(Mid Chapter Authors Notes)
I stare blankly into the darkness.
"…"
"Lemme guess, Reincarnation?" I ask.
"You got it buddy!" A small white haired lolita wearing a white dress exclaims in a two-toned voice as she suddenly pops into existance.
"And are you god?" I ask. "Here to give me some sort of bullshit power to assist me in whatever world I am going into next?"
"Huh... right on the nose..." She hums as she tilts her head. "How'd you guess."
"I have read countless stories that do this exact thing... frankly this is the best thing that could have happened to me." I deadpan. "Do you have like a list of powers? Or one picked out already?"
"I was just going to let you have whatever you could think up." She shrugs. "As long as it's not too powerful."
"Portals." I state nearly instantaneously.
"That's... it?" The small god asks with a head tilt.
I nod once.
"Eh... I'll give you a deluxe package to make it more interesting for me~ just being able to teleport yourself and other people might get you killed" she hums "Illalsobegivingyouanewde-agedbody."
"What do you mean by tha-"
"Buh bye!"
I shield my eyes from the bright new colors and light, muttering under my breath as I do.
"w-Where am I?" A slightly squeaky voice asks.
"…"
I quickly tap around my clothes, finding a folded piece of paper in the pocket of my pants.
Hiya! It's me, god! I just thought I should leave this note with you explaining a bit about your new body.
Your new name is Teal Indie, you are currently 11 years of age and your birthday is on March 21st.
Your current powers (That I am allowing you to know of) include:
1: The ability to create portals between 2 places, the size and distance of said portals depending on your own strength.
…
And that's it... not very powerful combat-wise, but it should keep you alive for a while!
Now, here is an image of yourself!
*Picture of a child with deep blue hair, so deep that it could easily pass off for black except near the ends, he has regular blue eyes and pale skin that really compliments his look of TOTAL CONFUSION*
Now, go out into the world and be interesting!
'portals aren't powerful?' I frown.
I hold my hand out, palm facing the sky, a small grapefruit-sized disk appearing in the crisp morning air right above.
It is currently a sort of misty black circle that spins slightly because I have it connected to no other point.
I summon a second about a foot below it, before picking up a rock from the ground and placing it in between the two portals.
*Fwub Fwub Fwub Fwub*
I watch as the rock quickly falls in between the two portals.
'this should be fast enough...'
I remove the top portal and create another one pointed out into the forest.
I watch as it flies off into the distance, smiling slightly as I hear a couple branches crack as it arcs through the treetops.
I pull a combat knife from a sheath attached to my waist.
"At least she had the foresight of giving me a weapon in this random forest..." I sigh. 'I don't even know where I am!'
I look down.
'thankfully I am on a path... I guess I'll just follow this.'
I pause my walk as I come across something... strange...
It's a large wolf like creature that seems to shift between walking on its hind legs and all four, it has a mask of bone and several bone spikes poking from its body.
"…"
'Is that a motha' fuckin' grimm?!'
'At least I know where I am now... or at least the dimension...'
Its head snaps over to me and it looks like it is about to charge me.
I open a portal under its foot and close it slightly once it falls inside, locking it in place as it inadvertently kicks itself in the face.
I then dash AROUND the spooky demon wolf and continue down the path, releasing my hold on the portal when I am a safe one thousand or so feet away.
'I wonder if that sliced off the limb or not...'
I tilt my head and fold my hands behind my head. "Ah well, questions for later~"
I hunch over slightly. 'Dear god... how long have I been walking?! An hour?! Three hours?! TEN MINUTES?!'
I wipe my forehead and slowly walk forwards, starting to just reach the top of the hill I am walking on. "Yeesh"
"DAAAAMN" I sigh as I finally reach the top of the hill, revealing a large city fairly close. 'at least I made it am I right?'
I jog down the hill and turn off to the left, reaching the wall in a couple of minutes.
'let's see if this works...'
A portal opens in front of me, granting me sight to the other side of the wall.
I quickly hop through it.
I let out a few quick pants as I rest my hands on my knees.
'I can't hold those larger portals open for long, can I?'
My stomach growls at me. 'ugh... I need some food...'
I blink several times. 'annnd I know just how I am going to get it!'
I search for a vending machine, eventually finding one for drinks and one for snacks after about 30 minutes.
I wave my hand, opening two portals and causing a drink to fall into my hand.
"Mountain... doodle?" I ask slowly with a small head tilt.
Then once more, this time in the food vending machine. "Plays potato chips?"
I shrug and continue on my way.
'annnd now I live in a cardboard box like a fuckin hobo~!'
'GREAT!'
I lean back against the wall I placed the box against.
'at least this will hold out for the light shower to pass...'
The patter of rain striking concrete and cardboard lessens... then it completely stops.
