## Chapter 1

Original Chapter

What is a Cocotama?

Cocotamas are tiny little gods-in-training born from cherished objects. Since they are in-training, they make mistakes sometimes.

Usually, they are human-like in shape. Standing on two legs, and having fingerless arms. Those two are usually short, so they have the power to stretch the hands up to the size of their big head.

They wear white pants with a zig-zag edge. They have a mark at the front. You can tell if they are a male or female just by looking at them. If they are pointy, it’s a boy. If it’s wavy (with a point at the bottom part of the zig-zag), then it’s a girl.

They hatch from eggs that look like white chicken eggs. However, unlike most animals who dispose them, Cocotamas use them to hide from humans.

The reason? They will return to where they come from. They are a secret species after all, so they must never be seen at all. There are some acceptions however, but that is for another tale.

One day, something weird happened.

Out of nowhere, an egg formed in the middle of the night in the edge of a forest, a place where few Cocotama has ever come to.

The mysterious egg slowly fell down to the ground. Eventually, it landed. When it did, it hatched.

It is a white Cocotama that has big pointy bat ears that are standing up. It also has bat wings. The mark on its pants is shaped like a red eye with a white iris. After all, all marks only use one color.

“Where... am I?” The Cocotama asked to itself. It looked around its surroundings. It looked at itself, touched its face and all of that stuff. It doesn’t have hands, nor wearing pants! What the heck is it!?

Suddenly, something tells the white Cocotama to calm down, and remember its goal to destroy.

But how can it do so when it’s really small and weak? It looked in its pants, and found two things. A gold egg-shaped charm, and another pair of pants. This time, it’s red with a yellow five-pointed star imprinted on it.

The Cocotama can feel it. The power of destruction, trapped in those two things. He can easily transform back to what he was before he turned into this bat creature. And since it’s isolated from other creatures, he could just transform, destroy, and get out to destroy some more planets.

However, the power of these two things are so weak, it doesn’t seem like it can do anything. The Cocotama wore those pants to test it, and yep, there are no changes.

“Great. I have to communicate with others. Why do I have to live in this stupid world?” The Cocotama said in an annoyed tone before walking towards the light of the lamps from the town.

Before it heads there however, it saw its egg that it hatched from. Something is telling it that it needs it. So he took it, put it in its pants, and went to the city. While doing so, it decided to remind what it is.

‘I am Zero, and only have one goal: to destroy. Destroy everything until there is nothing left. I am the nothing, and nothing can change that.

I will do it. Even if it means dying repeatedly.’

And off he goes.

Meanwhile, a light blue Cocotama with four antennas is doing her job. Cheering people up, and entertaining herself when there’s nothing to do.

Little did both know, they would meet the very next day.

## Chapter 2

Original Chapter

In a house, a Cocotama worked around, cleaning the floor where no one is looking. She is a light blue Cocotama who has four antenna. Her front two antenna twitched, indicating the Cocotama to go to the gap between the refrigator and the counter. The yellow ball-shaped tips of the front antenna glowed in the dark, illuminating the way, cleaning the place in-between the refrigator and the counter.

Her other two antenna are just hair. After cleaning the dust, she cleaned her hair.

“Geez! This thing is very dirty!” The Cocotama said as she cleaned her hair, picking up dust from it.

She put them back at the gap. It’s because she wanted to make the humans see the dirt and clean them themselves.

The house is now clean. The Cocotama lied down on the floor at the top of the fridge.

“I wonder what I am going to do next?” The Cocotama thought to herself.

She looked outside to see that it is nighttime already. The Cocotama decided to just jump off the window and fly with her wings.

Except her wings are too small for her to actually fly. She fell off the two-story house as a result. Luckily, she landed on bushes.

“Ow... I forgot I can’t fly.” The Cocotama said, holding her head in pain.

There, she saw a white Cocotama. He seems to have stumbled across her.

The white Cocotama just blinked. It seems like he didn’t expect the light blue Cocotama to fall.

“What are you doing here?” The blue Cocotama asked.

“Just... just strolling.” The white Cocotama said.

“Oh...Kay.”

The blue Cocotama is about to walk away, but she decided to talk to the white one.

“I’m the god of the ‘limitless possibilities of the phone’, Infy! What’s your name?” The blue Cocotama—Infy—asked.

“Um, Zero.” The white Cocotama—Zero—responded.

“Nice to meet you Zero!” Infy said, shaking Zero's hands.

