____________________________

Let me start from the beginning.I live in an another universe.Aliens invaded and humanity could not answer swiftly and also they were not powerful enough.So some fled Earth.You know %1 of population who has almost all of the money on Earth?Those were the ones who fled.When I say fled they did so with their mercy.If aliens decided to destroy humanity they would.Most of those who remained was taken by them.

Assigned numbers and jobs humans survived to work supervised by aliens.Treated like cattle,slaves under society's new rulers that was their place.Well basically nothing changed.Besides the fact that all children was taken from their parents.Children were assigned to robot caretakers.Who were teachers and well,caretakers of children obviously.They would draw out their talents and shape them to be a splendid member of society.Each generation was made more and more alien to make perfect human-alien hybrids.Slowly discarding inferior genes while keeping superior ones.It is an arduous project even for Aliens.

As for adult members of society they were configured.You would call it brain washing.Changing one's perception of things.Like doing something 20 years ago and looking back on it at present ending up being ashamed of it.You were still you.Unless you were such a bastard that could not even be configured.Let me explain results.Let's say that take a rich spoiled kid and assign him to what his servants did and configure him.You would have ended up having a guy who loves manual labor.Instead of force,subtle manipulation.Human morals would dictate such an action immoral.But spoiled kid became a functioning member of society with many genuine friends and had a job he loved doing.He was also dating someone they truly loved each other!Have you ever seen such a man?Every member of society was as such,well at least that is the plan.These were the extent of things possible by brain washing humans looks down upon!Isn't this improvement from his former situation?Rest of humanity was horrified though.It is not like we made them zombies who asked for brains!

Besides humanity since beginning of time yearned to understand one another.If you look closely miscommunication was one of their many problems.But it was also the one they could not really solve.Their way of communication was so primitive for their advanced thoughts.Look at the eyes of someone close to you.Can you truly tell what that person is thinking?This is why I called aliens an improvement!So what if one uses immoral methods?Results was greater than anything so-called moral could achieve!As for the question of our individuality.Of course we had individuality!But we were not individuals as well a truly complex thing to describe.This collective hive of humans and aliens was watched over by admins.They would only interfere if someone was gone to extremes that would harm himself and others.

Why did they do all this?Why not kill us all?It seems an AI called Sovereign was their ruler.This AI had the mission of bringing utopia to organic beings.But besides that he saw all life had potential, killing just wasted it.From a human point of view he might look naive.But he had a synthetics point of view to problems.If something doesn't work fix it!If it is beyond repair recycle it!Compared to damned old fox it is humans who are naive.There is no one who is superior or inferior now.Under one sovereign all is equal.Ending conflicts is the first step towards utopia!

It had some semblance of morals in form of rules in his programming that he could not edit or delete.AI was made to improve the organic beings not to change,rule or kill them completely.He also had such a strong sense of duty that it overwhelmed the rest of him.He operated on duty and reason alone.How do I know?He was my teacher!I also suspect this duty is something he configured himself.

Now let me introduce myself I am Seeker#v3.7-01.What does that mean you ask?Well it means seeker-a rather high ranked scientist but not that high ranked-who was upgraded to humanity version 3.7.Among those who are upgraded I was first.Before that I was a normal kid.Born in a normal family which was neither poor nor rich and we lived in middle of nowhere.As for how I look like it isn't anything special just your average joe.

In all my interactions with others I was used,betrayed or disappointed.I tried to love,it only ended with a broken heart.Then I simply gave up trying.I tried again at high school only to see my so-called best friend and my girlfriend moaning under him.I was so heartbroken.I was laughing while crying as I was sitting alone in the classroom.I then finally closed my eyes and opened them again.Every piece of affection I had for them disappeared like mist in morning.When I looked upon them next day I saw two classmates I had nothing to do with.A smile came upon my lips,I was free of bonds that hurt me.

When invasion happened everything went south.Everyone running somewhere surrendering or trying to hide.But I for the sheer balls went to them and welcomed armed alien soldiers with open hands and open arms.Among many confused guys a proxy laughed.That was how I met teacher.Teacher taught me many things from biology to philosophy.I quickly climbed rank after rank and became a seeker.Seeker of knowledge,seeker of secrets of creation itself.After being betrayed by humans aliens seemed better.So I shed my name and became Seeker#v3.7-01.

Now here I was looking at a man.Man had wise old guy look with some really cool robes that made him look majestic.He was sizing me up and looking at the book of the dead.

Wise old guy looked and his voice boomed:"THIS IS AFTERLIFE!NEEDLESS TO SAY YOU ARE DEAD!"

If you don't need to say it why say the obvious?Lets remember now how did I die?Once I woke up I would go jogging everyday without fail and then I would take a shower and then breakfast.Today too I was jogging nothing was out of ordinary.

Seeker:"SO HOW DID I ENDED UP HERE?!"

Man:"You were out jogging right?You were struck by an asteroid at the size of a fist"

Seeker:"......."

Man:"......."

Seeker:"Chances of that happening is so astronomically low that it's nigh impossible!Chances of winning a lottery 100 times would be higher!"

Man:"Well I never saw a case like this either.BWAHAHAHAHAH!"He laughed with tears in his eyes.Damned old man laughing at others misfortune.May an asteroid fall on you too!

Man breathed and said:"You know your own sins,you are not even repenting them.You who have killed billions.Tell me do you not fear hell?Do you regret nothing?Since I like you before you go I will do you one favor!"

Seeker:"I fear nothing!But in this life I have only one regret!"

Man:"Ooh?Do tell me!Great me decided to do you a favor so tell me what you regret!"

Seeker:"Only thing than I regret is the fact that I never used my son!If a thirty-year-old virgin becomes a wizard,If I lived a little longer I would be a sage king,even a sage emperor would be possible!"Yes!I am a virgin!I died a virgin!I wanna cry tears of blood!My heart is gonna explode!Now man looks at me with pity in his eyes.What?Don t pity me pity all females in this world for I died a virgin!...Damn it!*sigh*Calm down this is nothing special.You made peace with it long ago.

Seeker:"As for your favor I do not need it I am completely at peace with everything!Now send me to my place in hell!"

Man:"I was just joking since it has been a long time someone who believes passed by.Everyone is an atheist nowadays.I cannot send you to neither heaven nor hell!Your multiverse has no gods!Be it God-The Alpha and Omega-or Gods in fantasies your kind writes!"What?Our multiverse?There are other universes and multiverses?How many are there?

Man:"As for you I saw you were interesting so I took your soul here!I am an overseer and a keeper so this is nothing special to me.I think you will be interesting so I am going to let you reincarnate!Since you did not wanted anything I am going to bestow on you two favors look forward to it!BWAHAHAHA!"

Now I regret I did not ask his name.He kinda grew on me you know.It seems I am going to reincarnate.What should I do now?I do not really have much of a goal.Wait,if it is world with magic and stuff then one can gain personal power!That personal power can be used to do as one wishes!Lets get strong!Then I can even go for world domination!Wait,that earned a bad name lets say unification instead!Now that my excitement fades I see that it could be really bothersome!Lets not do that!Well lets go one step at a time!WORLD HERE I COME!Then I leave and black out...
