The sound of the clock in the classroom continues to click back and forth as Ms. Cabral continues her lecture, but despite this, I had neither the interest nor the desire to listen as I know everything if not the majority.
Time for me is nothing but a number I can reach, or I have yet to reach, as I deem it unnecessary to reach as yet, but it doesn't guarantee that number is always right.
All that there is to know, I already know, but despite that, there is something that always plagued my being despite the immense knowledge, and new knowledge I always get or will get.
And that is my childhood friend, Vergil Ligrev, you see my real name is Pandora, but it's also my hero name as well, many believe I took inspiration from the legend of Pandora Box, the curious woman who released the evils Of the world upon opening the box forbidden by the Gods, in which leak out the concept of the abnormal and the evils with it, which in turn made humanity evolve.
But what they don't know, or what they don't realize, is the fact that I am that very same Pandora who gifted the world the ability of superpowers, a mere accident that was caused by my stupid curiosity and the fear of death, but these things we called gifts are nothing but a cursed a disease that plagued the world more than we help it.
But the legends and different story that was formed around the very concept of it, were all either false or not completely true because the box I open was not even a box but instead a doorway to a higher dimension, a doorway that released abnormalities to this world in the first place.
You see this universe as we know it, is just a board game for higher existence, many people would call these existence Gods, but they are much more than that, God is just a word we humans created to give meaning to something that could not be explained, and if you think about it, God is just Dog spell backward, an irony indeed something almighty can be nothing but a trivial dog when compared to something that may be even higher than that's which is even higher than us.
When I open that door, I could describe what I did in the simplest of terms, I would say that I open a door to the fourth dimension, which made the third dimension crack and become a part of the fourth dimension, and the second dimension ascended to the third, and the first ascended to the second, while the zeroth dimensions continue balance within the Infinitum and created and destroy new dimensions.
In a sense, we the current human who are fourth-dimensional beings are blessed with gifts, that could be normal in nature, and explainable in nature as well, which would be incomprehensible to a third-dimensional being.
On that day three thousand, four hundred seventeen years ago, the day when I first thought would have been my end, was only my beginning, and also the day that I was rebirthed a new, as the first human to transcend.... no! to be a part and flow with time itself, the name of my gift is called, the incantation of the 4th.
I could say I exit, in the past, the present, and the future, but even so, I could only observe the past since it already happens, manipulate the present since that is the now, and glimpse into the possible future since it is ahead of me.
In simple terms, I perceived the fourth dimension as observable time, controllable time, and approaching time, and to simplify what the future is, then you could say I am always one step ahead most of the time, but not all the time, as the future is always changeable, a perfect example to describe what the future is to me will be a tree with many branches, and the result of what I see are leaves, and where the leaves drop can be anything, accurate yet inaccurate, but in the end still true.
From a third-dimensional perspective, many would say the future can not be changed, and the future they do change is not their reality much less, instead, it is an already existing neighboring or twin reality from the many branches of possibilities that exist that are the branches.
But for me, a third-dimensional point of view is more than just a joke, what third-dimensional beings lack is the coordination and calculation, and that is something I have and can understand, but for them, that is inconceivable so much so, that they can only theorize what it is, and hope that out of the 1/1,000,000,000,000,000,000 chances that it's is right.
But even so, there are things even I don't know, their things even I can't comprehend, for example, where or why that door came from and why it came before me, an answer even I don't know despite being the greatest time manipulator within the fourth dimension.
The proof that it exists, is evidence that a higher being is at play, and a higher being can only be at a higher dimension, my theory to that is at least 75% accurate, while the remaining 25% are the possible factors that deny my almost accurate 75% analysis that has hardcore evidence that higher dimensions than the 4th exist.
Although my greatest evidence that supports the existence of higher beings is the very person that believes that he has grown up with me, Vergil, in this world or the 20% of people without a superpower are referred to as normies, people who are not compatible with a Gifts aka superpowers, but despite that normie, or people who are normal in this plane of existence, are still beyond a third-dimensional human.
Before this universe became a part of the fourth dimension, we were the previous owner of the third dimension and as such, we had to abide by the rules that exist within that lesser dimension, for example, a third-dimensional human can live up to 80-100 year's as that is a third-dimensional human life span.
