《Dimensional Rift》 Experiment Success!!! Lord¡¯s Corner ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Welcome to Dimensional Rift! While this book won''t be as ''game-like¡¯, I am sure that some of you will appreciate it. Anyways welcome to my new book, enjoy! Till next time, Lord signing off. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ¡°Susan come on! You know how many years I''ve waited for this moment! We can''t just stop when we''ve gotten this far!¡± I said as we walked back to the lab. ¡°I know that we can''t just stop, but both you and I know that we can''t rush this. We can always leave, and try again in the future.¡± Susan said angrily. ¡°You know that they are coming in a few hours to arrest us, and that we will be black-listed out of the scientific community. They say that our research is too dangerous, or they just laugh at us. We will never get another chance like this. Once the planets align tonight, there won''t be another chance like this. It''s now or never. Either you help me, or you get the hell out of my way.¡± I told Susan just as we arrived at the lab. ¡°James please try to reconsider. You don''t need to die just to prove some stupid theory!¡± Susan screamed at me with tears in her eyes. ¡°If I can not complete my promise, then I don''t deserve to live.¡± I said quietly, as I went inside my lab and locked the door. After a few minutes, Susan stopped screaming and left. Once she was gone, I went to work. I went to my desk, and turned on my computer. After it warmed up I turned on all security measures. I turned on the laser systems, the anti-missile defense systems, and the communication jammers. Now that I was safe, I moved on to more important matters. I activated my recorder, and began to put my thoughts on it. ¡°Hello everyone! In preparation of my historic experiment, I have decided to record my final thoughts. I say final because I may die.For any future historians, I will tell you my situation as of now. It is the year 2137. My name is James Lee Ramons, and I am a scientist. My field of study was originally Genetics until my father disappeared during an accident at the old LHC. For those who don¡¯t know, it was an ¡®Atom Smasher¡¯ built during the early 21st Century. Back then they would literally smash atoms together. Anyways he was a believer in the ¡°Many Worlds¡± Theory. The theory states that for every choice made, a new universe is created for that decision. He believed that the key to accessing these dimensions was to create an artificial singularity using the LHC, and use a Grav-Electric Field Generator on the singularity. He thought that if he could somehow increase the gravity of the singularity to the point that even the singularity would collapse in on itself, that he could force open a path through the dimensional barrier. Sadly there was a horrible accident in which the containment field failed, and caused space/time itself to collapse across the whole of Europe. So because of that, my father was turned into a terrorist by the Media. When this happened, my mother made me promise to make his experiment succeed. So I have done my best to do my father proud. In just under two hours the planets of the solar system will come into alignment, and will distribute the gravity more evenly than when my father attempted it. If this doesn''t work, then I will be either in prison or dead. So wish me luck I guess¡­¡± I said into the mic before turning it off. ¡°I just hope that I am doing the right thing here.¡± I said as I rubbed the bridge of my nose, and yawned. -1 hour later- BEEP, BEEP, BEEP! ¡°Huh! Is my pizza here?¡± I mumble as my alarm wakes me up. ¡°Oh shit I better get ready!¡± I say as I jump up, and turn all the equipment on. OK...Containment Field on...Particle Accelerator powered up...Grav-Electric Field Generator on stand-by...and delicious leftover pizza devoured¡­all that''s left is to put on the old spacesuit that I stole from NASA, and wait. *BAM BAM BAM* ¡°It would seem that time is up, it''s now or never.¡± I said as I finished the last piece of pizza, and got the machines running. I got the singularity in place, and activated the GEFG just as the Army broke through the defences. With that, I knew that I wouldn''t have enough time to do as I had planned. So I shunted all available power into the GEFG. Luckily I''m a genius, and decided to tap directly into the Energy Net beforehand. As soon as I finished that, I booked ass. I ran as fast as I could to the singularity containment room. Good thing I was booking ass, because I was being chased by about 20 guys with guns. I then turned the final corner leading to the singularity, and saw something that stopped me cold in my tracks. The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement. ¡°Hello there Mr. Ramons. I would recommend that you stop this foolish endeavor to kill yourself, and half the country.