Chapter 1: The secret

Chapter 1: The secret

March 25 2019, inside a sixty square meters apartment in Beijing, a young man was gazing at the busy street from the window, his expression was dull and indifferent.

The apartment was at the tenth floor of a modern building, don’t look at its small size, but its price is high, the capital Is becoming more and more expensive as china economy rises and more people relocate.

The young man name is Allen Long, he is an American Chinese and lived overseas for 20 years before coming to china.

His parents immigrated a long time ago to America and opened a restaurant in Chinatown before slowly developing a small chain of Chinese food.

They made quite a lot of money and lived a happy life with their son but no one is safe from tragedies, when Allen graduated from high school, his parents had a car accident and died instantly when being hit by a truck in the highway, half of the car was unrecognizable.

The accident and the death of his parents was a hard blow to the young Allen, he became depressed for a long time before resorting to extreme sports to numb his feelings and forget his sadness.

Allen sold the chain of restaurants and with prior sums of money in his parent account he didn’t have to be bothered to work and had the possibility to live comfortably until he dies but he sold the house and all the properties and embarked on a journey of extreme sports.

Hiking, climbing mountains, going into the jungle, surviving in the wild and even skydiving Allen wanted to try everything there is to forget the pain, the pain of losing the most important people in his life.

His character changed and he became introverted and never spoke easily, for four years he matured and even his appearance somewhat changed , Chinese people have delicate features contrary to westerners and Asian people height was shorter than other races but living in America Allen height reached 1.9 meters and thanks to the intense physical activity he had done over the years , his body was full of tempered muscles and was tough.

He changed from a lively 18 years old high schooler to a taciturn and tough man.

Allen turned his sight to the calendar hanging on the wall and for a moment his expression briefly changed, his eyes were full of complex feelings.

No one would ever in their slightest imagination would have known what would happen a month from now, and no one would have thought that only one person in the world knows an important secret that could shock the entire world, that person is Allen.

Allen, in his innumerable outings and journeys discovered a huge secret, an unbelievable information that let him sluggish for many days without reaction.

The last trip that Allen made was Antarctica, he wanted to challenge the extreme environment and venture in this frozen world, first he went to Australia and from Australia he departed by boat to the Casey base situated on the northern side of the bailey peninsula on the Budd coast.

From the Casey base he started a lone journey toward the inland territory of Antarctica, four eskimo dogs for transportation was his only living companions.

The harsh conditions would make any normal person incomparably suffer but Allen liked this sensation, he liked the feeling of challenging his limits, it made him feel alive and forget many things, humans are fragile beings but are also strong and resilient and have immense potential in them.

After a week of travel and going deep in the white world Allen had an accident, he and his four dogs walked on a fragile ice sheet and fell inside a huge underground cave, thanks to the snow and ice reducing the possibility of injuries Allen escaped death but unfortunately one of his dogs died.

Burying the dog Allen proceeded to explore the cave, the place was extremely big, at least thousands of meters deep and dozens of kilometres wide.

The cave was dim but thanks to the big hole that Allen fell from, the light slightly illuminated the surroundings.

Looking around Allen usual cold face changed radically, his eyes became wide and his mouth was gaping, he became extremely shocked at the sight in front of him.

A huge smooth wall stood erect and bizarre small building were scattered around, the wall was full of strange inscriptions and drawings, but what was even amazing is the clear and precise cuts on the stone wall, the engravings were like art.

In the buildings a multitude of gems and golden objects were laying and frozen by time, Allen can be sure that those gems were rubies, diamonds, emeralds, sapphire and even jade and the golden objects were in fact made of gold.

Allen was stunned there was at least tons and tones of precious gems and pure gold, this was a wealth that can’t be imagined.

This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.

Allen resisted the immense shock in his heart and walked toward the stone wall , many of the inscriptions were a strange language , he didn’t have the ability to understand but what caught his attention is the Arabic numbers , he was sure that this is like Arabic numbers , there was the number 3,6 and 9 engraved many times and even the 0 but the others weren’t quite the same but he could conclude that this was probably the rest of the other numbers.

This was amazing, Allen wasn’t a history nerd but he knew many things thanks to his traveling around the world, for example the earliest evidence of humans counting was an Ishango bone in Congo from twenty thousand years ago.

But the weird thing here is that the formation of the ice sheet are said by scientists to have begun approximatively 45.6 millions of years ago , how could a ruin be existing here for millions of years , its impossible, Allen has a theory but he doesn’t know if its true, he thinks that the ice sheet formation date is probably wrong and could be more recent than scientists have thought.

