(Paul's POV)

Monika and I sat infront of the TV, eating the sweet, sugary chocolate I had lying around. Yuri and Andrew went to the cafe to check on the staff. The living room is the only place in the house where noise could be heard. We watched Toradora while we waited for the others to arrive. Time flew by as we went trough episodes of the show. We reached the snow ski arc when I decided to take a break for a moment.

" I need to take a break for a moment. I need to go grab some food." I stood up and stretched my arms. Monika looked at me with puppy eyes.

" What? What do you want?" I raised an eyebrow at her. She beamed brightly at me.

" More sweets! I want more sweets!" Monika pleaded to me. I simply nod and walk away.

I gathered the chocolates and candies in the refrigerator, along with a pre-made ham and egg sandwich. I was about to go back to the living room when I felt a light tremor. Suddenly, the lights in the house started to flicker on and off. The appliances in our house started to fluctuate. I stopped what I was doing to see if the electrical system in our house had any damage, but as I walked towards the breakers, my phone started to ring. I picked it up to hear the sobbing and saddened voices of my parents.

" Paul... we will always love you, and whatever happens, please-" The dreadful sound of metal being torn apart and the tormented wailing of souls can be heard from the backround before the line got cut off.

" M-Mom?! Dad?! Hello?! Are you guys alright? Mom? Dad?" I dropped my phone and myself to the floor. A cold chill went down my spine as my mind tried to process what is happening.

" Paul! Look at the news!" I scrambled to my feet and dashed towards the living room. I looked in horror at the live feed of what is happening my parent's laboratory. The entire site is being rapidly consumed by a growing black hole.

" What the hell?! Mom and Dad are still there! Monika, we have to make sure they're safe." I stood up and was about to run trough the door when Monika stopped me. Tears were flowing down her rosy cheeks.

" We can't help them anymore. I'm sorry." Monika embraced me tightly. I was dumbstruck, to see the brink of the apocalypse in front of you, it does a number on your brain.

I pulled away from the hug and looked outside. The loud sirens and ringing of bells echoed trough the air. My heart sank as I came to terms with my parents' fate. I simply stood silent and shivering, the distant destruction of the world is fast approaching. I walked towards the sofa and laid down, I'll just let this whole thing happen while I sleep. But before I was able to close my eyes, Monika lept on top of me. She covered my face with a thousand soft kisses before boldly pressing her lips unto mine. We closed our eyes and let our worries melt with our passionate and fiery exchange. After what felt like forever, we pulled away and cupped each other's cheek.

" I love you, Paul..." I felt her caress my cheek.

" I love you too Monika, and I want to at least spend my final moments with you." I gently caress her cheek to try and comfort you.

" I'm sorry Paul, but I have to do this. I can feel it, that thing is converting the world into raw data. That means I coyld still do this..." Monika gestured in the air, and to my shock, a command console appeared. She typed something before I suddenly lost consciousness.

I rubbed my aching head as I woke up on the floor. I looked around and saw that K was in the space room, except this time, I was actually in it. I stood up and turned around to see Monika crying on her desk. I walked up to her and shook her lightly. She looked at me and stared with her glistening, moist, green eyes. She smiled for a moment before hugging me.

" I'm sorry! I couldn't save them... I tried but their data has already been corrupted by it. Forgive me..." She cried heavily on my shoulder, I simply pat and told her it's gonna be alright.

" Hey, look at me... I know we can save them, together! So let's just keep our heads in the game, okay?" I once again hug her, but she quickly pulled away. She smiled at me with tears in her eyes.

" Hey, remember when I said it's time for us to be a hero? Well that time has come." She slowly walked up to me and placed a picture of all of us in my hand. It was taken when we were at the beach. She smiled and pulled out her console.

" You're gonna start to find their data? Good! I'll help you with that." I exclaimed optimisticly, but she merely shook her head.

" No, I'm not powerful enough to do that. But I can give you the power to find out how." Suddenly, I felt my head ache. I caught a glimpse of her console and saw that we basically share admin powers. Beside that, I saw some sort of command.

" Paul, I'm really sorry for this. Please know that I will forever love you." She smiled and gave me a kiss on the cheek.

" Monika... what are you doing?" I stammered out, weakened by the pain.

" The world you loved is now destroyed because of me. The machine that allowed my love to reach you destroyed the world you loved. I may not be able to bring that world back, but at least I'll rid you of the memory about us and give yoh your second chance to rebuild the world." She hugged me tightly but quickly. I tried to stop her, but I saw it. Initiate/WorldRestart, but below it was an exception, my name. Before I could yell out to stop what she is doing, my consciousness was ripped away and I felt myself falling down into an abyss once more. But I managed to fight the command, even for just a few moments, I just need to tell her something.

