“Celestial gifts? Huh, I must be unlucky”
Jared muttered to himself while looking at both of his hands. What Jared said offended me.
I fell again while standing. This was pretty annoying.
I slowly stood up and looked at his eyes. I opened my mouth to say something.
“I’d say you are pretty lucky to not have one. Mine and ‘its’ celestial gifts are pretty terrible, in fact, mine is so bad that it would make my life easier if it disappears”
I said with all of my emotions, but my voice was still pretty monotonous, and I doubt my face even changed. And the ‘its’ I was referring to was the demonic, cursed be her name, Yin Everos.
He stayed quiet for some time as if he was thinking what I meant.
“I see, forgive me then.”
I do not know if he fully understood what I meant, or just a thing on what I said. The celestial gift I had is my ability to trip always in random intervals. And the always is always, even if I am encased in a crystal, either the planet will rotate 180 degrees or the crystal will. Tried that before, but lost all of my hope in removing this “gift”. What I found out however was that I can manipulate its frequency to trigger by transferring my consciousness into a world without time, that way I won’t flip every time.
Its celestial gift meanwhile…. Well, I don’t really understand its full capabilities, all I know is that every time it uses it, it drives her insane. Perhaps my celestial gift was having that celestial “gift”.
“But still, I guess you are a misfit on us siblings, even Ash has one”
“How do you know?”
“Just a hunch”
I can’t prove that Ashura has any celestial gifts, it was more like a feeling that he has one. Oh wait, what if it just did show up that he has none?
I summoned the tablet hologram into my hand and typed in “Yang Everos(me) information”
I pressed the enter button, and there it showed all of my current capabilities and history. But celestial gifts. And so in conclusion, I can neither prove nor deny that Ashura has no celestial gift. But there is just this feeling inside of me that thinks he has one, and a pretty terrifying one.
“Do you still want to continue or not?”
I wanted to know if he still is interested, I will just give him the tablet hologram and leave since I am not interested in their love story. He looked down and our eyes met. After some seconds, he turned away and held his chin with his fingers to think about what he was going to say.
“No, I’m not interested in our parent’s love story. Shut it down”
I nodded and shut down the box in a box. Our surroundings instantly changed into darkness. I remained calm knowing why it was so dark. I was about to teleport both of us to Jared’s house but our surroundings changed into his living room. It seems Jared was thinking the exact same thing as I am.
I was about to walk toward the refrigerator to get some potato chips, but before I was about to start walking I fell to the ground. I calmly stood up, patted my clothes, and knees, and started walking.
“Wait-”
Jared’s hand landed on my shoulders to stop me from going to the refrigerator. I wonder why he is stopping me, I am using my own money that I got from him, and I also buy my own food.
“I just remembered something about you going to school.”
Oh yeah, I was supposed to go to school. But why? I already have a vast knowledge of how the world works. But oh well, they did tell me to go to school.
“I found a post on social media just this morning about a school still enrolling students this week. It is here on this planet, that one advice I can give is to avoid a guy with green eyes and curly blonde hair.
One man I can think of that has that appearance is Obediah, he most probably was still alive since Jay did say in the box in a box that Obediah became immortal just to serve him more. But if it wasn't Obediah, maybe Jared has a stalk- ah!
Both of us fell to the ground while we were standing still. We slowly stood up and acted as if nothing ever happened, nuh-uh we never fell to the floor.
“Back to what I was saying, that guy will probably tell you-”
He put his hand on his heart and began acting as if he was a certain character.
“ ”You have my Lord’s blood, and so I Obediah will worship you forevermore!” and then he will most probably fall to the ground and begin worshipping you.”
That seems horrible and creepy, maybe this is why he left Dad’s palace despite how grand it is.
Our surroundings changed without notice, our new surroundings had people just waiting. One thing that I noticed was his face turning sour when we were teleported.
“Sit there, I will handle your enrollment”
He left me to wait in line.
There were a lot of alternate selves here, I looked around and saw something interesting. That girl that I found was the original, across the world she was the origin of her existence, her alternate selves were simply alternate. She was also looking around and she caught me looking at her.
