Which Ted Chiang's short story do you recommend and why?

Imagine being forced to live, after death, as incorporeal bodies trapped in a vast space of nothingness for thousands of years, with nothing to do but exchanging past memories with other cohabitants (read: weirdos). Everybody wanted out, but there was no way to leave the Void... Until one day, a young man was finally summoned, as a powerful but reluctant mentor, by a bubbly and motivated but completely naive young girl. Baiyi, finally out of the Void, was the only one who could save all of the other 32 souls from their prison and his summoner might just be The Key to their freedom. However, Baiyi had to use the techniques and abilities the other souls had taught him throughout the years, and together with his own extensive knowledge of anime and game tropes from his shady and dangerous past as an otaku, to face the biggest challenge of them all: training the clumsy young girl he was forced to partner up with… into a competent sorcerer!

Him - "You took away my first kiss, you have to be responsible for it" Her - "That was my first kiss too Senior. Am I asking you to be responsible?" Him - "Ask me... I am waiting" Her - "Shut up, get away otherwise I will call my brother" Him - "I am sure he will support his friend, atleast for this" Her - "You- BROTHER" Bro - "Yes my lovely sister" Her - "Brother this friend of yours is asking me to be responsible for his first kiss" Bro - "Serene I taught you since we were young that we should be responsible for our deeds" Her - "But that was just an accident, you told me too, that I shouldn't be bother with it!" Bro - "Well I didn't knew it was him" Him - "Love can you stop getting angry" Her - "Who is your love!!" Him - "Except you, no one was, no one is, no one will and no one is allowed to be." Her - "Ahhh... Don't talk to me." (Not a part of story but how the character is designed and how story it would be.) A love story between two college students Serene and Soham. Serene's childhood was messed up because of her struggled childhood with her brothers in orphanage. And Soham's life was too peaceful that it irritates him. There first encounter was not good but the last will be sweetest. There story doesn't have those lots of up and down in relation or life but it do have some spice. This story isn't like FL settings up an empire from scratch or anything related to business or revenge or creating her identity to show to the world (because she already have everything) but a cute love story with some love hate relation initially and then about persuading someone to accept him. This is more or less all about love. How a egoistic man fell in love with her who don't even give a damn about his presence even though they both are each others first kiss. ML hated her for snatching away his first kiss but in span of time, he was the most grateful person in the world for having that moment with her. But he wants her to be around him only... But she didn't even recognized him as a acquaintance in her life, leave, not even a human being relate to her in her life... poor him.... Initially it was love hate and later it was love in the air. Initial chapters will be little fast to show her and her siblings love for each other. Later it will be cute little love story. Hope you will like it. If you can than just try 10 to 15 chapters.

This is my book and English is my third language so expect some sentence, grammar and spelling error. A headstart for everyone, the MC may have absorbed Aizen and Dr. Gero's soul but that doesn't mean he will become like them. I am creating a character that is different to them so please excuse me is I offended some people. [Synopsis] A man was transported in a dark place where ball of light lights appear and disappear from time to time. He approached one and devour one ball accidentally. He discovered that it is also a soul and he obtain all of its knowledge. He is in glee and starts devouring everything in his vission. Who would have though that a devil was watching him with interest. Disclaimers: The Picture I used in the cover is not mine. I found in google and all of the credits for the cover is all to him/her.
