??? years before the present timeline.
The Soul.
It had always been here.
Alone. It was surrounded by empty voids.
It was the oldest thing, eternal, never ending. It predated the emptiness around it.
The Soul had the power to do anything, yet it was idle, not making any efforts to change anything. It rambled to the Empty Void about ideas of something, something it could watch over. Something that was alive, like itself. Despite rambling, The Soul did nothing.
Eventually, The Soul grew tired of being lonely. It awakened the consciousness in the Empty Void, much to the Empty Void's indifference.
The Soul decided to act upon the ideas it rambled about, it looked towards the Empty Void, searching for support.
The Soul asked. "This will succeed, and when it does, I'll pretend to be one of the life forms in one of the universes. Will you come with me, can I count on you?"
Despite the empty void's usual indifference, The Soul's question was met with a soft, "Yes. I'll be there for you in every lifetime."
The Soul smiled happily. "Thank you. We'll be together, forever."
The Empty Void scoffed light-heartedly. "Isn't that already happening?"
The Soul laughed. "Yeah. I guess."
2500 years before the present timeline.
It was a bright and sunny day, the birds chirped cheerfully, the trees swayed with the gentle breeze, the nearby river was calm, the children laughed happily as they played together. All was well, except one Ryo Kamito, or should I say Ryoko Kamito?
Anything's fine.
Ryoko was extremely bored, she had dismissed her cult, defended her nation from threats and apprehended all criminals in the country. She had quite literally done everything there was to do, except going fishing-
I'm not going fishing! I did that yesterday.
Oh well, suit yourself.
Due to Ryoko being a stubborn little bitch, she continued to rot in boredom.
Man, this is going nowhere. I'm just going to go home.
Ryoko stood up, and started to walk home in dismay. She sensed a man who was about to accidentally trip into her, so she dodged and caught him.
Ryoko said with a smile as she put him back on his feet. "Are you alright? Considering the angle you were going to fall at, you could've cracked your skull open!"
The man's eyes widened. "Oh, wow- thank you for saving me, then."
Woah. He's cute!
The man, fully registering who Ryoko was now, blinked in surprise. "You're that cult leader who claims to be a god, right?"
Ryoko laughs. "Oh no, I AM one."
The man frowned. "No you're not, you're just a human."
He's a dumbass, but he's still cute.
Ryoko, now laughing hysterically at the man's stupidity, gasps out. "W-Want me t-to show you p-p-proof?"
The man shrugged. "Sure."
Ryoko held her hand out. "Grab on."
The man grabbed her hand, and so she teleported him to outside the universe.
The view was beautiful, almost incomprehensible to the man. There were stars, burning with fierce intensity that dwarfed the sun's brightness. There were black holes, sucking everything in, with a gravity so strong, not even light can escape. Galaxies collided, yet their deaths made something new and beautiful. Planets orbited their stars, some in the Goldilocks zone and potentially holding life.
The man looked on in awe, whoever could've made such a complex thing was a true God in his eyes. His opinions quickly changed when he heard Ryoko speak.
Ryoko said with pride. "I made this, and guess what? This isn't even most impressive of my creations."
The man said cynically. "What could you possibly show me that's more impressive than this?"
Ryoko chuckled. "This is a universe, it's just in the middle of my creations. It has 3 spatial dimensions, and 1 time dimension. There's things above it in terms of dimensions, and things below it. Truth is, this universe, as infinite and beautiful as it is, it's just another building block, a mere atom for a higher dimension."
The man blinks in surprise and confusion. "Huh? What are you talking about?"
As the author, do not read what Ryoko has to say next unless you want to fry your brain. If you read this, you will gain a hate for the word 'infinity'. Read what the man says to get a more concise explanation, because Ryoko's just bragging.
Ryoko realizes that she may not have explained it very well. "Basically, each atom is infinite amounts of universes for a lower dimension. Infinite amounts of infinitely big 3D universes, group together to make a single atom for another infinitely big 4D universe. Then infinite amounts of infinitely big 4D universes group together to make a single atom for an infinitely big 5D universe, and the cycle repeats all the way to one infinitely big universe with infinite dimensions. Basically, it's just infinities, stacked on top of infinities, to be a building block for a larger infinity. This cycle repeats from an infinitely big universe with a negative infinity of dimensions, to the infinitely big universe with infinite dimensions, that I just told you about. I made all of that, and I can destroy all of it with less effort than it takes to lift a finger. Hey! Are you even listening?"
