Chapter 2 - The meeting in Void

In the early hours of a crisp autumn morning, 18-year-old boy Ethan awoke with a shock. His eyes fluttered open, and he found himself suspended in a vast, empty void. Panic seized his heart as he realised he was neither in his room nor anywhere he recognized. The sensation was akin to floating in a sea of infinite darkness.

Ethan's voice echoed into the emptiness as he cried out for help, but there was no response, not even an echo. Fear coursed through his veins as he attempted to make sense of his surroundings. How had he ended up in this bizarre and terrifying place?

With trembling hands, Ethan tried to reach out to touch something, anything, but her fingers met only the cool, unforgiving nothingness. His mind raced, attempting to piece together the events leading up to this moment, but it was as though his memories were slipping through her fingers like grains of sand.

Hours turned into days, or perhaps it was mere minutes – time seemed to have lost all meaning and exhaustion threatened to overcome him. He couldn't remember how he had arrived here or why, and the hopelessness of his situation weighed heavy on his young shoulders.

As days turned into weeks, Ethan's determination to escape this void grew stronger. He couldn't simply resign himself to this endless nothingness. he began to focus on his memories, grasping at the fragments that remained.

A childhood memory of his grandmother's comforting embrace emerged. The warmth of that memory seemed to push back the encroaching darkness, offering a glimmer of hope. Ethan realised that the void was not just empty space.

With newfound determination, Ethan began to willfully recall his most cherished memories.

Ethan's time in the void continued, but he was no longer its passive victim.Yet, he still yearned for answers. Why had he been brought to this place? What did it all mean?

One day, as he delved deeper into his memories, he stumbled upon a long-forgotten incident involving a mysterious book his grandmother had given him. In his memory, the book had glowed with an otherworldly light, much like the bursts of light he now conjured in the void. Ethan reached out, calling upon the book, and it materialised in his hand.

The book pulsed with energy . Ethan followed its radiant glow, determined to unravel the mystery that had brought him here. As he ventured further into the void, the darkness gave way to faint whispers and distant echoes, as though the void itself was trying to communicate.

Ethan's journey through the void led him to a swirling vortex of light at its centre. As he approached, the whispers grew louder, forming into voices.

Within the vortex, Ethan discovered a realm where time and space converged. It was a place between moments, where memories and emotions transcended reality.

"A great imagination you have there"

I was shocked!! First time I ever heard any voice, to find the source I looked around me.

I found the source, he was a man but I can't comprehend the size of his body.

With the courage I could get, I asked him a question.

" Who are you?! or what are you??!! "

" How rude of you to ask me a question without introducing yourself."

"Sorry. Should this be the cliche movement of my reincarnation to a new world"

" Depends on my mood "

" I can if you want to. But I want to try something new this time, I ain't going to reincarnate you to any known world but something new, unknown world "

"A world filled with magic but is not bound to it. It has other power systems also, people there follow any system which suits them, as the end is the same, becoming powerful. "

" Ok, but was I reincarnated because of my family book, in which by mistake I dropped my blood while I was doing first aid to my hand after cutting it in kitchen "

" Na, I just bought you here after that because I wanted it to sound cliche, and that family heirloom of your is just a normal book"

" Ohh , but who are you, are you some kind of ROB "

" Don't compare me with those beings, I am someone above your imagination, I am not not someone bound by power, not of others not of myself, I Transcend the very concept of existence, the very boundary of imagination. "

""". As I am the ##&-$#@##$#@$. {. ( the one and only Author )

 **can't be seen by MC**. } """""

" Now no more talk. You will directly go to the new world in a new body with knowledge of the world, you will automatically know the language of the world, will be able to use magic "

"Now get lost and make a story worth spending time" 

Memory started to emerge in his mind, he started remembering everything he forgot.

With the memory resolved, the void began to shift and change. The swirling vortex receded, and Ethan found himself standing in an unfamiliar place. Outside of a forest near a river, on a hill inside a cave. His head was spinning and he was having a headache with the information , he was feeling as though he had awakened from a long and troubled dream.

Ethan realised that his journey through the void had been a transformative experience. he had conquered her deepest fears and emerged stronger and wiser. With a renewed sense of purpose , a new world, determined to live his life to the fullest and to cherish every moment.
