Jerus - The Magus

PROLOGUE: LIGHT TO DARKNESS

Alberto Ssarosa is a scientist/physicist and an inventor who revolutionized the understanding of time travel, teleportation, and parallel universes.

He is renowned globally for his scientific theories and discoveries. Among them is the theory about time travel..

He presented a comprehensive calculation and other theoretical formulas that evidently support the idea where we can travel through

space-time to any point in time and part or space wherever that is in the known universe, in an accurately predetermined trip, at that! Marvelous indeed!

Although it was hugely substantiated in lab experiments and accepted by the scientific community, it was still a theory chalked on board like his notions and scientific hypothesis about the parallel universes. Nevertheless, it was already leaps and bounds progress in the scientific world.

His revolutionary scientific discovery however, the one that won him a Nobel prize and a title as the

"Prime Physicist in the World" ,

a feat he truly was proud of as a scientist, is the application of teleportation and its scientific laws.

Yes! Teleportation!

You heard it right!

Indeed It was a turning point of the world, but

as grand as it is, it comes with setbacks.

First is that, it requires a great amount of energy to trigger or employ the mechanism behind it and when we say energy, we are talking about the power to execute a subatomic level particle manipulation to initiate a space warp/teleportation gate (simply gate), and the power to maintain it.

And the second set back is the implementation of a must-be-perfect complicated overlaying web of programs (coordinates) making it quite implausible, but of course not impossible.

Every point of travel has to have the exact and perfect coordinates from point

"A" (Where you will teleport from) to point

"B" (the space or location where you will be teleported to), so you will not end up in a place 6 feet below the ground or appearing directly at the surface of the sun.

It's true that its application is achingly demanding , both in money and energy, but yes, its principle were already implemented in technology, but only on inanimate objects as of yet.

It's use however, unfortunately, is ineluctably exploited by the elites and monopolizers of the world.

Rather than producing a technology to answer the problem like hunger and the lack of energy in various parts of the world where leaders could just send out food and medicines or even a tech that produces electricity, intantaneously, it truly would be a life saving tool, but that's just a wishful thinking, because instead, it's being applied and used as a channel for underground businesses, for selfish and mundane interests of pigs and dragons.

Sure it was a world renowned discovery but it was capitalized more to exploit the bottom of the pyramid.

Well, Alberto was no altruist or philantropist to mind much of humanity's blunder and isanity. What mattered most to him is deeper and substantial than those, and that is scientific breakthroughs.

Selfish, but meaningful.

In the first place he has no family or lover to protect then.

Despite the rotten world, his work and his scientific discovery holds its light and value. In fact, it's served as the golden juncture of the world, ushered it from an era to another -

'The era of teleportation!'

It's of its primitive stage, but nontheless a new era.

Because of this, he is much revered and envied at the same time.

While a bullet in his head is just a matter of a split second, he never really feared death, in the first place his security men is not like an impenetrable wall afterall.

Death is death. It's inescapable.

Human as he is, he also have friends, but more than a companion, he considers them as competitors. They are connected like chess pieces, moving by their individual pursuit for knowledge taking each turn carefree of whose piece of theory and pride will thrown out off the board.

That's the harsh reality of the world. Be it in school, in politics, even in scientific circle, it's always a matter of who'll step up and conquer!

So that's our protagonist, definitely a king in his domain and the principal in his league, a prime in his time.

He has the absolute authority over himself and the knowledge and achievements past beyond his time and peers..

Although he is already in his 70s, he still exude a younger aura, an eccentric but fine old man.

His passion as his title put him in a hectic and exhausting routines, but even though, he would never forget to take some time to ponder in thoughts about his parents that mystified him in this lifetime.

There was never a memory of them in his mind but he felt an enormous bond and love for them. He knew there was something wrong and odd about it, since he couldnt even find any records about them, only a vague image of their warm smiles and caress, but things really dont fit because, he grew as an orphan.

Sometimes, when he catch himself agape in puzzle, he convinces himself that he is just crazy or just imagining things, but that logic could not invalidate his cogent feelings as it persists up to his deathbed.

But thanks to that mystery, it kept him amused that it sparked his curiousity about parallel worlds and alternate dimensions.

Indeed it motivated him and made him one of the most prominent and genius people in the world (if not the most). But, with all his discoveries and achiements, on his deathbed, he still wasn't able to solve the mystery he lived with.

There was so many lacking. The pieces that seem to be missing, which he believed are really existent, 'perhaps in another world' he thought.

But the truth that he was just a mortal and could never step beyond this realm has finally dawned on him as he expires slowly.

And, as he submit to his dwindling strenght, as he close his eyes, under the impassive presence of his colleagues, he thought that what if he lived another lifetime or live a little longer, probably he could advance by a quantum leap in his field and might be able to unravel the truth about his life and his surrealistic parents. Perhaps.. and , or, maybe, he would just retire, taking in an orphan and build a home..

'ahh. Alas'.

He wished as a tear falls..

as all his visual thoughts slowly starts fading , into light, into a line, until it was just all darkness..

NOTE:

THIS IS MY FIRST EVER NOVEL, SO BEAR WITH MY ERRORS ESP IN GRAMMAR. AND PLS NOTE THEM IN THE COMMENT SO I CAN CORRECT THEM.

AND BY THE WAY THIS IS AN ISEKAI (REBIRTH, REINCANATION, FANTASY) /MAGICAL TYPE OF NOVEL.

SO THIS IS INTENDED FOR THOSE ANIME OR MANGA READER FANATICS.

HOPEFULLY I CAN POST 1 TO 2 CHAPTERS EVERY WEEK.
