《Gate keeper》Chapter 14 a selfish wish
Advertisement
Yuki woke up early in the morning at 4 am. Her eyes widen in shock when she saw a holy beast sitting under the tree with Rika.
"Hello. You must be Evelyn's daughter." (Rika)
"Who are you." (Yuki)
"Just a friend and the leader of a group of girls." (Rika)
"What do you want from me." (Yuki)
"Is it wrong to bring your mind here to my dreamscape. Your real body is actually in PE but they all think you just fainted due to not enough sleep. But you don't remember how you got through the day right." (Rika)
"What is your name." (Yuki)
"No need to yell. I'm Rika, be happy I didn't come in person. Otherwise me touching you on the head like this would've killed you." (Rika)
Yuki felt strangely comfortable when Rika patted her. Kinda like when her mother did so when she was younger. She snapped out of it and slapped Rika's hand away.
"Why did you bring me here." (Yuki)
"To talk without making others on edge and so that you wouldn't hurt yourself." (Rika)
"A beauty like you that could devastate entire worlds? How is this normal." (Yuki)
Rika laughed as she twirled her hair in her finger. Her long blue hair seemed to shine in the morning sun.
"If this is a fake world why can I tell time here." (Yuki)
"Cause I made you think it's morning." (Rika)
Yuki tilted her head and stared at Rika's emerald eyes.
"Just think of me as a busy body mother that worries about the little ones in my care. Your mother is but one of many. As I told you. I wanted someone to talk to. I want you to listen to this selfish one's life story." (Rika)
"That's just stupid you call me here for that." (Yuki)
"But it's better than having you attack me and losing your life due to the miasma my body is omitting out right." (Rika)
Yuki groaned at the fact just thrown at her. Since she had no choice but to listen she might as well do so. Her body was sleeping in the infirmary after Selena heard she fainted so Selena carried her to the infirmary and was nursing her. Outside her body Selena complained.
"How can she be so careless and collapse due to lack of sleep." (Selena)

"This story began eons ago. Before when there were only universes and no worlds like yours coming into existence. We the hell spawns that the Gods of those respective universes would later call chaos beings or chaos beast. Our kind often listen to our instincts of destroying things." (Rika)
"That's just stupid couldn't you just ignore your instincts then." (Yuki)
"Just listen to the story first then complaints later okay." (Rika)
"This story started with 6 sisters. The original chaos beasts that were born if you must. I didn't lie when I told your mother I was the youngest of 5 sisters. I just never mentioned our eldest sister. As you suggested our 1st eldest sister Amulerio. Or Lerio as we called her ignored her instincts. She didn't wish to hurt the lives she saw. She watched planets and it's inhabitants. Her enjoyment in watching them grown and feel emotions moved her. Lerio couldn't think of killing these people who fought and struggled with their daily life." (Rika)
Yuki stared at Rika who stared at the ground like she saw the scenes as if they were playing out before her.
"Her life line withered bit by bit because her stubbornness to not kill or destroy. When we her younger sisters reasoned with her to her that she couldn't go on like this. She could destroy a star if she didn't want to kill the human lives or animals. Instead she shook her head. 'All life is precious we can't just selfishly take from them.' Lerio spent centuries like that until she went insane and tried to kill the very life she cared about. Sadden we sisters had to kill her." (Rika)
"That's just stupid if she knew she could've killed a star instead of going insane." (Yuki)
"Sure we could listen to logic sometimes. But I'm the only one among my kind that doesn't need to destroy so much. Maybe only once a year. My 4 older sisters after that were sadden for a while. So we did as we pleased. They destroyed, I went searching around for things I found interesting. All of sudden when they were happy the 4 suggested the most stupidest idea I ever heard. A battle of supremacy for who is most powerful amongst us sisters. I told them I didn't want to participate in something so pointless. They did so until at the end only I was left. They had killed themselves as I just stood there unable to do anything. Before I knew it all those I knew about was gone." (Rika)

