The Other Dimension
Introduction
Author
Phew... Just another day filled with endless seminars to present 😓
Author
... A bit of distraction wouldn't hurt me...would it?
Author
Or maybe it would... I don't want to get caught by the Boss😓
~Hears a voice behind a desk~
...?
*Psstt* Hey you *Shhh*
Author
(turns) ... Huh? 😳 Me?
...?
Yes you. Keep it low...
Author
... Ok? What happened…? Who are you? I don't think I've seen you around here before
...?
Who I am is not a concern for now. You need to come with me right now.
Author
... And why should I trust you…?
...?
*sigh* Just come... I don't bite. I've got nothing on me.
Author
Hmph. Alright. This better be quick. I don't want the boss to find out.
...?
He won't. Don't worry about that.
~Both sneak out of the office~
Author
Where are we going by the way?
...?
I'll tell you once we reach... Do you really want to sit in the boring office room, listening to lectures and seminars?
Author
I don't. In fact, I wish I could quit... But I don't have another source of income...
Author
Oh by the way, what's your name?
Author
Ok Ethan. So what's your purpose?
Author
Heyyy, where are you taking me?! What is this place?
Author
And why would I do that ?!
Ethan
*sigh* You really don't remember me, do you?
Author
Huh? Why would I remember you when I haven't met you before?
Ethan
(removes his cap and sunglasses) Do you remember me now?
Ethan
~Had a huge glow up
~23
~Author's recent crush 🤭
~Had an abusive childhood. So he ran away from home.
~Seems cold by appearance but is very caring.
~Knows a lot of secrets.
Author
Woah. It's you. Ethan. We studied high school together... Wow, you have matured very well.
Author
*blushes* You are very handsome! (slaps hand over mouth) Sorry... can't control. You really are good-looking...
Ethan opens a door in the dark alley. It seems to lead into a spacious room.
He switches on the lights of the room
Author
Woah! What is this place?!
The Mysterious Room
Author
*Gasps* This place is weird. Why are there so many flying objects? Wait... flying? How are these things just floating in the air?! Huh? These books, why do they look like they've got life in them?
Ethan
*smiles* Welcome to my Living Quarters!
Ethan
Yes! I do! It's amazing, isn't it?
Author
It is pretty cool, though I'm still freaked out about the flying stuff... I still don't understand what is happening!
Ethan
Ok...so here's the thing. This place revolves around magic. It might be hard to believe, but that's the truth. I found this place by accident when I was... running away from my parents...
Author
Woah... I... don't know what to say. I mean it's crazy. And I'm very much fascinated!
Ethan
*smiles* Feel free to use the space. I remember that you love to write... I wanted to show you this place for the same reason... I do a lot of creative arts here.
They take a seat near each other
Author
Thank you very much... But why do you offer me this space so suddenly...? Why did you take the trouble to find me for this reason...?
Ethan
... *blushes* (looks down) ... I have always liked you... from back then... and even now... I want to get to know you better...
Ethan
*sigh* It's okay if you want to leave... I'll not disturb you any longer.
Author
No no! I'm staying! I love this place, I'd like to work here. Guess what? I'm gonna quit my job too!
Ethan
Oh alright then 😄 I'm glad! I'll leave you to it.
Ethan gets up and goes into a room
Author
Wow... Time to get working!!
Author
Mm... Let's see what we've got here... Plenty of books and... quills? Things are a tiny bit old fashioned here😬
Ethan
I'm back! I've brought snacks!
Author
Woah! It looks so fancy!
Ethan
Hehe Yeah... it has magical properties too! It can take your mind to wonderlands and through different tasty flavors with each bite!
~Takes a bite and closes eyes~
~Goes through a roller coaster of wonderlands~
! Suddenly sees a peculiar vision!
