1 A Wondering Star

There was a Star in this infinite universe.

Yes, Many Stars make up this universe, but this star was special.

And why was it special?

It was conscious

The star possessed the virtues of a living being.

The name of that star was "Sirius."

"Eh? No!!!! My favorite star just turned into a black hole!!" Sirius mourned in sorrow. It stared at the dying star light-years away.

"Turing into a black hole is fine, but now you will devour those adorable minor planets revolving around you!!" Sirius Complained.

It had emotions.

It could see even though it had no eyes.

Sirius emitted luminous radiations, the radiant glimmers transmitted across the universe.

Once the light rays touched something, the star could see it.

Thus Sirius scattered its rays infinitely.

But sometimes Blackholes would devour its rays.

"Wow, the supernova looks as elegant as ever,"

"Well, guess now its time to observe another one,"

Sirius would wander aimlessly while observing the beings far.

Sirius once observed a child from far. He understood the workings of a living being. He had observed the evolution of living beings since the birth of the universe. Looking at the struggles of the child, he felt pity.

But alas, there was nothing he could do.

"Those filthy men lusting over a woman like that,"

"Those filthy women playing with men like that,"

"Why are they ganging up on that child?"

"No!! Dont turn the page yet. I still have not finished reading yet,"

This was his daily routine.

Watching over others, complaining about the actions they carried, caring for some of them, despising most of them

There was not much Sirius could do. He could think, but he could not talk.

His rays would reflect through a person's window and peek towards their television, but since he could not hear, watching television was not so exciting.

Sirius had likewise picked up many languages for the sake of being able to read comics and novels.

There was also a time when Sirius was very naïve

Once in a far way, planet Sirius had spotted a deaf girl. She could not speak or listen. She reminded him of itself.

The girl lived in a small village. The time was peaceful. But one day few soldiers arrived on their horses. Armed with swords and bows,

They rested at the inn when they noticed the deaf girl working as a server.

Driven by their desires, some men sought to force themselves on her while others just observed as no one dared to oppose those soldiers.

It enraged Sirius

Unknown to Sirius, the temperature of the rays it was emitting rose

This induced the entire planet to boil. All the livings being present on the planet, including the girl, scorched to death.

"Oops,"

This was relatively common for him.

There were some people Sirius cared about after observing them for a while.

When something happened to them, Sirius would feel resentful or pity them, but that would generally result in the entire planet getting destroyed.

So Sirius stopped caring about anyone for a while.

Sometimes Sirius would get too close to another star or planet by accident.

His gravitational force would be strong enough to attract them, leading to a collision.

Sirius would be unscratched, but we cannot claim the same thing about the planet.

In the solitary world, he wondered this time with a goal.

Sirius would often see people praying and devoting themselves to a being perceived as [God]

So, Sirius wanted to determine if such a creature existed and if [God] existed

Sirius was there when the first big bang occurred.

Sirius was also there when the first universe died.

Yet there was not a single creature Sirius had ever seen that resembled a being known as [God]

He wondered yet to no avail.

The universe was vast and ever-expanding. There would be no closure to his search.

Sirius gave up on his search.

But an opinion grew up in his mind, "Planets make up the solar system, Many solar systems make up a galaxy, Many galaxies form a universe, and innumerable universes make up this world, but what's there at the end of them all,"

Filled with curiosity, Sirius traveled at the end of it all.

But after a while, Sirius got bored.

After he left a universe, he would just enter another, and the process would only continue.

But during this time, "That Star looks hot," Sirius spotted another star that gave him an unusual sense of attraction.

When he would try to go near other stars, the gravitational force would lead to a collision.

Stars are substantial celestial bodies composed primarily of hydrogen and helium that produce light and heat from the churning nuclear forges inside their cores.

"Wait a minute! Is that star getting bigger, or am I getting too close,"

The gap between the two stars continually decreased.

The star in front of him was a hyper-giant with a radius around 1,700 times larger than the sun. Sirius was smaller than that.

Both of them emitted whitish-blue rays.

"Eh! Eh! I cannot stop,"

When their surface touched, a colossal collision arose, and both of the stars disappeared.

.

.

"What was that? What just happened?" Sirius woke up paranoid. While collecting thoughts, he realized. "Why cannot I see any more?"

He also felt light, like his entire body had disappeared.

"What's going on? Where in the hell am I in?"

[You are in an Abyss]

"Did I just feel something?", He wondered, not realizing he had just heard a voice.

[You just heard my voice. It something living beings used to interact with each other]

"Ahh, Sound, yes voice and language, I read them in a book,"

"Wait! Who in the hell are you? And how can you talk with me?"

