In a Dark, abyssal place. Where the consciousness of Levi Furiman takes in. The moment he'd frightened and terrifying the most finally comes.
Whereas the only thing he can see is complete darkness and emptiness throughout it.
"Where...am...I?" He simply asked with a terrifying glare.
"Did I just die... All of a sudden?"
"Wait, this is not happening..."
"I am only dreaming, I need to get out of these."
"Or should I say, I need to wake up!"
The thoughts of being paranoid had been staggering to the minds of Levi Furiman, already frustrated and distraught about what happened.
As the result;
The more he stays in darkness, the more he gets traumatized by the things he has made thus far.
But then.
The Darkness and emptiness he'd felt had suddenly gone wiping out in an instant.
As a sudden grim of light, slowly bursting forth throughout the surroundings he held. Darkness and other unwanted entities nonchalantly getting dispersed and diminished into nothingness, slowly changing the course of surroundings entirely and thoroughly.
Not only that, the atmosphere and pressure that he felt were also changing drastically. As he senses a calm, cozying presence clothing with an ambiance on his roots.
"What, just... happened?" Levi seemed perplexed, couldn't believe the situations that happened all of a sudden.
!!??
Moments later. A cold, serene voice audaciously calling up his name from a distance. Levi went flustered, thinking for a certain noise that was seemingly familiar at some point.
{Yo, Levi Furiman... It's been a while}
It was the Unknown being who graciously approaching him. Astounding greeted him and simply commending.
Levi instantly acknowledged the voice that the Unknown Being made, couldn't hold himself but to greeted him as his response.
However, things might not be very well between each other. As the Unknown being started to cut off the pleasant feeling made by Levi just yet.
"Haaaaah! Unknown Being, It's been a while! how's it going."
"I was on a brink of despair moments ago, that the darkness and other evil thoughts started eating me alive. Until the light came up and you'd come afterward, thank goodness for the---"
{No... don't thank me for that.}
"What, why?" Levi is confused at the moment.
{Frankly speaking... you died.} The Unknown being went solemn, began warily for the worst possible response given by Levi Furiman.
"Huh? What are you saying?"
"You'd just lying to me like that, right?"
As he expected, Levi seemed flustered and frustrated later on as the result.

Misa Togo completely went despair, as she furiously watching the people astonishingly doing their business at the Administration Building like nothing happened.
She walked out to the opposite side of the route. Couldn't help herself but curse those people who didn't seem ungrateful to the person sacrificing their lives on the front lines.
Crying at sobbing in the middle of the streets, didn't bother to the faces of people unpleasantly staring at her like the ones doing it scandalous.
As she held herself sitting at the bottom of a tree, one citizen courageously approaching her. Wearing a brown cape and his whole appearance was completely covered up with his own shadow.
"Are you Okay, young woman?" An old patriot man asking with concern.
Misa simply nodded with grace.
"Just cry out loud, don't bother to those people watching you down..." He responds sagaciously.
"...Uhm...Yeah," Misa still sobbing, couldn't hold her tears from crying.
"You know what, crying is good when you can't fight to ones you cherished anymore."
Misa left silent, couldn't be helped but to listen to what the old man said to her.
"You're too young enough to worry about serious moments. Enjoy yourself a little bit and sharing those time with the ones you'd love the most."
"What do you mean by that?"
"By looking at you, you seemed frustrated with the things that made you down and discourage. Like you owe everything, thinking that you had every piece of responsibility which can everyone knows better than you do. From what I saw in your situation, you need to calm down a little bit and let others do their thing." The old man simply nodded with her, very wisely and gracefully. He graciously shared his thoughts to Misa's feelings in a moment, before he takes leave without consolidating his whereabouts, nor his identity either.
As what she realized. She made herself pushing to its limit, overdoing the thoughts that seemingly been selfish in the eyes of others. Causing them to worry and be discouraged on behalf of them.
After that, she tried on praising the old man's sayings that made her conscious made right on track. Unfortunately, the old man itself was already gone, leaving unnoticed and finding not a single trace of it.
"How strange, Where is he?" She asked curiously and wondering, thinking that she might be talking to herself the whole time and imagining the things that seemingly non-existed.
She tried to track the old man's movements, by activating her Eye of the Awakening. Sadly, she couldn't.
Moments after, her companions whereas the Church attendants finally arrived and worriedly approaching her.
Their faces looking so pale and frail, thinking some sort of wicked things that causing Misa to be triggered and raging all of a sudden. As the result, they started apologizing to her for no certain reason.
"No, don't feel sorry for me... I was the one being apologetic to you guys because of my selfishness." Misa kept bowing her head in front of them with serenity.
Even though the Church people didn't see a clear view of reasoning on making her mad and upset, they still felt relieved and glad as the face of Misa Togo is now bright and ecstatic once more. Completely having their thoughts that her problems and anxiety had finally gone and now on its resolve.
"Hmm... Maybe we should visit Levi-chan first before we leave. Right? Misa-san?" One Church attendant simply having her suggestion.
Everyone looked surprised, as they instantly forgot the main objective of having them together to the village in one place.