~The Author's Mind Voice narrates as the Author herself goes through these peculiar scenes~
Author's Mind Voice
... I see a vision. A land filled with suffering and pain. There's war. There's tribulation. There's Chaos. In the midst of it, there's a home, burning in flames. A baby cries as she sees her Parents being scorched to death. Somebody comes along and rescues the baby.
Author's Mind Voice
The scene shifts. There's a much quieter atmosphere and the baby has grown up to be a beautiful young adult. Suddenly, the young girl trembles and calls towards...me.
Alice
Please come... I know you are watching... we need you...🥺
Author's Mind Voice
Huh? Me? How can I come? I have no idea of what's happening...
Alice
... Ethan knows... Ask him.
Author's Mind Voice
Huh? Ok...
Alice
~Orphan
~Very Charming
~On a power hunt
~Needs to strengthen herself to take revenge
~Adopted by wealthy parents
~Beauty of the town
Author
*Snaps out of vision and faints immediately*
For those of you who are confused:
I am the Author who is writing the Chat story and who is also part of the story. The author's Mind Voice is another character who is also part of the Author and will be on an adventure with the characters of the story (inside the chat story)
... It's a story within a story.
The land of Mysteries
Ethan
Ahh...! No! What happened? Why did you faint?! My dear... please wake up!!
Author
Ughh. My head. *groan* water... I need Water... ah...
Ethan
... drink this... *sprinkles water to wake her up*
Author
*groan* uhh... *slowly opens eyes* what just happened...?
Ethan
It's alright... take deep breaths. It will be fine...
Author
*breathes hard* I think I feel better now...
Ethan
Phew... I was so worried... don't scare me like this again... Please don't...
Author
*blushes* Hehe don't worry! 😄
Author
(Hugs Ethan) Is that better?
Ethan
...but why did you faint suddenly...? And what happened before that? You seemed to be... murmuring something as you were chewing on the Donut...
Author
... I need a minute to think... I'm so muddled right now...
Author
I...had a vision...
Author
I encountered a girl who needed my help...
Ethan
I knew it! I knew that you must be the one!
Author
What do you mean?! I don't understand. Why am I 'the one'?
Ethan
... I sensed an Aura in you... I found out that you could enter other dimensions and parallel universes... You have that power in you. And the girl is called Alice... She needs your help in the other dimension... and my quarters can help you get there!
Author
... Tell me honestly. Was this your purpose all along? Did you approach me only because you wanted me to help you save the girl?
Ethan
😮💨 I admit that I approached you because of that... but soon after I saw you, I fell for you...
Author
... Alright. But I don't know if I can survive there.
Ethan
Don't worry about that. You will be invincible there. Nobody can hurt you since you are from another dimension. Nobody will even be able to see you as you'll be invisible to everyone except for Alice. Only she will see and hear you...
Author
Oh, that's a relief.
Ethan
Also, you will not actually enter the dimension. It will be your mind voice which will enter. It will take up a solid form in the dimension.
Ethan
And guess what? You get to customize your Mind voice's Appearance! That's fun! You can give it a name too!
Author
Wow! That makes me feel better😄
~Both enter a strange room filled with weird equipment~
Ethan
Here's where you will customize your Mind voice first and name the character.
~Customizes the character~
Author
... And it's done! Ta-da! What do you think?
Zoe
~Author's mind voice
~Invincible (but can Aid in a fight)
~Invisible to everyone except Alice
~Has physical as well as a spirit body.
~Can switch to be a Physical body or a Spirit
~Tied to the Author
~can only be activated in another dimension
Ethan
Wow! Intimidating but cool!
Ethan
Alright then. Are you ready?
Ethan
Ok... lie down on the bed.
~Ethan straps a helmet with peculiar wires around her head after she lies down~
Ethan
This might be a little confusing. But don't worry. I'll wait for you.
~Ethan clicks few buttons~
Author
Ahh... it hurts. (tightly grasps the bed) *gasps*
Author
*Arghh* That hurts...! *Hrgh* No! Ahhh!
Author
Mhm... Ah. That's better.
