Chapter 7 - The False Memory I

A vision appear right before Karl while he is sleeping, a vision that supposed to be something like a sight of the future—however, what appeared isn't someone casual at all.

It is the vision of the falseness and trueness. Karl own mind recreated a physical form of himself into the place where he thought it's just a normal dream—shockingly, in the empty void where nothing lurk beyond perception. There appear a destruction in which, it causes millions to billions of internal creation to exist. It is the universe itself. The Physical World in which, it is the material, perceptible reality in which we exist.

Thousands to millions of galaxies was born in a second, and it continuously surpassing the range of millions itself—Karl Friedrich perceiving everything all at once, he view everything as if it is a mere birth of existence.

"I am isolated from the rest of humanity, and here I am. The only man, the only specimen in the universe who perceiving and observing as everything inside the universe started to born."

He flew around the entire vast space where creation flows through the vacuum, as he continued to travel through the boundless space—he saw the milky way where he saw it is not complete as how everyone knew in the current life. As soon as he stare onto the galaxy that wasn't completed, countless dust and other particles form into a sun and the rest of those microscopic and large size of dust, stone and gas form multiple planets.

The solar system that contained the sun, mercury, the earth, venus, jupiter, mars, uranus, saturn and neptune began to form after million of millions years went by—and time kept going forward. Karl saw the earth in the volcano form where flames and lava occur making it a hot burning planet, and it turned into less blazing.

It went through many seasons of multiple changed, the ice age and then the homo neanderthalensis and as time going forward—the first homosapiens exist. Karl stood before the first homosapiens and he take out his hand to touch the creature. However, before he could even make a contact with it—time accelerate continuously until he was brought to Jerusalem and he saw multiple people get crucified just outside the city walls at a site called Golgotha. He saw a familiar man, the brown shades skin tone and a dark brown eyes and having a thorns around his head in a shape for a crown. Karl tries to get a good look into the man face.

He move closer to look into the man, but the vision is blurry and the sun blaze makes the man faca covered in shadow—Karl calmly calling the man by guessing the name.

"J..Jesu—"

Right before he could finish saying what he intended to speak, time went forward again and bringing him to the year of 1090s~1100. Karl noticed his surroundings and the environment around him, he realized he had been transported to a country called Holy Roman Empire in the Central Europe.

He took a step forward in the empire and saw lots of people that are struggling and others who is screaming and doing their usual jobs. He look at one of the largest building that seemed to be a place of the Emperor—Karl begin to think something that make him suspicious of one thing, 'Why does his own mind brought him here, no. More precisely is why does he able to replicate the exact same scenario in the past life although he hadn't be born yet.'

Karl begin to processing numerous probabilities inside his head and connecting every scenarios and his memories into many fragments of probabilities—exactly around 918,920,888,013 scenarios inside his mind and deduce everything based on his own experience inside those and separate part of his memories that isn't necessary. In just five seconds he has deduced all the billions numbers of memories from his mind into 210 different outcomes, and he continued to keep deducing using logical reasoning and literally inhuman analysis in his mind.

After another three seconds, he soon realized that there's something missing from all of those memories that he had deduced, 210 different outcomes of memories and there's only 208 memories that are connected like a string hold onto one another, and the other 2 memories of his isn't accurately as how it supposed to be like the rest—he had forgotten something, which he thought to himself.

"Abnormal, why...why is there two memories of mine that is like bugging, like a systme that has an error? This isn't possible, I have perfect eidetic memory. This wasn't supposed to be happening, unless...this whole time I spent my time on, it was all just false."

That's when he realized one thing, the memories of his when he was alongside with his friend, and the rest was false including when he was in the office doing his usual activity—he had been living in a false life that he wasn't even sure if it was true.

"Why is there something missing in my mind? It is as if, everything in here that is currently occur are all fake...no... everything for the past few days are all fake."

Karl stared around and saw the other people's who were previously doing their own business suddenly staring at him, every single one of them stood still like a mannequin—when out of sudden, there's a little girl walk toward him. The girl say in a cold straight tone.

"I couldn't find my mommy...do you know where is your mommy?"

Karl look at the little girl and her face changed, it melts like a liquid. Then she grab a dagger out of her pocket and stab him on the abdomen—she continue to stabbing him over and over again, and the other people rush towards him and begin to attack him. They stab him on his abdomen part and slashes it open making his intestines falling out of his body and drop to the ground, Karl mouth begin the be cover in his own blood. Without any second spared by them, his chest get cut open and his arms to his limbs get chopped off.

Karl tried to scream as it is the survival instinct to do, but his throat was cut by a homeless man who is holding a knives. A minute went by and he is still alive except most part of his body get chopped off—he is bleeding and the ground made out of rocks was covered by his blood, the ground itself were in the color of a crimson. His eyes let out a tear, a tear of blood. Gradually, his eyes slowly close itself and he dies being killed by them in a gruesome way to be killed.