The moment we locked eyes, I averted my eyes away. I do not want to be branded as a stalker. I wonder how she is an original. The only way you could be an original in the world is to have fewer dimensions than the world but also to have a way to mess up the world’s path.
Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.
I moved my eyes toward where Jared was and saw a random guy who had pink skin trying to talk to him. And Jared with his introversion laid his eyes on the grown. I can’t hear what they are talking about and I have no interest in listening to it.
I materialized a seat behind me and sat on it. And just a second after sitting, I fell to the ground, not just me but also the seat I saw sitting. I moved the chair out of my butt, calmly stood up, moved the chair behind me, and sat back in it.
Plenty of eyes were on me, it seemed my little commotion caught a lot of attention.
“Hey!”
A voice spoke out at my left side. I wondered who was trying to talk to me.
I turned my head to where the voice belonged and saw a blonde-haired girl who looked like an eight-year-old with sapphire eyes. Coincidentally we were at the same age, she probably was here to enroll. However, I doubt we would be classmates because of how many students there are. Around two to three million.
“Hi! I am Catherine Schmidt, what is your name?”
She just started a conversation with me. She was amused when I just landed my eyes on her accidentally, she just decided to go to me. Plus her accent caught my attention, it sounds like a French one.
“Yang Everos”
“Since both of us just recently arrived here, why don’t we wander around?”
What? Is she planning to abduct me? But…..
I calmly stood up and fell to the floor.
“Uh!”
She was surprised that I fell to the ground suddenly
“Are you okay?”
She said in panic while helping me stand up.
“I’m fine. Now, where should we wander?”
I decided to go along with her, what would go wrong? Plus I don’t have anything to do. If she decided to abduct me, I could brute force my way out. And if she somehow erases me, there will be no doubt Dad will just bring me back.
“Let’s go to a shop for video games! I’m really excited, this is my first time going out of Dad’s planet!”
“Dad’s planet” the way she said it was suspicious. In fact, her own existence was suspicious. First, she was an original, furthermore, she has 120 dimensions. That was too much for a regular person. But oh well.
She put her hand on my shoulder, most probably to teleport us. If so, she is a beginner. And as expected she teleported us. I read her space manipulation, it was pretty beginner-like.
“Aaah!”
I jumped in response to hearing a dog barking at me. I moved behind her and began holding her shoulders as if she were my shield. No, she was my shield from that hellish fiend!
“aolyasap ok, inani ar duyg ngoka ori”
He asked for forgiveness about that fiend barking at me. He pulled the dog with his leash and walked past us with me dragging her around to shield me from that fiend.
After they were far enough, I slowly brought my hands down from her shoulder. I unintentionally let out a huge sigh of relief. It was then I started hearing chuckling noises.
She turned her body around to meet my face and she was covering her mouth with her left hand to help suppress her laughter. Great, her opinion of me just decreased.
“So you can change your face and voice!”
She said while attempting to hide her smile. She was indeed making fun of me.
“Come on, let’s go inside the shop!”
She without any notice grabbed my hand and dragged me inside the shop.
She bought a total of 7 video games, with each game having 50 hours worth of gameplay.
I carried her bag out of the store, and the moment we exited, she put her hand on my shoulder and teleported us to a planet. I got abducted, and I was caught off guard by my space manipulation not protecting me from teleports.
“So, wanna play some video games? This will be my first time playing them!”
She said with a bright smile on her face. It was at this moment that I decided I had enough. Using plane manipulation, I moved my digital plane into the conceptual plane to read this girl’s secrets. This girl was far more interesting than I thought.
Using the Primordius calendar, she was born 31557600000 seconds ago, or 1000 years. But the moment of her birth, the time of this single planet slowed down at a tremendous rate. But then coincidentally, just after my birth, the time of this planet became linear once again, that was until I became an 8-year-old in an instant, that was where my suspicions rose.
When I became an 8-year-old, time on this planet sped up at an extreme rate that a second in primordius time turned an infant into an 8-year-old. It was as if it was tracking my or its age. However, it seems she was not aware of this fact, she only approached me because I glanced at her.
I did a secret test on myself.
