I had recently been in one cycle, and now I was transitioning into another, and it was mind-blowing. Then I told him:
– There are even bigger discoveries, but I have no way to express them – to you, to people, or in a book. I don’t know how to describe it. But if you want, I can try to put it into words roughly – but you probably won’t understand, because even I can’t explain it to myself.
– Go ahead.
– Listen, the Mystic-Old-Man and Big Alexander have often talked about time – that I slow it down, speed it up, that time can move in one direction or in reverse, or even both at once. And the Mystic-Old-Man once told me that many things I will learn in the future, I am actually already doing, but I just don’t know it and don’t control it. And recently, Big Alexander said the same thing – that I am already doing it, but I just don’t realize it yet. And once I see it – then everything will be wow. And I understood that all of this is connected to time. And that thought, which got stuck in my mind after finishing the first volume, that I must understand time – that was the key all along. In reality, all the other volumes of Alternative History – they are actually about this pursuit. The entire journey has been about understanding time. No matter how much I focused on multiverses in the third volume, or on the three main gods in the fourth – ultimately, it all comes back to time. A cycle is time. And all of these are just stages of something within a specific timeframe.
Just like the other day, when I bluntly told my friend – awkwardly – that I am observing something but can’t express it, this is one of my new discoveries. And now, I’m trying to formulate something in my mind, trying to describe it, but I don’t know how. So, don’t judge too harshly. I won’t be wrong in what I describe, but I might choose the wrong words or examples.
But the essence of it is that I am literally doing something with time – physically, in a real sense. This is not an illusion, it’s not just a feeling or a trick of perception. There have been times when readers, relatives, or friends were genuinely surprised and asked how I could manage to do so much in a single day. In reality, this happened because it was as if I stepped out of your human
