Chapter 3 - Learning Of This New World

Oh no, did I upset her? What did I do wrong? I read the note.

Just then the teacher came running because of the commotion. 

"What's wrong? Are you ok?"

Sierrna quickly wiped her tears and gained her composure back and looked at the teacher. 

"He remembered my name."

The teacher, shocked at this news, looked at Zero and asked.

"Zero what's her name?"

"Its Sierrna" 

The teacher couldn't believe it after all the wipes he finally remembered something even if just a name it was a huge step in the right direction. The teacher quickly pulled a notebook and jotted down the events that just happened and then helped Zero and Sierrna to class. Zero didn't know where to sit so Sierrna showed him where. The teacher then made a holo screen appear which showed text and images of things Zero had never seen before. 

Ok, let's start over then hello class my name Ms.Xander and i'm here to teach you the new laws and customs are god Thanatos has now brought back. Will get started with the Repopulation operation, Ever since the battle of the order of knights and the celestials. We have called this event the fall, during the fall our foolish king challenged Thanatos to a war. Thanatos showed and eliminated every supporter of the king within mere hours he wiped four million of the king's followers. After he got rid of all the evil followers. His advisor and the second strongest being, notified him that he had eliminated sixty percent of the population. After he was told this he initiated the repopulation operation, as soon as someone is born they are assigned a partner for life and when the both reach the age of eighteen they will then have to have a minimum of three kids and less and you would be considered a traitor and put down by the UDF specialist. With this new operation it should only take twenty years to reach the population number it once was before the fall. The next part of this new plan is the housing situation and teaching responsibility to the children. Five people are selected to live in one home rundown or nice depending on the skills and dedication ones show. Once you are given a home, there are roles in the house: the commoner and the king and queen. The two who are to be married are the king and queen. It's a harsh but simple plan. The one rule that must never be broken is disobeying the person with the role of king. If one defies that person they are immediately executed on the spot as it shows that the person who defied the king is a traitor and must be dealt with. The final rule is if one breaks a rule or does something that deserves punishment then it is not only that person who is punished, but the whole house as one is punished including the king and queen. It shows that the person in the king role is not studied for the leadership role and is punished, stripped of their rank and removed and sent to a place called the eternal loop. We know nothing of what the place is but no one is ever seen again once they are sent there. Ms.Xander finished with her lesson and started to repeat it again.

King? Strict Rules? Queen? A place no one comes back from. This is so hard to understand, but someone how I feel like it's better than what it was before. If what she says is true then I have been given the King role and I'm guessing Sierrna, my partner was given the Queen role. I guess this is my life now, but still something in my heart is telling me this isn't right. It feels like I'm forgetting someone special to me, but that can't be I wrote about Sierrna. She must be that special person to me. 

Zero sat and thought about everything, not realizing a terrifying presence behind him.

"Pay attention Zero!!!" 

Smack!!! 

Zero was hit on the head by a very angry Ms.Xander using a rolled up textbook, she knocked Zero out of his seat. Zero fell to the ground rubbing his head after being hit, dumbfounded by what hit . He looked up and saw a very scary face on his teacher. She looked like a demon to him. He quickly got up and apologized over and over. He got back in his seat with a shameful look on his face. 

Great good job you went and pissed off our teacher. An unknown voice said in Zero's mind.

I know i'm sorry

You better be

Iam 

Wait, who are you? 

You, dummy

No im me 

Ok smart one you're talking to yourself in your head so who else could I be? 

Before Zero could answer or think about it he's interrupted.

"Zero! Stop communicating with the goddess." Ms. Xander yelled at Zero. 

"What?" 

"You just had a conversation in your head, yes?"

"Um, yeah I'm sorry."

"It's not your fault it's our goddess Demorshia."

"Demor-whoa" 

"Demorshia! Don't slander her name again." 

"I'm sorry, but could you explain."

"Oh yes, certain people who attract our goddess attention can have what we call divine talks with her at any time she wishes to. Although do not tell anyone that you can talk to her or have heard her." The teacher had a worried expression on her face as she quickly tried to seem happy and calm. She then pointed to the corner of the room which had writing on it that read the rules of the new world.

1. Follow all rules

2. Report any suspicious behavior

3. Never conversate with the goddess

4. If you have seen someone do rule 3, report them to a UDF member immediately If no member is present, take upon yourself to get rid of the person permanently.

5. If you break any rules please report yourself to the nearest UDF base. 

 Thank you for helping keep order and stability in Dimensia

"I will not report you Zero but, please do not be seen doing that again." Ms. Xander ressaured Zero he was still safe.

Zero was revealed he wouldn't be executed for this. His new found safety was short lived as the student in the room who had not said anything finally stood up out of his seat. 

"I'm going to tell them you can talk to the goddess." A boy with orange fuzzy hair said as he sprinted out the door and down the hallway. 

Zero's heart sunk in his chest he started to panic and sweat profusely. Zero fell out of his seat and started to breathe very heavily and quickly. Ms. Xander immediately went to Zero side to try and calm him down. Zero couldn't tell what was happening around him, his vision started to turn black. 

What's happening? Why is everything going black? I can't hear anything. 

Ms. Xander was over Zero yelling at someone in the doorway but, Zero couldn't make anything out all he saw was figures appear in the room and before they approached him his vision went completely dark and his hearing was silent. Zero opened his eyes to absolute darkness all around him. 

Where am I? 

Zero wondered as he tried to recall what happened. While Zero was trying, a figure started to form from a bright light that appeared out of nowhere. It was a woman of indescribable beauty. The woman fully materialized and smiled at Zero which made his heart beat a little faster. 

"Hello Zero." The woman said.

Zero, still shocked by the woman's beauty, stood there infatuated. After a while Zero came back to his senses.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to stare." 

The woman just gave a little chuckle.

"It's ok I'm glad we get to meet again."

"Again?"

"Oh yes we have met many times but it seems your power was very weak the last couple days so i couldn't make a connection, but I did today so i took this opportunity to bring you to my domain. Although I'm very sad that you have forgotten me. I'm a merciful goddess so I'll forgive you since you're my betrothed, but that being said I wont be so forgiving the next time." An intimidating aura could be felt from her last words.

Zero took a minute to process and then thanked the goddess for being nice. 

"Thank you for forgiving me… wait,"

"Betrothed!!! I'm engaged to you? How does that even happen? This has to be some joke right Sierrna is pulling one over on me right." 

As Zero uttered Sierrna's name he was sent flying down and slammed against a newly formed floor. The woman had a terrifying expression on her face.

"Dear did I hear you say another woman's name during our special alone time?" She looked at him with pure rage and jealousy.

Zero still on the floor with the Goddess standing over him with a crazy look. 

Oh no what do i say what can i do? 

Zero was thinking when he heard a woman's voice in his head.

You can't escape me in your head dear

Zero froze with pure fear.