After she stopped shaking the white one’s hand, she decided to ask. "So, where do you live?" Infy asked.

Zero shook his head. Infy's smile went down.

"You mean... you don't have a place to live?"

"Yeah." Zero nodded.

Infy then thought about it, evident by her walking in a circle, putting her hands on her head, and mumbling things about what to do.

After a bit of thinking, an idea popped out.

“How about you stay with me?” Infy suggested.

While yes, that is the obvious answer, she isn’t sure if this is a good idea. Why? Because humans say to not trust strangers, which means people you don’t know. Infy belives that the same applies to Cocotamas. Even though such thing is unlikely.

The unlikeliness however is why she chose to invite Zero to her home. After all, there is a chance that this aura is just all in her mind.

Zero is shocked by this. He didn’t expect someone like her to invite to her house, even though she might have heard the ‘do no trust strangers’ advice.

“Come on, don’t be shy!” Infy said, pulling Zero’s hand. She then ran back to the house.

Not before putting herself in the egg!

“W-What?” Zero is confused by this action.

Silence.

“Are... are you serious?” Infy asked in defiance as she popped out from egg. “Did you seriously don’t know that you must never be spotted by humans or else you will return to your item?” She then closed her egg and rolled away.

Zero didn’t know what Infy meant by ‘returning to your item’, but he thinks that it’s the equivalent to dying.

“O-oh, i see.”

He then pulled his egg, and went inside it. Inside, it was blank. Nothing inside. Just... black.

Wait... where is he supposed to go?

“Infy?” Zero yelled. “I’m afraid I don’t know where to go!” He then added.

Luckily. Infy is still in hearing range.

“Right! You haven’t been in this place before! Come with me, I’m gonna give you a tour!”

Zero cursed under his breath as he followed the blue Cocotama.

## Chapter 3

Original Chapter

The two Cocotamas—Infy and Zero—are having a tour of the house. Infy is the tour guide, guiding Zero through the house.

Right now, they are heading to the second floor.

"So here's the second floor." Infy said, leading the white Cocotama to the second floor. "Isn't that cool? Oh! Tomomi's here!" She then said upon seeing a teenage human girl lying down on a bed.

Tomomi has long brown hair with dark blue eyes. She seems to be using her smartphone.

"So... what's with that girl?" Zero asked.

“Tomomi is my owner of sorts. I just wanted to check on her to see if she’s ok!” Infy explained. “I-it doesn’t mean I’m allowed to be seen!” She added in panic to give Zero the right idea.

“And why is that?” Zero asked. Infy then looked at Tomomi’s phone.

“It’s because I’m born from there.” Infy explained, pointing at the phone. Zero is still confused.

“Us Cocotamas are born from objects who are being taken good care of by humans. In my case, Tomomi’s phone.” Info explained. Suddenly, she had a thought.

“Now that I think about it, I don’t know what item you are born from!” Infy said. “What is it?”

Zero... didn’t know what to do. Being a being born from nothing, it seems like it’s not an appropriate thing to say.

So, he decided to say that he doesn’t know. It is kind of the truth after all.

“I... I don’t know. I’m not sure. It’s been a long time.” Zero answered.

“I see. Oh well, it’s probably not that important!”

Suddenly, Tomomi stood up. Infy and Zero immediately and quickly ran down the stairs and hid at the gap between the counter and the refrigerator.

The two Cocotamas watched as Tomomi opened the fridge, get some ice cream (with permission of course), and then closing it.

As they watched Tomomi walking back to her room, the two Cocotamas came out from the gap

Suddenly, they hear a growl. It’s from Infy’s tummy.

“Seeing that ice cream made me hungry!” Infy said. “Let’s stop the tour for now so we can eat!” She added as she opened the fridge to look for something to eat.

Infy found a plate of spaghetti wrapped with food wrap high up the fridge. The phone Cocotama slightly opened the wrap and ate a noodle.

“Delicious!” She announced as Zero sweatdrops. That is pretty much loud enough for humans to hear! Luckily, Infy realized this.

“Sorry!” Infy apologized more quietly with a smile on her face. “By the way, are you hungry?” She then asked.

“No. I am not.” As Zero said that, his tummy growled. He realized that his stomach felt empty. “Ok, maybe I do need to eat after all...” He then climbed to where Infy is.

As they ate, Zero decided to think about things. He is a planet destroyer. He wanted everything to drown in darkness. No, everything to disappear. Everything.

Before becoming a Cocotama, he is a powerful entity who is a bit smaller than an adult human.

