《Dimension leapers》Chapter 8: Home
Advertisement
Maya laid in her bed staring at the ceiling wondering how she could have gotten home. The last thing she remembered was getting stabbed in the back of the neck with something sharp. She looked around her room for anything suspicious but saw only her room the way she had left it before she had gone to school. It was as if she never came and raided her room for clothes. Since everything was the same as she left it that morning before her life changed forever. She tried to use her powers to grab a brush as she did when she was at the hotel, but nothing happend. She tried again only focusing more this time, still nothing. She tried increasing her powers strength with the hand signs The Master taught her. She moved her hands in different orders and then focused on the brush again, but still nothing. She finally gave up and just walked over and picked it up and started brushing her hair looking in the mirror that was on her dresser. She heard the doorbell go off and hurried down to get it hoping it was Nick so he could explain what was going on. When she got to the door she opened to see Nick standing there.
“Oh when did you wake up?” Nick asked.
“Just a few minutes ago, come inside I need to ask you something.” Maya said.
“Ok…” Nick said unsurely.
Maya grabbed Nick’s hand and brought him upstairs to her room. She walked him in and then closed the door.
“So, what happened while I was out? How did we get home?” Maya asked.
“Well after detention you started getting woozy and you said you wanted to go home and so I helped you here. When your family got to the door they brought you up to your room and I left to my house and went to school. I stopped by every day since I brought you here to see if you had woken up yet and so now here I am.” Nick said.

“Stop lying my mom or dad aren’t here to hear you so you can tell the truth.” Maya said calmly but still a bit paranoid.
“I’m not lying that is exactly how it happened.” Nick said.
“Fine I will just ask Sophia then.” Maya said angrily. “I thought i could trust you.” Maya said as she stormed out of the room.
Maya was walking down the street to Sophia’s house to find out what was going on, when she saw a drunk driver heading straight for her, she tried to use her powers to stop the car out of instinct but nothing happened the car was still speeding towards her. She tried to get out of the way but the car stopped very quickly right before it hit her. The car seemed to rewind and go backwards for a little bit and then continued on it’s normal trail that it had just went before when it was about to hit Maya. Maya stared at the car driving in a very uncoordinated way going from the street to the sidewalk and then back to the street. By this point she new something was wrong and that she was being watched. She knew she couldn’t trust anyone, except The Master. She ran as fast as she could to the school which felt really slow because she was used to using magic to get around. When she got there she was panting and sweating so much people could have thought she just took a shower and was holding her breath for a long time. When she got to the school she went into the back alley and found where the fake wall was, only it was real wall now and not an illusion. She ran back home trying to figure this out, she knew she couldn’t trust anyone so she tried to figure out how to fix this on her own. She got to her house and ran into her room and then realized if she had been at her house for the past few days they probably had eyes on her in her house so she could even trust anything in her room for it could be something bad. She ran to an old abandoned building that hadn’t been used for centuries. She entered but when she entered she heard people talking, she then realized it was Nick, Sophia, and Rose talking. She couldn’t hear it though her ears though she could only hear it in her head as if they were telepathically talking to her.

“How do you suppose we get her out.” Nick’s voice said.
“I don’t know” Sophia said.
“Hey guys.” Maya said.
“Did you hear Maya just talk.” Nick said.
“Yeah I did, how did she talk, she’s in a coma.” Rose said.
“I no I’m not I’m in the old abandoned building on the south side of town and I can’t use my powers and none of you know what happened.” Maya said confused.
“What, what town are you in because we are in the old building on the south side of town in Azmar.” Nick said.
“Well I am in Solaris.” Maya said.
“Wait how are you home but we can see you here.” Nick said.
“I don’t know I woke up in my bed after I past out at the ISOOBH headquarters.” Maya said.
“Yeah he injected you with something and you have been out for the past few days and now all of a sudden we can hear you talking but can’t see you. Hmm… we have to figure out how this happened.” Nick said.
“How are we going to get me back.” Maya said.
“Try talking to The Master.” Nick said.
“I tried but it is as if everything we knew since that day is just gone and whiffed out of existence.” Maya said.
“Why are you at the old building anyways.” Nick said.
“This is the only place I can think of that isn’t trapped since this is a different dimension-ish place.” Maya said.
“That’s it.” Nick said with hope in his voice.
“What.” Maya said also hopeful that he came up with a way for her to get back.
“I was doing research from when you were gone to now and I read that there is something called the Dimensional Leaper serum and it is extracted from certain objects that pertain to that dimension called Dimension Leapers. So in other less scientific words if you can find an item that you can only find in that dimension and touch it you will be transported to a new dimension.” Nick said.
“Well how will I know that it pertains to this dimension alone?” Maya asked.
“Well I guess you can’t without your powers.” Nick said
“But I can’t use them they just won’t work.” Maya said as if she was confused and mad that her powers wouldn’t work.
“I bet they are being jammed by some sort of mechanism that Alan setup to keep you there forever.” Nick said.
“Well I’d better go find and destroy it.” Maya said with determination.
Maya left the building.
“Hey Nick.” Maya said.
She waited but there was no reply.
“Nick?” Maya said with question in her voice.
Again there was no answer. She reentered the building and repeated herself.
“Nick are you there?” Maya asked focusing and trying to hear them.
“Yeah we are here, but where did you go?” Nick said.
“What I was wondering where you went.” Maya said.
“Oh you must be standing in a weak point in your dimension.” Nick said.
“Weak point?” Maya said.
“Yeah you can communicate with other dimensions in the weak point of a dimension.” Nick said “I read that too.” Nick finished proudly.
“Oh well goodbye I need to go this power stopper and then find the Dimension Leaper.” Maya said as she stepped out of the building determined to complete her mission.

