The Author's POV

Chapter 728

It was white.

My vision was white.

It remained like that for quite a while. I wasn't sure for how long, though. Time seemed inconsequential at the moment as I basked in a strange warmth.

It enveloped every part of my body, pouring into me and tickling every part of me.

…It felt oddly good.

The feeling didn't last for long. Soon, my vision warped and my senses started to return.

It wasn't long before I felt something bump against me and I heard the sound of engines roaring in the distance.

"What are you doing, asshole?"

"Huh?"

When I turned around to look around me, I was taken aback to find that I was standing in the middle of a crosswalk. People moved past me with annoyed and threatening looks.

"What are you standing there like an idiot? Move the fuck away."

I was pushed once again.

When I turned to look, I saw a young girl glaring at me before she disappeared into the crowd.

After frowning for a while, I ultimately made the decision to cross over to the other side of the road. Even though I wasn't entirely clear on the reason why I was standing in the middle of the road, I should know better than to just remain standing there.

After making it to the end of the road without incident, I stopped for a second to take a look at my surroundings.

'What's going on?'

Everything looked and felt so…

Different.

"Is it just me?"

I could see children running around with happy expressions on their faces, and adults walking alongside them with smiles plastered on their faces as they went about their business.

It was as though the war that they'd just gone through had never happened.

'Are they that happy that the war is over?'

The scenery wasn't bad. I quite liked it. It was quite peaceful, and unknowingly, I cracked a smile.

"Kevin did a good job."

All that I was seeing was thanks to his sacrifice.

My smile slowly receded as I thought about him.

'If only he was sti-'

"hm?"

Realizing something, I looked up at the sky, and a curse slipped past my mouth.

"The fuck?"

I gave it a few blinks to make sure my eyes weren't playing tricks on me. Confirming that I was indeed seeing correctly, I lowered my head and glanced at the air around me.