Despite his size, he did destroy planets, and most creatures who are bigger than him underestimate him badly.

He knows how to deal with things. He ain’t stupid. After all, he had lived thousands upon thousands of years.

Even that is an understatement. He just lost count of how many years he had lived after all. Probably because he doesn’t have a measurement of time a long time ago.

So how can he do this when he is a weak little Cocotama?

Simple. Try to build up power in those two pieces of clothing that he has.

After eating a noodle each, the two climbed down. They made sure that things are as they left it as. The two pushed the refrigerator shut.

When they made sure the door is shut, the two sat down in exhaustion.

“Geez! It’s pretty tiring!” Infy said, wiping off the sweat from her fur.

Zero is also sweating as well. “Yeah.” He puffed. “It is tiring.” He added.

Suddenly, the refrigerator glowed. Out comes a ghostly egg-shaped thing connected to the aura the refrigerator is emitting.

“W-what’s going on!?” Zero yelled, as he watched this thing unfold. Infy’s eyes however, is sparkling with joy.

“What’s happening?” Zero asked, still in shock.

“A Cocotama is going to be born!” Infy said as she jumped while holding Zero’s hands. “A Cocotama is going to be born!” She repeated in excitement.

“Infy! Be quiet!”

“Oh, right.”

Then, the two watched as the egg tried to pull itself away from the aura. When that failed to break the string of aura, it tried again. It also failed. At this point, Zero is slowly losing hope.

But then...

The aura disappeared.

The egg is free from the aura.

It landed on the floor, breaking in half. Out comes is a purple bear-like Cocotama. However, since the Cocotama is launched through the air, he landed face first to the ground.

“Ow...”

“I’m the god of the cold but fresh refrigerator, Freezie!” The Cocotama introduced himself.

“The name’s Infy! Nice to meet you.” Infy introduces herself.

“Zero.” Zero simply said his name.

“Ah, I see. So you two live in this house, right?” Freezie then asked.

“Yep!” Infy nodded. “Speaking of house, we’re on the middle of the tour! Wanna join in?” Infy then asked.

Freezie nodded, not questioning why they are having a tour in the first place if both knew what the house is like already. He didn’t thought of that after all.

And so, Infy continued her tour.

## Chapter 4

Original Chapter

After the tour is finished, the three Cocotamas decided that it’s time to take a rest.

Freezie decided to go near the refrigerator.

“Why are you going there?” Infy asked.

“I like cold stuff. Also, it’s because I was born here.” Freezie answered.

Freezie then relaxed. He doesn’t feel like moving right now it seems. It looks like he is going to sleep in any minute right now...

“Hold on, I haven’t heard your names!” Freezie jolted awake, realizing that he didn’t know the names of the two Cocotamas.

“Oh, I’m Infy! God of the smartphone!”

“Zero.”

...silence.

“God of the what?” Freezie tilted his head.

“I don’t know. I’ve forgotten.” Zero shrugged.

"So, you're telling me that you don't know what item you are born from!?" Freezie asked in shock.

"Yes." Zero answered.

“Oh... I see.” Freezie said, frowning.

“Why the sad face? It probably ain’t that important!” Infy said in a cheerful tone.

“It is.” Freezie looked towards the blue Cocotama in annoyance.

“W-what do you mean?” Zero asked.

“Cocotamas are born from objects, right?” Freezie asked. The other two nodded in understandment. “Not just any objects, cherished objects! Objects that are treated with love and respect! We are here because we aren’t treated like some random object that is just there for use! We are being treated as more than that!” Freezie ranted. He then came closer towards Infy.

“So you are saying that you should dismiss that item that you are born from? You think that thing is unimportant!?Do you even know what’s your purpose? Why we exist!?” Freezie yelled. In response, Infy shook her head no in fear.

“We are supposed to make humans happy! Happy as they can be! We need their Happy Stars to improve our magical abilities! And you shaking it off just like that!?”

As Freezie kept ranting, it made Zero think. Why is he here? He is just a demon who wanted everything to die and bring it to nothing. If he really is reborn from the nothingness instead of being the nothingness, then... did anybody really cherished the nothingness that much?

Is he even a demon anymore? He checked the two prices of clothing that he has.

Before he can even look, Freezie asked the bat Cocotama a question.

“Can I see your tail?”

“S-sure.” Zero nodded in confusion.

The bear Cocotama looked at his back, seeing the tail...

...except there is none.

“W-what is going on?” Freezie asked to no one.
