It had been a day since I emerged from the Jumanji world, and at last, my own pocket dimension had formed perfectly.
With a mere thought, I transported myself inside. I arrived in a realm where lush forests stretched endlessly, crowned by towering trees whose leaves shimmered in shades of jade and gold.
Rivers of crystal-clear water cut through valleys overflowing with wildflowers, their fragrance thick and sweet. The air itself felt pure—almost intoxicating.
I spread my wings and took flight, soaring across my new domain. Jungles gave way to deserts, where colossal dunes sang under the wind. Deserts yielded to wetlands alive with birds that glimmered like fragments of starlight.
In the far distance, snow-clad mountains pierced the skies, their roots feeding into fertile plains where herds of strange, luminous beasts roamed. Beyond them lay an ocean—vast and sapphire blue, with waves that glowed faintly under the twin suns burning high above.
This was no mere jungle. Though called a pocket dimension, its interior defied conventional scale. It was a complete biome mosaic—forests, deserts, tundra, oceans, even floating isles drifting lazily in the upper atmosphere.
Just then, Athena notified me:
> "All traces of the original world, except for some beneficial traits, have been purged. No foreign control systems remain. This dimension is self-sustaining, linked directly to your essence. It will evolve as you evolve."
Infinite potential. A world that would grow alongside me. Perfect.
This realm amplifies my abilities and grows with me. Here, I am the Game Master. I can control the weather, the biomes, the creatures, the plants—everything within it. I can even create avatars of myself, linked in a hive mind. One mind, many bodies.
With a flick of my wrist, the sky shifted. The twin suns dimmed, replaced by a vast twilight canopy. Stars burst forth, scattering their light like diamonds across velvet.
A moon rose—silver and gentle, its surface etched with glowing runes I had unconsciously willed into being.
"Magnificent," I thought.
Next, I focused on the land. A barren stretch of rocky plain below transformed into a sprawling meadow filled with white lilies, their petals unfolding as if they had been waiting for me. The air was perfumed anew, softer this time, calming.
I clenched my fist, and from the meadow's edge, colossal stone spires erupted, their jagged surfaces dripping with molten gold. They solidified instantly into a crystalline cityscape—empty but filled with modern convenience, ready to be occupied when the time came.
Next, I tested avatar creation. Instantly, a body materialized a few meters away. It looked identical to me, down to the last detail. Our eyes met—and I felt no separation. Our thoughts flowed seamlessly, memories exchanged in an instant. I wasn't controlling a puppet. I was both of us at once.
The second me smiled.
"We're impressive."
I laughed. Hearing my own voice spoken back with shared amusement was surreal, yet exhilarating. The clone dissolved back into mist at my command, rejoining me without resistance.

I wandered further, exploring the ocean shore. The water lapped against the sand, glowing faintly like liquid sapphire. Curious, I dipped my hand into it.
The sea responded—not just rippling, but bending toward me as though alive. With effort, I lifted a mass of water into the air, shaping it into a sphere. Fish swam within, glowing like fireflies, yet showed no distress.
I released it, and the sphere splashed back, harmless.
---
Night had fully settled by now, stars blazing overhead in constellations I had never seen before. Some resembled beasts—dragons, wolves, serpents—while others formed intricate patterns like runic circles.
I realized then that my subconscious was influencing the skies themselves.
To test the limits of the world, I decided to reach its end. So I shifted into my data form, streams of luminous code wrapping my limbs until I looked like a humanoid constellation.
I extended my wings again—except this time, they weren't bat-like wings. They were entire spreads of energy, woven from lines of code and magicules from the omniarch core—the heart of my power.
This time, I didn't stop at the clouds. With a single beat, the world below blurred. Wind screamed past me as I broke through the upper atmosphere, and the twin suns shrank behind a curtain of starlight.
Higher and higher I climbed, until the world beneath me was no longer a landscape but a tapestry—my tapestry.
I hovered in the silence of space, no longer bound by gravity. The view stole even my breathless composure.
Below wasn't a planet.
It was a leviathan of a landmass—an endless floating continent adrift in the cosmic sea.
Its sheer size staggered me—this wasn't some tiny pocket of reality. This was a world, a kingdom of its own, a sovereign realm spanning 16.8 million square kilometers.
It didn't spin like a planet; instead, it glided serenely through the void, an island in an ocean of stars.
Great waterfalls cascaded off its edges into nothingness, yet never diminished the seas above. Beyond its borders, streams of energy—auroras of violet, silver, and blue—trailed behind it like a comet's tail.
The 30,000 U.P.F. was definitely worth it.
