I don't remember it very clearly, on what makes this desire of mine to grew stronger as the day pass by. The only thing that i know is that, i wanted to become a forensic psychologist.
That is why i detached my self from experiencing a normal life. As i put all of my time and attention for studies and learning. I ended up not having a boyfriend nor a friend, but that doesn't mean I'm lonely.
There is still my father and mother who is a well known teacher from a private school. They gave me alot of mental and physical support that i needed in order for me to successfully obtained my very dream job.
As i am now looking outside of my office's window, i can clearly see the lively street and the people's that were passing by my building. I felt somewhat envious for they carelessness, but i shrugged it off and was now sitting back to my chair, as i begun to sign up some paper. There is currently 2 medium size towers of paper at my desk right now and i needed to finish some of them before midnight. I took a sip of my coffee and was about to sign them when someone suddenly knock on my door.
" Ms. Alicia... there is someone that wanted to meet you, may i come in? "
One of my worker ask in a sweet and calmer voice, she seemed to be happy for some reason and i also couldn't afford to be rude at my client's even if I'm currently busy, so i gave her my permission as i continued to read the papers infront of me.
" Yes... you may come in "
" Excuse me for disturbing your time Ms. Alicia, but your sister is here to visit you "
After opening the door, the woman that came inside was none other than my secretary Ms. Penelope and on her back was my little sister... Varity E. Alvarez.
" Good Afternoon my dear big sister~ *humm* *
My sister greeted me with her usual sweet voice after entering the room and she begin to rush her way towards me and hug me very tightly.
" Varity?... *sigh* can you not do that when i am working? "
It's not like i dislike her behavior or anything, it's just that I'm concerned about the consequences that might happen if we we're to fall unto the floor by the sudden force coming from her jump.
" Sorry... ehehehe~ "
*Sigh* ' What am i suppose to do to you if you got hurt from that?... you know that you are my most beloved little sister and i couldn't help but to think of your safety '
" *Sigh*... Anyway, Ms. Penelope, you may go now "
" Understood, Ms. Alicia... Bye Ms. Varity~ "
Ms. Penelope said with a smile while waving her hand at my little sister before getting out of the room. My little sister did the same to her and now, me and my little sister were the only people inside of my office.
" Sister Penelope is really pretty and kind~ "
" Huh?... how about me? "
" Of course... My big sister is one of the kindest and beautiful woman in the whole world! "
Varity said with enthusiasm, making me feel extremely happy just by listening to her flattering.
" Hmm... Good, now just sit silently at my lap while I'm finishing this paperworks... you can also eat those biscuits if you're hungry "
" Okiee~ "
She responded with a smile, moving her toes forward and backward while looking at the paperwork that were already finish by me. She looks kinda cute when she did this, and the atmosphere at my office suddenly became lighter as i keep on working.
The paperwork that i am signing on were some cases that needed to be investigated. Will, after a couple of year's being a forensic psychologist. I ended up becoming the head of one of the company that runs a medical institutions and therapists.
It's pretty much easy on my side for now since i only have to give some orders for my worker's to do their job, and i can only work in a physical manner if the patients are at the state's of emergency.

A few hour's have passed and it is now 10:50 pm. My little sister was sleeping peacefully at the couch while me, still doing my work.
" Ngg!... haa~ that was quite tiring... oh my, it's already this late at night?... i better wake her up and go home now "
I put all the papers at the left side of my desk, as i then got up from my chair while stretching my arm's and head to relieve some pain, after a couple of stretches, i went to my little sister that is still sleeping and slowly called her name.
" Varity~... wake up, it's time to go home now~ "
I said with a calm voice while poking her cheeks, a few minutes of poking and calling her name had pass and she finally woke up from her slumber.
" *Yawnn~*... Big sister?... Good morning~ "
My little sister said while still half asleep, she then rubbed both of her eye's. Looking at me, confused.
" Few~... it's night not morning... anyway we gotta go now "
" Eheheh~... okie "
She then jump of the couch and quickly went to the door as i soon followed behind. Opening it up and before i got out, i first look back to see if i forgot something and then turned off the lights as i then went outside my office and lock the door.
" Big sister!... carry me please~ "
My little sister said while stretching her arm's above. Since it can't be helped, i took her up and embrace her with my left arm.
" Do you still want to sleep? "
" Yas~ *Yawn* "
My little sister responded, followed with a yawn as she soon fell asleep again.
" Sweet dreams~ "
I said while hugging her sleepy body, all the lights at the building were still on at this time. And now I'm riding the elevator after walking at the hallway, but then the elevator suddenly stop at the 3rd floor. Slowly opening the door, revealing a person fully covered with jacket, hat, mask and a shade.
" Oh? I didn't expect that there- "
*Bang!*
Before i could finish my sentence, the person fired a bullet at my little sister's head.
