...............................................Earth Goddess POV..............................................
It's sooo boooring. The only thing I can do is to wait. Right at the start, when I was forming, I could feel all kind of different sensations and I had some fun, but then, after some time passed, everything on the surface stopped moving.
I don't know how much time passed, but at a certain point two being, much like me appeared, they said that they were siblings, the girl commanded and the man commanded ; I thinked that from then on, things would be funny, but I was wrong.
They started to quarrel on everything, even tough they could find only so much arguments; in the beginning it was interesting, but after a while they became annoying, so I made it so that if they wanted to quarrel, they needed to constantly run.
That way I found something to do, and it was also enjoyable to continuously spin, though because of that I started to shift my position, slowly circling the far away big red ball.
Some time passed, but the two who came after me didn't talk to me anymore, I think they might be angry at me, even though I helped them with their quarrels. Spinning is already one of my specialties; one time I tried to stop, but I couldn't, I wonder why?
Today another two beings came, they said that it was thanks to me spinning that they could be born; the two twins also said that they had power over and , they also asked me to never stop spinning and if I could help them. Because I had nothing to do I agreed to their request, so I made some of my magma erupt.
The twins are a lot better that the siblings, they always take care of me when I'm too bored, however there are times when they can't come because they have something to do. They said something about life, but I couldn't understand.
Time passed, and something started to grow on me, at first I was scared, but the twins came to me with another girl and said that they finally managed to create life and the girl with them was . I and nature became friend fast, it was as if we were meant to have fun together.
Not much later, two men with a meanie glare came and hurted me, they said that they were fighting over who was better and because they commanded and , they were the best. I didn't say anything, because to me they both seemed weak, but how could I attack? I never did it.
Fortunately the twins came to help me, could do nothing to air and beat in under two seconds... it's better not to anger the twins, from now on I'll call them bigger sisters, I don't know why but they are already bigger than me.
I decided to sleep for some time, but when I woke up strange things were moving all over me, before I could do anything, two men came to me and said that they were siblings, one of them, the big one one said that he was born when the intelligent races discovered how to use the energy of the world inside them and not outside, he was called .
The other one was continuously saying that no one wanted him because no one understands him, though I couldn't understand what he meant, he told me to call him .
Because those two seemed to like the things that walk all over me, I decided to let them do as they want, it's not like they disturb me, they even made this thing called temple where they go to talk with me; they're quite funny, they never did anything for me but they ask for things.

Though I rewarded the ones who made something new or interesting with earth or metals.
A long time passed, I normally go to have fun with my two bigger sisters every now and then. onee-chan became veeeery smart, now there are some times when I don't even understand what she's talking about, something about love, growing up and the fact that I should always remain as I am.
She started teaching me things like maths, letters, exc, she said that even though we can talk with the mind, I shouldn't know only that. I found out that because the intelligent races like to write more or less everywhere, I was able to learn it very fast, but I decided to escape when she started teaching math.
Apart from when I'm with onee-chan, I'm bored, so I spend my time playing, but my sister always scold me, she says things like: -you can't cause earthquakes because you're bored, you can't change the position of the continents because you think they are unsightly, you can't stop to spin and create an ice age just because you liked that flower, you can't send earth in the space because you think it's funny, exc.-
But when onee-chan sent that city to the bottom of the ocean, onee-chan didn't say anything, why is onee-chan being mean only to me?
Today someone started using a big quantity of my mana, it's nothing for me, but no one apart from me has ever be able to use that much.
I decided to take a look at who was able to do it, and what I found was a lesser ghoul building the most cool castle I have ever seen.
What would happen to the dwarves if they find out they have been surpassed by a ghoul I wonder? I was going to take it and reward him, but my brother stopped me and took it for himself, he said something about the castle being in the Underworld and even if it was not, inside the castle there are some things a child should not play with and he would tell onee-chan about it.
When he mentioned onee-chan I gave the castle to him... and because I was angry I asked the ghoul to make me another castle.
It didn't pass a lot of time and the ghoul built me a temple, asking to talk with me. I used the central statue as my body because it was too cute, it represents me perfectly... maybe from now on I should always use this body.
I was going to let him wait some time because I was still angry, but then the ghoul said that the temple was too ugly and because of that I wouldn't talk to him, so he should destroy it.
