Darkened Daylight

[How much crazier is my life going to become?]

"No need to feel like a burden!", Madrona tried to cheer me up. But his looks were so obvious. They didn't cheer me but pitied me. I felt like wanting to kill myself. I didn't even think of myself as a burden. But, here is an origin entity mentioning me as a burden. How obvious can he be?

I had no choice but to let it slide since the one who was in front of me was none other than the first and foremost origin entity whose might reigned supreme over the other two entities.

[I wonder what kind of monster I would become if I am about to inherit the 'Darkened Daylight'. Would I become like him with a dragon face and a body with claws and spikes?]

---smack---

I was smacked with the flick of Madrona's fingers, which sent me flying backwards.

---crash---

When I opened my eyes, I saw myself being stuck in between the cracks of the walls where I crashed.

Madrona ordered me, "That's your punishment for making fun of my appearance. Stay there until I feel like talking to you again!"

I pissed myself with the pressure.

He sat down and took a transparent sphere that was ten times the size of a basketball out of thin air and placed it in mid-air in front of the sofa. He sat down and began to watch the battle of gods and other races that were prevailing in otherworlds through the floating sphere. The floating sphere was projecting crystal images of ongoing scenarios. From my point of view, it felt like an old man watching sports on television.

[Guess origin entities live completely on a different level.]

I got curious all of a sudden. But I was undergoing punishment. I had no choice but to be quiet until he felt like talking to me.

...

Two hours had passed and I was still stuck between the cracks of the wall.

"You may come and sit!"

"!!!!"

Madrona permitted me to continue. I made sure to not get on his nerves for the second time. Two hours were wasted due to my stupidity. I sat back on the black chair. He snapped his fingers.

---whoosh---

The huge transparent sphere vanished into thin air. He sure enjoys using his sovereignty. Madrona attempted, "Earlier, you were trying to ask something while I was watching otherworldly battles. What was it?"

I asked, "Don't you have a separate realm for yourself? The origin of aftermath had the afterlife and the origin of light had the realm of living beings. But I never got to know anything about you. I never got to know the alias that you and origin of light received when I was the Demon god. In fact, I never heard about you in my previous life. I thought that the origin of light and aftermath were the only origin entities that ever existed. What is your realm like?!!"

Curiosity slipped out of my mouth rapidly. Madrona interpreted,

"Fine, now listen carefully. Cause I can tell you only once. This is supposed to be only in between us!"

"I heard you loud and clear sir!", I exclaimed.

Madrona placed the top of his index finger on my throat. I felt a slight amount of heat inside my throat. He continued.

"With this, you must not be able to reveal anything that you heard today!"

...

"When a living being is born, he destines in the realm of living beings, and when that living being dies, he destines in the afterlife...

But there are also cases where that living being may end up getting restrained from ascending to the afterlife or restricted to remain in the living worlds as a dead soul!"

"!!!!"

I interpreted, "That's when you get involved?"

Madrona continued.

"Yes, I take in the poor souls whose original fates were twisted by unknown forces. Even before the existence of Kraissilis, it was me who tamed the dead souls that died due to trivial causes and used them in war against Martha.

There were also living beings who prayed for me or approached me to receive the power of dark, they were dwellers who suffered injustice throughout their life despite being a living being under the authority of origin of light.

And yes, I do have a realm of my own that is...

'Absolute Abyss'.

That is where dark souls dwell. There, they are known as 'Infinitos'!"

I interrupted, "Infinitos? Why?"

Although the term sounded cool, it was weird to indicate infinite in it. Madrona exclaimed,

"The term Abyss refers to bottomless darkness. In a way, it can also be considered an infinite black hole. That's why I named the dwellers as Infinitos who live in that infinite black hole!"

I reviewed firmly, "Your reason in interpreting the dwellers as Infinitos have complete justification!!!"

I continued, " What was your alias in the 'Absolute Abyss'?

The origin of dark looked at me for quite a while and spoke two phrases with a smirk, "Dark Reigner!!!"

"!!!!", the phrase 'dark' resembled nature and the phrase 'reigner' resembled a supreme ruler. Both phrases combined gave an incredible vibe. I liked Dark Reigner more than Dray Madrona. But, I cannot call him by that alias, since it is an alias. I can be exposed in the future due to my stupidity if other origin entities were to peek at me. I would rather call him Mr Madrona since I don't want my destiny to tamper again. I am now already a target of the origin of light and the origin of aftermath. I asked, "How did you receive that alias?!"

Madrona answered, "The war that you witnessed just now through my mind magic was the first all-out war that me, Martha and Kraissilis ever engaged into.

Right after I won the war, the people who fought alongside me declared their victory and dwellers of afterlife and realm of living accepted their defeat with no choice. Later, I was deemed the mightiest in the entirety of existence.

Few days after the war, the origin of light and aftermath came to my castle and accepted their defeat. That was when both Martha and Kraissilis took the opportunity to give me an alias as proof of them admitting the might of Madrona and their surrender!"

I got goosebumps as I heard everything.

[To receive an alias from none other than his archenemies. It must have been a prideful moment for the Dark Reigner when receiving such omnious title from his enemies who accepted their mistakes.]

Now, only one question remains. Before I asked the final question, Madrona halted me and asked.

"What did we talk about?"

I replied, "We talked about ... ... ...!"

"!!!!"

[What the...? Why can't I spout anything?]

The origin of dark gave off a smirk and told me - "Earlier when I placed my finger on your throat, I used one of my sovereignty. Therefore, you can't say anything related to me even while taking your final breath!"

;;;;

[He enjoys using his sovereignty for sure.]

I continued with the question.

"What was the alias of the origin of light?"

Madrona answered - "Godmother!"

;;;;

That name wasn't much of a big shot. Back when I was on earth, people used terms like Mother-earth, goddess of light and then something else. I got so used to those names that I didn't feel any kind of reaction oozing out of me.

I didn't even feel like asking the reason for such an obvious alias. I interpreted,

"If my guess is correct, then the origin of light should have received that alias by travelling around the realm of the living, teaching different kinds of magic and techniques with different principles to living beings in every world and spreading her ideals everywhere via disciples!"

Madrona was astonished and asked, "How did you know?"

I answered, "Back on earth, I read countless novels, comic books and even watched television series. It was so obvious...!"

[Phew...

!!!!

What the heck? I got carried away by my curiosity and forgot the most important thing again?]

"If your curiosity is cleared, then I would start explaining about 'Grand law' that you were wanting to know so badly!", said Madrona.

"...Please enlighten me...!", I replied.
