Chapter 37:

Transcendency

Errin drifted beyond the veil of sleep, his spirit unshackled from mortal constraints. Darkness did not greet him, nor did oblivion. Instead, he found himself within an endless expanse of shimmering light, a cosmic sea where time ebbed and flowed without restraint.

He could feel the valley's embrace loosening, releasing him into the vast unknown. His body, once bound by flesh and mortality, now pulsed with energy, his very essence dissolving into the fundamental forces of creation. He was no longer merely a man—he was something more.

As he ascended through the ethereal plane, knowledge flooded into him, a torrent of forgotten truths and ancient secrets. He saw the threads of existence woven together, each life a strand in the grand design. He understood now—his journey had never been about merely surviving or living. It had been a preparation, a refinement of self, forging him into a vessel of divine will.

The voice of the valley echoed within him, its whisper both sorrowful and proud. You were never meant to remain, yet you will never truly leave.

Before him, a celestial figure emerged from the swirling light. She radiated an aura of boundless wisdom and power—the goddess, the one who had watched over him since the moment he had arrived. She regarded him with knowing eyes, and in that gaze, he saw the culmination of his purpose.

"Errin, you have crossed the threshold," she spoke, her voice a harmony of countless ages. "Now, you must complete the cycle."

He understood. His transcendence was not merely for himself but for the one yet to come. The son he was destined to bring forth would shape the future, a miracle among men and gods alike.

The stars pulsed around him, their glow intensifying. The valley faded from sight, its final gift to him a sense of peace. He had arrived at the precipice of true divinity.

And as he stepped forward, beyond the limits of mortality, Errin the Outsider ceased to be.

He had become something else entirely.