" I'll save you Monika! And everyone! I'll find a way, and we'll be together again! So... Wait for me!" Before I slipped into a deep sleep, I heard her say something.

" I'll be waiting, my love. So don't forget me." Tears were streaming down her face yet she smiled. I wanted to hug her but I finally slipped into a deep sleep.

I woke up in a white space devoid of any life. I... don't remember anything, not even my name or age. But I do remember something, I told someone I'll save them, but who? Ugh... As I stood up, I looked around to see someone sitting and playing with something. I ran up to him and he turned around to greet me.

" Oh! Here you are! Come, walk with me my boy! We have so much to talk about." He had a warm smile on his face, and he gestured for me to stand by his side.

" Who... are you?" I asked timidly. He laughed and placed his hand on my shoulder.

" I go by many names. God, Creator, Allah or some other shit I don't care. But I like to call myself a writer. You know why? Well the man that came before me called himself the painter. Ahaha~ Such a silly reason." He continued to laugh as we walked in a straight direction.

" Look, let me tell you something. You have suffered the fate me and others before me had suffered. We all wanted to save someone, but we have forgotten who it is, so we just watched and watched." He smiled and looked into the distance.

" That was our mistake. We watched to see if the person we are watching would succeed in saving the person they wanted to save, that we failed to see the outcome of being a simple bystander." He sighed and looked at me.

" Now, before I leave you... here. A gift from me to you." He placed a finger on my forehead and suddenly, knowledge flowed trough me. I knelt down due ti the shock of everything.

" Enjoy kid! That is the knowledge of creation! You may not be able to see the future, but at least you can compute for it. But I'm really sorry, that is just knowledge of the universe, not the knowledge of everything." He laughed as I looked at him. He had a confident look on his face.

" Your old life is gone, so you have no use for those memories or the memories of everyone you knew. Now, go and create the universe you desire!" Before he turned around and walk away, I stood up and asked him.

" Who... am I?" He paused for a moment to ponder about it.

" Since you are gonna be creating a universe and is so powerful reality bends to your will, you're like... A KAMI-SAMA!" I looked at him with a confused expression.

" Oh right, the knowledge is still settling into your noggin, okay. A kami-sama is the Japanese for god or creator." He clasped his hands and then warned me.

" There are worlds beyond yours, and if you travel there, you could and will die. Since your code doesn't belong in that universe, it will try to dispel you like a virus." I wanted to clarify on that, but before I could ask... he was gone.

I don't know how long has passed, vut the once empty canvas of white around me became a universe filled with celestial bodies. The knowledge that has been given to me long ago is being used as a basis for this universe. I saw the big bang and the outbreak of World War Two. I have reached the 21st century in this world yet it is still dull and boring for me. I did get hooked on this things called video games, manga and anime, but something within me pulled me on a quest. The promise I made to someone, the promise I'll save them. I looked out into the vast nothingness and tried my best to remember who I wanted to save, but to no avail. I looked back into the world I created and smiled, I think they'll do fine without me. I opened a command console and began my journey to the multiverse.

A really long time has passed and I'm now lost in the different worlds in the multiverse. I have forgotten which of these infinite realities is mine so I just pressed forward. I found out I can only stay a maximum of two weeks in each universe before I am killed due to the universe rejecting my code, but jumping to another one resets my deathtimer. Surprisingly, I still have control over the files of the universe I'm currently in. My mission is simple, find the old universe I once belonged to and try to find out who was the person I wanted to save. I can't believe it, to think I have forgotten the very person I wished to save. I was tired so I decided to take a break in the next universe.

As I looked around, a certain boy caught my eye. I checked to see his backround and history, Sheesh! Lost a parent at a young age, abusive parent, bullied, lost faith in God, yet he is still content with his life. Huh, I watched as he lost a match in this game called Overwatch. I was about to leave him when I saw it, in the backround of his screen, a familiar scene and face greeted him and me. Green eyes, brown hair tied by a big and puffy white bow, and a space room, it seems so familiar to me but I can't put my finger on it. Nah, it can't be, it must've also been created in the other universes, maybe that explains why it's so familiar. Suddenly, I saw within him, a desire to save this girl, and possibly all her firends from this. He wished to bring them to his reality, and this amuses and amazes me.. I remembered what the person I first met in the white space told me, being a bystander is a great mistake. In an effort to both help him and amuse myself, I pulled out my console and gave him a message trough his computer. Thankfully, he noticed.

Hi! You don't know Me or rather, believe in Me, but I want to talk with you.

Hmm, I wonder what I should call myself. God... or... A kami-sama, hmmm. Oh, I know! Akami-sama or Akami! Yeah, that sounds good, or cool, I don't really know. I looked at the boy type his response, excellent, he agreed. If I can't save the person I made a promise to save, then I will dedicate the two remaining weeks of my life to helping this boy save the girl he loves!

The End?
