K it seemed to have worked out. It'll be two chapters by the Looks of it. Enjoy everyone.
k.... it seems like I can't rework the chapter how I wanted to.
I'll try again later, so this wont stay a wall of text like that.

Yeaaaa.... I had messed up massively. In front of me was the thing I should have known to avoid creating. A singularity. Like even I can only stall being pulled into it. And here I am staring into the void and at everything being pulled into it at the speed of light. Laughing at myself for being stupid enough to actually attempt something as retarded as traveling back in time.
My light brown hair flows around my head pulling towards the small point in front of me.
The last thing I notice is my soul slowly dissolving and I think about that I pretty much had killed every single living being in the galaxy.
Who cares. I'll fight against it once more. With my last strength I actually manage to open a portal into an alternative galaxy.
Hmm I look around myself. Looks like earth. Well, earth about three thousand years before my small misstep. Mostly grass on a field with a couple of trees around me. I had to open a portal at random. But I guess anything does at this point. I'm not going to open anything else anytime soon as it was quite draining even for me. Suddenly a weird blue colored window pops up in front of me:
<
<
so it's one of those game like galaxies.
I laugh to myself. These are always really weird. It's similarities to virtual reality games was quite astonishing. And since I'm probably the most powerful being that existed in my last world I apparently meet the requirements to become a <
"No" I mutter declining the box.
pfft I'd rather have my way with the current god of this world than become one. Like what would be the fun in having to manage everything here.
For now I'll just look around I guess.
Not really caring about anything I just start moving east. Well, I guess it's east anyways.
I enjoy the scenery. A lot. This is what I missed on the earth. Just being able to pick up flowers and smell them. Looking at forests, or just simply the land.
I'm not fazed at what destruction I caused in my last world. Shit happens and I've never cared about the lives of people I don't know. I laugh a bit. I'm just happy.
While I walk into the woods I notice a path leading through them, so I decide to follow it everything around me stays the same. Trees over trees over trees. I wondered what the situation of this world was.
After a while I hear a growl coming from behind me. I turn around and smile. It's wolves. Probably some low level shit that just attacks random people.
Still laughing I think about how I should kill them. I could just chase them away but I can't just let them off after disrespecting me. The wolf in front, obviously the alpha, a big grey one is getting ready to jump me. I just look at it with boredom. They can't hurt me. Only a singularity could actually hurt me so what do they think they can do to me.
"You really don't want to do that, trust me little one."
Yes I'm talking to animals and I don't care. It just keeps growling and two of the wolves circle around me to get behind me.
"Retarded mutts" I exclaim.
Just as the alpha pounces at me I extend my hand stopping him in his tracks as he hits my open palm.
Then without any delay I simply rip apart his head. The other wolves instantly jump on me as well trying to defend what's left of their leader. Two actually manage to bite into my arm and leg. But they might as well have bitten into rubber. Their teeth not even scratching my skin. I sneer and crush the rest of the alphas body under my bare foot.
<
sneering again I throw the two wolves that have actually bitten me against some trees instantly crushing them
<< you have earned 30 exp>>
<< you have earned 30 exp>>
wow... this is going to be annoying as hell. I have enough of this game and just kill the rest of the mutts. One tries to run away but I simply pick up a piece of wood from the ground and hurl it at it. It gets impaled and dies whimpering.
<< you have earned 30 exp>>
....
annoying.
And now I even have to clean my hands. What a bother. I pick up some leaves on the ground and try to remove at least some of the brain splatter on my hands.
Oh well...
I might as well try.
"Show status window" I pronounce for fun more than anything.

(============================)
Skills:

well... that was kind of to be expected. This world can't handle me. It simply does not know what any of my "Skills" are. Not sure what level is normal. But I doubt level 784254793 is something a human can achieve.
"Exp needed for next level?" I ask myself.
And of course a window pops up in front of me stating:
<<5927235/385138523710356234135034134713642853812349134>>
well... as expected. Even if I wanted to level up I'd have to do a lot.
