Chapter 2
"Welcome lucky soul." a figure who looked like a human but with no eyes said.
Another was beside him. The two were all beside the soul essence that just entered through the Soul Gate.
"Welcome. This is the void aurora, the space where reincarnated and forged souls come to enter the soul realm." the first said to the soul, his voice mature.
Both figures looked like boys with no eyes and scattered hair .
"Here, your soul will be transformed into a celestial . Afterwards, you will be granted power and your class will be revealed. Then, you will emerge to the Soul Realm." the second said, his voice calm and warming.
Nothing really happened at the void aurora, it was a dark space filled with shades of beautiful colours. No one felt anything.
The first moved forward . It seemed he didn't walk. He levitated in front of the soul.
"Let's go. You have to pass through the portals to get to the realm of the celestials."
"Come with us. Oh don't be scared. We are the gatekeepers of the void aurora."
"Who...who are they?" the soul thought.
Perhaps the soul heard and understood the words of the gatekeepers and he also moved with them to the first portal.
The first portal was connected by three pillars and within it was circulating wind.
"Go ahead," the second said politely.
The soul passed through it. It transformed.
It became a handsome teenager in a simple ash T-shirt and a dark knicker. Its skin was smooth. Its hair was silky and white with blue tints above. Its hair didn't fall. Strangely his hair was raised up in a handsome way. But a dark small headband laid below it.
His eyes were white to almost very light green with translucent sparkling little diamond stars at the right corner of each eye. He had a classic pointed nose.
Its body was beautiful. It took the shape of a dreamy sixteen year old boy. Its feet were left bare but they were beautifully refined.
The gatekeepers had no eyes. But the sound of an object passing through the circulating wind told them the soul had passed through the portal.
"I can see... Where am I?" the new boy thought.
"Good. Now to the next one" the first announced.
All three levitated forward to the next portal.
It has the same structure but the colors seem to switch from black and white .
Finally when the boy reached the portal, it turned white. On the horizontal pillar, it wrote.
Sorcery ...
The boy passed through the portal.
As soon as he passed through the second portal, he was dressed in white straight hoodie that had zip and pants with two white tracks on both sides of it. His feet were covered in classic shoes.
The boy looked at his arms and legs and thought.
"Where did these clothes come from?" the soul wondered?
As usual, the gatekeepers knew the voice to hear when a soul passed through a portal.
"Now to the last one." the first gatekeeper said.
They all moved forward to the last portal.
The third portal also switched colours but the colors were silver, copper and gold .
But something shocking happened when the boy stood in front of it.
The portal turned void again.
The boy passed through the third portal and on the horizontal pillar read.
God Sorcery...

Immediately after, the void aurora vanished and a new space emerged around three.
The space seemed to have had four large eyes at the four corners with lines bisecting the half of each. It was dark with other colored auroras but the eyes were the corner of the space. It was infinite.
The visuals of the eyes were the same as the boy's beautiful eyes.
The three were left in the middle of the never ending space.
Then something enlightened from the boy's chest.
The boy watched his chest where the light had brightened.
"What is this?" the boy thought.
It was a bright round core that got out from his chest gently forward and levitated upward.
After reaching above the three,a voice spoke from the core.
"Congratulations Hiroshi Genma, you are now officially a celestial."
Genma took the hood down with both hands and spoke.
"A celestial, what's that?"
"Before I continue, there are a few things you have to know about the soul realm."
"The Soul Realm is a vast reincarnation dimensional zone for souls. These are categorized into three types…"
"These souls include ; Archived souls — souls that accomplished a purpose before existing life — Lost souls — souls who did not complete any purpose in life — Forged souls — souls who have never lived and directly pass through the soul gate."
"As you saw, souls must pass through three portals to get the Soul Realm. These portals give the soul a body, a power and its class. Once a soul passes through all three, it is considered a celestial"
"In the Soul Realm, there are three worlds namely, Paradise, Asteria and Chyros. Mostly, souls start at Paradise but some archived souls move to Asteria as a reward"
"Before you head to the Soul Realm, you Hiroshi Genma , let me make it clear that you are a lost soul"
Genma looked and listened at the core without blinking.
