Chereads / How I became King of time / Chapter 2 - Another world

Chapter 2 - Another world

All he saw was darkness,

As he plunged into the abyss, enveloped by the warm embrace of darkness, his senses were consumed by an eerie void.

In the depths of the abyss, where shadows danced in silent reverie, he found himself adrift in a sea of nothingness. There was no sensation of touch, no sound to break the oppressive silence, and no light to pierce the impenetrable darkness.

Amidst the desolation, he felt a strange pull towards the void that surrounded him. It was as though the darkness was whispering secrets long forgotten, beckoning him to its enigmatic embrace. He felt a familiarity with the surroundings as if this was his birthplace.

In this otherworldly realm, time was a capricious and elusive spirit, twisting and warping with unfathomable unpredictability. Minutes unraveled like silken threads, slipping through his grasp in the blink of an eye. Seconds lingered, elongated into languid tendrils that stretched into infinity. Hours unfolded like ancient tapestries, weaving tales of forgotten epochs and lost civilizations.

Caught in the complicated currents of time's ceaseless dance, Jake found himself drifting in an ocean of unpredictable time. Each passing moment was a riddle, a paradoxical enigma that defied all logic and reason. How long had he lingered in this unknown yet comfortable state? Minutes? Hours? Days? The answer eluded him, slipping through his fingers like grains of sand.

"hahah".

...

['What was that'].

Jake thought.

The voice of a young child was heard chuckling and giggling in the darkness.

**BOOM**

All of a sudden Jake experiences a pain he has never felt before.

Like a tempest unleashed. It was as though his very essence had become a vessel for the chaotic energies of pain, each pulse a symphony of anguish that reverberated through the corridors of his soul.

"AAAAAGHH!!"

He screamed but no voice came out.

['Why is this happening to me? why am I in such pain?? WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS???!']

The pain was unbearable, seconds passed by...

Minutes...

Hours... even days, the pain was still there but as time went on Jake became used to the pain before it felt like the fire from the deepest parts of hell was burning and consuming his soul. now felt like a regular sunburn.

No doubt his soul was experiencing massive changes.

as time went on, floating in this space of nothingness for what seemed like years. he saw a white light. at first it was just a dot but he eventually noticed it started to become larger and larger. 

around 2 hours went by and the speed the dot grew was now 4x faster then when he measured it last.

4 hours...

Then 6... 

Then 10...

['It seems the speed that the dot is growing by is exponential... if thats the case was this dot always here all this time but i was too small to notice'].

Jake wondered

23 hours 58 minutes and 30 seconds since Jake found the dot...

The dot was now expanding at a rapid pace.

23 Hours and 59 minutes and 56 seconds

It was like a miniature Big Bang was expanding. In its wake, the void The once impenetrable darkness, has now given way to the brilliance of a cosmic spectacle. The universe now seems to be a tapestry of shimmering hues, painted with colors of a thousand suns. Each ray of light is a testament to the limitless potential of the universe.

Jake was confused, not only has he been here for an unimaginable amount of time, but now weird events have been happening.

['"Is this what the afterlife is like? Am I in hell?"']

He wondered to himself.

 After the Light enveloped the whole room. Jake started to notice some noises.

"Doog Boj Yweets..."

The voice is that of a man, with a deep and powerful tone that echoes like thunder during a storm. Each word he speaks carries the weight of centuries, as if it has been etched into the annals of time itself.

" Haaa, ym yabb yob." 

Each syllable of the hauntingly high-pitched yet mellifluous voice dripped with honeyed sweetness and delicate femininity, whispering secrets to the soul that lingered in the air long after the last note had faded.

In its gentle rhythm, one could hear the echoes of countless whispered dreams, each word a promise of hope and comfort. The voice conveyed unparalleled beauty and endless grace, like a siren's song that called out to the tired and the lost.

['What's going on here?? Who are these voices.. that sound to be the voice of a man and a woman.']

Jake pondered.

He couldn't see anything. After a while, the light faded. and he started to see shapes and movement. everything was in shades of grey or simply black and white.

Two silhouettes were in his view he couldn't see their faces clearly but they were looking down at him.

"yhw tsni eh gryinc?"

The woman asked with a worried tone.

The man picked up the child and gently tapped his back, causing him to cry out in pain.

['I think I just got spanked by these blurry individuals.. although what seems to be my body is wailing in pain. I don't necessarily feel anything.']

['Is this due to the torturous experiences I had in that dark place?']

The Male raised the boy up in the air while he was still crying and spoke.

" I lhals eamn uoy Azfar ".

After the strong looking man said those words that he didn't understand, he felt some surge of energy deep in his soul that he couldn't comprehend yet.

['I don't understand what is happening here. Did I get reincarnated?? if so why do I have my memories?? is this just like all those light novels I used to read previously?'].

He had many questions but there was no one to answer them.

--- 6 days later---

['It seems I have been reincarnated in a medieval-type world, I only see my father once every few days. From my assumption, he goes to hunt wild rabbits or something that resembles a rabbit.

They were the first two people I saw in this world. Though they are my parents I still miss my original birth parents... And my family from my previous world.

I hope there's a way to see them one day.

Mother...Father']

As the newborn was lost in thought.

We see him sitting on his mother's lap getting breastfed.

Her complexion was reminiscent of dark caramel bathed in moonlight, and it glowed with a luminous radiance that captivated all who beheld it. Her skin was smooth and flawless, and it seemed to hold the secrets of ancient civilizations. Each pore was a testament to the mysteries of time and tide.

Her features, delicate yet resolute, spoke of a beauty that defied earthly constraints. High cheekbones, sculpted with precision, cast soft shadows upon her cheeks, while her almond-shaped eyes sparkled with the light of a thousand stars. Their hue, a deep, soulful brown, held the wisdom of ages past, drawing others into their depths with irresistible magnetism.

she rocked him as she hummed a soft angelic melody. The hungry baby greedily consumed the milk given to him.

['From what I know this world is full of monsters. seeing the size of animals my father brings home. I need to grow up big and strong.']

-- A few minutes went by--

['It seems this is as much as my tiny belly can hold at a time.']

(we will now call him by his given name Azfar)

Azfar stopped drinking, which signaled the woman to lift him and stand him up straight. His head rested on her shoulders as she rubbed and softly patted his back.

After a few minutes of this. A small yet delicate burp could be heard as the clutches of sleep came down on him like a falling mountain.

['This body needs a lot of res...']

His consciousness slowly faded away before he could even finish that thought.
