Chereads / The First Mage / Chapter 49 - Chapter 48

Chapter 49 - Chapter 48

A light resembling a human. It's faceless. But then, it holds a book as if reading it.

"What is this place? I thought it should be something nice. Everyone is supposed to be happy. Where is that place?"

"You're in the wrong and right place at the same time."

"How so?"

"Yes. It is wrong since this is not your supposed destination. But this is the right place for you."

"Oh? Interesting. Are you the God then?"

"Maybe."

"Why are you holding a book? Tell me. Where is the heaven where everyone is happy? I have so many questions."

"Think of it like you entered the different room. I am the Creator. But there is also another version of heaven where there is another being in charge."

"But. How am I in the right place then?"

"Because this is your heaven. The chosen beings' version of heaven."

"How could you call this a heaven? This is like a reading place due to silence."

"Yes, it is."

"What is that book then?"

"I am currently reading a story. You shouldn't be here. Go back."

"I cant at the moment. I have many questions. How am I a chosen being?"

"You are more than special. That is all."

"Then. What exactly am I?"

"A protagonist."

"What?"

"Leave."

This being has been talking without any emotions since from the start.

"Why?"

"Because this is not the time for us to meet yet."

"What do you mean? I have many questions. What is that being a protagonist?"

"At least tell me what that story is?"

"I cant."

"Come on. Tell me."

"The First Mage and The Bored Creator."

"What? Is the God some kind of otaku?"

"Leave."

Takao tried it and confirmed that his magic works here.

"Let's have fun then."

But before he could lunge forward. He already felt his body being held by an unseen force.

"What!?"

He then looked towards the light. He saw that it now holds a pen also made out of light and writing something.

"You can't come back here before you finish your journey. If you ever come back here again. I won't let you live your life anymore."

"Huh?"

"Go on."

The unseen force then pulled him back.

He suddenly found himself back to the room which he died onto.

"What happened when I was dead?"

"Nothing much master. Just ten seconds passed."

"Really?"

"Yes. My King."

"What did you saw there master?"

"I saw a different one."

"Really?"

"I don't want to talk about it for now. I'll take back the resurrection magic."

"Eh. Okay."

Mello could feel a certain power being drained from him for the first time.

"I'll be going."

"Okay... Wait. You wouldn't even tell us who you met there?"

"No need."

"Oh..."

Before he could open the door. He could hear Martin.

"Mom! Dad! I and Jade are now co–"

He halted when he and Takao both opened the door.

"Takao?"

"Sorry. I'll be going."

Mello and Martin could only look at each other.

"Why does he looks gloomy?"

Said by Martin.

"Dunno. But certainly, he met someone on the other side."

"Other side?"

"Well. He killed himself and I resurrected him after."

"Let's talk Mello. What did you two did?"

"Eh? Nii-san is suspicious of us?"

"I don't know what you did. So tell me."

"Ehh??? Okay! Okay! Fine."

And Martin heads inside interrogating his whole family.

In the meantime.

"Um... Atrox..."

"Oh."

"You said..."

"Yeah."

"Are you really serious?"

"Yes. Let's get married."

"Eh... I already told this to mom... Um..."

"Do you want it or not?"

"Of course I do! But..."

"Ah... If you don't want–"

"No! I want it! Lets... G-get married."

"Alright."

"But... When?"

"I don't know. I'll ask some people about it first. Mostly Takao and your friend."

"O-okay."

"..."

And Atrox started walking away.

"Um..?"

"What?"

"Cant you... Say... Um..."

"What!?"

"I love you!"

"Ugh... Love you too."

And he walks away.

Presny started blushing but she didn't know that Atrox also blushed a bit when he said that.

"Why did I blushed there? Ugh."

And then. There is Takao who is heading towards his wife.

He later arrives in front of the door.

He then opens it and heads inside.

"Oh?"

"Oh?"

"Uhh... You're finished in your work?"

"Yes."

"Oh... Okay."

"I don't get it. It doesn't make sense."

"What?"

"Your belly... Why is it already like that?"

"Oh. You mean its already this big?"

"Yeah. It's definitely not just one child."

"Yeah. Your right. Because they are likely to be three."

"What?"

"Hehe. Kind of like felt them all at the same time."

"Maybe you're wrong."

"Oh. You're doubting me?"

"Yes."

"Haha!"

Takao then also sits on the bed and started gently rubbing claire's belly.

"They must be not feeling comfortable inside."

"No. That's not possible. That is why the tummy is big when you are pregnant. So that they will have space large enough to move a bit around."

"Oh... You really are knowledgable."

"Of course... What should we name them when they came out? Tell me. You are the mother."

"Hmm..? I don't know yet. Maybe when they came out."

"Then ill just name them if you don't want."

"Oh! No! At least let me name one of them! Also. I said that ill name them when they came out right? Why do you have the right to name them now?"

"Come on. I already have names for them. Just a few ones though.."

"Hmm? What are those?"

"Ren and Miku. We could simply assume that there are two of them. But if there are any third. I could name it Daisuke if he's a boy. And Hikari if female.

"And what do those gibberish words mean?"

"Just name them that. It doesn't matter the meaning."

"Ugh... Fine."

"You know what?"

"Hmm?"

"I met the God."

"What?"

"I talked... To him."

"Really? How?"

"I killed myself and had Mello revive me."

"Oh."

"Then. What did you talk about?"

"Not much. He holds a book and said its title is 'The First Mage' I don't quite understand it. He said... I should not come back before I finished my journey or else he would not let me go back."

"Then you should finish it!"

"Furthermore. He told me that I am a special being. He noted that there is another version of heaven, And since

I am a special being. That is my version of heaven. I don't really understand. His words are emotionless. Though he told me to get out. I don't feel any anger coming from him. Nothing. For that whole time. That heaven is not like what Martin's mother and father describe so there really must be another heaven and another God. It's really messy. The whole place is dead silent with only him sitting on his throne. It's a reading place."

"Yeah. That's really strange. But... I think we should do our best then. You should definitely finish your journey. Okay?"

"Okay."
