Chapter 9 - Chapter #8

//Maybe Important Announcement!! Read the Author's thoughts below!~//

"Ahhhhhh!"

You may be wondering why I'm shouting; well, I'm currently experiencing what you might call an "Open your eyes" phenomenon, which Dr. Strange himself experienced.

'I haven't even met the 'Ancient One', so why is this happening to me? What if some abominable being spotted me here?' I pondered in agitation as a laser-like light that gave off different colors came out of my hand

The last thing I knew was that I was shot. Then, bang! I'm somehow floating in the endless cosmos.

"Ӌօմ էհìղҟ էհąէ էհìʂ ʍąէҽɾìąӀ մղìѵҽɾʂҽ ìʂ ąӀӀ էհҽɾҽ ìʂ?"

"Ahhhhh!" I screamed when I saw my multiple bodies construct and deconstruct to ashes. As I entered a wormhole, my body stretched to an impossible degree due to how fast I was.

"ῳɧąɬ ıʂ ཞɛąƖ? ῳɧąɬ ɱყʂɬɛཞıɛʂ Ɩıɛ ცɛყơŋɖ ɬɧɛ ཞɛąƈɧ ơʄ ყơųཞ ʂɛŋʂɛʂ?"

The moment that I came out of the wormhole, what I saw was destruction. An explosion of stars and gasses from various dimensions. By this time, I calmed myself down and appreciated the chaos and beauty of the cosmos...the dimensions, the different parts of the universe. It allowed me to widen and expand my mind to the possibility of this world. The world that I've watched as a spectator in my past has become my reality.

"Aƚ ƚԋҽ ɾσσƚ σϝ ҽxιʂƚҽɳƈҽ, ɱιɳԃ αɳԃ ɱαƚƚҽɾ ɱҽҽƚ. Tԋσυɠԋƚʂ ʂԋαρҽ ɾҽαʅιƚყ."

The being continued his speech as I watched my hand grow out several hands. The hands continued to surround me, covering my whole body and forming a much larger me. I drifted into its eyes causing me to go to another wormhole and entered a realm made out of glass.

"Tԋιʂ υɳιʋҽɾʂҽ ιʂ σɳʅყ σɳҽ σϝ αɳ ιɳϝιɳιƚҽ ɳυɱႦҽɾ."

My trajectory once I entered the dimension that is made up of mirrors came to a stop. My pace has slowed down and my body stabilizes itself, enabling me to stand right up.

"ฬ๏гɭ๔ร ฬเՇђ๏ยՇ єภ๔."

Once I had stabilized myself and my breathing, only then was I able to clearly see my surroundings and found an old man standing before me...watching the kaleidoscopic world. With an evident content in his eyes.

MЦᄂƬIverse?" The One-Above-All inquired at the striking young man behind him.

"Who are you?" The young man stated as he continued,

"Why did you bring me here? What do you want with me?" The young man, whose name is Lucas Spectre, questioned the One-Above-All.

"Too many questions, Mr. Spectre. Why question me when you can know the answer yourself? After all, you're a smart man, aren't you?" The One-Above-All said as he turned around to face Lucas.

"What do y-" Lucas muttered in confusion, but as he saw the face of the old man that stood before him, he gaped in shock.

"One-Above-All...holy s-" Lucas said in shock but was interrupted by One-Above-All saying,

"Language." He said with a pearl of known wisdom in his eyes.

The young man, Lucas, almost couldn't believe what he was seeing. He didn't know what to say to this great being, I mean, for him to meet Stan Lee? The legend himself?

In his previous life, Lucas idolized him for creating a whole universe from his imagination.

His cameos in different Marvel movies were always waited by Lucas whenever a new Marvel movie comes out, so he was most saddened when he passed away without being able to see him in person and thanking him for the great childhood that he gave to millions of people.

Because of nervousness and his amazement at the man who stood before him, he did what every human does when they meet someone higher up in the social hierarchy. He kneeled, or nearly kneeled, but was stopped by One-Above-All, who said,

"We don't do that here," while waving his hands, indicating Lucas to not kneel.

"Come here, son," the One-Above-All said to Lucas, motioning for him to stand by his side.

Lucas still perplexed at what is happening stood right next to where the Above-All-Others is.

"Stan Lee..." Lucas muttered under his breath still in awe.

"Stan Lee? HAHAHA! It's been forever since I've heard that name, son. Nostalgic times, special times..." The One-Above-All laughed as he reminisced about the past.

"I'll ask again, do you want me to tell you, who are you in this vast multiverse, Mr. Spectre?" The One-Above-All questioned Lucas who finally managed to calm down

"Yes...sir," Lucas said as he appreciated the sight of the mirror dimension.

"Ever since I reincarnated/transmigrated here, I have always wondered what's my purpose... it's killing me inside, that every time I saw my friends...the people living in this world, I saw them as...characters." Lucas stated as he clench his hands in guilt

"I need a more in-depth closure than interacting with them...I first need to know what I am, am I just the lucky or unlucky bastard whose soul got drifted to the marvel-verse, or is there something more to me?" He questioned with an unreadable expression written on his face, seemingly confused, sad, and frustrated at his situation.