MOU, how can you destroy the best temple I ever had? -MOU, you meanie, I just wanted you to wait for another century or two, then I would've answered-.
"You do know that I don't have two centuries of time right? I would've waited at most for a day". His way of talking is strange, he's too intelligent to be a ghoul, is he that person from another world that my sister told me about?
-But, but... you waited only for an hour before trying to destroy my temple- I said looking at him
While I was looking at him, he stretched his hand and patted me on the head... hehe, it's not a bad feeling, no one ever did it to me before, I wonder why?
"Now, now, don't worry about it, don't you want your personal home to be built? If you forgive me, I'll gift this temple to you, what do you think?"

He will also give me this temple? -Really? Will you give it to me? The last time even though I could take it because of the , my brother appeared and said that because you made it here, he was first...-
I don't know why, but I could see a hint of pity in his eyes... it doesn't matter, there are a lot of things I don't understand and nothing ever happened.
"Yes, this temple is for you. Now, I called you to offer this: if you temporarily give me the power to manipulate gravity, I'll build the best home for you".
He said so, then why not? I hope he will make me something even better than the castle: -Mmm... OK-.
Immediately after I gave him some of my powers, I took the temple and he fell... it's not my fault that he fell, he also has my power, so he should be ok; fortunately he was able to stop himself before touching the ground and entered in his dimension.
Well, while he works, I'll change all my temples with the one he built, and also the statues, from now on I'll be known with this form, and not the ones everyone comes up with.
It's strange how the Gods view time, for us one hundred years can be a second, and a second can become a hundred years, so I have no problems in upgrading my temples.
A second later the ghoul reappeared, while he was in there, my power was used massively, so I know he made something even better than the castle: -ne, ne, you finished right? you stayed in your dimension for quite some time-
The ghoul was surprised: "you can feel how much time I worked in my dimension? How?"
Hehe, am I not absolutely amazing? -Well, I am the Earth Goddess, even though I can't tell what you did in tere, I know for how long you manipulated my element, so I can give a rough estimate, am I not a genius?-
"Can you come in my dimension to take a look at your new playgr- house?" For a second he had a disappointed look, but the reason is a mystery... should I really enter with him?
-I don't know, my sister always told me not to go to other people dimension, because in there I would be at disadvantage and they would be able to harm me- .
"Don't worry, as long as you're with me nothing will happen to you, and don't you want to see your new house? I promise that you will be surprised". Well, if he says it like this, it should be safe, right?
-You're sure that you won't be a meanie and make me disappear, right?-
Just as I finished speaking, the ghoul fell in his knees and covered his heart with its claws; is there an invisible enemy? Why does he look like someone just pushed a sword through his heart?
"Cmon, no one will be mean to you, I'll also teach you the functions of your new house and how to use them, ok?". Oh, he recovered, maybe the enemy went away, not like it could see or sense me, still it's strange that I couldn't find it, the world sure is large.
He made an entrance in ten minutes, then we both entered his dimension. The moment I looked at my I was stupefied, this is a lot better than the castle, with this I can show it to my brother and laugh that he only got castle.
After a fast look, I came back and the ghoul started teaching me the how my new house worked. Because there was so much to try I and the Jack played together for a week (at some point he told me his name), my new home is super funny, but the ones I like the most is the one that spins, then there is the one in which we bump in each other, I used all the cars together to beat Jack ruthlessly, hehe.
In the end, there are those things called video games, once I started to play with them, I couldn't stop, and when Jack asked for the reward, I said to him that if he beat me ten times in one of those video games, I'll immediately give him the reward.
Hik... hik... hik... he won all and ten the times, I had no chance to win against him -You meanie, you didn't even let me win one time-.
"eeeh, but you promised that if I won ten times against you, you would give me the reward, you're not going to go back on your word, right?". He's not even a bit sorry, I can see it.
-My sister said that if you promise someone something, then you need to maintain it, so tell me, you have a -. I can do nothing about it, if my sister find out that I didn't maintain what I promised, then I'm in for a two year course in math.
"I want the lightning and neutral affinities, and I also want knowledge; I want to know everything about the various metals, specially how they're used and how they forms in nature. I also want to know how to write and read in every language ever existed and will exists in this world".
