extremely tall. It is very well-known across all the realms, and its
altitudinous apex reaches the height no different from the highest
mountain in Jotunheim. This towering tree has always been the
emperor of all other plant species. The jagged and irregular fruit
that the tree produces has lengthy thorns, which are as sharp as
a Tonbokiri Spear, that give the tree a ferocious look. This fierce-
looking fruit cannot possibly be any other than ‘durian’, which is the
name given by the god due to its gigantic size and fragrant smell
that aromatically arises the appetite of the god.
This realm has always been silent until the god decides to
create an abnormal fruit tree. A tree which unintentionally produces
the most idiosyncratic fruit of all species. This tree contains dark
drab brown acicular leaves, bright red spiky roots that emerge
from the soil, and a short thick vantablack trunk. This bizarre looking
tree, unlike others, is incomparable to those of magnificence in the
bluish forest. Despite its hideous characteristics, it is ridiculously
located on a wide arid steppe outside the forest, where soil is
sterile and no crop is able to grow. This unattractive tree produces
a goofy distinctive fruit that no one has ever seen. The god names
this peculiar, round, red fruit as ‘apple’.

“Ciao!,” yells the apple. “Can anyone hear me?”
There is nothing but silence that surrounds the apple.
The whole plain area is noiseless and peaceful. The only sounds
hearable are wind and water splashing down from a waterfall on
the side of an enormous rugged mountain found a few kilometers
away from the unpretty apple tree.
