2021-09-01 22:43:40Ethan’s house was quite colorful with different plants in pots outside, with a huge windmill system and mini-dish in my roof- it was located by the far side of the MDWD.
Ethan’s house seemed so out of place- it was colorful and cozy, whereas the rest of the buildings that surrounded it were all dull and gray.
The girl laughed as she saw the place, and Ethan defensively tried to explain, “That’s- the dish thing is for my work.”
“What work?”
“I’m a pizza delivery guy.”
The girl asked as she raised an eyebrow, “And what exactly do you do?”
Ethan replied, “I deliver pizza all over the multiverse.”
“That sounds cool,” she muttered softly.
“Normally, as a courtesy, I’d ask you what do you do, but you probably don’t remember, so you have the second-highest privilege out of everything else in the multiverse.”
“And what is that?”
“My co-deliverywoman.” Ethan flashed a huge grin as he continued, “You get to see everything. That’s the coolest plus you can maybe find a timeline for you to stay for a while as Watt suggested.”
“How long have you been an… Irregular?”
“Hm… that’s rather a tough question.” Ethan explained, “Here, time doesn’t run, so I’m still 18 years old, and I have been for quite a while, you do the math. I’m the 23rd irregular, and now, you’re the 199th. You can say I’ve been here for quite a long time.”
“You’re a case of Blackout too, right?”
“Spot on.”
“So why stay here?”
Ethan opened the door and invited her in, and he wasn’t exactly sure why but he just kind of did. Well, it was indeed a cool job, so why not? As soon as the girl entered his house, she was fascinated by a lot of things and clumsily made gadgets were around. Ethan remarked, “Excuse the mess. It’s been a while since I had a visitor.”
Ah, pardon our protagonist- Ethan was lying. He has never had a visitor.
“It looks really cool here.” The girl remarked, and just then, Ethan drew his face closer to hers. She was obviously blushing as she tried to look away. She asked, “Why? What’s wrong with my face?”
“Your eyes.”
The girl flinched as she saw her reflection in the mirror across from her. Her eyes were too different in color. Out of shock and embarrassment, she covered her face and mumbled, “Do I look weird?”
“No.” Ethan removed her hands and continued, “They look lovely.”
Just then, Ethan realized how close he had been- their faces were only a couple inches away from each other. Ethan almost immediately backed away and stuttered awkwardly, “Ah, sorry about uh… that.”
He changed the topic, “Well, Chronna, let me show you the hoops around this job.”
“Chronna?” the girl chuckled.
“Yeah, calling you irregular no.199 is a bit weird, don’t you think?” Ethan continued, “Besides, your eyes. The name suits you well, don’t you agree?”
“Chronna…” She murmured before she smiled and said, “I like it.”
Ethan showed Chronna how the satellite dish on his roof is linked to his smartwatch. He projected the screen of his smartwatch to the wall and explained, “Holding the asterisk on the other end would redirect their call to us- space pizza delivery people and our trusty oven over there will print out the pizza they wanted.”
Chronna chuckled as she found it all bizarre yet oddly entertaining. She remarked, “And you get to see different timelines? Meet different species and people?”
“No, we’re not really allowed to go to the timelines ourselves, but we do see it.” Ethan explained, “The Timekeepers are the ones who deliver it to them.”
“Timekeepers?”
“Yes, the timekeepers are meant to protect everyone from the fact that there are different timelines and us- dimensional dealers who are able to jump from timeline and dimension to another, so instead, we give the order to them.”
“So they don’t know you exist?” Chronna asked, “That’s… kind of sad.”
“Is it? Think of us as secret superheroes. I mean, literally, we deliver pizza. What superpower could top that?”
“You’re really funny.”
Chronna roamed around the place and saw a bottle of cola lying around the floor, and she recognized its brand from Earth before she was discovered by the time police. Chronna remarked, “Is that coke? The soda?”
“Oh, you recognize it.” Ethan explained excitedly, “Yes, it indeed is and from the year 1905. I drank it with Einstein, which led him to the discovery of the theory of relativity that ultimately changed the world- crap, I said too much, didn’t I?”
Chronna chuckled as she remarked sarcastically, “And here I thought we’re not allowed to meet people from the other timelines and make our presence known?”
“I sneak out every now and then. Just don’t tell Watt.”
“Copy that, Ethan.”
For some reason, Ethan felt something he hasn’t felt before. He could not explain or pinpoint what exactly it was. He knew it was similar to the feeling of high, but it’s different somehow.
Ethan felt… warm as Chronna mentioned his name.
He felt at home even though he had a vague understanding of what it was. Ethan cleared his throat and explained, “Well, all that I know, I either read from the MDWD’s library- it’s the huge building out front, or I learned it on the job.”
Chronna nodded as she took notes like an exemplary student, which made Ethan laughed.
“What? Why are you laughing at me?” Chronna asked, confused.
“It’s nothing.” That was what Ethan said, but in his thought, he was smiling like an idiot because Chronna looked cute like that.
Chronna was about to say something, but then Ethan’s line rang. His ringtone was a familiar sound that Ethan never got to remember where he heard it, but he did not think about it much considering how many travels he’d done.
Ethan checked it and saw that it was a delivery notification. He excitedly glanced at Chronna as he stated, “Well, Chronna, you got your first delivery.”
“Really? Where?”
Ethan shook his head, “Rule number one on this job, you don’t say where. You say when.”
“Okay, when?”
He smiled, before he said, “3042, Cloud Atlas. Are you up for an adventure?”

