Adventure through the Multiverse

Chapter 1- the Void

I don't know how i got here, or even why I'm here.

I am- Was, a normal salary man, living his life of normality in the city of Louisiana. Pretty sure i was partying with friends when i blacked out and ended up here.

Well... here as in, here in a never ending void of emptiness. Maybe i'm asleep? Is this a dream? If it was I should be awake by now...

As of now i'm merely floating. No physical body as far as i'm aware of. Maybe thats why all i 'see' is black. Maybe i have no eyes, thats why i cant see?

"Hello" a sudden voice echoed around me.

I spun around, looking for where it came from, as if that would help considering that i have no eyes.

"Of course you don't have eyes, but you can still see as clear as day... well as clear as the void at least" the voice chuckled.

It sounded like a child, but i cant guess whether its a male or a female. Wait... can it read my thoughts?

"In a manner of speaking, yes, i can 'Read' your thoughts. As for my gender, why don't you take a guess?" The voice spoke happily.

Well i can't take a proper guess. Because from what i am hearing from you, i can neither hear a pitch of femininity and masculinity.

The voice laughed "true, my voice is quite confusing, but guessing my gender is not why you're hear. You're here because you have been selected randomly for a little experiment of mine"

Selected? For what? Experiment? What for? Can you please elaborate?

"Gladly, you have been selected randomly along with 3,000,000 of your genus. You will be reviewed and striped of your very being except your memories. This is so that I can determine if you are the right specimen for my experiment." The voice supplied.

Stripped of my very being? Is that why i'm calm? Wait... what do you mean review? Am i the first one?

"No you are not. 708,519 of your kind have failed and have been sent to hell for their actions."

Hell? Wait, would i be sent to hell if i fail?

"No, but if you are any like them, then yes. They thought that they have been chosen to be reincarnated into another world, and started to fantasize in front of me, some even started to insult me, thinking that i would lower myself to follow their every whim. So i sent them away into another world. Another hell that is, powerless, without the usage of their limbs." The voice growled in displeasure.

Oh... thank god that I didn't do any of that then. So... how do i pass this review of yours?

"You already did. The moment you spoke i looked into your memories and forced out your true personality. And it turns out, you are just the right person for this. Kind and humble, yet downright cruel to those who do harm upon others. You are also quite calm. Normally that would be because of me suppressing your emotions, but even after forcing your personality out, you still remain calm and collected. So congratulations, you have passed."

I sighed in relief, glad that i wont go to hell or whatever. So... what happens now? Whats the experiment?

"Are you familiar with the concept of death? Its illustrations of a skeletal being wielding either a scythe or the sands of time?" The voice asked.

Yes, yes i do.

"I know you do, but its nice to ask from time to time." The voice giggled.

Are you turning me into the grim reaper? I asked with worry. Don't get me wrong, the concept of being all powerful is nice and all, but bringing death everywhere I go is not the life I want. I don't want to be the one to take the souls of good people.. maybe even my friends and family.

"No. There are already too many reapers around. I want to change things, i want to see the embodiment of life walk around different parts of reality, i want to see it spread life across every corner of the multiverse, to correct mistakes." The voice.. smiled? It sounded glad, and i could almost feel it..... smile.

So i will become something that represents life? The opposite of death?

"Correct. You will become Life itself. Do you accept? If you don't, i could easily pull some strings and send you back into your world to live a much better life than you are now. But I must press you to consider, you have no one left except maybe a few friends. This could be quite the opportunity for you."

I frowned... should I? Its correct though, i have no one left... my parents are dead, and i barely know any of my relatives....

Very well. I accept.

The voice laughed softly "good, the process of becoming the embodiment of life might take a few minutes, after all, giving you unlimited power without changing you body might have repercussions"

Unlimited power? Why are you giving me that?

"What would life be without power over it?"

True. Wait, does that mean i can't kill others? Not that i want to, but there are scum out there who does very bad things... does that mean i cant harm them?

The voice gave a full blown laughter "silly child, let me tell you something and you will listen, and you will imprint this into your head. The embodiment of death, when angered, can make others wish for life, but the embodiment of life on the other hand... well, he or she can make others wish for death"

I smiled at that. Consider it imprinted in my head, I laughed.

"It is done, your mortal name will be shed, and you shall now be known as life or 'L' for short, you wont be named anything else. Nothing will be able to harm you, not even death, you have complete power over everything, not even darkness can touch you. You will keep you mortal face but your physique will be changed to that of an athlete. I will not make you good looking or whatever, after all life should be humble no matter how average it looks. You can procreate with others, its not a sin, so long as you don't play with them. You can travel anywhere in any time and exist in any plane simultaneously." The voice said authoritatively.

'Understandable, and thank you for this opportunity.'

I felt myself change, i could feel again, my body formed right in front of me. The weird thing is... i appear to be hollow. I do not have any organs, or even blood... why?

"Why would life itself bleed? You body is but a vessel for you to interact with. You don't need blood, why would you? When everything that lives and breaths is supplied by you, their thoughts and their emotions are your power. When they bleed, life either give or take away." The voice spoke with pride.

"you can visit anytime you want, but i wont be here, this void will become your 'homebase' so to say. So, 'life', where will you go now?" The voice asked. But i have a feeling it already knows.

For the where i would go... I think the best world for me would be Encanto, or at least a parallel of it. I would like to see how i would do... call it a test run.

Hopefully they wont find it too weird that i just appeared there. The encanto is supposedly impossible to enter and exit as long as the miracle exists, and if i appear there, they would probably be suspicious.

"You should just wing it" the voice suggested.

I nodded. Yeah i just might do that, This would be a test for myself on how good i could be at improvising.