[I am God]

[I can listen to the thoughts of every being and correspond with them]

"God? Oh yes, I once searched for you throughout the entire world, but after a while, I got bored,"

[Yes, and that is why I Am here right now]

"So you know about me. Guess I Am popular,"

[Popular? One of the world's biggest stars that does not follow any laws casually destroys planets and creates more work for the Gods. Yes, in a sense you are well-known]

"Ahh...….., So what drove you to show up finally?"

[What do you expect would happen when a hyper-giant star flies across the universe faster than light and invades other universes?]

"The star will get bored after a while,"

[I did not mean what would happen to the star; I meant what would happen to other planets, solar systems, the flow of time and space?]

"No, I generally read novels, not physics books,"

[We Cannot Tolerate Your Activities Anymore]

"Wait! Don't tell me you are going to kill me!! No, don't do that. I still want to live at least few more Millenniums,"

"Wait, did I die in that collision?"

[Yes You Did]

"What!!!!!"

[But your body is changing into a neutron star, so you will be alive again soon]

"Oh! thank god,"

[I am here to offer you a deal]

"What kind of deal?"

[Your rash actions have taken more lives than you can imagine]

"But I don't do that deliberately, you know,"

[Yes, I offer you a solution, reincarnate into another being until you can have proper control over your powers]

"I have powers?"

[Of course, you have powers. Why do you think the gods tolerated your actions till now?]

"But I don't want to. I love roaming through space and observing others,"

[So you want to keep on killing then?]

"I mean...…."

[Very Well, On behalf of all the gods, if you agree I shall grant any of your wishes]

"Wooohhh,"

"Can I wish just to remain a star,"

[And how would that change anything?!!!!!!]

[Remember, once you can control your powers, then the gods will allow you to become a star again, and you can have your peaceful life back]

Sigh, "Very Well,"

[So what's your wish?]

"I don't know. I have nothing I want."

"Wait!!!! I know I wish to keep talking with you,"

[What? Buy Why.?]

"I had never spoken to anyone before. Talking to you made me realize its fun,"

[I cannot you grant that wish]

"Eh? Why?"

[I have too much work to do]

[Besides, after you reincarnate, there would be other living beings you can talk to]

"I see too bad then," He responded in a disheartened tone.

[So which life form do you prefer to reincarnate in?]

"Ah, no idea, any options,"

[if you want to talk, then how about humans? They are known as social animals]

"Nope, no chance, I like the novels they write and the comics they make, but no way, they fight over little things, lack ethics, and are toxic,"

[Not all of them are that way, but then how about an elf or a dwarf?]

"No, elves are like calm humans while dwarfs are like small humans. No, something else,"

[Then how about a dragon? No, not a dragon you will start killing again.]

[Then how about a wolf or a bird]

"Nah, beings like wolf or bird have to hunt for prey. What if I get slaughtered by someone on a higher food chain? What if I don't locate prey and starve to death,"

[Then how about some creatures like a giant spider, ant, or a slime?]

"No way, why would I want to be a monster. I felt disgusted every time I noticed them from far, especially cockroaches,"

[Just what do you want then?]

"I dont know. I assume gods to be all-knowing. Should not you have at least one good recommendation?"

[Sigh, what kind of being do you want to be then?]

"Hmm, I have observed the struggles of many beings, which made me realize I don't want to suffer. I have seen some brutal ways creatures have died, so I don't want to die. I also don't want to feel pain. I just want a harmonious life,"

[....]

[To feel pain is a certain sign of life. To struggle is the way of achieving wisdom. Death lingers on all of us. What's there to be anxious about? Peace is not eternal. SO, I Can not offer you such a life]

"Then how about an angel? When I was traveling. I once saw three creatures with gorgeous wings drifting through space. When I tried to get close, they vanished. Later I found out about them and observed their realm."

"It's peaceful. They require not to work much."

[They did not vanish. When you tried to get close, they instantly burned to death. Not even their ashes remained]

"Oh..."

[And an individual who has killed countless living beings cannot become an Angel]

"Really too bad then,"

[But I understand what you want, so I have decided what you will reincarnate into]

"Really? What's that?"

[You will find out after reincarnating. It's something really similar to a star]

"Eh! But why not tell now?"

[Nope. I Am sure you won't be dissatisfied by what you become]

[But let me warn you about something]

[The power within you is tremendous. Once you reincarnate, you cannot roam free like now, As that could lead to many casualties and loss of innocent life. Beware of your own power, and don't leave the world we send you to. That is All I Can Do for you]

"No worries, I won't go anywhere, just learn about my powers and return to being a star. But what kind of world am I going to reincarnate in,"

[About that, to learn about the significance of life, you first have to figure out what it means to live. And for you to understand that we will not send you into any world but let you create your own]

"What?"

[You have my blessing with you.]

[Farewell]

"Wait, I still have questions,"
