(This part is only the prologue, there isn't soukoku yet. rip)


Everything was black. I was in a dark room- no, a dark space. It felt like I was floating in mid-air. How long have I been here? Who am I? Am I the only one here? I don't know anything. Then suddenly, a glimmering light appeared, it grabbed "me" and pulled me out of the darkness. What exactly is out of the darkness? Is it just a white space? Or is it a place filled with all sorts of exciting things? 

Well, I'm about to see.

.....

"He's...here! The experiment was a success!" Rimbaud, a noble servant of the King, screamed in joy as he successfully conducted his "experiment". He then turned to his partner, Verlaine, who didn't look very happy. "Are you sure this one's gonna work? The last time you did this, you almost blew the king's head off." The blonde man sighed.

 2 weeks ago, Explorers of the Kingdom of Glyswing went out to venture into the open world and had found a shiny velvet meteor known to be a part of "Arahabaki", the God of Calamity. In the same day the meteor had been found, a child from the Nakahara family died. 

Rimbaud took this chance to revive the child using the part of Arahabaki and use the child as a weapon to protect the Kingdom. The child's parents disagreed to this at first, but then realized their child were some sort of "hero" if Rimbaud brought him back. Verlaine thought the parents didn't care about the child at all unless he accomplished something "heroic". Though Rimbaud didn't care. All the long-haired man wanted was to be some of use to the King. Rimbaud had already done several experiments like this before, but all had failed. Fortunately, Chuuya Nakahara came back, as a vessel of the God of Calamity.

Now, back to the present. "Verlaine, please. Let me have this moment." Rimbaud giggled a little. "I mean, not only did I put some godly power inside him, but I basically brought him back to life! That's something everyone thought was impossible for a long time....until now." The long-haired man suddenly felt a light punch to his shoulder. "Yeah, yeah. I guess that's pretty amazing." Verlaine smiled lightly as he walked towards the ginger-haired boy, whom was inside a large, transparent container. He then pressed a button which set the boy free. "Get this kid some clean clothes and lay him on a bed. I'll be informing his parents." The blonde man walked away from the room, leaving Rimbaud and Chuuya alone.

....

Huh? Am I out of the dark space? Is this what the other side looks like? Ah, it's dark too. Wait a minute, I'm just closing my eyes. I opened my eyes to see that I'm in a hospital gown, laying in a bed and I'm in...a weird looking room. It had bottles with weird liquid in them and...some other complicated science stuff I don't know. I then heard some weird noise coming from small animals outside. "What...is that noise?" I groaned as I scratched my head. "It's the birds." A voice spoke from my right. I turned around in surprise as I see a man with long, black hair. I didn't even notice him there. "Huh? What the ...who the hell are you?" I asked the tall man. "Am I in a hospital? Did I get some serious injury? What even is my name? What's your name? Wh-" As I was just about to ask more, the man interrupted me. "Woah, woah. Take it easy. I'll explain everything to you, since you really have no memory.."  

"I'm Arthur Rimbaud. You're Chuuya Nakahara. You recently died from unknown cause 2 weeks ago, the same day that the "Arahabaki meteor piece" was found. Me and my friend Paul Verlaine worked on bringing you back to life as well as making you the Arahabaki's vessel." Rimbaud explained to me everything. That I basically had some god power inside of me. 

"I...died? And came back like nothing happened?!" I yelled, and as soon as I did, I coughed up blood that spilled onto my blanket. Rimbaud sighed and got a napkin to clean up the blood left on my face. "What did I say about taking it slow? Take a rest here. You'll get to see your family tomorrow." The tall man said as I laid back down. Family, huh? I wonder how they'll react when they see me. I don't even know what the look like. I fluttered my eyelids as I fall into a deep slumber.