“I picked 2 games that need two players, so I was thinking… we should play them together!-”
While she was saying something, I teleported away from the planet. I cast a time spell on myself to age thirty years while mind-controlling her so that she would still see in front of her.
The planet’s time did not change. Maybe the planet’s time will only change if Y*n’s and my time are synchronized? Maybe, but since she isn’t here I can’t test that theory. Whatever it was, someone was planning something. But, if so, why us? Why not Jared?
Whatever, I am satisfied with my theory, for now, I do not want to open a can of worms. This thing was just far too complex and suspicious for me. I’ll just let whoever planned this play with me.
I returned to my 8-year-old body and teleported back to the previous spot where I teleported. Even now she was still talking.
“Fine, fine. Let’s-“
I fell to the ground. I calmly stood up and patted my pants and shirt.
“Let’s play-“
I opened the bag filled with video games and picked a random one that had a multiplayer function
“This one”
This was great for me, I was planning to buy this and I doubt Jared would play with me. And I wouldn’t want to play with my avatar, that would be sad. Plus, if I play with her, I no longer need to buy this one.
We walked to the palace and her family was filthy rich. I wonder how they can get this much wealth. While walking, I noticed an entrance to a library, I wondered why there was a library for 20-dimensional beings.
Almost an hour later, I realized one thing, she sucked at playing video games. She somehow kept dying of falling or to random mobs, her coordination was terrible. She was a beginner, it was her first time playing these things. I think it was my fault considering this game was said to be difficult.
“This is far too hard!”
She raised both of her arms in the air in frustration always dying. It was amusing seeing a beginner rage at a game.
“Come on, at least have some reactions”
I shook both of my shoulders while looking at her. I put the controllers on the floor and suggested playing a new game.
“Do you want to switch to another game?”
I flipped while sitting on the floor causing my head to be the one balancing my body. Obviously, I fell and I calmly sat back on the floor. She did not make fun of me for moving randomly or tripping, in fact, she was amused by my actions.
“Do you want to switch to another game? This might be bad for your mental health-“
“No, I want to keep playing this game”
She was also really determined, that was the second thing that I realized. But this has to stop, she might end up throwing her controller to the wall or to the floor. I stood up from the floor where were sitting and suggested another activity.
“Let’s go to the library then”
‘I wonder how Jared was doing, I should check my phone later’
When I said the word “library” her eyes glittered. Oh yeah, when I read her concept, it was said she likes reading.
“Yeah, let’s go to the library! I can’t wait to show you my favorite book. While its texts can be hardly read, once you can read through the dirty handwriting it is incredible!”
She teleported away presumably to the library, I followed her by teleporting to the entrance. Once I teleported to the entrance, I saw her waiting for me. Once she saw me there, she turned around and began walking towards something while ignoring the books all around her.
“Here it is!”
She stopped walking to a certain table that held a “book”. What in the hell is that book? It has more dimensions than me, maybe even Jared. What the hell is that thing?
It has infinite dimensions, but somehow its appearance was that of a regular 3-dimensional book.
“Hmm, what was your name again? Yang Eversor right?”
“Yang Everos”
I said while maintaining my gaze at the book. Why did she have to clarify my name?
“Oh….”
How did she even hear me say “Eversor”? Eversor and Everos while having the same 2 syllables have a clear difference on the final syllable.
I took a glance at the book and opened its cover, revealing its first page. The title was simply “Notes”. And below it were some unknown words and letters. Oh, it was in English for some reason. The handwriting was just bad.
Below the title, it read “These notes are dedicated to my dear wife and demon lord Evelyn Leigh Leon Eversor to help her understand how things work including the worlds, dimensions, mathematics, concepts, laws, and pandemonium.”
Demon lord? Interesting, I never saw a demon lord. The author really has some priorities. Even if there were more than infinite universes, demon lords were still far too rare.
And below it made my eyes widen “Written by Ashura Eversor”. Oh, it was Ashura Eversor and not Ashura Everos. It probably was just a coincidence that the author’s first name is the same as Ash’s, with his last name being almost similar to ours. Maybe this was why Catherine mistook my last name.
