I was in a familiarly unfamiliar space,

There was darkness all around me and I wasn’t able to see anything, no start no end, it was as if I was in a quagmire of darkness where no matter how hard I kicked, no matter how hard I tried to jump, I wasn’t able to get out of it.

I resisted the quagmire for long but couldn’t seem to get out of it. It was then that a familiar voice resounded in my ears,

“Alex, if you can’t go against anything then try to go alongside it. Be like water, shapeless and formless, adaptable to any situation, be like this, and trust me you will get through any adversity”

I was filled with sadness, sorrow, and grief alongside a bit of happiness and delight. I raised my arm as if I wanted to touch or maybe catch something, something that even I was not aware of but in the end, the only thing that touched my palm was the cold air whistling throughout the void

My vision came back and I was in a room filled with lights and people that I had met just yesterday.

Nothing much happened after that, all of them just introduced themselves to me, I introduced myself to them and then I joined their team.

A team for what? You might ask, well, it was a team to go to Heaven!

***

I was still busy looking around the spacious room that I was transported in when I suddenly heard someone make an “Ahem!” sound, it was as if that ‘someone’ was trying to get my attention to him,

It was the boss who made the sound,

When I looked at him, he smiled and said,

“I would like to welcome you again to the team, Alex”

I knew that he wanted to say something more so I just bowed my head and looked at him again, the boss man, as if he didn’t care much about my casual behavior gestured me to sit on a chair, which I did, then he took a chair for himself and placed it before me,

After settling on the chair, he once again looked at me and asked,

“How much do you know about this world, Alex?”

‘What kind of question is that?’ I wanted to ask but I didn’t because I knew that we weren’t joking around right now,

I thought back to his question for a moment then answered,

“Not much really, I just know about stuff related to continents since I was born in a place where most of the people wanted to go to the HEAVEN continent, nothing else apart from that”

I answered truthfully to my ability,

“Okay, please share all your information with us”

Hm? Why though? Well, it wouldn’t really hurt me to do that so I guess it’s fine

“Hmm… from where should I start? Okay, first there are altogether 5 continents in the world, Eastern Establishment, Western Establishment, Center of Chaos, Limbo Continent, and then finally the Heaven Continent. The first three continents are together known as Habitable Land, and the Limbo Continent and Heaven Continent are identified as Dead Land since no one actually lives there. The Eastern establishment is located in the easternmost part of the world, if you travel west from there you will get to the Center of Chaos and then to the Western Establishment. The part of the land that lies west to the Western to Establishment across the Ocean of Death is called the Limbo Continent. If you cross Limbo Continent then according to legends you will finally get to the HEAVEN”

I took in a sip of water and then continued,

“The last person to go to the Limbo continent was someone named Angus Hillary around 1000 years, but in the end, he never returned, after that the Limbo Continent alongside the Heaven Continent has been designated off-limits to everyone. But even so, many people try to go there despite knowing the dangers involved, such people are called, the ‘HEAVEN SEEKERS’. People have been trying to cross the western establishment to get to the Limbo Continent but even after that, there has been no one who was actually able to get there”

I looked around the room once more, no one apart from the Boss was paying attention to me,

Cerise looked confused, her mother Olivia was reading a magazine, Arielle and Joey were playing table tennis, Maya was laying on the bed, Kirk was reading a book, and Ren was sleeping

…

…

What the hell!?

I have been explaining about the world for so long and they weren’t even paying any attention!!!

I was aggrieved, I was devastated, since my crush first started ignoring me, this was the first time that I have ever been ignored so badly…

Joey looked in my direction for a second and gave me a nasty smirk

Ugh… now I feel really bad!!!

'I hope he hits his head in a pole!!!' I prayed sincerely

And god listened to my prayer as soon as I said it,

Taking advantage of his ignorance Arielle smashed his forehead with the Ping Pong ball and Joey pathetically fainted on the spot

Serves him right!!!

“Now now Alex, no need to get so depressed, you see, the reason why they weren’t paying any attention was because they already knew that the information you were going to say was wrong”

Wrong? Does he suspect me of lying?

“No sir, I didn’t…”

I was about to say that I didn’t lie but Boss just raised his hand to stop me and smiled at me,

“Of course, I know that you weren’t lying. What I am saying is that the information you know is wrong”

It’s wrong?

Then doesn’t this mean that the place those people from my homeland risked their lives to get at never existed in the first place!?

As if understanding my thought process the owner said,

“Yes, I am afraid so. I am very sorry”

It took me a bit of time to regain my mind and I said,

“Don’t worry, sir. It’s nothing, nothing really. But sir please help me get rid of this confusion, if my information is wrong, then what’s the correct one? How does one actually get to the HEAVEN Continent?”

The boss looked at me, this time with a serious expression on his face,

“We go there, with the help of SCIENCE!”
