"The world is full of boring, identical, and mindless people."
— Charels Bukowski
These words express life... boring... dull. Nothing interesting ever happens. No matter if your famous, poor, or everything in between. There's nothing truly interesting about the real world. If reality was a movie, each episode would put you to sleep.
That is, at least, how I see the world. Full of grey—the feeling of ennui plaguing it is so much and so strongly you can even smell it, and it is no where near pleasant. The people are even worse. They follow trends, not having their own dreams that are unique. Society; "The aggregate of people living together in a more or less ordered community." That's the definition, right there off of Google. Do you see the problem? "An ordered community", of course. People must have structure and act in a certain, boring way. They can never be interesting or they will be downplayed as weird. "Cringe", "Neurodivergent", "SPED"! All words people say when they see someone who has interests and expresses them. You see a Furry online and society sees them as a "weirdo". It's getting better now adays where people are getting into things that were seen as weird. But that also makes it boring. Now everyone has watched Naruto, everyone has cosplayed, everyone plays videogames. The world changed and it's still dull.
I want to live in a different world. Like, in a Mecha anime fighting off an evil organization in a cyberpunk city. A crime show where I have to solve the mystery of a string of murders. An Isekai where I'm an OP main character with a harem! JUST SOMETHING OTHER THAN THIS BORING LIFE! I WAKE UP, EAT BREAKFEST, TAKE A SHOWER BRUSH MY TEETH, GET READY FOR SCHOOL, GO TO SCHOOL, GO HOME, SLEEP, AND REPEAT! I'M SICK OF IT! JUST THINKING ABOUT IT MAKES ME WANT TO SLEEP AT HOW BORING IT IS! PEOPLE WONDER WHY I HAVE NO FRIENDS OR SHOW ANY EMOTION AND THAT IS BECAUSE WHAT IS THE POINT, IT'S NOT LIKE THEY'RE ALL GONNA MATTER WHEN I'M DEAD! SOMETIMES I EVEN-
no, let me calm myself... breathe...
That was my life. But then one day, that all changed...
I woke up and did my morning routine, it was a normal and boring day like usual. Walking along and seeing, not colorful houses, but dull colors like grey black white and beige... Oh I hate that color, mostly because it's everywhere! But, let me not get off topic. I went through a normal day, until I was walking out of school to walk home, like I usually do. I walk across the street, and then I hear a horn, I look to my right and two bright lights blind me, before I could even react, I felt my bones crush, my body contort. as I flew into the air, people looked shocked, I could even see a mother and her daughter as I was flying through the air just faintly, until... I crashed on to the ground and fell unconscious, my body was bloody, so was the road I was on. I had just been hit by truck, and killed.
Until I woke up, I couldn't feel my body. I couldn't move anything, I couldn't see, smell, taste, feel, hear, nothing. All I had was consciousness. I was confused, frantically trying to find an answer to what is going on. Until, I suddenly knew, somehow. In fact, I knew everything, there was nothing I had no knowledge of which confused me. I felt my beings stretch throughout multiple different places. I had become... as cosmic force... My being erased from creation entirely. Every timeline, there was no version of me- wait, timeline. There are different timelines, alternate realities with their own cosmic structure. The amount of these timelines were beyond anything countable. No numbers, infinities, and cardinals could even begin to describe the amount of them. I was shocked at first but then a wave of excitement washes over me. I had indulged in a lot of fiction in my lifetime, to try and distract me from my boring world. Through fiction I learned a lot. And I thought to myself, "If I'm a cosmic force, could I be omnipotent?!" I, already knew. I have omnipotence, omniscience, and omnipresence. So I want to perceive one of these timelines. I use my omnipotent powers to see into one of them. My being appearing as a metaphysical and cosmic eye in outer space. And what I saw, it was exhilarating! I saw a group of people in suits fighting some other people in fantasy looking clothing, it was cool, oh so very cool! I knew what I would do. I turned the clock back 15 years before, and I decided to rewrite the timeline entirely! Integrating myself into it like the main character of a story. I used my omnipotence to give myself a tragic backstory of my parents dying from some unknown force so I had to live with my grandparents for the rest of my life! And I then transferred my consciousness into that being from the day of it's birth. I opened my eyes for the first time to see a bright light then a doctor looking at me, holding me, in a hospital room. It was quite cold in there, that was the first thing I had noticed. There were two nurses and three doctors.
"Please welcome your new son." The doctor said as he handed me to a beautiful woman with orange hair and gorgeous red eyes. She held me in her arms and cradled me. I didn't want to mention this until now, but there was another person in the room. A handsome man with slicked back white hair, a beard, and silver eyes, he looked smiled at me and so did the woman. So this was my mother and father.
"He's so cute, he even has your eyes." The woman, or should I say my mother, says to the man—her smile warm and gentle along with her tone. And yes, my eyes were silver, just like the man, no, my father.
"But he has your hair." My father says to my mother, he also has a warm smile on his face. And, again, yes, my hair was orange. A strange combination, might I add, but I'm not complaining. I was a healthy, cute little baby boy with orange hair and silver eyes I guess.
"What will you name him?" A nurse questions, as she bends down to look at me over the hospital bed.
My father and mother look at each other, then back at me, "William." My mom says, "That is his name."
One thing I didn't note until now, everyone there was British. I had been born in England and I didn't care. I was to excited, ready to start my new life!