" Va-varity!?... No no no! Varity?! "
The sudden gunshot had shocked me to the level were i became confused, i couldn't think properly due to the scene that is happening right beside me. My little sister's head was bleeding, i heard her talk for a second before she became silent. The blood still continued to flow out of her head.
" It's too late, she's already dead... now it's your turn to die! "
The person said with a deep voice, aiming it's gun at my head and immediately pulled the trigger.
" Kahh! "
The gunfire was fast and before i could try to avoid it. I was already shot dead at my head, my vision became a little blurry after the gunshot. The person from before continued to aggressively pulled the trigger, killing me and my little sister in an instant.
' How did this happened?... who is she?... why did she killed me?... my little... sister '
Unfortunately, the human brain can only be keep alive for a few minutes and then it dies, Alongside with the human body. There is nothing that i felt after that, i don't feel cold nor hot. I don't even know if i still have a body because i felt very lightweight.
There is nothing now that i see, other than complete darkness. It's like I'm inside of a void where everything is dark, there is no even a single strand of light neither hope.
The darkness was like surrounding my whole body when i suddenly hear a voice that spoke right inside of my head.
{ You must be regretful now that you died... right? }
She said with a sarcastic tone. her voice sounded very feminine and elegant even though her way of talking is like criticizing me.
' Who... are you?... where am i?... my-my little sister!? where is she!? '
I couldn't open my mouth or should i say, i don't have a mouth. But, that isn't important right now since the woman is talking right inside of my head.
{ Calm down, i know you're upset, confused and afraid right now. But you don't need to worry that much, as I've taken a liking to you~ }
The woman said with a teasing voice, she seemed amused by my behavior that she let out a giggle before introducing herself.
{ I am the goddess of wisdom and knowledge ' Minerva '. A pleasure to meet you... Alicia~ }
' Go-goddess?!... what are you talking about?... stop playing with me and give me back my little sister!? '
I was lost at the moment but i quickly calmed my self before arguing back to her, she insist that she is indeed one of the supreme deity. But i reject to accept that.
' What did you do to my body!? '
{ I didn't do anything, You're just a wondering soul right now. After you got killed by her, you wondered the entire world until you came to my side and i was bored so i picked you up and tried to start a conversation }
' I died?... but, wait- no... that can't be... then, was my little sister is also wondering the world? '
I ask with full of regret and concerned. Me dying is ok but my little sister, i don't want to admit it but if it turns out to be the case. Then, i will travel the entire constellation just to see her again.
{ Good question. Yes, indeed. Your sister died and was also traveling the world but... }
' But?... '
She said with a long paused. I can't believe it, i couldn't believe that there is still a single strand of hope for me. As i was confused and happy at the news, i then felt anxiety run down my spiritual life when she continued her speech.
{ Hades, the lord of the underworld. Granted his ability to your sister and then reincarnated her to the cardinal world... I think he also became interested to your little sister, i suppose }
' What?...What did you say!? '
I shouted in disbelief, to think that such thing could possibly happened. But then, i regretted my action. The goddess from before was seem quite mad at me now that i felt a strong breeze of air towards myself.
{ Now now, i really do like your soul and personality... but that doesn't mean i will going to tolerate your rudeness towards me. A being that is far more superior than your kind... Do you understand? Alicia~ }
The goddess said with a threatening voice, her sweet and sarcastic way of speaking was replaced by a cold freezing tone that made my mind shiver in fear.
' Please... i beg your forgiveness... I was just shock to find out that my beloved little sister was taken by someone and was reincarnated into another world '
{ Hmmm, I will forgive you... }
The goddess said with her primary voice. It looks like she's kind enough and had understood my current situation.
' Then... thank you very much for your kindne- '
I said after relaxing my mind, now that we have come to an understanding, i think that we will be able to communicate with each other. But, my hope was suddenly shattered when she cut me off before i could finish my sentence.
{ But in one condition~ }
She said with a creepy playful voice. With this word's in mind, i knew that i shouldn't accept this.
' Wh-what may it be? '
{ You will be making a contract with me and become my very first follower... }
' That... that's all? '
I was left confused at the moment when she said that she wanted me to be her follower, and not just a follower but her very first follower at that. Was she someone who isn't that popular?
{ Indeed, you just need to become my follower and spread my name towards the whole world. By doing that, I'll be putting you at the same situation that hades did to your sister }
' I'll be put on the same... do you mean to say that i will be reincarnated too? '
This whole thing wasn't on my mind the whole time but if it means that i could meet my sister, then i will do it. In the first place, she just said that i will only have to spread her name to the whole world and nothing more so it's a win win.
{ Reincarnation... but better, you will be reborn as a new person on the cardinal world with a superior race and some of my ability in order for you to survive in that world }
She said, full of pride. The atmosphere around me suddenly change. She started phrasing something that i couldn't understand. My sense of hearing were slowly fading but before that, the goddess said one more thing before i vanish.
{ Some of your memories will be keep lock until you finish your task so you will be living on that world with a minimum amount of memory... Good luck, Alicia }
