Re:Zero -Starting Life in Zero

"There, humans, half-elves, demi-humans... all races can live equally, without being feared or ostracized because of their bloodline or appearance, without being misunderstood and left alone..."

She raised her hand and gently pressed it against her cheek, as if recalling the cold stares and fear she had suffered in the past because of her resemblance to a witch, her fingertips tightening slightly.

"Everyone can understand each other and treat each other with kindness. No one will cry because of their background anymore, no one will be forced to leave their hometown, and no innocent person will suffer undeserved pain..."

As she said this, she turned to look at Green, his image reflected in her purple eyes, and a soft smile spread across her face:

"There should also be warm sunshine, clear rivers, lush forests... The winds of the Great Forest of Elior should blow to every corner. All life can live in peace and be treated gently."

Her wish was simple and pure, full of goodwill and empathy, just like her kind and gentle nature, yet it also contained a firm determination to break down barriers and protect all living beings.

Grimm held Emilia's hand, standing in the boundless void, his body surrounded by a gentle yet vast aura of demigod.

He gazed at the bewildered World Tree sapling before him, then looked up at the vast emptiness, his voice calm yet carrying the supreme authority of a creator god, and slowly began to speak.

"I will grant your wish, Lia, but first, our world needs light."

As soon as the words fell, a soft light suddenly shone from the depths of nothingness, which then transformed into a warm sun, hanging in the sky.

The light poured down, dispelling all the silence and illuminating the figures of the two people and the World Tree Sapling.

Emilia, her purple eyes wide with surprise, gazed at the beam of light and clung tightly to Grin.

Green raised his hand, gently stroked the air, and declared once again:

"There should be the alternation of the sun and moon, and the embellishment of stars."

As the sun softens, it transforms into the warm daytime sun, while the cool, bright moon appears beside it. Countless stars are born from nothingness, adorning the sky, and the distinction between day and night is thus established.

"There must be earth to support all things."

"There should be flowing water to nourish all living things."

"There should be lush grass and flowers, and greenery covering the fields."

……

one year later.

The first rays of dawn enveloped the entire forest, and the sunlight pierced through layers of branches and leaves, turning the tender green canopy into a warm gold.

Morning dew clung to the blades of grass and petals, refracting delicate light.

A gentle breeze rustled through the woods, just as Emilia had described, drifting over the vast fields of blooming flowers, their fragrance mingling with the scents of grass and trees, reaching every corner of the world.

Above this boundless sea of ​​flowers, in the void, a huge six-sided cube slowly floated up.

Its entire body radiates a warm, primordial aura, standing quietly as the core of power in the new world.

Each face of the cube carries a distinct origin of creation:

One side is lush and green, giving rise to an endless forest, connected to the root system of the Eliol Great Forest at its feet;

A shimmering expanse of clear, boundless water becomes the source of all rivers, lakes, and seas in the world;

One side flickers with golden flames, warm and not violent, the source of all light and heat in the world;

One side is solidified with obsidian, heavy and steady, supporting the mountains and rivers of the entire world;

The remaining two sides, one swirling with the gentle aura of the wind, and the other containing the pure light of life, the six primal forces balancing each other, flowing slowly, maintaining all the order of the new world.

The giant cube suspended above the sea of ​​flowers is the original carrier of the new world, where all the vitality and order of the world are hidden.

In the center of the Eliol Flower Sea, the void solidified into a giant gate engraved with elves and flowers, which is the entrance to the new world.

Grimm led Emilia by the hand and slowly stepped inside.

Inside the gate lies a pure fairytale world, peaceful and beautiful, free from all strife. Rolling green mountains, crystal-clear streams, soft grass and wildflowers carpet the earth, and small animals roam freely in the forest.

In the distance, exquisite fairytale castles stand scattered across the plains, while wooden cabins in the woods are surrounded by vines. Elves, half-elves, demi-humans, and human children play together, their laughter ringing out.

The World Tree Sapling is rooted in the center of the world, its root system connecting the six fundamental elements of the cube, continuously nourishing this land.

……

In a magnificent golden hall, people from all walks of life sat in orderly fashion, their quiet conversations filled with peace and warmth.

Green was already seated at the head of the long table in the center of the hall, a gentle aura of demigod flowing around him. His expression was calm and serene as he quietly watched the beings gathered in the hall.

Bang bang bang!

Green raised his hand and gently tapped the long table in front of him; the crisp sound instantly echoed throughout the entire golden hall.

He spoke with a hint of helplessness:

"Please, I didn't create this ten-person committee for you to just sit around doing nothing. Hurry up and raise your hands to vote, okay?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Camilla, the witch of lust, timidly raised her hand from one side of the long table. Her fair cheeks were flushed with a light blush, and her voice was soft and shy.

"Oh, I agree with Miss Betty's proposal to put Mr. Parker's portrait on the currency."

Sitting to the side, Echidna shrugged lightly, a lazy smile in her eyes, her tone casual and indifferent: "Haha, whatever makes you happy."

The next second, the Wrathful Witch slammed her hand on the table, stood up, and shouted loudly, her tone full of dissatisfaction and seriousness, directly questioning Green:

"What are you thinking? Is this a cat world? And defining the world as square? Isn't that a bit too rebellious?!"

The remaining witches on both sides of the long table—Sloth, Gluttony, Pride, and others—raised their hands in agreement, indicating that more than half of the votes had already approved the proposal.

Green gently clapped his hands together, sealing the deal with an unquestionable certainty in his voice.

"Then it's decided. From now on, one gold pak will be equal to one hundred silver paks, and one silver pak will be equal to one hundred bronze paks."

Betty, seated in her seat, immediately hugged the kitten spirit Parker even tighter, her little face beaming with pride, and clenched her fist, shouting, "Yay! Got it!"

The Wrathful Witch Minerva, her cheeks flushed with anger, slammed her hand on the table again, radiating impatience and fury, and loudly protested to Grin:

"Hey, are you even listening to me? Ugh, I'm so angry!"

Green looked up at the furious witch, his hair standing on end, and skipped over the argument, moving directly to the next topic:

"Okay, next proposal: determine the name of our world."

As soon as she finished speaking, Betty immediately raised her little hand high, her voice full of excitement: "A furry world!"

Green crossed his arms over his chest and said crisply, "Rejected."

"snort!"

Betty immediately puffed out her cheeks, hugged Parker, snorted in dissatisfaction, and turned her little head to the side.

The illusory witch Pandora tilted her head slightly and asked in a gentle tone, the pendant around her neck swaying slightly, its inner light shimmering softly.
