Wednesday, February 10, 2010 - Morning 5:00 PM -Millions of years into the past in a different universe Paradox's Original Universe-
–Past childhood flashback–
The story cuts in on three children playing and having fun. However, if you look closer, they are not playing normally; they are playing make-believe heroes.
Child One says, “I wanna be Spider-Man.” moving their arms around as if they are shooting out webs, Child Two says, “And I wanna be Superman.”Jumping up and down as if they are flying Child Three, Paradox, yes, Paradox, says, “I wanna be the Flash.” running around the field as if they have super speed.
On their arms is an imaginary watch that allows them to transform into anyone they wish. It is called the “Anybody-Watch”, and it takes on the form the wearer wants it to.
The kids play around having fun. Child One shoots imaginary webs at The Flash and Superman, Child Two flies away and shoots heat vision from their eyes, while Paradox runs around as if he is running super fast, hitting them.
As time goes on, the kids play make-believe heroes for a few years, stopping when they reach the 6th grade but never forgetting the memory of their fun times.
Paradox, with their vivid imagination, continued to build the Anybody-Watch as they got older. However, over time, they forgot about it and never used it again, going about their life, going to school, playing video games, and overall having a great time.
By the time Paradox reached the 9th grade, they remembered the Anybody-Watch and everything they did and all the fun they had with it with their cousins.
Paradox thought that the name ‘Anybody-Watch’ was stupid but fitting, so they kept it until they figured out a new name for it.
All the while, Paradox kept going to school, talking with friends, and getting good grades, or at least enough to pass. One day, on their way to school, they passed the gate, and an image appeared of a giant dragon that stood Eight hundred meters tall, then it just vanished as if it was not there.
Paradox, upon seeing this, named it Orion, and that got them thinking: What if they started to create multiple beings and a world of their own? So Paradox created two other beings: one named Zane, a giant Eight-hundred-meter-tall phoenix, and Clea, a giant Eight-hundred-meter-tall nine-tailed fox.
From watching so much anime, namely harem anime, Paradox created a harem in their head and imagined meeting them when all of them were Eight years old including himself, and giving them an Anybody-Watch.
Paradox found out that the five girls were abandoned by their families, so he took them in and taught them how to use their Watches.
In time, the girls all became stronger and faster than Paradox, showing that they had mastered the power he gave them: “The Power of Imagination.” Just like Paradox, and from Paradox showing them multiple anime, they gained multiple different transformations and people they could turn into.
The girls all went their separate ways as they explored different universes and dimensions to become stronger and gain more forms and powers.
Sometime later, Paradox’s powers became real. It seems as if their imagination was so powerful it brought forth their Anybody-Watch. With that, they began tweaking the Anybody-Watch, adding more features to it, such as the “Power of Imagination,” which allowed them to do anything they could imagine.
Weeks turned into months as Paradox honed their power, and within that time, the universe they created in their head became real. So Paradox dubbed it the “Omniverse,” a universe of infinite size and infinite possibilities.
With this new universe, Paradox went around training and creating planets, as well as beings to inhabit those planets, stars, galaxies, solar systems, and everything.
But by the end of the creation, Paradox forgot all of the things they created and only remembered Paradox Earth, which is Earth but different because they wanted their own planet.
A few years went by, and Paradox went back and forth between the Omniverse and the real world throughout their 10th, 11th, and 12th grades.
After 12th grade, Paradox spent their full time inside the Omniverse, never leaving it and spending two more years inside, which leads to the beginning of our story and the fight with Yami Paradox. By the end of it all, Paradox began calling the Anybody-Watch the Omni-Watch because it sounded cool.
Throughout their time in the Omniverse, Paradox, as a normal human, became strong enough to destroy a galaxy by accident with an attack they had created. They are able to sense things up to 100 meters away and react to things at hypersonic speed while being able to attack and move at high hypersonic speeds.
Then, a few months later, after a lot of training, Paradox unlocked a new form: their [Half-Omnipotent] form. In this form, they became far stronger, strong enough to destroy universes.
