Getting Invited to Heaven

I stared at the majestic piece of technology lying before my eyes.

Yes, an elevator door standing by itself in the middle of nowhere, with nothing connecting it above! Curious, I tried to circle around it, but when looking from behind, it seemingly didn't exist.

[What are you doing, human?]

As I was going back and forth curiously, Azrael couldn't help but tilt his head in confusion. Even I was confused, though.

"Why an elevator? Isn't it supposed to be stairs?"

[Ahh...]

When he heard my serious question, a faint smile appeared on his face.

[At first, it was stairs, as you said. However, climbing up millions of steps just to reach heaven was found to be too bothersome. So, we switched the method to something simpler: the elevator.]