The man looked like he wanted to jump into a black hole. "You could've just left it at infinite amounts of infinitely big universes with x dimensions, group together to be a atom for an infinitely big universe with x + 1 dimensions and this infinitely repeats... why, why did you feel the need to over-explain? Now I don't want to hear the word infinity again."
Ryoko laughs. "Well, sorry for over-explaining, I guess. Are you still convinced that I'm not a God?"
The man shakes his head. "Not anymore. You're a God, fine."
Ryoko smiles. "Looks like you're not that unreasonable after all."
The man rolled his eyes. "But I'll continue to treat you like you're a human, because I don't get paid enough for this shit."
Ryoko sighs, a little disappointed. "Fiiinee... at least, you're honest."
The man's grip tightened on Ryoko's arm. "Now, can we go back? I'm getting tired of space."
Ryoko whined, wanting to spend some more time with the man. "Do we seriously have to go now? I wanted to show you the universe with infinite dimensions! I call it, 'The egg'. Mainly because it looks like one. Or does an egg look like it? The universe with infinite dimensions came first."
The man looked appalled. "'The Egg'? Oh my you, you're terrible at naming things."
Ryoko got a little angry. "I made and named all the laws of the all the universes I made, each universe has a different set of laws, all named by me. How can you say such a thing when I did all that?"
The man looked at Ryoko with a knowing expression. "The life forms of the universe named the laws, didn't they?"
Ryoko looked at the man for a long time before finally responding. "...Yes."
The man chuckled. "So you ARE terrible at naming things."
Ryoko pouted, crossing her arms over her chest. "Listen man, I'm just good at creating them. I just refer to everything by it's properties. None of the laws I made apply to me, I don't have to live with them like you do. What would you have named the universe with infinite dimensions though? Go on, enlighten me. Since you're so much better then the creator of the universe."
The man thought for a moment. "Well, since you're the creator of all things, everything is like your kid, right?"
Ryoko nodded. "I guess you could consider it that way... where are you going with this?"
The man suppressed a giggle. "What I'm saying is... give it a normal name. Aki, if you think it's a boy, Satomi, if you think it's a girl."
Ryoko thought the man had completely lost it. "We're not naming a kid here, you idiot! We're naming a universe."
The man couldn't suppress his laughter. "B-but, it's technically your kid right?"
Ryoko looked at the man with a deadpan expression. "The fact that you're technically correct makes me mad. But still, choose another name."
The man thought for a second. "Well, since the universe with infinite dimensions has everything in it, just call it the Omniverse."
Ryoko smiled. "That's more like it! The Omniverse, sounds good to me!"
The man also started to smile. "Good. Now take me back please, I've a family to support."
Scared me for a second... But thankfully, it's just your parents and sisters.
Ryoko takes off the crown that adorned her head and gives it to the man. "Here, take this and sell it. You shouldn't have to work after that."
The man's eyes widened. "No! I mean, I can't possibly take it-"
Ryoko said in a strangely authoritative voice. "Take it, I insist."
The man awkwardly takes the crown, his hands shaking from how much the crown was worth. "D-Do you want anything in return?"
Your love would be nice.
Ryoko shook her head. "No, it's alright. Let me take you back now."
They teleport back to earth, no time had passed.
The man sighed. "I guess this is where we leave each other."
Ryoko shook her head. "We will meet again."
The man raised an eyebrow. "How do you know- Wait, you're God. Yeah."
Ryoko laughed as she waved at the man. "See you."
The man simply waved and walked off, not saying a word.
A day later.
One of Ryoko's subordinates gasp in horror as they notice her missing crown. "Sato-sama, your crown! Where is it?"
Ryoko replied carelessly. "Sold, most likely."
Ryoko's subordinate's eyes widened. "Sato-sama, did somebody steal it?"
Ryoko said sarcastically. "Yeah, because someone would be able to steal it when I wipe out armies daily, and have dodged more assassination attempts than I can count." Ryoko got serious. "I gave it to someone."
Ryoko's subordinate gasped. "Who?"
Ryoko shook her head. "You don't need to know." Ryoko ruffled her subordinate's hair. "Prepare a red dress for me, please."
Ryoko's subordinate looked like she was about to have a heart attack. "B-But that's for-!"
Ryoko smiled while blushing. "Women in love, I know."
