Chapter 5 - Study

"Pleased to meet you, my name is Arthur Miller, I was born in the United States, more precisely in Texas, I was born and lived until I was 12 in an orphanage, there I was adopted by a woman named Liza, along with me, another girl was adopted, her name was Alice, from when I was 3 years old, I demonstrated to have an intellect above other children, at the age of 4 I already spoke 5 languages, at 10 I had already entered college, and at 20 I was getting my doctorate in biomedicine and mechanical engineering, at 22 I created a machine capable of transforming the carbon dioxide into oxygen. " Clenching my fists tightly and tears threatening to come out of my eyes, I continued.

"When I was about to finish my doctorate, my adoptive mother died of brain cancer, I was devastated, all the knowledge I had was useless, so I focused all my days on trying to find a cure, so that people wouldn't have to go through what I went through, and at 28 years old, I discovered the cure for cancer, and so that people with the intention to profit from this cure, I published all the research publicly, so that everyone could have access, on the day that I published the research, some men tried to kill me when I was leaving home, one of the bullets perforated my lung, I was in a coma for 1 day, and died on the other. " When I finished speaking, Jesus next to me pulled me into a hug.

"Your mother would be proud of you, Arth" Jesus said to me.

"Thank you sir" I said to him.

The moment I finished hugging Jesus, the people below the stage started clapping.

"Welcome" shouted the people.

"Thank you very much" I spoke smiling as I wiped my watery eyes.

"Let's eat" Gandhi spoke up.

Assenting, we walked down from the stage towards a table, the table had six seats, two of them were occupied, by a woman and another man.

"Come Arth, let me introduce you, this is

Marie Currie, and this is her husband, Pierre Currie" spoke Gandhi.

"Nice to meet you Arthur" spoke the Man and the woman.

"The pleasure is all mine, the two of you are one of my main inspirations for the machine I created." He said smiling at the two.

"We want you to explain to us later, how you managed to turn the carbon dioxide into Oxygen" spoke Marie.

"Sure, if you can teach me your knowledge, I would be very grateful." I said to them.

"Agreed," said Marie.

...

After eating, I went to meet the rest of the staff, and I asked them if they could pass on their knowledge to me ,Einstein was elated to exchange ideas with me.

[ My Diary ]

It's been a few years since I came to this plane, I have met extraordinary people, and amazingly enough, they all fraternize together, and very rarely do any fights occur, years ago I began my education with the scholars.

I learned everything they could teach me, I absorbed everything like a sponge, that's the advantage of having a photographic memory.

Mathematics, physics, chemistry, oriental medicine, botany, and various other things.

Today Solomon, Nicholas Flamel, Falk, Paracelsus, Agrippa and Aleister Crowley have offered to teach me magic, alchemy and Astrology.

After these studies, I will study management, economics, politics, and everything that a monarch should know, they said it is good to have on the curriculum.

No, I understood why they said that the studies about war and training should be the last.

...]

More years passed, I finished my studies today, tomorrow I start learning about the art of war, and combat training and everything involving battles.

Arriving at the designated place, it was a flat field, the place was far away from the city, it had an archery training ground, some training dolls, about 5 tatami, and other training equipment, a little further away, there was house.

When I arrived, I spotted some people waiting for me, getting closer, Ragnar came to meet me.

"Arthur, you're finally here, you're late." Ragnar said.

"I'm sorry," I said.

"From today on you will no longer apologize, you are a very good person, Arthur" said Ragnar.

"Thank you, sir" I replied.

"That was not a compliment brat, good people are the first to die, good people are used by others, kill the boy and let the man be born" spoke Ragnar looking deep into my eyes.

"Yes, sir"

"I will only ask you once, are you willing to be trained by all of us, and accept our teachings, But be aware, from the moment you agree, you cannot leave." Ragnar asked.

"I am willing sir," I said resolutely.

"Then it is closed, from this moment we will train you, keep in mind boy, you will never be the same from here on. Said Ragnar with amusement in his eyes.

And that was how my purgatory began.