But we fourth-dimensional humans, can easily live up to 500 years, as our natural life span is around 750-800 years, normies are naturally stronger than third-dimensional humans as well, for example, humans of today could dent the weakest alloy there is which is steel as they exist new and practically nigh-indestructible alloys, the same could be said for intelligence, speed, senses, and durability.
You might think this is a superpower but this is just normal as it gets for us fourth-dimensional super homo-sapiens, the only difference between a normal and a gifted is that a gifted has power beyond what a normal human is capable of, a perfect example is me who rule over time.
But even so, there are things I cannot comprehend no matter how hard I try, no matter how hard I look into it and put my fingers around it, such as Vergil as he is my headache and the cause of my anxiety, and the boy I took a knights oat to swore to protect at the cost of my infinite lives, Vergil Ligrev, the one incomprehensible person, who is beyond me, who transcendence even the fourth dimension, maybe even the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eight or maybe beyond even dimension that are beyond those.
My job as the number one hero, Pandora the Almighty, is to protect people and the world from supervillains, but that is my side job, as my real job is even more important than being a public hero, a job that I must do to protect not only the world but the entire universe and potentially even the omniverse.
Pandora said as she gaze at the innocent teenage boy who was typing away on his laptop, paying keen attention to Ms. Cabral's teaching, completely unaware of how special he is, and at the same time how much of a threat he is to the entire universe.
Vergil Ligrev, Code name: Normal, Aka the false God, a human clinically, a God supernaturally, Vergil was born with the power to rule over normalcy, he so dangerous not even the rank two Supervillain Paradox would pose no threat to him.
You see the Paradox is a God-rank awakened one who can manipulate Paradoxes, the impossible becomes possible, and the quickest way to describe how dangerous he is would be this.
For example, he can make a simple glass of milk into a nuke if he drops it, the only way to contain him was with Rank tree hero Plot-armor, logic defiance superpower, and my time looping abilities by trapping him in an eternal time loop that defies even the logic of, the logic of, the logic of, the logic of, the logic of time and logic itself at an infinite interval as we make his perspective of the impossible and possibly incomprehensible on both ends.
What is normal, well it is defined as conforming to a type, standard, or regular pattern: characterized by that which is considered usual, and typical, in Vergil case that rules still apply the only difference, is what he considered to be normal as normal, or typical as typical, in laymen term, Vergil is an omnipotent human-being as he can do anything at an absolute and omnipotent level.
The only reason he isn't aware that he is all-powerful is that we made it our job to make sure that he thinks he is human and only human when in a sense he is a human but with God-like powers.
Such a kind soul, with a normal demeanor, possesses the power to end all things, in sense, his entire life has been a lie we made up, the very existence of an Ω class being is kept so hidden even he is not aware of it, yet he is apart of it, and only a small team consisting of 50 people are aware of his existence.
Ω what is it, well in this world, it was originally a class that exist about 2,800 years ago, when the first God rank awakens one emerged after me, all of them are good but in their own twisted way, it was soon just remade into more accurate and reasonable classes that can determine how strong a person is.
And it goes from the weakest to the strongest class.
Superhuman Rank: People cable of doing superhuman feats such as surpassing the current humanity's normal prowess such as casually floating in the air, or walking up walls, people with this much power can either destroy the surrounding area or defy some form of normal science around their existence, and have multiple weakness.
Behemoth Rank: People capable of moderate destruction, and can do two or more creative things with their power, their range increases as well, a perfect example of this is someone who can destroy an entire school or block or a village with relative ease within a short amount of time.
Dragon Rank: At this level of power one can total an entire city without even doing much, their power could be anything but the range is at an immense value, for example, someone with strong telekinesis power can lift-building or the weight of an entire city while going all out.
Demon Rank: People with this much power can total or destroy multiple mountains within the blink of an eye, you're practically changing the environment at this point.
Demi-God Rank: People with this much power can affect the world in either a positive way or a negative way but their range is at least on a continent, or planetary level, such as shifting titanic plates or creating a special domain where they are gods, at that level, you can practically be considered a literal Demi-God, only metaphorically thought.
