Part 1: Learning curve. Innocent and naive, Han is subjected to a crash course in opening his metaphysical abilities.
Living a Multi-dimensional Life
Where shall we start? Out of the many lives I’ve lived in the physical realm, which life memory should I recall? I guess the best one should be the latest adventures that started on a Planet called Creata.
Creata can be found in a dimension parallel to what you call Earth, and is very similar to Earth.

“So, He-Who-Knows-In-Advance, what do you say to a wager on our first day at work.”
That was Jack. He was my so-called friend. He actually just looked out for himself, like most people did these days.

Jack always nagged. He was annoying, and it was working.
“Slick!” I called out to a sandy mop of hair trying to get the buttons of the uniform done.
“Yeah“ Slick responded, looking up through fogged over spectacles. It was not going to help wiping them yet.
