Equation Of Eternity

Deep within a steep cave, a haggard looking boy was scribiling on pieces of paper, he was calculating something, what could it be, what could be so intriguing in a calculation that the boy was barely allowing himself time to breathe.

A few hours went by, and suddenly the boy roared out in anger.

'arghhhh'

'It is supposed to work, the theory was perfect'

'It's been 6 months since the invtasion and when I fell into this hole. The numbers are supposed to save me, I've believed my entire life that the only thing that could not lie was numbers, yet I have been unsuccessful in working out my pattern out of here.

This boy was Alex, his world was invaded by the Quantum Syndicate, an organization that bears a heavy reputation. It was in trying to escape that he fell into here, or more precisely he calculated his chances of escape and was left with the hole as the most viable answer. He broke and dislocated few bones in the fall but he survived, while all others including his family died.

He was unable to derive patterns for survival for all of them, and if he could he would be unable to save them in time. This math was a personal formula that he called life line equation, it worked more accurately when one was close to his death, it would help produces the best way to navigate pass the near death sequence. But this time it was constantly failing him, was he not near death, his spacial ring rations where sorely depleted, it was now a dry season on this planet, so water was now scarce, he would dead in two weeks if he can't do something.

In anger he picked a Rock and threw it, it smashed against a wall and caused a crack, Alex walked up to the crack, he should not have the power to do this, so something was definitely wrong with the wall. Alex reached out and then touched the crack, the part of the wall now totally crumbled, a feint light shown out. Alex was uncertain to put his hand inside, but he remembered that he was going die here any way, so he put his hand in the hole. 

In the hole Alex grabbed unto something, it was spherical, he pulled it out. The object was big enough to fit into his palm, it looked like it was made of glass, and on the surface it was filled with golden colored patterns.

Alex was still holding the ball when he realized that what was on it was not patterns but an equation, his brain began working on hyperdrive.

Hours later Alex finally solved the equation, and like magic the equation transformed into series of information that filled his head. Suddenly he threw the ball exactly ten centimeters up, caught it and tilted his hands 45 degrees he tapped on a specific place on the sphere.

Immediately golden particles floated out creating a hologram untop the ball. The hologram was a man with a thick beard wearing a robe.

'Oh my, it's been 5thousand years, it is good to be free' the man spoke as he stretched his ethereal body.

Alex was not patient enough to let him Finnish his stretch.

'What exactly are you?'

The man finally realized Alex there holding the sphere.

'oh? A young man like you was able to open my Integral path?' the man had an amazed look on his face.

(Integral path? Is the name of this object? Probably is) Alex thought to himself.

'Well it was not all that hard to calculate'  Alex responded.

'Not hard my ass, normal people can not even sense that it's an equation even metas, you must poses an IQ level of at least 400 to see it a little, then there is solving it under the pressure it gives of. It would take an IQ of at least 450 to open it.'

'Pressure?' Alex asked looking confused.

'You mean you did not feel it?'  the old man was shocked beyond measure, a normal human possesed an average IQ if 150, metas had enhanced brains and could reach 300, he set the the bar at 400 for ability to see it, 450 to solve it and 500 to feel no pressure at all.

'What us your name kid'

'Alex Horizon'

'Well let me tell you what the Integral path is, seeing you are the new owner. I put a sliver of my consiousness inside for the time a new owner takes the integral path, I had a dream in my life, it was to prove that numbers possesd the ultimate power, but for 500 years I fail to do so.

'Wait you lived for 500 years?'

'I used a method I created, called reanimation, it allowed me transfer my consiousness to clones I developed before hand.'

'But you still died'

'Yes I exhuasted my consiousness and soul to create the Equation of Eternity'

'Equation of Eternity?'

'Yes it was the realization of my dreams to prove the power of numbers. Now this equation is in your hand, i never had the chance to use it as I would want, but you can. The equation possesses the power if time, space and reality, I hope you will use it wisely'.

As soon as he finished speaking, he began to fade.

'Wait don't go yet'

'Sorry my consiousness can go only this far'

Soon he disappeared. Alex stared at the sphere for a while.

'The idiot forgot to tell me his name'

Alex focused on the Integral sphere and and suddenly his consiousness disappeared into it. When he opened his eyes he was inside a void, soon information concerning the equation filled his head, methods to control space, time and reality.

'let's see if you will work'

He began using a formula that divined his future, after a while a great head splitting ache hit him.

'arghhhh'

He held his head in pain.

'Damn so I can only see a week ahead at most. There where 20 different future possibilities I saw, there are probably more but it must be that this one's have a higher chance of happening. At least non of the showed me staying inside this cave, that means am getting our of here.'

Alex stood there with glittering eyes, he finally had something to bank on in this life. He closed his hand into a fist.

'I promise to take revenge on those who killed my world and I'll show the Galaxy the power of numbers.'

On that day a vow that would shake the Galaxy was made.
