Asteri, My Precious Star

At first, a star was nothing but a void. But when the gas and dust in space meet each other, the destiny of the star began to be woven one by one by the three Moirai. As the gas and dust began to pile up, a molecular cloud was created. The cloud consists mainly of hydrogen gas, and some other elements.

Inside the molecular cloud, there is an area of higher density where gravity causes gas and dust to clot. As the blob becomes denser and massive, its gravitational pull becomes stronger, pulling more material towards it.

As the clump of gas and dust continues to contract due to gravity, it forms what is known as a protostar, a young, developing star that is not yet hot enough to undergo nuclear fusion at its core.

During collapse, the material swirling around the protostar forms an accretion disk due to the conservation of angular momentum. The disk continues to feed the growing protostar with more mass.

As the protostar increases in mass from the disk around it, the pressure and temperature in the core increase. Eventually, the core reached a temperature of about 10 million degrees Celsius, initiating nuclear fusion.

The high temperature and pressure in the protostar nucleus trigger nuclear fusion, where hydrogen atoms fuse together to form helium, releasing large amounts of energy in the process. This marks the birth of a main sequence star, a star that combines hydrogen into helium at its core, the most common type of star in the universe.

And after all that complex and elusive process, a star that radiated its bright light between the darkness of outer space was born. Once the star reaches a state of equilibrium between the outgoing pressure of nuclear fusion and the inward force of gravity, it enters a stable phase known as the main sequence, where it will spend most of its lifetime.

He is Asteri, my most precious new star.

****************

Asteri dragged her own body away from me and Ava. There was no time to think about what kind of dimension this was, because Ava and I were both convinced that our real bodies were still in that strange, dark room. Ava and I walked slowly towards Asteri, before stopping suddenly as a flowering grass suddenly appeared in front of us.

“What the fuck is this ?”

“It seems, this boy did that again, but failed.”

As soon as she heard that from me, Ava immediately turned her head towards Asteri while grinning sharply. Looks like something dangerous will happen soon.

“Heh, can't do anything anymore, huh, boy ?”

Although the mask was still not destroyed as well, but I could see a tremendous fear on his face. My guess is true, Ava will do something 'devil' after this. I have to stop him !

“Do not think you can run now, asshole !!”

“Ava, don't beat him, stupid !! He is still a child !!”

“What kids !? This kid has killed a lot of people know ! My mom died because of her !!”

I kept holding his left hand so that he could not walk over to Asteri other than by dragging me along with him. I kept ignoring her sharp and vexed look, which she directed at me. Ava still chuckles, and finally walks while dragging me along with her using her full strength. I can't possibly hold it back with my superpowers. His hands may even be smashed later.

“Pastiin don't hit that head, motherfucker !! Otherwise, your ass will be the victim!!”

“Lu this why the hell, dog !! Bratty killer boy like he does pantes to be beaten, bego !!”

“I'm like this because you've already entered demon mode, motherfucker !! He's it..... Still a kid!!!”

Ava let out a loud frustrated scream. I can even feel his intense mental pressure from here. If only I hadn't held him to death like this, Ava might have beaten Asteri while losing her sanity.

“I know you've got a grudge against this same boy, but we can finish this all right, right!?”

“Done all right how, kimank !? He's not an ordinary killer that can be invited to a lawyer, stupid !! If you also use a lawyer, certainly will not be taken care of because everything is corruption, know !!”

“Why now even talk about corruption, son of a bitch !?”

Completely fucked. Our quarrels were both so great that even the second world war conflict was greatly outmatched by this. At the very least, it gave Asteri time in this ignorant bastard boy to trap the two of us in the other dimension again. Something more horrible, of course.

“Oi, Ava..... This is where ?”

“Do not ask me, stupid !! All because of you, you know !!!”

“Uh...... Hehe.”

I admit, I am the guilty and the most stupid right now. Since I was holding Ava to bomb Asteri's head with that punch, this is where the two of us finally end up now, in a strange dimension that is entirely reddish in color.

“One hot...... It's hell ?”

“It's hell.”

Full of confidence in that answer. But it seems like this is hell. Very-very terrible. In the distance, I saw thousands of humans who were under a mountain slope walking while lifting something like a large sack on their backs. I looked at Ava, and Ava didn't seem to know what was down there either.

“(Sigh) How are you doing again ? We have to go there, don't we?”

“But I got !!!!” I said as I stared at Ava's face with a spoiled face, gluing myself to her left arm. At that instant, Ava looked at me with disdain accompanied by an annoyed sigh, then pushed me backwards in full force. That's..... It's natural for him to do.

“Lu think I'm not afraid, huh !?” yells.

