《JOURNEY》End of prologue
Advertisement
I know, I am unqualified for calling as a father. As I know father is one who wants to catch his child before he falls, father is the one who shows his son the right path on his life, father is the one who holds his son when he cries, scolds you when he makes mistakes, and fill with pride when his son succeed in his life. I haven’t done anything to call myself a father. But, as your father at least I will give you a name barfi (means snow, which will melt at the end of the day).
The boy looked at his father and didn’t know what to say at last he got a name. But there are no feelings can be seen in the boy’s eyes. He just nodded his head to confirm his father’s decision
Seeing the replay from his son, King felt guilty which is eating him from inside as he knows turning back on responsibility as a father is the most spineless thing you can do. But there is nothing he can do. To protect the kingdom from devils, there must be a sacrifice of royal blood needed to please the god. As a king, but not as a father the young man made choose to sacrifice his son instead of people from the kingdom.
The two sages beside the boy raised their hands and chanted a mantra upon which circle is formed on the ground. The king took a gem from his clothes and handed over to the boy, Tears are coming out from his eyes unknown to him. He just instructed the boy to go to the middle of the circle.
Barfi walked towards the center of the circle, when he reached the center, a light piercing from the sky has fallen towards the boy illuminating all around him with thunder sound. Everyone closed their eyes because of the intensity of the light when they opened their eyes the boy has disappeared

**********************************************************************************************************
When the boy opened his eyes endless darkness greeted him. He tried to move his body, but he quickly learned that he was trapped in this space and he can’t even lift his finger. If there is another person in the boy’s place, he will pound on the self –conscious mind, like rain until he gets insane. But the boy’s mindset was tranquil, there are no thoughts no feelings just like a plant which will grow up and fade away when the time comes.
After some unknown time, Barfi heard the voice, we can’t distinguish any information from this voice like gender, age, and emotion behind the voice.
“What is your name?”
The boy replied, “my name Barfi”.
“Barfi nice name, do you know the meaning of it?” asked the unknown being.
“I don’t know” replied barfi.
“leave it, do you know the reason why you came to hear” asked unknown being
“yes, I was sent here as a sacrifice” replied barfi.
There are no feelings in the boy’s voice. Usually, when people come to this place they will beg for mercy or plead him to grant power. But, unexpected to him they are no feelings in the boy’s voice that surprised the ancient being.
The ancient being approached near Barfi, suddenly gem in the barfi clothe illuminated from which light pierced the darkness and greenery can be seen around the place. This turn of events surprised the ancient being, he knows the reason behind it, but he doesn't understand why the gem gets activated.
“Can u give the gem to me? I will grant you any wish.” said the ancient one.
“If you want the gem, you can take it” the boy handed gem to the ancient one without any conditions.
The ancient being was dumbfounded by the turn of events. Generally, he was the one who supposed to grant wishes. But now he was the one whose wish is full filed by a boy.

“Oh, I won’t take the gem just like that, let’s play a game whoever wins can have the right to take the gem,” said ancient being.
There is no reply came from the boy.
Seeing there is no desire in the boy, ancient feeling embarrassed, what is the need for water drops to an ocean. The ancient one taught boy doesn’t know the value of the gem and explained its importance to impress the boy, but nothing gets fancy in the boy’s eye.
After an unknown time “I want to learn feelings” said the boy.
Hearing this the ancient being laugh for unknown time, he finally stopped and said “Boy, let me tell you something, absence of darkness is light, absence of light is dark, absence of happiness is sad, absence of emotions is death, If you are alive you will feel many emotions which can’t be learned. There is no way to learn, you have to experience it”.
“Ok, then I will let you experience all kinds of emotions, by reincarnating you in another world, and I will ask you questions related to emotions if you gave all right answers you can have the gem otherwise it is mine,” said the ancient one.
The boy just nodded his head as a reply.
A bright light flashed, and the boy disappeared from that place, before disappearing he just heard some sentences with an evil laugh
“Boy, don’t curse me on your journey when you feel sad, as I already told you I will let you feel all kinds of emotion in your journey. This is going to be interesting”

Delve
Truth hides behind action. Delve. A word with many meanings. It may refer to an abyss, a dark place of no return or may also be a refuge, a haven of retreat from the harshness of the outside. None of those are right to me. For me, to delve is to seek the truth. Delving into that dark abyss and coming back with answers. To leave that safe refuge and suffer the pain of the outside just because it is real. This is the story of me delving deep into the truths of the universe. Suffering things that should not be suffered in search of things that should not be known. Once a common man, drowned in the same questions that have plagued humanity since the beginning of times, now I have found my answers. Now I have meaning. Delve, and you shall have yours as well. Jack is a regular citizen of modern society: he works on an office, uses public transport every day, receives a meager salary, and drowns his frustrations with entertainment and alcohol. Maybe, the only thing that sets him apart from many others, is his unique outlook on life. Despite feeling an unfillable void in his soul and suffering from deep depression, he still sees as his duty to be a functional, exemplary member of society. All in order to prove his life-goal point: no matter how good you are, life is still shit. This point-of-view, however, will be challenged by circumstances as a mysterious encounter with a weirdly dressed man takes him to a strange and dark cave. In this place, he will have to fight for his life against fantastical creatures from fiction, and more importantly, get face to face with his own nature. In doing so, he will uncover secrets about the cave that will change both him and all he ever thought to be true.

Synopsis: In a future of corporate rule, virtual technology and physical-derived coding have become the norm. With technology advancing at an alarming rate, the CEO of one such corporation, Shinji Takamura, discovers a code derived from the world itself. He dubs it: The Universal Code. After implementation, Takamura accesses a world that feels as real as his own.

And in the real world, conspiracies unfold that could threaten both worlds. Cover Art is "Puzzle and Dragons_Metatron" by shadowsinking. Check her stuff out! Seriously!DA:https://www.deviantart.com/shadowsinking Twitter:https://twitter.com/shadowsinking?lang=en This story currently has a biweekly schedule (may shift to weekly). Sometimes, I am able to get out earlier chapters. Note: This story is not a typical fanfiction. It is mainly an authentic work. This story only uses monster names/appearances, names of locations and the orb-matching strategy combat system from the app game on android/ios. The rest is original, which means prior knowledge for readers is not required. The app game has no plot, and this work also has no relation whatsoever to the anime aired starting in 2016. The goal was to create a story using these monsters, giving them personalities and purposes beyond just images and stats.
