Chereads / The Eight Sin / Chapter 3 - Chapter 2

Chapter 3 - Chapter 2

In a place devoid of any sort of existence, a lone object was seen floating silently.

In this massive void of space, the object seemingly floated peacefully; but looking closer one would see an almost uncanny resemblance to a human figure, seemingly with his eyes closed and sleeping peacefully, blissfully unaware of his surroundings.

This humanoid being, is in reality, the soul of a certain everyday joe from earth who worked, watched TV, movies, animes; played games, had friends and so on.

Having died his soul was suposed to have entered the eternal cycle of reincarnation, but unfortunately or fortunately, whilst just beginning his travel on the 'River of Life and Death', was erroneously shifted away from his destination due to a fight between two point beings of the endless multiverse; namely between 'The Origin of Sins' and 'The Devourer' who were causing massive destruction and choas all around them.

The beings were using only the purest forms of their concepts, sin and devouring and as they fought, fragments of their concepts were scattered all around the area.

The confrontation of the two produced cosmic shochwaves which destroyed almost all the souls that were travelling in the river and his soul, which had just entered the river was pushed out of the river flow.

His soul which was undergoing cleansing, encountered some of the conceptual fragments which had started mixing with each other and was engulfed in these concepts.

His soul, drifting farther and farther away, he got sucked into a random space crack, formed from the two beings' battling each other.

As his soul passed through this space crack, his soul entered the 'Void', a part of the multiverse devoid of anything and everything and connected to everything yet separated from it all.

An unimaginable amount of emptiness that no beings would enter at their own leisure without sufficient preparation, less they harm themselves.

The 'Void' generates massive amount of pressure drawn from all the multiverse and so his soul which suffered this pressure that no normal soul should bear, was almost crushed and his very existence was on the verge of disappearing.

However the concepts that engulfed him, started coursing through every part of his soul and began restucturing his very soul, protecting him somewhat from being wiped out of existance, but the massive crushing pressure was still felt, slowly but surely strengthening his soul.

In this way his soul drifted listlessly in the 'Void' for eons, his mind unconscious of everything and his soul being strengthened with every passimg moment; until he encountered a space crack, which inadvertently sucked him out of his voyage.

He was pushed put of this space crack and at which point he was faced with the spherical form of a planet towards which his soul was being attracted towards but was not even able to enter it's atmosphere.

His soul had undergone massive transformation and was strengthened beyond the limits and so the planet was not able to bear his presence.

Floating statically in space, the soul was in state of equilibrium of being attracted towards the planet and being pushed away at the same time.

As this occurred for a few times, a part of his soul started splitting away and continued splitting up into smaller pieces until the smallest and weakest split soul was able to enter the planet.

His split soul still retaining his connection to the original, he drifted above the planets surface searching everywhere for an empty body to reside it.

Travelling for quite some time his soul finally encounterd a small boy who was being carried by a person and was running towards a forest infront.

The boy had already died but the person carrying the child seemed oblivious to this as he seemed to be too scared to notice it.

As the soul entered the body and started grasping control of it, he finally started waking up from his eons of sleep and what he saw was only death and destruction around him.
