“FINALLY MY MAGNUM OPUS IS COMPLETE!!!! cough…cough” Said the flamboyant mad scientist with a nasty cough.
He had black hair and an average face, the thing that set him apart was his eccentric style. He wore the darkest black and brightest green suit with a glistening gold lab coat. His eyelids were slit on the sides so every time he would blink his eyes would not fully shut.
“Sir we’re checking systems now. ”
“Ah yes, assistant number 3 it is almost time to fulfill my gift to the world.”
“Did you forget my name again sir?” asked assistant number 3 for the 400th time.
“You think I have time to worry about your name assistant number 3 you're lucky I remember your number— I have been working on this beauty for exactly 12 years 11 months 30 days 23 hours 59 min and 56 sec..57…58…59…60 ”
“SIR it is our 13 anniversary working on the project,” said assistant number 28.
They celebrated for hours drinking(very safely) their very special vodka that has a drug mixed that makes you feel just right. The tricks that were done were very unorthodox, with anti-gravity bombs making them fly in the air spinning so fast they felt like their faces were about to come off.
“I LOVE YOU BABY OO—O–O–OOOOOOOO TAKE MY HEARTTTTTTTT” singing random jingles they made up was very common in the lab.
“AHHHHHHHHH why are my eyes slit?!!!”
“Sir that's because you slit your eyes in order to see better. ”
“Did it work? did it work?”
“NO”
“Another failed experiment I guess.”
“Sir who are we going to send in that can take the pain.”
“Oh forgot about that part.”
There was an early experiment in which a test subject was forced to put his hand in the portal, here are the symptoms in order. In the first hour, the extremely nauseous subject threw up 10 times the last 3 times having blood. In the second hour, the subject couldn’t move, not even a twitch, the staff had to move his legs and hands. In the third hour, in extreme pain, the subject was begging for death, and the end result was death.
“We know that it’s possible with a fit subject being about to survive just without his hand in this world.”
“I wonder if he can still feel his hand sir ”
“Probably not his hand was entirely split. I still think that the willpower to live is the answer. ”
“The system check is complete sir we’re ready for later today”
“OH MY GOD, we’re finally ready assistants 1 through 267 let's rejoice. Now that we have finished this project we can carry on with our lives !!!! ”
“SIR I wonder how much money we will get for this.”
“After years of not seeing my family, I get to go back”
“She probably already cheated on you at this point Richard. I don’t know why you would take this job when you have a wife and kids ”
“SHUT UP TODD SHE WOULD NEVER DO THAT!!!” Assistant numbers 48 and 156 proceed to fight.
“Money? I don’t really care about that I just wanted to make my magnum opus and that's it, but these 13 years spent with all of you ”
The assistants started tearing up after what he said.
“Bo–Boss I didn’t know you felt that way”
One suspicious assistant made his way to the Dimension Change Accelerator control panel room when another assistant interrupted him.
“Hey what do you think your do–” the assistant was shot dead in the head. The other assistant heard the noise and made their way to the room.
“WHAT WAS THAT!!!” said the traitorous assistant who was destroying the control panel.
“What did you do?”
“I’m setting the world free from despair” the “DCA” turned on shooting into a spiderweb showing multiple dimensions like stands of shining light pulling everything in and also the assistant.
“We need to turn it off before it sucks everyone in!!”
The mad scientist made his way to the destroyed control panel trying to stop it but reconnecting the wires. “Come on work, work please.” he kept on reconnecting wires shocking himself a multitude of times before the machine abruptly stopped.
“Is– is it over?”
After a few minutes, everything seemed safe.
“How many assistants were lost, COUNT!!!” everything seemed safe until he heard a sound. A soft sound of electricity charging up, a portal suddenly opened up. This time it didn’t drag anything in but expanded in size.
until everything got engulfed in black…
PART 2
2 years later (3 years earth time) World: BAFIGA, Tarugy Month: TACI
I have spent a total of 2 years in this world, and I am already bored of it.
My impulses all stopped when I learned how to walk but my body kept acting weird. My eyes would randomly pop out of my mouth they would also change colors randomly too. The spikes in my elbows and knees would go back and forth retracing and extending. The thing about my body though was my pair of underdeveloped hands and a human-shaped mouth in my mouth.
Because of my strange ability to learn everything so quickly “life in a different world” tuned into “My normal life in a different world”. The only thing I haven’t learned about is my father except for rambling from my mother.
