《New World - New Beginning》Chapter 1: What's this?
Advertisement
One day more, one day less, what do I know? This is already a daily routine in my life; the only positive point of this routine is that I will be able to play on my beautiful computer once I get home.
Everything is the same, same room, the same shelf full of my collection of anime and gaming games and figures, same computer, same cactus, everything is in its place.
Everything was normal until I turned on the monitor because everything started to shake, at first I thought, a common tremor, but then it became stronger and stronger, shit! It's not a tremor. It's an earthquake!!!
Things started to shake more and more, my shelves were shaking, and my window started to vibrate, and in the middle of all this, I was in the middle of it, with the computer in front, the window with the cactus on the right, the furniture behind me and the door on the left.
I decided to leave because I didn't want to risk it; while I tried to go to the door, my foot strumbled, and I fell to the floor, and then I felt how my shelf fell on my head.
What's wrong.... I don't see anything.... I only hear some tinkling sounds.... I don't have the strength to get up, and I even feel the floor shaking.... something falls in my eyes, and although I don't see, I feel an intense burning..... I'm cold and sleepy.... I want to sleep.... I see... I'm going to die...
Well, I guess that's it; I lived a good life, not complete but good, I did what I could, and I didn't hurt anyone, much less the animals; even so, I regret not knowing the end of many mangas I followed, the end of Doctor Stone and more importantly the end of One Piece, damn that hurts me.

Well, looking on the bright side, I want to know the endings of many manga and series I was following!!! I'll take the one that brought me! I'm only 30 years old. I'm still young! To all this, if you want to know what happens after death? Do we go to heaven or hell based on our life on earth, or do we reincarnate into another living being, go back to live in another body but in another time and without remembering our past, or do we die and everything is darkness?
Well, I will find out in a few minutes or seconds; I feel like I can no longer think clearly; it's like watching a movie fragmented into scenes; after a few seconds, which I feel like hours, I start to feel sleepy ... it seems to be the end .... I do not want to think alone .... I want to sleep ....
.... What the hell? What is this place?
I am sure that I have died, but I was convinced that the end is only darkness, or at least I would become a soul and be judged for all the actions I did in life, but this is very different from what I imagined.
I find myself in an empty room with clear glass tiles like a mirror, and in front of me is a wooden desk with roots all over it and 2 logs as chairs; in the middle of the desk is a crystal sphere like the ones used fortune tellers.
But the strangest thing is that one of the chairs is a marble-coloured humanoid puppet sitting motionless... what is all this? Also, why the hell am I naked!
What does it cost them to give me a robe or a towel to cover it, are they costly cloth, well as there is no one I think it doesn't matter, even so, I feel uncomfortable, I start to check the room, but everything is as it is, there is nothing else apart from what I already saw.

I decided to approach the trunk shaped seat; when I sat on it, some words came out on the desk "Your hands on the sphere".
WTF!? What the hell... ok, why am I surprised? This is already weird, I have nothing to lose, so I put my hands on the sphere.
As soon as I placed my hands on the sphere, it started to glow in many colours: Red, Black, White, Blue, Blue, Green, Turquoise, Pink; it was like seeing an aurora borealis while the sphere was constantly changing colours the mannequin started to glow and change, it was so bright that I had to cover my eyes, I could only hear a screeching sound.
After a few seconds, before I was a person with a multicoloured robe and a face that you could not tell if it was a man or a woman, from his back came out wings half black and half white, is it an angel or a demon? What exactly is this being?
While I thought that the figure before me began to speak.
Good morning, Mr Marco Diaz; how are you feeling? ...Who are you, no...more importantly, what is this place? Wow, what manners of mine, I am Eos, the assistant who will help you transition to the afterlife. So, if there is another life after death? Do I go to heaven or hell? What do I do after I get there? Eos: Let's go in parts: Yes, there is another life after death. You go to heaven, but it is no longer as you describe it. You will live as you lived on earth but with significant differences. What do you mean? Can you explain it to me? Eos: I could explain it to you, but due to some laws I can't give you much information, think of it this way, you will go back to live like in the middle ages but in a more fantasy way and without the problems of diseases and healthiness of that time. .... Why in the middle ages? Eos: I can't answer. .....is it dangerous? Eos: When you were living on earth, did you also have the same questions? .... you are not going to answer me, are you? Eos: It's not that I don't want to; it's just that I can't. Well, then what do I do first. Eos: First read this.
As soon as I finished saying that, the crystal ball in front of me transformed into a brown-coloured book, while from it shone some letters forming the word "TUTORIAL".
This is... Eos: A book that will help you better understand the world of AETHER.
