- Chapter 4 -
When he heard the name of the creature.
At first he only thought that this was just an illusion or could be said to be a hallucination of his own spirit after death.. But it is undeniable that everything he sees is real and Unreal from all aspects..
Seeing the surroundings as if mixed up like an abstract space that cannot be explained.
Hearing the answer from the creature, who answered Yun Sen's previous question.
[ I Am Azathoth. ]
Making Yun Sen a little confused how a creature of this size could he meet in a place that could be regarded as his dream room or abstract room.
the question in him made him even more curious further about something in front of him.. So Yun Sen tried to get close to the creature..
However, Yun Sen was unable to approach him, as if there was an illusion that limited the surrounding laws.
Seeing that he could not approach the creature or Azathoth. Made Yun Sen frown slightly.
"Heyy !! why can't I get close to you?" Yun Sen asked.
"..."
"...."
"....."
It waited for a while, but the creature did not answer Yun Sen's question, as if he did not hear what Yun Sen said and uttered.
"....."
"...."
"....."
Only a small gesture of himself was seen by Yun Sen, but he didn't answer Yun Sen's question at all.
"Hey !, are you dumb?, So that you can not speak?"
"If you can't speak, how do I communicate with you?" Yun Sen asked.
Hearing what Yun Sen said about him not being able to speak or communicate made Azathoth a little emotional about what Yun Sen said.
Like he was taunted by a small creature that he didn't deserve to see, but for this time Azathoth didn't give any impact on the surroundings even though he was a little emotional about what Yun Sen said.
Azathoth knew from the beginning that Yun Sen would say that. However, Azathoth remained silent in the face of Yun Sen.
He didn't say anything to Yun Sen.
The two stared at each other from a distance.
Yun Sen thought of something, that he wanted to approach that existence, so he tried again to approach it.
While walking towards the creature, Yun Sen saw that he could get closer to the creature.
Like the previous illusion already did not affect Yun Sen.
Seeing Yun Sen approaching her made Azathoth also confused. How is Yun Sen who is just an ordinary human himself where even his own presence makes the Dream Room unable to accommodate him.
But Yun Sen who is an ordinary human teenager. Although Azathoth himself felt a little confused, he did not avoid Yun Sen, but he just kept silent as before.
After a while Yun Sen walked over to him, Yun Sen felt a little taken aback for a while and then he looked up.
He saw The Shape of Azathoth from bottom to top that could not be seen from Yun Sen's eyes.
However, after a while Yun Sen returned as usual. for a moment he was silent to see Azathoth's body in front of him.
Seeing the creature in front of him made Yun Sen want to hold Azathoth's body, but he thought back.
"Why should I hold his body, when I see it for the first time? I don't even know who this person is for some reason." Yun Sen asked himself.
after some time of thinking, Yun Sen decided that he did not touch the creature's body. He tried to communicate with the creature.
But before he spoke, Yun Sen retreated back some distance, before he asked again.
Seeing Yun Sen who was away from him, Azathoth himself already knew what Yun Sen would do so he just kept silent while staring at Yun Sen away.
"I think this distance is enough to communicate with him. Let's try.." Yun Sen said to herself.
Then after that Yun Sen shouted quite loudly to Azathoth.
"HEYYYY..!!! CAN YOU HEAR ME?."shouted Yun Sen.
Hearing and seeing what Yun Sen was doing, Azathoth only fell silent but after a while he answered Yun Sen's shouted.
"Yes...."
Seeing that his shout got an answer, Yun Sen started questioning about who he was.
"HEYYY!!, WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT??"Yell Yun Sen back.
Shortly after that Azathoth answered Yunsen.
[I Am Azathoth. ] Answer the creature.
"Azathoth?".
Listen to the creature's response. Making Yun Sen even more curious because he doesn't remember that he ever met Azathoth in the real world.
Then Yun Sen asked again.
"What are you?". Yun Sen asked but without a shout like before.
Hear Yun Sen's question. Azathoth Answered.
"I am.."
[ Existence.... ]
Hearing that answer Yun Sen became confused but, at least he already knew the name of the creature so he was also too lazy to browse further.
For a while later. They were silent to each other.
Not communicating or doing anything, but just being silent. And Yun Sen just sat there.
