the beginning

Void. Nothing was there. No light, no dimensions, no cosmos, no world, no concepts—literally, nothing. I couldn't see anything; there wasn't even a color. Everything I used to hear no longer existed. I didn't even understand what was happening. All I could recall was nothingness. I didn't even know myself. Is this perhaps due to the effect of the place, or because I lost myself?

Then she said

​"How in the hell did I get here? Oh, my head hurts. Wait a minute, how am I still alive anyway?"

​She spoke, but there was no sound, and she couldn't even move, because this place was without the concept of dimensions, time, or space.

​Then she heard a voice. There was no sound. It was only inside her head. The voice spoke with a Nihilistic tone

​"I see. My poor little avatar. Lost like this. What a sorrow."

​The girl was frightened but tried to calm down.

​"Who are you?"

she asked politely.

​The Voice

"It's normal to lose your memories and everything here. This is where everything ends and everything begins. I am you, and you are just a part of me. Just an emanation from me, that's all. Did you understand, my little creature?"

​The girl was confused, but she tried to go along with it. "Okay, I understand. At least, I don't know what makes me sad about my life. If I ended up here, at least give me some entertainment instead of this annoying nothingness."

​The Voice, in the same tone

"Well, your name is Shinkori. I will let you live a new life again, and I will be inside you as the source of your strength. Well, not much. You are lucky because you are the first one who challenged the stage of enlightenment, and this is interesting. Most people change and return to me, but here you are, loving yourself."