Additionally, in this form, they are able to sense things up to halfway around the universe and react to things at relativistic+ speeds, nearly the speed of light, and their attack and movement speeds are multi-faster than light, faster than the speed of light.
With this, Paradox overall just has fun traveling through the universe they created and honing their powers while becoming stronger.

After Paradox leaves the “Hyper Dimension,” they go back to the forest they were in when they landed on Paradox Earth. As they appear back in the forest, they appear in their [Half-Omnipotent form], as they like to stay in that form to have a challenge in fights.
Paradox uses their Omnipotent Sense to find the forest’s exit and begins walking towards it. On their way, they encounter various animals, some ferocious ones that attack them, which prompts him to cut them in half for daring to attack him.
A few hours go by as they take their time, in no hurry to get out. But just as the forest seems so peaceful, Paradox forgets that this Earth is far different than the real one. A group of monsters appears, growling and surrounding him.
Paradox amused that a bunch of low-life creatures would dare challenge him, just sits there and observes them.
This narrative has been purloined without the author's approval. Report any appearances on Amazon.
The creatures appear to be goblins—black goblins with skin as dark as midnight. They charge at him with their clubs and swords, striking Paradox, but as soon as the weapons land on his body, they all break and fall apart, leaving Paradox to smirk at the now-frightened creatures.
The goblins regain hope as a few of the more magical ones release gusts of wind and balls of fire at Paradox, who just blows air out of his mouth, getting rid of the attacks while destroying a part of the forest.
“So these are some of the creatures that inhabit this Earth. They seem to be quite weak, or am I just too powerful?” Paradox muses as they wave their hand, making the goblins disintegrate into nothing, and continue on their journey out of the forest.
After a few hours, Paradox makes it out of the forest, giving a sigh after finally being out of it. Everything in it looked the same, even though he had trained for One hundred years, only a day had passed here.
In the distance, Paradox sees a small town of moderate-sized houses, so they decide to go there as they fly into the air, heading in that direction.
As they fly over the town, they see cars driving, people walking and talking, and crimes happening, such as robbery and kidnappings.
They ignore all of that, instead searching for some food. They head to a grocery store after finding out what the currency is, which turns out to be the same and create some money themselves with their power.
They head inside the store and purchase some cups of ramen, cereal, and milk. Seeing as they don't have a place to stay, they create a mini bag that stops time so the milk does not go bad and they can store the other things.
They then begin looking for a house that is for sale, not even sure if they will be staying in this town or moving, not that they care enough to think about it.
Paradox finds a moderately sized one-bedroom house that is more secluded so they don't have to bother with others much. Walking inside the empty house, they snap their fingers, decorating it with red carpets, tan walls, a nice black lounge table, and an eating table with some cool anime posters on the wall.
Once done, Paradox leaves the house as they look for something to do. While doing so, they learn the name of this city, which is called “Metro City.” It is surrounded by very tall mountains with the forest that Paradox was in. It was a pretty nice reserved city, but what he also learned was that there was a bigger city not far from there.
Paradox decides to stay in this city for some time to learn about this world and what inhabits it, then will decide on what they will do later.

A few weeks later, Paradox is exploring outside of the city. As they are traveling up the mountain, they take down ogres, goblins, mountain lions, and more monsters and animals with ease.
Thinking that this is just a relaxation trip to take in the sights, they are in for a rude awakening as reality warps and twists, creating an illusion of their death. Paradox breaks it with a snap of their finger, looking around for who created the illusion.
They are not able to find them, but what they do find is a horde of zombies—not normal ones, but zombies that are shooting ice spikes, balls of fire, and even controlling shadows. These are special zombies, and Paradox knows that whoever created the illusion of their death is the same one who created these zombies.
Paradox moves instantly, cutting down the zombies, but they all stand up again, and even their body parts move on their own, which freaks him out a bit. He breathes fire out of his mouth, turning them all to ash.
Just then, he hears the sound of clapping as a beautiful woman appears.
