Chapter 1: The Unknown World

“Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one’s head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no tomorrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace.” -Oscar Wilde

_____

The abyss darkness was empty and suffocating, amid the darkness, a floating body hovered in the gloomy space. 

It is a young man. He had sharp and melancholic features with dark brown hair. His milky white skin adds a slightly feminine texture to his complexion. He has a tall and lean body, seeming powerful and flexible. But his high-necked shirt paired with a trench coat and black dress pants frame him as tall and elegant, like a young elite.

Yang Yuan opened his eyes, displaying his beautiful gray, almost silver orbs. There was a visible vigilance and confusion that lay in his eyes but a pair of thin round glasses obstructed it. The melancholy and elegant atmosphere around the lad turned sharp and violent and he looked like a villainous beauty.

His thin lips open and closed a few times before his low and soft voice reverberated in the emptiness. "…where is this?" 

He was still confused, but his eyes remained calm and he didn't convey any anxiety or panicked expression. 

He was still waiting for any explanation and was scrutinizing the void space he woke up in. He believed this is not the work of a God. Hell, he never believed in God his entire life. 

He remembered the last moment of his death, his injuries were severe enough that even the best surgeon couldn't save himself, and he knew what his body condition was, the injuries were grave enough that he could die immediately, delaying his death for a minute was his only limit at that time. Right now, his body was intact and the clothes on his body weren't torn or ripped apart like in his memories. This further supports his conjecture of some sort of mysterious power or technologies ahead of time, like some sort of invention.

Besides, his instinct flared again to ascertain that someone or something will come as soon as his consciousness awakened in this vast, desolate space and his instincts never failed him. A shining bright light appeared before him and a transparent panel materialized.
