Death... and me

Rean began to talk. "Please remain silent until I finish speaking. I promise I will answer all your questions once I'm done talking about why I brought you all here. I know that many questions will come to your mind during my explanation, but just keep those questions in your mind for later."

"Alright, first, let me tell you that the Universe you live in isn't its complete form. Due to a calamity that happened countless years ago, our Universe was split in half. At the moment you live in the side that lost most of its power, while the other side enjoys its full potential."

"A good example of the things you are losing is exactly what I'm doing right now. Because of special types of energy, people like me are capable of increasing our power and lifespan. Just think about it, like the novels you read down on Earth. For you all, that's what you would call superpowers... although there are some rules that you will understand later."

Rean continued. "The point is, I was once a human living on Earth, and due to some circumstances, I reincarnated on the other side of the Universe with my memories intact. Because this side of the Universe doesn't have those special types of energies, the living beings on this planet evolved in other ways, creating wonderful things with just their intelligence. That's what we all call technology."

"Believe it or not, with my pretty much inexistent knowledge about technology, I was able to create a revolution on the other side. Those special types of energy made most of those on the other side never discover the wonders of technology. My achievements were all because of my previous life on Earth."

"However," Rean shook his head, "I'm just way too limited. Compared to you all, who are truly experts in your areas, I'm not even worth mentioning. I was just a simple metallurgist in my previous life. That's why, now that I have managed to come back to this side of the Universe, I decided to bring real experts in several fields of technology, biology, physics, etc, with me to the other side."

"The advantages are plenty. First of all, you might truly have the chance to live for thousands of years instead of the average 70-90 years of common humans. You will able to work with something you could never put your hands on while on the other side. There are truly fantasy-like materials that you could only dream of."

Rean then smiled. "Of course, I want to make sure you understand that none of you are my prisoners or anything like that. I'm truly just making you an offer that you can either accept or refuse. Were you to refuse, I'll simply leave you on Earth and we will never see each other ever again in our lives."

Rean then looked in the direction of the sun and used his Spatial Powers to bring everyone alone. "To show you a little more of what you might be able to achieve in the future, how about we pay a visit to the sun?" Before anyone could answer, they all teleported away. To cover the distance between Earth and the sun on this weak side of the Universe, Rean didn't need more than a few seconds.

While covering everyone with his Divine Energy, he protected them from heat, radiation, extreme illumination, gravity, etc. All of that while giving them the opportunity to almost touch the surface of the sun. "Quite nice, right? At my current level, such a thing is kids' play. Of course, none of you will have the same powers as me in the short term. You would truly start as a mortal like you are right now. To reach this kind of level would probably take tens of thousands of years, and very few can do that. Nonetheless, you have a chance."

Everyone was shocked out of their minds. Yet, Rean's surprises didn't stop. "Alright, the sun is just that, the sun. How about we pay a visit to Pluto? It will only take a few seconds to get there."

This time, Rean opened a Spatial Gate since it would be faster. As weak as the spatial laws of this side might be, there is still a limit to how far Rean can teleport with a thousand people. Everyone saw how they passed through this wormhole fantasy-like tunnel, arriving right in front of Pluto. Humanity had launched a few satellites during the previous hundreds of years that now orbited this quasi-planet as well as the other planets of their solar system, and Rean brought everyone very close to one of those.

"Oh! Do you even have satellites on Pluto now? Crazy! Back when I died on Earth, we barely had managed to get a satellite to pass by this place, let alone have a few of them around it. Right! I believe you all would want to know if this is an illusion or not. I'm sure some of these satelites also have some kind of photograph capability, no? How about we stand in front of a few of them and let them capture our faces? You can check it yourself back on Earth later. I wonder just how much of a ruckus it will cause to the scientists back on Earth. Hahaha!"

And so Rean did. He found those who had the lenses and spent some time in front of every single one while talking more about the other side of the Universe. Some people still tried to talk and ask questions, but Rean made sure none of their voices could leave their bodies, so it was useless. He truly had no intention of letting anyone talk until he finished.

Rean didn't leave the solar system, though. Earth still didn't have the capability to travel through space, so even if he brought them away, they wouldn't be able to recognize anything. Finally, Rean returned with everyone to space outside the blue planet. "Well, that's pretty much everything I have to say. As I said, I will answer all your questions. Go ahead and talk; I can hear each of you and answer your questions all at the same time."
