Chapter 1 - The Eternal Trench

INTRODUCTION: this story is a blend of philosophy and understanding of a human, it includes the qus that arises in mind of the man yet he fails to answer them. It's not a manga nor a story , it defies the normal logic and it's just a readable compilation of thoughts that occur in my mind.

Characters :-

1.) main character , the loneliest man ,he wants to find answer to his question and satisfy himself as he assume he will find peace from it.

2.) God of wisdom , it's an eternal entity not a body but something present everywhere in every cosmos, you can hear him in your mind when you are standing in the cosmic ocean of wisdom

...

Once there a man lived in a normal world with not so normal things, the man always wondered about his own qus, including different expects which made him curious about everything but as he walked into the cave of those qus he was filled with sadness and despair, those questions interrupted his life, they surrounded him like grim reaper.neither he would sleep nor he would be happy he just wanted a conclusion for himself and that had grown into meaning of his life , there was no one to say hi , no one to laugh with , no one to love , his life was like a never ending spiral everything was same everyday he would wake up , go to work , wonder about his qus and spent his time in his world and would die to sleep, everything felt like a lucid dream, the PPL around him didn't existed they were like zombies without chains just going through the day, for him the world was like a fainted piece of art, everything was blurry the PPL would go around him without noticing him whether outside or at work, thing were same for him difference between reality and delusion was disappearing.

He didn't cared about the people around him he used to live in his own world yet he was sad in his own dream, the curiosity and the need for the answers made him search everything, he would read books about them as many as he can the library's were his new home , and so days passed searching for his answers and ones he got were just like cracked paint on wall but at last there was one library left in his city, he went there and took all the books regarding his interest, reading them he spent a whole day without sleeping, eating or even drinking water it was almost like he would die anytime but...then the treasure he was waiting for came to him it was like a shower on dry land he found a book which stated that he could travel anywhere in world with help of a place, including the land of wisdom. there was not much knowledge about it but it was known to give answers to any question of man, things were little strange as the book had the exact coordinate of the location through which he would continue his journey going there it was easy for him, to get there he ventured out of the city into a deep forest reaching the place through a rough drive, he found a stone hinge, it looked like they were hundreds of year old stone grinded by the shower but more than being a old place there was nothing he had the book with himself, reading it through he found, to visit where he actually wants to, he needed to wait here,there was no info for how long but it was nothing for him he could wait there as much as it took, he was just sitting there and hrs and hrs passed, sun started setting and then the area around stone henge was getting cold but the man felt thirsty, and then without any notice a entity appeared, he was long with old clothes his body was white and he had neithermmouth nor any eyes it sounds scary but his charisma made the environment blossom, the man had went to drink water from his car with which he came. coming back he saw the entity but again he wasn't scared but curious about it going there the entity moved to him talking to him telepathically he asked him "where is your goat" , it sounded crazy to him but the man wanted to know his identity and as asking for his intro the entity titled itself as "the guardian" , the guardian asked again where is your goat, the man answered ignoring his qus, one of the book he found at library made his way here and he wanted to go to the place where he could get his answers ,with a strike in guardians mind he started explaining that the book he found help people in need it only reaches to the few who actually need it only 3 people till now found it hearing all this man asked about what goat is he talking about, the guardian asked if he had readen the book, man said not full. the guardian explained to him if he want to go to the place he is seeking he need a sacrificial goat they are choosed according to place, and for a place full of wisdom the man needed to kill someone precious to him , the man in shock couldn't believe it he quickly opened the book finding the richual, he wasn't scared because he needed to kill someone but he was because there wasn't anybody belonging to him no friends no family it was himself and all the work till now would be a waste for him explaining it to guardian, the guardian said he needs to kill himself then. this is the only way but how can he get what he want after killing himself. For that guardian said he can leave the place and forget it forever if he can't, but there was no place for him to go with some thought of discussion he agreed. The guardian was little shocked how quick he was with his judgement, the guardian gave him a knife it was a long obsidian knife ready to cut anything the man wanted to make it quick and painless so he pointed it on his brain and and with a loud scream he slashed himself... but as the man thought he died there was no pain, assuming it was actually painless but the knife also disappeared the man silently saw guardian, even without any face he felt like he was smiling the guardian congratulated him that he passed the test , the man asked what sort of test in response guardian said this test is very necessary as to test the craveness and hunger of the traveler if he actually wants to go to the his destination, he had that fire in himself as he agreed and had just killed himself, that's why only 3 PPL ever passed it, then guardian spoke a spell making that man go dizzy mad pass out, he woke up in mist standing up he remembered the guardian earlier told him about the place he was going there was a deity known as the "god of wisdom" , he had eternal knowledge about universe, he could answer all the qus ever created by anyone he lies in the cosmic ocean of wisdom present in a unknown part of the universe,

Knowing it the man was filled with a little joy and a little happiness that he will get his answers, somehow he travel through the dust and cold emptiness of the universe reaching the gates of the kingdom where the god of wisdom lives.

The kingdom was made of pure gold with majestic doors and it was like a heaven for the man but there was no guard to stop him as he moved forward the doors opened on their own showing the massive kingdom from inside , there were big chairs made out of gold , so big it looked like they were made for titans but there was nobody inside there too. the kingdom was empty everywhere no sign of life just the man standing there but he wasn't sad about it, the atmosphere there was different from his world wondering about all this suddenly, the man heard a voice in his mind "welcome to the kingdom of the wisdom fellow human" the man stunned and thought how is it happening the voice continued by saying you should not worry about what you can't understand instead you should worry about what you can, ask your question, the man asked to the voice who are you and why is this place empty, with a sec of silence the voice explained this is the kingdom of wisdom there are no guards on the door because wisdom is something which can't be guarded it lies for everyone who wants to acquire it and there were no guards ; therefore you are here for same reason and as of your second question I am the "god of wisdom" the man was shocked a little but the voice continued I am not like how a being imagine me I am wisdom I lie everywhere in the universe I am not being bounded by any force as everything we know is wisdom and everything is wisdom itself...

Realising it the man felt a sense of accomplishment as he thought this is the right place for his answers , then the god asked what is your first question, the man without a second thought asked what is hell and heaven and went quite, the voice spoke and explained nothing like hell or heaven exist, your world is complete in itself, if a child born in your world doesn't know about hell or heaven and he grow up he have choice, what he wants to be a person with dishonesty and dark intentions which will eventually make this world hell for him or same child grow and learns about ideals and kindness will have this world as heaven but you come in none of them though this world is hell for you , you have cursed yourself with knowledge and your question are turning into disease if you forget about all the things and just admire the beauty around you, then you can find the happiness you came here for.

The man hearing all those things went in a deep thought himself realising everything he was doing was not necessary for him and he can still live a better life hiding these scars forever...but he needs to take all his anxiety out, the man then continues and ask his second question what is death ? and why does it discriminate the evil ones and kind ones the kind PPL don't deserve the pain of death. and then he went quite, the guardian with a deep voice spoke that death is something which is important for every being in the world and it's better than life in some ways, imagine if a man who is gonna die soon and is scared of it attains a life of 1 million years, that time will be no better than hell for him the ones he know will go but not him, going through it again and again. But instead if he achieve death he will get a new chance a new life for himself free from all the "maya" of this world and for the evil the death is a punishment as well as a chance a chance for a better life , better than before , that's why death is imp but... for you dying is not an option you need to die in this life and reborn as a new person a new character. that is your way to free yourself,the only way. the man was tearing up his face was stunned with the answers he never expected them he couldn't stop him self he and without hesitation.....
