Chapter 1: Door Dimension
It was a dream of a lifetime to have what you call a "family", "goals" and "financial stability". Those were the things that a young adult like me always strives to attain in my very lowly life. However, I'm guessing I am not lucky enough to ever acquire those and the people around me can also tell.
By the way, I am Xayze, that is what I call myself or what the writer of this story wanted you to believe. Yes, I am fully aware that I am just a fictional character in this what they call a novel. Needless to say, it is very good that through me I can be a living work of my creator. Well to not spoil the story any further let us step right in my world.
Just imagine in your cute little brain, a world that where poverty and social standing really matter. Well just a parallel of your real world but my world do has its uniqueness. In my world, magic exists and the common but virtuous job is to become a soldier in my country's military. However, sad to say, I was not physically fit enough to qualify because I have a hereditary ailment called asthma. 10% of my clan have this and it is very plausible for me to have it genetically. Because of that fact, my household always limits my life and I become like the personification of a string puppet.
Fairly enough, I have still graduated from a prestigious course in the magic academy in the field of Elemental Manipulation. A promising title where magic became a trend now. Magic in my world is a very new thing because of what happened 10 years ago when wizards from the other universe came into our world and passed their knowledge of magic to the people back then. I was born on its fifth year and naturally possess the talent of magic when the Church of Klyrion came to test magical aptitude of my generation when I was still 5 years old. I was a promising child back then and my parents have high hopes of me becoming a sorcery general in the military.
All things changed when that unlucky accident happened, when I have fallen down the stairs so badly. I was rushed to the hospital and my parents learnt the truth of my physique from the magical doctor that I have asthma and no known cure is available. From my childhood until adulthood my parents were there to fully takeover my life. I know that I am not mentally gifted of a strong body but I have a life that only I must control and I have decisions that people around me must accept and respect.
I know this may sound boring, but do you have any idea why I know I am just a fictional character in this chapter you are reading ? Your straight answer might be, "because that is what the author wants the readers to know". Yes, that is right naturally and logically. To add to that, I've known the fact due to my knowledge in elemental manipulation and natural prowess for magic. When you manipulate dark energy and combined it with light magic you can create a contradiction between these two and thus a rift appears.
The rift is a portal to the door dimension. I have tried walking right through it and I saw bizarre things my mind cannot easily comprehend. The rift contains many doors that were access gates to other universes. I brazenly open one door that says "Book Universe". Inside the door, I saw a beautiful world with jargons and unfamiliar creatures. The people there wear wild variety of clothes.
A little female kid suddenly approaches me and ask.
"Big sister, are you also a fictional character ?".
I was quietly shock to the question and ask, "Are you also?".
She reply, "Yes and I am called the little red riding hood".
"So what's your name little girl ?"
"I don't have one. My author did not gave me a name."
"Author? What is this author you're saying ?"
"The author is my creator. What you see to me is what also the author imagines what I must look and how I will end up in my story."
"This is weird, sweetie. But the creator I only know is the god Klyrion."
"Maybe that god you are saying is your author".
"I guess so, little girl".
"Red is fine, big sis".
"Okay red. I have one question to you, Red."
"Yes, what is that big sis?"
"Do you happen to have some kind of power?"
"Power? Oh right, I have this power of hacking a bad wolf".
"So that power brought you to this universe?"
"Well, my author brought me here. When the big bad wolf ate me along with my grandma, I was suddenly transported here and a man who identified himself as my author met me. Though, I'd forgotten his name though."
I was still a little bit not convince about the story the merry girl is telling me. Then I suddenly pass out.
"Hey, big sis! (in panic, she tries to wakes me up) Somebody help!"
She's yelling and crying. She pulls me to a nearby tree with strong effort. She is gushing a lot and catches her breath after successfully pulling me over. Suddenly a light rain comes and the night is fast approaching in this world. The door from which I came through suddenly dissipated. The girl makes fire with the still dry twigs and leaves under the bark of the tree.
Unfortunately for us, trouble comes because a large cobra-like snake has taken interest in making us its dinner for the evening. The child is in panic and wakes me up but I am still not waking up.
"Hey, big sis. Wake up. A large snake is going to eat us. Pleeeease!", while slapping my face.
The child see a magical item in my bag, a dagger, and throws it on the snake. The dagger hit the body of the snake and then glows up and the snake suddenly turns into dust. This magical item has the magical ability to disintegrate cells. In my world, this item is prohibited and only use for scientific purposes but by luck I got one from the time I was cleaning my home's backyard.
The panic girl yells out in happiness and thank her god. She steps right unto where the disintegrated snake was and sees a white pearl. She picks it up and puts it in her pocket. Minutes from that, I wake up and see the girl cooking some meal in the cauldron from her backpack.
"Thanks to God, you're awake now big sis! Here get some of the meal I've cooked."
"Sorry about that, Red. I think I've drained a lot of mana. It must be hard on you when I passed out."
"Yes, you're quite heavy big sis! Hahaha", she laughingly said
I become embarrass and laugh along.
