The Retired Hero is an Extra - Chapter 1 - : Prologue: Good Riddance

Heaven and earth are the guest house of all living beings, and time is the passing guest through the ages.

So beyond life and death, beyond heaven and earth, beyond time, what is waiting for us?

This is Ergen’s sixth novel “Beyond Time” after “The Immortal”, “The Devil”, “I Want to Seal the Heavens”, “An Eternal Thought”, and “Three Inch of the World”.
