Chapter 2 - Watching a movie

In a realm of darkness a source of light emerges from nowhere. Looking closer, the light source looked more and more similar to a human figure. More precisely, similar to the Noir Rivera who was hung till death.

"Am I in hell? Is this my soul?" He talks to himself while looking around only to see the never ending sea of darkness upon which he is floating.

"Doesn't seem that bad of a place for a person like me. "

"No one to love, nothing to hate, a world devoid of life and light. A whole world of nothingness just for me."

He floats there endlessly in peace as if waiting for his light to dim to nothingness. Time passes away from seconds to minutes, then to hours. He doesn't know whether days or months have passed. The sense of time was lost upon him. He didn't mind the time passing as his mind had become already half dead to care for it. He doesn't even seem to care even if his soul got eroded in this darkness.

After an unknown amount of time passes, the darkness around him clears away to show something else. A vision of a whole new view world like never seen before.

People segregated to commoners and nobility, technologies utilising new sources of energy, men and women alike calling forth some sort of power from their bodies, emergence of beast having appearances similar to that heard from myths, monsters spawning from another dimensions etc... Even though he is still trapped in this dimension of nothingness, he could see it as if he himself is living among them.

'What is going on? What sort of world am I seeing here?' He thinks to himself while seeing it all enfold like he is watching a movie.

He tries to memorise everything he sees as he has got nothing else to do. He tries to recollect the information from what he have seen so far.

"Pretty ignorant kid, if you ask me."

Noir utters some of his thoughts to satisfy his own curiosity and entertainment.

"What kind of shitty excuse of a disease is that? He is living in a world full of superhero like people and he have to live like a normal person among them. Isn't that same as being a vegetable in that world. Sucks to be that kid." Once again Zenoire comments on the ill fate that has befallen upon the protagonist.

"They have schools here also? What do they teach there then? Magic and Martial Arts, maybe? Do they exist in this world? Who knows? It would have been better to have some popcorn watching all this." Curiosity is awakened in Noir to know more at this point.

"That's not good, is it?"

"As I thought. You really had to add tragedy into the middle of this."

"That kid's life is going to be screwed at this point."

"You are telling me that small slimy jelly like things broke a hole in the concrete like layer of a dungeon? Are you guys high or what?"

Noir has watched upto this point and is concentrating on what is going to happen next.
