HEAVEN?

A few moments later

I woke up. But looking around was shrouded in white clouds. I tried to pick up the cloud. It feels rubbery and then disappears into the water.

Where is this?

I was so surprised by this place—a place I'd never seen before. I tried to get up to see more clearly. And as far as the eye could see, only a vast expanse was covered by clouds.

Could it be that I…?

"Goddess …"

While in doubt, I heard the voice of someone calling out to the Goddess. I looked back to see if there was a Goddess the voice meant.

"There's no one." I'm getting more and more confused.

"You are the Goddess."

Suddenly, an older man in a white robe with white hair came from behind the clouds. Immediately I became afraid of myself.

"Don't be afraid, Goddess. I am the guardian of the hill of the heavenly tree."

Hah? What?!
