Raiada

A man dies after a harsh, exhausting life… and then wakes up again.He is greeted by the Priestess of Worlds, who calmly tells him the impossible:he is being sent to paradise — a place where he can do anything he desires. He may build a world of his own.He may live peacefully with a family in a grand home.He may shape reality itself. Instead of comfort, the protagonist chooses creation.He builds a paradoxical paradise — a world that reflects both his wounds and his curiosity — and slowly, inevitably, he begins to change along with it. But soon, questions rise: Who created paradise in the first place?Why does it exist?And what purpose does such a perfect world serve? This story explores the nature of heaven, illusion, freedom, and the quiet conflicts hidden beneath perfection. Important note:This work was originally written in Russian.
