《Knowledge and Power》The dead scientist

Alone with my thoughts
This work is the story of my life, my story in this new world. Something like a diary and I decided to write this down since I finally know how to write in this language. From time to time I will write down what happened to me in recent events. For my dear readers to be able to be drawn into my story I will write in present tense. Even though it all takes place in the past. My Past. I want you to feel like living with me. As if you are right by my side. And I hope the way I tell you my story will be enough.
But first I have to tell you my backstory:
I already lived before in another world.
I lived a whole life. At least I am able to say it to that extend. Was it happy? Was it bad? I don't know. Was it fulfilling? I'm not sure. Did I manage to be someone? At least I'm sure I did that!
I died from cancer a quite painful experience. When I was 53 it has already spread throughout my whole body until I finally found my final rest.
But unfortunately I left no one behind. Neither had a wife, nor children. I was alone my whole life but that was okay, I thought. I left behind something that I knew was even more valuable than anything else.
KNOWLEDGE!
When I was still alive I craved for knowledge, because I learned quite early in my childhood that knowledge is power. At least where I lived. Even until I died I was studying everything there is. I wanted to know it all.
I studied Mathematics, Physics, Biology, Chemie, Psychology, Economics and even Theology and Philosophies. I was able to at least read and write in 12 languages. Everything I was interested in, I studied it until I understood it all. By the age of 35 I already published 2 revolutionary theories about astronomic and build, applied and had proven a new fundamental rule for mathematics. Everything that was logical or that I was at least able to comprehend. Things that I understood, were things I never forgot.

I was known for my scientific work and after I died I left knowledge behind. But I don't know if it was worth it. And after I died and thought it all over and over again, I regret just one thing. I know how people should work, and I know what instincts are driving them. But I have no idea about human relationships or how to interact with them, because I never tried.
Maybe it's a result of my craving for knowledge, but for the first time I am interested in human beings and interactions with them.
I died and now I drift through this nothingness. Even though it's not sure if I am moving or standing still. I see, hear, feel, smell or taste nothing. I am alone with my thoughts. There is no way to know if there is anything around me and all I can do is think about my past. I never had enough imagination to do anything else. When I am not captured by my memories, I calculate and build formulas, new theories in all scientific ways I know. But as I am not able to share them it is just a waste of time. Though 'wasting' time is everything I am able to do. This boring nothingness could drive me crazy and maybe it already did.
Thinking about my past now I understand and remember what I missed. I regret it now.
An eternity later, even though time seems to not matter anymore, and after I am fully aware of what I am regretting, I hear a voice...-

Unfettered Spear
[Ratata~] Being showered with bullets from all directions, I certainly don't feel so good. Especially, feeling the bullets passing through my body, which is simply torture. After God knows how long, the gunfire finally stopped. I had my head down, contemplating that this was the end. However, it was at this time that I heard someone jumping off the car in front. I looked up and saw that it was the "Boss." "I should've done this much sooner, you really done a number on my men despite being alone!" "I must admit that you are good, but too good that you're a threat to MY throne!!" "I–" Alas, the Boss' monologue was cut halfway through. When he held his head high, an action to signify his pride, a bullet pierced through his under chin into his brain and out the back of his head. He looked at me in disbelief, like the others around. None of them anticipated that I could still fire my pistol, much less accurately aiming at one's head at the hip level, after being turned into a bloody meat-sieve. "You... Monster!!!" To the Boss' dying words, I only replied with a smile as my strength left my body.

One in a Billion
My name is Xelean, since I can remember I always saw strange shapes floating in my field of vision. When I asked my parents about it, they looked at me concerned, perhaps thinking that I had a vision problem. Seeing his reaction I quickly said that it was all a joke. However, when I learned to read, I understood a little better what those images with letters were thanks to the following message:'Congratulations soul of the multiversal soul flow!!! You are the soul number 1 Billion that will be born in the world to which you were destined, in consideration and because the current situation of the world, certain benefits will be granted:[User interface][Inspection][Accelerated balanced growth] Sincerely, The Hive.' ---------------------------------------------------- Author Note/Warning:English is not my first language. One of the reasons why I started writing this is to improve my writing skills, so if you see any errors, please leave a comment. In this work there may be similar things/references to different novels (from webnovel and outside of it), role-playing campaigns, movies, anime and manga; since they shaped the idea that I have of the stories and I think that, in part, many of the ideas that I have in mind are consciously or unconsciously inspired by them.

Shard
Wherever you go, whether it be be a bustling metropolis or wild and untamed lands, sentients of every race and creed have some sort of belief in the supernatural. Every culture has stories of mighty beings, incomprehensible in both nature and noticeably, malice. Though many once wished for these stories to be true, they eventually lost much of the significance they once held; yet, the people who told the tales in the first place left them there as lessons. Vital lessons, and more importantly, warnings. Because even though humanity and it's allies had taken to the heavens and prospered like never before, their actions had caused sleeping dragons to stir. Across the universe, a bitter war between mortal and spiritual forces is being waged. Humanity now faces extinction, and if we don't play our cards right, extinction is all but certain. But even though their adversaries have veritable gods among them, humanity still has a few tricks up it's sleeve...