Damn, Ava is really terrible if you're angry like this. I'd better just follow her from behind and be a quiet, kind, obedient friend.

And so. Our journey through what seemed like hell began.

****************

First hell: Mountain slope.

Ava and I had gone down the road to the mountain slope, entering an area with a wooden board bearing the words Mons Clivo, I don't know what that means. As we saw from above, the view here remains the same, only it looks more terrible to see it up close. The humans who were here, just walked westward, lifting up a sack with burning coal in it, and their feet, he said, directly trample the lava rocks as they walked in a direction that seemed aimless at all, and without stopping anyway. I'm..... I can't imagine what they're feeling right now !!

“Ava..... You don't pity them ??”

Ava did not answer. I turned to her, and it turned out that she was closing her eyes at the moment, far less able to bear the sight of their torment than I was.

“Don't ask, stupid.” he replied a moment later, still with his eyes closed.

Second hell: The dining room.

I was forced to walk through the rows of tortured people on top of the lava rock while leading Ava to walk to the next area because she would never open her eyes as long as there was such a terrible thing in front of her. The only place we could enter right now was a building shaped like a red dome, while the other road only looked like a detour. After saying excuse me so many times while passing through those who were tormented and also getting their gazes so sharp, the two of us finally arrived before the door of the dark red dome.

“You can already open your eyes now, Ava.”

“Gak will. I'll pretend to be blind while I'm in this place. I'm sticking to you, Eva.”

“A-what !? Don't make me see everything alone, *****.....”.

Forced, I was really forced to look at all the horror scenes in this place alone. At least, there's still Ava beside me right now, even if she doesn't see everything with me. I opened the dome door, then walked in while holding Ava's hand towards it. Just above the ceiling after the entrance, there was a wooden board that read Festum Daemoniorum. After walking a few steps, we arrived at the main room, which was full of long dining tables and living humans who were on the offerings plate.

The humans on those plates...... Still life. While in the chair section, many strange creatures thrust their forks and knives to tear the bodies of the humans, then eat their flesh just like that !! The screams of pain were everywhere, filling my eardrum and Ava for sure. Ava looked very confused and frightened, and quickly, she immediately hugged my hand that was holding her.

“What's here !? Why is everyone screaming, ****** !!?”

Even though I was being struck by such a terrible fear right now, still, this was the time for me to take revenge on that jerk who did not want to suffer with me right now. Relax, this will only be a small prank, very small and human in my opinion.

“The demons eat humans alive...... And it's all you, Ava.”

“A-....... WHAT !!?”

His eyes were wide open at that very instant, and his screams instantly echoed all the way to the very end of this building. And worse, it was the first thing he saw after opening his eyes. Take it easy, no one looks at us....... Nothing, not at all.....

****************

“Is this your last choice, blue star ?”

Rigel did not answer. He kept walking, leaving the red star behind him, out of what looked like hell. It was the beginning of Rigel's new life as a demon in the human world. All humans know who they really are. He is the destroyer, the murderer, and the bearer of despair. A great war was declared only to fight him. Every time Rigel refrained from killing a human, great torment came upon him.

In the end, he was forced to kill a human who he considered to be a great person. He saw the man as the wisest king, and his decision to pursue Rigel was indeed a good choice. Rigel, give a painless death to the wise king.

All his life, he was only afflicted by eternal, and absolute despair. But it all disappeared instantly as he wandered into the forest, and finally met someone. A woman who is not only beautiful, but also accepts herself as Rigel is an ordinary human being, just like everyone else. Her beautiful golden blond hair, and the gentle smile the woman sees on a daily basis, is what makes Rigel finally able to get out of his dark past. Like gas and dust meeting each other in the void of space, the empty little forest felt alive for a moment when the two of them met and decided to live together. Their destinies began to be woven one by one by the three Moirai, and they were like living on a cloud, as if the whole world was their own.

Rigel just needs that woman to live, and vice versa. The seed of love began to grow between them, and finally one day, the woman fell ill as if pulled by the mighty force of gravity within the molecular cloud. But neither are they sad or crying. They were both happy, because in the woman's womb, a protostar began to form.

After 9 months of waiting, screams of pain were heard so loud that they were almost all over the forest. The protostar, at last, was born into this world, in a silent and silent forest, among the emptiness of space.

Her name is Asteri, the young star who is still naive, not knowing about anything. He just ran around, befriended a lot of wild animals in the forest, and greeted whoever he met in the forest. It lacks the material to trigger nuclear fusion. Asteri was still not hot enough to understand how cruel the world he was currently living in was.

