Another World: My life is on the hook!

The deathly silence of the void, the heavy darkness pressing down on one's senses, makes it hard to breathe.

Looking around, there is now only one person left.

Lynn opened his heavy eyes with a languid expression. The silence that enveloped him from all directions felt like it was going to crush him in the frigid sky.

He opened his mouth to speak, but the deathly silence choked him, preventing him from speaking. He wanted to respond with silence, but it was as if his entire mind was filled with the howling of the dead. It seemed that when he opened his eyes, she was still in front of him as before, but in a moment of confusion, everything vanished like a bubble.

Lynn looked up.

He finally walked step by step toward that desolate void, staggering and walking alone.

As far as the eye could see, the world was utterly silent.

"Even you're gone, how am I supposed to cope now..."

His face was ashen, like a soulless walking corpse, like this final farewell, like all of this finally ushering in that deathly emptiness.

And it seems that only at this moment did he finally understand.

What's gone is gone. You're wallowing in the sadness and pain of the past, but that makes you overlook those who are still with you. When you finally remember them, when you try to hold on to them tightly, everything slips through your fingers like sand through your veins.

Bye now……

Quill pen.

But this time, I don't think I'll be discouraged anymore.

I will carry your share, and all the hopes and expectations of everyone, to complete... this final journey.

……

……

It's like the only scenery in this eternal night.

It was bone-chillingly cold, as if she would be submerged in this deep pool for the rest of her life. But whether it was an illusion or not, just when she thought this icy invasion would last forever, she felt rays of light flowing into her heart, like a warm current flowing through her soul, warming her completely little by little.

It's very warm; it seems like the cold has suddenly disappeared.

And in what seemed like a very long time afterward, whenever she felt herself falling, that warm current, like sunshine, would lift her up once again.

But later.

She wasn't sure if she was in a daze, because the ray of sunlight that warmed her was gradually weakening, just as a flame cannot burn forever, just as firewood will eventually go out when it runs out.

But she still heard those gentle words, like those of someone she once knew, as light as a drifting feather.

"Zuo Zuo, I'm so sorry, I may not be able to say hello to you again when you wake up."

"But I'm still very happy because you were there for him during those dark years that followed."

"Because we all know that only Zuo Zuo is the one who can pull him out of the gloom, and only Zuo Zuo has always been the most important person in his heart. Hehe, because Zuo Zuo holds the greatest weight in his heart, and no one can replace her."

"so."

"I'm counting on you, in these final days."

"When he's acting crazy, you have to pull him back; when he's silent, you have to talk to him more; if he's still stubbornly thinking about everyone, then slap him across the face to wake him up, haha! Because he'll only listen to Zuo Zuo, because only when Zuo Zuo is around... he still has..."

"That home."

Those sounds seemed to disappear quickly and for a long time.

And after that, it seemed like a very long time had passed. She was talking in a daze, and finally it seemed that she was no longer sinking. It seemed that there was a ball of fire that gradually dispelled the cold winter for her.

She finally woke up slowly, gradually opening her hazy eyes.

Light flooded into my pupils.

It was still all emptiness and darkness, just like when she finally managed to throw that head back into the river of time.

The moment she awoke, she saw the figure sitting cross-legged in front of her, and that face and features that were so familiar to her.

"Left left."

His voice still seemed gentle, but his eyes held a forced smile masking a deep sense of weariness.

That moment.

She finally recognized him; it was his useless, timid self.

That face, those eyes.

But just as she opened her mouth to speak to him, she found herself unable to utter a single word.

Because his hair... had turned completely white.

Her memories of him were actually still stuck in the time when they fell outside of time, when they were driven to the brink of despair by the God of Truth. If it weren't for the collapse of time that saved their lives, they probably would have erased that distant past long ago.

but……

but……

Zuo Zuo stared tremblingly at the figure with a full head of white hair who was still smiling at her, as if he had experienced countless hardships and had traversed endless years.

At that moment, she finally rushed into his arms, crying and hugging his neck tightly. The long strands of white hair that slipped through her fingers were like the white-haired person in history that they had seen together in the illusion of the past, as if everything had converged into one point at this moment.

"Your hair has turned white! Your head!!"

……

It's like finally reuniting after endless suffering.

He would still smile at her, just like the boy he once was.

But she could still sense that he had long since weathered the storms of life, and that useless, clueless guy who had shared hardships with her during the hellish period seemed to be gone forever.

"Has it been a long time?"

“真的是太难了！?0?0?0?1?0?1?0?3?5?4?6?3?0?9?0?1?0?1?0?3?5?5！我还以为那个时候的凑脑袋一辈子都要醒不过来！！不过我就知道你这个家伙命大！就像蟑螂一样，还是好端端地出现在本左面前了啊！！”

She pounded her fists on his chest as if she wanted to kill him.

But she still forcefully shook off her tears, her big, teary eyes looking at him.

"Where is everyone? Are you all alright! What happened afterward! Did the God-King of Truth die? After all, he should have been banished to another time by then, but there are still so many enemies in the divine realm... You idiot..."

But she didn't say anything more.

She stared blankly at the man who leaned in and hugged her tightly, as if trying to melt her completely into his chest.

"All is well... Head later... defeated them all, whether they were the gods of the divine realm or those even darker things outside, Head has burned them all! Apart from that calamity, they can no longer threaten us... They no longer have the right..."

Lynn hugged her, smiling through his sobs, as if he had countless things to say to her.

But she could still hear the deep sadness in his words.

Zuo Zuo stood there blankly as he held her.

Because she knew, because she understood him best, if all the enemies had truly been wiped out, if a complete victory had truly been achieved, he would definitely not be in this state now.
