Volume 5, Chapter 0: The Prelude for Part 2

As space-time violently rippled, the shattered human soul was sent through the torrent of the dimensions.

It was a storm of emptiness raging in a void that had nothing.

“I” dreamt in that violent whirlpool.

Beautiful, gentle parents… Living as a noble… Smiling towards servants…

Golden hair… Black hair… little friends.

A big castle… a splendid king… a little boy with a defiant face…

A boy with earnest eyes that held a sword……

And…

The sweet smell of overflowing blood…

A dark sky… A dark world…

Thousands of grotesque monsters, all kneeling before me…

Four boys and a girl…

An enormous cat… dark like ink…

Reflected in its eyes……

A golden cat.

I quietly dreamed it all.

A wall that was made to stop “Me”, that had enormous power,

And a great force called out for “Me”.

Someone was calling.

An unknown voice…? No, I know this voice. A boy…? A girl…?

I faintly heard the quiet whine of a “Beast”.

Were you… calling out to me?

“……Ah, you’re awake.”
