7:00 AM, Tuesday, March 18, 2025. Springs, Colorado. I, Jim Loster, awaken in my bed, with a weird headache and are a bit tired. But I get up and do my normal morning routine. Then I go out to work, but when I walk out the door I see,
"Huh?" A Magatama lying on the ground. It feels, familiar...
I then look at the back of it and there are coordinates to a place in the woods. I decide to go there and check this place out. It was a 2-3 hour drive and I was really late for work, but I felt this was more important for some odd reason. As I get there I get out of my car and the forest has tall trees and mountains in the distance. I look to the ground and there's... A trail of Magatama.
"What is this, and why is it here...?" I ask myself as I follow the trail.
When I follow it my headache gets worse, and worse. To where it feels I'll collapse at any moment but I keep going. I walk up a mountain and into a cave... with burning incense. And Japanese armor that shogun wear on a stand.
"..." I poke it a few times as I am confused with why this is here. It seems like a shrine of some kind. And, suddenly, "Ah!" the eyes glow with a bright light and I start to lose consciousness as my breathing becomes slow.
Right before I pass out, "The Face of God..." I mutter and then... I lose consciousness...
Later, I awake in a Japanese Minka. I'm wearing a black and white Kimono with Geta slippers on my feet. I look outside and I'm not in any town, it seems to be the middle of no where. It's warm outside and cherry blossom trees bloom. It's a tad bit windy but the sun is shining and there are little clouds in the sky. The grass is green and well cut. I look inside the house, walking through each of the rooms wondering what is happening, why am I here, an-
その思考,音が大きすぎる.少し,音量を下げてくれ.
I then whip my head around to see a Shogun in full armor with their eyes completely white, "Who the hell are you?!" I yell, "And why can I understand him if I don't know Japanese?" I think to myself.
いや…君の"ナレーション"と言うべきか.
"My narration. What is that supposed to mean." I a-
俺の目を見て話せ,少年!
I... wait what... why do I feel different. I don't feel my physical body... I can't feel my hands but I can move them... What is this...?
まだ"創造"の真実を知らないのか?
W-What do you mean?
くそっ,これでまた厄介なことになりそうだな.
Well will you enlighten me on the truth?
...
Answer me!
異様な身長の男に会ったことがあるか?
Who are you talking abou- wait. I think I have met someone like that.
なるほど…だから君がここにいたのか.
彼はお前に,"勾玉を辿れ"と言ったのか.
I-Yes... he did...
なるほど…どうやら誰かが現実に穴を開け続けているようだな.
Can you just, explain to me what's going on here?
全てを語ることはできぬ.集合的無意識を壊すことは,宇宙の秩序を乱す行為だ.
だが,一つだけ教えよう.職場の宝石に注目するんだ.
Well, before I part can you please tell me what's going on here and why I can't feel my body?!
オムニナレーションを止めて,肉体を手放せ.お前も,無意識の他の存在たちも,自らの意志ではそれができない.現実への信仰が,縛りとなっているのだ.
...
さて,ここでお別れだ.
仮説があなたと共にありますように.
Wait, what...? My mind is slipping once again... We're not done he-
Chapter End!
