Chapter 1 

Since I trusted my older sister, I also trusted her tastes.

My sister died.

She had always been a selfless person who enjoys helping others, but ended up suffering tragically because of it. Even in her final moments, that aspect of her never changed. My sister, someone who had never jaywalked in her life, died attempting to save a child on a road, getting hit by a truck in the process.

I was distraught by the loss of my beloved sister. Our family…

Yeah, no, let’s skip the details. This isn’t the time for storytelling. I should focus on the angel in front of me and not get distracted.

Luckily, the angel didn’t seem to notice how distracted I was.Actually, I’m not sure if they did or not.

The karma your sister has accumulated has allowed her to ascend to a higher dimension.

“ …That’s awesome?”

The remaining karma has been passed down to use as inheritance. Rejoice.

“Inheritance? Karma can be inherited?”

Yes. It’s unimaginable how much karma is required to ascend to a higher dimension like her. And to even have enough remaining to pass down is a rare occurrence, perhaps occurring once in a thousand years. 

I don’t know what a higher dimension is, but good for her.

As I was admiring the angel who’s fluttering their wings, it told me something I never asked about.

It seems like your karma is at a meager level.

“I know…”

I’m just an ordinary person, unlike my sister, so it’s unlikely for me to collect just as much karma. Unless you count the times I’ve been patient.

Don’t worry. With the inherited karma you just acquired, you’ll still be able to turn your life around.

Come to think of it, the angel’s way of speaking is a bit strange.  Although it may be an angel in their realm, in my eyes, it just looks like a weird clump of feathers with a head attached to it. A clump of feathers with a head… 

Honestly, it looks terrifying… Additionally, the first thing it said when it first appeared earlier was, “ Do not be afraid.”

I don’t know if it’s really an angel, but it does give off a holy vibe now that I had a good look at it.

Its wings fluttered once again.

You, speak of what you desire.

“Anything is possible?”

Most things.

“Then please bring back my sister.”

That’s not possible.

“Even if I die in her place?”

That’s not the issue. You may not understand, but ascending to a higher dimension is a great honor. Therefore, trying to bring your sister back, who has already ascended from a lower dimension, is akin to punishment. Do you wish to reward those who have accumulated karma with punishment?

“Not really, but…”

If my sister won’t come back willingly, I won't force her back against her will.

“Then, at least let me see my sister one last time.”

That too, would not be possible. Beings from the higher dimension cannot descend to lower dimensions at will. It would result in a significant loss for your sister. Surely, that’s not what you desire either.

So much for life-changing opportunities, such a disappointment.

“Fine, whatever. I don’t plan on a long life anyways, nor do I desire a life-changing event.

The clump of feathers twitched unsettlingly as if it were afraid, although its expression is still the same. It’s terrifying to see those feathers move in such a petrifying way.

Does that mean you have no desires?

“I haven’t really thought about it.”

Think carefully. This is a rare opportunity. With this karma, you could…

“Ah.”

You know what you desire?

Something did come to mind, but it sounded so absurd, I would feel embarrassed. So I waved it off as if it’s nothing, and the clump of feathers wriggled in response. 

Let’s hear it.

“It’s too ridiculous, so nevermind that.”

Speak.

“I really shouldn’t.”

I regret saying it. Its expression hadn’t changed at all since earlier. Maybe it just doesn’t know how to smile.

Fortunately, it didn’t seem to be offended by my words as the clump of feathers continued to pester me about it.

Say it.

“It’s, um, about the novel my sister used to write…”

Go on.

“No, never mind. It’s too much.”

Speak, you!

The clump of feathers trembled. I couldn’t tell from its expression, but it looks angry in some way. I got really scared, and spoke to it.

“I want to enter the novel she wrote.”

The clump of feathers remained silent.

Is it pondering? It was quick to respond earlier, so why the hesitation now? Is it maybe something not impossible after all?

Amazing. Is it really easier to enter the novel my sister wrote than to meet her in person?

The clump of feathers finally spoke.

…Do you know the contents of the novel?

“Nope.”

I hadn’t read it despite me asking her to let me read it. But there’s nothing to worry about. Since my sister is such a virtuous person, she must have left behind a beautiful and hopeful story.

“ I want to experience the life of the character my sister cherishes the most in the novel.”

Although I’ve only lived for twenty-years, I roughly understand how the world works. Most people aren’t as warm-hearted as my sister. Their level of kindness wouldn’t even reach lukewarm compared to her.

In this cold world, no matter how many fantastic gifts you receive, the joy never lasts long. Money, fame, beauty, power— In the end, they’re all worthless.

But in a fictional world, things are different. In a world, filled with my sister’s imagination and dreams, maybe I could find happiness. Without any hardships or adversity, the only painful thing there would be not being able to see my sister.

“Is it impossible?”

It is possible.

“No, I meean, how is that possible?”

I know I asked for it, but how could it be possible?

A being from a lower dimension like yours can only create seeds through imagination, but a being from a higher dimension can make them blossom.

“What do you mean?”

The world she imagined during the time you sister was a lower-dimension being has already come into existence.

“Wow, that’s incredible.”

Scenes from sci-fi movies came to my mind. You can create a world as you imagine it. If it’s true then that’s amazing. My sister has truly become amazing.

As I was lost in awe, the clump of feathers spoke again.

Do you truly want to live in that world? No matter how much karma you accumulate there, you will not be able to ascend to the dimension your sister exists in. A newly emerged world is akin to the lowest dimension. It’s much lower than the dimension you currently reside in.

The clump of feathers explained the seriousness of the issue, but it didn't quite sink in with me. After thinking about it for a moment, I asked.

“If I accumulate karma here, is there a possibility for me to ascend to the same dimension as my sister?”

It is possible.

“Please be more specific.”

Based on the life you lived so far, the likelihood is 0.00000000…

“Alright, that’s enough. You can stop talking now.”

“The clumps of feathers lightly shivered.

Beings from the lower dimension are indeed difficult to understand.

“When will my wish be fulfilled?”

Close your eyes.
