I.. Am God?

"Do you have a way to contact Matthias?" He asked.

Andre narrowed his eyes. He remembered that he had talked with Matthias in his dream, but he doesn't know how to contact him at will. But, thinking that only he can answer his problem, he reached deep into his soul and looked for a way.

A while later, he suddenly saw something inside his soul, a small sliver of a soul that is similar yet dissimilar to his. He connected to it and he suddenly blacked out.

He reappeared to a place familiar to him; the bar that he went to inside the dream, and where he met Matthias, his source.

And as expected, he saw him deep inside the bar, still seated in front of the bar counter, drinking his old fashioned. As if expecting his arrival, he turned around and smiled at Andre.

Andre walked towards him as Matthias raised his hand to the bartender and ordered eloquently, "A Martini, please."

"Right away, sir." The bartender nodded and proceeded to concoct. Andre was shocked because he was going to order a Martini once he arrived at the front of the counter.

When he did arrive in front, Matthias at his side glanced at him and smiled, "You're shocked that I ordered a Martini for you, right?" He asked, to which Andre nodded while sitting himself beside Matthias' chair.

"You don't have to be shocked.", Matthias chuckled as he raised his glass of old fashioned and sipped before placing it down once more, "We are one and the same, Andre. I am connected to your mind and soul, therefore I also know why you are here." He said.

"Then, do you know how I can leave this world?" Andre asked with expectation.

"Simple analogy." Matthias shrugged and faced him, "You are Gaius' will. A person has a will; it's soul. Therefore?"

"I.. am a soul?" Andre answered with hesitation. "Yes." Matthias nodded in response.

"If you are the soul of Gaius, then Gaius is proportionate to the soul is to?" Matthias quizzed, his open hands moving in a circular motion.

"Gaius is my body?" Andre replied with his mouth agape. "Bingo." Matthias responded, with his index finger raised, doing a "you-guessed-it" motion.

"Then, how are you going to get out of your body if you are a normal person?" Matthias asked, looking at him knowingly. "I.. can't?"

"Yep. If you want to, you're going out as a soul form, but that's inconvenient, isn't it?" Andre nodded.

"Then, you can only do one thing." Matthias said, "And that is to?"

"To what?" Andre tilted his head in confusion.

"Take control of your body!" Matthias answered, but it only made Andre confused more. "But my body is a planet."

"So? Transform it!" "What?!"

"Transform the planet!" Matthias laughed, but it made Andre irritated. "What will happen to the people inside?!"

"You can transfer their souls into the Dream Realm." Matthias suggested. "I can do that?" Andre gasped.

"Well, maybe not." Matthias scratched his head and chuckled awkwardly, "But I can."

"How?"

"By possessing you." Matthias revealed. Andre went silent, thinking about it. After a while, he asked Matthias, "Can you do it cleanly?" Matthias nodded.

"Then, wait for my signal." Andre said and took the Martini that was on the counter and drank it in one shot, "Thanks for the drink!" Andre shouted as he left, and Matthias just waved his hand.

Back outside, Andre opened his eyes and looked at the two in front of him, "Are you two interested in listening to a story of mine?" He asked.

Jeremy and Sana looked at each other for a moment and returned their gaze at Andre before nodding. "Then, follow me."

They went to Korea, particularly the YPEnt building. There, Nari and his friends were having a dance practice. Andre, Jeremy, and Sana entered the room while being invisible.

Jeremy and Sana's eyes were bulging as they looked at the nine girls. Sana, especially, was looking at Nezumi, who was very if not exactly her.

Andre then proceeded to say, "Do you see that woman?" He pointed at Nari. The two looked and they were stupefied. Sana had her eyes watering the entire time.

"She's the woman that I love the most." Andre uttered lovingly, "Unfortunately, we were never meant to be because we are not the same. I love her so much, but we would only be hurt if we continued to be with each other. In turn, I removed her memories of me inside her."

"If there is a chance that I can be with her with us being the same, I would take it." Andre finished with a saddened smile.

"We had a similar encounter.", Jeremy chuckled halfheartedly. Andre was curious so he turned around to listen. Jeremy turned to Sana who was already crying at the sight of Nari and signaled her. "She's the one most familiar with their story."

"I had a friend who is exactly the same as that woman." Sana began with a smile on her face, "Her name is Mina and she was easily the most elegant of us nine, and I am proud to be a friend of hers. Through destiny, she met a boy when they were kids, a simple boy who did nothing but to be with her and accompany her till we became idols."

"He became her manager and stayed with her to fix her schedule, not making it too tight and just comfortable. Unfortunately, tragedy struck." She then started tearing up once more as memories rushed back to her, "She was diagnosed with extreme depression, with her having a mental breakdown once every day and sometimes thrice."

"It was deemed incurable by doctors, so we once lost hope and just prevented her from doing anything bad. He couldn't take seeing her like that, so he reached out to a powerful entity, wishing for Mina returning to normal in exchange for his emotions."

"He became a lifeless and indifferent man in exchange for his love's happiness. Unfortunately, he lost that love. But fate was just cruel to them as someone tried to assassinate her. Inside him, something suddenly acted up as he jumped and covered her. He died in the process, but he had one last wish before he left us; for everyone to lose the memories of him and for her to be happy. I escaped the memory wipe and fortunately remembered everything about him."

"I witnessed all that with my own eyes. The love, the sacrifice, and the repetition." Sana wiped the tears on his cheeks and smiled, "Fortunately, their suffering has ended, and they are finally at peace. I am only happy that their story can live on."

Andre was saddened by the story as he heaved a sigh, "How powerful love can be, being able to make someone do incredibly crazy things." He muttered.

"Anyways, I just want to let you know that I will only be staying briefly inside your galaxy and will be going far away as I have a responsibility. I will give you autonomy once the problem is solved."

Jeremy and Sana laughed and replied, "Just like Matthias, huh?"

Andre shook his head and sighed before looking at Nari one last time, etching her face deep into his mind. He then faced them once more, "Wait for me high up." He instructed before disappearing from his position.

Mt. Hermon..

Andre reappeared inside, and saw Azazel and Samyaza still talking to Shamsiel. When they noticed Andre walking in, they immediately stood up and greeted respectfully, "Lord."

"It's time." Andre stated. Knowing what he meant, Azazel and Samyaza looked down. Thinking that they're thinking what he's thinking, Andre chuckled, "Don't worry. I was just storing the mountain inside the Dream Realm. You can talk with each other more. I'll just call you out once I need you."

Hearing him, the two brightened up and quickly nodded like how a chicken pecks its food, "Thank you, Lord!" Azazel exclaimed before sitting back together with Samyaza to continue talking with Shamsiel.

Looking at them, Andre shook his head before turning invisible and zooming out. Looking at the mountain from up high, he opened his hands and motioned to it as if grabbing it with his two hands.

Immediately, the mountain was lifted up and immediately vanished after, startling and scaring the people near it. It reached the news and it was broadcasted all over the world.

But, of course, Andre didn't have any care about that. The mountain was already inside him so he rushed up. He immediately flew towards Jeremy and Sana who were waiting for him above the clouds. (A/N: *flustered*)

Inside him, he also signaled Matthias that he was ready. As soon as he arrived in front of the two, his soul was immediately pushed down, while Matthias' sliver of soul emerged. When Matthias laid sight on the two, he smiled, "Hey, bro. Hello, Sana."