The sudden changes of the System notification had seemingly noticeable for the eyes of Levi Furiman, whose already been irritated and frustrated the whole time.
'Woah, Amazing...'
He simply felt ecstatic, couldn't hide his face from being happy. As he had seen the fruits of hard work and sacrifice that he made are worth paying for.
'I got leveled up quickly by doing that kind of spell or something?' His thoughts went mumbling on his head.
"I need to step up more, much harder than the ones I'd made before." He seemed promising as what the way he used to see on it.
Moreover;
As his mind went puzzling continually and thoroughly. That he instantly forgot of where he went and the situation he currently held in, far reluctant and depressing than he imagined.
It was because the way the Unknown being coherently appearing towards him was now utterly annoying and frustrating.
"Don't scare me like that, stupid moron!" Levi started mumbling and complaining for some reason.
The Unknown being simply laughed and was amused at what just he felt at the moment.
"What? I just only telling to you the first half, but on the other one." He simply smugging.
"Yeah, you telling me the first one... not the actual first one dumbass! you just skipped to the last part!" Levi left pouted and frustrated towards him.
"Hahahaha! My bad, my bad!" The Unknown being couldn't help but be apologetic.
.
Earlier;
It was all started when the Unknown being unintentionally skipping his words to the end in front of a flustered Levi Furiman, whose slowly getting eaten into despair and absolute darkness from within.
{Frankly speaking... you died.}
"Don't screw with me dammit! How the hell did I die by some meaningless reasoning?" Levi furiously complain
{Meaningless? so the ones you'd recklessly made perilously were utterly meaningless? think again, small fry.} The Unknown being went solemn as if he gets insulted suddenly.
{Remember who are the ones you'd take risks to save the lives of many.} He added with his words calmly and solemnly.
Levi simply paused for a while, mesmerizing the thoughts and decisions he'd made over the past few days of fighting, against the Magic creatures and other monsters living inside the break of a dungeon.
"Yeah... I didn't think about it, I'm sorry. I was too young to realize it." Latterly, Levi seemed down and distraught on himself. Thinking that ended up dying in a place like the ones he held is worthwhile.
{Don't be so down like that, What is just happened, was already happened. Besides, they're all wanting to die most regrettably. All you have to do is to stop them until the realization of being alive is very important ongoing back into their conscience.} The Unknown Being left condoning the lives of the living, teaching some values and lessons to the man possessing the power of the Supreme Awakening.
"But what about Gwaco, and others that I didn't save? It was all my fault for being so late to respond from their saving." Levi went sorrowful as he suddenly went remembered the ones he couldn't save long before.
{Don't mind about it, what's more, important is the lives of others that you'd saved. Even though they said they didn't deserve to be dead, the fate of itself had already been fixed and never might be predicted to be changed. That's how life run is, Levi Furiman.} The Unknown Being simply responded in a sorrowful way.
{What's more than that, is the reason for having you in this kind of place.} He added to what he said.
Levi quickly went out of his head, completely forgotten on the purpose of a meeting with the Unknown Being, after he kept blaming himself for putting the lives of many others into despair.
"Did I just really died? after I cast that spell? What about the others? The Homo-goblins and other Monsters? Did I save them?" Levi was completely frustrated, couldn't think of himself properly due to the happenings he'd made the entire time that made his whole body and mind atrociously affected.
But then, as what the Unknown Being cautiously resolved to the problems that made Levi went out of his mind. He sagaciously answered all of his deep thoughts like flushing all the waste that he made after eating.
This time, he solemnly explaining to him. By responding to some answers that seem pleasant and serenity on his mind.
"So that was it, I unintentionally putting the contract spell into its maximum capacity that causing myself into a brink of suffering. Moreover, other dungeon breaks that I didn't encounter that suddenly being activated were all covered with the said contract that I already made. Putting them all together as one and slowly driving them away from despair. As the result, the taxation toll of the contract was astoundingly incomparable, allowing my body to overhaul and devouring into pieces that even some basic recoveries had been made nothing but a comical." Levi sincerely understands the situation and went out mumbling on his head.
The Unknown being seemingly terrified yet intrigues him at the moment, the way he made himself very attentive and volatile in terms of reasoning. He felt glad and relieved as he believed the Possessor of the Supreme Awakening was an absolute certainty and very convincing to be chosen.
.
.
{It seems like you already knew the place where you held in, right?} The Unknown being suddenly went serious as he noticed the eyes of Levi Furiman, didn't show any signs of confusion and passivity any longer.
"Yeah, to fight you once again for me to return into my body... Seems understandable." Levi suddenly went audacious and fired up, as he noticed everything that he has seen was constantly changing dramatically. The way he staring at the Unknown Being, totally remarkable and fully prepared.
However;
As what he didn't expect.
Levi's determination and resolute completely went out wrong all of a sudden, which made him startled out and perplexed once again.
{So you'd seemed ready for your penalty quest, aren't you?}
"Yeaaa---... Wait... What quest?"
And thus, another set of confusion made by those two morons had now finally begun.