¡± Said one of the army guys who was holding a hostage at gunpoint. ¡°Please listen to them James. We don''t have to die! Please!¡± Susan begged me. ¡°Well it seems that I have no choice.¡± I said as I reached for my insurance. ¡°Now this good sirs is a dead man¡¯s switch.¡± I said as I pulled it out, and showed it around. ¡°If I take my thumb off of this button, then this entire country will go up in flames. Now you will let her go, and let me go into the singularity. After I go in, you are free to turn it off and destroy all of my equipment. That is the deal, take it or leave it.¡± I said with a shit-eating smile on my face. ¡°... you''re actually serious? Susan is this guy serious?¡± He asked Susan. ¡°After knowing him for 30-something years, I can honestly say that he will do it.¡± Susan said. ¡°Now that you believe that I will do it, let us have Susan tell you what will happen if my plan works.¡± I said as I jestered for Susan to speak. ¡°If it works, he will walk into the singularity and be transported to another parallel dimension. As long as the containment field holds, and he gets his personal shield to the same frequency, it will work or kill him.¡± Susan told the Army guy. ¡°As I understand it, the dead man¡¯s switch will activate once someone takes their finger off the trigger, or once the switch is destroyed. Either way you destroy the country.¡± He said. ¡°Actually sir, the containment field will block the signal. As soon as I enter the containment field, the device will be useless. As soon as I''m in the singularity, you can have your spy turn off the equipment.¡± I said. ¡°I should have known. Well screw it, let''s just get this over with.¡± Susan said as the Army Guy let her go. ¡°Yeah it was simple really. You always being reluctant to help me. You should''ve known how stubborn I am, sis.¡± I said as they made way for me. ¡°I knew that you were stubborn, but not stubborn enough to potentially kill billions of people. Susan said angrily. ¡°Well I am, so deal with it. How is the containment field?¡± I asked her once we reached the singularity. ¡°The field strength is at 93%, and the planets are beginning to align. It''s now or never.¡± Susan said sadly. ¡°Yippy! This outta be interesting!¡± I said as I turned my personal field on. ¡°Sis I''m sorry that it had to be this way.¡± I said as I arrived in front of the singularity''s containment field. ¡°Same here bro.¡± Susan said with tears forming in her eyes. ¡°Oh yeah! Almost forgot. Army dude, you really need to check things more carefully.¡± I said as I dropped the pen I was holding, stuck my tongue out, and walked backwards into the singularity. ------------------------------- ¡°Wake up organism.¡± A mechanical voice said, raising me from my sleep. ¡°Hey where am I? I feel like my body has been put into a blender.¡± I said as I slowly sat up, and looked at my surroundings. I was surrounded by nothingness. It was just a completely white room. ¡°You are in a Pocket Dimension. You have found your way into a place for those that have discovered a way to travel the Multiverse. Your chosen method of travel appears to be jumping into artificial singularity''s. Instead of the usual way of ''going with the flow¡¯, you decided to punch your way through. Rather barbaric, yet it suits your needs.¡± The Voice said. ¡°That''s cool...so may I ask the reason for your visit?¡± I asked the Voice. ¡°Technically you are visiting me. The reason that you are here is that once a being takes the first step of a Dimensional Traveler, I give them the ability to travel the Multiverse. You will be given the ability to travel to a random dimension every 2 days. If you miss this window, then you will have to wait another 2 days. To travel all you have to do is say ''I am ready for transport¡¯ within ten minutes of the window. You also have one emergency transport. You only have the one. You are on your own after that. All I can give you is a word of advice. If there is someone you meet on your journey that wishes to come with you, you should let them join you. You will need all the help you can get. You will be teleported to a random dimension in 7 hours. Rest while you can.