Then some time passed, as if they had been silent for a long time.
They just stared at each other without any interaction.
Then a few moments after that, Azathoth made a voice.
When Azathoth wanted to speak, Yun Sen felt a little surprised and went back to normal, because they had been staring at each other for a long time and there was no communication at all, but just kept silent, and at this time Azathoth sounded as if she wanted to say something.
Then shortly after.
"Blurrrpppppp..."
The Voice of Azathoth.
It sounded like someone was burping after eating a lot.
Hear the voice coming from Azathoth.. It annoyed Yunsen.
"Hey.. You were just farting, or talking..?"say Yun Sen with a flat tone.
"BLURRRRPPPPPP..."
Hearing the same answer from Azathoth made Yun Sen even more emotional.
"HEYY ! Sir ! CAN YOU MAKE A REASONABLE VOICE??!!"Shouted Yun Sen.
however, instead of responding to Yun Sen's cry, Azathoth just kept silent as before while staring at Yun Sen.
Looking at Azathoth who just fell silent..Yun Sen could only sigh facing him.
"*Sigh..."
"I don't even know how to communicate with you in a normal way..*sigh..."
Ucao Yun Sen to Azathoth.
Looking at Yun Sen who was a little sad, Azathoth just kept silent but for some reason she felt a little happy and sad at the same time.
Then Azathoth spoke again.
Hearing that, Yun Sen already didn't bother and didn't care too much about the next one because he himself was too lazy to think about it.
"You.."
"How you can be here..?"
Azathoth Asked.
Seeing and hearing what Azathoth asked, made Yun Sen confused, because he thought that his previous self was in torment Without End, beginning, and end
Then Azathoth's question made Yun Sen ponder for a moment.
Then Yun Sen explained what he had done before.
"I was already dead, but somehow I suddenly found myself in this place as if I myself had been brought here. I didn't know I was going to a place like this."
"And of course I don't know about you either, so I called and asked who you were. and what you are."
About one of Yun Sen's explanations was that, before he wanted to sleep.
Listen to the explanation Yun Sen said. Making Azathoth himself even more confused.. How could his peak existence self meet a human like Yun Sen.
This made Azathoth also feel some strangeness but in response to Yun Sen's explanation, he just kept silent.
Looking at the pensive Azathoth, Yun Sen thought that he was lonely so less sociable.
Therefore for some reason Yun Sen was thinking whether he could be friends with him.
Because Yun Sen himself did not interact much with strangers during his life except the people he knew and loved.. at least before they do that...
Yun Sen also thinks that having new friends like this will not disturb the peace of his life now that he is living. Therefore. Yun Sen thought to befriend Azathoth.
On the other hand, where Azathoth is still silent because he is confused about how a human can enter one of his dreams, he is a little surprised. Because so far and as long as he lives there is no scope of human existence that is able to enter into his dreams or even find out about him.
Therefore when you want to talk.. Yun Sen already said something.
"Hey Azathoth, can I call you aza?"asked Yun Sen to Azathoth.
Hearing Yun Sen's silly question, Azathoth just remained silent as if to say yes to Yun Sen's words.
"Good then.. Then how about we be friends?" Yun Sen asked suddenly.
For some reason even though Yun Sen himself had experienced things that cannot be described in words while he was alive, but it was only while he was alive that Yun Sen was dead.. You could say he's a little lonely..
And also in the previous period of torture that made Yun Sen himself almost crazy..
Hearing this increasingly ridiculous question, made Azathoth a little upset to Yun Sen.
Put aside how Yun Sen was able to meet him, even at this time Yun Sen wanted to be friends with Azathoth?.
After a moment of silence, Yun Sen thought that the question had a rejected answer. but after that Azathoth spoke but did not hear clearly.
Vaguely sounded like.
"If it is like that, then it happens like that."Azathoth replied to Yun Sen.
Yun Sen who thought that the question would be rejected but now that he heard that he got permission made himself a little surprised.
Azathoth himself felt that Yun Sen was a weak and small creature who did not know anything, therefore, this was also not a problem for himself.
For himself, he still thinks that there is something strange about Yun Sen, but just like Yun Sen. He was also very too lazy to think about the reasons.
Therefore he just responded as usual as he did.
