In the beginning, the world was a chaos.
There was no light, nor darkness; no beginning, nor end.
What remained was pure nothingness.
In this nothingness, she was born.
"…Ha…"
The first thing that came was the sound.
A light sound fell into the chaos, rippling a series of light and silent ripples, as if calling someone, as if commemorating someone.
"…?"
Then came the light.
The light was good, because it separated the chaos, illuminated the darkness, and dispelled the original nothingness.
The light was so weak.
The light was so bright.
"Ah…"
More and more light points poured in, carrying sounds, colors, and a kind of soft temperature.
The light poured down, flowing across the calm lake, and raising waves in the water.
Like a seed, like a new bud, like a flower about to bloom, it gradually sprouted in the chaos of nothingness.
With her consciousness gradually becoming clearer, she opened her eyes towards the increasingly strong light——
The world was reflected in her eyes, and the world also reflected her appearance.
The breeze brushed across her cheeks, welcoming her arrival.
She also opened her mouth slightly, as if to respond to the emperor’s expectations.
"Woo waa…"
A cry.
This was the first sound brought to the world by the girl who had walked through her life with a smile.
……
The hardworking gardener picked up a little girl with pink hair under the tallest tree outside the town of Zhen. She slept there peacefully, like a daughter of nature.
The gardener took the girl back to the town and sent her to the welfare home next to the church.
The girl was lively and cute, loved to laugh and act like a spoiled child, and the residents of the town liked her very much.
When the spring snow begins to melt, she stands at the door of the church and presents the flowers she picked to every passerby.
When the sun is warm, she weeds the orchard with the children of the welfare home, looking forward to this year’s harvest.
When the leaves are falling, she learns to speak, pastes leaves of various colors into paintings, and makes up stories to read to everyone.
When the snow is white, she draws the shape of notes on the snow and sings ballads in the winter forest.
The girl is like a gift from the forest. No one knows where she comes from, but everyone accepts her.
Her innocent smile always touches the softest part of people’s hearts.
It’s just a pity that she doesn’t have a name yet.
Everyone wants to give the girl a nice name, but they have never found the most perfect option.
The little girl asked her: "Haven’t you decided yet? It’s so inconvenient to not have a name."
She shook her head and said: "Well… but these names are not cute enough!"
The little girl said: "But I think Ataraxia and Theia are both nice."
She shook her head again and again: "Don’tYes, the name is very important, I must give myself a favorite name! Ah, Marian, you are eating cookies again, you won’t grow taller!"
Marian quickly denied: "Eh? You, you are wrong, I am not eating cookies!"
Time passed day by day.
The girl was still looking forward to her name.
Until a year passed, the day she was brought back to the town came again, and the hostess of the orphanage attached a picture book to the cake she gave her.
"Wow-thank you, Mother Celia! ”
The girl hugged the first gift in her life tightly and opened it in the winter moonlight.
“Wow…”
It was a fairy tale adapted from an ancient legend.
Legend has it that there is a paradise at the end of the world.
The protagonist of the story embarked on a journey to find it, but everyone said that the paradise did not exist.
The protagonist did not give up. He kept traveling and exploring. After going through untold hardships, he finally came to the end of this journey.
And there was nothing there – the legendary paradise really did not exist.
But the protagonist But he did not give up. He stood at the end of the world and shouted–
If paradise does not exist, then I will create one myself!
So he embarked on a longer and more difficult journey than before.
His goal became easier and the process was full of twists and turns.
But because of this, more and more people gathered around him.
People with a common will, they just move towards the end of their dreams together, until the end…
"They cheered, hugged each other, and sang for the realization of their dreams"
"They finally arrived at paradise. It’s there, at the end of this journey. People cheered and shouted its name–"
"Ah…" The girl widened her eyes.
The moonlight fell quietly, illuminating the last word of the story.
"That’s it…"
"Flawless paradise… eternal paradise…"
"Hmm…hmm! Name…name! ”
“My name is… Alicia!”
……
After reading Alicia’s memory, Mei sighed: “This is… Alicia’s childhood.”
“It’s hard to imagine that she also had such a childlike and naive time, just like… a new bud about to bloom, full of curiosity about everything in the world.”
Fairy Ai Li said: “This is very normal. No matter how gorgeous the flowers are, they all start from seeds.”
Mei couldn’t help laughing: “Indeed, but it’s still a bit surprising for Alicia.”
“After all, her usual appearance is so deeply rooted in people’s hearts. It’s not so good to be so well-behaved.”
Fairy Ai Li said: “Oh? I always feel that you mean something.”
Mei was curious: “But, is she already a Herrscher at this time? ObviouslyIt looks no different from an ordinary human, the Ruler of Man… I am also very concerned about this name. "
"By the way, I remember that Vostok-51 was once blocked by the Fire Moth in history. Could that incident be related to this?"
Fairy Ellie replied: "Then we have to look around. Maybe there will be memories of related events?"
"Well, let’s go and have a look."
The scene of the memory reappeared.
"Can we go home… Mother Celia?"
Celia nodded gently and said gently: "Well, it was those people who made a mistake. Everyone is fine. As an apology, we received a large amount of compensation."
"Wow, can’t that buy a lot of cookies!"
"But… what are they looking for? They also gave everyone a physical examination. This is the third time…"
"I don’t know, but didn’t they say that everyone is fine? That’s enough!"
"…"
Listening to her friend’s words.
Ailishiya didn’t say anything.
After dinner, the girl stayed as usual to help the adults clean up the dishes and clean the table.
After the cleaning was over, the hostess and everyone and the children said goodnight.
The girl nervously grabbed her clothes.
"What’s wrong, Ai Lishiya?"
Ailishiya said nervously: "I… I have something to say to Mother Selia."
