The worst phase came after being deceived and he ended up falling into depression.
Depression is a difficult subject that varies from person to person.
There is no single method to cure depression for everyone.
Being deceived was not the main reason for him to have depression, but it was one of them.
After that incident he can no longer see anyone of the opposite sex as partners, not that he became gay, he just can't think about having partners for life like in romances.
His upbringing environment only solidifies even more his idea that love does not exist and if it exists it is not for him.
When he grew up he didn't understand his parents fighting, until then everything was fine but…
It's not only them, his father with his mother, his grandmother with her husband, his mother with his stepfather, his cousin with her boyfriends.
More and more people fight and the fighting never stops.
Until then fighting was normal, I only know that for Vicente finding a partner at some point in his life started to mean problems.
He himself began to despise the real world and his own life and considered killing himself more than once.
It was a dangerous period, however he has a big problem that prevented him from committing suicide.
It wasn't any concern like "and the people you left behind" "how will they live without you", actually it wasn't any of that.
It was simply fear of pain, he was afraid of pain, that's why he didn't imitate others cutting themselves and writing phrases like "outer pain relieves the inner one".
He doesn't know about others but in his thinking at least he sees no reason at all to cut himself.
I'm already suffering mentally and still have to suffer physically.
In a certain way sometimes he is an idiot and sometimes he just follows simple logic.
Anyway, the world kept moving forward, the global pandemic came and at that time he put aside anime and started reading colored mangas.
Also known as manhwas, but it didn't take long because one year later he was reading a manhwa and opened a door to another world.
How to say it, that manhwa was about a guy who destroys all genres of protagonists and steals their women.
He researched deeper and discovered there was a specific genre for that situation.
They were called destiny villains, there were thousands of this genre on Chinese sites.
That's when he decisively abandoned manhwa to go to novels because there were many interesting genres in Chinese webnovels.
Some don't like this type of situation, but I simply felt it was a soulmate.
The only bad thing about Chinese novels, if I had to say, would be the prejudice and racism in some works against the West.
If there was another it would be the large number of "eunuchs", even when they have 700, 1000 chapters some end very quickly or get canceled and don't finish, leaving them unfinished.
Of course, if it were the last and personal one, it would be the possible prejudice against God, there are some representations of God where most of them are final villains.
Just as I don't understand why the East doesn't like Christ (at least few authors seem to like Him), I really don't understand the hatred against Buddhism.
I can say they are atheists and don't care about God, but even researching he never discovered why they hate Buddhism so much.
In 10 works, 9 portray Buddhism as villains.
Anyway, unresolved mysteries.
But what he loved the most was the destined villain genre.
Where they took heroines from other heroes.
A max-level villain without torture, without effort, reaches the maximum level.
[Invincible genre]
The true protagonists would give a green hat to the "destined protagonists".
He discovered that he loved seeing this, loved that a protagonist would give a green hat to the fake protagonists.
He also began to hate the use of anything green on the head (wearing a green hat refers to betrayal and the feeling of being cheated in Eastern culture).
Time was running and his memories were ending.
The world was tense because of a possible third world war but that didn't matter to him anymore.
Almost in the middle of January 2026 when I went to my 3rd year of high school what everyone knows happened.
I was kidnapped by the shop and increased my strength and fainted.
Vicente: — (sigh) I really didn't expect to look at your life in the form of evolution
remembering every thought you had at that moment.
"It's like they wrote your mental and physical journey for you."
"Seeing familiar faces that I forgot a long time ago, embarrassing situations, exciting moments."
"It's really beautiful, regardless of the situation being beautiful, fun or ugly, it's a memory he shouldn't forget."
"Even though now I'm sure I won't forget anymore."
"Looking at my life from my birth until my 20 years old he discovered many true traits of his personality."
"I am selfish and hypocritical in several situations, I am afraid of death and pain."
"I'm lazy and kind of greedy, I don't consider myself an arrogant villain who would sacrifice billions of lives."
"But I also don't consider myself a hero who would sacrifice his life to save all living beings."
"I also wouldn't sacrifice the people I love for strangers."
"Let's see, I'm a person who hates beta protagonists who even if the girl jumps into his bed and gets naked."
"The protagonist runs away embarrassed."
"My blood pressure rises whenever I watch animes and read works where it takes more than 1000 chapters or 64 episodes just to hold hands."
"As a saying goes, the meat only falls on the vegan's plate."
"That's why even not having fetishes for married women I love that villain protagonists take the beauties from the fakes."
"Hummm should that be a fetish?"
Vicente doesn't know why but after reaching this moment the dream still didn't end.
At that moment he was in a place of total darkness but it was different from before, it didn't seem familiar until.
A light sprouted from the darkness and formed into something, if he had to say it looked like a river?
In the next moment with sudden comprehension he understood it should be called the river of time or river of destiny, a supreme natural force.
It is everywhere and in every corner, even in chaos where the concept is vague it exists, only different from the many worlds and works he knows.
The main body of the river cannot be accessed with extreme ease like the supreme powers of webnovels.
However the secondary body should be called branches, they are the manifestation of the main body.
These exist to be easily accessed by powers.
Vicente observed the extremely large but also small river in front of him and already roughly knew his situation.
This should be the "benefit" he felt when he updated all talents together.
The river of time in front of him wasn't really the supreme river of time, it was a branch and he knows very well from which place this branch was.
Vicente began to walk, the river wasn't a river in the strict sense, but he entered and witnessed the beginning of everything, the Big Bang.
At the beginning of everything there was nothing in the endless chaos until one day a supermassive explosion appeared in the chaos.
Through the records of the river of time he realized that it was a fight between two unknown powers.
With the protection of the river he didn't need to worry about disappearing just by looking since that wasn't his real body.
In the end they fought to the death with both falling and in the end exploding to death.
With the death of both the universe began to be born and the two became all things, atoms, time, space, the concept of endlessness, parallel worlds.
However since this world was something neither of them planned it didn't inherit supreme laws like cultivation.
However it inherited the meaning of reincarnation, time, space and cause and effect.
Vicente calmly observed how the explosion was very strong and nothing would survive that era, after incalculable years.
The universe formed and began to expand, light gained a concept, stars and galaxies began to form.
More unknown years passed, the universe had already become vast and almost infinite.
Thousands of species are born, evolve and create their own civilization.
Some so advanced that they can travel freely through space, superior to other civilizations.
There are all kinds and Vicente was amazed seeing them and surprisingly he found a planet similar to the slug race of the former owner.
However he knows this is not the home of the former shop owner.
Just a similar civilization.
Then he kept walking and walking and years kept passing, he followed a call until he found a blue planet in space extremely familiar.
It was Earth just as he expected.

Hello guys who read until here I think you didn't notice the difference or maybe you did but I will always use "" to symbolize a character's speech if they speak there will be the name before and the "" to indicate their speech if I still didn't change the name of another character to pass the speech and there are no "" but you think someone is talking it is the specific character's thought of course I usually write phrases like character X started to think or character X stopped thinking for identification just so it doesn't get confusing and thank you for reading until here.
