“So you want me to help you get into the box in a box?”
“Yes”
I have finally decided after months of delays and laziness to get there. To do that, I will have to request help from my younger brother. To be fair, he did say he received a lot of information from his mom. Maybe he received more than me.
“What’s in it for me?”
I felt my right eye twitch. Seriously? He is saying that while living freely at my house? But it would be foolish for me to anger him, so I compromised.
“I will give you-“
What was the GDP per capita again? Hmmmm ah yes 100 trillion.
“100 trillion JE’s per month”
He’d be pretty stupid to not accept it, that would mean he has now 10x the annual GDP per capita.
“Can’t I just print these coins? Like I can just make a decillion JEs in an instant”
……
…..
I just looked at him straight in the eyes with a serious face. Seriously? This kid wants to ruin the economy even more.
“If you don’t accept my offer, I’ll send you to an orphanage”
I am pretty serious, he does absolutely nothing inside the house except to trash it. When I said his existence would give me more purpose, what I meant was that his existence makes me waste time picking up his trash.
“Fine.”
He said still with his monotonous voice. He never really changes his face and voice, well except if I mention Yin.
He immediately disappeared and a quick moment later, my surroundings changed into the void of space with the planet in front of me. It seems he teleported us outside of the planet.
He appeared in front of me again, and in an instant, darkness surrounded us. Did he just make the box? Was it that simple?
A few seconds later, our surroundings changed into something…. Magnificent. The box in a box was just a single room, and there was a huge monitor at the center. But the design was what caught my attention. It was filled with crystals, gleaming with beautiful light
We were also floating in the air, it seems gravity does not exist here.
“So this is how it looks like-“
He floated towards the monitor for a bit, but when he reached halfway there, he forcefully dragged himself to the magic circle that appeared beneath us.
He began walking towards the monitor, but I was still floating. How odd. I looked around the room to measure its size. 30 meters.
“Ah!”
He tripped on nothing. This kid really likes the floor. He slowly stood up and began walking as if he did not trip. I too, acted as if nothing happened.
[Dimensions: 4
gravity exists.
Gravity strength: the same as Earth
Range: 27000 cubic meters]
I tried law manipulation with the information Mom gave me. But the law manipulation failed, I do not know why. Maybe this place just does not permit law manipulation?
“Yin! How did you walk?”
I said to him at a much higher volume to my voice. He heard my voice, stopped, and turned around.
“I used magic to create gravity. If you tried to use law manipulation here, it won’t work.”
He said still in his monotonous voice, his voice was so low that I could barely hear it.
I see. But I don’t see why magic is allowed here but not law manipulation. I used magic and cast a gravity spell that I read in a textbook. The moment I cast it, I fell and landed on my feet.
He reached the monitor first and he was teleported away by a light. I finally reached the monitor after a few seconds, but I waited until he returned. I hope he won’t spend too much time.
A ray of light descended after a few minutes on my side and Yang appeared on my right side.
“You were really pathetic in these past few months huh?”
I let out an exhausted sigh in response to his comment. But did he just stalk me lying down in my bed for 2 months straight?
“Wait, how many seconds were you there?”
“5256000 seconds. 2 months to be precise”
“Huh…. For me, you just disappeared for 10 seconds.”
When I said that his face changed slightly with an eyebrow being raised.
“Did you seriously wait for me? What if time was linear?“
“Well, if you didn’t return for some time, I would’ve just do something in the monitor… so, how do you use this?”
“Just use the keyboard here, search for something. And make it precise”
‘Ashura Everos’
I typed it in and the monitor just responded with a big “make it more precise” on its screen.
“Just type open parentheses my brother and then close parentheses”
He gave out a piece of reasonable advice. He may have also used it since who knows how many people in the world has the name “Jared Everos”. And for some reason, Yang was now holding my shirt.
And so, I typed it ‘Ashura Everos (my brother)’. In an instant, I was teleported into a black room. Yang was also teleported it seems.
A large hologram that looked like a tablet appeared in front of me. I touched it and it moved. Oh.
I grabbed it with my left and sat on the magic circle that just appeared beneath us so Yang could see it.

That information sounds creepy and scary. The warnings are just full of hope that he will not bring you back. And there is something that I learned. He is short.
“Huh, odd. There are no holograms of him”
Yang muttered beside me. Why was it odd?
“Did I have any holograms of me?”
He nodded his head.
And so, I used the search bar in the upper right corner. I typed in “Ashura Everos (my brother) sealed”, and entered. The only result was shown and it seems I can review it like a video since there is a button that says “experience it” with a play button. But what got my attention was the date “March 12 625 AD”. Wasn’t he a couple of octillion years old? I wonder what happened that made that 12 years into 8 octillion years.
