1 Ch-1 Death and Birth

[On the planet Earth]

Noah died pretty early in his life. He lived a normal life and died in a pretty normal accident at the age of 24.

Pretty much everything in his life was normal, a middle-class family with working parents, a college life with ups and downs in relationships.

Everything was normal except Noah too handsome, with a bright mind. He was decent at university at everything, even if did not try to work hard on them.

Everything seemed fine except him not keeping a stable relationship with his girlfriends. He had too many girlfriends in his life. Nobody understood that why he had so many relationships? Even for bona fide playboys, his number of lovers was too much to even imagine that it was possible.

From classmates to professors and to relatives of his classmates.

But even then everything was normal on the surface until the day of his unfortunate death.....

....

[MC POV]

'It was another day in this normal life. I just left the house of Mrs. Smith. She was the mother of my ex-girlfriend and also the reason for our breakup, but it was not like we never shared a bed after that. She said that I was too good even if I was scum. Many women in my life said that.' Noah thought.

'It's not like I want to be scum, but everything is too bland for me in this life. I don't feel many emotions from normal things, my mind is just too rational for implusive actions and emotions and I knew that I was abnormal in some way (I had to learn to fake emotions from early childhood to appear normal). Sex is one of the few things that made me feel something....' Noah thought as kept walking to his apartment.

I was going on the monologue of my life and justification of my actions, it distracted me from surroundings that I did not even notice that something hit me in the head. I only heard several yells before my vision blacked out.

There were various things going on in my brain. Many faces went through my mind in a few moments. I even thought of a few people who want me dead? What will be my situation after death? Do people to heaven and hell or do they just move to another life?

And I did find an answer to my final question after I felt my whole body just shutting down not even the feeling of pain that I kept feeling a few moments ago.

I felt my whole perception shifting. From the normal human-like perception of their surroundings. I felt everything around me, from people to insects and too much white noise. At the same time, I felt a pulling force on myself. The situation was quite freaky.

I did not understand most of the information from this new perspective, but emotions are one of the things that I understood and I knew my time was limited in this form. The emotions were in a vast range. It was hard to focus on the complexity of a single person as they were expressing a multitude of emotions.

So I focused on the 2 malicious sources that were aimed at me and willed myself to attack these with the intent to kill. Then I felt myself- whatever I was right now, weaken but at the same time the source of malicious intent also vanished.

I was thinking about this whole process when I felt the pulling force on my weakened self getting stronger then my perception felt a few more odd sensations. It was like I was traveling at a very fast speed.

After some time surroundings got desolate and only a few things came into my perception. Some time went like this, I felt some very cold and some very hot things in my perception. This whole process felt like I was traveling in space. I knew that my conjecture was crazy, but everything after my death felt like some fantasy.

I had a feeling that this whole journey was about to end. I figured that maybe this was my 'Soul' and it was in some sort of afterlife process.

Me being aware of my surroundings finally answered the "abnormal" status that I gave myself when I was alive. My Soul was too powerful for my body, thus I only felt intense emotions and my intelligence was high.

Maybe my body would adapt in my later years(I did notice getting more athletic and handsome after my puberty) but these thoughts came to a screeching halt as my perception felt some sort of boundary.

I felt it when I crossed the boundary, but all of a sudden I felt my surroundings getting turbulent and my 'soul' getting swept into it.

The storm in my perception came with the feeling of pain and some sort of energy rushing into my soul-body. My thought process went haywire from the pain and feeling of eternal doom.

It took all of my Will to not lose my sense of being but it was too difficult. Then there was this energy that I felt in my core. It gave me some sense of security so I focused all of my intent and willed my surroundings to collect this energy and condense it into a rotating sphere.

This energy was my only hope and I wanted this energy to help me in any way possible.

This process went for a while..... The sense of eternal doom diminished as the energy sphere got more stable and larger. After who knows how long time. Noah also realized that the concentration of energy in surroundings grew denser with time.

'Things are going very fast and time process this is very limited, but even then it is more interesting than living a bland life without feeling all of the emotions, it is very fulfilling. Maybe if there is some afterlife, I will try my best on having a fulfilling life.' Noah thought.

Noah only focused on keeping the rotating sphere stable, as after the process started the sphere started attracting the surrounding energy by itself.

Noah could feel the existence of a sphere in himself. As this feeling grew more pronounced, the tide of energy grew more violent. Noah just focused on keeping the sphere stable.

This process came to an end all of a sudden just like the time when the storm started all of a sudden, but circumstances gave Noah no time to rest and digest what happened to him as the pulling force and feeling of crossing some sort of boundary came into his perception for one more time.

He was in another universe. This time he felt it more clearly there was some energy in his perception. It was a different type of energy compared to the one he felt in the storm. When the pulling force acted on him and started to pull him, then he had an uneasy feeling about what was about to happen, the Orb (rotating sphere) stirred up and canceled the pulling force, and threw him in another direction.

Noah did not know what happened, but he felt that orb terminated the afterlife event. After traveling in desolation for some time, Noah felt the emotions in his perception. He knew that now he was near another intelligent life, maybe they were also human.

His journey came to an end when he felt the Orb sucking something and the nourishment that came from it for him. At least now he knew one of the functions of this mysterious orb.

Then came the feeling of being pushed through by something slimy. All of sudden he felt various sensations, then a burning sensation from his behind. Something grew in his heart and then

"Uwahhh!!" He cried.
