...As Sho, or from now on "The Fool," moves, leaning on his staff, and with the movement of things and feeling tired, Sho resists the exhaustion and heads towards a massive lighthouse emitting a huge black light in the distance. And then he says to himself [I have understood something after thinking about it a lot: Although this spiritual world transcends the concepts of dimensions and the concepts of time and space, there is indeed time, yes time, but not as an external existence. Time is eternal, yes, but eternal conceptually and mentally, not as an external existence. As for the Absolute, it is eternally existent externally, not preceded by non-existence, so any movement, no matter what, will be perceived by an entity like me and others on the basis that there is time, therefore indeed everything moves here because the mind cannot imagine the beginning of time without assuming a time before it]. And while Sho's body trembles, Nihil speaks to him from within and says: Release me, I am the embodiment of the power that stabbed you, I am extremely powerful, I will change your body for the better. Then Sho replies to him and says: Not now, I will see who you are later, but now leave me be, I am going to that massive lighthouse emitting a completely black energy...
..With every step Sho takes, he remembers all his memories with his friends: Lee Joon and Loki and his laugh eager for challenges, his mother Jessica, and his beloved Ferri. He remembers everything he went through in the physical world and the spiritual world. With every movement he makes, he feels greater pain in his body. And with the strong winds coming from nowhere, Sho laughs and says to himself [The world is silent, and in this silence I found myself and see it as my home. The world did not give me an answer, it gave me new questions. This is how life and death are something new, but in the end, a person clings to life with an unfailing hope]. And after several minutes, suddenly a very beautiful girl appears, exactly like the girl who died on Sho's chest. Then the girl says: You're here? I am still alive indeed. Then The Fool looks at her and says: I suppose, in one of the possible worlds, you were indeed my beloved, but I don't think that's real here, and you're just an illusion born from my thoughts. The girl looks at him, tears in her eyes, and then Sho says: What's making you cry? Why are you crying? Go to my version that married you in one of the infinite possible worlds. Then the girl suddenly moves away, while Sho doesn't care about her and continues his way. Then he looks at his body and says [If my body didn't contain the attributes of Asborn, Amon, and the Primordial God, it wouldn't have withstood this black energy and I would have been dead by now, but now my body is extremely weak while a mysterious entity dwells in my inner consciousness]. And after several minutes, Sho reaches the location of the massive lighthouse, and sees a giant door with a very tiny opening. Then Sho tries to enter through this tiny opening, and then the staff breaks, and Sho enters inside and his body collapses, and he says to himself [I feel very hungry, I can't endure it]..
..Then Sho crawls on the ground and tries to reach the massive black light, and says to himself [I have never seen a colorless dream before, I wonder what that was?]. Then Sho leans on the thing emanating from the black light, and then suddenly Nihil speaks from within him and says: This energy is energy from the Empty's energy, specifically the one that was with True Death. Release me now so I can absorb it. This energy will elevate you to a higher existence than the entire spiritual world, and you will ascend, and the spiritual world with Valhalla and everything else will become mere illusion and zero compared to you. Then Sho falls silent for a moment and says: Alright then, Nihil. Then Nihil says: Just say "Ruler of Beginning and End," and I will appear and take control of this body for an extremely short time. Not because your body won't withstand it, but because you and I haven't become one yet; there are still unknown gaps between you and me preventing our complete union. Then Sho says: Ruler of Beginning and End. And suddenly Nihil appears, with slightly long black hair, golden eyes, golden mist surrounding him, and a long black robe extending from the arms, and the majestic, strange golden mist. Then Nihil grabs the energy emanating from the lighthouse, and then a sudden collapse of the entire world occurs. While Nihil screams, Sho watches from inside. Then Sho says [I feel there is a third person besides me and Nihil, but I can never see him; I always feel he is watching me]. Then the colorless dream is destroyed, while Nihil transfers to a higher existential level in the chain of infinite worlds, where each world surpasses the one below it existentially, and the world below becomes mere illusion and zero compared to it..
