As he goes to the campus to begin his first class, he cannot help but feel excited. Here he is again, learning something new. After living for so long, and experiencing so many things, it is hard to find new stuff to learn and new knowledge to dive into.

But then again, people are always discovering things that differ from what they "knew" to be true.

Just like when he was a tribesman at the beginning of this journey, he knew that nature was comprised of spirits, and they controlled the weather, the animals, and the plants. Now, after many iterations of that same idea, gods, then in some places, a single God.

And then, there are the people that have used science to unlock the mysteries that for most of human history were attributed to one superstition or the other.

Aside from the obvious anomaly that was his life, Jeremy had never seen any evidence of magic or gods that can explain his current condition. So now that science is advancing faster than ever before.

It is a suitable time to get into it, and figure out just what the hell happened to him so long ago. All this he was thinking as he walked into his first class.

Hours later, he is going into his first art class. He meets Genie in the hallway. “Hello!” she says with a little wave.

“Hey,” he says with a smile.

“How has your first day of classes been?” She asks.

“It was good. I am really going to enjoy this subject. It seems interesting so far,” he says, his eyes lighting up, thinking about the future.

“Thats good. It is the same with me. Between my experience working with your uncle and what I have seen in the introduction to the classes I am taking, I think I will be very happy with this academic endeavor.”

“‘Academic Endevour’ huh? Big words.”

“Sure, we are in the depths of academia now, don’t you know?” she says with a little giggle.

“Indubitably,” he says in a serious voice.

Afterward they enter the classroom while chatting. As they sit down together the teacher introduces herself.

“Hello class, I am Professor Rainey, and I will be your Art History professor. You may call me Professor, Professor Rainey, or Ms. Rainey. Today we will go through the introduction....”

3 years after starting in the physics program, Jeremy pulled some strings, and greased a few wheels to get an internship at the Large Hadron Collider. He then started doing research along with all the others.

After about 6 months or so, he was using his rare time working at the collider to do his experiments. As he powered up the machine, he started to feel weird, like the air was getting heavy.

It was like a thunderstorm was brewing. Just as he thought that it was like the incident all those years ago, there was a bang and a flash. It was very reminiscent of the occurrence of his life changing transformation.

As he slowly regained consciousness, there was a ding. Then a transparent blue box appeared in his vision.

“Attention population of Earth. We have detected a spike in the area that your planet resides, and after investigating, found that somewhere on your planet there was a collapse in the fabric of space-time.

“Due to your species low understanding of the physics involved, we have decided to induct your planet into the galactic System, to prevent further disruption to the fabric of space-time.

“Once this announcement is over, everyone will be provided more information through the system. Thank you.”

“Um, what?!” he yells. It had been so long since he was so surprised, he did not know how to handle it. His brain stopped functioning for a second.
