Now that I had gotten everything I could possibly get from this world, it was time for me to go into seclusion in the dead lands to learn about the multiverse.
I wasn´t planning to come back from there so I just incinerated my body and teleported there.
I tried to enter deaths mind to get some of his knowledge about space but was unsuccessful in entering it. Left with no other choice but to do it the old-fashioned way, I started to study the rifts in space.
*******
I have no clue how long I spend trying to understand the special structure of the multiverse but it definitively was at least 1000 years.
I was now able to feel the neighboring timelines and universes in this reality but I was not able to travel them as freely as I had hoped. I could travel them in soul form but any body I possessed would just be torn apart by the void between the universes.
I wasn´t able to succeed in creating a spell that could safely coat my body but the fact that I could do it at all was enough for me, for now at least.
With that finally done, it was time for me to leave again.
My stay in this reality has been by far the longest as of yet and I really begun to miss the Nothingness.
*******
I spend a long time just floating around in the Nothingness. To me just being here was more comfortable than any meditation, sleep or bed.
After finally having lazed around enough, I started to get back to reality and look for the next adventure.
During my travel in the Outerverse, I saw some pretty interesting things and met some entities that could see me and I spend a bit of time to chat with some of them as well.
I passed many realities but all of them where too weak or useless to me. At some point I came across something that looked like a colosseum, just that it was the size of several universes. My was there a colosseum here?
Before I could explore it, I heard a voice ''Ah, I see you found the Colosseum. You are a little late however, the last meeting was 2 rotations ago'' I recognized that voice, it was Azathoth. Also for anyone wondering, rotations are the measurement of time here after all why would near omnipotent being measure in earth years. It was basically the Outerverse doing a complete rotation just like with earth years, just way longer
''Why is there a Colosseum here?'' I couldn´t help but wonder ''it's the gathering place for meeting, discussions or just entertainment'' a meeting between multiversal entities sounded interesting ''when will the next meeting be?''
''Should be in 6 rotations but I don´t think you can participate, at least not in your condition''
''My condition?''
''Yes, hardly anyone can perceive you in your soul form, you should get yourself a body'' easier said than done ''You think I haven't tried? I just haven´t been able to find a body that would actually survive here yet''
''In that case I can recommend a few places where you could get one'' that sounded promising ''Sure, I would be thankful if you did''
''Excellent, there is a newly born reality that I think will be perfect for you''
''Anything you can tell me about it?''
''Just let it be a surprise'' alright, I like surprises and I haven´t been able to find a decent reality anyways so why not.
''Fine, where is it?'' he didn´t answer and simply created a thread of light in front of me that lead somewhere far away.
*******
After a long time of following the light, I finally arrived at a reality. I could feel that it was very young and didn´t have any powerful beings yet but its laws clearly hinted that there will be many in the future.
Lets see what´s so special about it for even Azathoth to recommend it.
As I entered the reality I immediately noticed that there was no energy in the air but all living beings had one in their body as well as any material here was way stronger that what I was used to. I could see stones that was strong enough to be compared to the diamonds from why previous realities.
After looking around for a bit, I failed to find earth or a similar planet. Apparently, it wasn´t just the material here that was different but all planets were at least 3 times larger than earth.
Left with no other choice but to go to a random planet, I chose the biggest in my vicinity I could find. This planet was probably about 17 times bigger than earth and was only 30% water compared to earths 71%.
I was pretty sure that this was not a reality I knew from my first life, so I decided to not possess an already grown person but starts as a baby.
If Azathoth was right and this was going to be my new body, then I didn´t want any previous tenants in it.
I simply dived into a mountain region until I found what looked like a tribe and looked for a fetus to possess. During my search I saw some interesting being that confirmed my theory that there were no humans in this reality but more to that later.
After a few minutes of looking around, I found the perfect host. I couldn´t yet see its physical traits but I could feel that it already had more of this new form of energy in its body than most beings here.