{Mom what is my dad like?}
If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
{OH I’ve been waiting for this question for years, I got a perfectly dictated answer for you right here! Your father has a very fiery and passionate personality his always so infatuated with his work in the caves, he just can’t leave things unanswered. Oh, he also invented a lot of equipment and electrical gear we all use today isn’t he soooooo smart, ooo it feels like I'm falling in love again. I hope you hear him get scared one day, he has the cutest scream. Also, you and your father look very feminine even tho he is a man. After he realized that though he started to act more manly, WHICH I THINK IS SOOOOOO CUTE!!!! The way he speaks is so hot too. He doesn't come by much now but before I was pregnant with you he was a different beast. AAAA please come back soon Anansi !!!!}
“__”
Yea he differently made her drink a love potion. I didn't know dad was that skilled though if I were with him, my life here would be more interesting.
My mother was inexperienced with taking care of children. She was clumsy and always messed up, but taking care of your first child alone would do that to you.
{SO is there anything else you want to ask about son?}
{Yea why don’t I have a name?} Being called son all the time is making it hard to connect to you.
{OH, I have an answer for that too, that's because your fathers going to name you when he gets back.
{When will he be coming back?}
{... Well, he didn’t specify a time.}
{What if he is with another woman?}
She grew agitated
{He wouldn’t do that right?}
Even though I shouldn’t have said that, seeing how she reacts interests me.
Also in the last 2 years, I learned something about how time works in the world. The months are around 4 days longer than months on earth, and there are also 6 more months in a year.
1. RAAVITO, 35 days, ( Fire season)
2. CRIVICTOOO, 34 days, (Fire season)
3. WVIRCTY, 34 days,(Dradna season)
4. BUTIIIVY, 34 days, (Fariy season)
5. YIVELTIC, 34 days (Dradna season)
6. PARATICAL, 34 days (Dradna season)
7. VERHIC, 34 days (Dradna season)
8. TACI, 34 days (Dradna season)
9. SAVIHIS, 35 days (Hisic season)
10. HIVITIS 35 days (Hisic season)
11. LORVEIS 34 days (Cave season)
12. CAVIGORIS 34 days (Cave season)
13. EVICTON 34 days (Savior season)
14. TOLMAL 34 days (Blessing season)
15. VARFIC 34 days (Cold season)
16. YOSIKAL 34 days (Cold season)
17. KOGIGAS 34 days (Cold season)
18. MOSMON 35 days (Cold season)
I never got to experience these seasons, but I have been told what happens. The “Fire season” is when every volcano in the world erupts causing balls of fire to rain down. The “Dradna season” is the longest season in which millions of “Dradna” come down from the mountains to pillage. The “fairy season” is the shortest season only lasting 10 days in the month “Butiiivy”. In the season fairies come down to a random place on the planet and give them gifts or give them death how painful the death is, depends on the ruler. The “Hisic season” is a rather peaceful season with the only thing happening is that vegetation grows faster.
The most important seasons are the Cave, Savior, Blessing, and Cold seasons. The cave season is when every cave in the world opens, so cave adventures make a ton of money this month. The Savior season is when a god is born, I don’t really know why gods are only born on this month, but I know I'm not one. Blessing season is when the god born in the savior season gives up a piece of their body to give blessings to the people, mothers normally get more. I was born on “Mosmon” so the “Cold season” is very important to me for a lot of different reasons. For people not born in this season, it’s just a season where it gets cold, but for people who are born in this season, it’s hell. The 4 cures for this season are the sight curse, fear curse, hair curse, and pain curse, which change each month. The sight curse is the first curse and happens on “Varfic”, in which your eyesight slowly gets worse each day until the end of the month. The second month of the cold season “Yosikal” has the fear curse, in which you are afraid of random things depending on the person, for me it’s women. The third month of the cold season “Koglgas” has the “Hair curse”, in which your hair tries to kill you, I don’t really know if I get it or not since I don’t have hair. And the final month “Mosmon” has the pain curse and which you feel extreme pain increasing every day.
Even though my mom says that everyone knows about the curse, nobody knows how, or why they were created. These curses make me hate my birth month even though we never even celebrated my birthday., maybe they only have them for royalty (one game I played was like that).
I wanted to go outside and “spread my wings as they say”. Whenever I brought it up my mother would always ignore me.
{Mommy why can’t I go outside?} said with my eyes halfway out of my mouth.
{Oh… ummmmmmmmmmmmm-why don’t you help me cook?}
That was a fail
Our home was made of wood and there were no windows whatsoever. The only light in the house was very big candles that would randomly burn very brightly.
One of my favorite pastimes at home was figuring out different emotional faces. To convey happiness you would have to take your tongue out and put it on the very bottom and take one eye out. To convey sadness you have to take both eyes out and open your mouth wide. To convey anger you have to open the middle part of your mouth and keep the top and bottom shut.
I would also look at my underdeveloped arms to see if they would grow. I thought it would be cooler to have 2 pairs of arms because then I would be like my favorite hero as a kid, “Tetramand”.
