“Sh-She didn’t tell you anything?”
Her voice wavers as she asks this, as the possibility that “her” might not be saved crosses her mind. Ah crap, I don’t like her tone of voice, at all. The timber of it got slightly quieter than before in fact, she seemed this close to “crying” as her voice was that weak and similar. Tsk, what was I supposed to say? Really, I just met her and somehow have already made her cry… What kind of monster am I? Sigh, there is a chance that she might be talking about someone that I don’t know, I simply cannot say that I know the “her” she’s referring to without first knowing who “her” actually is. Just imagine the massive misunderstanding that is about to happen if I confirmed that I know who she is talking about without actually knowing? As the Hero I will say that I will help her out (duh, that’s an obvious) only to actually never do any saving because who I’m supposed to save is indeed The Demon Lord. She will have her hopes high, way up there as the Hero himself will help you out, only for such an individual to deceive you. Man, that is far too cruel even if she wants to save The Demon Lord himself, I still think it’s quite cruel.
“Well, she told me about Kiana and only her. If that is the person you are referring to then, as I also said to The Void Queen, I will do everything in my power to save her.”
I really hope she’s referring to Kiana but, I did say this with a rather serious look on my face and of course, my tone of voice matched the seriousness of my face. Easily enough to truly portray how serious I was with that answer as, well, it’s not like I know if she can see me or not so my only hope of her getting my intentions is through my voice. Not only that, staring at a pink light orb won’t tell me how the person behind it received what I said so, I can only hope she got the message as I intended it to.
“The Void Queen? So that’s the name she gave you…”
That’s an odd remark to make at this moment but it does not make me surprised at all after all, Void Queen is nothing more than a title rather than her real name. However, from her tone of voice I can somewhat say that she does know who I am talking about, maybe she’s even a little familiar with the Empress herself. Maybe they are friends? Doubt that but with this, even more questions appear on my Heroic mind as there is a good chance they knew each other. Wait a second, I just remembered something…
Is she the intruder?
This possibility just crossed my mind but, is there any chance that this small pink orb is the intruder that Miranda spoke of some time ago? The one that disturbed with their plans and instead sent me to this place? Well, not exactly this area but the Bubble Universe itself. If she can get a magical orb here in front of me then there is the chance that it might be true as she has shown the capabilities for such. For her to be here, even in this form, she first needs to find this Bubble Universe and its location, something that, and let me tell you, it’s not easy at all. I will try to not go way too much in depth as this is a complicated manner and something that I can easily make a book out of (pun not intended) but, I cannot also be short about it as it will lead anyone to have more questions about it than the understanding of it.
Ahem, let’s start then.
More of my yapping is mere moments from happening!
Drum noises!
Even more drum noises!
I still like them so, more drum noises!
This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.
Ha! I’m tired of this bit already!
As I’ve said before, a Bubble Universe is nothing more than a separated dimension from the real one, a dimension that can easily be considered as a universe itself. The size, the shape, other type characteristics, everything about them can be different from the real world and even from one Bubble Universe to another Bubble Universe. In some cases, they are a “simple” area rather than a complicated planet like earth, exactly just like this one for example. Filled with a set of rules that well, rule the universe. They can be equal to the real one just like for example, gravity and how it works or, they can be the complete and utterly opposite, not even having gravity for example.
They are chaotic.
That’s actually a good way to describe a Bubble Universe and its rules. Their workings are fascinating as for example, you can have a Bubble Universe where you don’t actually die, instead, you just go back to your “baby” form. Or maybe just outright “respawn” just like in a game. Anyway, as anyone can understand, the way these Bubble Universes work is far different from reality and even from themselves; however, there is a small chance that they might work exactly like the real world, but on a much, much smaller scale. For example, a universe that surrounds itself in the Golden Eden Academy. It can be that small or millions of times bigger much bigger than the real world for example. In fact, we have no clue just how truly big the real world is, not only that, who tells me that this is not another Bubble Universe that has a tremendous size? After all, there is no proof to disprove both possibilities.
This might as well be a simple story told by someone.
Who knows? This is reality to me but the same can be said about Kiana and her story. Ah, I’m diverging a little bit, let’s go back to the main topic. As I also said, there are several Bubble Universes but what I truly mean by it is that, there are millions if not even billions or trillions of them. The human race has no clue how many they are, so don’t expect someone like myself to know an approximation let alone the exact number. To make it even worse, they are in a constant changing form. What I mean is that, some of these Bubble Universes are at the end of their lives while others are mere moments from appearing… Appearing? Well, it’s more correct to say, being created rather than just appearing out of thin air. However, what actually happens out of thin air is when their lives reach the end, exploding into nothing when that happens. A lot of energy is expelled into the “void” in that process but I don’t think it’s enough to cause a chain of “explosions” to nearby Bubble Universes. The energy that is left out into the “void” is then consumed by it and used to create a new Bubble Universe in its place. At least that is what I think it happens, I’m not very knowledgeable in this field. I do know that the “void” that I mention is actually part of what we call the Sea of The Universe. It makes sense after all, bubbles are present in the water and from the sheer amount of Bubble Universes that exist, it’s not incorrect to call it a sea or even an ocean.
Hmm, but I do wonder, who rules said Sea?
I mean, it’s a good question to ask, don’t you think? In this universe we have gods. Ones that rule over us, that created earth, us, animals, floral, monsters and everything else that can be seen and experienced. What tells me that there isn’t a god or an entity similar to it ruling over the Sea of The Universe? Carefully and meticulously creating new universes and ending the ones that have reached their end… Maybe the Sea is similar to who I am? Both the Hero and The Demon Lord, we are products of two gods that overstepped their boundaries, the Sea of The Universe might as well be the same. But to make it even more complex and weird, there are more of “me” in those Bubble Universes. When I say “me” I also mean for example, Kiana, Miranda and even The Void Queen. Ah yes, if before things were a little complex and hard to understand then, the fact that exists several Kianas might as well be the hammer hitting the nail head on and perfectly accurate at that. I mean, I don’t mind as Kiana is still Kiana but, nonetheless it still is bizarre that several Kianas exist in those universes. However, to make it even “worse” is the fact that these other “me” will look differently than I do now, even acting and thinking differently than I do. Here, I’m the Hero but, in “that” Bubble Universe I’m actually The Demon Lord while on that one I’m nothing more than a simple civilian…
The possibilities are endless.
