*Revielle plays over intercom* the days finally over is what most are thinking. Taps signals the eod(end of day) for us civilian contractors uncle sam wouldn't dare pay us a minute of overtime. All this means for me is a 30 min drive home to listen to my wife nag at me yell at me till about 10pm then she'll go to sleep and I'll head to the guest room. Some may wonder why we don't get divorced. For her that's easy I support her and she has no one else. for me I guess it's a similar answer for many of the whys in my life. One word apathy.

But regardless time to get back in the ole beater and enjoy my short time to myself. I walk toward the rust mobile, a 1985 ford escort wagon. At one point in time I believe it was white, now it's a faded grey with hints of a well known grungy orange color(aka Rust). But she still runs... For now.

As im heading down the interstate I get into my usual Grove and start to zone and go to my fantasy word. As unsafe and unrecommended as I know it is, whats life without a little risk eh?

After what felt like an unusual amount of town I reawaken my finner senses, because I realize im not home yet. I've been following the same exact route for over a year at the exact same times. Something is definitely off, I should be home by now. I take a look around and everything is frozen except for me. My own car isn't even moving. Then it hits me "holy shit I have a super power. This shits real my fantasy has come true." Then a cold chill runs down my spine and I hear a very ethereal voice.

"You earthlings are a bit strange though I suppose I was told your planet is still very immature. So surprised by a simple localized time dilation" his voice registered and I understood every word but his mouth never moved. I just stared at his face it was so strange. To describe his face in words would be almost impossible, but my first instinct was a draenei from World of Warcraft but green with the proportions of an elf. Strange right ?

"Mhmm" he broke the awkward silence."Im sure your very surprised and maybe slightly disappointed you didn't develop any superhuman powers, but don't fret young one I come to you with an offer beyond your wildest dreams haha" he chuckled softly. I immediately retorted "So first off can you prove I didn't die or am hallucinating. Because this is very very strange". " But of course,just not here it is difficult keeping the local time in stasis and maintaining the connection between two Universes. would yoy mind coming with me?" Before I had time to articulate an answer. He raised his hand(hoof?) To his heart then repeats in both my mind and im assuming aloud. " By my blood and soul no harm may come to you, and you may return at your leisure. I, pride of the legion Xelo, personally will ensure your safety and return if desired, I swear by the creator of the multiverse". A light enveloped him then enveloped me and a prompt appeared in my vision.

Xelo, pride of the legion, wishes for you to travel with him. your safety will be ensured do you wish to go with him.

[Y][N]

- ADMINISTRATION OF THE CREATOR

"Just think yes; that's the easiest way to accept the prompt if you wish so, but if you insist you can reach out touch the [Y] I've heard newer species find the sensation very interesting. Whichever you prefer make haste". He grumbled a little visibly flustered. I quickly decided to reach out and touch the [Y]. The texture felt exactly as I thought a very brittle plastic. Then an idea popped into my mind I wanted to feel velvet and as I did the textured changed. What amazing technology! Before I had time to try anything else the prompt disappeared I saw a koneiving smile on the presumed draenei's face, followed by extremely strong g force. Stronger then the force when halo jumping from a c130. A light so bright I thought I could smell my pupils burn.

Just like that like I a blinked I came to I was sitting in a chair in front a desk where set Xelo at it's head. He looked at me smiled again and said "It's always fun to watch someone experience interdimensional travel for the first time you took it suprisingly well of I hadn't known better then I'd say it wasn't your first time ?" . It took a minute to register that question, then I explained to him my time in our military force and what the feeling related to for me. He scoffed then I retorted "So know that I've excepted that im crazy and gone out if mind will you break it down for Mr. Pride of the legion" I said sarcasticly just to test the waters . "Of course, of course." Suddenly the area around me turned red and I felt a fear so deep I knew I was no match for Xelo I knew he could breath and I would die. I knew then true fear. Fear of the unknown is one thing. But when you know at your core the being in front of you could rip your soul out just from looking at you. You feel helpless then just like that, a snap and the feeling vanished he sternly replied," I've treated you like an equal because I respect your potential that doesn't mean we are. You will respect me is that understood?" I nodded my head and he continued.

" So as you've gathered I am Xelo, pride of the legion. The titles in the CoM are very serious. Mine for example can only be won once every 10,000 years. This also leads to what im about to tell you,but first. my species by the way as im sure you are curious are the Dructog people we range from the multiverse #0321. Im sure you have more questions then I have time for but I'll give you a quick summary and leave you to figure out the rest then we will get on to why you are here. First you may be wondering why I keep mentioning multiverse because they are real. We are only able to maintain a connection with another universe or species when they've advanced enough to discern the theory for themselves. At the moment I've arrived you have just reached the required knowledge of the multiverse for us at the CoM to make contact and you are the chosen warrior or ambassador however you view yourself. Suprisingly the multiverse was first introduced as an idea in your planet in the early 1500s crazy right? But all it takes is for someone to mention it being a possibility. Anyway we have been observing your homeworld for the past 517 years so we have quite a bit of knowledge on your people. I was assigned to the task of choosing a representative of this up and coming world and I have chosen you as I stated before . Any questions so far ?"

So many questions filled my mind but after seeing his show of force I didn't want to aggravate him much it really did set me in my place." I guess the first is what is this CoM you keep mentioning ?"

" Oh of course im always getting sidetracked and forgetting the basics the CoM is the collarbation of multiverses which I am what you consider an employee. as you can probably guess it's like the NATO of your country but for several trillon worlds, and it actually works haha. Anything else before I continue explaining why you were chose?. Most want to hear this before anything else."

"One last question it seems that not just you but the CoM answer to a higher power for instance you said you as a company weren't allowed to visit a place unless something happens. Im assuming that it's the creator who you swore too before you brought me here is that God? im an atheist by choice but if there's proof I will definitely reconsider."

He looked at me with a very curious look and said,"how observant you are. Asking the right questions well you are correct in the sense it is the creator that prevents us from visiting every multiverse but it isn't a god more like a how do I say it... More like a game creator haha and crazy as it sounds but that's enough questions for now. my turn to speak and offer you a choice. You were chosen to represent you're race. You're species and you're planet in a time honored tradition hosted by the creator. we have created what you know as RPGs and mmorpgs into your world as a test and as practice for you. Now you may have a clue why but you don't have the whole picture. The creator host an ongoing universe where you are in a real rpg. You feel pain you feel hungry and you can die. Though it is very hard too. You haven't been granted the right to participate if you so chose. We know you've always wanted something more in your life and we know you dedicated you're younger years to mmorpgs, and we know you would not say no to this offer. But there's always a catch. You will be forgot by all you know now, and you will have no friends. Only those you find within the game. You have been chosen because you are the most likely person in the world who doesn't care if there forgotten. So how do you answer do you wish to know more and continue or do you wish to go back to the "daily grind" as you call it. Answer now!".
