Chapter 17

Chapter 17

It is now nearly my eight birthday in a few short hours I will be able to access my very own personal dimension. I had managed to put off my discussion with my mother for so long. Not because I had a reason mind you simply because well I was comfortable with how things were and refused to let it change and kept coming up with reasons to put it off as long as I could.

It was now nine pm on the third of September. Soon I would have access to and incredibly safe space that would be my ultimate trump card so to speak. I mean if not even true god's could interfere with the dimensionand as such no one I'd ever face could stop me from entering the realm itself so it was an inbuilt escape route. I was literally counting down the seconds to midnight. I sincerely hoped that from the next world onwards I wouldn't have to wait till I was eight to access the world and could do so immediately after I turned seven. I had no freaking intention of actually spending the years seven through majority in most of the world's I planned on being born as an orphan, transferring to the world as soon as I can and jump out at my majority. Especially in worlds like Skyrim and Game of thrones without modern conveniences like running water and hot water baths.

Speaking of my wishes I had worked hard as hell on getting and leveling various jobs. I managed to get intermediate levels maxed out for my occlumens, potioneer and rune reading job. Also received a few more jobs, I had received and completed the novice and apprentice dagger user, novice sword wielder, Noble Charm which gave me the skills Dagger Mastery, Swords mastery, and charisma respectively. The noble charmer threw me off a bit and then I realised that it was because of all the etiquette lessons and the like. It gave 25% increase in chance of winning things like bartering, debating, convincing people and the like.

Turns out there are several classifications of jobs themselves. There are single level jobs like Noble Charm which had no novice or intermediate level just one. They did have higher jobs though. In case of Noble Charmer the higher levels would be Heroic Charmer and above it would be Divine Charmer. Even jobs like sword user, blacksmith had upper ranks. For example Master Sword User 100 would be the peak achievement for any mortal swordsman. Heroic Master Sword User would be the peak for any heroic, legendary beings,demigods, higher lifeforms like the elves from Lord of The Rings, devils, angels, and people blessed by god's which happen in certain universes. Above that would be the Divine Master Sword User, this rank would only be achieved when I received some kind of divine spark like being born as a demigod then cultivating said spark and granting me true divinity. When that happened and I mastered any job at divine level the divinity for that would be added into me. Take for an example I received and leveled up divine ranking to Master Sword User, I would receive the divinity of Sword god. The same thing would happen for skills like Blacksmithing, Potioneering, any utility skill that carries over different worlds really.

Things like transfiguration, Charms and the like would only have five levels and no ranks as they are world specific skills, that is there are no higher heroic or divine beings in this world hence there will be no higher ranks for said skills. If there was any skills with the same purpose but different names in separate worlds they would be compounded into the same job classification, that is to say alchemy in Skyrim would be put under the job name of Potioneering and a separate job would not be added for the same thing but with different names.

Speaking of it was now over twelve and I was officially eight and can therefore enter my dimension. The moment I thought this however Loki appeared in my room and goes " hey dear entertainment, you have done well in this world. a lot of chaos and as such you get to view my own chaotic visage once again."

"Hello Loki I assume you are her to create and or modify my personal realm and grant me access?"

"Yep, so tell me what are you going to do with your own dimension. Do keep in mind the area will multiply every world you go to."

I had spent a few hours every day for a week or so thinking about that so I did come up with a pretty good idea.

"Before that are buildings involved or just natural structures?"

"Just natural, the buildings you'll have to do yourself, however the structures do not need to be logical or physically possible in the normal world. The next world on you'll have to do your additions yourself as even I cannot change shit without permission from you once I leave tonight.ill answer your questions once we are done."

The second he says this we appear in a shapeless formless void of grey mists and the whole shebang."imagine what you want your land to look like, if you think of correct specifications it'll happen automatically. Also the laws of physics and the like currently have to value here so if you can imagine it it will happen."

Immediately a disk that would be exactly one square kilometer in area appears. I took inspiration from Asgard from the MCU and decided to make it look similar.

