Chapter 1 - Time's up

Time is infinite.

And I was born with this boon

For me, the world is meaningless.

What is the purpose of life? Why was I born?

Humans are nothing but creatures inventing new paths—all for the sake of pleasure in the end.

We humans do nothing more than craft endless methods to feed our desires.

I stayed away from people—alone, not by chance but by choice—because for me, they are a waste of time.

To me, worldly things—beauty, handsomeness, ugliness, intelligence, being a topper or a loser—were all meaningless.

One day, they will all vanish.

That's the law of this world: everything is temporary.

Apart from this, I like studying mathematics, practicing meditation, and ancient martial arts.

That is all I do, every single day.

It was lunch break.

Laughter echoed in the hallways.

The noise of footsteps, the rustling of lunch packets, and distant shouting filled the school.

But inside the classroom, on the first bench, a boy lay with his head resting on the desk.

Not because he was tired, but because he was hiding from people and their voices on the stairs.

He didn't speak. Some said he couldn't.

Others said he simply didn't care.

His bench was near the door.

Two junior girls came into the classroom and walked out again.

I headed towards the library when a few girls started walking behind me quietly.

It felt normal.

They always do this.

I reached the library.

The library is where I find peace and knowledge—

far from the noise of the world

and the gaze of others.

I went to a quiet place and sat down with a book.

I really like reading old, ancient books and smelling them.

People create their own gods, the god who will fulfill all their wishes.

But in reality,

such gods do not exist.

I learn lots of things from old ancient books—

a simple way of thinking,

and a way of thinking beyond.

In this universe,

there are thousands of suns,

lakhs of different types of countless worlds.

I believe there is a world where magic exists,

and people like me exist—

people who have powers like mine

"Bring Bring" School lunch break is over .

Then, I calmly walked back toward the classroom.

I never understood the teachings at school.

After all the classes were finally over, the school day ended.

I was on my way home when I noticed a truck speeding toward a group of cows standing in the middle of the road.

My eyes widened, and a strange light flashed within them—a light as bright as the sun. Without wasting a single second, I rushed forward and pulled the cow away from the road . 

My heart pounded wildly in my chest.

I was terrified.

For the first time… I had used this power on my own.

It was a frightening moment—one I had always dreaded. I had never dared to use it before.

I still remember the moment I was born. It was raining heavily that day, and the wind howled like a raging beast.

When I came into this world, I cried—not because I was just a newborn, but because I had no one.

And in that moment… world itself had stopped.

I couldn't understand what was happening. I cried and kept crying. It was terrifying.

Since that day, I've always feared this power .

By the time I reached home, my body felt heavy.

I lay down on my bed… and before I knew it, I had fallen asleep.