My mouth was also weird I don’t know if it’s different from others of my species, but I had 2 mouths. This mouth was inside my other mouth and had human-like lips. It would not move when I talked, but when I reached my hands down there and opened it, the mouth had the same interior as a human one.
…………………………………………………………………………………………….
A month later in “Verhic” even my prior pastimes couldn’t entertain me anymore.
{I need to get out!!!}
I have learned a lot about my body in these 2 years. I have found out that most of this species' nerves are in the mouth and if you touch a specific nerve to the left of their mouth they instantly fall asleep.
How I would reach the inside of my mother's mouth was also simple.
{Mother I want to feed you something I made.}
{What if it makes me sick again? You’re not very good at thinking of new things.}
That’s a way to kill your kids dreams.
{It won’t make you sick I promise. I’ve even tasted it myself.} Said with a joyful face.
{Ok… }
Opening her mouth wide open for a swift poke on the inside. Putting her to sleep.
{Nice and easy.}
I didn’t have the strength to carry her to bed but I did lay her head on a pillow and cover her with a blanket.
{Now it’s time for the outside world.}
I open the front door.
______________________________________________________________________________
Outside was maze made up of multiple brick tunnels. The Tunnels went left, right, down, and up with gravity not being a factor at all.
{Not what I was expecting}
The more I walked, the more I realized what state this place was in. people wore rags lived on streets or stayed in manholes. The air had this disgusting smell that burned my mouth every time I whiffed it in. I could see why mom told me not to go outside, but this is way more interesting than staying cooped up in the house for 3 more years.
I made my way to a huge room, a train station with tons of people walking on the ground and the ceiling.
Trains here were similar to ones from my world but they didn’t have wheels. The train was just floating, being carried by some formless almost invisible creatures.
{WAIT FOR THE STEAM REFUEL PLEASE AND THANK YOU!!!!}
{I don’t think I should go that far from the house, she might wake up soon.}
I walked to see steam-powered trash shoots for sending trash here. The people here seem to get excited whenever trash gets dropped down, fighting over it. I found out that I'm pretty privileged, having a house and all.
Suddenly I heard something coming from an alleyway. Curious, I looked for the noise and saw someone getting threatened by 2 men. The men were very tall and rather bulky, they looked like they could pick up a car. The man being threatened was skinny with no other distinct features (well for my race anyway).
However, the strange flower-like insignia they fastened to their shoulders caught more of my attention.
{C-come on I don’t… have any money… please let me go.}
{We had a deal Voqrien, you get the money for the boss and we collect it, simple as that.}
{I-I know, I just need a little more time, I will get the money I promise.}
{HA-HA-HA, WE GAVE YOU TIME.}
{Well, we don’t have any use for you- so I guess we should kill you.}
{YAAAAA NO USSEEEE HE HE HE!!!!}
{Pl-PLEEASEE SOMEONE SAVE ME!!!!}
{SHUT THE HELL UP… no one’s gonna save you}
{HA-HA-HA HE’S GONNA DIE HA-HA-HA}
I should get out of here and go home this is none of my business.
{help…me}said as I heard a loud bang, and the man exploded into bits of blood and gore. His limbs exploded everywhere with bits of his body parts on the walls and his arms on the tubes, his entrails flew up so high they landed on the roofs.
Everything felt like it was in slow motion, the blood was still in the air and I couldn’t understand what happen. When that stopped something landed on me, it was his head. When I realized what I saw fear rose up in me and I couldn’t move, or even scream.
{Eww, dIdn’t know it would be this bloody.}
{HA-HA-HA HE’S DEAD}
{Well, let's get out of here before someone sees, use your grapple this time ok.}
{I KNOW!!}
As soon as they left I ran, as fast as my stunted legs would allow me too. I didn’t look back, I bearly looked in front of me, and that was when I ran into something.
When I opened my eyes I could see a creature I'd never seen before. It had very long pointy ears and pure black eyes. Her skin was pink and supple, But what stood out the most was that she looked humanoid.
{Are you alright little one?}
I did not answer.
{What are you doing here little one… you don’t look old enough to go out by yourself?}
{Sorry, but I need to go.}
{But you are filthy, I will give you some new clothes come with me, my home is near here.}
{What? No, I need to go home fast.}
{Wait} As I tried to run away she grabbed my arm.
{Why are you stopping me?!}
Suddenly I relived the memory of the death that happened just a few minutes ago.
.{So that's what happened.}
I started to shake and sweat.
{W-What did you do?}
The woman touched my head.
{don’t be afraid, share that fear with another.}
I felt my mind spit apart at that moment.
I felt dizzy
{You’re bad news} said as I continued to run toward the house.
What did she do to me I can barely run, I feel so tired.
{There you are.}
I felt a chill down my spine as I felt a deathly aura behind me. When I slowly turned around I saw my mother.
I hope discipline isn’t worse in this world.
