Chapter ?: When

-
I surrendered a long time ago, didn't I. 
Having myself stuck in this endless, dark afterlife. I don't remember when I came here.

A certain dimensional traveler had come here, and provided me with her discoveries. Her name, she refused to say. But she said that her grandmother was named Kasuri Mano.

It is not a familiar name at all, but it was sure something to think about, as to how many seconds, minutes, hours, days, even years, have gone by since my disappearance. I've never seen my city collapse. Yet, people showed me the collapse of my city. 

I asked somebody about this... "Kasuri Mano".

Some say that she is alive and running an organization for interdimensional travelers. 
Some say that she died just now, a few days ago.

It's a parallel universe, or truth and lies.
Many people believe on either of those information. It's quite easy to figure out what's going on. 

I walked towards a path, lit by white-colored fire, but there was no one to see. No stars to shine, no suns to blind my eyes.

But who I found was myself. Magic was confirmed to be soul-bound. Someone must have opened a portal to another dimension.

I... died in that parallel universe.

"Are you me?"

"Yes. You already know my name, as I already know yours."

I frowned.

"Why did you surrender, me?" I said.

"Because time shall run without interference. What help does it give if I stop time all for myself? Would this be of any help for anybody?"

"No. That's exactly why I surrendered, too."

"Do you want to go back?"

"If it means I can live my life as a normal person."

"Why would you want to go back as a mere human?"

"After centuries, you might start to wonder about the lifestyle of humanity."

"Any other reason you want to go back, like, at all?"

I thought about it. The recent influx of people into this afterlife. People are dying in my side of The Void.

I sighed. I don't want to return, but I've changed my mind.

"I don't want to be useless anymore."

But when will I come back to life?
When will the other me come back to life, as well?

[Extra Chapter 11: Bellflower] [TO ALL MONOBLANK THEORISTS: This is a different universe where Monochrome Blankness never happened. Instead, it's Polychromatic World that happened. Happy reading!] [Though, some of that information is accurate to the Monochrome Blankness world.] [TW: Violence, Descriptive Gore, Suicide] “Campanula…” Someone’s mother came and hugged me. It’s my mother. I love her so dearly to this day. I desperately tried to reach my hand out to her. She seems so near, yet so far apart. I even ran towards her, but I’m stuck at the same place. She’s even trying to hug me, yet my arms are so far apart. But one thing felt off. She never called me “Campanula”. And the girl named Campanula opens her eyes. It’s midnight. A blue-haired girl woke up in bed. Someone else, her caretaker (or her girlfriend), is sleeping. It’s quite early for her to be waking up at this time. She misses her mother dearly. Campanula contemplates whether she should find her mother or not. It’s bee...

[Notice] Discontinutation of Monochrome Blankness ('s current storyline)

-
I'm really sorry, everyone, if there is even anyone who reads my stuff. I wish to discontinue this novel project of mine due to a lot of reasons. Some of those reasons include me wishing to pursue further knowledge on game development, and to improve on my writing. I felt like the pacing of the chapters was way too fast, and the storywriting's quality is poor, which resulted in me being in an art block.  I also want to spend my time doing what I love, and maybe I'll come back to love writing again. It's up to your own interpretation on how the story ends, and I'll continue writing Side Stories or Extra Chapters here and then. Well, just so you know, Ambroise and Kazai are alive and well! From now on, I will be adding date and time to the chapters I write. It's gonna be a different story, yet I'll continue it in the universe that I built with love and care.

Chapter 1: The Beginning

[10:34 PM July 8, 2026, Kazai's house] While everyone was sleeping, Satora was looking outside the window at Kazai's house while sipping some tea. There was suddenly a thunderstorm, and the thunder was abnormally too strong. She thought beforehand that it was a disaster. "Gah! W-wait, there's... Is this a disaster?" She walks to the bedroom, where everyone is sleeping. She woke up everyone by shouting "Hey! Wake up! There's a dis-" "AAAHHHH! Don't just wake me up when I'm trying to have a good sleep, Sato!" Sai was screaming by fear, it's mostly that he's weak-minded. Everyone woke up, except Luka. She is a childish person who often likes to sleep. "Sai, calm down. Don't be too scared because of yourself existing.." Satora said in a calm tone, then Satora calmed Sai down by saying "Everything is fine, just sleep here, Sai." and proceeds to go dress up. "Why are you waking me up at a time like thi...