Eh? Eh? He wants to know everything about me? I know we had fun together, but isn't this too much? And what does he mean with that last sentence? -I have a question, what do you mean with -
"I mean that if during the time I live a new language is created, you'll update my skill so that it will comprend it; as long as you know, I'll know too. This until the time I die". Eh? Eh? Does he want to keep in touch with me? What do I do? What do I do? Ah, I know, let's go to my sister's place.
-OK, then, then, I need to tell you if your reward can be granted, let me check-.
................................................In another place...............................................
- onee-chan, onee-chan, you need to help me-
My sister appeared in front of me, so I buried my face in her bosom; -Calm down little girl, tell me what happened and I'll go to kill the ones who hurt you-.
-What is ? It doesn't matter, onee-chan, hear me out, a ghoul asked me to know everything about me as a reward of a , he also asked me to meet from time to time, what should I do?-
I could feel the air around onee-chan change, it's the same as when I changed the position of a continent... SCARY. -Oh, I'd love to hear all about how this situation came to be-. Why even though she's smiling I can see something even scarier behind her, we should be the only ones here, right? right?
I could only tell her everything that happened, fortunately, at the end of the story, that scary image behind her disappeared; -Oho, it seems they sent us quite a talented soul, if he was able to play with you for more than a week without dying or you destroying everything-.
-MOU, I'm not that clumsy- I retorted to her.
-Yes, like the time when you decided to make a spectacle in front of a city by making a volcano erupt? that city was wiped out of the map... Now, we were talking about something else, even though the request for the is a bit much, that Jack played with you and gave you something in order to not be bored, so isn't it fine? Just tell him what I'm going to say-.
.......................................................Back to Jack..............................................
-My sister says that I can grant you the wish, because the lightning affinity is 1/6 of the reward, this is because I'm strong against lightning- Hehe, that bully does not dare to do anything to me anymore after onee-chan had a talk with him.
-the neutral affinity is 2/6 of the reward, while the knowledge about me for both metals and the languages is another 3/6 of the reward because you made me play... ah, no, I wasn't supposed to tell you that-.
Ah, he's laughing at me after I granted him the wish to keep in contact; -MOU, because you dare to not take seriously a Goddess, from now on when I finish the games you will make more, or face my wrath-.
Saying that I went back to my sister's place, but for some reason she was rolling in the air laughing... strange, I've never seen her like this, what could have happened?

A Mildly Odd Reality Breaker
Omar receives an unexpected visitor who comes baring a gift—a "registration ticket"—in the form of a small metal card. The ticket is itself an offer to participate in the game, "Reality Break." Accepting this offer means that Omar will be able to perceive the true nature of reality where there is not one, but two dimensions of time, and in this second dimension history changes (and somewhat "frequently"). Along with this, he will also gain access to the "chronopause"; another reality that is not so much parallel to our own as it is perpendicular, which acts as both a place and the natural boundary between non-sequential points on the timeline. Using the chronopause, Omar will become a chrononaut with the ability to travel through time, and as a player, he will be given a cybernetic interface and his own portable extradimensional storage space. It's a strange conversation, but due to Omar's dismally short attention span, he only consciously hears that last bit about the portable pocket space, and that's only after the physics-defying void is opened in his living room and literally waved in front of his face. Reality is certainly stranger than most people realize, but then again, so is Omar. Thankfully, he responds well to shiny things, and for better or for worse, his chronic inattentiveness is the least of his psychological issues. Omar also has a mild form of "Oppositional Defiant Disorder" which presents itself as an occasional, arbitrary need to disobey others (especially authority figures). However, his oddest psychological issue by far is his "abnormally hyperactive" subconscious mind. Outwardly and consciously, Omar is a lazy, apathetic man-child prone to mildly asinine behavior. Subconsciously, he's some sort of genius capable of extraordinary feats of cognition. Most of the time, Omar is a (technically) functioning adult, but in order to live as such, he must rely entirely upon unusual abilities he's completely unaware of, despite the fact that he uses them regularly. Up until now, his life had merely been ridiculous, but now it was also a game. Note: The narrative style is that of a reliable narrator with a "3rd-person sarcastic" POV. This story takes place in the Reality Breakers/Chronopause universe.
