I Reincarnated As a Tree

Low 3: New Friend New World

I stand before the king of hell. While Athena was standing beside me, her body was trembling with fear, to quell her fear she tried to calm herself by grasping my hand.

“So you failed to give Mount Olympus to me and destroyed the palace on it?.” Such an intimidating voice of a handsome young man who looked as if he was still 25 to 30 years old knew. Although it is actually tens of thousands of years old.

“Hieeeh!.” Athena almost cried when she felt the gaze of the King of Hell Hades on her.

“Haha... Don't be like that baby, you scared our niece.” The queen of the underworld, Persephone smiled gently at Athena. Hades only let out a long sigh at his wife's words, he didn't feel he was doing anything wrong but was required to fix everything. “Stop this conversation, the child's time is not much.” Hades immediately shifted the subject.

Reincarnation, what if you were given the opportunity to reincarnate, what would you want to be?.

“You will be a tree.”

“Heh?.”

I was confused by the words of the Goddess of Spring Persefone. Athena did not understand what her aunt said, while Hades smiled as if he knew what would happen to me after Reincarnation. “It will be nice to see.” Her speech.

“God Goddess who approves a soul doing Reincarnation will affect what the soul result will be. I as the Goddess of spring and my husband who is the ruler of hell approve of the reincarnation of your soul so as to produce two possibilities on your soul will be what it will be.”

Dewi Persefone added that if I do not want to become a tree, I can choose to become a demon. But the problem is that demons will only live in hell, and they will continue to be slaves of Hades. ‘It would be meaningless if I only lived in a hot world full of the screams and wails of sinners.’ I have difficulty choosing a decision.

“But lucky once you have the body of Goddess Athena, your reincarnation will not become an ordinary tree.”

“Tu... my body!, What are you planning on my body!.” Athena looked panicked, she imagined some strange things in her brain Now.

Because it continues to be pressed with a face filled with tears, I also said my plan to Athena, “Jiwaku need a container that can survive inter-dimensional travel.” Athena was certainly surprised by my plan to use her body to cross into another dimension. But it was not her body that the Goddess was worried about but something else.

“I will give up my body to pay for all the sins I have committed for letting the life you lead be filled with suffering.” She looked like a Goddess now, in contrast to just a moment ago who kept crying. “I hope you get a better life in that new world.”

Athena clasped both hands, our positions facing each other making us perhaps so close that our heads touched each other. The goddess gave her blessing, I could feel the warmth of the hand that Athena held.

Then my soul began to shine indicating that the process of reincarnation had begun, Athena still clasped my hand even though my body started to become a flake of light. I was surprised to see her tears flowing again, and it felt different, somehow I felt so sick. It reminded me of my sister who was terrified thinking that we never met again.

“On the river Akheron we find each other ourselves. Talk about each other, throw arguments, refute the opinions of others. Until we finally realized that you and I were just strangers.”

“But, along the boat down the river. We survive the test together, we start to open up, there are no more strangers. I see you in a different way now. Feels so weird and painful when you realize it's all coming to an end.”

It felt warm tears that began to flow down my cheeks. I don't know how long I didn't cry, what it was when I lost my mom, I don't know. Seeing Athena no longer holding back her tears like she was on a boat made me want to calm her down, but I couldn't possibly give her a false hope.

“This is very sad.” Comment Dewi Persefone while biting a handkerchief that has been drenched by tears. “Oh yeah?.” Hades doesn't seem to care. “Hades, your heart is really made of stone!.” Goddess Persefone was angry at her husband's attitude, she hit the king of hell on the chest.

“Ugh... I'm just a little immune to the sadness of separation, because every year I feel the same way when you leave me to bring spring to the world.” The words of the God Hades slowly made the cheeks of Goddess Persephone blush. “What do you think if we have two daughters?.” The question of Goddess Persephone makes the whole hell useful great when the God Hades coughed.

In the end my soul disappeared, I don't know what happened next to Athena, but we promise to live the life we want from now on. I don't imagine what Athena would do, she was a goddess beaked on the king of the Gods, would she later defect from her father to do what she thought was right?.

Who knows, I just hope he gets happiness from now on.

‘Life became a tree, but Goddess Persefone said if I would not be an ordinary tree. I was curious by what he meant by ‘unusual’.’ My consciousness began to fade away when a bright light shone through my entire vision.

Meanwhile in a world located in a different dimension.

[With the agreement that has been agreed by various parties (gods), then with this the official world system is set in Planet 17662]

[Initial outbreak procedure in process]

Earthquakes happen in all parts of the world. Amidst the panic of the earthlings, monsters came from inside the cave that began to appear. It was a massacre, millions of people were killed, leaders of various countries panicked, nuclear rain added to the chaos. It was as if the apocalypse had happened.

That day nearly half of the human population on earth was wiped out, and the number will be almost completely swollen the next day. Cities destroyed by bombardment, radiation spread in the atmosphere. Those who survived tried to establish colonies underground.

But back to a few days before all that happened. On top of a hill in the middle of the city was a dead and weathered tree stump, but slowly the rest of the tree was illuminated by a greenish light. As if given life, the weathered stump of the tree slowly blackened its color back bright like a new tree was cut down. Then quickly a new shoot appeared above him.

“Excellent views.” A voice rang out from the small bud as if enjoying the view of the city around the hill.

To Be Continue's.

[Note: well.. after careful consideration of cooking that makes the brain bulge, finally the author decided to take the genre Survival Apocalypse. It is based off of story development because the two previous author novels that tell about Vrmmorpg games always stop when the game world and reality come together. Well it's stuck and it's very annoying]

[Note: Sorry for those of you who are upset because the author is very wishy-washy, after all, do not expect too much on this novel because it may also fate just like other novels that stop in the middle of the road.]

[Other notes: And lastly, this novel will probably be similar to the Apocalypse Chat story in my Mind, with the power of nature and so on.]
