Twilight Aftermath: Kingdom ( Twiath: I )

Chapter 10: Farewell

In a deep void where my consciousness lies, different voices ranging from feminine to muscular sounds are repeatedly saying my name, asking me to wake up. In a few moments, the voices began to sound louder and louder and loud-

[ Chiaro-kun ]

I then immediately woke up from the voice of the entity and found myself in-

[ Is this.. The afterlife? ]

A place where the world is divided into two colors, a white color on the right and a black scenery on the left. I am on the white side while the entity who woke me up by saying my name is on the black side

[ Nuh uh, this is our consciousness, Chiaro-kun ]

[ That voice.. ] I realized who it is, it is the entity who have the same appearance as me but gives a sinister black aura [ It's you.., what happened to me? ]

The entity began walking towards me, his black surroundings are expanding as he walks

[ Luckily you survived ]

Each step he takes is breathtaking as ever, and as he gets closer, the air started to feel heavier

[ But unfortunately, we used too much essence ]

He extends his right hand

[ I even used my Dark Attribute to save you, and you used your trump card despite having a powerless body ]

I swallowed the air as he touches my chin

[ Our body can't handle our attribute, we have to train it to its fullest until we regain the perfect state that we were once in ]

[ I still don't- ]

[ Once you reach the rank Xenon, you'll regain your memories- ]

[ Rank? Xenon? ]

[ You must have a lot of questions but unfortunately, we don't have time- ]

A feminine voice began echoing in our surroundings calling my name

[ We used too much essence, and unless I go away, this body of ours will crumble- ]

[ Wait what are- ]

[ I still haven't said my name to you right? Chiaro-kun? ]

The voice echoing in our surroundings became louder

[ I am- ] As soon as he said that, his black surroundings as well as him began acting like they're being blown by the wind [ Scuro ]

[ Scuro? ]

Scuro looks at me once again-

[ Chiaro-kun, I'll be back once you get stronger- ]

[ Wait, where are- ]

[ Chiaro-kun, for now, reach the Sinister Rank and do your Near-Death Ability ]

[ What are you ta- ]

Half of his body and black surroundings are gone

[ That way, I'll know our body is ready for us ]

And with the little remnants of black particles that are left, he said-

[ I'll be waiting for you, Chiaro-kun ]

Before my white surroundings completely devoured the black part of the world

[ Scuro.. ]

I don't know what happened, but it feels like I lost a part of myself. As I began grieving, the feminine voice that was calling me out became louder and louder and loud-
