《The Angel System: Outer Heaven》Chapter 2: Final Moments

Maybe In Outer Heaven I will meet her again...
And as for him....
If I ever see him again...
I don’t care if its in a holy church, or the kingdom of God himself...
I’ll kill him, even if it means I'll be sent to hell...
“OUTER HEAVEN! KINGDOM OF LIGHT FREE THIS SOUL FROM THE SHACKLES OF LIFE!” Lucius yelled as he jumped off the building.
I’m falling now. The concrete is getting closer and closer...
But I don’t feel pain, I don’t feel fear, I feel nothing at all. Maybe I’ll be able to feel something again soon. I haven’t been able to feel a thing since that day…
(1 month ago)
‘Lucius!” A girl cried.
Lucius stood on the roof of his hotel suite overlooking the city skyline.
“We’re not supposed to see each other yet” He said chuckling to himself. “They say it's bad luck for us to meet like this.”
He looked at his beautiful fiance as she gleefully skipped to him. The early rays of the sun just barely reached her beautiful blue eyes as her hairreflected a radiance so stunning it was almost blinding.
“I… just couldn’t help myself” She said wrapping her arms around him.“I knew you would be here watching the sun rise, you're still thinking about him aren’t you?”
“He would have been 14 today, Eve,” Lucius said. “He was bullied at school, so on a morning like this he took his life, hoping to reach Outer Heaven, if only I had been a better brother…”
“Don’t beat yourself up,” Eve said. “Not on a day like today, Tragedy happens, it's a part of life hun.”
“I know, I just wished tragedy came with a warning prior..”
Luciuss closed his cold turquoise eyes, remembering his brothers passing. After a moment he realized how much of a downer he was being and turned to Evelynn trying to change the subject.

“How was your bachelor party, the one night you get to enjoy as an unmarried woman? You didn’t do anything reckless did you?” He asked.
“I didn’t do anything, the whole time I kept worrying about you seeing a stripper!”
“I know“ Lucius laughed. “I got about 100 calls from you last night”
“This is your night as well, where's the alcohol and strippers?” She said laughing
“You know me” Lucius replied “I like my women like I like my wine.” He said.
“Thin and fair?” She said running her fingers through his beautiful blakc hair.
“No, they have to come from the top shelf” He said pressing his forehead against her. “And there is no woman that is on the same level as you, your shelf is too high, even with a ladder a stripper couldn’t reach.”
“Lucis…” She said blushiong
“What are you talking about Lucious? You had 3 strippers last night all at the same time.” A voice said
A timid man with glasses came out of nowhere and with the weight of his words, nearly shoved Lucius off the balcony.
“Lucius! You tramp!” Evelynn said smacking him across the head.
“Judo, Why the hell did I make you the best man.” Lucius said, shaking his head.
“Because I’m the best!” He said laughing
“Why are you two up here anyway?” Judo said sitting on the roof. “It's bad luck for the groom and wife to see each other before a wedding. Everyone knows that!” He said, shaking his head.
“Haha we were just sitting on this balcony, like we used to in high school remember?” Lucius said sitting down.
“Yeh those were the days, before you two started spending all that time alone and stop inviting me out”

“That's not true! We always invited you! You just never wanted to come because you didn't want to be a third wheel remember?” Lucius said.
“Yeh… I guess.” Judo said “Things have always been like that huh?”
“They say a wedding is a great place to meet someone! Maybe you’ll get lucky?” Lucius said.
“Actually that's what I came up here to tell you, I’ve... Iv met someone Lucius.”
“What!” Lucius exclaimed “Who is this person?”
“Actually I snuck her up here on this roof, haha do you want to meet her?”
“Where!” Lucius said getting up and walking around. “How could you have found a place to hide on this roof?”
“Lucius!”
When he turned around he saw Evelyn, his wife to be, held hostage with a knife at her throat.
“Judo, this isn’tt funny, what the hell are you doing?” Lucius said
“Don’t move! Or I’ll splatter your wifes blood all over the place!”
“Judo Stop!” Eve screamed
“What is this all about!” Lucius yelled
“You were always Mr perfect! You always got all the girls while me the loser could do nothing but watch. And then you took her from me! She was my friend first and now you’ve married her!”
“But you guys were just friends! I asked you before we even went out!”
“I never thought she would say yes! I was just being nice!”
“Judooooo!”
Judo carved the image of Outer Heaven into Evelynns arm.
“I’m going to take my life! And hers as well!”
“Why!”
“I want you to feel like I felt! Lonely, depressed and suicidal! But while you mope here, me and her will begin our life anew in Outer Heaven!”
“Nooo!!!”
“OUTER HEAVEN! KINGDOM OF LIGHT FREE THESE SOULS FROM THE SHACKLES OF LIFE!” Judo said jumping off the roof with Evelynn.
“Evelynn!” Luicus cried extending out his hand.
(Back to present)
That tragedy, that unexpected pain. In one day my whole life was ruined.
So God
If your out there
I want to know
If it's possible to ruin your entire life from one day
Is it possible
To have your entire change for the better just as the same?
Outer Heaven
What is your answer?
Soon I will be at your gates and a new life will await me.
Lucius crashed into the pavement landing in the crowded streets of Tokyo. A crowd of people cowered in fear as his blood ran into the streets. The Mark of Outer Heaven forming from his bleeding body.

The Cosmic Interloper
Synopsis: A cyborg transhuman escapes her corporate indenture and through unfathomably unlikely circumstances, she ends up in a fantasy world of full of unique magic, angry people with sharp implements, and the whole flavor-spectrum of divine entities. Hilarity ensues. Features: - No blue boxes or cultivation, this is not a LitRPG nor about martial arts - Hard-ish Sci-Fi meets hard-ish magic - Generally trying to keep this "rational" Rationale: My primary goal with The Cosmic Interloper is to write something that I myself would enjoy reading. Of course, that’s not the only motivation, but I think it’s the most important one for me to keep in mind, especially as the author. In fact, this whole story came about because after consuming oodles of fiction, I found myself craving a very specific type of story which I couldn’t find many examples of. Then I asked myself, “why not write it myself?” and here we are. Disclaimer: In general, while I’m not writing a comedy, I do intend for this story to be funny and a bit wacky or absurd. That said though, I am using this story as a vehicle to explore some potentially dark topics including (but not limited to) slavery, speciesism/racism, and existential questions of self, consciousness, and identity. Still, I’m going to leave the “traumatizing content” tags off, because I don’t feel that what I’ve written so far (or plan on writing) exceeds the threshold that would be necessary for me to tag it thusly. Also, [insert your favorite boilerplate “views expressed” disclaimer here]. I shouldn’t need to say this, but the main character can be wrong on occasion (gasp!) and the way she views the world is not the objective truth (if such a thing even exists).

A new arc is about to begin, and I'll start posting again once the entirety is done.

I'll leave updates here every once in a while, if for some reason you're still actively checking on this incredibly slow story T-T The path of cultivation is often portrayed as one stained by bloodshed. But is that truly necessary? Heaven is merciful, after all. On a rather ordinary day, a peasant girl was whisked away by a strange old man. In a hall of great white jade, she was offered the chance to cultivate. ...too bad she's as lazy as a sloth. Slice of life Xianxia with fairly little action in early chapters, more focused on comedy.
