of humanity except the light ones whom you would save. Could it be that all of these scenarios are already being realized in parallel, and each person is experiencing the scenario that aligns with the world they live in and what they believe in?

Let me first give my commentary. In the second volume of “Alternative History,” everything that I, the book’s protagonist, experience and everything I record — as the protagonist is a writer — comes with various emotional upheavals, even perhaps literal fear. Most of all, there was fear about publishing the first volume of “Alternative History.” It was scary to write and publish the second volume of “Alternative History” because people’s reactions could be very negative. People are already angry just because you smile, or because you’re not suffering, or because something has worked out for you — even slightly — then they already want to destroy you. And here, in the first and second volumes of “Alternative History,” such bold statements are made about the Spirit, the Son of God, about God. And, as a result, all of this leads to the question of why it’s all happening and what might actually happen next. And in the second volume of “Alternative History,” you see, it’s very interesting that many possible outcomes are listed, which is important to note. Many different versions of what could happen in the future — both with the world and with me as the book’s protagonist — are mentioned. What might happen to humanity in general is also addressed. And yes, to theoretically assume, as you refer to in your question, that all of these scenarios might unfold — yes, that’s possible. At the time of writing the second volume, I didn’t understand this yet, but when I started working on the third and fourth volumes, I began to realize — especially after the third volume of “Alternative History” — that all these scenarios can exist in parallel. Because in the third volume, I reveal the idea that we live in a simulation, and that there are multiple parallel universes, and that people don’t see the boundaries or feel the transitions that occur with each choice they make. And indeed, it might be that I exist in all of these multiverses — for example, there are multiverses where I’m exterminated and considered evil, and in such a multiverse that’s exactly what will happen to me, and as a result, people will destroy me and also destroy themselves along with me. But there’s another version where everything goes well — where everyone recognizes me, there are no conflicts, and all problems in the world subside, leading to a Golden Age. That version exists too.
