Aster's Guide to the Mutliverse: World 0
First appearance: Chapter 1

This issss... earth. The 'real world'. The world everything else will be compared against. My home. Or maybe there's a purer world out there, one never touched by whatever power threw me into the deep end of the multiverse.

This is labeled as world zero since it's not a place I'm visiting. it's not the first world I traveled to. It's where I've traveled from, and where I hope to get back to, for all the hell it put me through, my loved ones still live there.

I'm making an assumption, dear readers, in that you are from this world, or a world very much like it, so you know its history, its culture, and at least some of the media whose worlds I explore.

There's nothing more to say really, if you want to learn more open a history book or look outside. Don't use Twitter though, you'll learn a negative amount that way.

Strike Out! Chapter 1

Its important to understand that I didn't want to be out in a rainstorm at night, it was just a series of bad fucking decisions.
First was a friend online had tracked a package they were sending me and it had just arrived. I said I would get it tomorrow, but they really wanted to share it with me nowwww. so I reluctantly agreed to walk out to the mailboxes and get it.

Second was seeing the weather outside, hearing the thunder and deciding I had already decided to go out in the dark, might as well just take an umbrella with me and make it quick.

The third, and final mistake, was leaning on the metal mailboxes, inspecting the package with my phone light trying to figure out what the hell it was and why it was so weird shaped.

Each of these on their own aren't that bad, and in the moment I didn't think anything of them. But in hindsight, I was asking to get struck by lightning.

So it was surprising, that after that bright green flash and world of pain, I woke up sprawled at the bottom of the hill alive. I mean I knew people could survive lighting strikes, but it still felt like a miracle.

Getting my bearings, I figured out my phone was fried, and the package was gone. There were some burnt pieces of brown packaging material scattered around, but no object. It was also a sunny morning. Had I been out the entire night?

Bearings haven gotten, I made my way home. The door was locked, which was probably my dad, the car wasn't in the driveway either so he was out. I went for the key hidden in the front porch light but it wasn't there for some reason. Dad must have moved it, or forgot to put it back. I didn't take my keys with me, just the key to the mailbox, so I couldn't get in.

I resigned to wait, sitting on one of the front porch chairs.

He didn't come home.

After a panic attack and a mumbled planning session with myself I decided to walk to the library. Three miles away. Look I haven't had to manually type in anyone's phone number in two decades, I couldn't just ask for the phone at the gas station.
The grueling process of walking there did give me some time to think, though.

What kind of lightning was green? And why weren't any of my clothes singed? And where did my umbrella go? The only thing that seemed to be burnt at all was what remained of the mysterious package, and some grass near where I had fallen. If this was a story, I'd expect the package to have some mcguffin that caused this. But this was real life. And I had just suffered an accident. Right?

Navigating library bureaucracy to get some computer time was difficult, especially with exhaustion buzzing in the back of my head. They didn't seem to have my phone number on file and I didn't have any other proof of identity, so they couldn't issue me a new card. But they did give me a code slip I could use for thirty minutes of computer time. So mission accomplished.

My plan was simple: Make a new discord account, join a public server I knew I had some friends in, and get a message passed to one of my sisters. why did I need a new discord account? my phone was fried and that had my password manager on it, shut up.
The plan went smoothly enough and I logged on to Luxury Gay Furry Communism as ThunderFlower. Look you try being creative on a burner account after being struck by fucking lightning.

→ Welcome, ThunderFlower. We hope you brought pizza.
BagelEnthusieSusie: Hello @ThunderFlower, please read the rules and make a post in the introductions channel.
ThunderFlower: Susie Its me aster, Corpse_Aster. I got locked out and my phone broke so I'm at the library with a fresh discord account.
Clambert: days wizhout server drama: 0
BagelEnthusieSusie: ...aster, you realize how Phishy that sounds, right?
ThunderFlower: shit yeah, you're right. You don't have an opinion on pinaple pizza, Your favorite kingdom hearts game is the original GBA version of chain of memories, when you were four you broke your arm falling off the roof of your grandma's condo in florida.
ThunderFlower: that enough to prove I'm me?
BagelEnthusieSusie: good enough that I'm not immediately blocking your ass. what do you need?
ThunderFlower: I just need you to send a message to one of my sisters so they can get in contact with my dad.
BagelEnthusieSusie: Why not your boyfriend? if you're locked out. last time I checked you still live with him.
ThunderFlower: my what.

My WHAT?!?!

