Mysterious Hell
In the spiritual realm after death, folklore tells of seven ominous gates appearing before the departing soul. Each gate leads to different levels of hell, filled with suffering and torment. Religious stories say that going through these gates means traveling through nine circles of intense punishment, each layer reflecting the gravity of one's sins and the harsh trials that await.
The relentless torment, burning pain, and complex layers of damnation create a picture of divine judgment, showing the consequences of one's actions. Yet, within these trials, there is a hint of hope. Absolution might await, cleansing the soul of its sins and offering a chance for redemption beyond what we can understand.
In religions that believe in karma and the afterlife, punishment goes beyond just being in hell. It is linked to the negative karma one gathers throughout their life. Human life is seen as a precious chance given to people to make choices within their fate. Even with hard truths and tricky paths, people have the power to shape their own lives.
Overcoming these challenges is key to creating a desired life, with no outside help possible. The great luck of having a human life highlights the importance of this chance for spiritual growth and progress.
In religious beliefs, it is often thought that actions driven by greed or wrongdoing, even towards animals, can weigh down the soul. It's said that such actions can lead to extreme experiences: suffering from intense heat as a consequence for their misdeeds and enduring bitter cold as a reflection of the pain they've caused others. Despite these trials, they continue to exist, carrying the burden of the emotional turmoil caused by their betrayals and the suffering they inflicted on others.
Across many lifetimes, the cycle of reincarnation continues, giving the soul endless chances for rebirth. But because many souls pass through different realms, there is a quick flow into the realm of suffering. Here, every wrongdoing by individuals will be met with fair consequences, ensuring each soul faces the results of their actions.
In an era when humanity was less burdened by extreme emotions, only a scant few souls returned to the depth of hell. As time unfolded, humans gained the capacity for both virtuous and malevolent deeds, yet loopholes persist due to the constraints imposed by heaven and earth. Thus, not all souls find their destined path back to hell for reasons unknown. To rectify this, a designated envoy, chosen for their expertise, was dispatched in adherence to the dictum of hell-a law that governs these matters. This dictum commands the qualified agents to traverse diverse planes in pursuit of those who perpetrate evil. Contrary to human perception, the judge overseeing these affairs lacks a name, much like all denizens of hell. Names elude the entirety of the infernal realm's inhabitants.
In many realms, beings called each other by numbered codes, similar to how people have names on Earth. Among this vast cosmic expanse, numerous realms resembled Earth in their chaos. The idea of hell's existence filled all rational beings with fear, even though they didn't know exactly where it was. This widespread knowledge of hell's existence hung over the thoughts of all living beings, crossing boundaries of what is known and unknown, surrounding the entity with an aura of deep fear.
In spiritual beliefs, hell is seen as a real place where all beings, including humans, go through reincarnation. While people debate the existence of God, everyone agrees that hell exists, sparking many theories. Despite these theories, we still don't fully understand what hell is like, how long it lasts, or how it continues to exist.
The innocence seen in a newborn baby reflects how souls are mirrored in reincarnation. When a baby is born, its soul's memory and essence are cleansed, like starting anew before entering the cycle of reincarnation. This fresh start is a spiritual rebirth without the weight of past experiences or memories. However, people who carry burdens from their past lives cannot avoid facing their consequences in future lives. Some aspects of life are meant to be experienced rather than seen as punishments. These ongoing challenges and unresolved issues persist across lifetimes, pushing individuals to confront and navigate them as important parts of their journey, not just punishments.
In the fifth level of hell, there is an eerie quietness that contrasts with the chaos within. Sinners in murky swamps struggle endlessly against relentless soldiers. Their screams echo through the desolation, lost in thick darkness. Only the realm's agents can see this haunting abyss. As he saw the approaching soldiers, primal fear gripped his soul, urging him to run. Despite trying to escape, he couldn't, and quickly felt the soldiers' crushing weight again. His cries echoed as he endured torment that seemed endless. His form kept reforming, only to be crushed again by the soldiers with relentless speed, making it impossible to count the cycles of suffering.
Near the murky depths of the swamp, a solitary figure stood amidst the chaos, unperturbed by the surrounding torment. His countenance was strikingly peculiar, marked by eyes of deep crimson that seemed to pierce through the darkness. His visage held a captivating yet eerie allure, blending beauty with an unsettling aura of dread. He bore the appearance of a fallen deity, embodying both greatness and a haunting sense of mortality.
