After the bonding time that he had spent with Nuwa, he felt like he was finally ready to take on third-dimensional interdimensional travel.
Magnus opened his eyes and found himself in a city. Reflexively he thinned his presence. This was a habit that he had picked up from spending too much time in lower dimensions that would shatter from his presence.
He looked around and realised that he was on an alternate Earth. Not surprising... That was what he had calibrated his power to do in the first place. It was always better to start with something familiar first.
Slowly, Magnus released his presence just to see what would happen.
Reality did not break but space and time were starting to wobble a bit. Rocks started to hover. He manipulated the energy around him to create mountains off in the distance and split the earth and created seas. From where he stood, he reshaped the planet in just a minute with a few movements of his hands for additional flare. Magnus flew into space and looked at his masterpiece.
'It looks very unnatural...'
Magnus grimaced and wondered what this Earth's SCP foundation would do. Probably, turn back time.

He reeled in his presence and decided that it was time to do something drastic.
With just a thought, he ascended to the 4th dimension.
Immediately he felt his energy being sapped away into his soul at astonishing rates. He did not resist knowing that it would happen. Magnus felt his soul project itself into a direction that he did not know existed and he felt the shift.
He opened his eyes and found that he was standing in flat grasslands. He released his presence and found that reality did not reject him.
' Well, reality does still reject me, just not as much as it used to.'
He quickly tore space open and started eating random 3rd-dimensional universes. One has to change the quality of their food intake as they grew up! Magnus found his power rising far faster than he had anticipated and was pleased.
Powering up was always good and powering up faster was better.
As he ate, Magnus checked the world's laws. He found that for some reason, inhabitants of this world would ascend from the 4th dimension to the 5th if they live to the age of 1000 years. The energy does not lie. He blinked a few times and decided to explore this.
" Sweet! 1000 years vacation while still working. Does what I do count as working? Hmm... Food for thought. I can already imagine the number of people who would be jealous of me."
He smiled and started walking straight. Since he had decided to stay here for a 1000 years, it did not really matter to him how long it takes for him to get to a city. So, he decided to take his time. He had all the time in the world after all.