"Why didn't you voice your feelings to them." (Yuki)
"You see they were stubborn about it. After that I sealed and preserved their bodies. Then casted them out to space. Lerio, her body is on a planet. Remiel my second sister's body is in one of the worlds you know. Terra, her body has been sealed deep into the earth. Clare, her body is still traveling. And Beth's body is near a God." (Rika)
"Wait does that mean Lerio's body is on this planet and a God fell in love with one of your sister though she's the band of a God. Is he crazy! And why do you know where their bodies are." (Yuki)
"I put a tracking spell on their bodies. You see I was the one that created the worlds and a few planets. Most Hell spawns can't do that. Because they don't listen to logic, only instincts like a beast. Now let me ask you do you think I can meet them again in this life of mine." (Rika)
"How the fuck am I supposed to know that." (Yuki)
"At least your honest. I guess as thanks I'll take your mask with me. Also a word of advice your younger sister Aki is searching for you still. Since I don't know what can happen I'll give you a wonderful gift too. Just think of me as a idiotic sentiment girl who hasn't forgotten or forgiven herself." (Rika)
"But you were powerless back then! What couldn't be done then wasn't your fault at all. They seemed their own deaths after depression." (Yuki)
"Yet I'm aliveness I know that. If you see them, that is your luck. My gift is the gift to see souls. Hell spawns look the same as their original form much like me and omitting miasma is what their soul does but their race and body might be different now. Here there are no gods and goddesses to control you. Do as you please, but if you see them apologize for me." (Rika)
Yuki was shocked to see Rika with tears in her eyes. Rather she realized the issue was that Rika wouldn't be able to hug her sisters even if she saw them.
She woke up startled and noticed Selena sleeping by her side. What surprised her was her sight in front of her didn't see a mermaid. The soul she saw was a different form. A beautiful large pale blue leviathan in it's serpent form.
"A leviathan.... though Selena is clearly a mermaid." (Yuki)
"Interesting demon girl you can see souls in it's true form though we appear like a burning light to Phoenixes unless they concentrate harder. That's their special racial trait, it's easier them to identify other reborn Phoenixes because of it too." (Selena's soul)
"This is disturbing in more ways than one." (Yuki)
"I'm Devetra, the leviathan you and everyone else in history knew as the one who tried to eat continents for food." (Deve)
"Why is a calamity class monster reborn as female mermaid that is so kind to others." (Yuki)
"Hphm, so what I was reborn 3458 times. Most of the time as girls what's wrong with that." (Deve)
"You're a male leviathan though." (Yuki)
Deve felt a arrow strike at him when she worded it like that. It was fact his reincarnations were more like saints after each incarnations and she just pointed this fact out at him.
Selena stretched and stared at Yuki who made a wry smile.
"Awake now sleepy head." (Yuki)
"I heard the nurse say you collapsed due to exhaustion." (Selena)
"(laughs) Yea it's definitely exhausting." (Yuki)
"Why did you avoid eye contact when you said that." (Selena)
"Sorry just had a exhausting dream that was kinda heavy for my taste." (Yuki)
(translation: Rika's wish is kinda heavy and her depression got me more tired yet her gift was more exhausting in more ways than one. Since it allowes her to see and communicate with souls)
"That sounds kinda weird and didn't make sense." (Selena)
"Then it's exactly like how it's supposed to sound." (Yuki)
"Oh come on tell me what kind of dream it was." (Selena)
"It was a exhausting dream." (Yuki)
"Stop repeating that." (Selena)
Yuki bursted into laughter and Selena blinked surprise by her.
"That's surprising. Your laughing for the first time." (Selena)

Apollyon's Curse
Within the pages of folklore and fantasy, tales of people who chase after the dream of eternity, of living forever, rarely find a happy ending. They are either struck by the grim truth of reality, give up, and return to mortality or face a ghastly realization of their wishes. The latter often the worse fate, as they come to realize, only far too late, that what they sacrificed was worth far more than the time they gained. Ultimately, the common thread in these stories is that “immortality is as much a curse as it is a blessing”. People either realize it early and give up or are doomed to inevitably face its consequences. In the world Enrich lives in, that saying does hold merit. Every pathway towards eternal life has shackles of its own. They bring those high above down to the ground, evening the playing field. It is thanks to these fundamental laws that ambitious mortals are able to defy the heavens and achieve immortality themselves. The variety of methods result in each of these bindings varying in intensity and degree of freedom. Enrich’s path doesn't break this trend. Though, after what he did to himself, most wouldn’t even consider him a living thing anymore. On the day of his ascension, a world’s worth of souls were melted and recast. On that day, the human’s path had reached its conclusion, recast into Apollyon. An artifact, a weapon, is eternal, after all. As for the curse? The payment will be made, as it must. So why not offload the curse to someone else? Mortals throw their lives away for all manner of petty reasons, noble or otherwise, especially in desperation. Eventually, someone will be willing to foot the bill. Most will if given the chance. The bait is far too tempting, after all. Power, status, knowledge. All at their fingertips. If only they say “yes”. And Apollyon is very willing to help any lost souls. If they give up everything in return, of course.

The Crucible - (Terror Infinity Fanfic)
There has always been those that stood out from the crowd. Heroes of old, undefeated warriors and demigods battling beasts of myth. These stories are written off as fiction and folk stories of ignorant people long lost to time. Nothing to prove them true except old family stories but what if people just weren't looking in the right place. Old truths no longer apply to the modern age of science but that doesn't stop them. The system that protects and finds these great people still exists and asks the same question it always has. “Do you want more than this life? Want to live… a real life?” YES/NO Who hasn't read Terror Infinity and thought I wonder what upgrades I would choose. I love the Web Novel and Side B. I did change a lot but the basic premise is still the same. Feel free to leave thoughts and suggestions in the comments. This is my first attempt at writing and I haven't done much of it since I left University 13 years ago. This is also more of a hobby than trying to become an author but that doesn't mean I will drop it just don't expect fast releases. I will mainly work on an Arc and post the arc's chapters in groups when I finish a whole arc. Kinda like Side B used to be.
