As I walked outside my house with Eleanora, I didn't found anybody here either. She said that my entire family was outside at Ellergest' funeral. Apparently it already has been over ten hours since the battle ended, the Undead attacking the city suddenly lost the strength they had once the Necromancer was defeated, and they were easily defeated by the defense force.

However, as we walked outside, I couldn't help but wonder what had happened. Containing the grieving feelings I had within my heart, I tried to see things pragmatically, as much as I could.

"Just what happened there? Is there really some sort of concept of Heaven in this world?" I wondered.

"Heaven…?" Eleanora wondered. "Yeah, it was… it felt like both went to some sort of Heaven."

"I've heard from some souls I've seen that there's something called the River of Souls." I said. "A mystical place within the Plane where the Holy Spirits inhabit, where souls are washed out of their sins, memories, and personalities, brought into new bodies."

"That's… that means this world has a Reincarnation Cycle?" Wondered Eleanora.

"It hasn't been completely confirmed yet, but that's my hypothesis." I said.

From what I learned from my previous life, planets and worlds vary greatly in what they truly are. Planets are the… normal planets. Enormous spheres of elements and materials floating in space, rotating around a star. They can harbor strange life, and even magic, and are often ruled by mortals, or sometimes by ascended ones, divined beings or beyond, who own large pieces of the entire Universe as a whole, entire Galaxies.

And then there are Worlds. They differentiate from Planets because they're self-contained. While Planets are susceptible to the calamities of their surroundings, and may end from meteorites, a star exploding, and so on, Worlds are harder to destroy. This is because they're self-contained, possessing their own unique Space, which is composed by the Laws that govern these Planets.

Souls in the Outer Universe are controlled by a series of Gods that can manipulate them. There were many factions, I remember. But I do remember a Galaxy Ruler known as Samsara, one of the first beings that was born in the Universe. He controlled the Souls of every living being, using them to create an intricate Reincarnation Wheel across the Universe.

After that, he divided his soul, creating countless children, each one was named a Reincarnation God, and were sent to a different area of the universe to control the Wheel of Reincarnation and also to assess its input and more, they fix it when it breaks, amongst other things.

This was the first Reincarnation Wheels, but they had already existed inside of Worlds, where each world is a self-contained land or even pocket dimension, souls travel across special "Mystical Treasures of Reincarnation" often made by the same creators of these Worlds.

If what I've learned is true, then this world is one of those, the River of Souls is the Mystical Treasure of Reincarnation of this immense world of Spiritias. This World is by far the biggest I've seen, by merely sensing the Laws that govern over it, I cannot even really compare it to anything.

Therefore, I can only think that the mutual existence of a Heaven at the same time might not be too crazy from the truth either….

"It felt like they were going somewhere else, yes, but I don't really know where." Said Eleanora. "And then… there's the whole thing about their souls just wandering into the skies. Even sunshine came from within the skies as the morning came, it was a mystical and fantastical moment."

"It is a pity I missed it." I sighed.

Nonetheless, there are more things to add into the mix… First of all, why Erdrich has a strange humanoid soul that knows him, and even said he was the son of her sister? The only moment I saw her, I remember she said that before calming him down.

And then there's the talking Angel Spirit of Elizabeth, another mystery to add to the mix. Its presence and power is clearly that of an Angel, so why? Why is there an Angel reincarnating as a spirit of a human in this world?

Just how are the Spirits of people in this world truly born? It is a question I'll have to find the answer myself, one of these days.

"Heaven, huh…"

Eleanora seemed to be daydreaming.

Heaven actually existed if there was Hell there was obviously Heaven.

While Hell is ruled by the King of Demons, the Prince of Pride, Lucifer, Heaven is ruled by his father, the almighty one, the one and only, the very first, The One, for short.

The One is the purest concept of "God" that was born simultaneously with the Universe. I know of his existence, but I never was able to talk with him directly, only with his servants, Angels.

He is an extremely powerful, all-seeing entity that governs the Universe's very concepts, laws, and reality itself. Yet he barely interferes in anything, always watching, but doing nothing else.

It is said that he is the pillar that maintains the Universe and even concepts beyond that…

Hah, and I challenged his son, Lucifer from all things, and almost got him.

Maybe if I had trained and tried to grow stronger some more, I could had not only defeated Lucifer and stop his Demon Invasion across the Universe, but I could had even found The One and fight him.

Well… who says I cannot do that anymore? This world's very concepts and laws are completely different than the Outer Universe, which are increasingly stronger as well.

I am perhaps already far stronger than my former self when I had this age in my previous life… There's nothing saying I cannot surpass my former self at his pinnacle when I grow up more and keep advancing.

To resolve these wonderful mysteries that fill my heart with excitement, I have to keep working hard and keep advancing, growing stronger step by step… I am sure that old man of Ellergest would had told me the same on his own way.
