《GALACTIC: Myth, Magic, and More》Time Travel, Dimensions, and Multi-Verses
Advertisement
It is canonical that there are multiple universes, and that everyone in the story is aware of them. The universes go by numbers, and the universe that Ace lives in, is Universe 7. The Universe in which the Regal Empire is in, is Universe 8. There are 40 Universes total. There are parallel universes, but their technology at the present is not able to travel to the other.
The only way in the story someone travels to a parallel universe, is through Lush, the god of Beauty of Choice.
Rules
You cannot travel to a universe that is not next to the other. For instance, a person in Universe 7 could travel to 6 or 8, but not 5. This is because of the way the worm holes connected to universes are, and because of each universe's laws of physics. The universes next to each other have similar laws of physics, but the further one gets, the more different it would be.
If one did manage to get from Universe 7, to say, Universe 20, it would be an incomprehensible sort of sensory experience and distortion of their known reality, and they would most likely die, as their own make up and structure would not exist in such a different universe, with such a rapid sudden change.
You cannot travel to a parallel universe that is not in one's own. For Example, Ace travels to a parallel universe 7 in which the genders of the characters are different. He could not, however, be in his own original Universe 7, and try to travel to the parallel dimension of Universe 8. He could however, go from Universe 7A, to the parallel Universe 7B, and then to Universe 8B.
You can affect other universes. You can affect parallel universes, and dimensions as well. The consequences can be good, bad, or neutral.

Each universe has its own laws of reality, therefore some truths in one different reality would be fiction in another. In Universe 7, magic was the work of fiction until those from Universe 8 came, and introduced it to them. They influenced another Universe, but it was only possible because their laws of physics and reality were not too far apart.
A person inside a Universe does not exist at the same time as their other self does in the next Universe. This is self correction, and prevents time paradoxes. This means, for instance, Person A in Universe 7, could not exist at the same time in Universe 8. They could, however, exist at a different time in Universe 8.
Travel through universes is only possible through wormholes. Travel through great distances in the same universe is only possible through wormholes as well.
There are gaps between Universes, and it is unknown how to get there.
Dimensions are different aspects that affect one Universe, but not another. Think as dimensions as functional parts of Universes. Each parallel universe has its own dimension that helps it function as well. They only affect the Universe it is attached to, but this can easily change. It is the one rule that can "bend". If someone from Universe 7 were to bring an aspect of one of their dimensions to Universe 8, it would affect it. This is how the Regal Empire had changed Universe 7 with the introduction of magic.
Some dimensions of Universe 7 are Heaven and Hell, respectively.
Some universes have a god/goddess, multiple gods, or none.
Universe 7 has a God, but he doesn't like to come around and meddle with free will. Universe 8's gods love to bother everyone and anyone, and Infiniti makes it quite clear.

No Moon
Vree liked his humans. They were kind, clever, and tended to be adorable, in the way that a small, particularly spiny cub was adorable right before it bit you. Of course, small adorable cubs usually couldn’t shapeshift or burst into flame whenever it suited them. Tusca hired a teenager on a whim, and a doctor because they were old friends. Unfortunately, nothing is ever simple when a Red Baron is at the helm.
8 59A Theft Of Stars
The only law between the stars is the morality man takes with him. The Universal Church of Alcomer, invests its Grand inquisitor, Joshua, with the task of discovering the reason behind the disappearance of mass in a huge area between the stars. Will he be able to stop the rape of the universe?
8 218The Oresteia (Modernized)
All three of the great Greek Tragedians have written plays about the bloody chain of murder and revenge within the royal family of Argos. Yet theirs is in fact not a story of tragedy, but rather one of redemption. As they move from darkness to light, from rage to self-governance, from primitive ritual to civilized institution, their spirit of struggle and regeneration becomes an everlasting song of celebration to be heard throughout the ages. Forming a discourse set against the emergence of Athenian democracy out of a period of chaos and destruction, the Orestian plays are compelling stories of the tensions between our obligations to our families and the laws that bind us together as a society. In the beginning, we witness how a king’s decision to sacrifice his daughter and turn the tide of war inflicts lasting damage on his family, culminating in a terrible act of retribution. In the aftermath of regicide, we behold how a son must set out to avenge his father’s death by committing a most egregious sin. In the end, the sinner is tormented by supernatural powers that can never be appeased, but ultimately finds redemption and ends the curse on his house once and for all. Woven through all of this is the story of a friendship so close that it elevates itself to brotherhood - Where the blood of the covenant is shown to be indeed thicker than the water of the womb. In this very brief twelve-chapter modern rendition of the Orestian plays, I have chosen to place my focus mainly on the lives of the characters Orestes and his best friend Pylades. The chapters, each around 2000-2500 words, are split up evenly between them in first-person narrative. I hope that you will come to enjoy reading this heartwarming story, but more importantly, that you see how the conflicts portrayed in the story, whether human or institutional, are still much very relevant to our societies today. Note on Sources: The details of this story is very loosely based on The Oresteia by Aeschylus. And I mean very loosely. Other sources that I referenced for detail and inspiration are Mythology by Edith Hamilton, Electra by Sophocles, and Iphigenia in Tauris by Euripides. You may also find that I have quoted some of these works, and others (such as Shelley's Ozymondaeus), without citations (average of 1-2 such quotes per chapter). I did this because I do not have the ability to describe certain scenes nearly as well as some of those writers. If you read a particularly beautiful piece of prose here, chances are it's probably stolen lol. Also, I wrote this during the summer between my high school senior year and my college freshmen year. It was the summer of 2020, and being quarantined apparently gets my creative side out lol.

8 155Superficial Story
A story which is very, very, very superficial. Made because i can't write Ode to Freud right now because of something inside of me going "meeeeeeeeeh, don't wanna". So, reincarnation tag, op mc tag, YOLO tag, fuck you tag, all the fucking tags. Also, 18+ plus 'cause reasons. Also squared (²), no rape, no angst, no drama. Me don't like rape, me don't like angst, there might be some drama. edit: Shit, there's lot of rape. No angst however. Score.Good reading. Please comment because i'm a comment whore vampire incubbus and won't be able to keep reading without being feed with admiration and emotions from you, poor mortals. FEEEED MEEEE WITH ADMIRATION AND LOOOOVE!WORSHIIP MEEE!Also, if you want to really worship me then you can use this cat’s photo (https://v1.std3.ru/77/01/1374491618-7701b750f71457f08f766651f3c84875.jpeg) with my name written on the back of the picture. I would really appreciate sacrifices of healthy, natural, organic food, especially ripe, sweet, exotic and juicy fruit (you can eat the food 5min. after offering it to me in a clay or ceramic plate), rocks from abandoned wet mines, mild incense and a silent, nice, relaxing place. If you can chime a small bell twice or put some relaxing music in the background, dude… that. Would. Be. Fucking. Awesome!Thks, ‘k, bye.
