Immortal Supreme: Sovereign of the Grand Dao

Chapter 4 The Beginning After The End {Part - 1}

------------++++

Arthur kept going through the wormhole in the void. Here the concept of time and space and all other aspects of reality were warped to an extreme.

At this point, the gems were within his soul and were protecting him from the chaotic power of the cosmos. But their light was getting weaker. And it was only a matter of time before they could no longer protect Arthur.

At this point the consciousness of a supreme being sensed Arthur.

"Hmmm, what's this?"

"A soul...oh this soul signature, it's not one of my creations. An offspring of his creation I see."

"Let me help you."

A soothing power held Arthur and took him away.

"But your soul will have to be refined a little so that you can exist in my reality. You would lose many of your original memories and the rest will be sealed," said the being.

"That said, welcome to Earth."

*Shring!* *Shring!* *Shring!*

The annoying ringing of the alarm woke me up. With dissatisfaction I waved my hand, hitting the alarm clock away.

Raising my blanket a bit closer to my shoulders, I snuggled in my bed, feeling reluctant to leave the bed.

*Ring!**Ring!**Ring!*

While trying to sleep back, the damn alarm rings again, causing me to finally open my eyes and get up from the bed.

"Uh, my headaches," I complained after rising.

These days I have been having too much of such headaches that are more like migraines at this point.

"And that same dream again!"

I thought about the dream I had as I walked into the bathroom to wash my face with cold water at the sink, as that helps me get fully awake in the morning.

While regarding the dream I had. It was a weird dream where I keep seeing this guy with similar features to myself getting attacked and constantly waging battle with extremely powerful beings that could destroy the earth in a glance.

'That should probably be because I am reading way too many cultivation novels lately.'

'Yeah, that must be it,' I thought to myself.

After all, it had happened in the past but this time, it just kinda feels different. Different in what sense exactly?

Should I say, it feels a bit real? I don't know maybe I have read way too many cultivation novels and too many comics, along with watching so much anime.

Thereby getting my head filled with fantasies of 2d waifus, and the idea of transmigration, Isekai, and the Multiversal theory, which I strongly believe for some reason is very possible.

Anyway, it is also precisely the reason why it could be said that I have no life outside of these things. Aside from my part-time work, and studying Computer Engineering at the University.

"But that will all change starting today," I said to my reflection in the mirror.

I have finally decided to cut down on my consumption of webnovels, comics, and anime. And use my time more productively.

My current part-time job is not able to sustain me anymore, mostly because my landlord raised the rent...again.

So first I plan to really start working on myself and did some research to find good productive things I like.

And one of them was getting in shape, and doing calisthenics. Also, I would start learning programming to be a software engineer. And I also wanted to learn martial arts.

The Martial arts part is obviously inspired by my love of cultivation novels though.

Well, some of these things will all require money.

'It always comes back to that, huh?' I thought.

Well, I have a plan for that now though. Which is participating in this year's Webnovel Spirity Awards.

Which will set me up to become an author. And hopefully, I get to be among its gold prize winners and get the $10,000 prize money.

A smile crept up at the thought of that.

"Ugh! So many things to do and with a limited amount of time. Plus, I still have to go to the University."

While pondering on all these, I go to the bathroom and take a cold shower, which I don't really do before.

Again, I am trying out some self-development tips I have heard over and over again.

Sometime later, I am ready to go out, so I open up the door to my room and lock it. And walked over to the living room.

"Hey, Arthur. You're up so early, that new." Said a young man who walked into the living room from another direction.

He had curly brown hair and had similar colored eyes, and also had a very skinny physique.

"Good morning Mark, how're you doing?" I said.

"Another strange thing. You don't usually act that polite. Anyway, I am fine thank you. But why are you up so early?" Mark asked.

"Well, I've got something to do. Anyway, I will be out till evening," I said as I walk towards the door.

I live here in a two-bedroom apartment with Mark and his two-faced brother who lives here but doesn't pay for rent.

'And speak of the devil.'

"Yo Artty, what's up?" Said a young who was lying on the couch.

"I'm good..."

He had similar features to Mark, except he looked like he barely had any sleep and, also had a tattoo on his forearm.

I don't like this guy, he looks like a shady guy. Mark says he broke and I'm like no way.

Like, I believe this guy probably does drugs but he won't admit it. He told me he dabbles in real estate.

'I mean, I don't believe it, but okay.'

Without saying anything more I leave the house. Entered a taxi and went to a store to get something to eat.

Got down of the cab, and walked to the store. Upon reaching the door, I suddenly froze.

'What's this?' I thought.
