《New Resident of 5th Apartment》Chapter 1: Surprise after five years
Advertisement
*Thump!*
A document slammed on top of the old dusty desk.
A handsome looking young man removed dust from his suit and placed his arm around the slim waist of a beautiful girl like a flower.
With appearance better than most celebrities, from every direction, those two looked like a perfect couple that made for each other.
"Write your name on this and be over with it."
Said man pressed signature space on the document and gave a disgusted look to the woman dressed in an office suite with appearance looks like a dried mummy in front of him.
"Just sign here, and I give you your barn back to you."
Just like a doll, the woman's head swung back and forth due to her weak malnourished body.
"Still stubborn idiot, you better to sign your name when I return, or else I call the police for barging in my house."
Said man leaves the room along with a girl, leaving behind a dumbfounded woman.
Left alone in an old apartment, Otori Sawako breathed a long sigh.
The thing in front of her was a Divorce Agreement from the man she married.
One month ago.
***
The year 2025.
Fifteen years have passed ever since began to appear around once peaceful Earth.
Monsters came, and then individuals are known as 'Players' emerged from the masses to fight and close the rifts.
Afterward, strange panels began floating on individuals that projected a numerical assessment of their so-called 'stats' in real life. It was through those status windows that people began to see their individual skill sets and characterization that defined them as players.

Otori Sawako lived her life in a simple way while accepting change around her due appearance of rifts around the world. First, she worked in a company as a salary woman for two years.
She then became a civil servant in one of many 'Player Management Department'. It is responsible for recruiting and instructing fresh players for combat against monsters. It was just like an idol training agency.
She joined Tokyo's 8th Player Management Department at the age of 26. While her husband Naoki Haru became to section head in the company.
Sadly, on her first day.
She got hit by a truck.
On her way, she was talking with her sister by phone about her family.
But then she was knocked unconscious by a 5-ton cargo truck while crossing the crosswalk, and Sawako suddenly found herself in the high fantasy world.
At the same time, Sawako acquired a skill.
'Unbreakable'
Through her skill 'Unbreakable', she was able to live countless live in another world.
She lived and experienced many things. Ranging from a life of lowly slave and guard to the next great empress or princess.
She tasted every happiness and misery alike.
In the end, she became a goddess that rules over war, fortitude, and family in that world.
Sawako rose to fame and received all kinds of titles due to her various actions at the same time her followers steadily grew in size. Until during invasion from being from the outer world she received the title as the name she received on her current reincarnation 'Airu the Indomitable'.
She recalled she killed during her last battle against the outer world god back to whatever hell hole they emerged in the first place.
And now she was on Earth and in her original body.

Sawako breathed in the fresh air and then took out his smartphone.
November 5, 2025.
“I-if you still feel something weird or uncomfortable, please do inform me and come back here.”
The doctor in a white gown mentioned while raising his glasses.
Sawako nodded and went out.
The nurse next to the doctor fumbled while looking at his chart.
“How could she be fine as if nothing had happened ?”
When she was hit by a cargo truck and entered the emergency room, Sawako's appearance couldn’t be explained by words.
The major surgery that lasted for 17 hours barely caught her lifeline, and the chances of his consciousness returning were only less than 10 percent. And even she get out of it alive it was almost 100% guarantee she became disabled.
They able to save her life, but she spent the past five years in a coma.
However, after only a day where she regained her consciousness, all the critical wounds, including internal injuries, were gone like it never happened in the first place.
Surprised by her recovery hospital staff in the name of rehabilitation they checked her body in past one mouth they found nothing unique or weird thing in her body. Eventually, all of them decided to let go of her.
“Word is full of mystery"
***
'For missing multiple works and ignoring orders. By order from higher-ups of Tokyo's 8th Player Management Department decided it is appropriate to fire you.'
"Well, of course."
Sawako received a message from the head of the department while reading the agreement.
It felt weird for her when her husband with an unknown pretty girl welcomed in her home. Followed by the threat of sending her prison for entering her home.
"Oh, that is why."
Sawako exclaimed as she understood the content of the divorce agreement, during her five years of coma her husband transferred her everything under his own name leaving her with nothing.
If she refuses the contract, she will be left with nothing and sent to jail for trespassing private property.
Only five years have passed since she returned to Japan from another world.
As Sawako's memories of living in Japan have already faded, her marriage it is already disappeared into nothingness. As in first place, it was something she and he made for the benefit and stable life, nothing else.
Her past self would be screaming or crying for throwing aside with nothing, but for the current her it is nothing but a minor inconvenience.
Even the lost her house, car, and sent to jail, as a goddess she already possessed strength and all kinds of treasures and battle spoils that her followers offered to her.
She can have anything if she wants.
However, Sawako decided to live as herself at the same time as a new goddess on earth.
Please open the gate of the astral plane and meet the administrator.
Suddenly a system screen popped in front of Sawako.
"Administrator ?"

8 239Time Can't Heal This
I've always hated the saying "Time heals all wounds." Maybe in most cases that may be true. In my experience with life and pain however, time has only ever bled out the wound. The scars that the wounds left behind though, are often so deep that just looking at them becomes painful to the mind. Time only heals what you let go of. Sometimes letting go and moving on just doesn't feel possible; no matter how much time you let pass you by.These poems signify what time hasn't healed for me.
