A/N: I'm back !!!! and will continue to update from now on. Well, let's get back to business.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When I regained my slumbering consciousness, lounging-- I instantly found myself in a somewhat strange familiar place.
"Where...am I?"
I stand up and silently murmured as I observed the unknown scenery before me.
It was a forest barren place, a weird dilapidated environment wherein the trees are cut off from it's trunk that symbolize destruction or maybe, it's used for something, a gloomy feeling that this place gives in connection to it's destroyed terrain that probably caused by something.
And it's common in my past realm.
I started to walked through the unknown direction of this barren forest.
And simply think of the things that I may see in this strange world.
However, a sudden notion appeared in my head-- it's unknown why I am here.
This dreary place is a strange place, but the feeling of familiarity that dwells in me when I looked in while walking continuously longed through the surfaced of my heart.
In this barren forest.
And as I continued to walked through this destroyed forest in an unknown direction.
I noticed something that made the strange familiarity surfaced again with much force in my heart.
A really big wooden house, but it's definitely hiding deep inside this barren forest.
"It's that place? Isn't it?"
As haunting memories that I locked into the back my mind suddenly emerged.
The place where most of my childhood experiences and memories happened.
A place that is really close to my heart.
Where I gained many things and-- lost many things.
"It's the Janzu...Orphanage."
As I somberly said when I looked at one of my most precious place where I lived in for few years after I was born.
However, I'm confused on why I was here.
Because I remembered what happened to this place.
It was destroyed by a rivaling clan of the Janzus.
Due to a political war of clans on my past world. It's a war that determined the fate of clan by going through a war with other clans. The reason? Resources.
It's also a war that lead the Janzus to a countless miserable death of their own people and total annihilation of the once-renowed clan.
As I remembered the time when I cried for a few days without eating due to this harrowing event.
Where my cherished ones died when I was young.
It's also the start of my conquest to reach the peak of the world.
To protect my beloved people.
And even though I'm called the Heavenly Demon, it is due to my desire to protect my people. I retaliated strongly against my enemies and loved my people dearly.
Nevertheless, those people that I love dearly pierced their weapons into me.
"Haaaah, shit."
It brings so much nostalgia to me that I wondered if there were people in this strange dream.
And if...I can see those people again.
I silently walked my way through into this big orphanage while I observed things that I missed in this place.
The placard Infront of the house named Janzu Orphanage, the small garden on the side of the house, and the small playground where I used to play with my pals and Qi tree that me and my friends planted for divine luck.
I really missed this place when I looked back into these longing memories.
And as I continued to walk and observe the orphanage. I suddenly heard a girl's voice.
"Come on, hurry! We will be late for breakfast. Fast! Fast!" she said as I heard this hurrying girl.
And when I looked over to see this person, I saw a beautiful girl hurrying the kids to enter the house.
And it's one of my most cherished people in the past world of mine.
Also, one of my greatest regrets even when I died, to not be able to protect her.
Suddenly, tears immediately dwelled in my eyes as I see her joyful face, her wide smile even though her voice was hurrying, the cheerful expression of her eyes and her cheerful demeanor and she herself.
My sister Aina.
Although she's technically not my biological sister. I treated her as my sister and one of the people that I looked up too and respected.
Because of her kindness and affectionate love for the people of the orphanage and her desired to protect her cherished people that she even died for it.
I always regret that heart-wrenching day, when I choose to run and leave her.
The sad smile she showed me as the assassins pierced her heart and whole body.
And although she's bleeding in every part of her body, I noticed her mouthed words that she tells me.
Run quick, before they find you.
And please...live.
As I ran and never looked back to that traumatic scene again.
I always felt this harrowing pain when I remembered these memories.
It also gives me goosebumps and nightmares
as I sleep when I remembered this distressing event.
And the most evident thing that happened to me from this event is when I almost died in my cultivation because of it.
It became my fucking heart demon in the Mahayana Realm.
And I almost die in my Limit-Breaking Ritual of Humanity.
But well, I didn't forget it and I just accepted it wholeheartedly.
Accepted the death of my sister and also, not forget her due to the gifts that she given me.
Also, I know that some of my traits come from her too. The desire to protect my loved ones.
And when I walked throughout the orphanage, I felt my feet getting heavier, my heart beating faster and my excitement going stronger.
I want to hug her and tell her the things that I want to say to her, that I regretted not saving her and running away, and I miss her very much.
However, when I tried to touch her shoulder, the shoulder part of her dissipated.
"Ahhhh-- shit, it's the worst."
I continued to touch the image of her but it continued to fucking dissipate.
"Please...Don't leave be like that, sister."
I begged to this projection looking like a madman as I repeatedly touched this projection of her.
But after some time, I got tired of touching it because I remembered the things she said.
She's calling the numerous children for breakfast.
That's the time I immediately notice kids that are running towards the huge hall.
Probably excited at the impeding food that they will eat today.
And I remembered being excited about that breakfast too.
As I see my younger self running towards the hall with my friends. It's my best friend that I lived my life with in the orphanage.
Unfortunately, they died too-- in that incident.
"Well, it's a...good thing that I've seen their face even one more time."
I muttered when I calmed down, through I really miss them.
And then I observed the breakfast hall where children are eating.
It enormous but you can tell the simple life that this place give to these children.
And when I saw the children, they are excited for the dish that will be served to them.
And as I observed them, a thought appeared in my mind.
"Why am I here?"
I remembered bleeding in my room in that new world that I lived in when I tried to combine the different energies.
It's hurts so fucking bad that I thought I will die on immediately in that place place, but I hold on as I closed my eyes.
Then suddenly, I found myself here in this place.
As I pondered about the possibilities of things that bought myself into this place.
I think of the reasons why I'm here.
It's either I'm really dying and this is the thing is what's called-- life flashing before your eyes or it's my own subconscious trying to tell me something.
"It's strange as if my mind is guiding me into something, something very important."
That will be the key to find it to way out of this strange place.
And as I continued to observed my people and different places in this dream. I felt that I will uncover some important things things if I walked through it.
