3751 one of those 'clothes'. But this question led to another question.

-Then why am I doing this 'act'?

The additional question was answered differently depending on the personality of the 'clothes'.

There was an answer that said 'for justice' like the hero of a legend while there was an answer like 'for honesty'. There was also an answer that said, 'I don't like having something up there,' or an answer that said, 'The original wants it.' There was also an answer that said, 'I just want to get out,' and there were other answers that were extremely philosophical.

But most clothes could not get to the answer and died. And at the end of all the answers, the one remaining answer was this:

'I don't know. It's just like that?'

That was the answer that 3751 reached. So, he 'just' stabbed repeatedly. He had no desire to be saved and no desire to die. He just stabbed and stabbed. That was the only way he could prove himself. He just kept on stabbing.

-Uh…ah… uhhh….

And with that process, he made it through the countless years.

-HAHAHAHA! HAHAHAHAHAHA!

And he was always mad.

-I WILL KILL ALL! KILL YOU ALL!

He was always mesmerized by his own consciousness.

-HAHA… HAHAHAHA!! HA.. H….. hngh..

And every day, when the day was over, he cried. He cried and cried. It was after his stab had overcome the 's.p.a.ce' that he stopped crying. It was probably after 50 million years.

His stab s.h.i.+ned and the darkness was ripped apart.

It wasn't complete, but it was enough to be called a scratch. 3751 was overjoyed. He shook his body and cried for the last time. The scratch was proof that his effort was not in vain. His way was not wrong. This small trace was going to prove his existence.

He finally knew who he was.

It was then that his stab changed. He still stabbed and stabbed, but something important has changed. As he stabbed through the days, his heart became filled with something warm.

He was happy that the 'stab' existed in this world, and he was happy that there was something he could stab. He was happy to stab.

It was a stab of thankfulness.

And 3751 then realized the infinite circle of truth. Within it, he felt the giant power of fate. He understood the universe through his stab. So the universe had started from the stab. The beginning when everything collided together was also the result of something 'stabbing' something else. He finally understood it all.

Then, 3751 saw a giant explosion.

The giant explosion held every truth of the universe. 3751 felt a giant universe exploding inside him, and he felt his world that living through the Fall. It was the Big Bang of the conscious.

'I see. So this memory was…'

Jaehwan realized the Big Bang that 3751 experienced was the moment of 'Transcension' that Mulack spoke of. It was also the moment that Jaehwan almost experienced. 3751 had also experienced this.

It was the ultimate stage of being able to control time and s.p.a.ce.

It was the ultimate step beyond the [Proof] stage. That was 'Transcendence'. A question then filled Jaehwan's mind. He looked down at his right hand that was still stabbing madly and asked,

'Why did you not escape the 'Fall of time' then?'
