《The Universe In My Mind》Chapter 3
Advertisement
I looked at Dean a bit oddly and I was a little shocked at how he figured me out so quickly. He ended up grinned the whole time once he saw my reaction.
"While you don't talk about it often, I can tell you are passionate about it, usually whenever you seem to focus on it you zone out here in reality." Dead explained as they kept walking.
"You are correct" I simply said and gave a quiet and light applause.
With a smile he continued speaking.
"So, what's going on, I am curious." Dean asked.
I randomly jumped to a star in my mind and began tearing it apart, describing the results to Dean briefly. With an interested expression he seemed rather into it as he usually did. I then realized what time it was and I quickly said my goodbyes and parted to go to my next class.
After I reached my class I decided to stay focused and it proved more difficult than expected, but luckily I managed to get through. Afterwards it was finally my time to go back to my dorm and continue my testing with the book and other objects.
As usual with any object it was impossible to bring them back. Two plastic knives, one fork, three rubber bands, and an alarm clock. Originally, with the plastic utensils and rubber bands, it was not that interesting, same as the book, impossible to move back to reality once put into my universe.
The alarm clock however had a surprise waiting for me, as I put the electronic into the universe, at first everything was rather normal. Then I tried to charge it, shockingly, it worked and I managed to keep it fully charged as long as my attention remained on it.
I hesitated as I looked at a few other electronics, I found that I could quite easily manipulate the alarm clock but I was worried because I didn't have much money so it would be a waste if something happened to the expensive electronics like a phone or light computer in my universe.

I decided to try something out first and I asked around if anyone had a destroyed or unused laptop lying around that I could take. My excuse was I was going to take it apart and then examine some stuff because I was curious but I didn't want to spend the money if I didn't have to.
After around an hour of looking around I finally found someone who had a laptop that had a major dent in it and would not turn on. It was a low-end laptop but for my purposes it was fine. I took the computer back to my dorm, luckily Dean was still in class, and I threw the laptop into my universe.
I tried to charge it and it didn't turn on. Then I tried to do something new, instead of speeding up time I decided to try to reverse it. At first trying to reverse everything proved as easy as bringing things from my universe into the real world.
After lowering the area to just around the computer I found it difficult but manageable. I watched as the computer seemingly started to get some color back into it and when I noticed light coming from the screen I stopped. I found that it was open to a page but the page said there was no internet connection.
I grinned and charged it instantly and I tried to type. In my universe, instead of being an avatar and being able to do whatever I wished, I was more of an observer with control.
After around half an hour I noticed Dean come back but I pretended to be asleep, he went to do his own things and left after another half an hour. I went back to my universe and after another hour I was able to easily type on the keyboard in my universe.

I then had an idea, a slightly evil idea, but one that would benefit me. I was no stranger to cheating on tests, in high school, nearly everyone did it once. I was not the exception. I didn't cheat everything but once or twice I did it in dire times.
I sent some paper filled with notes into my universe. One of the limitations was that I could not do both, focus in my universe and focus in reality. Whenever I switched to either side I would feel a drifting in focus and it took a bit of physical contact or loud noises to get my attention once I was in my universe.
Normally I took all my notes on a file on my laptop, I decided to print them out under the disguise of keeping a physical backup. After I went back to my dorm, Dean was still out as he usually was. He was quite the opposite of me, he was much more active and often went out to parties and came back late.
I sent the paper with my notes into my universe and kept them in a very safe place. I went to class where I had my test and when I saw it I realized that since I took notes of nearly everything I could easily ace it with the notes I had stored in my universe.
I was slightly nervous but I knew that no one else really believed that I had a universe in my mind in the first place, most thought I was just trying to get attention, now I realized I had to keep it rather low profile since if I exposed the fact I could make things from reality disappear and go into the universe in my head, who knows what would happen to me.
Eventually I decided to steel myself and looked at the notes. To other I simply zoned out while I was looking and reading the printed notes in my universe. I decided to only partially cheat since while I was a decent student, typically mid to high B's, if I suddenly started to ace everything I took it would be extremely suspicious.
After turning in the test no one thought anything of it since on the outside I was just zoning out quite a bit during the test. When the professor stopped me and let everyone else go I was a bit worried he noticed.
"Jason, is everything alright? You were zoning out quite a bit and then quickly writing on the test before going back to that dazed look, anything you want to talk about?" Asked the professor as the last person left.
"Oh, sorry, I just didn't get much sleep last night, I am a bit tired so I was slightly exhausted today, I will make sure I am good for tomorrow" I said with an internal sigh of relief.
After a few pleasantries I left the classroom and I went back to my dorm. Except before I went to my dorm, I went to a shop and bought something I was very excited to test. As I entered my dorm, I saw Dean sitting around and as he saw what I was holding he asked a rather normal question.
"Why did you bring a plant back to the dorm?"

Memories of the Fall
This is a story about two sisters, Jun Arai and Jun Sana, and their friends, Juni, Ling and Shu who make their living as members of the Hunter Bureau, an organisation dedicated to dealing with the terrifying flora and fauna endemic to their home Great World. When they get dragged into a grand scheme to unpick the ancient secrets entombed within one its foremost forbidden zones in their world, the Yin Eclipse Mountains, they must all try to survive the dark machinations, eldritch undercurrents and the echoes of a terrible conflict trying to re-emerge into an unsuspecting cosmos that had rather hoped it was done with that kind of thing a few eras hence. So please come join Arai, Sana, Juni, Ling, Shu and the rest of my cast as they journey through strange lands, meet all kinds of unusual beings and unravel some of the power and glory of a land time tried very hard to forget. I promise terrifying mushrooms, angry snakes, confused gods, even more confused cultivators and much, much more! Update schedule: (02/6/2022) As chapters are done, sorry. Progress: Currently up to old chapter 13-15. Chapter 24(or 25)/13, Parts 1 & 2 will be the end of the rework. Part 2 has been temporarily delayed due to me getting a frozen shoulder in the middle of June, which has been very slow to properly clear up. It is getting better, though, but Shoulder/neck is the worst set of muscles to have issues with ;( You can currently pick up most story threads after the rewritten chapters, starting from chapter 13-14 (old) Genre-wise, this is a bit hard to pin down. It's technically a Xianxia (because cultivators!), but it also veers towards Xuanhuan and has more traditional High Fantasy elements and a bit of Gods and Monsters and All Myths Are (on some levels) Valid. It also has a fairly large, ensemble cast, so if multiple point's of view are not your thing I am sorry. It won't ever really be considered 'grimdark' by any real measure of that definition but it does go to some complicated and fairly places dark occasionally, which I will note in author pre-chapter notes when expedient!. About the Author I mainly write fiction for my own hobby, it makes a nice change from academic scribbling! I started writing this quite a number of years ago. It has grown somewhat organically out of a bunch of different interests in all kinds of Mythology, World Building, Drawing Maps, Archaeology, Anthropology, History and Epic Fantasy fiction into what it is today. So I hope you enjoy the story and thanks for reading! Other stuff The cover is made by the author, using photos taken by the author. There is a Discord Server- Please come and chat, but beware of spoilers.
