Chapter 2: Mortuary
This physical sensation of my current body... Did I transmigrate successfully? Did the Metempsychosis Method work? Does that mean Celestine’s scientific papers on the Transmultiversal Theorem and Transmigration were feasible?
Elias felt a surge of excitement as he realized his desperate, last-ditch plan had succeeded. The next moment, however, despondency washed over him as he thought of his comrades.
If not for Celestine’s theorem, I wouldn’t have survived.
Elias lamented not being able to express his gratitude in person, to thank her for her contribution to his survival.
I hope she survived the aftermath of the battle with the invaders.
Elias hadn’t even had time to check if she and the others had made it before that strange phenomenon with the Quantum Bridge occurred.
I wonder if I can return to check on them after recovering my strength in this multiverse.
Pondering briefly, Elias’s mood shifted abruptly, diverting his attention to his present circumstances. Against all odds, he had survived what seemed like certain death.
In his excitement, Elias’s first instinct was to stand up and examine his new body, but this proved a mistake as his head bumped against the ceiling of the metallic compartment. He grimaced, gritting his nearly frozen teeth in pain.
Damn it! I forgot I was trapped in some confinement.
—He needed to find a way out quickly.
