My name is Michael Tanner and one Tuesday afternoon while I was laying in my bed reading a fanfic, in between blinks I found myself sitting in a comfortable chair in front of a large desk. Startled I observed my surroundings finding that I was in a nice office with big unoccupied office chair across from me.
‘hmm… this doesn’t feel like a dream… I also don’t do drugs so this is definitely not some sort of drug trip. This has to be some sort of dimensional thing’
“You would be Correct mister Michael, you are experiencing a dimensional anomaly. I’m what some residents of your home would call a R.O.B., I think you’re familiar?” An attractive woman that looked to be in her early 30’s, her features were a mix of several ethnicities appeared suddenly in the office chair.
“Uh… yeah, but do you have a specific name?” I asked to buy me some time to further examine my situation, it seems that I am to become entertainment of some type of ROB… or at least that is what I hope, that is after all one of the least terrifying options that an omnipotent being could do.
“You may know me as Jumpchan, and you my friend have the wonderful opportunity to travel the Multiverse collecting power along the way!” She replied with enthusiasm.
The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.
“...OK? But what price would I have to pay for this opportunity? Jumpchan mam?” I replied trying to be as respectful to the being with phenomenal cosmic power that isn’t confined to a teeny weeny living space.
“Its just Jumpchan no need for the mam, but anyway how this is going to go is, first you will choose a world off of a list then I will grant you perks based on a document called a Jumpchain, after that I will insert you into that world for ten years and finally I put you into a temporary copy of that world for 24hrs with the mission of killing at least one inhabitant of the copied world, then its wash, rinse, repeat from there!” she looked at me with excitement as if she just couldn’t wait to start this ‘Jumpchain’.
“So, not to step out of line but do I get a choice in this? Not that I would say no if given a choice, I’m just wandering.”
“Well you kind of don’t get a choice… but kind of do, basically at the end of each jump you can choose to return to your original world with everything you’ve collected so far, but if you make it far enough then you get to go on what is called an End-Jump and gain a Spark allowing you to travel through the Multiverse freely for the rest of eternity. Hey I’ll even sweeten the deal for you, usually you get a certain amount of choice points to spend in each Jump, so instead how about I double every source of points you have available to make it extra easy for you?”What she was offering wasn’t really such a bad thing, and on top of that it’s not like I could do anything about it if she decided to just force me.
“OK, I’m at least willing to try It, so… I guess that I accept?”
“Oh! That’s great! This is going to be so much fun!”
