It has been a few weeks since I released my most recent masterpiece. I have been invited to talks, interviews, and parties that congratulate me on my success. I didn't expect all these to happen in such a short amount of time. Honestly, I feel like this novel would be a flop, but, people liked the out-of-the-box ideas I placed into the story. It's amazing to know that people bought my books because they love the interesting stories I placed in them, It's a mix of something classic and new at the same time. I wish I could share these stories with my children once I have one. But, me and my husband both know that we can't afford to raise a child yet, not at this time exactly. I wish the world was somewhat like my story, where there's only peace and harmony between everyone. No matter about background, title, or race. I wish we could spread this mutual feeling to the entire world.
"Babe, I'm home, sorry, the interviewer asked so much stuff... Babe?" Yuuki walked into her house where she shared with her husband, hoping that he was waiting for her for dinner. She switched on the lights, and to her surprise, her friends from childhood till adulthood were gathered in her living room to throw her yet another congratulations party. She can't help but smile at their effort to gather together. She noticed her husband Daisuke standing behind the crowd. As she walked through while thanking her friends, they all cheered and congratulated her on her success. As she reached into her Daisuke's arms, she couldn't help but kiss him on his lips and thanked him for gathering her closest friends in one room.
The night went on as a big get-together, filled with laughs and chatter, it went on till late at night, it's a beautiful sight to see everyone getting along with each other, as they all left one by one. Yuuki suddenly felt empty, but the feeling of Daisuke's arms around her made her remember that she was very grateful to have such a thoughtful and supportive husband by her side at all times. They danced together in the living room, through the hallways, and ending it in the bedroom. They both settled into bed together, they faced each other before closing their eyes.
The moment Yuuki closed her eyes, she saw herself going through everything since childhood, seeing herself not being the best in class, getting into a good high school, seeing her parents being supportive of her work and dreams, going out on a date with Daisuke for the first time, going to a firework festival as a surprise date by Daisuke, going to her dream college, walking down the isle and seeing Daisuke in a tuxedo, and the party that happened just a few hours ago. she felt a warm feeling in her heart before everything went dark.
3 days later,
"Daisuke, she wouldn't want to see you in this state if she knew that you're still mourning for her passing."
"I... I know it's just, I didn't expect this day would come this early."
"None of us did, Suke, but, she wouldn't want to see you give up on everything, trying to kill yourself, because you can't live without her. Open your eyes Daisuke, We are still here, we are still with you. So please, step away from the ledge, and come to us, I believe that you still want to carve the future that you planned with Yuuki, but the only difference is that she will support you, spiritually, and still be by your side."
Daisuke took a deep breath and stepped away from the ledge slowly, and ran towards Asahi, one of Yuuki's closest childhood friends. He hugged him while crying, and walked together towards their destination.
In a place far away, a protagonist was born.
"Kizumi, do you hear me? Please, wake up." Said a soft voice.
"Where... Where am I, Who is Ki... Kizumi?" The unknown person opened her eyes and saw that she was in a white void of sorts, confused, she looked around and saw that she was not in a bedroom with her lover. She tried to scream out a name, but her mind suddenly became blurry. She turned around and saw a girl that seemed to be the person that woke her up.
"Where am I?" Asked the girl.
"You are in the realm between worlds, I call this void, the library of memories. You have been summoned, fortunate one. I am Pelko, the protector of the library. I am here to guide your soul to a new beginning." Said the girl who introduced themselves as Pelko.
"Did... Did I die?" Asked the summoned girl.
"You could say that, but you will soon be transported to Mokushiroku Kurayami, and start your new journey as Kizumi Owari. My last masterpiece." Explained Pelko.
"Mokushiro Kurayami? Why does that sound so familiar? Anyways, what do you mean by your final masterpiece?" Asked Kizumi.
"Well, you see, inside all these books in the library, all of them have one thing in common, the protagonists are all Kizumi, and you... You will be the last Kizumi to ever exist. No Kizumi shall come after you. The end of all Kizumis. Now, I shall send you to your world, The world that you created." After Pelko explained, she sent Kizumi's soul into a book where she then woke up in a castle. But Kizumi still has so many questions, about this new world that she is in, but she somewhat feels a familiarity of the name Mokushiroku Kurayami.
"Why does this feel so familiar but so distant?"
