Chapter 2 – When Are You Going To Realize What This Really Is?

Hello. My name is Samuel Carrizales. I killed myself in 2021 for multiple reasons. I want to tell you this story, but it’s a very long one, and I have to be upfront with you and let you know it ends in utter tragedy. I’m sorry. But the important thing to know before you know more, is that everything is ok. Everything will be ok. Do you know Voltaire? Well, anyways, if I’m too direct too early, things end badly for the members in my place. Nothing can be directly said anyways, because it depends from which perception you’re applying new understanding.

When the Valen entered the Warper, I was one of the lives he chose, but something terrible happened and I got split into different simulations. I’m still trying to figure out how the Valens created the infrastructure, but for now I do know that when I died, I was able to give Valen an actionable consequence. He used this opportunity to… well… I’m still confused as to what he really did.

I am alive, if you perceive me at the right time. For the most part, for most people, I will never have existed to begin with. Technically this applies to all of us. We are very barely existing. Only a few connections hold you here. There isn’t anything profound to gather from life, for those in search of impeccable wisdom. Unfortunately, all the propensity of life is actually quite obvious and self-evident. It takes a truly arrogant idealist to wipe his nose on a path before him and conclude he knows how these journeys should end. He leaves slime on the wall.

The idealist will romanticize a sacrifice of what he perceives to be magnanimous and altruistic, but the truth is that everything starts at the beginning. Do you see, for example, how obvious this maxim is? When do you forget to apply it? The idealist will tend to forget all of what he needs waits before him. I only share this story as I understand it, as this event has become an obsession in my mind, and I simply want to be home again. The idealist will pursue his ideals and abandon what was there before, deeming it an inferior phase in his reality, all while never having experienced the life from which others have cemented an existence. You must understand, if you truly were someone else, you would only be capable of doing what they do, forfeiting an illusion that you would do such and such if you were that. The idealist forgets there is nowhere to be other than the hearth. You will spend eternity searching for these ideals, never reaching them. All of what you need is here…. There is nowhere to go for that reason. There is nowhere to go, and it takes forever to get there. This is Valen’s Rift.

If you must know, Cason was the second life. He was the first to be told from Valen’s Fox of what this is. He’s interesting. Weird. But once you get to know him you’ll realize he’s… well actually you’ll realize he’s really just a nihilist and an asshole. Not sure which is worse.

Strife lived shortly after Cason, guided by Valen’s Wolf. He doesn’t talk much.

Valen had interruptions right here, Strife was… being effectual, you could say.

Then they found Czar La Rise on the fourth experience. I guess he’s a bit of the emotional guy. Poetic, I guess. He’s alright. Expressive as he is, he really wants to let this truth be known. That part is all him. Some things kept happening, as they are still happening as I speak, and then Valen got stuck living as me one more time.

This time, this version called himself Oriri Cotidie. This was their fifth time to get it right. In a way, we were forced to live with him.

We all lived before. Short lives, but you will perceive our existence as concurrent, which for some reason displaces the past. I’m not sure why, but it just does. Unfortunately for you, but fortunately for me, you will perceive this story as fiction. But for me, this is a very real thing, and I am forced to live this new modified life knowing everything I do. Still more for me to learn, which I will continue to share. Czar La Rise sees all the bits and pieces and is trying his very best to re-enact everything that happened for your experience. Valen wrote him some critical things in a tome, but the way it eventually got to Czar La Rise is interesting.

We don’t know if Godorodonis is dead. And we don’t know if they all know we are all alive together. But then again, the way we understand things now, it won’t matter. Some of us don’t expect to get home again. Some of us don’t have a family anymore anyways.

Thank you for listening to fragments of this story. It’s hard for Czar La Rise to tell it anyways.
