed, where everything was put in perfect places. She felt heavy and sluggish, as though she was just a minute ago she was in an empty place and now in a lavish bed and elegant room. Her body twisted as the sensation returned, and the thought of a tree came into her mind. 

 She was no longer Kiara Kim from Seoul, and her new identity was Elara, she didn't know. Kiara – walked to the window. The sea breeze carried the salt-sweet scent of the coast, and the setting sun painted the Larousse Estate's gardens in shades of gold and amber.

 Kiara stepped forward to the Window. The air around her was wild, and the weather was clear, but The Larousse Estate was located on the south seaside of the Empire. Kiara was sad at first and felt a pang of loss, but the new life the god gives her, she didn't think that much then. 

'why would I be sad for those people who don't care about me, this is my second chance,' she thought her heart was pounding. 'and I can't waste this precious life.'

"This is where from now on I'll live."
