Chapter 1 - Fallen souls

When someone dies, where does their soul go? Well, depending on who you ask, some may say heaven, while others may say you're a sinner and condemn you to hell. Some believe in reincarnation.

But if you ask me, I can say with certainty that I'm in neither. I'm not living in blissful heaven, as I've seen no pearly gates, nor am I being tormented in a fiery hell by hideous demons. I haven't been reborn as someone's son or mother, nor even as a cat.

In here, all I hear is wailing. The souls are screaming Yet, the wails are calming, and the souls themselves appear to maintain their physical forms, but with a soothing, light blue ethereal glow surrounding them. It is a soothing atmosphere, and the silence is almost deafening, broken only by the occasional wail of a lost soul.

Fortunately, aside from the endless souls behind him, there is also a vast expanse of space in front of him, with countless worlds varying in size. One can only speculate about the potential life and civilizations in each and every one of these worlds, unlike in his previous world.

Unfortunately reality is that they cant reincarnate in any of these worlds. It's as if a pane of glass is blocking his access, preventing all of them from entering any of these worlds. Additionally, I doubts that any soul could survive the journey through the void or whatever this space is.

How many years have I been wandering in this space is unknown to me the symphony of wails that was once pleasant to me became jarring to my ears.

I spent so much time here that I literally named each and every soul here and I got married with Feronia she the most beautiful ghost there is in this space.

But of late, things have changed between us. When I tell her I feel like I'm the only one putting the effort she say ahhhh, I say I love you she say ahhhh I say lets do this she say ahhhhh I say I'm cheating on you with Emily she say ahhhhh it's driving me crazy.

i broke up with Feronia i just couldn't do it anymore and the last straw that cut the camel back when i caught her blue handed floating beside mark.

When i called her out she said ahhh i told mark to stay away from her he said aghh then... i snapped and killed mark...wait i killed mark? why do i fell stronger... like my souls was strengthened...weird. I fell so sleepy.

{{Centuries later}}

The space underwent extreme changes mainly with a lot less souls and one extremely bigger and more powerful soul.

I ate them all. And not just the men, but the women and the children, too. They're like animals, and ate them like animals.

my god what have i done i ate them all they were all with me for so many years we were like a family and i killed them all but i feel more powerful more alive and all their memories their experience i feel like i can smith the greatest weapon in the world though i have never seen a smithy i feel like i can cut a thousand men though i never held a knife.

and this barrier that always stood between me and these worlds feels as weak as a twig now but before leaving lets finish eating as for my harlot of an ex-wife well i couldn't harm her she is now a servant for Emily my true love and dear wife.

the space is new empty except for me Emily and my ex-wife and ...mark well many would ask why are you keeping mark alive?.

Don't tell me your a cu..? no, no and no I'm not that I'm keeping him to torment him and her for cheating on me with him.

anyway now my souls alone stand at one hundred feet tall and I'm finally ready to leave this place and start a new life.

As I drew my arm back, ready to shatter the barrier that had held me captive for so long. I unleashed my fury upon the barrier, and it shattered like fragile glass beneath my hand. The sound of its destruction was like thunder, echoing through the vast expanse of space.

But as soon as the barrier was broken, the space itself seemed to retaliate. A crushing pressure bore down upon me, threatening to rip my soul apart. my consciousness torn apart by the sheer force of the void.

And then, in an instant, I was pulled through the void, my soul screaming in agony as I was dragged towards one of the smaller worlds 

Everything else was darkness.
