Otherworlder: The Man in Search for his Lost Memories

004: I met the Annoying Piece of Paper

I Died and was Transferred to Another World Only to Search for My Lost Memories... Maybe? - 004

## 004

I am now in the room where I, together with someone I don't know supposedly stayed last night.
Yan ang sabi ni Innkeeper Lucinda.

Nang lumapit ako sa kanya after kong kumain, nahirapan akong mag-isip ng itatanong pertaining Main Quest: Rescue the Village. Napaisip din ako na kapag nagpabigla-bigla ako sa mga desisyon ko ay lalo akong malayo sa goal ko. So tinanong ko nalang kung saan ang room na inokupahan namin(daw) kagabi, kunwari nalimutan ko.
I'm thinking along the lines na maaaring may naiwang clue sa kwartong yon.

And now that I'm here, napanganga lang ako, dahil sa halos kapareho ng time-frozen room ang kwartong toh with only some differences.

There's a backpack on the bed and some kind of letter at the study table.
Did the guy who brought me here in this world left this for me? Teka hindi ko pala naitanong kung lalaki ba o babae ang kasama kong nagcheck-in. Dahil isa lang ang kama dito, baka kung anong nasa isip ni Innkeeper Lucinda kung sakaling lalaki yun.

Lumapit ako sa table para tignan ang nilalaman ng sulat. Heto nanaman, mababasa ko kaya ang nakasulat doon? Sana naman.
Dinampot ko mula sa mesa ang sulat at binuklat para mabasa ang nilalaman.
Medyo nakahinga ako ng maluwag ng makitang tagalog yun.

"To the Man from the Other World:
Isinulat ko ito sa lengguwahe ng mundo mo para hindi ka na mahirapang magbasa. (Ang bait ko ba? Ang bait ko diba????)
Anyway, kailangan ko pa bang magpakilala? Siguro naman kapag nabasa mo ito ay may idea ka na kung ano ako. (Ano nga ba ako? Abangan....)----"

Anong kalokohan toh? Nang-iinis ba ang siraulong toh? Pwede na ba ko magmura????
Nang aakmain ko ng punitin ang sulat ay may lumitaw ulit na bagong entry sa ilalim.
It appears magically. Humahaba din ang papel as new texts are appearing.

"Oops.... huwag mo munang punitin dahil hindi pa ako tapos. Hihihi.
Don't you want to know why you were brought here? I know you do, kaya bibigyan kita ng clue. Mehehe.
But first, I'll tell you a short story."

*Yawns*
Hindi ko napigilang humikab. Mukhang mahabang basahan toh kaya naupo na ako sa upuan. Habang tumatagal ang pamamalagi ko dito ay nawawala na sa isip ko ang common sense na umiiral sa dati kong mundo. Isinandal ko ang likod ko sa upuan at nagsimula ng magbasa.

"There was once an entity who floats on nothingness, kung gaano katagal na siya doon ay hindi niya alam. She floats and floats without doing anything...

And then, a thought flashed at some point on Her 'thoughtlessly floating in nothingness Hobby'.
"BORIING~~~~"
Yup. At some point in time She got bored doing nothing. So She swam and swam searching for something in that Nothingness but to no avail. Something will not exist on Nothingness.
And then her boredom meter rise to the Limit. Napaisip siya, "If this is Nothingness, bakit ako nag-eexist dito? Was it me who made this Nothingness or this Nothingness made me as it's Something?
.......................
Oiiiiiiiiiii. Nagbabasa ka pa ba?"

What's with this unusually interactive letter? Na-predict kaya niya na tatamarin akong basahin toh?

"Phew (relieved sigh). Huwag ka munang tamarin, heto na talaga...

Either way, Inisip niya nalang na sabay silang nabuo. If she's the Something in this Nothingness, this isn't the Nothingness anymore. As it's something, she can supplement it by making a lot of something to fill that Nothingness. And starting from that She created Universes, Stars and Planets, each with it's unique lights and sizes. And then, another long interval in time passed again as she stares at her creations...
