2 Leaving the Universe

First Pov

BOOM

Well, not really, there was no sound but it exploded in energy. Time seemed to slow down as is saw the energy start to slowly erode my body upon impact. There was no pain but seeing myself slowly turn to nothing is even worse.

Then everything went black.

I don´t know how much time has passed but when I came to myself I was floating in space with stars, galaxies, and solar systems shining in the dark. I started to panic but no sound came out, should have expected that in space but my mind was kind of occupied at the moment. After a while I calmed down and started to look around and immediately noticed some rather scary facts, I had no body, I could see everything around me from every angle and lastly, I was moving fast.

I knew that distance in space was ridiculously wide but I still saw some stars, planets, and meteors fly past me in just a short time. I must be moving at near, if not at light speed.

I tried looking around to appreciate this beautiful sight as well for a way to escape. I have read many fanfics where the protagonist dies and meets a god or a random omnipotent being who for whatever reason decides to give him wishes or powers. I didn´t believe in god or ROB but now I was really hoping that there was some truth to them as I don´t want to spend the rest of eternity floating in space.

Time passed, I don´t know how long it has been but surely days, maybe weeks, possibly months but still no sight of any being to help me except the occasional lifeforms I see on passing planets. I was beginning to lose hope, the sight of the universe passing by me no longer attracted me and my boredom was killing me. I had the feeling that I was slowly going insane.

Even more time passed, I had long become insane or was I always insane, and only now I'm sane after seeing the truth of the universe? I don´t know, how should I know? I have long forgotten any language I ever knew so in which language am I thinking? Do languages even exist or are they just invented by humans to communicate and convey meaning to each other? Is that the only true language?

Possibly, the more I forgot the more I 'heard' my surroundings. I could hear space moving, time flowing and planets breathing. Am I imagining it? How am I supposed to know, how can anyone know anything for sure? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAH

The more time passed the more I was starting to understand the universe but the things I learned couldn´t be explained or described in any way. Not long ago I started seeing more, shapes and colors were just the beginning. I shouldn´t even be surprised that I was seeing more colors than ever before after all humans only had 3 color cone photoreceptors.

I long stopped seeing myself as human or as a living being in general. I didn´t know what I was but I also knew that I wasn´t dead, I have seen many lifeforms die but none drifted away from their planet. Another thing I learned was that it wasn´t me that was moving but the universe itself, I was merely standing still while space was moving past me.

I was getting bored again, how was I even getting bored after I went insane because of boredom? I was slowly regaining clarity but at the same time, I fell into what could only be described as a daze until I was no longer even conscious.

When I woke up I didn´t see the familiar distant lights in the dark around me. That change startled me but understood the change very quickly. I knew that the universe wasn´t infinite and with it moving past me, it was only a matter of time before I left its boundaries. So here I was outside, not only the universe but reality itself. The Nothingness

I would like to say that a long time passed but it didn´t. Time didn´t exist here only Nothingness that looked blacker than anything humans can imagine, the only indication of time was the occasionally passing universes and sometimes even multiverse, where time did pass. So here I was, nowhere and nowhen, watching as realities passed by in the distance.

Until one reality passed by a little too close. This reality´s route went by me so close that the distance between us was even less than half its size. And then I felt it, something I haven´t felt since I was human and didn´t know I missed. The universe contained an energy that my old one didn´t have and this particular energy pulled me to it.

I WAS MOVING!!!

I WAS MOVING TOWARDS IT!!!

Was I finally going to see something new? I can´t wait to see where this energy ends me up. I didn´t even care if I was going to die or what a horror nightmare reality this could be.

As I was moving closer to its boundaries, I started to grow strangely tired until I once again lost consciousness.