God Rank: People at this level of power are normally reality warpers, or have some kind of special power that is nigh undefeatable, or have a limitless source of power, they can destroy the world and maybe even affect the universe in some way, it could be a positive way or a negative way, for example, my power affect the time within the entire fourth dimension.
And finally, there exists a rank that is above even that, and so far only one person occupies the position, and that is the last boss himself, someone who practically destroys the world on multiple occasions without even realizing it, and that person is Vergil himself.
Ω Rank: At this level of power it's more of, I can, so I will.
And when I look at it, I can't even recall how many times I had to rewind time to stop the world from ending, well I can, but you get the drift, just last week the Earth split like an egg, then last month, he spawns a monster that can manipulate boundaries while asleep, the universe collapse just spawning a piece of it here, I had to get the aid of rank five God class hero, the dreamer, to place everyone in the world in a dream, as I wake him up from within which made the universe reset back to its normal state.
Last year as well was probably the weirdest and practically the most vulnerable we felt to his power as he reset all superpowers to their default states of when they first awakened it, making our control over our own power a lot weaker, how did I solve that, luckily with the help of Ω-5 Lust power of reality correction and Ω-2 Wrath, Empowerment of all things we were able to fix reality.
And the cause of this incident was because he was been bullied by awakens, at that moment he thought why do people abuse their power to make others suffer, while in his subconscious he wonders what it would be like to live in a normal world, to his licking, or a world were powers aren't as strong as they originally were, although the definition of that wasn't lamented upon.
And after the incident, I could only imagine what the Ω7 council did to those people that cause Vergil's powers to spiral out of control, but none was as worse as the 2 [V] incident when Vergil wipe out half of humanity by making the sky the ground and the ground the sky, which made over 4 billion died, then there is the [V2] incident were he literally wipe everything else out of existence.
It was because of this that many termination methods were tried but when Vergil is in danger his power has a chaotic way of protecting him, tell me have you ever witnessed the big bang at point-blank, and then the next day everyone wakes up from a dream that they all said they witness the end.
Do you have the slightest idea of how hard it is to cover that up, our only saving hope was an experiment we did on him which is dub as V.R.P which stands for the Vergil Reset Project.
With his abnormal powers, and the belief that he is a normal person, we were able to hypnotize him, by implanting a series Of command codes in his mind, it was a way to control him, and it work, although any attempts to kill him will just make everything worse, the only way we survive was because of the thought we planted in him which was "that it's normal to start your day off with a smile."
The next day everyone woke up with a smile, despite feeling a sudden dread beside them, it is because of this incident I travel with immense anxiety, Vergil, as he gets older, is becoming harder and harder to control.
But as I said this, while looking at Vergil still typing away, a sudden voice began to play in my head.
[This is HQ Nayeli speaking to Pandora, do you copy]
"Yes this Pandora to HQ, how may I be of assistance Nayeli?"
[You have someone on the line that wants to talk to you]
"Sigh who doesn't want to talk to me, tell me who is it this time, Nah I already know, put Hector on the line please?"
[Of course, I expect no less from Pandora and yes it is Dr. Hector, he said he needs to immediately talk to you regarding the false God, Code name: Normal, a situation has come up, that has triggered a potential end-of-the-world scenario]
"Come on this is the second one this week, what did Vergil do this time, without me noticing I'm always beside him, and if I'm not, my clones are always close by."
[Further information will be explained to you when you talk to Dr. Hector, my clearance level is too low, hence fort, I neither know the situation nor do I have the authority to say any more]
"Sigh put him on."
[One moment please, let me switch lines]
With that said, the sound of a man came on the line as he said.
[Pandora can you hear me]
"Loud and clear doctor, so tell me what are the readings?"
[As expected of the all-knowing Pandora, well according to the nano-bots we implanted in his brain, we are picking up high levels of emotional distress, in short Vergil is feeling upset about something, although nothing is happening right now, another end of the world scenario is likely]
"I guess we should make him indirectly see a psychiatrist."
[That is one alternative but Ω7 has a new drug, that they want to test on him, it's called B-lank789]
But as Dr. Hector said this, her attitude went berserk as she curse the idea over the telepathic communicator that is implanted in her brain.
"Fuck I'm tired of them feeding Vergil drugs, or doing horrendous and cruel experiments on him, if anything, that is exactly what makes him spiral out of control, one-day im telling you, he is going to realize his gift, and when he does we can only pray he Is on our side, but if you keep harassing him like this you're going do more harm than good."
