It seemed to be the faint memory of when I was a human.

Apparently, I seemed to have been an orphan.

I went to a place called school regularly and was foolish...

Before I noticed, I was reduced to a fool who ruled over other people through violence.

As a result, I was stabbed to death by an opponent in a dispute.

By a common story, I think it was an appropriate end for me.

And so my life ended...I didn't know if it exist or not, but I was going to the afterlife, or I should have――

When I woke up, I was drifting in a place I didn't really know.

It was a world of full darkness, but strangely enough, things could be seen clearly.

I didn't feel hunger, and there was no such thing as pain and suffering.

I was a merely a drifting existence.

When I looked at my surroundings, I sensed similar drifting existences like me.

I wondered if those fellows had similar memories.

I didn't mind anything about my previous life and just drifted for a long time without doing anything.

In order to distract myself from boredom, I focused my consciousness onto the drifting existence that was similar to me.

From the bottom of my body, I could feel a power gushing forth.

I seemed to be exists as a mass of energy.

As in this darkness full of saturated energy, energy that overflowed from my body might not leak out.

How could I explain it so that it's easy to understand?

I couldn't explain it well because I didn't have the knowledge, but it was like crystallized sugar inside sugared water, I think that our existences were like that.

I was able to understand the usage of that energy unconsciously.

I could move in the direction I turned my focus on, without any sound.

I called out to the other consciousnesses.

However, there was no response.

The other party didn't have something that could be call a consciousness. It seemed to be a lump of power that merely existed.

It broke and scattered when I hit it because it was uninteresting.

It was a bit interesting, I remember having thought that.

After that, for a quite while, I spent my daily life searching for the drifting existences similar to me and destroyed them one by one.

The spectacle was clear to see as if it was daytime, despite the fact that light didn't shine inside the darkness.

I got used to such world, besides there was nothing else I could do, and so I kept doing the same thing every day.

Then a change came upon such a life.

I met a strange fellow.

「Yo, brother. Don't be so rough. Rampaging too much is boring too, you know?」

That fellow was different from the fellows without Will, he could speak in words.

I was surprised, and stared at that fellow without saying anything.

Words, well they weren't actually words, it could be understood to be Telepathy (Thought Communication)[1].

However, I didn't even know that there was a person with Will at that time.
