[Roland POV]
Meanwhile In an unknown a space of darkness...

Roland: ("Huh... is this what they'd call paradise? So empty... all dark... all blank...")

Drifting in the endless void, Roland's consciousness slowly began to fade, his thoughts scattering like dust in the wind. The weight of his past, the regrets, and the sorrow all seemed to dissolve, as if they no longer held any meaning in this place.

Just as his soul was on the verge of slipping away entirely, a soft, gentle voice echoed through the emptiness. The sound, though faint, pierced the void like a lifeline.

Voice: "You... do not have to fade. There is still a choice... a way to remain. Become something more... become a spirit."



The words carried an inexplicable warmth, pulling him back from the brink. Roland's mind stirred, fighting against the nothingness.

Roland: ("A... spirit? What is this? Who... are you?")

The voice didn't answer directly but lingered, patient and calm, offering him something that Roland hadn't considered possible: a second chance, a new existence beyond the black silence that had consumed him for so long.

A strange sensation surrounded me, enveloping my entire being-a power both familiar and foreign. Is it E.G.O? I thought, the Extermination of Geometrical Organ that once defined psychomant. But no... this was something else, something different. It didn't carry the weight of the E.G.O I knew, nor the crushing despair that came with it. It was something more... Distortion.

Just as the confusion settled in, a sharp snap echoed in the void-a familiar snap of fingers, jarring me from my trance. The force behind it was undeniable, dragging me back to awareness.

______________________///[tengu city]///

Tengu City, Japan-a once vibrant, bustling metropolis, now reduced to mere rubble. The aftermath of the Spacequake, an otherworldly rupture that tore apart the fabric of reality, leaving nothing but destruction in its wake. A gaping black hole spun at the center of the catastrophe, devouring everything it touched.

Within the swirling chaos, beings from another world lurked-each with enough power to wipe out entire cities, even worlds. Some stayed neutral, watching from the shadows. Others reveled in their destructive impulses, hostile to all in their path.

But in the heart of this ruin, standing apart from those otherworldly entities, was a being both familiar and alien-a man whose very presence demanded attention "as if a second heart was being created inside him"

Roland eyes snapped open, and for a brief moment, I saw her-Angelica. Her face, so familiar and vivid, appeared before me, as if she were standing there smiling, waiting. But just as quickly as she came, she vanished, dissolving into the black mist that enveloped me. A hallucination... or perhaps something worse.

I blinked, trying to clear my mind, and realized I was lying at the bottom of a massive crater. Around me, the world was in ruin-destroyed buildings, debris scattered everywhere. The remnants of this place, whatever it had once been, were barely recognizable. It felt so distant, yet oddly familiar, as though I had seen a place like this before in another life, another time.
