Chapter 2: Singularity
In the boundless expanse of the void, a figure drifted aimlessly, shrouded in impenetrable darkness.
This being, devoid of physical form, existed solely as a disembodied soul, untethered from the constraints of a mortal vessel.
Lost in the depths of the void, it floated in a state of unconsciousness, adrift in a realm untouched by time or tangible existence.
Within the void, where light dared not penetrate, the face of the soul remained concealed by an eerie obscurity. Darkness clung to it like a suffocating veil, obscuring any discernible features or expressions.
It was a visage devoid of light and life, an enigmatic mask concealed in the depths of the void.
Without a physical body to ground it, the soul seemed weightless, drifting through nothingness with no sense of direction or purpose.
In the silence of the void, whispers of forgotten memories and unfulfilled desires echoed through the soul's unconscious state.
Fragments of experiences danced on the edges of its awareness, fragments that hinted at a forgotten past and an untold story.
With a sudden surge of awareness, the soul's essence flickered to life, pushing against the shroud of unconsciousness that had enveloped it.
Eyes that had long been veiled by darkness blinked open, their gaze searching the emptiness that surrounded them.
' I can't move. Look like my soul got damaged by the spell. I need to do something. I'm losing my strength to open my eyes. ' The soul murmured in silence.

In the vibrant classroom, alive with the chatter of students and the energy of learning, the teacher stood at the front, a beacon of knowledge and guidance.
Their voice resonated with passion and purpose as they delivered the lesson, striving to captivate the minds of their attentive students.
But amidst the sea of engaged learners, one figure stood apart, seemingly oblivious to the captivating discourse unfolding around him.
That figure was Ben, nestled comfortably in his desk, his eyes closed and his breathing steady.
He was drowning in the depth of sleep.
Ben remained lost in his world, unaware of the educational symphony unfolding around him. Dreams wove intricate narratives in his mind, transporting him to distant lands and untold adventures.
From a remote location, a thousand miles away from the classroom, Eon focused their unwavering gaze upon the slumbering figure of Ben.
In a swift motion, Eon extended his hand, releasing a concentrated beam of vibrant purple light.
" Goodbye me. " He chuckled.
The ray surged forward with remarkable speed, defying the limits of human perception. It soared through the expanse, traversing the vast distance as if propelled by an invisible force.

It soared through the expanse, traversing the vast distance as if propelled by an invisible force.
In a fleeting moment, the ray found its mark, connecting with the slumbering form of Ben with pinpoint accuracy.
No one within the classroom bore witness to this attack.
Eon turned around and waved his hand.
The crack in the very fabric of existence opened before him, a gateway to realms beyond mortal comprehension. Its swirling vortex beckoned, offering an escape from the constraints of this world.
Without a backward glance, Eon stepped confidently into the crack.
The space crack sealed shut behind him, leaving no trace of his presence, as if he was but a fleeting mirage in the fabric of reality.
As the purple light ray made contact, a subtle ripple resonated through Ben's slumbering consciousness.
It sparked a profound transformation within him, awakening dormant potential and unlocking the depths of his untapped abilities.
His bloodline awakened, Anodite.
His very essence, his soul, fractured under the weight of an unseen force, sending forth tendrils of darkness that permeated his being.
As the cracks spiderwebbed across his soul, an ominous void emerged, swallowing him whole.
The essence of what once made him human began to slip away, fading into obscurity.
Emotions and the essence of his identity dissipated, leaving behind only remnants of energy and memories.
As he drifted further into the abyss, a profound sense of detachment settled over him.
As Ben drifted farther he met with that soul, the ugly one.
' What is this? A damaged soul like me. No, it is different. He was killed by something. I don't know why you died I must take the thing I need. ' The ugly soul murmured.
Like a sponge, his soul eagerly soaked up the remnants of memories and energy that floated in the void.
Fragmented recollections and residual energies from his past experiences coalesced, merging with his essence and infusing it with their essence.
As the absorption continued, Ben's soul grew in complexity and richness. ( The ugly one is also Ben from another universe.)
The essence of his being expanded, transcending the limitations of his former existence.
In this transformed state, Ben's soul pulsed with a luminescent glow, emanating a radiant aura that resonated with the amalgamation of his absorbed essence.
While he no longer possessed a physical form, Ben's soul became a conduit for the profound energy of existence itself.
It radiated a potent force, a testament to the enduring power of the human spirit and the interconnectedness of all beings.
' My body is destroyed and if I go back Paradox will catch me. So I got one option. Enter the soul I just absorbed. '
Ben's soul glided through the expanse of the void. As he ventured deeper into the ethereal realm, a subtle glimmer caught his attention—a hairline crack that seemed to fracture the very fabric of the void.
As he entered the crack, he felt his soul being absorbed by some force. In an instant, his vision shifted.
The laughter of children could be heard around him, under the stress Ben opened his eyes looking around.
His eyes were lost as if he was drifting in that void. But he knew that he was wrong.
' Finally. I have become a singularity. ' He laughed inwardly.