The tree cutter, the embroidery owner, and the friendly chef. The three of them were very close friends with Asteri, but they also killed the naive girl along with her mother. A collapse occurs, creating an accretion disk that eventually triggers nuclear fusion in a new star. The three people said the secret that Asteri had kept all this time, that his father was a demigod. People who heard it immediately came into the forest, burning down the small houses of the Rigel family that have always been harmonious all this time. As soon as Rigel returned home from his job searching for groceries, all he saw was a ruin from his house, which was smashed to the ground by the pull of gravity.

The girl who had no fault or sin during her life, was thrown and dropped into hell for no reason. He was tormented endlessly in the fifth hell, a place where people continued to wriggle on iron rods mounted between steep cliffs, which pierced holes ***** they and finally reappear from their mouth holes that are forced to gap wide for good. Asteri, has a special case, where every day, the red star will always whisper evil things into his ear. The material was getting more and more fulfilled, until finally, a nuclear fusion was formed.

The red star gave him absolute power to turn the clock around the world. Like a bomb that scorches everything around it when it hits land, Asteri kills anyone he encounters in his new world. His great hatred, fear, and trauma, that was the fuel that made him the killer he is today. He hated all men, all those who betrayed him and killed him too. He was willing to be the right hand of the red star to assist him in fulfilling the desire of the ultimate light, the slaughter.

Is that Rigel and Asteri's past ?

****************

“Aw, hurts too...”.

“Already awake, huh !? It's all because of you, motherfucker nn”

Well, that little prank...... I don't know why, but it's like someone injected that vengeful desire into my brain. Absolutely outrageous, doing prank among the demons in hell.

“Don't ask me, asshole !!”

That sentence again. If I try to remember, Ava has said that sentence three times or more probably. Forget about her favorite phrase, Ava and I are in a dark forest. To the left of my front forest, there was a wooden board bearing impalement ad desertum. This time its name is long.

“Oi, Ava. Our hands are chained ?”

“Yup, our hands chained.”

Waw, what kind of bad luck is this ? Already chained to a tree trunk, in another world again.

“So, we die in hell, huh ?”

“Damn it, it's so terrible.”

That is, the two of us just sat quietly waiting for our terrible fate here. But all of a sudden, my brain seemed to be enlightened by something like divine light.

“Wait, don't I have super strength ?”

“(Sigh) Dumbass.”

With my mighty strength, the chains that bound my hands I could break easily, very easily like tearing paper. It turns out that our fate is still not destined to die in a hell like this. Wasn't that a very funny 'chuck' moment ?

“Ava, I came to help you !!!!”

“Quick do it, stupid !!”

“Alright, fine....”.

In short, I freed Ava too, then walked down this forest-shaped hell. And again as usual, Ava closed her eyes, put her whole life in my hands. Allowing his steps, led by me......

Fucking ava !!!!!

In this part of Hell, many iron rods were stuck horizontally between the trees and some in the boulders. The humans here were stabbed like satay, and they were still alive, still fully conscious. If I told Ava about this, she must have passed out, because they were all looking at Ava like she was their own friend.

I don't know until when the journey in this satay man's hell will be completed. From what was originally a forest, it has now turned into high cliffs, and humans are still being stabbed like those in the forest before. Ava's getting bored, just like me.

“Eva, it's already in place laen ?”

“Yup, we've returned to SCR again.”

.......

“Could not.”

Trauma, huh ? It seems like such a prank would be useless now. Damn it, this trip is so much more boring because of you, Ava.

“You're not afraid, huh ?”

“Who is it, anjink !!?” ava exclaimed as hard as she could.

“Don't ask me, motherfucker !!”

Rasain Uno reverse card from me. Speaking of which, Asteri when appearing before me (because Ava did not see him) suddenly. He covered his face only with Hoodie's hood, not using his wooden mask anymore. Is this a sign of the climax ?

“You asked me why I became a murderer, so I brought you here.”

“To hell ? What do you mean actually !?”

Asteri opened her Hoodie hood, deliberately exposing her face that was filled with incision wounds everywhere.

“People like you who have never felt what it's like in hell, will never know what it's like to be in hell. The assassin that is in front of the two of you right now, was born out of desperation after living almost forever in hell.”

The dream I saw before waking up here. So is it true that Asteri was thrown into hell after dying ? Why that red star, so ??

“Ava, stay here.” I whispered to him.

“Hah !? Why is it !? This is where !?”

“There's something I need to talk to this killer boy.”

“Si my mother's killer said you !? Let me slap his head just once, motherfucker !!”

“Hush, they're watching you, know.”

At once, Ava immediately kept silent and did not dare to speak out loud anymore. After making sure that Ava had not dared to move for a while, I began to walk closer to Asteri whose height was probably only my shoulder. Our eyes were staring at each other, and Asteri seemed to, too, had no intention of attacking anymore.