..And in a world called the Demigod World, where this world is completely different from the spiritual world, which was called the World of Absurdity, and everything accelerated to make the Demigod World a more orderly world, and the world that exists at a lower level than the world of the Eight Gods. And then Nihil appears in his legendary form, having become much stronger. Then Nihil returns inside The Fool once again, while The Fool feels great pain and wonder, falling to the ground unconscious..
..And after several hours, The Fool wakes up to find himself on a bed in some room. And then the guards hear The Fool's voice, and one of them enters the room and says: You seem fine now, you slept for several hours. Then Sho says: Who are you and what do you want? Then the guard says: We are guards and servants of the Kingdom of Frostival in the City of Soft Ice. One of the guards found you unconscious near one of the houses. Then another person enters and orders the guard to leave, and the guard leaves without a word. Then the person says: My name is Edward, and I am a doctor who knows almost everything, and I came to tell you something. Then The Fool says: And what is it, Master Edward? Hah. Then Edward speaks, saying: Your spiritual body will perish in a matter of days due to its extreme weakness, but there is a solution. Then Sho is surprised and says: And what is the solution, Master Edward? Then Edward speaks, saying: This kingdom, the Kingdom of Frostival, is one of the largest kingdoms ruling many cities and vast regions in this world. This kingdom was established over 9,000 years ago and is a very ancient kingdom. To survive, you must become a Transcendent. Then Sho says: And what is a Transcendent? Then Edward says: You must join one of the eight Paths created by the Eight Gods. Then The Fool is surprised and says to himself [It seems the Eight Gods here have established a system in this world and have all declared themselves apart from the lower world; it seems the higher you ascend, the more order there is]. Then Edward says: Alright then, take this paper, and some food will come for you to regain some of your energy. After that, go to door number 7 indicated on the paper, enter the code, and you will meet someone who will help you. Then Edward leaves the room and closes the door, while a servant enters and places food in front of The Fool..
..And after several minutes, The Fool finishes his food and gets up from the soft, beautiful bed, takes the paper, opens the room door, and leaves. While The Fool continues moving through the massive hall, he suddenly collides with a strong-built person. The Fool falls to the ground, while the person with blue hair says: I'm sorry, let me help you. Then The Fool gets up from the ground, hands him the paper, smiles at him, and leaves. Meanwhile, the person looks and smiles. Then The Fool looks at the paper: Hmm, room number 7 [I feel a little better after eating some food, but at the same time, there is still some trembling]. Then Sho stands in front of room number 7 and enters the code, which consists of four consecutive numbers. The door opens magically, and The Fool enters inside, noticing many colorful potions and very strange things. Then The Fool says: Hello, is anyone here? He sees a paper on the table and picks it up, and suddenly a short, dark-skinned man with a very fat belly appears from the shadows. Then the person says: You won't understand anything. The Fool startles and says: Where did you come from? Haha..
..The person smiles and says: So you're the one who will choose one of the eight paths. Pay attention, choose carefully; you can never change paths. Then Sho says to himself [I don't know if this will have a negative effect or not, and will it affect the entity called Nihil?]. Suddenly Nihil responds to him in his consciousness and says: The stronger you become, the stronger I become as well. And your choice of a certain path will strengthen this non-physical body of yours. But when I manifest, I have another body that does not belong to any path. Then The Fool speaks and says: Sir, what are the paths I can choose from? Then the old man says: I have a ninth-level potion, the ninth Flame of the Path of Gates, the Seer Path, the Trickster Path, and a Path of Power called the Path of Waves. Which one will you choose? Then The Fool says while holding the paper. Then the old man says: I have never been able to understand that paper until now; it's in a strange language I haven't been able to decipher yet. While the old man speaks, Sho looks at the paper and is surprised to find that he can understand it, stunned, and says to himself [That language! It's the language of the people of Earth on planet Earth!]. The Fool reads the words and sees: (To whoever reads this paper: I am John, an angel. I chose the Path of Fear and deeply regretted not choosing the Seer Path. If you are reading this, I hope you do not repeat the same mistake I made and regretted, because I wasted thousands of years to reach the first Flame, the second strongest Flame after the zero Flame, and I never knew the method of representation, which I never used). Then Sho is stunned and says to himself [What! John? Could it be that John, my friend on Earth in the physical world! Could it be that he died after the nuclear bomb, then transferred to the spiritual world and came to the Demigod World somehow?]. Suddenly the old man speaks, looks at Sho, and says: Huh? And now, what will you choose?..
