Next, to immerse myself even deeper into the topic of death, I start looking for all possible films and programs about death — naturally, primarily films. And I realize that if I start watching these films now, the system that provides me with information, with which I write my books, will highlight exactly what I need to pay attention to. I begin watching “The Sixth Sense” with Bruce Willis, and it presents this same idea again — that he died and didn’t even realize it. And that he continues living as if nothing happened, completely unaware of his death. I think, “Exactly, this is also possible, that a person can die and not even know it.” But that doesn’t necessarily mean they aren’t seen — maybe they are seen, maybe they continue to live, but they simply don’t know they are dead. And considering the important theme from the third volume — that we live in a simulation of multiverses — this further confirms the possibility of this being real. I call Big Alexander and discuss this topic with him, then I call the Mystic-Old-Man, and both of them confirm it to me, saying that I must die. Well, “must” — rather, that I will die, and that it is inevitable. But let me explain the essence of this whole dilemma. I am, after all, the protagonist of the book, the protagonist of “Alternative History,” the protagonist of this novel. And according to the entire logic of this newly created mythological novel — and all of this is, in a way, mythology — by all accounts, I must ultimately become God, since that is what the novel is about. And here it turns out that in order to become God, one must die. And at this point, it’s like, “Whoa, how is that possible?” Naturally, I start studying all the mythological stories of different times. And it turns out that, indeed, all mythology follows the same structure. There is always some main hero who undergoes trials, and most interestingly, towards the end, in one of these trials, he always ends up in the underworld — this is a necessary stage. And after that, he emerges from it, accomplishes something else, and in the end, he either dies or is killed. And I think, “Well, here we are.” Naturally, after this, some form of ascension occurs. He ascends to Olympus, becomes a god, or, as is sometimes described, he becomes the entire system itself — that every path, every forest, everything is him, which is also quite intriguing. And I begin to see and draw an interesting parallel: Heracles, for instance, went through twelve labors, and this wasn’t literal. Even though people make movies and documentaries about it, visually depicting monsters, in reality, it was all philosophy, all sacred language. It was never meant to be