Suddenly I hear some voices from behind a couple of trees.
"I heard some noises from over there. It sounded like a fight, quick, somebody might need our help."
I don't have any problems with language. It's one of the skills or rather features of my ability.
Pfft. So it's going to be my first encounter with the beings of this world.
And around the tree comes.
A young boy....
With the ears of a cat...
Fuck...
A fantasy world. Well this is going to be just great.
The boy seems around the age of sixteen. He's wearing adventure style clothing. Well, medieval kind of clothing. Leather pants with a matching armor. And of course these black cat ears with matching colored hair.
"There's a girl over here. She's bloodied quick get Firo."
I sneer. He wants to help me. What an idiot. But well. I never mentioned that I look like a twelve year old girl did I. With a white dress that reaches my feet without actually touching the ground.
He slowly comes up to me.
"Are you hurt? Don't worry everything will be fine."
I really want to hit him, but I decide against it. I'm just going to keep up my twelve year old act for now.
So all I do is look at him with tearing eyes. Not saying anything.
"What happened here?" A new voice calls out. Female.
I look towards it and it's a woman in the same style of clothing as the boy. Minus the ears. She has nice hair though. Short and brown. With a face that men would probably kill for.
"What do you mean?" the boy asks naively.
"The wolves stupid!" The woman exclaims. Obviously referring to the massacre I caused.
"They look like they've been torn apart. And there's even a <
She's weary of me and looks at me trying to see if I'm really just a twelve year old girl with teary eyes.
And then the rest of their group crashes through the woods.
A dwarf... I am so done with this world already.
He's wearing chainmail and a big backpack including a double bladed axe on his back. Behind him quite literary towering over him is a brute of a human being. Of course with a broadsword strapped to his back and another backpack. A female with clerics clothing and long black hair similar to the boys. And to top all of a elf girl with a mages outfit.
yea...I'm so done with this world already.
"Hey, Girl what happened here?" I get asked by the woman in leather armor.
I don't answer and start sobbing loudly.
"Stop you're scaring her!" the boy shouts, stands in front of me as to block her off of me. I just laugh inside of my head.
"let me just talk to her for a second please Don" It's the elf. And I guess the boys name is Don. pfft.
Leather woman just sneers and steps away to look around.
The girl though gets on her knees in front of me.
"Are you hurt anywhere?" She asks in an apologizing tone "Selen can be quite rude towards younger people then herself, but she can be quite lovely"
Wow...
So leather woman's name is Selen.
I keep on my act and speak in a quivering voice.
"There where doggies that attacked me but they got thrown around"
I can't come up with a realistic way to convince them right now. All I can hope for is them just believing that the stress was too much for me to handle.
"An <
was that mutt such a big deal? It seemed way too weak to be able to do anything.
I just keep the tears flowing. At some point they'll just have to pity me.
"Hey hey hey, little girl don't cry please. Look here I Have something for you."
the cleric girl comes up to me and hands me some kind of bread.
Looking at it I stop with my act. It smells good. Really good. Tears still come out of my eyes but I'm way to fascinated by the bread to even care.
"?????????????????????"
I don't even listen to what they say to me as I snatch the bread from her hand and scuffle away from the group like some kind of animal.
All I could think of is that bread right now. A new smell. A good smell. In my old world I had tasted every single flavor that existed. Be it bad or good. I knew every single one of them.
Experiencing a new flavor for me is one of the best things I could ever ask for.
I quickly bite into it and this time real tears flow from my eyes. Tears of joy.
"Hey, we're not going to take it away from you, don't worry you can trust us."
The cleric girl again. The dwarf and the man just look at me weirdly.
"Hey, what's your name little one?"
Little one... wow haven't been called that in a while. The last one that called me that was a wannabe god just before I ripped his head off.
She points at herself
"my name is Firo. The mage over there is called Aris. Selen is the one in leather armor."
She points at the dwarf "He's Haiden and the big one next to him is Galen."
