Chapter 8 - #8 - No One Likes Gravity

A/N: This chapter may be confusing, see the author's thoughts for more details

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A week has passed since I began my Joestar Life. I haven't been just laying around, I have tried to make improvments to my hamon, i made some, but not really important.

It's around 2pm, Jojo's spending time with Erina, who i actually hadn't talked with yet, even though i have mentioned her a bit, well, she will eventually be his wife so I'll have time.

I'm sitting on the desk of my room, It's a traditional one, There's a bed, a wood shelve with decorations in the borders. Mostly there for books.

It feels kinda weird that everyone says "you have to read this new book"

And it's Ana Karenina, or Crime and Punishment.

Matter of fact, Historical figures are still alive and doing stuff that would make them famous.

Oscar Wilde will publish Dorian Grey in still Ten years.

It should be obvious, but still...

Anyways, it's not that important, what is important is what happened through the week.

I befriended Jack, and made some notes about him.

First, he's shy, not introverted, he's shy; Second, he has loving parents, too loving, they definitely play to being the proper parent in front of me.

Maybe they're pleased that their only son is friends with the son of the richest guy around.

Anyways, the third and most important, I figured out Jack. His identity, or more like, his part on fate. And with that, I figured out mine.

Jack has been touched by fate, Cursed?, Maybe; Blessed?, Probably not.

The reason for his Edgy, Isekai Mc apperance, is because he's(will be) Jack The Ripper.

Now, while surprising, It's not "fate altering", no, what's really special is what happened the other day.

Two days ago

I was walking through the streets with Jack, we were both on normal clothing, well, anything that wouldn't be strange to see kids with.

We were talking while jumping through the crates(Again, too much of these), I started doing it because i was bored, while Jack just followed me.

Everything was going fine, until we both jumped to the same crate, i failed the landing and i fell to the ground, head first, but thanks to my special body i didn't suffer too much damage.

He unfortunately didn't have that.

That angle, at a young age, a rather weak body.

It all points to a life changing accident, I could already see the future, Him with full body paralysis or straight up death.

Until...

He did a weird flip, no, the space itself changed the course of it's body.

It was pulled.

His body was pulled to the right angle.

I noticed the pull, because I felt it too, i felt getting pulled the same way that his body corrected to.

And he was fine. He fell on his butt and did a slight groan, but he was fine.

I was not.

I was bewildered to say the least.

"What was that?" I asked him

"What? I just failed a landing..." His voice is now stronger, but still a bit shy.

"..."

"?"

"Nothing, nothing..."

He wasn't ignoring it, He wasn't concious of it either.

It was as if his brain couldn't understand what happened, so it completely ignored it, the same way you can't percieve every drop of water in the rain, the same way people reffer to eldritch sounds as a really loud screech that they can't define any other way.

It just happens, and they, the people of this world are barely aware of it.

It seems like I'll have to think about that later...

...

...

It is now later.

Yes, two days after that.

Now, I didn't just sit idly these two days, I reached a hypothesis.

It's all about Fate.

The tab already talked about fate, but I thought I could just evade it by erasing it

Jojo's itself is all based around fate, but I didn't thought it would matter now, 200 years before Dio gets to his conclutions about fate and Pucci acts using them as a guide.

Now, let me begin by saying, Fate in Jojo's is real, and not just as a plot device, or as ¨The Joestars are fated to clash against Dio/The evil of the world¨

Oh no, It runs way deeper than that.

In this world, Fate is Gravity.

Yes, it's weird, but think about it.

Dio tells pucci that "All meetings of people are based of their gravitational pull"

Pucci's famous phrase "Do you believe in gravity?" Is the same as asking "Do you believe in fate?"

Diavolo talks a lot about fate, saying stuff like "Fate has given me King Crimson to reign a top", While commiting his bad stuff, not knowing he is fullfilling his fate by antagonizing Giorno, and eventually plays a part in awakening GER.

Funny Valentine couldn't get rid of the infinite spin's influence because gravity was a primordial force across all universes.

Through basic physics, everyone knows that time and gravity are deeply related, and all main antagoinsts in the old universe (Parts 1-6) have Time related powers, Dio and Kars as vampires had Immortality through Eternal life, in other words, not affected by time as a human would.

The meteor with the stand virus was attracted to the earth by its gravitational pull(every meteor does, but still)

The weird guy that had the guilt stand and blackmailed Koichi's family in part 4 said something along the lines of "Stand users attract Stand Users"

In that same part Kira's father uses the arrow's pull towards humans with potential.

Hell, Kira's pull was so strong that the arrow carved itself into his body, giving him Bites The Dust

Now, Where am I going with this?

Well, The pull i felt while Jack was getting corrected, was definitely a gravitational pull.

That means Fate intervened directly in the world.

Because of Jack.

Because of Me.

If Jack hadn't met me, he would have grown to be the ripper as normally(I'm planing to not let that happen btw), now he had a new fate, that I had a hand in.

But my thoughtless actions almost kill him, disrupting his new fate.

Fate couldn't allow that, so instead of ending his fate direcly, or giving him a new one where he died there, it intervened.

So now, I got detected, That pull that i felt, That was fate trying to bring me into it's domain, where it could get rid of me and start weaving the threads for the people around me.

Fate recognized me, and I know that.

What does this mean now?

It means that my plans will have to go forward, a bit faster.

Fuck all of that "Helping speedwagon make his corporation and use it to gain military power, to go against the nazis in WW2(I'll still help speedwagon, but I won't wait 60 years for part 2 to start)"

I'll have to speedrun this.

I'll have to obtain the aja in 10 years tops.

Heaven in 5 to 10 years after that.

Now it's war.

A war I'll have to fight for all of my life.

A war against the primordial force of the universe.

A war against Fate