Luck And Chronomancy
Time Magic is the best magic as everyone knows, although there are lots of unique Talents in the world. Most people only remember Haste because it is hard to get to higher Phases of Chronomancy. That is still enough to make the Talent iconic. A lucky enough Aleatory Talent can position you for greatness or leave you languishing in obscurity. The only true equality in the world is when that glowing message pops up at 8 years old. Even if it doesn't activate until you are an adult at 16 you still know. Sure you can find a new dungeon spawn and get another chance at a rare Talent, even this one, but you have to already be ready to delve into the *Far Wilds*, which is far easier with wealth or family power. This is the story of where my good fortune took me and the difference it made, even among a party of 7 others including an Arcanist. It is a journey of magic and monsters but also math, which some think is actually worse. Luckily I was born with Intelligence and Focus as my personal traits, and my parents were scholars. Of course Chronomancy can also be a frontline combat talent. Versitility well beyond other Elder Talents like Gravity, Abstraction, or Arcana. Might could have worked for me, too. I also met a runaway princess. All the best adventures have a princess. She hated being a noble and we didn't get married but it still counts. Besides she really filled out our front line. All that Leadership training came in handy. I still don't know where she's from. Who cares? How well Haste goes with giant hammers is what's important. I never learned much about anyone in the party, except the one I grew up with. I'm not a people person. I just wanted to optimize dungeon clearing time. *******Story Details******* No romance, politics, or traumatizing content, slice of life, or even dialogue. 1st person narration, like a guide/adventure log. 2000-7000 words a day, maybe 40-60% rpgish combat log with some reasoning on combat decisions, with the rest character Talent discussion and progression stuff. 8 person party with a decent variety in roles. Party members usually have 2 primary functions. Told from the support/control Chronomancer's perspective. Each party member will have 6 Basic/Background Traits, then 3 actual Talents with abilities. Capstone from their Educational Institution, Arbritrary as a gift from the temples, and Aleatory which is decided at birth, revealed at 8, and activated after adulthood at 16. Aleatory Traits ignore requirements and are random why is why they are so important. They'll gain new Talents from finding Dungeons to consume in the *Wilds*. Mature dungeons in cities can provide *Challenges* to raise the Phase of a Talent, up to 3 times from 1 to 4. Each character will get to roughly 8 non-Trait Talents. Attributes come exclusive from Talents, are required by Talents, and provide various effects as well. I designed about 220 Talents with abilities, 4 in each of 4 phases. "Traits" are just Attribute stuff. I'm not sure how many will be detailed in the story, more than 100 for sure. I used Talents because I want to be free of the legacy of tabletop. Half those rules are just because of the limitations inherent in a pre-computer ttrpg. This story mostly uses combat Talents, although like 1/3 of the 220 are for crafting and other society and economy stuff. If you really wanted to be a Thief you might take Intuition, Awarness, and Might for Basic Traits and Deftness, Manipulation, and Trickery for Family/Education. Then you'd pick Acrobatics, and Climbing for Educational Capstone and Arbitrary traits. You Aleatory Trait might be Shadow(Light/Dark) Magic, Umbramancy. A Bard might swap Dexterity for Charisma, Music for Acrobatics, and have gotten Illusion(Shadow/Sound(Air/Force)) for their Aleatory Trait.