The nervousness in the girl’s words surprised the hostess. (To read the violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
She knows Ai Lishiya, just as she knows every child here.
She held the child’s hand and encouraged her to continue.
Ailishiya plucked up the courage: "Mother Selia, I want… I want to leave here. ”
Celia said: "Want to leave the orphanage? Oh… Do you want to be an apprentice in a bookstore? After all, you like storybooks so much."
Ailishia shook her head: "No, no… I want to leave the town."
Celia was surprised: "Leave the town?"
Ailishia explained: "The people who came here to take everyone away before, they… they…"
She hesitated whether to say it out loud.
In order not to make her worry.
Ailishia said: "… They made me realize that the world outside is so big! So, I want to go out and take a look. I also want to find the paradise at the end of the world like the protagonist in the picture book! ”
“…”
Celia looked at this flawless and lovely little girl.
Just as she understood all the children, she also understood Alicia.
A tenderness flashed in her eyes: “Okay, then I will prepare a travel bag for little Ali.”
Alicia was surprised and said: “Eh? Mother Celia… won’t you be angry?”[]
Celia said: “Alica has her own dream,How could mom be angry? "
"But you must be careful when you are outside alone. The world outside is big, with many unknowns and choices that you need to face by yourself."
"But don’t worry about what to do right, just follow your heart. Alyssia has always been a smart and kind child, and mom believes you can take care of yourself."
Alyssia nodded happily: "Well… Thank you, mom!"
Celia continued: "Remember to say goodbye to the neighbors these days. Everyone here likes you very much, and everyone must be reluctant to part with little Aly."
"I have to go to the grocery store tomorrow and prepare more food for you. Ah, you also need to buy a few more clothes. Girls, you have to dress up beautifully."
"By the way, you have to find your uncle Kimir and ask him to make you some basic self-defense tools. Oh, there are so many things to do…"
In this way, with the blessings and farewells of everyone, the girl packed her bag and set off on her journey.
Finally.
She climbed the highest hill outside the town…
"Wow…"
"So many lights…so many houses…so many…so many…"
She was amazed at the scenery in front of her.
The lights of thousands of houses gathered and sparkled under the night sky, forming a magnificent picture.
The town that I thought was the whole world was just a small light spot in this picture, and it would be submerged if I didn’t pay attention.
But it was the faint light spots that changed and flashed that gave birth to this ocean of light.
"So…beautiful! ”
She finally found the right words.
That was her spontaneous joy, her sigh from the bottom of her heart.
Such a beautiful world made her indulge in it.
“Hehe… Next… It’s time to find my paradise!”
After reading this memory, Mei said with heartfelt emotion: “Alicia has a very good mother.”
Fairy Ai Li said: “The children and adults in the town also like her very much!”
Mei said: “It is because she grew up in such an environment that she became what she is now, right?”
“So, the abnormality detected by the Fire Moth is not a false incident, and a Herrscher was indeed born in Vostok.”
“They even conducted more than one investigation, but in the end they failed to detect her existence. ”
Fairy Ai Li thought for a moment: "Perhaps, this is the privilege of Alicia – a super charm that everyone loves and will never doubt?"
Mei said: "Anyway, she felt something was wrong, so she chose to leave."
Fairy Ai Li said: "Alica… is a little scared."
Mei speculated: "She probably doesn’t know the cause and effect, but just wants to protect the town and its residents."
"She must be reluctant to leave this place, otherwise, she would leave without saying goodbye during the first search.”
“The first Herrscher, who was born earlier than the First Herrscher… her actions were contrary to all the Herrschers of that era?”
“What exactly is her power? Why did Honkai give birth to such a special Herrscher…”
“It’s strange, how did these memories of Alicia’s childhood survive? She probably hadn’t met other heroes at that time, right?”
Fairy Ali said: “Don’t be impatient, my dear human, the journey of memory is very long, and your questions will be answered later.”
Mei nodded: “Yeah, that’s true. A person’s life… is so long that it’s unimaginable.”
“Next, she will travel around the world, and we should be able to see very long memories. "Fairy Ai Li led Mei to continue watching Alicia’s memory.
Watching her leave the town when she was young…
Watching her embark on a journey with no end…
In the following time, she continued to walk through cities, mountains, villages, and wilderness…
She encountered many things and met many people.
She once listened to the choir’s graceful singing in the ruins of the church.
She once stood by the station that was closed. , shivering in her cloak.
She had been in a magnificent theater, shocked by the heavenly sounds on the stage.
She had been in a rain-soaked alley, sobbing with the city at night.
She had passed by a lush school building, looking at children of the same age through the wall.
She had walked through an isolated village, witnessing a shocking ceremony through the crowd.
She had traveled to a city in the East, and stopped on a busy street.
She once returned to the dusk streets and sat on the dilapidated stage on the street.
She once set foot in a remote mountain village and saw the separation and reunion of the world.
She once visited the center of the world and remembered the joys and sorrows of people.
The girl’s footprints are all over the world.
Passing by again and again, gradually carving her soul into shape.
She has received kindness from strangers, and was warmed, moved and encouraged by them.
She has also suffered unreasonable malice, and was deceived, used and betrayed by them.
Just like day and night, the good and evil of the world divided her journey into two, one side is light and the other side is shadow.
At this time, she still couldn’t understand why such contradictory things coexist in people’s hearts.
But she believed that the glittering lights she saw must really exist.
"As a result… the earth is round, and the world has no end at all. ”
“Just like what the book says, paradise doesn’t really exist…”
“In that case…”
“If paradise doesn’t exist, I’ll create one myself!”
“It must be a very, very beautiful paradise!”
“Then, I’ll name it after myself——”
