"Death? What's death? And what happens after it?" I asked myself aloud as the familiar chill crept through my veins. The teachings of every Earthly religion, philosophy, and spiritual theory flooded my mind in a torrent, my consciousness sifting through them like pages of a book I had already read.
Theories of life after death—heaven, hell, reincarnation—all of it swirled together in my head.
But something gnawed at me, something deeper. Reincarnation? Was that it?
Suddenly, it clicked. "Yes, yes..." I muttered to myself, my thoughts racing. All those theories in novels... about other worlds, other realms—they didn't just come from nowhere. Every single belief had a kernel of truth buried within it, twisted by time and human interpretation. I knew they came from somewhere—different worlds, different realities, existing parallel to this one. Reincarnation wasn't just about coming back to this Earth.
No. I wasn't bound to this Earth. Why would I limit myself to this world of mundane people and the petty struggles they obsessed over? What was Earth to me now? Nothing but a stage I had outgrown.
I had no interest in coming back here, no interest in chasing after power or wealth I had already conquered.
My body, though failing, had been the catalyst. This power—the All-Seeing Sight—it wasn't just a tool. It was a gateway.
I had cracked the code.
All those novels, all those mangas I read when I was younger, where the characters would die and find themselves in another world... People thought it was just fiction. No. I knew better. They were glimpses into something real, something beyond our limited understanding. This was the truth they'd been groping at in the dark.
Those stories weren't fantasy—they were windows into possibilities.
"Yes... that's it. I've finally figured it out." I felt a grin creep across my face, despite the blood still pooling beneath me. My thoughts raced past Alex, past the pain. Alex... what a fool. What was revenge compared to this? Should I thank him? I laughed at the absurdity of the idea.
No, that thought didn't matter anymore.
Alex and his pathetic attempts at power—let him rot here in this world. I had no need for him, or for revenge. Why waste my energy on someone like him when I stood on the threshold of something so much greater?
I could transcend.
Earthly power was nothing now. I could feel it—this moment wasn't about the end of my life. It was about the beginning of something else. I wouldn't stay tethered to this reality. My soul... my soul would move beyond. It wasn't just reincarnation as they imagined it.
No, no, it was more. I would break free from the confines of this world, not as some pitiful ghost clinging to the memories of the life I'd led here.
I would step into another world. One that I knew existed in those stories, those legends that humans had glimpsed in their dreams but never fully understood. A world of new possibilities, new rules, a place where someone like me—someone who had broken the Limit—would thrive.
There, I would be reborn.
My body may have been destroyed, riddled with bullets thanks to Alex's pathetic assassination attempt. But my soul? That was eternal. My body was weak, mortal, limited.
But my soul—no, my being—was beyond those limits now.
I would transcend death, transcend this Earth, and enter a world far beyond the imagination of the people who filled this one. A world where my gift, my All-Seeing Sight, would let me rise to heights they couldn't even fathom.
"Yes... that's my next destination," I whispered, feeling the weight of my decision solidify. I wasn't afraid anymore. There was no fear, no regret.
This Earth? It would continue spinning, with its petty wars, its power-hungry elites, its false promises. Let it have them. My journey didn't belong here anymore.
I didn't belong here anymore.
With a final, soft laugh, I swept aside every lingering thought of revenge, every insignificant thread of my old life. There was nothing left to keep me here.
I was going to a world where I would rule not with wealth, but with the true power I now held. A place where I could become something far beyond what Earth could ever understand.
And with that final realization, I felt the last ties to this world fall away, as my soul prepared to leave behind the limits of mortality and step into the unknown.
