Hello everybody this is the energetic blue goddess, Lua, here to greet everyone with vigor... Hmmm? What am I doing you say~ well I am a goddess so I govern several worlds and keep tract of the flow of the cycle making sure no soul dies before their cycle finishes, because of some foolish old god we came to know that we must not let that collapse happen again, seriously though he was a neglecful god always ignoring the flow saying,"It's fine~ it's fine~ the flow won't be ruined if I just took a break or something~", seriously I wonder how he even became a god. He ignores the worlds, plays around with female inhabitants of each world, seriously he is not fit for the title of god, he even goes as far as sexually harassing Yur and I, I'm glad someone like him got thrown into the Great Abyss. I hope it that never happens again, my cycle almost got dragged into his mess afterall and a god without a cycle is the same being just stored trash.
I'm glad we took precautions and made ways so a collapse won't happen again... Or so I thought. One of Rokk inhabitants in the world without magic died prematurely. Maaa... If this goes out of control it'll be a huge problem since Rokk is the head in our cycle group if he gets banished into the Great Abyss we will seriously be in trouble. Luckily, Rokk got the human's soul out of the cycle before it rejoined the flow, that was close but what is he going to to do with that person now, he could just throw that into the Great Abyss so it won't join the flow ever again but knowing Rokk he dislikes doing things this way. I will try to tune into what they are saying though as I thought I am not the only one curious about this but for now let's focus on the main topic at hand. This time I fully tune in on Rokk and the child he brought in, he me notices but he doesn't seem to care about it that much, I'm glad.
[Don't worry, boy if you want to asl something, we can talk like this]
Hmm? Mind Link? Ah it seems that child can't speak... strange I'm sure that a soul can speak properly if they are not bound by their flesh but this one looks like his injury is bound to his soul itself, I need to ask Merl about this later.
[Ah! Sorry I was wondering how I can communicate with you. Thank you for your consideration]
My that child is polite, I'm glad the first person we let enter gods realm is someone like him. I'm glad that he child isn't anything like that useless old god. As I was thinking that something really unexpected happened. After explaining, who he is and such, even about his carelessness he deeply bowed in deeply bowed in front of him asking for forgiveness. Something even we have never seen, a god personally apologizing to a human soul, but what was even more surprising is the the boy himself, he urged him to stand up and forgave him on the spot, we could understand if he became furious such should be something common in all forms of life, saying that a person death was caused by carelessness and expected to be forgiven are things that have a possibility close to none to ever occur, yet here he is, such a person who can say that his death nothing to apologize about.
Seriously if he had lived longer, he might have been able to change the entirety of his world, someone who is even able to forgive a powerful god who has made a mistake and made deeply bowed in front of him because of that mistake that child is truly admirable. If he were born in my of my worlds could become someone who can changed everything, unite all types of races all by himself, I wonder. As I was wondering that Rokk made a suggestion, bring the human to a different world make him continue living there... that's true he can do that for him... but the required magic power to create a new body for a soul that just got out of the flow is more than what Rokk can handle, of course it it's a stray he can easily make a body for it but a soul who is previously in the middle of the cycle is harder to produce alone. And yet, he refused, if he can rejoin the flow of his own world he would be glad but if it's too troublesome to do he would rather just be eradicated instead... this child... I fell even more silent by those words alone, he would gladly throw away his everything if it would harm someone, if it was possible I would gladly take him in but... the flow of one god's cycle is different from the others making it close to impossible to do an exchange if it's a stray then it's easy but again if it's cycle is still active then it is better to give up... Huh... This child seriously his kindness is his weakness.
Rokk will personally give him abilities, allow him to request two things and give him a companion so he won't be lonely, I know you wish to make it up to him but seriously Rokk this is not enough for someone who got removed from the flow... I sigh in my heart truly, truly I wish to do something for him.
[... but exactly how did I die?]
I got back to my senses when I heard him say that, Matthew, the first soul to step i to gods realm, exactly what did he do to die, I am quite curious as well.
[Ah yes... Now that you mention it I haven't told you how you died... Umuu... It was actually quite commendable, when you saw a speeding car almost hitting a child who tripped on the streets, you immediately left your friends side diving in to save her.]
Waaa!... Matthew that's pretty amazing of you, you who had no relation to that child dove in front of a vehilcle just to try and save her. You truly are someone that can change the world with your abilities alone, you don't need your voice nor do you need your hearing, you can become someone greater that any king that my worlds have created. And yet that itself is what got you killed...
[Ah so that's how... i feel bad for Leo and the others for suddenly leaving them behind...]
Even in a situation where you died, you are still thinking of others... Matthew... I can only feel bitter for allowing someone like him be like this, if it comes to this I will gladly help in creating his body... Hmm? Looks like his going to use his first request... Let's hear him out for now.
[Then if you please... Let me be able to see them one last time]
Matthew... For some reason my heart is tightening up just from hearing him say that.
