My state of mind always changed, every time I understood something deeper, I kept on going, it was my life on Earth, until the age of thirty, where I would succeed...

I was stuck on a boring world, which had lost it's former value, no more were the dreams of flying in the sky, no more were the hopes of immortality, so much was lost,

when people looked at the clouds, they used to burn in envy and ambition, watching the drifting clouds, the clear sky, the stars at night... Thinking, how can I ascend ?

How can I shed my mortal vessel, evolve beyond my limits, reach the clouds and crush the sky...

But no more...

Such ambitions were but the distant past, a time where humans still had the drive to surpass all... When they went through hardships just to refine their mind...

What did people think about during my life on Earth ? Maybe they thought how bored they were, how bland everything was, maybe some wished for death or a short life...

Some dreamed of endless riches and love, some dreamed of being adored and revered, some only wanted peace...

I never believed to be alone, nor do I even now... My dreams of being the strongest was but a common occurence, it was our instinct, maybe it was our ancestors' hopes...

I would look at the leading researchers of the Earth, look at them in pity, all they could do was reach the peak of science, thinking outside the box to attain new heights...

Unfortunately, they were only thinking outside the first box, not the others... That second box called 'reality' was but too captivating... Unfortunately it was a trap...

This 'reality' was what made them lose their chance, I'm sure they are aware of it... What can they do when 'reality' is bound by our Universe's Laws, using something inside these restrictions has it's own limitations, using science, they can never surpass the Universe, nor even escape it...

All I saw them do was send rockets on big rocks... They tried to advance their possibilities, "Why not try to research the unknown ? Does the soul not puzzle them ?" I thought out loud...

We might as well try, is what we are all thinking... No matter how small, people always tried...

So I never understood why, because of a lack of proof from 'reality', they never tried...

They always did unconsciously, we all did.

We all matured, we all improved, we all failed, we all succeeded, we all evolved somehow...

So, I tried... It was simple I thought, the concept was a possibility with little chances of losing much, I thought...

I thought, if I want to escape this boring world I can only try what is unbound by it's limitations...

The soul...

My body is bound, and probably are my emotions as well...

They are bound by 'reality', my flesh and else, bound by space, bound by time, bound by the Universe...

The soul is not on the other end, at least it might not be...

...I thought...

Maybe our goal is to incorporate a 'heart' in the soul, I thought...

But it didn't matter much, I only wanted to escape, I would figure the rest later, if I ever succeeded...I thought...

I thought a lot, I thought...

I ended up trying various sutpid things, in the end, at the age of thirty, my soul somehow escaped, I was meditating, thinking how bored I was doing it, then, my vision blurred...

I lost my eyesight, but I could still see, I quickly understood why...

My soul...

I felt free, but quickly I realised I was being watched, I felt my mind, my soul, shaking, I was moving... Somehow not in 'reality', it was weird, to say the least...

Now I could tell, the Universe was not happy, I could feel some sort of wrath, my first thought was that I went against the Heavens, chuckling at my own train of thoughts, my laughter didn't last long, I felt fear, then... I was kicked out... All I could remember of this instance was a blue-ish portal forming in front of me, a force pushing me inside the next moment...

Then... I technically ascended...

It was fifteen years later, I was a random man, on a random world, on a random Universe, at least this one seemed to be better, but somehow I felt welcomed, when I was evicted of my former Universe, I ended up in another, it seemed happy, I could tell, maybe this is the Heavens' will I thought jokingly...

I quickly understood that my feeling of confort was justified, my soul was sucked inside a certain place on a random world, a body suddenly formed out of nothing and hosted me with care.

Now back to my fifteen years later body, I was a cultivator ! I had decided to name myself Alexander, the world I was in was peaceful, people were somehow kind, maybe because it was a remote location... I stood there, on the lonely and peaceful white-ish dirt road, surrounded by bright green plains, themselves hugged by tall white-grey mountains under the clear blue sky...

Here I stood contemplating my cultivation, Qi Refining Realm Fourth Layer... I was happy, relaxed... But I wanted more... I felt my instincts scream at me, to go higher, always higher...

And so I did... I had my fair share of pain, sorrow, happiness, joy, fun, greed and many others...

...

And here I stand...

Sixteen millions years later...

I sat there, on a throne, inside a gigantic hall illuminated by mysterious-looking arrays, ornated by beautiful pillars and statues...

Here I sat contemplating my cultivation, Ascension Realm Ninth Layer... I still wanted more... I was close to the absolute summit of this Universe...

Then...

*Groan*

...I woke up.
