Chapter 24 - Volume 1 Epilogue; Exalted Awakening

It had been quite a few weeks since I'd fallen, only to arise at an earlier time.I'd seen my friend ripped apart before my eyes. To then die myself. A harrowing experience.

Yet I yearned to learn more.

Fighting the Mafia for a second time round, I'd enlisted the help of my unfairly overpowered acquaintance.

Travis Haber, a simple farm boy. Strong, protected by fate. As if he'd been blessed by an eternal Saint.

Days passed as I failed to figure out how my power worked.

In the end I reached my last straw. I jumped off a bridge, to truly test if I could come back to life

But now. In this place. There was no time. No space. No matter.

A place beyond. I was not alone

"H-How did I get here?" I asked, my voice echoing through the void.

"We are in a place beyond time"

The voice startled me. Turning around, I beheld the most beautiful sight.

Mauve, glossy hair, golden eyes dancing with exalted radiance. The visage of an angel. A simple white robe clung to her feminine form

The girl in front of me was the spitting image of what I'd associate with a friend She felt close, yet unfamiliar.

"You shouldn't be here."

She spoke, in a monotone voice. Lacking all emotion.

I then smiled, in a sorrowful way.

"I know."

The two of us were now in a vast, empty space.

A plane without end.

"This is the place between time and space. I am the arbiter of said space." She spoke, in a deadpan voice.

I stared at the girl, with a perplexed look. What on neo-terra was she talking about?

"You should go back…" she said, a glowing light filling the previously empty void, like the creation myth back on old earth.

"Wait- I need to learn more-"

[Exalted Sight: Rank up Commencing…]

My vision slowly returned. Familiar objects dotting my surroundings. Checking my InfoComm, it was the day I'd killed myself, in the name of science.

It had worked.
