Chapter 111 : A Simple Life
Scene 1 : Year of Peace
Twelve months have passed, and Aleph Tohu and Zoe have built a peaceful life together. Away from battles, cosmic wars, and grand adventures, he is back to his human state only having a scar on his face showing his battles. They have found solace in a small, cozy cottage nestled within rolling green fields. The sound of birds singing and the soft rustle of the wind in the crops fills the air. Their days are spent farming, working the land, and enjoying the simple joys of life.

Scene 2 : A Moment of Rest
Aleph Tohu stands in the field, guiding a plough through the soil, his muscles flexing with each pull. The sun casts a golden glow over the land, illuminating the rows of crops he has tended with care. As he wipes sweat from his brow, he suddenly feels a gentle embrace from behind—Zoe wraps her arms around him, resting her head against his back.
Zoe: Softly "You work too hard, you know that?"
Aleph Tohu: Smirking "And you always seem to know when to pull me away from it."
He sets the plough down, turning to face her. Without hesitation, he pulls her into a warm embrace, holding her close as they take in the peaceful surroundings. For a moment, there is nothing but the sound of the breeze and the beating of their hearts.
Aleph Tohu: Smiling "Let's take a break."
Zoe: Grinning "I thought you'd never say that."

Scene 3 : Laughter and Love
Sitting beneath the shade of a large tree, Aleph Tohu and Zoe talk about the little things—favorite foods, childhood memories, dreams of the future. Laughter echoes through the fields as they share stories, teasing each other playfully.
Zoe: Laughing "So you're telling me you once planted a whole field of potatoes in the wrong season?"
Aleph Tohu: Chuckling "Hey, I was still learning! Farming isn't as easy as it looks."
Zoe: Teasing "I bet it's easier when you actually read the planting schedule."
They both laugh, the moment light and free. But then, as the laughter fades, their gazes meet. A sudden silence falls between them. Zoe's deep, thoughtful eyes stare into Aleph Tohu's, and in that moment, something shifts.
Slowly, as if drawn by an unseen force, Aleph Tohu leans in. Zoe meets him halfway, and their lips press together in a slow, passionate kiss. The world around them seems to fade, leaving only the warmth of their embrace. When they finally pull away, they stay close, foreheads touching, their breaths mingling in the evening air.
Aleph Tohu: Softly "I could get used to this."
Zoe: Whispering "Me too."

Scene 4 : A Night of Comfort
As night falls, the stars twinkle above their small cottage. Inside, the warm glow of the fireplace fills the room as Aleph Tohu and Zoe sit together, talking for hours. The simple joys of conversation, laughter, and companionship bring them closer than ever.
Zoe: Resting her head on his shoulder "This… this is perfect."
Aleph Tohu: Gently running his fingers through her hair "Yeah. It really is."
As sleep begins to call them, they wrap themselves in each other's warmth, lying together in peaceful embrace. The worries of the world fade away, replaced by the steady rhythm of their breathing. In the quiet of the night, in their small cottage, in the life they have built together, they find something truly precious—love, peace, and eternity.
Narrator:
And so, in the quiet of the countryside, amidst the golden fields and the whispering wind, Aleph Tohu and Zoe found something that many seek but few truly grasp—a simple life. It was not forged through cosmic battles or divine trials, nor was it etched in the annals of legend. Instead, it existed in the gentle embrace of the morning sun, the laughter beneath an old tree, the warmth of a lover's touch as night fell.
For warriors who once shaped the fate of galaxies, who stood against the tides of fate and destiny itself, it was not power or conquest that brought them fulfillment, but the quiet moments in between. A life where the hardest battle was tending the soil, where the grandest adventure was sharing stories by the fire, where eternity was not measured in victories but in the presence of the one they cherished most.
The world beyond their home still moved, time still flowed, and the stars above still burned with the echoes of history. But here, in this place, in this fleeting yet infinite moment, they had all they needed.
For some, peace is an ending. But for Aleph Tohu and Zoe, it was the beginning of something far greater.