"You're right in questioning yourself son, in every drifters that have drifted in my universe, you're the only one that I intended to meet, do you know why?"

"Drifters?" Lucas asked

"Oh! right, drifters are beings like you, who came from the void itself, it's where I fetch you from, actually." The One-Above-All answered Lucas's question.

"So, there are indeed others like me, maybe they're the MCs of those fanfic that I've read in the past," Lucas muttered with a thoughtful expression.

"Yes...anyways, as I've said, do you know why I intentionally decided to meet you?" The One-Above-All asked.

"No, why?" Lucas asked in curiosity.

"That's because I 'need' you! Scratch that, the Marvel Universe itself needs you." The One-Above-All declared with an exclamation.

"Bu-but why I'm just-, I'm just Lucas. Yes, just Lucas," Lucas said clearly imitating a certain wizard that he watched in his past life.

"Well, just Lucas~, let me break it up to you right now, that the Marvel Universe itself has chosen you to become it's very own, drum roll please~, Recorder!" The One-Above-All said while summoning a drum out of nowhere and drumming it.

"The '̴̨͇̣̪̈̓̅R̸͗̔e̸̜̭̋̚c̷̡̃̓̈͝o̸̞͕͕̰̜͂̚r̸̳̲̋̉́͝d̵̻͕̼͍̏͠ĕ̴̬͒r̴̨̨̺̰̹̓͆͝? What the..." Lucas uttered, stumped because when he spoke of 'Recorder, it changed into an unknown language.

"Yeah, about that, Akashic himself restricted that to avoid divulging the information to others. As long as everybody mentioned that with the intention to say the 'Recorder' as the being itself it gets blurred out."

"I see...so, you mean to say that I'm what you say I am? Then what's my purpose, why does the Marvel Universe itself need me?" Lucas asked with a confused look.

"That's because you're the 'Recorder' a being of unimaginable power, your purpose...task is to store the record of everything, everywhere, and everywhen. Even the birth of the Marvel Multiverse itself." The One-Above-All stated with a serious expression as he continued.

"Akashic Records. A place where every recorded world will go to. It's the place that you alone will be able to go, once you've finished your task, your purpose, and your fate."

"But...how? How will I even record something that I haven't seen, and what type of recorder will I use? A camera? Are you serious?" Lucas asked in a frustrated voice, confused about how will he do his supposed to be purpose.

"HAHAHAHA!" The One-Above-All laughed out loud clearly amused at what Lucas said.

"It has been some time since I laugh, my son, but to answer your question, no you will not do it with a camera, pfft~" The One-Above-All clarified while holding his laugh, causing Lucas to roll his eyes.

"Look at your surroundings Lucas and tell me what you can see." The One-Above-All told Lucas while gesturing for him where to look.

"I can see, the Mirror Dimension?" Lucas replied.

"Yes...the Mirror Dimension, but...is that really all there is?" The One-Above-All asked with a hidden meaning in his word.

"Yes..." Lucas said while still looking at the ever-changing Mirror Dimension.

"No, Lucas, look, what do you think the Mirror Dimension looks like?" The One-Above-All said as the surroundings became much darker and sinister.

"It looks like...the Dark Dimension." Lucas eyed the dimension clearly, they are still in the Mirror Dimension, however, the images and aura that the mirrors contain are from the Dark Dimension itself.

"Won't Dormammu see me here?" I asked, afraid of meeting the absurdly powerful dark entity.

"Yes, but you don't need to worry about that because no one outside can see you in your dimension other than me and Living Tribunal. If you're a normal sorcerer, then yes Dormammu can see you, but you're the Lord of the Mirror Dimension." He said as we continued walking toward the darkest spots of the Mirror-Dark Dimension.

"By the way, no need to worry about anyone's clairvoyance, seers, and infinity stones. Being the Recorder has its perks." He added as we saw Dormammu's giant purple eyes.

One-Above-All stands before Dormammu's enormous purple eyes and sticks his tongue out while pulling down his lower eyelids, blatantly insulting Dormammu.

'Holy sh*t' I thought flabbergasted at what the One-Above-All did.

"HAHAHAH see? Look at your face," He laughed while pointing at my shocked face.

He wipe his eyes for the tears that were formed.

"Back to the topic, yes, we are in the Dark Dimension. But! We are pocketed in your dimension, young Lucas," He said as he eyed me knowingly.

"Impossible..." I said with widened eyes.

I thought the Mirror Dimension only mirrors the real world, not other dimensions.

"You are correct on your assumption, Lucas, the Mirror Dimension is a nigh-omnipresent dimension. In every dimension in the vast multiverse, there is a Mirror Dimension, mirroring it. It's been recording the Marvel Universe even before time, Lucas..." The One-Above-All said to Lucas, making Lucas astonished at his revelation.
