The Multiverser: The Curse of Absolute Power

Throughout everyone's lives they will, always, at some point, think "If I were him/her, I'd…." when they read, watch, or play a story. They have this perfect way for a story to go in their head. Sometimes they're right, other times not. Sometimes they're good, and others…..not so much. But they are there.

But, has one really ever stopped and thought for a moment; "Isn't everyone's life a story?" I'd say so. All people's lives are stories. And all stories are about people. Oh, but those stories I'm speaking of aren't about real people…Or are they. Some stories are so well done, the characters just so believable, that they have to be real. And in a way they are. But we can't reach them.

And so we write. We write these perfect stories that were in our heads. We write ourselves into the stories to make these perfect outcome happen. And often times make ourselves very capable of doing so. But, those are stories too.

"All people's lives are stories. And all stories are about people." When I randomly came to this final conclusion it was both the greatest moment of my life, and the most damning.

I died, but my consciousness would not go. I found myself among the stars, shining ever so brightly into my eyes, if they were even there at the time. I saw the multiple galaxies that we were unable to reach all around me. I saw the vastness of space, and it was the most beautiful thing I'd ever see.

And then I heard my own name spoken to me in my own voice, but not from my own mouth.

"Duncan"

For a second there, I thought I went insane. I hadn't. That came later.

"Duncan, you have now the knowledge that few seem to grasp. That all stories do exist." My voice said. And I found myself unable to speak.

'That few seem to grasp?' Hundreds of people should have had this line of thinking decades ago!' I thought.

"But what has brought you before me is most surprising. You actually randomly thought of thought of the existence of what were once my most powerful instruments."

Oh, this wasn't good.

"I am the Multiverse. And you are now my newest Multiverser."

'Oh, fuck me. And here I thought that was just my imagination.'

"But I will not make the same mistake I had with those who came before you. Before I set you loose, you will learn what it means to have the power you now possess. To do that, you must experience what eternity feels like."

And what others would perceive as a few seconds, were literally centuries for me. Eternity isn't all it's cracked up to be let me tell you. It's nothingness. Absolutely. Nothing. And to leave one alone with their own thoughts is maddening. So I went insane for the first trillion years. Eventually, that got boring. So I went sane, very, very sane for the next few centuries. Then that bored me too. So I decided to be both. And then the teachings started.

I learned what I could do. Any reality I was in, was mine to shape to how I needed and saw fit. I changed my appearance to how I wished. A black and red modern Connor from Assassin's Creed 3 hoodie (Hidden blades included), ninja leggings and made myself taller and more in shape, a swimmer's body. And I crafted my weapons. My pistol sword, a straightened katana with a revolver built into the handle. I named it Bright Shadow. It's sheathe turned the weapon into a rifle which I named Samantha. And my revolver. A mixture of older and modern pistol designs that I christened Machina.

With all this knowledge at my disposal I was ready to choose where I could go in the multiverse. There were quite a few I had wanted to go to. How could I choose? But, that's the thing about a Multiverser. The have power that makes them only slightly beneath God. Why did I have to choose, when I could be in them all at once?

S'up readers. This what I hope to be the first in a series of stories of me as one of, if not THE, most overpowered self-insert ever. I will be serious. I will be crazy. I will sarcastic and very literal. I will quote other video games and movies and other things. I will use powers from them too. I will romance characters, technically a harem, but at the same time not. I got rules about that kind of thing. And at the end I hope this series last. Keep in mind, this is my first fic ever. I do want your comments. But no flaming. Just constructive. And as another note, if anyone else wishes to become a Multiverser, I don't necessarily see anything wrong with that. But if you do, message me first and let me see some of it before it's posted. Just because I might suck doesn't give anyone else the excuse to if they have the chance to turn this idea into something great. I WILL HAVE THIS LIVE ON SOMEHOW! But that's just about it. The realities I'll definitely be in are Mass Effect, Dragon Age, and RWBY. There will be mentions of others that I'm in, but I can only write so much. And I got classes that I really need to focus on, so these stories might be sporadic in updates. But I'll try to update and post the first chapters to each soon. Until that happens, I will sees you guys llllater.
