I Became the Nightmare of the Multiverse

[9] It has begun.

The girl with the unusual hair color sipped her tea, her legs crossing the chair. Accompanied by the same skeleton whom was named Kurosawa and stared endlessly at the screen, perhaps this is entertaining said the skeleton whom grabbed a chair as well.

NIGHT's POV:

I SIGH as I spend my last days of this castle with every papyruses I've made and requested to make a portrait of me, hanging by the near corridor. I drink the matcha tea the servants had prepared just as I requested, I blow the surface of the tea trying not to get burnt. My sockets linger at the hidden door behind my study, where Dream rests until he wakes up. Another 500 years, Corrupt repeats. "This whole 500 years, will it be fast?" "Depends on how you view it the first time, for me it is." The figure covered with goop responded with ease, eyeing the door from time to time. "Until when can I leave?" "You need to match the multiversal time where Mare once left." In case you don't know, Mare is the name we used for the former Nightmare of the past multiverse. I groaned, rolling my pupils as I turn my attention at the three clocks placed on the wall. One clock for the multiversal time colored with Charcoal and yellow, one clock for DreamTale colored with purple and yellow, and the last clock is for this AU Navy and Teal. I linger more longer on the multiversal clock, waiting for it to strike at exactly 4:50 in multiversal time. I anxiously stared at it, almost dropping the cup of tea. I squint slightly so I can see the long and short hand pointed at, there is two long- UGH JUST CALL IT LONGER AND LONGEST FOR GOD'S SAKE!

I glared angrily and trying to calm down from my state, eventually hearing Corrupt's hums. "You're quite the peculiar, it's the first time I saw you like this." "What?" "How should I put it, perhaps too expressive of emotions?" He questions himself, sounding unsure and insecure about his response. "You've been quite mad for a while, y'know." "..no comment." He just simply sighed, I shrugged that off. "Perhaps you've been encountering a certain spirit?" He asks with an immeasurable curiosity lacing within his words, I perked up instantly with his topic. "What, tell me that!" I grumpily demanded from the goop lord, he just sighed and told me about all of it.. "Wraiths are said to be creatures that are created when something goes wrong in spellcasting. This is most often the result of a witch or wizard who tried – unsuccessfully – to extend the years of their lifespan or tried to manipulate time in some other form. The result is tragic. In some capacity they get their wish – they are now immortal beings with incredible power. The price they pay however, is extremely high. Their souls are taken away and they are condemned to never reach the spirit realm. This is a terrible fate considering that the spirit realm is often thought to be something similar to Heaven in most cultures and is at the very least considered to be an afterlife. Wraiths are denied this privilege and are forced to wander between dimensions for eternity. Wraiths are soulless creatures and only feel devastating emotions like hatred and despair. They are a type of ghost, but can also be considered to be a type of demon. Though there are instances that wraiths can be considered ‘good’ a specific kind of wraith known as a voror, most wraiths are inherently evil."

"How can you beat those.. Wraiths?" "Wraiths are very powerful creatures and are, therefore, an extremely difficult foe to overcome. They can only be defeated by a holy presence or weapon. Being pure evil, they are not able to withstand holiness of any kind and will either be forced to retreat or destroyed by the opposing force." "what." "What I'm saying is that you can defeat a Wraith by y'know, positivity." "I'll probably take time digesting these information you told me, Corrupt." He just hummed softly and told me to get ready, for the time has come. I blinked twice in disbelief as I stare at the wall once more seeing the time. I sigh as I walked outside, finding a servant. "109." "YES, MY LORD?" The skeleton bowed down before getting up, his short appearance makes him a little different with the tall Papyruses but it's easy for me to tell who he is. "Tell everyone, get the throne room filled with every staff. I have a speech to make." "Also, inform 001 from the highest department that I am going to make a final speech." I ordered, basically there is a ranking system but everyone here is treated equally but you have to respect the high-rankings. Numbers ranking one to ten will be placed to the highest department, the numbers eleven to fifty will be placed down to the high department, the numbers fifty-one to one hundred will be placed under the care of the army as they are trained soldiers, the numbers one hundred below are considered servants or helpers of the castle. The only difference is the respect, you can call anyone by their name since this is equality. Calling someone by a rude name will make you loose rank, thus your rank decreases.

The lowest rank to be ever known in this castle is apparently one hundred thousands, those are people whom multitask and are usually are the right hands of the highest, high, or army. They are considered to be low-ranking and thus, gets all the work. Though, they get equal treatment like the highest department such as needed rests or breaks from the sufferable works. I'll say that 001 has impressed himself for me, I chuckle at the thought as I feel another pain spreading around my chest. I sigh shakily as I hear footsteps, 109. "MY LORD, THEY ARE GATHERED IN THE THRONE ROOM." I turn around to face the skeleton and he immediately escorted and led the way to the throne room. Servants were scurrying off to the throne room, filled with thousands of people. As soon as I reach the entrance of the throne room the room is filled with papyruses, 001 caught up with me and asked of the matters. "Today is my last day, 001." I reminded the skeleton whom looked saddened, but escorted me to the throne. He hurriedly shouted for a mic as one was thrown on his way, giving it to me. He stood by my side and the throne room is filled with many servants, thus making it hard for people to fit in. "I wanna make a short goodbye speech to you all- BUT! I shall return soon, from now on I will not be here. #001 from the highest ranking department - I grab 001 from the side and placed him close to me. - will be taking over!" The crowd murmurs and one yelled loudly. "MY LORD! WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?" I grinned and scratched the back of my head, trying to find the excuse I said to 001.

"I will fulfill my duties to the multiverse as the guardian of Negativity, helping and also recruiting future helpers as well. I will be back in the future centuries, there has been a lot of hassle in the multiverse that needs taken care of." I responded, feeling uneasy with the stares but I got used to it as I stand longer and longer. My hands sweating as the mic is silent for a while. "That is all for today.. I wish you a negative day." I dismissed the crowd on the room, muttering their opinions reactions and thoughts. I was escorted by five guards and 001 on my side on the way out of the crowded area, eventually leading me outside the gate. "WILL WE EVER SEE YOU AGAIN, MY LORD?" "001, I told you it's just.. a couple of centuries. I will return after those centuries." I responded, bidding farewell to the people seen on gate.

"YOUR MAJESTY NIGHTMARE, WE WILL MISS YOU!"

The girl giggles in amusement as the skeleton watched with full interest on the view, eventually watching them leave at the castle.

You're a genius.

Pfft, don't praise me. Night just acted on himself.

Right, are you still continuing this?

The skeleton asked the human, whom doesn't have any intention on answering that.

Emryn, I swear.

The human, supposedly named as Emryn scoffed in annoyance as they stare at the large screen on their side.

I mean, it's interesting y'know!

Especially after a few resets?

Yeah ~

Exposed bit-

Sincerely yours, Lazar.
