LOGINVenus woke with surprise in the dark. She realized she was floating in a state of standing. Her body seemed to be in bottomless darkness. Venus wanted to cry again, but she thought she had to endure it. Venus is at the neck of death. She can't cry, even when there's nothing to cry about. No matter how hard she feels in her chest. Instead, Venus took a deep breath and exhaled slowly despite shaking.
Then, Death embraced her.
Venus's neck began to suffocate by the chain of nothingness. At first, slowly, but then getting stronger. Venus flailed at the air, struggling in vain to ask for Emptiness to release false shackles on her neck. Her body revolted and stretched like a snake that was hit on the head. Until when she thought she couldn't stand it anymore, the grip then just disappeared.
Venus panted and breathed in oxygen greedily, feeling strong and weak at the same time. In a sad mental exhaustion, she was strangely annoyed, and cursed a lot of things in the heart. Why is Death playing with someone who is going to die, she really doesn't know.
“Mama ...,” Venus whimpered after a while.
Venus thought the silence would persist, so she relaxed in the dark. The girl closed her eyes while remembering the photo of her mother who is now still stored in a backpack. As fast as her father's face appeared in her mind.
No, not father, Venus thought. But Bima. He is not your biological father, he is just a stranger who is forced to care for you.
Venus felt overwhelmed by this new and strange belief. Her throat was like a painful lump. She swallowed repeatedly, hoping that the pain sank back to the bottom of her stomach.
In the raging silence, Venus was silent while listening to the soft rustling produced by the darkness. Venus wondered what God was thinking about her fate. Why did He leave Venus alive? What does He mean, Venus was disciplined?
Then, the memory of her fake family hit Venus again. How are the two of them feeling right now? Are they happy because Venus is that despicable? Or are they feel sorry and sad? Have they ever even felt a slight affection for Venus? The thought clung to Venus, trying to burden her life, which remained at the tip of a finger.
Venus closed her eyes, hoping that everything would be easy. However, the appearance of a white round dot in the distance erased her hope. The girl looked at that point cautiously, but also a little curious. The light gets bigger and bigger, or approaches, Venus doesn't know. She covered her face with glare, but that didn't even help. Venus quickly turned her back to the light and kept her eyes closed.
“I'm done,” muttered Venus, trying to calm her heart by not being afraid.
Venus hadn't even had time to pray when the light enveloped her body. Then, just as terrible as darkness, Venus's consciousness then disappeared.
It was as if Venus had just dreamed of her dueling with a giant grasshopper, when a very high-pitched alarm yelled at her, until she awoke and sat up suddenly. Because of that, her eyes became somewhat dizzy. Venus groaned and lay down again for a few seconds. She grabbed the tablet on the nightstand. It was still 6:00 in the morning, and there was a message in the device with a loud clink once. The girl opened the message with her arms still hugging. The message contains a timetable for new students in grade one. Venus flickers to read today's schedule.Venus complained. She tried to sleep again, but a minute later the alarm sounded again in her ears."Oh, God!”She sat and stared at the ceiling of her room, hoping to find the technological spy who was watching her. While rubbing her eyes, Venus tried to ask the device about it. She did not expect that thing immediately answered in a voice like a child. As a result, she was shocked to death and threw the
Venus remembers when she came down from the podium, after Mrs. Mana announced trembling that she was a Bizura, everything in the large room became very quiet. The views of the other students really made the girl shiver. They looked at her with eyes as if she were a grim reaper in the form of a giant scorpion. There is a great deal of fear and anxiety in their gaze, but what makes Venus most afraid is a look of hatred that is not clearly stated by them. The hatred is covered by fear, but you can feel it clearly in the air.Venus walked with the steps she tried to keep calm. However, the air seemed to force her to stop and hide. The gazes of hundreds of students and dozens of krona in the room sank into her back and entire body. A frightening cold spread to her bones. It seemed years later, before finally Venus arrived at the table where her new friends watched with their body frozen.“Lira Blezana.”Mrs. Mana's voice was faint in Venus's flushed ears.
Mrs. Mana scans her tablet with concentration, and then starts to call out the names of the new kids randomly. The first child is called Kirka Sorawa. The girl was small and thin, with a typical freckled face. She walked stumbling and almost tripped on the podium. Though Venus estimates that the height of the podium wasn't until a span. Venus was so tense, that even her scalp felt itchy. Really annoying.“Stand in the center, darling,” said Mrs. Mana pretentiously sweet.Kirka nervously complied. Venus couldn't see clearly what Mrs. Mana was doing, other than that she had only dotted the screen of her tablet. However, suddenly from under the podium came a soft whirring sound, surprising Kirka. Venus's neck was protruding like a giraffe, and she even had to stand because of an un-strategic seat.From the edge of the podium, at least nine kinds of strange objects and a crow looked around fearlessly. The nine objects that seemed to surround Kirka were t
At first no one noticed or even glanced at Venus and the baby boy, but as the other children became aware of their purpose, whispers began to creep in annoyance. The baby boy's face turned pink, but it seemed that it actually made him increase his confidence. He walked with an arrogant look while slipping a hand into his pants pocket, while Venus just rolled her eyes inexorably.Venus walked while looking back at the children who mostly came from the seniors. She passed a small girl who looked at her with a frowned worry. Like Venus will die.Suddenly, the girl grabbed Venus's arm and whispered loudly, “They are dangerous! Better you and your friends find another seat!”Venus made a shocked expression. Too bad, she focused wrong on that girl's zit.“Really? If so, pray for our safety, okay?” The view of Venus switches to the mouth of another stove. “Well, stop gossiping as if we were going to be killed instead of joining thos
Venus thought they would also be delivered into the building after Meres opened the door. However, it turns out there is someone who has been waiting behind the door to greet, or rather, trying to intimidate them. That person is a middle-aged man with a big and muscular body. His gaze was so cold with his lips always frowning. In Venus's eyes, Meres seemed even friendlier than this person.“Is it over?” The man asked Meres in a deep voice.Meres just nodded, then he left with Lan without saying anything. And, boldly, Venus disturbed the scary man in all-white clothes in front of her. Of course with a somewhat scared feeling.“Who are you?” Venus's voice was small, but she didn't care.The man looked at her, instantly emitting frightening cold. This is bad, Venus will be swallowed whole!“Rokuga.”Venus let out a sigh of relief without being obvious.“Come on,” Rokuga said as he walked aw
A few minutes later they arrived in front of the open black gate. The door is too small compared to the wall, but also larger than the gate in general. In front of the door stood a short guy with a face like a baby.“Hey, where is the Portal Keeper who is supposed to drop you off?” Lan asked worriedly.The boy slipped his hand in his pants pocket.“His friend who was guarding the portal was rather difficult, so he told me to wait here and join other guards if anyone passed,” the boy explained with reddish ears.“Basic irresponsible people,” snorted Meres annoyed. “How can he play for safekeeping?”Lan struck Meres's arm slowly.“Sometimes we also do the same thing, right?” she said laughing. “For example, when I have to go to the toilet because it's really urgent?”Lan winked at Meres. It was the turn of the fierce man whose reddened ears.“Where you