Then she points at the boy. "His name is Donnavon."
I guess I can give her my real name. Not that it matters really.
I point at myself mimicking her gesture
"Leona" I say still munching on the bread.
"Ok Leo. Did you see anything else besides those dogs?"
"Nu I see nothing but are the dogs allight?" I ask trying to sound like a small child.
She looks back at Selen who just shakes her head.
"The dogs were bad, they wanted to hurt you."
No shit dimwit.
"What where you doing in the forest girl" again the woman Selen asks me in a harsh tone.
I react by cringing and sobbing again.
I need an excuse ASAP.
"I dun know. Daddy said I should hide. So I played hide. But he didn't find me."
well... I'll just make up some random story then.
"Well shit. Another orphan then."
Wait what. They just believed that?
"She's definitely not hurt." The cleric thinks she can analyze me?
weird shit I tell you.
"We can't just leave her here..." for the first time the big man talks and his voice sounds surprisingly smooth.
The whole group looks at Selen who seems to be their leader.
"Do I look like some kind of monster that would leave a girl alone in the woods where something lurks that can easily beat a <
wait what?
Who ever said I wanted to go with them? Fuck I should just bail out right now.
Haa I sigh.
"Awww she's tired" the cleric exclaims "Hey Galen, carry her would you?"
"k" without saying anything else he grabs me by the shoulders and puts me on his.
wow....
I could get used to this.
I think I will stay for now. I smile for the first time in a long time and settle down.
The elf looks at me in a weird way.
Stolen story; please report.
"hey, Leo what where your parents like?"
fuck busted. I don't even remember my real parents.
EXCUSE ASAP.
"daddy was strong" I say as proud as I can. I need to stall this kinda.
"Aris? What's up?" the boy, Don asks her.
"I can feel some kind of power from her. I don't think she realizes it, but she probably has a very big mana pool."
Inside my head I start laughing.
my level is immeasurable. of course I'll have more mana than anybody else in this world. I was asked to become a god for fucks sake.
I still wonder why they just accepted me as an orphan when the answer arrived just by itself.
Don is talking with Selen about a war that seems to be taking place right now and answers the question for me.
"It's sad that so many villages have been destroyed. It's a miracle that Leona is still alive. We don't even know what settlement she is from. Maybe some people she knows are still alive."
Yeah as if. I pretty much killed everyone that knows about me in a couple seconds.
"Leo?"
hmm somebody is asking me something. it's the elf.
"Hmmm?" I turn towards her on my elevated position.
"Do you have your stat-card?"
Wtf is that supposed to be?
"I dun have a statcad" I answer with a puzzled look on my face.
"you must have one. See it looks like this" with those words Aris hands me a card about as big as dn5 on it, it states:
<
<
<
<
<
<
Stats:
<
<
<
<
<
<
Skills:
Light Magic
Element control
Animal language
High control

....
I was to bored to read the rest. lv 80. Compared to me that's nothing but I don't know if it's much by their standards. Well... I can't let them see my stats anyways.
"I dun have that" I answer honestly.
"Daddy had one" with a smile I hand the card back to Aris who looks disappointed.
"We'll need to get her one to evaluate her stats in the next city. She'll grow up to be strong I can already see that. I'm glad we found her."
wow... this girl is going to be annoying to me. She thinks I just have potential.
Ah well. I put my hands on top of Galens head and close my eyes. Might as well sleep for the time being.
I wake up because somebody is putting me down.
Leave me be. I just want to sleep right now.
"Hey, Leo, wake up. We have some food ready if you want something."
Food?
I'm in. I instantly open my eyes.
I don't actually need to eat or drink anything. But ever since I've eaten that bread or whatever that was. I want more of this worlds food.
I get greeted by the sight of a familiar box.
<
<
For fucks sake.
I utter no again and decline.
This is hopefully not going to happen every day.
"You where very tired weren't you?" Don asks me.
"You slept for over a day."
Wait what?
