<p> The observable universe is about 93 billion light years in diameter, filled with seemingly endless possibilities and ridiculously over-complicated intricacies. From supercells to electrons, whales to microorganisms, from solids to liquids to gasses to plasmas to anything conceivably possible with science, the universe can only be described, in one way or another, as very... very big. In this vast cosmos we call home, one might wonder what the most mysterious and complicated thing out there could be, and what it could possibly do to warrant such complexity. </p> <p> Death. Some cultures view it as the enemy of life, while others consider it a release from the struggle of living. But what comes after? Some say it ends there, our existences futile and what we do on this insignificant speck we call a planet matters to no one other than ourselves. Some say a paradise awaits the righteous, while the evil are sentenced to an eternal damnation in the bowels of the worst place imaginable, but what do we really know? </p> <p> Magic, sorcery, elves, demons, giants, things of legend, and others of myth, all dismissed as impossible falsehoods used in olden times to explain scientific phenomena. However... what is imposssible in this universe may be plausible in another, one where magic thrives in place of science, and where the forces of nature remain undisturbed. </p> <p> The human brain. Emotion, thoughts, feelings, opinions, movement, senses, reactions, subconscious, conscious, dreams, learning, and many other things are accomplished using this tool nature provided humans. The most complicated thing in known universe rests embedded in each and every one of these "insignificant being's" heads, performing various tasks, many of which we have yet to understand. </p> <p> What if humans can do more? What if minds aren't limited to brains? What if there is life after death? What about other universes? Gods? Monsters? Civilizations? </p> <p> On earth, a man dies. It happens all the time, and is usually forgotten in moments by those disconnected from the actual death, but this man is different. After death, he gets to do what few others could ever hope to experience... he gets to wake up. Lilah, the Goddesss of Science is there to greet him as he wakes, and give him a second chance on another world, this time without the restraints she placed on humankind so many years ago. </p> <p> He is the man of earth. </p>