[As you wish]
Rokk started create a mirror... Ah so it's that... An original creation of that useless old god, he only ever uses it to spy on the female inhabitants of his worlds while they are bathing, truly a detestable man.
[With this you will be able to see where the people you want to see are. You just need to concentrate with your heart so you can see them, don't worry about the sound I made it so you can hear it as well.]
Well I guess I'll tune out for now, I don't want to pry into his personal-
[...I'm blessed to have born as their child. Mom, Dad from the bottom of my heart to my very soul, I AM SORRY AND THANK YOU FOR RAISING ME.]
... My eyes start to tear up as I heard him say that... I couldn't tune out as I heard the sounds from the mirror.
"Matt you fucking idiot, why did you have to leave us like that!? What's the point of us toughening you up for the real world for!?"
This people...
"We didn't like how kind you are to everyone, everyone would've taken advantage of you with that you, nitwit. We wanted you to be strong enough so you wont be used by others, dammit!"
They deliberately bullied him in order to make him strong... They even made themselves looked like the villain for his sake, all that so that he won't be taken advantage of... He... He is truly loved by even his enemies. His close friends only able to sit there, their eyes already swollen from the tears but he seems to looking for someone specifically. As the mirror dials in to the place where he wants to see, I could see a boy sitting his bed hugging his legs. As it is, it seems that that boy is blaiming himself for not being able to save Matthew, that he should be the one to die instead of him. I don't think that kind of thinking is okay but as bad as it sad I agree with him.
[No, Peter that's wrong you shouldn't think that, there's nothing you could've done, I decided that myself and payed the price for my actions, I won't approve of you or anyone wanting to switch with me for the things I did. I have no regrets for my actions... No! I'm glad I did what I did with my life, if sacrificing my life can save someone else then I'm happy to do it without question, that is my conviction.]
This child will always be willing to throw away their life if it means it can save someone... I cannot let that happen! I cannot let this child's happiness be something he can only achieve by only killing himself. As if feeling the same emotions as I, I could feel that the other gods do not want this child to have this kind of life. I could see it on Rokk's face as well, he doesn't want him to have that kind of conviction.
"As long as his memory lives on he will live inside you, inside everyone he has shown kindness to, and knowing him that's a lot of people, hehehe... but remember this as long as you, his friends and everyone he has touched is alive he will stay alive"
They loved him so much that even through death he lives on, admirable, truly admirable, this child that has only been alive for 18 years; which for gods is no longer than a day, has saved so many and changed them as well, he is truly someone worth watching over.
As I look towards Matthew after he has finished viewing his loved ones, he turned around facing Rokk while looking at the floor, as he was about to say something suddenly Rokk gently caresses his head, that was the final blow for him. He started to cry but it was a weird cry, the sound he was trying to convey his hardest to let that sound come out but he couldn't do anything as he clings onto Rokk's chest, tears and such staining his clothes but it didn't bother him, it's the least he can do for the child, whose life he accidentally ruined. I can see tears forming from his usual expressionless face, this is how much he regrets being neglecful for once. To him, he feels as though he has taken away a loved one from a lot of people, before he doesn't care about such things as emotions, making the flow of the cycle move, to provide it with the proper cycle that was his reason of existance he was a machine made for only one purpose but because of that he unintentionally took someone who doesn't need to be taken yet, he could clearly fix this just by erasing his very existence by placing him into the Great Abyss but somehow his machine-like decisions faltered by knowing more and more about Matthew. He has woken up the heart of the expressionless machine.
Just watching Matthew cry from afar, my heart couldn't take it, it keeps tightening each time I hears his painful shouts. I immediately rushed over his side, as I got closer he seems to be slowly calming down, I immediately hugged him tightly as if I don't want to let this child go, as if I don't want him to try and be someone else, this child is someone I could never meet in my worlds. He is too precious to let him be alone in a new world. I let go of him and put my hands on his cheeks; it's soft... it fits his gentle looking face, I said to him using Mink Link: [It's okay now]
He seemed puzzled by what I said but Rokk interfered explaining who we are to the confused Matthew. Once he explains he also talks about how Mink Link is something that can hear even the inner thought of the person as well as their emotion, he once again apoligizes because he became negligent once against just for the sole reason of wanting to know what he was thinking. Though this time another suprising thomg happened, Yur, the man hating goddess, stepped forward she was shorter than me and amongst all the gods also the youngest, she hated males because of the foolish old god terrorising her but even with that said I couldn't feel any sort of anger nor disgust coming from her. She stood infront of him, reached out her arms and took his head plunging it into her bosom. "My my she's quite bold" is what I thought, she then proceeded to caress his head also using Mind Link saying [There, there, everything will be alright, we will make it alright.], she's quite bold despite hating men except for Matthe it seems but I can agree with her, we will not make Matthew have to give up hopis life to save anyone ever again.
