Chapter 270 269: First Tribulation of Hell; A Happy Life

Two years passed after Corey awoke in the strange world that heavily resembled his world- Planet New Earth.

In the two years that went by, Corey had learnt a very baffling and disturbing fact about the world he was in.

This world was also called New Earth, and everything in it was extremely similar to Corey's world.

Everything was real.

The humans, his sister, his parents, every single thing.

The only difference between New Earth, and Corey's world was the appearance of the All-Father and the Universal System.

Life continued normally in New Earth 2.0, and there was no fear of a monster or a human with immense powers killing weak individuals like ants.

In the past two years, Corey had not been able to figure out what he was meant to do in this world.

How was he meant to pass the first tribulation of hell?

When was he going to leave this world?

Was he ever going to leave this world?

Had he failed the tribulation of hell without him knowing?

So many thoughts had appeared in Corey's mind in the two years he had appeared in… New Earth 2.0.

Corey had even contemplated killing himself since he didn't know if that was actually how to pass the first tribulation of hell.

He could not think of any other way, and the thought of him staying in New Earth 2.0 for an unknown amount of time made him really uncomfortable.

Although, his family was well and alive in this world, he knew that they were not his actual family.

His actual parents were dead, and his sister's fate was unknown.

He was happy, immensely so.

But, he knew that when or if, he left this world, he would be needlessly attached to his parents and sister in New Earth 2.0.

If only he was 100% certain he wouldn't be able to leave would he maybe entertain the thought of him getting close to his parents and sister of this world.

Although, he did not want to get closer with any resident of the world, he still went to school like how most kids his age did.

Encountering Kyle, Becca, Mrs. Ashley and a few other people he once fought with when he was stuck in E-Academy was strange for Corey.

Though, just like he planned, he didn't interact with those people a lot.

He just hoped that he would find a way to leave the world, or he'd have no choice but to interact more and more with the people around him.

Another year passed, and Corey decided to interact more with the people around him.

He could not spend three years not interacting with people nor doing anything productive.

He could not increase his strength.

He could not train most of his skills due to his body being much weaker than before.

And, he could not practise his concotion of poisons due to a lot of reasons.

With the main reason being the absence of mana. Without mana, his poison resistance was entirely non-existent.

He could kill himself through his own poisons, and that would just be a sad, funny, and stupid fate.

Corey could not do a lot of things that he considered productive, so he had no choice but to interact more and more with the people around him.

Ten more years passed, and Corey had graduated from the university.

He started a business which was rapidly gaining fame and fortune in New Earth 2.0, deeply shocking the business industry.

In the span of eight years, he had created a business that could rival the top-level businesses in the world, and the reason for this was due to his relationship with Ashley.

He eventually married Ashley who was the president of one of the countries in New Earth 2.0.

His relationship with her immensely helped his business to reach heights in such a short time. Something that would not have been possible with his abilities alone.

Even though thirteen years had gone by after he arrived in New Earth 2.0, Corey had never forgotten his true goal of leaving the world.

He had a thought that maybe the world had a deep, hidden secret that was only known to the top leaders of the world.

Something that could give him a clue to return home.

Another five years passed, and Corey sat in his majestic and immensely beauty study. A solemn expression combined with a deep frown could be seen on his face as he gazed at the transparent glass wall before him. In his right hand was a wine glass cup.

His gaze looked at the countless humans, vehicles, and animals moving in a completely random manner.

Due to the distance between him and the people down below, they all looked like ants in his eyes.

A statement which would not be totally wrong considering his status- The richest man on the planet.

Normally, one would feel satisfaction, and happiness when they were the richest man on the planet.

But, Corey had never felt that.

And now, Corey felt frustrated and angry because,

"There's nothing here."

"This world is a normal world."

"There's no mind blowing secret in this world."

"What do I do?"

"How do I pass this tribulation?"

"Do I truly have to kill myself?"

Corey's eyes glinted in frustration, and just as he was about to crush the glass cup in anger, he heard the sound of his elevator stopping.

He calmly turned around, and emerging from the elevator was a beautiful female who although, was in her 40s, looked to be in her late twenties.

"Corey. We'll be having a son."

The female smiled while rubbing her bulging stomach with a loving expression.

Corey remained silent for a few seconds as his eyes moved from the female, Ashley, his wife to his child living in her belly.

He closed his eyes, then he exhaled softly.

A wry smile appeared on his lips, then he walked towards Ashley.

"Hopefully he's not as troublesome as his elder sister."

Ashley chuckled when she heard Corey's words.

She knew just how much of a headache their daughter gave her husband, and she found it funny everytime.

"She'll most likely be overprotective of her junior brother."

Ashley said, and Corey smiled, but said nothing in response.

He hugged her, and closed his eyes in silence.

He could not commit suicide no matter what.

He had his own family in this world, and he could not bear to leave them behind by killing himself.

His current life was not as bad as his previous life.

In fact, it could even be said that his current life was one filled with happiness.

'I'll find a way to leave this world with my family no matter what.'

'I wouldn't give up.'

(200 years later.)

A young girl with light blue eyes dropped a bouquet in front of a gravestone, and with a smile, she wiped the non-existent sweat from her forehead.

"Phew. Mom would have beaten the hell out of me if I forgot to place the flowers on grandpa's grave."

The young girl said, her eyes containing a tinge of sadness before it was swiftly concealed.

"I love you Grandpa."

The young girl said, and she walked away, leaving behind the grave which had the words on the gravestone:

[Here lies the greatest and richest man to ever exist. Corey Junior Zane.]

[May his soul lie in eternal peace.]