She has a slender and athletic build, wearing a sleek black and purple formfitting costume with a plunging neckline, revealing her toned abs and a small amount of cleavage. The outfit also features a high-waisted design, accentuating her slender waist.
She has long, flowing white hair that falls down her back like a river of snow, with a few loose strands framing her face. Her eyes are a bright, glowing blue that seems to pierce through the darkness, giving her an otherworldly appearance.
On her feet, she wears a pair of black boots with purple accents, which add to her overall edgy and menacing aura. Around her neck, she wears a small, intricate pendant in the shape of a skull, symbolizing her association with death.
“Who are you?” Paradox asks, on guard with the person and what he senses from her.
“Now, now, dear, no need to be so cautious. I am what you humans call…” she trails off, creating suspense, “Death of the Four Horsemen,” she growls out with a smirk.
“And you, my dear Paradox, I am here to kill you.” As she finishes that sentence, she appears in front of Paradox with no sound, making it seem as if she was always there. Just then, she pulls out a crimson red scythe with two blades and swings it down at Paradox, cutting off his right arm.
Paradox screams out in pain as they jump back, their regeneration kicking in, starting to regrow their right arm, and in a few seconds, it's fully regrown.
“Kill me? What brings you here to kill me, and what makes you think you can kill me?” Paradox asks, a little curious and cautious since this “Death” was able to cut off his arm and move so fast they could not react.
“You see, dear, you have tampered with things far beyond your understanding, and you have escaped the death that should have been brought to you many times,” she muses, looking him in the eyes with her piercing blue orbs.
“And I am here to collect what is rightfully mine.” She moves so fast, appearing behind Paradox, but right before she can strike him, he pulls out his scythe, slamming the stick part into the ground, causing it to split open, making Death jump back.
Paradox readies himself for a fight, seeing as Death is not going to give up unless she takes his soul. He snaps his finger, causing a massive explosion to happen around Death, but she walks out unfazed as if nothing happened, with not even a scratch on her outfit.
Just then, she moves, creating a blur of herself which turns into a clone. Both attack from both sides, coating their scythes in deadly poison, aiming not only to cut Paradox but to poison him.
Seeing them coming, Paradox imagines that their attacks phase through him, causing the Deaths to hit themselves, but the poison does nothing to them, showing that they are immune to it, or at least to their own poison.
The battle does not look in his favor, so Paradox uses their Omni-Watch to scan Death and find out more information about her and her abilities.
“Hmm, I see, so I can't kill her outright since she is immortal, and even erasing her existence with my scythe would not work. The only option is to hit her with an attack that will knock her out so I can escape,” Paradox thinks to himself.
Death, sensing that Paradox is coming up with a plan, swings her scythe, sending a sharp blast of wind in his direction, which he dodges, but the attack is so powerful that it cuts the ten mountains behind them in half.
Before Paradox can even land, Death appears in front of him with a ball of darkness that she places inside him, causing him to experience the most excruciating pain and agony, far worse than death.
While experiencing this pain, Paradox sees countless times he died or could die until eventually he passes out from the pain.
Sunday, February 25, 2003 - Nighttime 10:10 PM
Some time passed, and Paradox woke up and saw that Death was gone, seemingly giving up.
Thinking to himself, Paradox believes that she thought it was no use staying here as the darkness would have finished him off.
Paradox gives a sigh of relief, saying, “It's a good thing she did not know about the Omni-Watch around my heart, or else she would never have left,” he finishes.
The Omni-Watch around his heart allows Paradox to come back to life after they are killed, albeit with half their power. This is the reason why Death came after him for escaping true death. But there is an indestructible barrier around his heart, so no one can destroy the Omni-Watch.
“I'm happy I created this precaution, or else I would have died so many times. This way, I can have fun and play around in fights without defeating my opponents so easily,” Paradox says with a sigh of relief.
With that, Paradox makes their way back to their house to get some rest after a tedious and harsh fight with the literal embodiment of Death. He falls face-first onto his bed, falling asleep instantly.
