The light in Vincent's eyes vanished as he lay in sobbed Anna's arms.
"No… this is just a dream… this is not real… yes, just a dream. Just one of my nightmares… I need to wake up, yes… I need to," Anna refused to believe that her son, her husband just died in front of her.
She covered her right hand with a sharp compressed Wind and without hesitation sent it towards her forehead.
Since it's a dream, this is the fastest way to end it.
When her hand-blade was about to touch her forehead, the hand stopped. Anna froze in place, the sobbed girls also froze as if someone pressed the pause button.
Falling snow too stopped in mid-air.
The atmosphere on SkyWorld planet turned red.
Quadrillions of various beasts on the surface of the plane trembled as the weak one hid while strong roared towards the crimson sky.
They all felt that someone or something was descending.
…
Right, near-dead Vincent, emerged a being that he met after his birth into this world.
The transparent humanoid-like creature with bright white eyes appeared in front of Vincent as his foot fingers slowly touched the ground.
"..."
"Vincent… you did well. Your strive towards surpassing limits without fear of death is respectful. But your body is not ready for such spells that allow you to jump 2 ranks ahead while being in the 2nd rank yourself without paying a deadly price," said calmly 'God' and pointed his finger at Vincent.
After 'God' pointed at Vincent, the space and time laws were distorted.
*Sound of ticking time*
Vincent's body started to restore that could be seen by the naked eye.
*Badum*
…
In a minute.
"Haaaa….haaaa," Vincent's eyes suddenly moved as he woke up and took deep breaths.
He looked into the red sky and then at himself.
He can't believe it. He died just like that. He almost left his girls alone here.
"Still alive… I was healed? But I can't be healed in such a short time," he saw that his body was completely normal before noticing that he was in someone's embrace.
He looked behind and his heart trembled.
He saw Anna try committing suicide by almost piercing her head with her hand.
His eyes tear up as he closes them.
"Bastard. Look what you've done," Vincent cursed himself.
He opened them and looked at Anna's teary face that was smiling in despair.
Vincent stretched his right hand and wiped her tears before leaving her embrace and standing up.
"So it was with your help after all," said Vincent calmly, turning back.
He saw the being standing 5 meters away from him. The being that bring him into this world, the 'God'. It looked just like it did in the past.
"Thank you."
Vincent sincerely bowed. If not for his help, he would be dead.
"..."
Vincent didn't say anything else and just waited.
"Do you want to know who I truly am, David?"
The 'God's' voice sounded in the void.
Vincent looked into those bright white eyes, his body still shivered as at their first meeting.
"Yes," Vincent nodded.
"..."
After a pause, he heard its voice.
"The human race on Earth managed to find something in the centre of our Galaxy...you know what it is?" the 'God' asked Vincent as his white eyes looked at him.
"Supermassive Black Hole?" said Vincent as he remembered some scientific discoveries from Earth.
"Yes, it is one of its names. The Supermassive Black Hole that holds our galaxy together from falling apart. Do you know what is within it?" said 'God'.
"A singularity?" answered Vincent.
"Yes and no. There is… Me."
*Badum*
Vincent's eyes widened and his heart skipped a beat.
The supermassive black hole in the centre of the Milky Way Galaxy contains a 'God' within…
He was interested in science when he was on Earth so he knew a bit about the so-called black holes.
Don't let the name fool you: a black hole is anything but empty space. Rather, it is a great amount of matter packed into a very small area - think of a star ten times more massive than the Sun squeezed into a sphere approximately the diameter of New York City.
Most black holes form from the remnants of a large star that dies in a supernova explosion. (Smaller stars become dense neutron stars, which are not massive enough to trap light.) If the total mass of the star is large enough (about three times the mass of the Sun), it can be proven theoretically that no force can keep the star from collapsing under the influence of gravity. However, as the star collapses, a strange thing occurs. As the surface of the star nears an imaginary surface called the "event horizon," time on the star slows relative to the time kept by observers far away. When the surface reaches the event horizon, time stands still, and the star can collapse no more - it is a frozen collapsing object.
Black holes shouldn't contain life within them.
Such information is still in my memory from Wikipedia.
"When a lot of small and middle-sized black holes merge into one, the result would be the formation of a supermassive black hole.

The moment a supermassive black hole is formed, the compressed matter within was enough to nourish the singularity in the centre.
After a billion years of nourishment, I was born.
I am one of the members of Chaos Race.
I don't have a name, but you can call me… Zarack.
Our race has a "Perfect" affinity towards all basic elements.