¡± The Voice said before shutting up. ¡°Well aren''t you social? Guess I''ll have a nap then.¡± I said to myself as I layed back down. It seems that things are starting to get interesting... Universe One Lord¡¯s Corner --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Forgive me for the long delay, but I''ve been dealing with some issues lately. So updates will be slow, but will eventually get there. Sorry for the inconvenience, and enjoy the new chapter. Till next time, Lord signing off ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Parallel Universe 1: ¡°Hey kid get up! Come-on!¡± A grizzled man''s voice whispered. ¡°Hello! Where am I good sir?¡± I asked as I got up, and rubbed my eyes. ¡°Where are you? Boy you''re right in its nest. We need to get out of here, then we can talk.¡± The man said as he pulled me up, and we started walking out of wherever we were. I wonder if we are in a nest of a being that''s made of metal, because we are completely surrounded by a scrap metal and circuitry nest of sorts. Twisted rebar everywhere, bent siding strutting out every few feet. From what I can see, it looks like a great summer vacation spot. After a few more meters we finally found the exit. I must say, the first universe I landed in was a great one. Sunny beaches as far as the eye can see, beautiful girls with drinks in hand. All in all a wonderful place if you loved the smell of oil, and death. Actually the place was red, and the sun was exceptionally strong. God I hate it when reality buts in, and destroys a wonderful hallucination. To tell the truth the place was a barren wasteland. I''m one lucky bastard aren''t I. After a few more minutes, we reached the old guys automobile. Damn thing looked like it was straight outta m@d m@x. Damn thing looked like it could barely run.Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit. ¡°Come on boy! We ain''t got much time before it wakes up.¡± The Old Coot whispered to me as he got behind the steering wheel. ¡°Ok so what''s this thing you¡¯re saying is going to get us?¡± I asked him. ¡°Boy what rock have you been living under? Have you not seen the Kact¡¯ur? The giant metal spiders?¡± He asked me. ¡°It just had to be spiders. Well this sucks¡­¡± I said sadly as the old man drove us away from the hell-beings den. After a quiet day''s drive, we arrived at a high tech facility in a forested area. Just one look told me that it was meant to be entirely self-sufficient. It also looked super awesome! It had what looked like EMP, and Rail gun turrets. Sadly, it was surrounded by the corpses of destroyed hell beings. I really despise spiders¡­ ¡°So now that we are almost to safety, what can you tell me about your world?¡± I asked the old coot. ¡°My world? Boy what are you talking about? This is your world too.¡± The old man said as we pulled into the dark garage. ¡°Stay right there boy!¡± A girl''s voice called out. Once my eyes got adjusted to the darkness I could see that I was surrounded by people, and had some interesting looking weapons pointed at me. Safe to say, I immediately put my hands up as high as I could. ¡°Well ain''t this a nice welcome. I know that I''m really hot, but to rape me at gun point is just plain wrong.¡± I said jokingly. ¡°Boy are you just plain crazy, or are you an idiot?¡± The girl asked me. ¡°I''m fairly sure that it''s both. My name is James, may I ask for the names of my rapists/kidnappers?¡± I asked calmly as I was pulled from the car (if you can call it that anymore). ¡°Enough with that ''rapist¡¯ thing. My name is Xodius, and you won''t be alive long enough to need anybody else''s name. You''re going to be dissected to find out how you survived in its nest without being killed, and why you''re part machine.¡± The girl said as her goons dragged me away. ¡°Listen fellas I''m not from around here, and so I don''t know the proper etiquette for situations like this. So how about a trade? Knowledge for 2 days of freedom? How does that sound?¡± I asked them calmly. ¡°Shut up, and keep walking.¡± The stupider one said. ¡°No deal? Then I guess I have no choice. Sorry about this guys.