A day? Must've been very comfortable. I muster my surrounding. They've build up a campsite. Surrounded by trees on all sides. It's already late evening and the last sunlight is slowly fading. They've made a small fire in the middle with a pot on it. A new smell again. I love it. Ignoring the boy I scuffle towards the pot and look inside of it.
Porridge. I start laughing happily. I like this world just because of the new flavors I can taste.
"Are you hungry?" Don asks again. I think he wants to gain my attention. I look towards Firo. Since the cleric had probably made it since she still had a wooden spoon and a knife in hand.
I must've looked quite weird since she starts laughing and just shakes her head.
"Of course you can have some of it." with those words she hands me a wooden bowl and a spoon.
"But don't eat too fast, it's really really hot." Everybody scoots towards the fire and she quickly divides the porridge into the corresponding bowls.
Without a second though I shove a spoonful into my mouth. Everyone looks at me with a shocked face. Well, I have to admit it is quite hot but I can't control myself as I start crying again. More tears of joy flow down my cheeks due to a new flavor that I added to my memory.
"I think she likes it" Galen states with an unbelieving face.
"She's enjoying it way too much. It's just porridge." Haiden answers.
JUST PORRIGE?
Fuck you dwarf. I look at him with the meanest way I can muster right now. Which isn't much.
They all start eating carefully. I seem to be the only one that doesn't care about the immense heat coming from the food.
Aris looks at me weirdly again without touching her food.
I must be weird. A girl walking around the woods with bloody hands and a white dress. While the others just take me as an orphan she and Selen must at least guess something. Although I don't think they realize the extend.
Before I know it my bowl is empty and I let myself fall on my back sighting.
I could live like this.
"Leo, don't just lay in the mud like that. You're going to get that dress muddy." Firo looks at me like a mother looks at her child that has done something bad.
Well. If it was anything else my dress would've been ruined. But I made that thing with my will alone. The fiber can't be dirtied. It's harder then diamond and still flexible.
"My dress doesn't get muddddddddddddddddy" I answer in a childish tone. I just want to sleep right now. I'm fed with new flavors and I just want to enjoy the aftermath it left in my mouth.
"Hmm it doesn't get muddy? It might be magical." Aris again.
"You're not going to make her take that off here now are you?" Firo asks angrily.
She does have a point.
I close my eyes smiling.
"Did you put anything inside of the porridge? She looks as if she's drunk" I can hear Haiden ask.
"No, it's just the normal ingredients as always."
"She's definitely a weird child. She walks around in a forest filled with monsters. Barefoot by all means and a few meters away from her we find slaughtered wolves." Selen joins the conversation.
"Also she just instantly eat that porridge too. It was hot as hell"
"She was just hungry. She must've been starving." Don again. Probably trying to defend me.
"Well. We'll find out soon enough. Tomorrow we'll get to Kalem. There we can get her a stat-card. She probably has some kind of weird skill that she uses without thinking. And even if not, something is up with her."
Yeah yeah yeah. Whatever please let me sleep now. ignoring the rest of their conversation I just focus on the new flavors and soon start sleeping.
My sleep is dreamless as always. As I open my teary eyes I see that I'm on Galen's shoulders again. I stretch my body trying to guess how much time has passed.
<
<
For fucks sake
I mutter no again.
"Oh the little princess is awake" Haiden looks at me.
"We're in Kalem soon. There we can find a new home for you." Selen states. Firo doesn't seem to like the idea as she looks at me with regretting eyes.
"Or you can just stay with us if you want to and see the world" she exclaims.
"Firo, we're adventurers. That would be too dangerous." Selen snaps.
Pfft dangerous.
I yawn again. And then I ask the question that is reserved to the small children sitting in the back of a car.
"Are we there yet?"
"No Leo it will still take around an hour to reach the city." Firo seems to have a lot of patience with me.
Don just walks at the side of our group with Selen in front. As we move around a curve of the road we can see a tree blocking our path with a man in ragged but well preserved armor in front of it.
wow... if that isn't stereotypical.
