THE DIMENSION GUARD
artefacts
Setsu walked into the mansion he had from all sorts of efforts to live a better life after exiting the military. Save all the money from his paycheck, or keep the crystal stones from the predators he kills. Setsu is quite rich and successful.
Stepping foot into that part of the basement, Setsu opened the door of the safe he used as a storage area, a cube object with a scratch letter in ancient language was right in the middle of the room.
Setsu opened a small package that she kept in her pocket. It was an artifact from the Mataram clan that Erdu gave as a form of bid to him.
"I already have the key to unlocking the Astral Dimension in full, and the Dimensional explorer's compass in order to find the existence of the Soul Lake, all complete, and Zifa.... I must have brought you back."
Four years ago....
One month after Zifa left, Setsu was in a down mental state, as if he did not have the spirit to do routine exercises or carry out missions.
Everyone is aware of the change in attitude that occurs in Setsu's personality, they know that Zifa is an important presence and cannot be replaced, until when Zifa is killed, just as Setsu loses his own soul.
But duty remains duty, he has broken military rule and is punished by the higher-ups, Setsu is put into the room where the special forces are to train, and he is, but for Setsu this room is a place to calm the mind or shut yourself.
The atmosphere is dark, dry, empty, and unkempt. Reflecting the light from the small window as the only illumination around him, Setsu was covered in a blanket and just sat quietly hugging his knees. Concave eyelids seem to have forgotten when the last sleep soundly. Staring blankly, looking at a walking spider catching prey as it enters a trap web. But not long after a gecko came to swallow the spider without excuse, without guilt and also without drinking.
He laughs, not about the misfortune of a spider being killed by a gecko, but rather Setsu laughs at himself as it might end up being the prey of a larger, vicious, greedy and dangerous gecko.
But Setsu doesn't care, she no longer has a reason to stay alive, whereas the one name that became the last defensive wall of her life has collapsed.
"At the end of the day everyone will die, so what am I fighting for all this time." Setsu muttered alone and laughed at himself as well.
Setsu's life is a mess because he lost all family members when attacking predators. Porak poranda, crushed melted and crushed without waste. The happiness that he lived free-fall without knowing how to fly. But thanks to Zifa he still has a purpose and a reason to keep fighting,
Time moved on, bringing every second to the minute, further and further into the Clock, not stopping for a day, two days, until one Sunday had been unwittingly passed by Setsu in the chamber of seclusion.
Once, Setsu felt tired, very tired, his soul was too tired to live life without knowing anything else, and wanted him to give up. Rounding off determination, a long-established long depression, exploded drowning himself in despair. He also intends to follow the choice of the heart that hangs himself.
If most people think death is a fear they want to avoid, but for people like Setsu, death is liberation from all the bitterness of life. Setsu hopes that if the misery she endured until now will end when death picks her up, giving herself happiness.
As the rope, which was wrapped around his neck, was tied straight in the middle of the room, images of the journey of life began to appear in his mind. There is nothing good about it all, where the family he has become a precious thing, full of happiness, joy, and affection, destroyed instantly by the predator dimension Noir.
"I'm giving up..."
"I'm giving up..."
"I'm giving up..."
"I'm giving up..."
"I'm giving up..."
"I don't want to live like this anymore."
"I'm giving up."
"I'm giving up..."
"I'm sick of myself."
"I'm giving up."
"I'm giving up."
"I'm giving up."
"I'm tired." Say the last Setsu by exhaling heavy and limp breaths.
Until the moment the body hangs and the neck is tied hard, the breath tightens, the vision starts to blur, and the whole body goes numb, there is no chance for Setsu to undo the intention. At a glance the mosaic fragments of vivid memories were vividly drawn, it was the sincere smile of a woman whom he loved wholeheartedly, she was Zifa
He remembered that when he saw Zifa's presence, his heart felt at ease, the last moment and just waiting for death to come, Setsu could recall all the things he had passed together.
But not long after, Setsu's body falls, someone breaks the rope to free himself from death. Feeling limp after all the oxygen in the brain is drained away, the eyes faintly see the visible shadow and it is not human.
An astral being forced out of the Maya dimension without a summoning circle. Setsu was able to realize his presence was not a normal thing.
"Who are you." Ask Setsu.
"Human, all your despair, your anger, your hatred and all the emotions that are piled up in your body make me call." Speak with a buzzing sound in mind.
Setsu tried to get up, and noticed from the faint shadows of the figure of an astral being without a master...."Why are you blocking me."
"I've been looking at you from an astral dimensional angle, and following you for some time now, I didn't think you were going to kill yourself at first, because usually after a slump there will be life motivations in order to get you back excited, but instead, you give up on living life, even intend to commit suicide, he said, don't you think your life will be wasted...."
"I didn't hear if it was the answer to my question."
"You lost your woman, so.... What if I knew how to get back the soul of the woman you love." Speak of an unnamed astral creature, knowing the wishes of Setsu.
It was true that Setsu was silent for a moment digesting all of his words..."Are you sure."
"Of course."
"Where can I find him."
"Not in this world, but in the Astral dimension..."
Setsu was stunned, she herself knew there was one way to resurrect a life that had been lost, but until now it had only been a myth, there was no certainty in doing so.
One nameless astral creature's presence provides clues that Setsu never thought possible, and he wants to try to forge cooperation.
"How do I do it." Ask Setsu.
"You must find two objects, the key to Dimension and the Compass of Nirvana." The astral creature replied to Setsu.
It was a prime condition for Setsu, two objects that might return Zifa in her life.