I turned my head slightly to the right to meet Yang’s gaze, he immediately understood what I meant and tugged on my shirt. After that, I clicked on the play button, and the moment I clicked on it, the void surrounded the room with a huge warning in front and the hologram-like table.
[The experience contains information that will erase or damage your concept. Do you still wish to proceed?
Yes No]
That sounds creepy and scary, I was about to give up on it until I saw a text on the bottom that says “Experience it without any repercussions(must require admin permission).
I suddenly remembered the key mom gave me. I opened a dimensional storage I made using magic, and took out the key.
It felt like “it” felt the key. The key disappeared from my hand just after 5-ish seconds of me holding it. The moment it disappeared, the void cracked and was changed into a more “proper” room.
The text on the bottom also disappeared, but something or 2 things appeared. They were like the same glasses that I wore back in that place.
I looked at Yang’s face, and he looked at mine too. We both nodded our heads at the same time and wore the glasses. But unlike the glasses I wore back then, this did not darken my vision.
After we wore our respective glasses, I clicked on the play button and we were transported into another world…. I think……
The tablet then appeared in front of me filled with texts, and so I read it.
[Ashura Everos was sealed on March 12 625 on the 15th hour at Earth, his home planet]
Oh, we were on Earth? Why were there dragons?
“There he is”
Yang said in a really scared voice. It was the first time I ever heard him that way.
I felt Yang tug on my shirt even more, and so I turned my gaze on him only to find him pointing somewhere. Yang was full of fear, he was shaking, and even his poker face changed.
The figure he was pointing at was an extremely short figure, even if he was a hologram my instincts were telling me to get out immediately.
“Ah!”
He somehow tripped while he was standing completely still and I was a victim to it. Both of us fell to the floor. We slowly stood up again and acted as if nothing ever happened. Nope, nada, we never tripped.
Back on Ashura, his eyes were a beautiful crimson pair, they were like jewels, jewels that conquerers would conquer a barren wasteland to retrieve it. But even if they were beautiful, just staring at them feels like looking at the abyss.
His smile was like a kid’s; innocent, cheerful, and yet there was something in it that hid something far more sinister.
And his hair was dirty blonde, it was like an angel being tainted by darkness.
And his face definitely comes from Fedra, only a blind person would deny that.
He immediately teleported. It was beautiful, his teleportation was like looking at a masterpiece, there were no flaws.
Both of us were also teleported even tho Yang was no longer holding my shirt. We were teleported into the place where Ashura teleported.
Huh? Is that Jay?
A familiar face finally appeared, it was Jay still with his usual smile, but his eyes were different. They were akin to a pissed-off parent when his kid does something terrible
This was really poetic, two poker faces looking at two faces that are smiling. If Yang’s Pokerface was stronger than mine, then Ashura’s smile was stronger than Jay’s.
"[{<¦Oh, it seems I am in trouble. Oh well, since I am getting grounded for a thousand years or more, this should be an opportunity to have some fun with ya!¦>}]"
He said still with his smile even tho he said he was in trouble.
“That was really stupid of you, I warned you countless times to never mess with this multiverse in this world ONLY.”
Jay replied with his own smile
"[{<¦Stupid yes, but oh well! Since it satisfied my curiosity, then it is all good. A thousand years sitting inside a room wouldn’t really hurt me, and I can just slow down my time so that a thousand years will only last a day. Is that all right?¦>}]"
He said the last sentence with a tilt of his head as if he was acting cute.
“It’s fine, plus I will always release you in 2049-“
30 years from now he will be freed. After that, he will obviously deal a lot of damage to the world. What are you doing Jay?
“But the most important thing is Dieb, how should we-“
"[{¦that dumbass, I gave him 8 octillion years of my life to make me his friend, but he just used that 8 octillion years to research how to take my powers. Don’t worry, I will handle him after I get released, don’t do anything to him.¦}]"
This time, Ashura’s voice changed into a terrifying one. I can feel his anger, his hate, and somewhat some sadness.
After saying that, Ashura’s face returned to his smiling one. And there was silence. Jay and Ashura were just staring at each other’s eyes until suddenly, they disappeared and our surroundings changed into a very big hole.
“Cool!”
Yang returned to his monotonous voice. After hearing him, I turned around and noticed Jay drinking tea as if it was Tuesday morning and immediately teleported away.
Huh?
This thing appeared out of nowhere.
Oh and tripped again. Thankfully he was not holding my shirt.
It was a giant “dragon” encased in a glowing semi-transparent crystal. This crystal was unlike any other element, it was made from extremely compressed mana. That was all that I knew about that crystal.
The dimensions of the dragon are uncountable, its heads are infinite. There were eyes everywhere, each eye being beautiful like jewels. There were tails everywhere, and each tail was unique. Some tails were burning like the sun and their texture was like magma. While some tails were mysterious. There were giant sharp teeth everywhere, with their size changing every time.
