Authors notes

When I started writing this fanfic, there were a lot of concerns I had with how to proceed with this kind of genre for this story. So, I want to thank my classmates along with other people who've inspired me to continue my passion writing. This is my first fanfic which takes place on Earth. The timeline for this story takes place before Highly Responsive to Prayers. The events for this story occur before the game, none of the events are considered canon, this story is a conjecture of events that might've transpired before the first game. You can also consider this story an advertisement for the first game. Hopefully, by the time your done reading the fanfiction you might consider playing the first game or supporting the author.

Some brief introductions

It was a sunny day today and for most people who live ordinary lives that means that the climate is mildly warm, nothing more. But for this individual, a sunny day meant the difference between life or death. There wasn't anything worth talking about as all hope began to dim out for many. However, there is one girl on this planet who's memories mean more than just having a blissful death. No, if this girl regains her memories, then the fate of the universe is at stake. In this planet Earth, finding your memories could mean the difference between dying peacefully or dying in hell. This girl follows the religion of Slan. The religion of Slan has only one belief and only one belief only. This was that one must die with their memories intact, otherwise they cannot be permitted to die. Thus, even as a ghost this girl's journey in life will not end, no it will keep on continuing, until she gets that blissful death she has wanted so badly. She will face many obstacles along the way of getting her memories back, but eventually she will get her memories back, one way or another. Currently, something happened that tampered with the way she died. This young girl's perilous journey into the dark depths of Earth begins. The only thing she can do is prepare for the worst and hope for the best as there is nothing more than can be done in this predicament she finds herself in.

Chapter 1: Introduction: Empty past

I woke up in a shrine. I then walked out of the shrine, everything then was turning to black before me. Wake up, I've found myself in a hospital somewhere. I decided to talk a walk and converse with someone. So, I talked to a hospital patient. The hospital patient didn't bat an eye over to my direction. He just kept talking to the lady… I decide to walk over and chat with a hospital staff member. The hospital staff member ignored me… She continued to look at her dull paperwork. I tried to start a conversation with people for hours, but to no avail. No one was interested in talking to me.

I decide to touch a cat out of loneliness, but the cat hissed at me. I didn't know why it was angry, but it was staring at me. I could also feel a strange presence as well. I couldn't describe it, but a strange object was following me. Well, it was following me for the past few hours that I was talking to people, I just choose to ignore it. I was able to tell it was an object, due to the fact there was no human breathing but I could hear a faint mechanical creaking sound. Having given into despair, I stare at what I thought to be a strange object. A strange object appeared before me, it had girls face on it. The photo of the girl was superimposed onto the object, she looked as plain as a Mona Lisa, but there was a shadow surrounding that picture and it began to rustle. Startled, I move back frightened and my body started to fade away. As I kept staring, I tried to scream for help, but to no avail. My body began to evaporate.

As I was contemplating my final moments before I died, a lady shouted, "That there is a Ying-yang orb and you didn't kill it "

As I started to disappear, a lone voice would call out to me, "Would you like to discover what killed you? Would like to know how to be free?". Yes, I thought. I couldn't die without knowing who I am first, I had to know what made me who I am before my body joined the cosmos. A disfigured ghost would appear before me. "What is your name?", the lone voice which clearly was a ghost showed itself. "My name, is…", I shouted. "Dammit, what is my name, shrine girl, tin tanuki, what was it?", I cried.

"I've decided what your name is, it should be Natsumi, Natsumi of the stars…", the lone voice walked towards me and revealed itself to be a grimy ghost. The girl had strange attire being dressed up and all. She had a blue uniform with green hair and her eyes would pierce your soul, her hat looked like something you would fine in the samurai era of Japan. "Well you could call me Mima, and I will call you Natsumi.", the girl smiled. "Hold on, I never accepted that name-", I shouted. "It's either that or I'll call you bean bag, which is the name your parents gave, before they killed you.", Mima nonchalantly said. Her eyes glistened mischievously, but it seemed like it wanted to say something else like this fact was true.

"You were thinking about trying to figure what I was thinking, weren't you?", Mima leaned closer and poked my face with her fingers. "If only I could punch you… Where's a gun when you need it?", I thought. Mima started giggling and then her head popped out of her body. "I really don't like her", Natsumi thought.

Natsumi's body was teleported, suddenly. Her body began to disappear, as she was teleporting, she could see some sort of portal that was open, it was a portal that housed some sort of object in an encased glass. Natsumi walked towards the encased glass and saw the a lifeless corpse. The corpse looked decayed with brownish features, it looked like the fingers of the girl were decaying rapidly. The girl's body looked cold and lifeless, but for some reason it almost seemed like it's eyes were moving, even though the eyes looked dead.
