Nero slowly open his eyes and what greeted him was a scene he was so familiar off because he always sees this scenery whenever he log in to Gods Domain.
It was a scene of infinite horizon of crystal clear water that reflects the sky above including everything on top of it. The water acts like a natural mirror.
"Where am I? Did the surgery succeed? Where is everybody?" Nero was bewildered.
He then started getting up from his lying down position and started looking at his surroundings once more in hope to see another living being just like him.
Unfortunately, he did not see anything at all and all he can see was the infinite horizon, the sky above, and his own reflection. Furthermore, he still didn't give up although he was all confused to all of this abnormal phenomenon.
...
An unknown time passed by and he still saw nothing after walking for seems like forever.
Nero was tired and exhausted, but he still didn't stop walking. "Mom? Dad? Is that you?" Nero started to have hallucinations.
He walks toward the direction of where he saw his parents. Both of his parents was just standing not far from him. "Mom! Dad!" tears started flowing out of his eyes uncontrollably.
After some time of walking in an exhausted state he finally able to get to where his parents standing at.
The moment he touch the hands of his parent trying to reaching out to him. A small shadow like circular hole manifested undee his foot. Nero immediately fell into the shadow hole.
Ahhhhhhhhhhh~!!!
Nero shouted at the top of his lungs as his free fall into the void of nothingness. Moments later, he woke up from his slumber and only to find himself to the position he was at a while ago.
"!!!"
"W-what just happened!? I'm pretty sure i fell into a hole." He readily stands up and examined his surroundings.
"Did I t-travel back into the past?" Nero was once again bewildered, but after gathering his scattered thoughts he came into conclusion that the first one was a dream.
He quickly stand up and started running off to the direction he previously walked according to the moments in the dream in hope to find the hole he fell into.
...
Seconds turn into mimutes and minutes turn into hours.
After running and walking that seems like forever inside of this God forsaken place of loneliness Nero finally saw something coming from a far. He pushed his exhausted body to his limits in order to get to that small dot he saw.
His clothes was already soaked in water due to running and the splashing of water hitting his clothes. The wet clothes added the burden of heaviness to him
...
Finally, he was only a hundred meters away from the small dot he saw previously. "What is that?" Nero asked himself.
The actual appearance of the small dot was actually a dark shadowy circular vortex that was floating vertically. Additionally, there was a sign that states, "Enter."
Nero ignored the sign and went to the other side of that thing to examine it. Unexpectedly, the shadowy thing was actually so thin like a piece of ordinary paper. After examining it he came back at seems like the front of the shadowy thing where the sign is at.
"Enter? Do I need to enter it? Is this similar to the portals I only heard in Gods Domain the dimensions of Halo? " Nero wonder if he is going to enter or not, but after looking at his surroundings of emptiness he decided to enter.
Nero came closer to the portal thingy and touched it. The moment he made physical contact the thing he was suck off like the dust in a vacuum.
Ahhhhhhhhhh~!
"!!!"
Blob! Blob! Blob! Blob!
The other side was expectedly underwater of darkness with nothing at all. It's like an abyss. Nero was drowning as he struggled to swim to the surface even though he did not how to swim. He tried copying the sea turtles swimming technique, but in no avail he didn't even able to swim upward and continue to sink deeper into the abyss.
"Am I going to die? Mom! Dad! Where are you!?" Nero shouted in his thoughts.
"@/'?"/')#?'+#*@*@@₱*='!#%"
The last air in Nero's body was unfortunately released as air bubbles were coming out from his mouth. Nero is slowly losing his consciousness also his strength to struggle. He slowly closes his eyes as he sink deeper.
...
"Nero dodge!" a middle age man shouted.
"Everybody run for your lives!" another middle age man shouted.
Boooom~!
Explosions were everywhere in the vicinity. Dead bodies were also lying on the ground and some giant insects were chowing on them.
In front of them all was a giant insects that is obviously bigger than the ones feasting on the floor. It look like praying mantis in a color of shining violet with red blood all over its body. The reaper like hands have took the lives of hundreds of human.
Nero and the others left were fighting for their lives. If someone left in their formation they will die. They will die not by human hands but in the hands of those little ones. Even though they were little they're fast too like the ball in a baseball game.
They will not kill you as soon as possible, but instead they will tear your body apart little by little and enjoy the songs of your screams.
Even though Nero has handcuffs on his hand and burden on his right feet with chain ball locked on his leg. He was holding a pickaxe objects that talks inside of his mind instructing him for his next move.
The pickaxe told him to turn it into a sword by letting it scan a sword. Nero scan his surroundings real quick and finally saw a sword just 2 feet away from him. "Scan it! Hurry!" Nero shouted.
His pickaxe scan the sword that were covered in green blood. "Scanning completed." the pickaxe said. "Would you like to convert me into a sword now?" the pickaxe ask Nero.
"Of course!" Nero shouted in reply as he keeps an eye to the enemy.
