Anyael opened his eyes, and—oh surprise!—he wasn't in Nightmare anymore. He was in a very strange place, resembling the void of space but tinted in shades of blue. In front of him, a humanoid shadow appeared.
—Jajajjajja! That was a good show, MC. Nah, MC sounds too hardcore. Better I'll call you… hmmm, let me think…
While the being pondered, Anyael stared at him more closely. Was he human? Or at least that's what it looked like. He seemed to be in his twenties, with somewhat long white hair streaked with blue, celestial-patterned sky-blue eyes instead of pupils, and an aura that was out of this world; his very presence felt godlike.
—I got it, you'll be Any —the "entity" said with a smirk—. What's up? Feeling scared?
—Your mother's scared —Anyael blurted out, not even believing he had just said that.
—Damn, kid, chill xd.
The moment the being said "xd," Anyael mentally critiqued him: "Seriously said xd? I never expected something like that from someone like this."
—Me neither, honestly —the being said, crossing his arms.
—Did you just read my mind?
—Yep. You want me to answer your questions, yes or no?
Hearing that, Anyael hesitated internally about what to ask; he still had doubts about why everyone seemed to know about the Revenants, but he decided to go with the most logical question he could think of.
—Who the fuck are you?
—Well, kid, I'm God, and you were reincarnated by me into this world, but you forgot, haha. Now I gotta give you super OP powers…
—Really? —asked Anyael, thinking this sounded super cliché.
—No, dumbass, that was bait lol! Raygetsu isn't that lazy anyway.
—Son of a bitch! But anyway, who the hell is Raygetsu?
—You don't need to know right now. When you learn to break the fourth wall at my level, you'll know —said the "being."
—What?
—Kha?
—That's not how you pronounce it, dumbass! —By this point, Anyael was already pretty pissed—. So, are you in the mood to tell me who the hell you are?
—Ah, yeah. I'm Kaiser, the God of Nothing. No more jokes, kid, I'll explain it to you straight —immediately, he started releasing an energy Anyael could only describe as "tear-inducing."
—Not long ago, he already contacted you, only he distorted things a little…
—He? —asked Any in a more serious tone than usual.
—Yeah, him. That being tied to your soul can slightly interfere with this world.
—Something like Kurama or Sukuna? —asked Any with curiosity.
—One, no, because he doesn't give you power-ups; he's just the "Reader." To him, we're mere entertainment, but not for long —the last part in a lower tone—, and secondly, don't you dare say those names again, or we get copy.
—Copy? Why the fuck would we get copyright? —Any asked, genuinely confused.
—What?
—What?
—Anyway, the point is the Reader made me look a little different, cogh cogh black, altering your senses. And yes, that's one of the few things he can do in this plane, but not too often.
—We're gonna get fucked —Anyael said, covering his face—. "If anyone saw us, sure, but I don't think that 'Reader' would; haha, I'm already rambling xd."
After this "weird" and "hilarious" conversation, Kaiser let Any wake up, not before explaining how he modified his Bondage, for, as he said, "the good of the plot."
After about 2 days of sleep, Any finally woke up.
