He stared at his mobile phone, an App he had installed a little bit more than a year ago was opened. Today he was gonna do it. Today he would sell [The Bank] a Soul!

He looked at the contract he had signed, it stated that once he gave the Soul to [The Bank] he would instantly get his reward. The contract had thousands of pages, but no one reads that, even he who loved reading was scared by the high and complex language used.

As a joke he read the page 666 and it was a gigantic disclaimer: "…[The Bank] is in no affiliation to The Devil, Satan, GOD, Lucifer, nor any other entity associated with Souls. [The Bank] neither supports nor condemns the actions of, The Devil, Satan, GOD, Lucifer, nor any other entity associated with Souls. [The Bank] is not responsible for any change in Status between the Signer and The Devil, Satan, GOD, Lucifer, nor any other entity associated with Souls, due to transactions involving Souls…"

Another page, page 1248, was quite strange and it gained his while he flipped through all of them. It was a very detailed drawing full of perfect Circles. When one looked at it a certain Vision would play in ones Mind, but what that Vision was he didn't remember. As soon as he took his eyes off of the Circles, he would have his memories of its contents erased! But there was a little disclaimer at the bottom right side of the page one could only see with certain lighting: "[The Bank] is not responsible for any harm, including but not limited to: Memory loss, Brain Washing, Knowledge rupture, Sense loss, Soul Shattering, possession by Crazy Ghosts, caused by the Usage of [The Perfect Rings]."

"Let's hope it's worth it!" he said to himself when remembering the troubles, he went through to get his hands on another Soul. It really felt like he was making a contract with The Devil…

He checked the time but seeing that [The Bank] was still closed he decided to first take a long, hot, shower.

He looked at [The Perfect Rings] and began gazing, not into a Future, nor the Future, but The Future. What he saw was himself lying in his bed opening the App and completing the Transaction.

The Soul he had gathered disappeared, and a Signal left [The Bank]'s Servers. It traveled trough Time and Space, Realities, and Multiverses until it finally reached its destination. Another Server, hidden so well no one could find it. It was [The Mainframe], the thing needed for all to be. [The Mainframe]'s purpose was to connect each and every Path, make them intersect and thus give this World something that can catch [The Outsiders] attention.

But [The Mainframe] also served another purpose, it was to grade each and every Path. [The Bank] was manipulating [The Mainframe]'s data to elevate the Level of one of its Paths! The green level 4 was changed into the highest green there was, level 5. What lays beyond level 5 is something only the old ones know, for level 6 was not something that could be simply archived!

He was shocked by this Knowledge and had to look away, moments later he stared confused at the pages and put them away.

[The Perfect Rings] were made so no one, not even their Maker, can base their actions upon the Knowledge revealed by them, for this Knowledge was something forbidden that would become lost the moment the gazing stopped!