Space-Time laws also become under our rule, to some extent of course.
We were born already with the 11th rank in body cultivation.
We don't have a physical body as most of the life forms had, it's not from WE either, our bodies are created from dark energy that fills the Universe.
At 10th rank, WE (World Essence from planet/star cores) are not enough anymore to reach 11th rank.
To reach the 11th rank, a person needs to replace 100% of WE (that previously was used to replace the flesh) with DE(Dark Energy).
Since we are born of DE, we instantly reach 11th rank upon birth, but our elemental system is not.
The matter and energy contained within the supermassive black hole are so dense that it allows us to instantly reach the 11th rank in all elements the moment we decide to absorb them.
We can't surpass the 11th rank. We don't know how.
But all of this is useless since we can't… leave the black hole.
We are born there, live there, and will die there with it if we do not find a way to leave it in time when the matter within starts to evaporate making the black hole shrink.
What you see in front of you is not me, but just my method of communication through the 5th dimension. It also allows me to use my powers to some extent.
I want to leave, I want to find others from my race, and also want to find… "Him"," said Zarack with desire as he raised his head and looked deeply into the space above.
'Him? Is he talking about…' thought Vincent before he was interrupted.
"Yes, David. The "Him" is the only one who had the 12th rank as I guess.
I'm talking about... the Creator, the Architect, the Primordial Being, the Origin God, the All-Father of everything that exists in the Universe.
He has many names.
I am not even sure if the "Creator" even exists, but from observation I've done for millions of years, I've found that the Universe is just too...perfect to be born by chance.
"He" should be there… in the centre of the Universe, so far away from here that it's hard to imagine, David, and I have a lot of questions without an answer," said Zarack as he pointed into the sky.
After a few seconds, Zarack looked back at Vincent.
"You're not the first one who I've brought here. They all were somewhat like you, David. But all of them failed on the road by dying or disappointed me by rejecting the offer.
Some of them were corrupted with power and abandoned the strife that was heading towards the peak without even reaching the 6th rank.
Some others even reached the 9th rank, but after they heard what I wanted from them, they rejected it.
Some of them died long ago, and some are still alive. They live the life of Kings/Queens and Emperors/Empresses on this planet.
All of them were given a choice without consequences, but all of them still disappointed me in the end.
I will not blame you if you chose the same way as them.
But if you go this way, I will not restore Alina's memories, who is currently at South Icy Plane.
I need the help of the 10th ranked person to leave the black hole. The moment you reach 10th rank, I will arrive again and if you agree to help me, I will create a wormhole for you that will bring you through space-time to me.
I will possess your body through the 5th dimension that will allow me to leave the black hole.
Only the 10th ranked being could contain me within.
Don't be scared by the word "possession". This would be a temporary measure.
When I possess your body, I will raise your rank to 11th by replacing WE with DE and also teach you the space-time laws.
After that, we will head towards the supermassive black hole in the centre of the nearby galaxy, "Andromeda", to find my fellow race member trapped there.
I will release him as we will merge into one.
He would not reject it since freedom for us is everything.
After that, we would create another body of DE for us to take. When that happens, we both would leave your body to take the new one and your job would be over.
After we take a new body, we will head towards the centre of the Universe in hope of finding the Architect.
You would be free to go home with 11th rank and space-time laws as a reward.
Your lifespan would become as long as the Universe itself. You would not need any more that inferior WE energy, and would only need DE instead. You should know that the Universe is filled with DE at around 70%, so you would achieve eternal life.
Currently, you are only at 2nd rank. You just stepped onto this road and the 10th rank is far away from you. You have a lot of time to spend before you come to a decision, but you need to know that I will not save again even if you accept my offer, remember it," said Zarack calmly as he looked deeply into Vincent's red eyes.
Vincent was overwhelmed and fell silent. He turned back to glance at his wives that we were frozen in time.
He took a deep breath.
"How long will that journey take?"
Zarack slowly looked up.
"With the constant usage of the wormhole, it should take around… 10 000 years just to reach the nearest "Andromeda" galaxy."
Vincent's heart fell.
"Don't worry. Even if you can't bring them with us, you can freeze them in a time coffin when you reach the 10th rank. It will allow them to live 20 000 years without aging. They will just fall asleep and when you come back to unseal them, they will feel that you didn't go anywhere at all," said Zarack to reassure him as he moved to stand to the right side of him.
"..."
Vincent looked at his girls before looking high into the sky.
After he took a deep breath, his lips moved.