On the disk there was an island of approximately five hundred meter radius which had a nice and flat 60 degree incline into a plateau of sorts which had a radius of around three hundred metres. The plateau itself was left that way. There was a beach on the slope from the beach to around the four fifty meter mark. After which it was just normal dirt and the like. From the edge of the island to the edge of the disk there was around sixty more meters which I filled with a freshwater ocean because why the hell not. With water spilling over and being generally awesome looking. The underside looked like an inverted mountain as well. In case I decide to build downwards sometime in the future that is.

It looked kinda awesome in that whole fantasy theme which was what I was going for.

"Now when you add land and such you can and should add plants as well as the moment you finish editing physics as you know it will enforce itself. Even though it's mostly screwed up by the infinite waterfall lack of a sun and moon etc. There will be a fake sun to give radiation, a moon for the tides and so on and so forth. Add couple of springs and such for running water and the like." He says. And I follow his instructions there is a very think layer of trees from the edge of the beach to the edge of the plateau. I add as many mundane plants as I could think of in that space as temperature and all that didn't really matter here any and all plants would thrive here.

"Well if you are done with the lands, let's sit down somewhere and talk about the question you no doubt want to ask me."

"I have a few questions about what'll happen in future world's. Like in Skyrim there are a Shitload of races will I always be reborn as human of will I get to choose what race I will be born as?" I ask

"You get to choose, you live the first seven years in that body so it shapes you soul so to speak add any powers it has, acclimate your soul to it and the like. Then when you wake up on your seventh birthday you can sort of shift between bodies. You won't have multiple bodies mind you, for example if you chose an elf body for Skyrim you could at any moment choose to shift between this body and that seven year old elf body. So on and so forth it would be like a metamorphmagus but an actual species shift instead of just looking like it. Any powers inherent to said species will be carried over to all bodies regardless of compatibility and the like. Unless it's physical like having spike or an endoskeleton or something of that sort in which case it shall no be available except in said body. The body will age normally outside this dimension.within this dimension you nor any sentient companions will not age."

"That clears up the different worlds different bodies and all, what about my companions will they be allowed to change bodies as they leave the world as well?"

"After a fashion yes, when they first enter a different world from this dimension they will have and option of choosing their race, they can either be the same age as you or whatever their current age is not linearly mind you just how old they look. If they are 98 but look 25 and exit and choose and high elf in Skyrim they will be either as old as you of whatever species they chose or 25 years as whatever species they chose."

"I died and didn't reincarnate so I assume I cannot have children or anything like that?"

"Yes, especially since you plan on growing in power. In simple terms the more powerful and dangerous you are the less likely it is you can have children. It is like the multiverse itself tries to keep the number of super powered individuals within what it deems acceptable. For example an elf in LOTR can live without aging for thousands of years, but the catch will be incredibly low fertility and the like, so even if a single elf lived for 10000 years the likelyhood of it having more than 10 children is incredibly unlikely."

"So what about Greek gods and the like in the stories and world's where they are true?"

"They are slightly different, it's like their power and identity is tied to their own region and belief of followers so it happens. These are called birthed gods and the like most human gods like the Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, Hindu and Norse god's are all such god's. Above them would be true god's as you would call them god's that exist due to concepts, such as I who exist as long as chaos exists. Unlike true chaos gods who are neither good nor bad but the actual personification of the concept throughout time and space. It would be like saying I am a God of Chaos, and that they are Chaos."

"Those like me or even primordials from human mythology have a difficult time giving birth to children,unless of course you have a divinity regarding birth or life or something similar. Like Gaia in Greek mythology who is the mother Goddess so has a shit load of children. Speaking of children only non sentients can give birth here magical or mundane, including things like phoenixes who have a smidge of sentience but not complete sapience. They shall age and they shall die. The aging thing is only for sentient companions like elves and people of any and all mortal races, gods, titans, primordials and the like don't even need it so is irrelevant." Saying so he stands up and says, "to give someone permanent companion status hold their left hand and say this, "I, any one of your names, grant you the status of either visitor or permanent companion to whatever you name this place. So I say, so be it. To enter it, similar to apparating Imagine yourself here and you shall be here same with anyone you have given permission."

And he disappeares.