¡± I said as I activated ''Joybuzzer¡¯. (For those that don''t know Joybuzzer is a cybernetic modification that utilizes a built-in hand taser that delivers a couple hundred- thousand volts from a built-in battery directly to the hand. Sadly it only has enough battery charge for 5 uses, and needs to be recharged afterwards.) With the henchmen disposed of for the moment, I got to work on finding a plug to recharge the Joybuzzer. After a few minutes I found one. Sadly it was in the room of the girl that sentenced me to dissection. Also on a bad note she was still there, and changing her clothes. In other words I had to make her quiet, so I utilized my trusty Joybuzzer to knock her the hell out, before she could scream. I know it looks bad, but I swear it''s required for me to survive till I leave in about 24 hours. ¡°Boss are you done changing yet?¡± A man''s voice called from the outside of the door. ¡°Sorry but your Boss is indisposed at the moment. Also if you come in here then I''ll have to kill her. So I will need your cooperation if you wish to see her unharmed.¡± I called out as I held her unconscious body in front of me. ¡°You''re dead meat.¡± The guy said as he opened the door anyways. ¡°Well I think that I''ve intruded long enough. Sorry, but I''m out. Activate emergency transport!¡± I screamed as the guy pulled a weapon on me, and then I immediately passed out... ------------------------------------ For the next chapter comment 1, 2, or 3 in comment sectionfor which world James will visit next time. Zambiverse= The Zombie Apocalypse Universe. Lord''s Corner --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I picked #2. Yay. Till next time, Lord signing off! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Universe 2 ¡°God do I have a headache¡± I said as I woke up. As I opened my eyes I noticed something. I had successfully gone somewhere else, but that I had also brought along a companion. I frantically looked around, and found that I was in an abandoned warehouse. Good! At least I wasn''t in public with a half nude teen girl. As I was counting my blessings she woke up, and started hitting me. ¡°Rapist! Kidnapper!! Pervert!!!¡± She said angrily as she escaped my grasp, and started looking for something to smash my brains in. ¡°Listen it''s not like that! You''re in a different dimension. I''m a traveler of worlds, and just used my only emergency transport. We''re stuck here for two days until we go to the next Earth. Take a look outside! You''ll see that we''re on a different Earth.¡± I said as she finally found a weapon. ¡°Why should I listen to you? I don''t even know you''re name.¡± She said as she eyed me suspiciously. ¡°Well my name is James Lee Ramons, what is yours?¡± I asked. ¡°My name is Rachel, and that''s all you need to know. Now that we have exchanged pleasantries I must now kill you.¡± She said as she raised the pipe above her head, and prepared to strike. Except that we heard a loud screeching coming from outside, and the something started banging on the outside of the warehouse. ¡°Well that doesn¡¯t sound good. What do you say you just put your anger into trying to keep whatever it is from killing us?¡± I asked the black-haired beauty. ¡°Fine, but this isn¡¯t over.¡± Rachel said as she took my jacket and put it on. She then started to walk over to the door the banging seemed to be coming from. ¡°Wait a second. Why don''t we develop a plan before we get ourselves killed?¡± I asked her. ¡°The plan is that we go and kill whatever it is.¡± Rachel said calmly as she threw her pipe to me and found herself a new one. We then proceeded to slam the door open, and see what the banging was. It turned out to be something that filled my heart with joy. It was a ZOMBIE! I knew that from the smell, and the fact that it had no arms. You don''t know how happy this made me. Some may think that it''s weird to love zombies, but it''s the perfect opportunity to kill without consequences. Unauthorized use: this story is on Amazon without permission from the author. Report any sightings. ¡°YAY! I LOVE ZOMBIES!¡± I screamed with joy as I beat it to death...or super death I guess. Rachel just watched me with a strange look on her face. Like a mix of confusion, and attraction. I guess that the women on her Earth liked strong, and fearless guys. ¡°You''re insane, aren''t you?¡± She asked me as I finished off the zombie. ¡°Insane? You don''t have to be nice you know. Now either that was a zombie, or that was an armless hobo looking for food. Either way we should get outta here.