Corpse_Aster: My Boyfriend. Susie send this asshole to the shadow realm
Clambert: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

And then the screen went back to the default 'you've got no friends or servers' page discord has. Did I just get banned by myself? Wait no, that's stupid someone has hijacked my discord account. Fuck.

closing down the computer I walked out to the garden for some fresh air. I sat down on a bench and did some breathing, massaging my temples as that stupid exhaustive buzzing in my head wouldn't go away.

Felt like the entire library was filled with electricity. as if I could just snap my fingers and-

*BOOM*

In a flash of green I'm plucked out of the garden, dissolving into electricity as I careen for the heavens, only to just as quickly fall back to the ground with another explosive bolt of lightning.

"JESUS FUCK!!!" I yelled, grasping my heart.

What the hell. What the goddamn hell?!?! I looked around and saw myself on a fogy road through the woods. did I fucking teleport? Was I going insane? I took a breath and looked around. There were some lights up ahead so I walked forward.

It was a sign illuminated by old lights.

'Welcome to Silent Hill'

"Nope nope nope nope." I muttered, turning around and speedwalking away.

I didn't know much about silent hill, but I know that the town was sort of alive, and it'd reflect your inner demons as actual demons. Was it even possible to run away? Assuming this was real and not a coma dream I'm in after getting struck by fucking lightning.

I stopped and took a breath. at this point it was obvious, if totally batshit insane, what the weird green lightning was. I was planeswalking, or dimension hopping, or universe jumping. Whatever you'd like to call it I had gained some kind of power to go to other worlds.

I would unpack that later, I had the more pressing concern of getting the hell out of there.

The buzz in my head that lead up to this lightning strike based universe jump was gone, but there was something else there. Three stars glowing in my head, one was glowing green, and I felt like that indicated this place. connected to it like a constellation was another star, just white. Probably where I came from.

And off on the distance was a third star. Glowing so dimly I nearly missed it. Home. it had to be. I reached out but couldn't grab it. But the weird boyfriend universe was within my reach.
So I grabbed the star and-

*BOOM*

-Re-apeared in the Library garden. Oh thank god. The Boyfriendverse star was now glowing green, so that must be some kind of 'you are here' marker.

Before I could collect my thoughts A librarian opened the door and looked at me, concerned. "What was that?!"she asked.
"Lightning Strike" I said without thinking.

The librarian looked up at the clear blue sky and back down at me.

"...Two of them?"

Shit I forgot That The lightning struck as I left too. I just nodded. The librarian sighed.

"Fine, You look rattled enough, and I'm no cop. Just don't make any trouble, please?" She asked, before ducking back inside.

I collapsed into a bench in a heap. That was. A lot.

I didn't think I was built to deal with mortal terror, and my head was swirling from all the implications of what I just learned. I needed to figure out how to find more stars. If I could go anywhere... well that was one hell of a power fantasy... And maybe the path home.

Why was my home so dim and far? Could I build a path of stars home? What does it mean that fictional places are Real?
Feeling lightheaded, I realized my breathing was heavy and I was having a panic attack again. There was no use worrying, I could think about it later. I just needed to calm down and figure out immediate survival needs. Food, Water, Shelter.
 


"Here's the list of homeless shelters in the area" The librarian said, giving me a printout.

My eyebrows raised. There were a lot of different options "Do any of these need ID? I lost my wallet."

"I'm not an expert, but some will ask for some kind of proof, others take in any they can, and there will be waiting lists. Government funded ones will probably be the ones that require identification."

That made sense, a lot of these were Catholic, while also being separated into temporary and long term stay. There were some listed requirements, like trying to find a job, not drinking or doing drugs, being a victim of sex trafficking... Holy Shit this painted a bleak picture.

I mean I knew it was bad out there, but Its one thing to hear about it and another to suddenly be living it. Hopefully I can find the gold dimension and get some cash because If I was forced to find a job I was cooked. I... don't fit the mold the job market puts people in.

The librarians let me use a phone in the back offices and I started making calls, prioritizing places close, Since I'd have to walk... maybe I'd be able to beg some money for the bus. Though there weren't many routes outside the city center, so... still a lot of walking.

Soon enough I was riding downtown in the bus. Then I noticed the Buzz in the back of my head. I sat up straight. It wasn't strong enough to pull on, but it was getting stronger, and stronger, and I watched as we drove passed the Museum Center, sorry, The Cincinnati Union Terminal. It served in a reduced capacity as a train station these days, with it holding science and history museums within its grand halls. Nostalgic place for me.

And then the buzz got fainter. and I Realized I found my next world. I got an inkling for what governs their placement, but two points of data was not a pattern, so I pushed aside those thoughts.

Besides, I was tired. I'd wait until tomorrow to see what my next world would end up being.