Then the pickaxe turn into dust and reshaping itself. Unfortunately, the monster saw it as an opportunity and rush over infront of Nero. The monster was so tall that is like a giant when you stand before it. "Faster!" Nero shouted in his mind.
Swoooosh~!
The hand of the monster pierced through his heart and ate it. All of this happened in a blink of an eye while the weapon was transforming.
...
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh~!!!
Nero woke up.
"!!!"
"I didn't drowned!?" Nero shouted in disbelief. "But what was that nightmare?" Nero brushes off the nightmare and started scanning his surroundings.
He was still in the same place as he was before, but something is different. The bright sky turn into nighttime and his previous dressed self was now naked. More importantly his thing is missing!
"Where is my thing! Where they have gone too!?" Nero shouted in disbelief.
His p*nis disappeared! He neither have a p*nis nor a v*gina. There was nothing at all and just pure flesh and skin!
He let out a tantrum and after for a while he notice a well just 5 meters away from him.
He stop his useless tantrum and went into the well. There he saw himself looking at the well in birds eye view. "Wow! What is this!? Is that me right now?" Nero was amazed and started looking at his surroundings in hope to see the camera.
"Turns out I was somewhere inside of Gods Domain and beings monitored." Nero said a he let out a sigh of relief. Just a few moments after he realized something is off. "If I was inside of the game why is everything so realistic now? It's even more realistic than Gods Domain!"
He look back at the well and the content was not him anymore, but about a planet getting invaded. "Wow cool! It is a movie?" Nero wonder.
"Those spaceships were amazing! Those humans couldn't even stand a chance against it." Nero said as he cheers to the opposing side.
Moments later the view went inside the planet. "Mom? Dad? Me?" He then saw his parents holding his hands while crying. He himself was just sleeping soundly.
"Mom! Dad!" He shouted but no one can hear him. "You need to run Mom! Dad!" Nero started crying as his shouts slowly went weak.
No one knows why, but the well also provide audio. Nero heard the last words of his parents. "We love you Nero." These were the last words of his parents. Then the whole well emitted a blinding light and soon after a destroyed planet came into view.
The whole movie who Nero thought off was actually what happened to his civilization.
Those 4 words struck Nero like a lightning bolt and tears came flooding. He cried and cried until there is no tears to come out. No one knows how much time has passed by or there is time concept in this dimension.
Nero's eyes were red due to his crying. He tried to wipe his tears off using his clothes to only realize that he now did not have any clothes.
He was getting thirsty and he tried drinking the water that is all over his surroundings, but the moment it enters his mouth, the water turn into sand. He quickly spit out the sand and to the well where abundance of water reside. Unfortunately, the well became empty and was dirt dried.
He noticed that there is a battle standing in a table just behind him. "How did I not notice this? I just came into this direction!" Nero was bewildered once again.
The sight amaze him because inside of the crystal clear 1 liter bottle was a Cosmic Nebula! He once saw a Cosmic Nebula in Gods Domain then dimension of Galaxy.
Beside of the bottle there was a sealed letter. Nero quickly took the letter and opened it. He read the content but there is only 2 words on it. "Drink Me." these were the words inside the letter.
Nero was suspicious due to the previous incident where there is also a sign of "Enter" and he almost drowned himself. But due to his thirst cause by hours of running and walking he opened the wine cork that used a seal to the bottle and drank it.
Nero let out a sigh of relief after drinking the cosmic nebula. Surprisingly, the cosmic nebula entered his throat like natural water and it is easy to drink it. It was also cold like water drenched in ice for a long time and that made his exhausted body relax.
"W-what is happening to me!?" just after he thought everything is okay. His body started shaking.
AHHHHHHHH~!!!
Nero scream at the top of his lungs once again as horrible pain is tearing him apart. Tears once again flowing out of his eyes. His skins were cracking and some of them were already falling off. His tears turn into blood and blood came out from his fresh wounds.
The watery floor was covered in blood and the night skies were like laughing at him. The cracks on his body stopped and his body started to glow little by little.
Under his skin there was a cosmic scenery where galaxies and nebulas could be seen. It can only be seen through the gaps which created by the fallen skins. The whole process was a metamorphosis for him that turn him into like a cosmic entity!
After that his injuries recovered at the speed of a blink of an eye!
Nero regained his thoughts, but he was mentally exhausted as his mind slowly drifting off course once again. He fell unconscious.
...
An unknown time passes by...
Nero slowly open his eyes as he woke up. "What happened?" Nero wonder.
Just after he questioned himself he was bombarded by soarding memories. The memories about the events after he drank the Cosmic Nebula.
He look at himself below him and finally can see his face reflecting at the water. He previously couldn't see his face for an unknown reason, but now he can see it.
"Is this me?" this is the first time Nero saw his real face even though he can see his face inside Gods Domain, but it was still an AI generated face and not his actual face. He was blind before, but now he can see.
In overall, Nero has the appearance of 7 year old kid with black long hair that reaches hid waist and deep black eyes.
