The tweet.
Wooshs.
I could hear the wind and birds singing around me. I opened my eyes and found that I was lying on the grass.
Rigel tried to sit on the spot and as he sat down, his head was hit by an inexplicable pain.
"Araghh! My head hurts a lot."
Rigek muttered.
My memories are garbled, I can only remember a few things like I entered the hell labyrinth in order to retrieve the keys of the four hell labyrinth princes and regain my memories.
I still remember that I was a hero and since my friend betrayed me, I had to die and meet that person then undergo this training to become strong.
I can also vividly remember said the man whose face was faint in my memory. The man told me some things about the hell labyrinth and gave me a warning.
I looked around and I found something that surprised me.
"A-was I really in the Hell's labyrinth?"
Rigel muttered in surprise.
Right now I was in the middle of a green meadow and decorated with flowers growing around.
I doubted my vision and rubbed it several times and pinched my cheek if I was dreaming right now.
This isn't a dream, this place is more like heaven than the hell labyrinth. I started to remember what the man said.
About the Labyrinth Hell is not a place of torture and full of fire as I imagined. And also the man warned me that,
This place is a place filled with demons and many souls filled with deception, there are only a lot of black spots in this place.
I don't understand what he means by black spots, but I will remain wary of souls and demons filled with gimmicks.
While I was busy deciphering the meaning of that person's warning, I didn't realize that there was anyone other than me here.
"Anu, excuse me did you just get here?"
I looked at the sound. Next to me was a girl with brown hair who was carrying a bouquet of flowers in her bed.
Judging from the girl's clothes, she looked like a village girl.
However, just because she's a pretty country girl, I shouldn't let my guard down because anyway, this is still a hellish labyrinth.
I'll ask him a few things to extract information from him.
"What do you mean just got here?"
Ask Rigel.
The girl scratched her cheek and said.
"Well, since you don't wear anything to cover your body, so I thought you were the soul that just came here."
Say the girl.
I had absolutely no idea what the girl meant and yet, The girl occasionally glanced towards my crotch, her face slightly red.
I looked towards my body, and realized that at the moment I was not wearing anything that covered my body, I was completely naked.
If I were still on EarthLand, I might have been labeled a pervert.
I was so busy sorting through the information in my messy head, until I didn't realize that my body was naked, damn it!
I immediately bent my knees and hugged her to cover my body and my face that was flushed with embarrassment.
"A-anu, can you give me something to cover my body?"
I said embarrassedly and glanced at the girl. The girl laughed cheerfully and brought me a dress for me to wear.
"Thank you, thanks to you I'm not labeled a pervert."
Rigel.
I've been wearing the clothes that the girl gave me. Although the size is a little larger, but this clothing can make me move freely.
"Same, fortunately not many people come here. Ah, you can call me Dandan."
Dandan.
"Call me Rigel. By the way, what do you mean by the soul that just arrived here? Are there a lot of people who come here and are naked like me?"
Ask Rigel.
"Yes, but there aren't many souls who always come here. Sometimes in one year, there are only about 100 people who come to this place."
"100 people a year? Isn't that too little, what kind of place is this?"
My toot.
I deliberately acted as if I didn't know anything about this place to pry for more information,
"Well, it's kind of hard to explain. How about you come to my house? We'll talk about it over tea, how about it?"
I just nodded in response and followed Dandan to his house.
***
I have arrived at home and, the house is not large and just looks like a normal house in general.
I didn't expect there to be a city and a lot of people in this Hell's labyrinth. In the middle of the city, there was a huge stone pillar that seemed to connect the city with the sky.
I was reminded of an anime that tells the story of a young man who was trapped in a game and required to complete 100 floors if he wanted to get out of that game.
I feel like the main character in the anime. I have to finish 100 floors in no later than 90 years.
I wonder whether or not I will grow old in this labyrinth. Well, I'm going to extract a lot of information from Dandan.
Dandan led me into his house. I looked inside, there was nothing special in the house other than a few vases and some wall hangings.
It seems that Dandan lives alone in this house.
"Please make yourself comfortable, I'll make you tea."
Said Dandan with a smile.
"Ah, don't bother."
Rigel.
It didn't take long for Dandan to return to the room I was in. She brought two pretty cups and a teapot filled with tea.
"Please drink, I'm sorry if this tea doesn't taste soft because it's just cheap tea."
Said Dandan regretfully.
"Ah, it's okay. Whether high or low quality, leaves are still leaves they have the same taste for me."
I said as I scratched my elongated hair.
To me, they were just dried leaves boiled and mixed with sugar to sweeten the taste. I don't know why there are so many people who can distinguish the taste and quality of the leaves.
"Ahaha, well, I also actually don't really understand the difference from them" he said and he continued.
"Although I know this sounds disrespectful but I want to ask you this, Rigel. What happened to your left hand and left eye? Earlier I also saw burns on your body."
Dandan asked.
I raised my head to stare at the dusty sky while trying to remember the reason I lost my eyes and left hand.
As hard as I thought, I can't remember.
"I honestly can't remember it. My memory is a bit fuzzy, all I remember is my name and I work as an adventurer, the rest I don't know."
Rigel.
Dandan nodded as if he understood something, even though I did not answer the question directly.
I'm sure he must have thought that I lost my left hand and my left eye to a monster. Well, to be honest I don't even remember it, it's honesty.
But about me remembering only my name and job, it was a lie.
"Then, will you explain to me what this place is?"
Ask Rigel.
"You can probably call it Hell or Heaven or even a combination of the two. This place is a place for souls who cannot enter heaven or hell."
I sharpened my gaze to Dandan.
"What do you mean?"
I don't understand why there are souls who can't enter heaven or hell? Supposedly after the living creatures die, they will be immediately determined Will go to hell or to heaven.
If the creature has a more serious sin, then he will go to Hell. On the contrary, if you have more good deeds, you will go to heaven.
However, I do not know if there is a soul that cannot enter both. Dandan began to continue his story.
"As you know, every living thing that dies should have been determined whether they go to heaven or hell. However, there are some cases where the soul cannot enter both.
I also do not know the reason why there are souls who do not daoat enter both gates. But I assumed it might be because your sin and kindness were balanced and you were thrown here."
I nodded silently silently. Even though it was just an assumption, it was quite reasonable since there were very few possibilities to think about and the fact that only a few souls came to this place.
Dandan continued his explanation of this labyrinth and sometimes I asked him a few questions.
According to the story from Dandan, aging will not occur here because the people who come here do not have a physical body but still allow for intercourse.
Although it is still possible to have sex, women cannot conceive a child.
Dandan also told some other useless things namub he never told me which part of hell in this place and also about the meaning of each floor there.
Since it was getting dark, I decided not to ask about the level of the floor and spent the night at Dandan's house.