The A4A822 Dead God summoned the man whose anguished screams filled the desolate swamps. This tormented soul, once a soldier, carried a heavy burden—he had killed his own wife. He falsely accused an innocent person and subjected his daughter to cruelty before giving her to lustful soldiers. Before coming to this realm, he caused chaos by bombing thousands from another human planet, similar to Earth. But here in this hellish place, such sins bring severe consequences, as taking a life leads to the destruction of one's soul. He will endure relentless torment and excruciating trials until his soul is completely shattered, destined for eternal oblivion.
Regardless of how small an action is, any wrongdoing is considered a sin. Humans, with their ability to think rationally, bear greater responsibility for their actions compared to other creatures. Apologies, though meaningful, may not absolve one of their sins, especially in spiritual contexts like facing consequences in a place such as hell where forgiveness isn't granted. According to the concept of karma, each person will face the outcomes, whether positive or negative, of their actions.
A4A822, a celestial being, approached a mysterious door that appeared suddenly. In an instant, he found himself in a simple apartment, inhabiting the body of a young soul recently departed for reincarnation. Given a divine task, he must guide all trapped souls in the city of Anang to their rightful destination before a set time. The weight of this spiritual duty rests heavily on his shoulders as the clock ticks toward judgment.
The young boy named Zerin was a dedicated student at Anang's secondary school. In this world, technology wasn't as advanced as Earth's, but it wasn't lacking entirely either. A4A822 carefully copied Zerin's traits and daily routine with great attention to detail. Zerin had always wanted to attend Anang school, and the shift made him very happy. However, he never got the chance to step foot inside. This might seem disappointing, but in a way, it was fortunate because Anang school had a mysterious reputation for engulfing many students.
Getting ready for school that day, A4A822 prepared a hearty breakfast before heading out.
Clad in the innocence of youth, he wore a gentle smile as he confidently approached the bus stop. His demeanor exuded kindness and polished manners. The previous owner's life had been remarkably uncomplicated- centered around the basic rhythm of eating, sleeping, and attending school.
As Zerin boarded the bus and passed through the gates, many wandering souls appeared. Some hurried around, and a few even got on the bus. Their presence made the living uneasy, even though most people couldn't see them. However, everyone could feel the strange change in the air caused by their powerful presence.
Realizing the situation, A4A822 quickly began his task, guiding these souls towards the entrance to hell where they would face judgment. Hell exists beyond our world, encompassing everything—skies, land, air, and water. No soul escapes this cosmic balance because every human has the potential for both kindness and cruelty in their hearts.
Sometimes, deep regret or a full understanding of life can purify a soul, allowing it to be reincarnated directly. However, these cases are extremely rare—like one in a million. Genuine understanding like this is hardly ever achieved.
A4A822 decided that the task should begin at the school. Anang school has been a center of attention for many years due to several alarming incidents. The rate of student deaths at this school is surprisingly high, and this trend started about ten years ago. In the last five years, the seriousness of the situation has become more noticeable, especially among students who have recently transferred there.
As the bus stopped at the school gate, Zerin confidently stepped off and headed towards the school building located in the city center. Despite its damaged reputation, the school still had an impressive appearance, looking almost new and richly furnished. Zerin didn't think much about where the money came from, as it wasn't his concern. Upon arriving, he went straight to the principal's office to officially enroll, then made his way to his assigned classroom.
The principal's face lit up as if he had seen the sun for the first time in five years. A4A822 paused to listen to the principal's kind words that brought happiness even to someone like him at this school. The classroom was exceptionally clean, in stark contrast to conditions in many less privileged schools. The facilities were excellent, exceeding expectations.
When Zerin entered the classroom, silence fell over the fifty students, including the teacher, all eyes on him. The strange calm in the school was obvious, protected by strong magic barriers that kept it empty of any souls or presence. A4A822 could see through this, but he had to wait for the culprit to reveal themselves before he could take action. The unsolved mystery and unanswered questions from the past dead god's attempts led to the task being passed on to him.
Despite the transparent barrier through which he could see countless souls, Zerin calmly took his seat like any other student. Welcomed by the teacher, he introduced himself with a gentle smile, stating he had transferred from Actic secondary school and expressing gratitude for the scholarship that brought him here. "Please take care of me from now on," he humbly requested.
The students seemed friendly and welcoming, showing no signs of dissatisfaction or hostility towards him. During the break between two classes, he walked around the school, carefully observing every corner before returning. The day went smoothly, and he resolved everything within a single day. He's patiently waiting for a specific ghostly figure to appear, though he's not entirely sure it's a ghost. He won't jump to conclusions without solid proof. However, one thing is clear: whoever created the detailed seal in this spiritually weak place is not human.
