Advertisement
The next morning, Ramirez leaves his house, equipped with great and comfortable clothes to drive a truck at his workplace into this time of the year because the cold has started to appear, and some trucks did not present hot air which is Ramirez ones who drive out yesterday to deliver those oranges and other things.
While he was driving to his workplace, on the left side of the streets he sees a woman who is doing hitch-hiking. Ramirez has decided to do this thing, but because he wanted to help a woman, but because a smart thing was happening to him when he got so drunk that he ended up in a forest butt naked and he had to walk twelve miles to his hometown because nobody would want to drive a "young and naked drunk teenager, also a guy with cannabis addiction since age fifteen". Ramirez stops his jeep and he opens the right side of his car to let the young woman enter it. The woman comes into Ramirez's car, he thanks him, she puts on the belt because safety matters and Ramirez drives the jeep into the destination that the mysterious woman wanted.
"Where you want to go?"
"To the General Countryside Hospital." says the woman.
"What happened? Why do you want to go there?" asks Ramirez after he takes a left turn.
"My aunt got into a car accident a few days ago and I want to go there to see how she is doing... I am not from this part of the island and also, the taxi has left me in the forest."
"How cruel." says Ramirez.
"So... Are you living here?"
"Yes. I know all the parts of this countryside and also I want on my way to work."

"I'm sorry."
"Don't be. It sometimes happens to get thrown in the forest for no damn reason."
And after a few minutes of driving, while these two were listening to the podcast of a man who was talking about some UFOs conspiracy theories, the mysterious woman, suddenly revealed something.
"The guy wanted to rape me."
"Huh?" asks Ramirez who has no idea what the woman was talking about and then he remembers the drivers. "You mean the taxi driver?"
"Aha."
"What a bastard."
"He is. He tried to look at my breasts all road to this countryside."
"... Do not worry. I am not a pervert or a lunatic who would rape any kind of woman."
"Thanks."
"You're welcome."
A few minutes later of driving, these two arrived at their destination, and when the woman has left the jeep, he thanks Ramirez, she gave him twenty bucks and she runs into the Hospital to his auntie. And after the mysterious woman has left, Ramirez has stepped on the gas and drives to his workplace because he is late and could get a punishment on his second day of work.

In the hospital, the mysterious woman goes to the reception which there is one man who is looking at his computer.
"Good morning! How can I help you?" asks the man at the reception.
"Hello! I want to know where Augusta Martha is located if you can help me?"
"Are you a relative?"
"Yes. She is my aunt." says the mysterious woman.
"Alright..." says the man while typing the name of the woman on the computer. "Found it. Located in Room 12, Second Floor."
"Thank you." responds the mysterious lady going to the stairs which will lead her to the final floor, the second floor.
The woman is taking the stairs to reach the second floor because this Hospital does not present an Ascensor or anything like this to visitors, the Ascensor could only be used by people with emergencies or medical staff. While she is climbing those stairs she is trying to think positively that his aunt is still and she will be alive.

First Iteration
What is a soul ? Is it your true self ? Would you be the same if your soul kept traveling from life to life but your memories faded for each new life you had ? Your education would be different each time, your growing environment would be different, your personality might change. So what is the purpose of the soul ? Mortals never got an answer for this question. Finding an exact definition didn’t matter for them, what they knew was that a soul allowed reincarnation. Even if they lost some memories, getting glimpses of their past lives was more than enough. Getting the possibility of a new life, a better life was what they thrived for. This became an even greater truth as progenitors, the first of their cycle, became scarce. As hundreds of new progenitors were born each century, nowadays, no more than a handful of them appeared every 200 hundreds years. As they represent a new cycle, they embody new opportunities: some progenitors have made kingdoms, others have been their doom. So when four of them appeared at the same place, at the same time, how can it not be perceived as a sign ? A sign that things were about to change…

So, he finds himself in the ruins of the old world, which was much more developed and finds more and more evidence of the terrible secret of the true cause of the fall of the world, which the church so zealously hides. But the second coming gave not only the suffering and wrath of God, but also monsters from mutated animals. In a fight with them, he falls into the eyes of the detachment of the sacred order, after which they, having estimated its potential, take it to themselves and, with their patronage, he enters the academy.