There were also tentacles everywhere on its body, its count infinite. There were limbs everywhere, different sizes and different kinds. I can see some human limbs there, a crab’s claw there, and many more. There were also wings everywhere as if shielding his body from something.
That thing’s appearance does not make any sense. It is full of there, there, there. Even some things were levitating in the air unconnected to the “main body”. One word that comes to my mind is “amalgamation”.
And somehow on all of it, there were still visible dimensions such as underneath it. Underneath it, was a magic circle and it was flowing like a river of blood. Its blood glowing like the moonlight.
The tablet hologram then appeared in front of me again, I held it and read it.
[Jay Everos sealed Ashura Everos using the spell
So that thing was Ashura’s body?
I began to read it even more and more
[after the event, Jay Everos changed Earth. Magic was removed from Earth-]
Huh? There was magic in Earth back in the 6th century and even earlier? Why was there no real evidence-
Oh.
[Jay removed all historical evidence of magic existing on Earth, leaving only tales of its existence.]
As I was watching the hologram, I found a button that looked familiar. The button’s look was like changing the speed in a video. I pressed on it and there appeared many things.
[2x, 3x, 4x, 10x, 100x, 1000x, 1000000x, speed depending on your time]
I was not interested in their fight, I was only interested in what happened to Ash. But the other guy besides me might be interested. I turned my body around and asked him.
“Do you want to see their fight… Who knows, maybe it would be the best fight we ever see”
“No thanks, I’m not interested in seeing Ashura being bullied. What I’m more interested in is the beginning of Jay… Can I have that for a moment?”
He pointed at the hologram that was in my hands. It probably would not hurt, who knows, maybe Jay’s beginnings are really interesting. I gave the hologram tablet to him and he immediately began doing some things into it.
“Maybe that key already gave you full permissions….”
He muttered something. Back then when he teleported first, he probably was already trying to find out how Jay existed. In no way that something like Jay can exist normally.
A couple of seconds after I gave him the hologram tablet, our surroundings changed into a creepy room you find where a couple of bad guys are in a meeting. There were 13 people sitting around an oval table. Each of them was wearing what seemed like luxurious cloaks with a “mysterious” hoodie that hid their faces. This felt like a cult meeting.
The 13 people had an aura of authority. I wonder what they will be talking about.
“huh…. We are only a quarter of an hour since the creation of the world, so we are now 17 octillion years back in the past…… It says here in the tablet that these people…. Uuuh”
He began swiping the tablet, what was he trying to look for?
“There is no name for these groups, the box in a box just calls them “unimportant 13 people”.-“
Nonononono, they were definitely really important to the world since they existed near the beginning of the world
“It also says here these 13 people were the rulers of the world, its beginning towards its end and into a new beginning.”
So they are important, not just important, but really important. Also, why did he use the word “were”? Are these guys dead?
“This is more complex than I thought…..”
Huh?
“The lifespan of a world is exactly 31,557,600 times 10 to the power of a hundred… seconds”
31557600 seconds times a googol….. Can’t he just use Googol for years?
“And these guys were maintaining and ruling the life cycle of the world for an eternal loop. These people have no age.”
So they probably were like the two guys in that place. I wonder what happened to the Fedra and Yang look alike.
“Yang, how old is Jay again?”
“Currently 16 quintillion years-ish. But…. This is odd. He said he was born around a quintillion years after the world was created…. Why were we teleported here?”
“Wait, what did you put in that tablet?”
This was creepy, maybe there was some unknown entity lurking in the background.
“I put in “Jay Everos parentheses my father parentheses first appearance.”
Okay, I am out of here! Maybe this world is for horror anyway!
“This is getting weird and creepy… Yang give me that!”
He took a glance at me, pressed the screen one time and I heard some background noise. Did he pause it?
He suddenly compressed his hands and the tablet disappeared.
“Yang!”
“You didn’t know I could do that? Since you gave tablet, then I now had permission to use it”
He said with a slight grin on his face.
“Ah!”
He fell to the floor again with his face hitting it first. I did not do anything but just looked at him and slowly stood up.
“Since you can’t get out of here, might as well enjoy this”
“Gentlemen, I will destroy this world. This world will be the end for us”
One figure stood and spoke, his voice was filled with authority, respect, wisdom, and power.
“First time that we will have to destroy a world ourselves…. I do not know what you saw but go ahead if that will calm your mind. We can just create a brand new world”
Another figure spoke up.
“Any objections?”
The first speaker and figure asked all hooded members, but there was silence.
“Then-“
The figure raised an arm and I felt there was something there. It was truly the concept of the end.
Huh? That felt nostalgic
That “something” and the figure that summoned the end disappeared.
All 12 hooded figures just looked at the empty seat that belonged to the figure that disappeared.
“Why is there an empty seat here?”
That disappearance made my body remember something that felt dreadful to feel.