[Look im only following orders Ms. Pandora, it's the Ω7 council that gives them, and why do you care he Is just an inconvenience to humanity anyways]
"What did you just say?"
[Look it's nothing personal, but I can't ok, and I apologize if I hurt your feelings, but it's my personal opinion]
"Im aware of that but we can't keep treating him, as if he was some kind of convenient lab rat, because to fuck with him, if he is aware is akin to fucking with the normal flow of existence, agh... you're just pissing me off right now, but I will not allow this to stand."
[I don't know what to say]
"Fuck you, im not getting nowhere with you, ok then put a member of the Ω7 council on the line at this instance, your testing my patients Dr. Hector."
[Sorry I can't do that]
"I wasn't asking, that an order Dr. Hector, or do you want me to erase you from existence by never making your parents meet each other, trust me I can do it In a snap since the task is not hard and it's very straight forward, I will if you don't, so if you want to live be a good doctor, and get the adults on the line because I won't ask again."
[Wait don't do that, you're just going to get yourself in trouble with the Ω7 con...
Snap!
But before Dr. Hector could even finish talking, his voice just faded as if he disappeared from existence, and suddenly the voice of a woman came into play.
[This is Dr. Maria talking Ms. Pandora, I have some orders from the, Ω7 council]
"Aghh.... Maria, you don't have to explain, as you should know I know a lot of things, and im already aware Of the existence of the B-lank789 drugs."
[Sigh I expect no less from the all-knowing Pandora, the word of the drugs hasn't even been revealed to the main Dr. to finalize it yet, so I don't know what to say]
"Hahaha... there is nothing to say, Maria, and to be honest, there is not much to the disgust either, and I know this might be a lot to ask, but can you get one of the Ω7 council members on the line for me, since your family and I are good friends im sure you can do something for me, pretty please."
[That will be hard seeing that all of them are the world's heads, but im sure if I use your name they will answer, just give me five minutes so I can set things out ok]
"Your such a deary Maria, your way more reasonable than that asshole Dr. Hector."
[Egh... who is Dr. Hector, never heard of him]
"Agh don't worry about it, he's just a nobody."
[I see, well then just give me five minutes]
"Sure no problem, take your time, although the sooner the better."
And just like that about four minutes later, the voice of Maria could be heard once more, but this time it was a secrete language, that sounded like gibberish, it was Vergilian, a made-up language that was made in a way that only the selective member of the team Vergil and Ω7 council could understand.
It was used whenever an important topic about Vergil was about to start.
[Ms. Pandora I have Ω-7 on the line, he seems a little piss off, just a little heads up]
"No problem put him on the line."
[Right away]
And like that, the voice of a young boy could be heard, as he said in an angry tone.
[Words cannot describe how pissed off me and the other Ω7 council members are at you Pandora, was that necessary, Dr. Hector was one of the leading Dr. why did you erase him, by doing that you change history that we have to correct, that's not a hero like a deed Pandora]
"Was that supposed to intimidate me Gluttony, your so-called collective consciousness of humanity is so displeased because I delete one of your power sources well guess what, I don't give a fuck, you think because your one of the world heads I should care, please boy I was born before all of you?"
[That might be true, but even you alone cannot beat all of us at once, and that's not even the reason I am mad, what im piss about is you deleting a man's existence because he annoys you, we at the Ω7 council have things set in place, to protect the world at all times, and by you changing history tampers our progress]
"Look im tired of saying this, I don't give a fuck, as much as you don't give a fuck about what im saying, all I want you to know is that giving Vergil drugs will tamper him, and one day he is going to find out, and what then?"
[Your defiance will spell the doom of all existence if you don't follow orders, currently Normal has been showing some emotional frequency that doesn't sit well with us, the drugs B-lank789 won't harm him it will just make him better]
"Better, and what do you call better Gluttony?"
[Well it will shut down his emotions, he will feel nothing, no urge to do anything, just what is necessary for survival]
But at those words, Pandora rise as she shout at the top of her lungs which caught the attention of Gluttony, Vergil, and the rest of the class.
"WHHHHHHHAT!?"
