Path of Absolute Transcendence

The classroom resonates with the joyful laughter of the boys and the lively chatter of the girls. Unlike the others, there is a solitary boy seated in quiet contemplation at the corner of his desk. His name is Kai. He's an ordinary young man without any speciality.

He's currently pursuing his master's degree. Throughout his life, nothing special happened. Yet, he seemed endlessly surrounded by bad luck.

From a very young age up to the present, Kai did not enjoy life as his classmates did. Facing the harsh realities of life, he sought solace by immersing himself in web novels. Those moments were the only times he felt genuinely happy.

At the age of thirteen, his father passed away, leaving his mother alone to support him. The loss was incredibly difficult for both Kai and his mother, and it deeply affected the course of his life.

But again, a misfortune happened when Kai was eighteen years old. His mother passed away due to depression and stress. It was sad for Kai to live alone without his parents. But after a period of recuperation, he sold the property and started studying at college.

Eventually, he completed his bachelor's degree and applied for a master's degree.

Now he is pursuing his master's in biology. He has a keen interest in the human body, so he applied in this field.

"Hey Kai, the classes are over. Why are you sitting here alone?" Asked Sam, who was his only close friend.

"Well, I was just thinking about what to do with my life, as I have no idea what to do in the future," He replied with a sigh.

"How about you find a girlfriend? It may give you motivation to find a goal,"

Kai looked at Sam for a moment and replied "You know, Sam, nobody will love me because of my status." His tone showed that he had given up on finding a girlfriend.

What Kai said reflects a harsh truth about society. Often, girls tend to choose someone with good status or influence as their first preference.

During one's school days, love is often mistaken for mere attraction, with a few exceptions. Kai, but, did not consider himself an exception. Upon entering college, he gained insight into societal realities. He realized that people are unlikely to entrust their future to someone who has little.

With only the money from selling the inherited property to his parents, Kai didn't have much to offer.

He knows that no one will choose him. This is because they see him as unattractive. Initially, this reality was difficult for him to accept, but eventually, he came to terms with it.

"Sorry for that, Kai. I hope you will find someone for yourself. "Sam looked at him with pity and apologized honestly.

"Okay, don't worry about that. What's happening will always happen. Come on, let's go home." With that he took his bag, ready to leave the class.

After packing their belongings, both Kai and Sam began their walk home. Kai's house was close to the college. Sam's place was a bit farther but still within walking distance. They often made this journey together.

Upon arriving home, Kai felt utterly exhausted. He prepared his dinner and, once finished, retreated to his bedroom. The weariness of the day quickly overcame him, and he fell into a deep sleep.

Suddenly, a loud noise jolted Kai awake. He switched on the lights. But, he found an alarming sight: four armed men in his room. Fear gripped him as he wondered what had brought them there.

"Who are you guys? Why are you in my house?" Kai asked in a panic. Never in his wildest dream, did he expect someone to rob him.

"Where did you store the money?" One guy who, looked like leader asked in an emotionless tone.

"What money...? I don't have any money on me." Kai replied with a forced smile, his hands trembling in fear.

Kai didn't want to reveal the location of the money; he needed them to have a stable future, so lied to them.

"Don't lie to me. We have already done a background check on you. You sold your parents' properties just three years ago. You couldn't possibly spent all the money because you only paid your tuition fees."

Kai wondered who the intruders were. And, how they had gotten his personal information. Were they affiliated with a criminal gang? Their presence, armed with guns, sent shivers down his spine.

The fact that they had entered his home without him noticing raised even more questions. Why had they targeted him? After all, he possessed only a modest sum of money—a seemingly insignificant amount. The risk they were taking seemed disproportionate to their potential gain.

Fear and confusion swirled in Kai's mind. He grappled with the sudden danger that had invaded his peaceful life.

Kai was desperate to call for help. He carefully retrieved his mobile phone from under the blanket. He hoped to dial the emergency number without alerting the intruders.

"He he he ha!, I know what you are thinking from your expression. Do you want to know why we are targeting you instead of some super-rich family?" He sneered and amusement was evident on his face.

"Yeah, I want to know," Kai replied. He also tried to distract them to call for help from the phone without anyone noticing. He used his hands under the blanket to take the mobile phone and tried to call the emergency number.

"That's because you're nobody." He spoke while looking down on Kai.

Kai seethed with anger, but he couldn't deny the truth. In this dire situation, nobody would come to his aid. His insignificance made him unimportant. He wondered if someone would care if they killed him.

Despite the sadness that washed over him, Kai knew he had to find a solution. Death loomed. The leader's tone suggested he would kill Kai to avoid future problems.

Kai asked, "If I tell you where the money is hidden, will you spare my life?" His trembling fingers typed the emergency number on the phone.

Before he could finish his plea, the leader fired a shot directly into Kai's forehead. The room spun. Kai's eyes remained wide open. His final thoughts were lost in the darkness that enveloped him.

Endless VOID

Void is a term that is very familiar to most people, which means ' empty space' but that is only for the ignorant. The Void is the birthplace of all things, including the entire universe.

It is the mother of all things in existence, and it is also the most dangerous place that can annihilate anything in existence.

There are only a few people capable of traveling in the Void. If anyone enters the void, except for a few beings, they will face annihilation.

In the void, nothing exists, not even the time and space that are said to be present in all places. But in such a place, an ordinary mortal soul was sleeping peacefully.

Suddenly, a white light appeared. The soul instinctively acted and moved towards the light. After that, the soul and light disappeared together.

After the soul disappeared, the void shook. It seemed angry. But, after a few seconds, it returned to its previous calmness. A small fragment then floated in the void, traveling in the same direction as the soul.
