Okay, so you know that part in every fanfiction novel where the protagonist gets the powers that are world ending and somehow way stronger than they should be?
Yet somehow they are miraculously able to master them easily or instant, despite only having the powers for a brief period of time?
That! That right there! That fanfic you just subconsciously thought of in your head!
There's only two ways to portray what I call 'The adjustment period'. It's that period where the MC gains powers, a bloodline, race... whatever it may be.
The first way, is that the author grants the protagonist the totally unrealistic boon of instant mastery, usually in their attempt to speed up the story and not waste what they consider 'precious' time writing chapters to explain the process involved in them.
Additionally, they might grant that boon as way of diverting ot downplaying attention on their lack of writing prowess and ability to properly convey their thoughts into words.
Most likely though, it's to cover up their lack of knowledge on the subject because they know broad terms without the nuances and subtle details that add up to become the broader topics they think that they know.
It kills the story, seems utterly insane to people who understand that every phenomena has a basis if you understand the science that can apply to it.
Author's are like, "Oh yeah, how do you explain the multiverse then, huh wiseguy?"
And then I lay out the facts online, looking like a monkey on a type writer trolling superman.
(Hood Babii: IYKYK)
There are in actuality multiple theories on the multiverse in theoretical science.
But the one I personally am convinced of is the MWI theory first proposed by Hugh Everett III in the mid 20th century suggesting that every quantum possibility splits reality into separate, parallel universes.
I, however, take my beliefs a bit further, leaning towards the idea that Quantum Entanglement is the most likely theory.
I believe, that because that because energy can be neither created nor destroyed, it only makes sense for it to go somewhere, making the multiverse the natural deduction.
And because the universe is expanding constantly at a rate faster than the speed of light, time stretches infinitely. Most people don't fully understand the magnitude of Infinity.
But in the context of the multiverse, Infinity is simple of you try to understand it. Infinity simply means that any probability within it becomes 100%.
If you take 0.00000000000000000099%, within Infinity it's probability becomes 100.00%.
That's because with infinite time, the probability of said thing occurring has to happen eventually because it has infinite time to do so. That means that ther are realities where you are actually smart.
At that point, the author's jaw drops and he usually finds a lame ass excuse while those universally hated readers who kiss the author's hairy ass reply to message with the usual: I just looked it up! That's not correct blah blah blah!
Or the: Dude, why are trying so hard to reply to a comment on WebNovel?
I usually translate that as: I'm trying to act like it doesn't matter so nobody realizes I don't get it even though I just googled it...
Those posts usually get the most likes. Because birds of the feather always flock together.
(Hood Babii: This is me venting if you hadn't noticed. 👍🏿)
And I always reply: That's why it's theoretical asswipe. Don't use ChatGPT and do some goddamn research.
Moving along, the second way is that the author does a time skip, eliminating the need for a description of the process entirely, and forcing the story's natural rhythm to change. They think: It doesn't matter at all, he's OP, that's what matters!
Wrong.
I couldn't suddenly gain the powers of a Viltrumite and instantly have mastery over them. It's literally impossible.
There are so many psychological factors of the human psyche that are active to keep us safe on a basic level.
Like fear of pain, death, major heights, fear itself, even crying and anger are necessary. The only person who could logically gain superhuman abilities and be virtually unaffected are sociopaths.
That's because they already lack many of the biological inhibitors put in humans by mother nature over thousands of years of evolution.
And I am not a sociopath, which is I made the mistake of not taking into account the difference between my pre-SSS (Supersoldier Serum) and Post-SSS self. In other words... I'm a dumbass.
A dumbass who just jumped about eight feet into the air letting out a an embarrassing, "Ahhhhheeeeeaaaaahhhhh!"
As heads turn in my direction, I land unceremoniously on the road, the left side of my having an intimate conversation with the pile of horse shit on the side of the road that just so happened to be closest to me when I fell.
Luckily for me, I can transmutate anything, and before my near freak mind shuts down completely, I will the... shit... to turn into water.
Here I am, smallfolk! I grumble inwardly, annoyed at the current situation in general. Your resident GoT Jesus. Jesus turned water into wine? So what? I turn horse shit into water!
Grimacing at that comparison, I think to myself, Damn. I really feel like a sleazy used salesman. Seeing by Trader Joe's Westeros branch! You bring in shit, you leave with water! Only five gold dragons for a lifetime membership!
I almost feel even worse until I realize something.
That... wouldn't be a bad idea.
Instead of the smallfolk burning the trash and other things they don't want, they could sell it for cheap to a warehouse I own! And I can transmutate it, eliminating the need to constantly reapply with dust and other miscellaneous things!
Plus, it'd warm goodwill from the local populace! They'd live me. Getting paid to dump their free trash in a building.
Stowing that thought away into the outer reaches of my mind, I remind myself to stay focused on the task, which is the most daunting thing yet.
Surviving The Adjustment Period.
Duh...Duh... Duuuuuuhhhhh!!!!
