Introduction

The eighth volume of the novel “Alternative History” is a continuation of my entire science-fiction adventure told in the first person. But after the fifth volume, I had to take time to recall all the previous volumes, to go through everything once more, and only then continue my adventure. That’s why the sixth and seventh volumes, which came after the fifth, were dedicated to recollection, to take a sober look at everything again and understand what the previous five volumes were about. And after that, I started working on the eighth volume, which you now have before you. This is the continuation of those adventures of mine, the continuation that was meant to follow the fifth volume.
In the fifth volume, let me remind you once more, I discovered four worlds, four Spirits, and in the eighth volume, I begin to realize and come to the understanding that there is also a sixth world, a seventh and an eighth, and also a ninth, tenth, eleventh, twelfth, and so on. And I begin to search for these worlds, these Spirits. In the eighth volume, it’s not only about searching for new elements and a super interesting, intense immersion and decoding of all alchemy, but I also share with the reader what the evil Spirit is, who Mara is that tempts people, and how this is the final trial before enlightenment. And the third theme, on which I place the concluding and main emphasis in the eighth volume of the novel, is the physical decoding of the matrix I am building, where I sum everything up: what the philosopher’s stone is, what the matrix is, and what alchemy is.