..Then Sho thinks, and suddenly the old man takes the paper from him and says: Boy, what are you trying to do? I myself couldn't understand that paper and wasted many years to no avail, and you're going to understand it? And now, come on, tell me which path you will choose so I can make the only ninth Flame potion available here. Then Sho thinks and talks to himself, saying [Nihil has power as he told me, and I am weak. But power alone is not enough; I must know and plan for it. I have already decided what I will choose]. Then The Fool says: I will choose the Seer Path, sir. The old man smiles and says: A beautiful and wonderful choice, and also my name is Hourse. I will prepare the potion now. And also, what's your name? The Fool tenses and says: My name is Nihil! Then Hourse tells Nihil to sit down and that he will return after bringing the potion ingredients. And inside Sho, Nihil speaks, saying: What did you just say? Then The Fool speaks and says: You are the Fool, and I am Nihil. The Fool's name should carry power and terror, while I am weak. Then Nihil falls silent for a moment and says: Alright, Nihil. And also, don't forget: any skill you acquire, I automatically gain it. As for any skill I acquire when I control your body, you don't acquire it, but it affects you positively if it's a buff skill, until we fully merge..
..Then the old man Hourse returns with strange ingredients and places them on the table, and says: And now, these are the ingredients. While Nihil looks at Hourse, who brings a cup and starts putting in the ingredients, saying: 100 milliliters of fairy tears, five drops of underarm sweat from a rainbow gazelle, one earth dragon eye, and finally three stones from the River of Reincarnation. And suddenly, rainbow colors appear in the cup, while Nihil (Sho) feels disgusted. Then Hourse places the cup in front of Nihil and says: Here you go, drink. Nihil looks at the cup and says to himself [This was my choice from the beginning; I must drink it quickly]. Then Nihil swallows the potion quickly. Then Hourse says: Don't worry, you'll just feel a little dizzy, listen to me. While Hourse speaks, Nihil feels the world shake and overlap, and feels severe pain in his head. Then Hourse says: Just try to imagine something liquid in this world. Then Nihil tries to focus and imagines that thing, imagining the fairy tears. Then Hourse says: And then imagine placing this liquid inside a huge oven. Nihil imagines a huge oven and places the liquid inside. Hourse continues, saying: And now imagine this thing becoming fire and shrink its size. Then Nihil imagines this thing, while the space around Hourse shakes and the ground cracks slightly. And suddenly, Nihil opens his eyes and feels relieved. Then Hourse says: Congratulations, you have become a Transcendent, specifically a Seer of the ninth Flame. I don't have an eighth Flame potion, keep that in mind. Then Hourse says: What do you see?..
..Then Nihil says: I can see your spiritual aura. [This person seems to be in good health]. Suddenly Nihil sees a huge eye behind the person, startling him and causing pain in his head. Then Nihil says: Master Hourse, there is a big eye behind you. Then Hourse looks behind him and gives a slight laugh, and suddenly Nihil feels severe pain in his head. Hourse says: Quickly close your eyes twice with the intention that you want to stop seeing the spiritual aura. Then Nihil does what Hourse instructed him to do, and finds that the vision of the spiritual aura stops. Then Hourse speaks and says: And now go to Master Azik, the General Commander of this police headquarters, and he will explain everything to you. Then Nihil says: And where do I find him? Then Hourse says: In room number 10. Nihil smiles, thanks Hourse, and heads towards room number 10..
