Journey into Quantum Realm - 2

With Janet rescued the adventure of Quantum Realm seems finished. However, when the whole team moved inside Qunijet safely, Singularity spoke to Phil

"Young brother, you should go towards the stable energy area and try to absorb the energy of this microverse. Every higher being possesses the energy of their dimension or realm and you can try it safely here. Once you succeed, you can become very powerful."

When Phil heard this whispering of his big sis in his ears, he was shaken. This absorbing theory can literally push him out of human bonds and elevate his powers. Ava just by absorbing a tiny amount of quantum realm has become a superhuman like this. The idea was definitely tempting but what about his fellow travellers.

"Ahem...Hello Janet. I am Phil, a friend of Hank. I know you and Hank want to return to the real world but I was thinking of venturing and exploring the quantum realm. Can you tell me about your experience here?" Phil asked Janet for some information about this place. After all, Janet had spent a long time here. She must have explored this place otherwise she won't be treated like royalty here.

"Hello, Phil. Thank you so much for coming to my rescue. I know Hank must have driven you crazy. He is just like this. You know I always believed he will come for me." Janet thanked Phil by hugging him tightly. Her dreams of escaping this place have finally come true.

Her husband is finally here and she can go back to her family in the real world. It was one of those things she wished every moment she was here and finally gods had mercy on her.

"I don't advise you going out there alone you know. This place is beyond science. Time and space are too different here. There is energy storms and micro organism here who rule this place and any outsider is a treat or food for them." Janet warned Phil after thinking.

"Come, little bro. Don't worry I can take you out of here if things get messy. Trust me. This is a golden chance. Let them go on the metal bird and we can go play outside. You promised me right!" Singularity was constantly whispering in Phil's ears crazily and her own desire to go out was very strong to handle right now.

"Hank, why don't you and Janet go back while I am going to explore this realm with my big sis. You know, since she is around me, I am practically safe here. I will come back once I am done with my experience." Phil proposed after weighing his pros and cons.

Pros:- Possible superpowers, chance to become a higher being or at least equal to ancient one and becoming powerful enough to defend his family

Cons:- Possibly getting trapped here until rescue, if Singularity fails to get him out of here and spending months or years here on the run, away from his family.

Since he and Hank had deciphered the key to this place, then his rescue will not be possible long. Hence he took a gamble here.

"Phil, have you gone crazy? We just rescued Janet from this place and you want to stay here? You might spend a century here and only a month might pass outside. Time is not constant here Phil. It's mumbo-jumbo here. There is too much to risk. Think, otherwise, Melina will kill me in my sleep." Hank advised Phil knowing Melina will create a storm if she finds they left Phil behind.

"I will send a message for her. Don't worry I know the risks. Also If I spend more than 6 months here, you should come to my rescue. 6 months won't be too long or too short. Besides, we have a quantum tunnel and things are different now." Phil said the last things and then he and his big sis decided to get off near a stable energy area on their way back.

After a short goodbye, Phil stayed behind in this quantum realm while Hank left with his wife. After all, a stubborn man knows another stubborn won't listen to him.

"Let's go, big sis. Teach me how to absorb energy and become powerful here. We have six months to move here now."

"Let's goooo!!!! Come, follow me. This way!" Singularity just grabbed one of his hands and then literally dragged him in the air like he weighted nothing.

> 2 Months

It's been two months. I and Singularity have explored a small area here. There are caves and reefs like you see near an ocean only instead of water they are surrounded by energy storms. Singularity jumped into one of those enjoying a ride like a child. This storm will literally tear me apart, cell by cell if I even touch it.

I have managed to take off my helmet here and breathe like a normal human. The air around here is too complicated to even call the gases around us air properly.

This realm is like a microverse. I have seen a few planets in one of the most stable areas but we didn't go there.

The planets are full of microlife and going there might not be a good idea. Better to be safe than sorry. I have tried the energy channelling thing, Singularity does to draw power from her dimension. It has been little or no use so far.

Whatever energy I can draw from this place, I have no idea how to use it. No one properly explained this stuff in any comics or movies anyway. According to Singularity, I am getting stronger every second here but I don't feel it.

I miss the people outside. It gets lonely here and all the energy clouds and colourful energy waves become boring after a time.

> 4 years/ 4 days

I got lost here for 4 days or 4 years alone here on one of my solo trips. Singularity found me quickly in her 4 days response but for me, those 4 years were the most torturous and painful time of my life.

I fell in a tunnel, got swept by an energy storm and it literally threw me into an unstable region. Time flowed much faster in that area than I ever imagined.

In the beginning, my clothes were torn to shreds and they evaporated. I was naked, hungry and alone. I was not hungry here thanks to my energy absorption thing but it was never enough. I could feel becoming weak as days passed for me. One day I woke up to find myself unable to run properly. Then I knew I had to do more than the yoga thing.

In the next months, I had to search for microlife here and hunt insects, lizards and butterflies here. These microlife beings here are made of biofluids and bioenergy. They have no taste. None.

Often killing them proved a huge challenge and life-threatening. In the process of every hunt, every battle, my use of energy manipulation became proficient. I got injuries, broken bones and a broken jaw but they healed with time. I had to dig a grave to hide for days. It was an experience I don't want anyone to go through.

I learned how to convert into weapons and clothes slowly. It takes time, imagination and focus to guide the energy inside me to use it at will. I can also make huge jumps like hulk. But I am not sure if I am a human anymore.

Anatomically, I can feel a lot of changes inside my body. First, I don't bleed anymore. There is no heartbeat. Bones are also very resistant to any impact. Also, my eyes have changed. How or into what I am not sure. There is no mirror here to check myself but I can clearly see the tiniest detail moving in those energy storms now.

I tried to move back to my original place and escape this region but to move from one region to another requires huge energy and I am not sure if I will overexert myself into moving somewhere more dangerous.

Thankfully before I start doing something more stupid I saw my big sis flying here to come for my rescue. I don't think I cried in my life like that before when I hugged her. I forgot she was a higher being and all that stuff because I was alone for too long to care.

>4 years, 5 months

Since singularity rescued me, I could feel her emotions more clearly. It's more of a sense now. I felt she blamed herself for the experience I had been through and now will also stick close to me. It was like a little girl trying to act brave and protective towards her more younger brother. I spent a lot of time talking to her about that.

After 4 years of loneliness and torture. Where you can only talk to yourself to maintain your sanity. Where even the dead bodies of lizards feel like talking to you, it was great to be around someone. I had a hard time believing when Hanks and others came to our rescue.

I think I should still have one month in the original time but they claim it has been more than 8 months outside. They were unable to access the quantum tunnel due to many small accidents outside.

Sometimes fuse will run out or wiring somewhere will catch fire. It took a lot of refitting to get back here and I was happy to go back.

The experience here has been life-changing but I don't want to be alone anymore. Spending time with a sulking big sis who acts like a young girl is good but I want my wife. I want to hug her and kiss her. I want to smell her scent and touch her body.

I miss my lessons with our girls and our boy. Matt must have learned how to use his senses but I missed a lot of time. I miss my life outside and I could only imagine how Janet managed to be a sane woman here.

Now, I am going back.