¡± I said happily as I walked away from the scene of the crime. With Morgan looking at me like I was insane, and a nagging feeling that I shouldn''t have brought her along we started walking. After a few minutes of walking I found signs that the Apocalypse couldn''t have been going on for more than a year. I also found a sign that told me where we were. We were in Salt Lake City, Utah of all places. Strange considering I was originally in the Roman Empire. Seems that I''m in the Colony''s, and not in Rome it''s safe to assume that I''m put in random places each time I cross the Dimensional Barrier. Well that''s good to know. ¡°James, I see two of those zombie things 20 meters on the left and three 30 meters on the right.¡± Rachel said at the intersection. ¡°OK let''s go with the left.¡± I said as we ran over to the two deadies. I beat the closer one to super death, and let Rachel take care of the other one. And thus we continued for five and a half hours. ¡°I''m already tired of this Zombie Apocalypse. The TV shows were much more cool. All we do is sneak around and hit any that try to kill us. I''m tired and my arm is even more tired from carrying this damn pipe. Let''s just find somewhere to shack up for the night and wait for a better world in a day and a half.¡± I told Rachel. ¡°You want to leave already? You were so excited a while ago. Well anyways you are right. It''s best that we pick some place to hide, and wait it out. Maybe the next world will have food that hasn''t gone bad.¡± Rachel said as we started to look around for a good place to camp. We ended up deciding on a nice little convenience store near what used to be the ''hood¡¯ as some would call it. I really liked it because of the iron bars covering the windows. Gotta love the anti-hoodlem convenience stores. It wasn''t much, but at least it was safe...ish. Once we were sure that there wasn''t anyone (or thing) here, we searched for supplies. Of course there was nothing. ¡°Everything''s been picked clean. Guess we''ll have to wait till the next world.¡± I said. ¡°Well at least we only have around a day and a half left.¡± Rachel said. ¡°Technically we have a day and and 8 hours left.¡± I said ¡°What the hell ever.¡± Rachel replied. ¡°Well since we have nothing to do, why don''t you tell me about your world?¡± I asked her. ¡°Fine then, since we have nothing to do but wait, I''ll tell ya. About ten years ago my world created self-replicating nanobots to work for us. We had them do everything from mining to medicine, but then one day a guy by the name of Stephen Raymond had the idea to use the nanobots to create pet animals. He apparently set the resource acquisition rate, and the scaling too high. At least that''s what the news said before it went offline.¡± Rachel said as I stated at her. ¡°Well isn''t that something. Guess my father is the Multiverse¡¯s screw up.¡± I said with a sigh. ¡°Wait didn''t you say your last name is Ramons, his last name was Raymond. Also you''re not from my world so he can''t be your father.¡± Rachel said. ¡°Actually my last name is Raymond, but I like Ramons better. Also it''s true that I''m not from your world, but it is likely that it''s parallel version of my father. He always did do stupid things like that. Well that was an interesting story, I''m now gonna take a nap. Wake me up in four hours for my watch.¡± I said as I got a bag of chips that still had air in it and put it under my head. ¡°How can you sleep now? We could be attacked any second by the zombies.¡± Rachel said. ¡°I''m more of the indoor type and I''m not used to all this exercise, so I''m super tired. Anyways goodnight, sleep tight, and don''t let the zombies bite.¡± I said as I went to sleep. ¡°Seriously...Why did I have to be here with this idiot?¡± Rachel asked herself as she began to keep watch. And so a day and 6 hours passed uneventfully. And at the appointed time I said the magic words, and we were transported to the next world. As I opened my eyes I saw an amazing sight. The ocean was standing before us. ¡°Thank you Multiverse God! We can finally have a break, and relax. I was getting tired of not having an AC, but at least we have a cool ocean!¡± I said as I took my lab coat and shirt off, and began swimming. ¡°Hey shouldn''t we scout the place out first, and make sure it''s safe?¡± Rachel asked. ¡°It''s an island! What could be dangerous here? I doubt that there''s a polar bear, or a smoke monster here. Come on in and enjoy the water!¡± I said. I didn''t know at the time but there was something even worse than a polar bear on this quaint little island...
