Afterlife

The year is 2084. Rick is an 86 year old man suffering from colon cancer, and is on the verge of death. Sure enough he dies in the hospital, with his wife, son, and daughter at his bedside. However he soon wakes up to realize that he is still alive, except that he is in a different place. After being tormented by strange creatures he meets a mysterious man who rescues him, and introduces him to a beautiful, immensely large golden city called Caelecivia, the center of the multiverse. Realizing that he has entered the world where every living thing goes when it dies, Rick is eager to meet his parents and grandparents, who he hasn't seen in many years. To his dismay, however, Rick learns that Caelecivia is only a temporary home for lost spirits that have died in their lives in other universes. His family members have all left Caelicivia and gone to other universes seeking new experiences. Rick also learns that every living thing in existence is on a quest to escape the multiverse, so that they can live in The Sanctuary; an eternal paradise that is said to offer endless amounts of happiness, so that all who dwell within it are never bored or unhappy, and are bathed in love. In order to escape the multiverse, all Rick must do is enter the world of his past lives, and recover the knowledge that he has lost as a result of living his life on Earth. Whenever a spirit enters a new life, it loses all of the memories of its past lives, and when it finally reaches the point in which it can leave the multiverse, it must recover all of the memories that it has lost. Rick has a long journey ahead of him, and amazing alternate realities and universes that he has previously lived in await him. And of course he decides to have a little fun along the way. But he must be careful, for dangerous creatures seek to stop him and pull him into the depths of Abyssium, a place where he would be tortured with little hope of escape. There is an endless world of possibilities in the afterlife.