I stretch as I leave the safety of "The BoxTm"
*Click*
Something is pressed against the back of my head. "Alright, kid... no sudden moves... come with me and you won't die."
I create a small coin sized portal inside the gun's barrel.
Somebody leaps down from a building. "Oi. Leave the kid alone." A man with a gruff voice grumbles.
The man behind me instantly swerves around, turning me around and placing a hand around my neck, putting the gun up to my temple. "Stay back or the boy gets it."
I look back at the man behind me.
"Bored now..." I sigh, pulling the trigger of his gun.
"NO WAIT-" the man in front of me shouts.
The man behind me spits up blood as he flies backwards, a slowly expanding circle of red flowing from a hole in his stomach.
I wink once at the man in the distance and fall INTO the floor as I open a portal below me, reappearing a couple buildings away on a roof, the portal quickly closing behind me.
'PoRtAlS aRe WeAk In CoMbAt' I mentally scoff.
I hop off the roof and fall into a portal that shoots me up onto the next roof.
'huh... I can hold these better than the full standing height portals...'
I stretch. 'and it just feels SOOO natural~'
"Hup." I grunt as I leap off this building as well.
I continue my building hopping until I reach a nice 2 story building without a roof access and with several pipes and vents to take cover by.
'time to start training my semblance into an ungodly weapon of mass destruction~'
I open a small portal, roughly the size of a pen's tip.
I feel a MASSIVE drain as the portal starts sucking in air at a fairly slow pace.
The portal quickly snaps shut after I run out of energy, not even being able to hold it for a second.
I sigh. "I clearly need some more work if I can't hold a portal that size for more than a couple of seconds..."
I pout. "That's how I was going to solve most of my problems... but I am too weak to even banish a gnat..."
I roll my eyes. 'insert obligatory training montage...'
I have been in this god forsaken world for about a month now, and I have really grown strong! And by strong, I mean I could do that pen-tip-sized portal thing for TWO seconds now... instead of just less than one!
I slouch on a bed of coats and clothing I have stolen with my portals, just under a small tarp that is hung by the corner of an ac unit.
A piece of paper materializes in front of me.
Dear Teal Indie,
HI! It's me again! Good job on surviving! As a reward for surviving this long, I am going to grant you the knowledge of your next portal power!
Basically, you may unlock a separate dimension that you may retreat into whenever you want! (provided you have the energy of course) Currently it is pretty small, but eventually, it may expand to the size of a planet!
You can enter it fully and close the starting portal without worry, because when you try to leave again, the portal will appear in the same place as where you originally opened and closed it, however, for excess mana you may move the opening point, allowing you to get out of hairy situations.
As I said, good job surviving a month, here's to 11 more!
- Godess-chan
I shrug and open a palm sized portal, and stare inside.
"EEP!" I instantly close it as multiple red eyes stare back.
"…"
I open it again, looking into the black abyss, red eyes EVERYWHERE.
"blatant plagiarism aside... this is pretty cool."
I let out a nice and long groan as I stretch, then I poke my head into the portal
"BOI THIS IS ONLY ENOUGH ROOM FOR A FUCKING CHAIR!"
The room- if you could even call it that- is a nice and small four feet by four feet by five feet, the longest direction being height.
"I'm fucking calling this 'the upside down' from now on..."
I pull my head out and close the portal.
'now the question is: 'should I act like a mischievous god?' And the answer might surprise you...'
'I'm feeling a 'yeah'… not gonna lie'
'hell, this isn't even my semblance, god knows what that is, so I think I could pull off the mischievous god routine...'
"No use staying here" I shrug as I open a portal to 'the upside down'
I roll up my matress as barely manage to fit it in after expanding the portal slightly, then, after scooping up my pillow and scattered clothing that I use as blankets, I follow.
Now that I get a better look at it, it ISN'T just a black abyss with red eyes, it is actually a night sky with thousands of brilliant stars in the distance... well, 'distance' considering that they are within arm's reach.
'let's see about this...'
I focus back on where I was, causing one of the eyes to enlarge slightly and show me where I just was through a small, barely seen portal.
I flatten out my mattress and lay down.
'ugh I need more leg room... wait can't I just-'
The room shifts as the roof comes down a foot or two, expanding outwards in both of the horizontal directions.
"this is the feckin life~" I hum as I fold my arms behind my head.
"…"
"I wonder if I can sneak into a movie theater like this."
I lay, without a care in the world, a recently acquired bag of popcorn and a large soda in my hands.
I shift the dimension of 'the upside down' forwards another inch.
'shame I can only move about an inch every 30 seconds...'
I take a long sip of my bubbly caffeinated drink.
'In this form it takes me 6 fucking minutes to even move a foot...'
