Chapter 61: Ceres VS Black Dragon, Part Three, It's Wonderful to Be Alive

Where am I? It's so dark... But across the river there's a bright and beautiful flower garden.

My parents who are supposed to be dead are screaming at me not to come.

But I feel like... if I go there I'll be happy.

I feel like... I can sleep peacefully after everything is over.

So sleepy...

If I sleep in that field of flowers... I might be able to get rid of all this tiredness.

At a daze I start to cross the river.

But the more I try to cross the river, the more my parents' faces turn pale.

They're yelling like mad, 'Don't come here!'

But it's dark and cold here and I don't want to be here.

And before I know it, I've finished crossing the river.

"Ceres... why did you cross? This is the afterlife... and you can't go back."

"You can't come back if you are here..."

The area became dark... and out of the darkness, a demon-like presence came toward us.

"You've finally crossed over, you fool! Your parents tried so hard to stop you... but you've crossed into the underworld... No human can return!" The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at N0v3l.Bin.

I hear a monster, not an ogre, but a monster with the face of an ogre, talking to me.

Maybe this is a dream.

The proof is that I don't feel fear for such a terrifying creature.

It's not as big as a Black Dragon, but it's bigger than a three-story building in the previous world.

"The underworld...? You mean the afterlife...? No, I can't die yet... Father, Mother, I'm sorry... I've taken four wives... And Mother and Father know them, right...? They are Shizuko-san, Haruka-san, Misaki-san, and Sayo-san... so I have to go back..."

And suddenly I have long claws in my hands... I must be dreaming.

"Y-Y-Y-Your claws, your eyes... The ruler of the underworld, the dragon royalty... Please forgive me... Help me, help me..."

* * *

After that, I'm awake... and it seems I'm under the ground.

There's something fishy in my mouth and it tastes funny.

But I gotta get out of here...

When I got out, I was covered in blood and dirt... like a zombie.

My clothes are like rags and I look like a vagrant to anyone who looks at me.

There's nothing around here... and if only I could fly, it would be so much easier...

I started walking through the forest thinking that.

Still... why am I alive...?

If my memories are correct... how could I be alive with my body cut in half?

Or was that a hallucination I had out of fear...

Maybe the demon-like creature that followed must have been a hallucination too...

I should never be able to see my dead parents again too?

Well, I don't know where it came from, but I must have been hallucinating...

As for the battle, The Black Dragon that beat me up, assumed I was dead, and buried me... that's about it.

If he thinks I'm dead... he won't attack me anymore, right?

'It's wonderful to be alive.'

With that thought and the happiness of being alive, I walked toward King's Landing.