"We do not wish to hurt you, so if you would just put all of your valuables on the ground and surrender peacefully we will not take your lives. I do not think you wish to get children hurt don't you?" He exclaims proudly. What a dimwit.
I get ready to jump of Galens shoulders to rip this idiot apart as an arrow whizzes past his faze. Next to me Don has drawn a bow and has already another arrow notched pointing straight at his face.
Selen is the calmness in person as she simply tells the bandit.
"You seem to have ten people in these woods all armed with either bows, swords and axes. We on the other hand have a mage and three close combat fighters. You cannot beat us. We don't want to be kept here longer than we have to. Just get out of here."
The bandit just looks at her in disbelief.
"Kill them" he simply says.
Suddenly arrows start flying towards us from the woods. Some even pointing at me. I'm pissed as time starts to slow down around me. It's one of my abilities I've had in one of my previous worlds. It's called <
As I get ready to dodge the projectiles. A sword flies in to intercept them. Galen had managed to pull his huge sword from behind his back without throwing me off his shoulders. I relieve time and watch the fight around me. Selen fought with three bandits at the same time letting two blades fly around in quick succession. Injuring them in small way that would wear them down later. Haiden didn't care about that and just crushed a bigger man with his axe. Destroying his blade with one mighty swing. Aris looks like she's chanting something while Don just fires of arrow after arrow into the forest. Probably aiming for men sitting in the trees.
Galen though seems like he's just concentrating on protecting me not letting any source of danger even close to me.
Funny I think to myself. I'm being protected right now. That never happened before. I don't even notice anymore that Selen has finished two of the three off and pushes back the leader from the road as I feel a power coming from my right.
As I turn around I can hear Aris shouting.
"It starts as a spark and becomes a flame. Four times it wished to become something bigger but only at the fifth will it succeed. FIREBALL!"
DING!
<
an annoying window pops up in front of me as four bandits get enveloped in flames burning them to ashes in an instant.
Interesting. It seems I learn magic just by looking at it. That will come in handy later. I smile at the last remaining bandit. It's the leader that's facing Selen. He's actually putting up a fight but it's futile and he knows it.
"Goddammit. How can this be?" He shouts while narrowly blocking one of Selens strikes at his shoulder. I don't care about him anymore and look around. Don really did a good job in picking out the men in the trees. I have to admit that.
Suddenly my world gets turned upside down as Galen seems to fall over and me with him. This asshole managed to run past Selen and tackled Galen.
Wow I'm pissed. I think as he grabs me around the waists and holds the point of his sword at my stomach.
"One step closer and I will kill this girl!" he exclaims.
I really want to kill him right now.
Everyone circles around him and Aris seems to be readying a new spell.
"I said don't move or she dies!!" He shouts again.
"Leo". Aris is talking to me "This will only hurt a bit, trust me we will get you out of there."
What is she talking about? I'm the calmest of everyone here.
"Heavens protect thy brethren from evil. ENHANCE" Aris suddenly shouts
<
I hush the notification away as everyone jumps at me and the man stabs the sword into my chest...
only to see it bounced right back of my dress.
What a fucktard.
He dies with eyes of disbelief as an arrow of Don takes him in the eye.
"good wok Aris. Enhance seems to be getting stronger." Firo says with a smile as she runs towards me hugging me and checking if I was hurt anywhere.
But Aris just looks at me weirdly.
"My spell didn't work" she simply answers "It didn't connect with her dress as it should have. It simply bounced off it."
"Wait what?!?! So Leo could have been hurt?" Firo exclaims.
"No.... that dress is something entirely else. I don't think a simple sword can pierce it. I really need to have a look at it. Or at least have it analyzed."
"We'll do that when we get into the city" Selen takes over again.
"Let us not stick around too long. Just leave the bodies on the ground"
"I agree" Haiden's words distract everyone from my dress as they all sheath their weapons and Galen puts me back on his shoulders.