“That red star..... Was he the one who tortured you in hell all this time ? In the fifth hell ?”

“You finally understand too. And guess who made me die this young and end up going to hell ?”

The answer is definitely human. Because that's the same thing Rigel always said, and Asteri himself just now through the dream he gave me. I don't know why, but I can kind of understand what he's been feeling all along. Maybe it was because of that dream.

“Asteri, you..... Can't escape the red star's entanglement, right ? Is it because of that, you started killing humans ?”

“Does asking what you already know the answer is useful ? Definitely because of it. No matter how I run, the red star will always find me. There is no safe hiding place other than in this hell itself, because when I am here, he will not look for me.”

“And because of your strength as well, this whole world has become chaotic. I've lived with your father, and all that time, he's been saying the same thing every day. He misses you, and also, can feel you are still alive in this world. When I thought about what he was talking about now, it all started to make sense. You used your own power to rewind time while you were alive, but because of that too the whole world is in chaos now. That's all I can conclude after seeing what you can do with the red star. So, I beg you..... Restore the world to the original, which it was, Asteri !!”

I strangely begged him as if he were praying to a goddess. Still Asteri did not grant my wish just like that. At least, I can conclude that what I said earlier turned out to be true, can be seen from Asteri's face which was a little surprised because of my clever logic.

“But that means, I will die. I don't want to die in this hell, let alone forever. That red star..... Her..... She is so creepy !!”

Though at first it was quiet, but Asteri suddenly turned into very frightened like this ? Is that how scared he is with the red star, so that Asteri is willing to kill many humans and trap the whole world in a new timeline ?

“Don't think, just because you can have a casual talk with me right now, it will stop me from killing another human afterwards. Since I also still hate humans, I hate all of you !!”

This brat..... Very stubborn of him.

“Then, just beat me up so many times until satisfied !! Don't tell me you forgot about Ava, the person behind me right now !? He hates you so much because you killed his innocent mother completely !! Asteri, listen to me now..... Not all humans are as evil as you think, boy !! Me, and Ava, we both lost someone we loved. I once felt a grudge, as did her who was eager to beat you up, as you saw just now. Innocent people died because of you and that jerk red star, right ? Then I'll beat that fucking red star with my own hands ! I'm gonna protect you from that son of a bitch. We, will fight that jerk together !! As long as you don't kill anyone else..... I, will help you as much as possible, even if it means I lost my own life !!”

“Eva, why did you have to do that to help this killer boy ?”

Ava was suddenly right next to me. He opened his eyes, it turned out. It was truly shocking, but at least, Ava was finally able to hold her grudge against Asteri after seeing how Asteri had been face all along. Asteri then looked up at Ava because of her short body, and her face looked full of deep regret. Don't tell me, my no jutsu lecture managed to brighten his heart ?

“Kakak Ava, is that your name ? I'm..... Apologize.”

“Sorry that will not be enough, boy !! Hmph !!”

Asteri then opened her right palm while observing it, and from there, came a bright white light that made me and Ava forced to close our eyes, so blinding and also blinding.

“What the hell is this, Asteri !?”

“Eva, about returning the earth as you said it was..... I should probably think about it. But, as long as what you say is true...... Maybe I'll do it too. Provided, someone accompanies me...”.

Right after Asteri finished with his sentence, Ava and I saw the same thing, a total darkness. Well, this is really terrible.

“Ava !!! Where is this, motherfucker !!?”

“Quiet first, stupid !! We don't seem to be stepping on the ground!!”

“Eh !?”

Since I just panicked as much as I jumped around unclearly, I did not hear clearly the sound I made as my feet stepped on the ground many times. After reconfirming with a few leg strokes, I finally realized that what we were incising at the moment was an iron floor.

“Oh, it looks like we've returned to SCR.”

Ava and I breathed out simultaneously. It was a very exhausting thing. In the darkness, I turned my head in all directions, before finally finding a luminous crack that looked like it was coming from a half-opened automatic door. That's.... It was the same automatic door that made all this happen !!

“Sialang. AVA !!! WE'RE STILL ALIVE IT TURNS OUT !!!”

“Stop screaming, stupid !! You forgot what place this is !?”

“Hehe.

I was so scared I went to hell until I didn't realize I had shed a few tears. Fortunately, it wasn't my fate and Ava's to go in there. I want to get out of this dark room of jerks right now !!!

“Finally..... Eva, we proceed to the D-class hideout from now on.”

“Oh, that's our next destination ?? At last..... Class D, I'm coming !!!!”

“Whispering really you !!”

And so. Finally, we left the damn room together..... And then walk to the next place......
