A little girl around 9-10 years old left her village to play in the nearby forest like her mother suggested her to, she always plays in the forest since she was 3 usually with her father, brother or her friends but this time she decided to go off on her own, she has done it before and the forest wasn't a dangerous place.
Skipping through the footpath, stopping occasionally to pick up some berries, to look at some pretty rocks, stare at an animal… Just the usual things a child does when bored.
Suddenly, a shiny coin falls seemingly from the sky, attracting the girl's attention and getting her to stop in her tracks and inspect it. The coin wasn't anything special, other than its impressive sheen it was a regular coin not one that the girl recognised but normal nonetheless.
*RUMBLE* *RUMBLE*
The earth below her started shaking and a huge thunderous sound filled the forest.
The girl fell back as a landslide brought down every tree that tried to stand in its way barely missing her. Absolutely terrified by this sight the girl threw everything she was holding and ran back the way she came crying and screaming for help.
Coming out of the greenery that was hiding him, a man looked at the girl with a pitying look and picked up the coin she left behind.
? "She actually took the bait? I didn't think it would work…"
Staring at the coin between his fingers he took another look to where the girl ran and back to the scene of the landslide behind him.
? "Not even a thank you… I shouldn't have interfered to begin with…"
He took a deep breath and let out a big sigh.
? "I should change it back."
With that declaration, he stood tall, closed his eyes and made a peaceful expression.
His body started emitting a strange light, red shockwaves surrounded his body then violently dissipated as soon as they appeared.
The man's body fell to the ground as if no one was occupying it.

? "What should I do here? Maybe distract her somehow? Do I even have any means to do so? Oh! This should do it."
The man hiding behind the trees held a coin in his hand and was ready to thro–
He stopped in his place, his eyes darkened and his body lost balance for a split second.
? "I almost got it wrong but that was perfect timing. Anyways…"
As if changing his mind, he put the coin he pulled out of his pocket back in it and focused on watching the girl that was skipping through the forest.
*RUMBLE* *RUMBLE*
The earth below her started shaking and a huge thunderous sound filled the forest.
Yet this time with no reason to stop she wandered too far into danger and she fell back as a landslide brought down every tree that tried to stand in its way, she tried to escape but was not fast enough.
? "...Nature truly is a ruthless place."
The man approached the sight of the landslide after it settled down a bit, trying to find any sign of the girl with no luck.
? "Watching this a second time doesn't make it better… These humans are pitiful."
The look he had turned from sympathy to frustration.
? "Well, they are purely three dimensional beings so it was my fault for expecting anything from them… I mean they are technologically advanced enough but they are plain humans, nothing special about any of them. I've done my research and have no time wars or anything similar and no one that seemed like an actual time traveller, their wars are boring and the people that claim to be time travellers are all posers.
If that girl had some fourth dimensional blood running through her she would have been able to do something about what happened to her but she ends up dead without my help, who cares if it's illegal to evade your death like that not like they have regulations in this batch of universes. They will never find me here."
? "But I'm bored out of my mind here. It would've been way more fun if I was on the run again or in some type of stand off against another like me… I escaped from them by the skin of my teeth yet here I am missing that feeling. I mean this universe is really boring, especially being completely alone here… Wait! I might have an idea on how I can fix that…Hahaha"
He was giggling to himself like he found what he was looking for.
He started walking towards the village that girl came from.
? "What name should I go with? Keith? No, I want something unique. Neverbeen? That sounds more like a surname… eh who cares I'll come up with one later. For now I should focus on how I should go on doing this. If I want to…"
Coming up with a plan that he expressed to the forest, he started initiating it as soon as he reached the village.