"Oh so this one is a lost soul" the first gatekeeper thought.
"Also, your power is sorcery and your class…is God type"
The mouths of the gatekeepers widened and shut down after shaking their heads and they thought.
"God type… that's …"
"God type. But there is no such class and … he's a lost soul."
"I thought Lost souls only end at basic sorcery, and this celestial is a lost soul with God type."
"Some laws guard the Soul Realm. The first is, every soul has a purpose. If a celestial or a soul completes a purpose, it is granted a core portal to the next world, from Paradise to Asteria to Chyros"
"The last thing I will add is that you have all the three types of Soul pressures including… soul compulsion — the pressure on enemies to succumb to attacks — soul intimidation — the pressure to instill fear onto your enemy — soul influence — the pressure to influence the environment and your opponent into your own dome"
The two gatekeepers couldn't keep their mouths closed because in thousands of years they have never seen a lost soul this powerful.
"HUHHHH. THIS GUY HAS ALL SOUL PRESSURES AND HE'S A LOST SOUL" thought the first.
The second looked at him and thought
"THE AURA HE'S GIVING OFF TOO IS ABSOLUTE. THIS GUY IS NO ORDINARY CELESTIAL"
"Speaking of soul influence, you are currently in your dome. Your eyes are Celestial eyes called Gemini. There are others but they are rare with their capabilities. This is your dome"
"THIS IS HIS DOME…"
"IT'S SO WIDE… DOES IT HAVE AN END?"
"But before all this power is granted to you, you have to grant yourself an attribute. All sorcerers' limitation is teleportation, meaning, you can't teleport. If you don't choose an attribute you lose the power and live as a normal celestial."
Genma looked down thinking.
"An attribute. But is the power worth having. Yes it is, I have to find Masami and Miyuri so the power is crucial and relevant. But what would my attribute be, hmmmm ... I got it?" Genma reasoned.
He looked up again at the core and spoke.
"My attribute should be Absolute Confidence in everything I do"
"Then it shall be Genma. Off you go."
The core reflected a beam of white light at Genma's chest and glitched into teleportation.
He was teleported to Paradise . He stood on a grass field and in front of him seemed to be an enormous school.
"I guess this is the soul realm then . This must be Paradise, the core said so"
Genma looked up in the blue and white sky that floated happily and he looked around and saw the building.
"What's that? A house, hospital ,school? Wait, I can see. I see everything now."
Gemini was on. Genma could look through buildings, birds and his vision spread infinitely.
Then a thought hit him like a rock . He widened his eyes.
"I have to look for Masami ... And Miyur. They have to be here."
Genma walked toward the school and used Gemini to watch through it.
He saw moving green bodies on corridors, classes, stairs and in offices.
He reached the tall gate, jumped over it with his hands in his pockets and his legs tucked beneath him. He walked forward on the entrance corridor to the revolving door with four panels.
It was his first time seeing one but Absolute Confidence made him walk through with ease.
As he walked in the enchatic compound, his visual appeal attracted unwanted attention.
Every student stared at him and the school buzzed about how Genma looked.
"Wow . Who's that" one girl asked
"He's so dreamy." another girl murmured.
"Is he in the Academy? a boy whispered.
"What a beautiful boy." another murmured.
"His eyes are so beautiful." a girl stated.
Boys and girls gathered and whispered to each other, watching Genma. Boys sat on railings to watch him and girls got stuck on stairs watching Genma.
All the chattering drew Genma's attention to the students.
He looked into all their eyes with Gemini and they also watched his.
A blue green soundwave hit the students. They were stuck. They couldn't move.
They were trapped in Gemini's soul loop cage. And some wondered.
"Where am I. I just looked into the new guy's eyes and am trapped? One student said stuck in Gemini's sight"
Then a figure ran through alleys and pathways of the school crazily.His footsteps exploded across the school and his wind hit other students hard. His hair was green to dark and in a green to dark Lacoste and trousers with classic shoes.
Quickly he reached the corridor where the students were stuck in Gemini.
