People who has no power and talent has a tendecy to escape reality. But the truth was its just another word to say "i give up".
I mean, the only thing that make that make us keep going is hope, hope for tomorrow to become a better day.
But as depressing as it was atleast you still have hope. As i see the world crumbling to its end i just realize i just lost my last hope.
...
A sudden soothing voice comes to my ear. I then open my eyes and see someone sitting next to me.
"Looks like you're awake, i've been waiting for you."
I then stood there quitely grasping that happened before me.
'I just witness the world go puff puff, right?
There so many question inside my head right now. Like, there is complete stranger in front of me, where am i? what happen to earth? who is this old man? is this heaven? Then again WHO THE FUCK IS THIS OLD MAN?
All that thing was rambling inside my head over and over again. I'm sweating like a pig, and in the midst of it all, there's an old man sitting in front of me.
"Excuse me, kind sir, may I know where I am?" Agatha asks nervously.
"Don't be nervous, kid; you're in my house now," he said, smiling while slurping a warm cup of tea.
"So is it possible that the world end isn't happening and this is just a dream?"
"Oh no, that's definitely happened; the world that you know it's already become dust as we speak."
'So the world really is doomed then' -_-'.
"Then am I dead?"
"Well, actually, you're dead just like everyone else on that planet. The difference is, your soul doesn't get caught in the net because of your power."
"Wait, do I have power? What power is that?"
I who live as a powerless person all this time have power.
He looked at me with a warm smile and directed his face to the broken planet.
"Yes, you have power to control your soul, to be exact, to control your own soul."
All of my excitement went to drain and make me and make my face somewhat disappointed.
"Well, did I get your hopes up?"
"Well yeah.."
I answered it with an unspirited voice.
He then looked at me and said,.
"Well, I'm not done explaining the situation yet, so don't make that face."
I looked up for a second and looked at him with suspicion.
"Actually, your power is very strong; it just doesn't live to its potential."
"What do you mean?"
He then sat while taking a deep breath.
"It looked like it's going to be a long explanation. Alright, I'm going to explain it just once, so pay attention, okay?"
"It's all started with some entity creating a universe called #*#*#."
A sudden eerie voice entered my ear, and when it entered my ear, it felt like it was tearing my body apart.
"Oops, I forgot the restriction is still on. I guess I can't help it. Let's continue."
"So when that universe expands, other creators want to create the same universe all for entertainment programs. But not all universes are expanding; some just abandon it like it was nothing. But even though it was abandoned, that universe and everything in it still continued their story because the energy that has been given to that universe is infinite. But over time, all those abandoned universes started to decline. So the other creator starts thinking about the solution for those who abandoned. And after some debate, they decided to create a tower, and those who complete the trial can enter the tower. And again, all of this is for the sake of entertainment."
That serious face of this old man became sad at that sentence.
"So, is my world one of the abandoned universe?"
He then said, "Yes, and like I said before, you have the power to prevent your soul from being sucked into the net. That's why your sister doesn't like you very much."
I looked confused. "Wait, did you say my sister doesn't like me? Why?"
"Well, your sister has the power of mind control, but because of your power 'of'soul protection,' your sister can't touch you. And no matter how much she makes you feel miserable, you never bother with it at all and always find something fun to do alone."
"Wait, does it mean I don't have friends because of her too?"
He then said with sad expression on his face, "Nope, that's all on you, little one."
My face immediately turned red.
He looked to the earth again and said, "Looks like it's finished, the process of recycling."
I look confused again.
"Well, it's just as I said. The energy that your universe has now has been recycled to sustain the tower, and that's the end of the explanation. Do you have any questions?"
I then put my hand up like a reporter who wanted to ask a question.
"Well, I have a lot of questions, but why do you explain them to me? I mean, you just told me about the creation of the universe. But why?"
"Well, I have a proposition to make."
