Chapter 37: Blueprints

In the afterlife, we are given the opportunity to view the underlying code. Numbers represent every aspect of our lives. Everyone can see the numbers of those who they are close too as well.

The less successful a person is in life, the more versions of himself he will have to deal with. It is clear that failing in life is the punishment that one faces in the afterlife.