One thing is certain is that this ruin dates more than 10 000 years and even more, numbers and basic calculations are known to have been used in ancient Egypt but not with the complexity and precision that are demonstrated on this stone wall.

Allen decided to further examine the wall and looked at the drawings, drawings were always a method for a civilisation to depict historic moments.

Looking at the clear preserved drawings Allen froze, for a man that thought that nothing could faze him, that day his brain short-circuited several times.

Among the many drawings, Allen saw many familiar things, like the pyramids, the sphinx, the pyramid of the sun in Mexico but what shocked him more is a map.

The map was the actual map of the current world, how can ancient people have a such a detailed map of the world with their technology, it’s absurd, but it’s definitely a map of the world and all sorts of symbols are engraved in every part America, Russia, china, Europe, Africa, south America and Australia.

Then he looked at other places, this time it was various drawings of people, a man battling some sort of prehistoric animals then people worshipping something in the sky , it was a huge rectangular object with strange engravings , various strange buildings that resembled the ones in the cave , people sitting cross-legged and around them many rays like the rays of the sun were attracted toward them , then many people looking at the sky frightened , a circular huge object was falling from the sky , some other drawings of people holding weird shining stones.

But Allen always had a strange feeling of incomprehensibility, he felt that the drawings of the people and the language inscriptions weren’t belonging the same civilisation, it looked like an advanced civilisation discovered the wall and continued to engrave other things in a hurry, thinking of this plausible conclusion, Allen was even more sluggish.

From the drawings Allen could infer some things, the huge circular object in the sky was probably a comet or an asteroid that fell on earth, the rectangular object that they were worshiping is hard to believe but was probably a spaceship, here Allen had a multitude of complex feelings, are aliens really existing?

The person sitting and the sunrays around him Allen didn’t understand at that moment so he continued to look at other parts of the wall.

There was another drawing of a meteorite but this time it’s a hundred times more detailed and there was plenty of inscriptions below the drawing, there was also various detailed pyramid drawings and something from the sky was constantly being attracted by the capstone on top , another drawing was a special stone it looked like jade but it wasn’t because it was depicted as slightly glowing , then a person was sitting with the stone on his lap and the glowing stone was emitting some kind of flow that was constantly being absorbed by the person sitting.

The more Allen explored the more he felt horrible, because he probably understood some things.

Allen summed all his findings.

First, there was probably an ancient civilisation that existed before the Egyptians or even the Sumerians, meaning that more than 10 000 years ago other civilisations were thriving on earth, there was a huge catastrophe that annihilated them, and going by the drawings its highly probable that it was an asteroid.

Second, those civilisations were highly advanced maybe even more than the modern humans of today.

Third, those advanced civilisations probably discovered this ruin and knew that another prehistoric civilisation predicted the catastrophe but it was already late, so they engraved some information that could warn the future civilisations that will come after them.

Fourth, the possibility of Aliens coming to earth is high.

Fifth, the advanced civilisation was an energy civilisation and used those glowing stones and other materials for their technology, pyramids were built by them for the purpose of gathering energy, probably electricity.

Sixth, people can absorb some sort of energy to strengthen themselves, it could be from the surrounding environment or from the glowing stones which is a major discovery.

Seventh and last  and most horrible fact , Allen discovered that an asteroid will probably impact the earth another time , for the fifth time exactly , scientists know that dinosaurs were extinct because of a meteorite , and they also know that 11.600 years ago another one fell near the coast of Antarctica provoking a huge cataclysm , and this stone wall recorded two others , but what was even more terrible is that the advanced civilisation predicted the fall and location of another meteorite , it will fall again on Antarctica and after many days of deciphering numbers Allen finally concluded that the date was probably on April 26 2019.

Another earthshattering information is that, the advanced energy civilisation found that there exists a vast underground world, and there is other dangerous species and animals living there, and they found that there was a high concentration in the air, let’s call it Aura.

They predict that this fifth meteorite will be smaller than the previous one , in modern times there is five levels of dangers for impacts coming form space , from the third level to the fifth it can affect life on earth , and this one is probably between three and four , but what this e-civilisation predicted was that this meteorite would probably open a passage to the underground world , allowing the various underground species and Aura to escape to the surface and its probably a huge threat to humanity.

Allen was standing inside the apartment with a dignified expression and a bag hanging on his shoulders.

“it’s time…”