My portals to 'the upsidedown' are a bit weird, I can summon them immediately if I am on the outside... (The cost being larger the farther away I am) but inside... everything seems to slow to a crawl... I guess it is a small price to pay for literal invulnerability~
The box is getting bigger as well... the ceiling is almost a full millimeter higher than when I first got here an hour ago... admittedly most of this was spent outside, but having a portable home like a turtle is great fun!
It allows me to eat and sleep in peace!
I yawn. "Bored now..."
I fall through the mattress, landing on my feet about 20 feet from where I was staying in my dimension, soda in hand.
I watch as four boys run after a smaller girl- the girl being maybe 11 or 12- in a red cloak.
'it's always fucking Cardin eh? Ah well... interacting with the main cast sounds pretty fun~'
The girl dips into an alleyway, the four boys following.
I shrug and fall into the floor.
"Alright, dork! Apologize and ill beat your face in!" The leader steps forwards as oh look! This alley turned out to be a dead end!
"Sh-shouldn't it be 'or'?" The small cloaked figure asks.
Cardin responds by launching his fist towards her head.
"YANGHELP" Ruby wimpers while covering her head... however the punch never lands.
"Grk-" Cardin's head is snapped to the right by his own fist, a portal opened in front of his arm and redirecting the punch to his right.
I casually announce my prescience with a simple sentence. "Now now, isn't it a bit rude for four big strong-dumb- boys to pick on a single small girl?"
They all look over to me and flinch back as they see me sat in a portal of eyes and stars.
I hop out and close the portal behind me, pointing to Cardin.
"Your next line is 'W-Who do you think you are PUNK!' To you~"
Cardin gets up, his punch actually knocking him on his ass. "W-Who do you think you are PU- *Gasp*"
Everybody in the alleyway gasps as well.
"H-How did you do that?" I ask.
"H-How did you do that?" Cardin asks at the same time I do. *Gasp*
"That's a stupid question..." I grin. "The real question is... 'do you want to fight a god like me'? Cause that's what's gonna happen if you continue doing what you are doing~"
ゴ
ゴ
ゴ

They all take a step back.
*Fwub* *Fwub* *Fwub*
Cardin and his group of cronies look behind him to see a trashcan rapidly picking up speed by falling into a portal repeatedly.
"I would run before that trashcan hits terminal velocity... it could probably break through a brick wall then~"
They all scream in terror and run away.
"Cool." I shrug, dispelling the lower portal and allowing the trashcan to crumple onto the floor.
"THANKYOU!" Ruby exclaims as she tries to move on to the many questions she has. "HOWDIDYOUDOALLTHAT?!ISYOURSEMBLANCEPORTALS?!IFSOHOWDIDYOUSEETHEFUTURE-"
I fall into the floor, popping out on the roof of the building above Ruby, where I sit down with my legs hanging over the edge.
She rapidly looks around eventually looking up towards me.
"You have a lot of untapped potential, we should fight someday." I wink once, stand, then fall backwards into an eye-portal to 'the upside down.'
"Rubes?!" A new voice shouts as she runs into the alleyway.
"YAAANG!" Said person suddenly gets tackled by a red blur. "YOU MISSED THE COOLEST THING IN THE WORLD!"
"ow." Yang mutters from the ground.
She slowly sits up. "hm? 'coolest thing in the world?' How could I miss it if I am right here?"
"Noooo you don't understand." Ruby whines as she hops up.
"This boy was about to punch me, but then he punched himself in the face because of a portal! Then this kid showed up in this freaky eye portal and was all-" she continues in a mock gruff voice, trying to sound more boy-ish as she bounces slightly. "Now, Now isn't it rude for four boys to pick on a small girl?"
Ruby takes a deep breath as she continues her story in her regular voice. "then he hopped out of it and pointed to the guy who punched himself and was all-" *Back to the Gruff Voice* "Your next line is 'who do you think you are, punk' *Back to normal voice* AND THE GUY ACTUALLY SAID IT WORD FOR WORD!"
"ANDTHENHEPUTATRASHCANINAPORTALAND-"
I tune her out as her slowly increasing pace gets faster and faster
Yang blinks. "I'm gonna be honest... I only got to the part where you said you were about to get punched..."
She smiles in a sickeningly sweet way. "Now, why don't you tell your dear sister who tried to punch you and I will go have a firm talking to them~"
"Nono please don't do that! I accidently tripped and he spilled water on himself because of me! DON'T KILL HIM YANG PLEAASE!"
'okay... she is fucking adorable...'
I yawn and stretch slightly, closing the small portal I had been using to listen in on their conversation and another that I had been using to watch.
I place a sleeve from a nearby shirt over my eyes. 'now im gonna take a little nap.'
Sup! This was the other thing I was working on besides 'Monster Huntersman' now I am going to ask you a question, should I write more of this, Monster Huntersman, while I take a small break from the remnant gamer?
Until Next Time~
