Chapter 3: Meeting Lilith
'How... many... years... have passed?' Liam thought, surrendering to the strange force dragging his soul around.
He had long lost track of how much time had passed since that robot dumped him here. All he knew was that his soul had been pulled across space for what felt like an eternity.
With his vision gone, he couldn't see his surroundings. But judging by the fact that he hadn't collided with anything, he figured he was in a vast, empty space.
Strangely, he could vividly feel the sensation of being dragged along, to the point where he memorized the paths he was taken on each time. It felt like an endless loop of being pulled along, his soul slowly tearing apart.
Though he couldn't see himself, he was sure the ethereal glow around his orb-like body had dimmed—maybe it was completely gone by now.
He had long since accepted his fate, believing he was condemned to eternal torment for some sin in his life... though he had no idea what that sin might be.
'When... will this... end?' He wondered, his thoughts sluggish.
He could barely remember Sophie's face, or any of his family members, their images slowly fading from his memory. Even his past life had become nothing but a blur. What did he do to deserve this kind of punishment?
'Why...?' He thought, but no one was present to answer him.
Suddenly, the force pulling on him grew much stronger, dragging him to the side at rapid speed.
'W-what...?' Liam thought, struggling to adjust to the sensation of his soul speeding through the void.