Chronna looked at Ethan, and without being able to say a word, she squeezed her hands when Ethan tried to touch her face. The woman saw him and in a display of tremendous anger.She shook her head and then said, “No!! Nerd! No way! I won’t let that happen, I won’t let you do it, and I won’t, no, that’s out of the question!”Ethan looked at her and raised his hands to calm her down.The young woman closed her fist and hit it on her face as she said, “No! There’s nothing you can say to make me change my mind. There’s not one damn thing you can say that’ll make me just say, okay, Ethan, go and die. No!!”The screams attracted a huge crowd of people. Lulabay and Chloe entered the room.Chronna, with her weapons raised, looked at Ethan, who, with the blow to her face, tried to say, “It’s the only way, Chronna!”But the young woman submerged in despair said, &ldquo

The war was over, the north won, but in the current circumstances, there really was no winner. In the conference room of the Etherion palace, he looked at the table and his hands tied to the armrests.His victorious image had lasted for two years, beating that stupid delivery guy over and over again so that now, he was standing in front of him with all the haters with the power in his pocket.Ethan approached and, breathing exasperated, said, “Etherion, tell me where your notes are, where you have the gadgets. We need to find a solution to this damn problem!”But the man was looking at him with the same expression he had worn for the past two hours, an expression filled with ignorance and a complete lack of compassion.Etherion continued, “You can ask any way you want! But I’d rather everyone die than give you my research, and you won’t use all these years of development to save those dirty people!”Chloe o

Ethan remembered each of the occasions where he had died, all the times that his body had hit the ground and the re-starts of each of them, the broken bones, the internal injuries.All the injuries he had sustained, looking back on everything that had happened, his body had taken an enormous amount of damage.Waking up from that terrible attack, he put his hands on the ground and got up with his mouth bleeding.He spits on the ground to see Elena surprised that the man had withstood that attack. She looked at him with hatred.Ethan cracked his neck and looked up. He saw how Chronna looked at him in pain and said, “Don’t get up, Chronna. I’ll take care of it.”The girl wanted to protest, but something in her eyes reminded him of when he saved her twenty-five again.Elena looked at him, smiling and getting up. She said, “What’s different this time? That you’re so sure you can handle it, stupid!”<

Lulabay and Chronna looked at the guard. Chronna took out two daggers from the inventory, one she gave to Lulabay and the other she took, zipping up the delivery man’s jacket.She knew perfectly well how hard that material was and saw Lulabay say, “You have to beat this guy!”She lunged at the guard with a lunge, but Chronna’s spinning knife deflected Chronna’s just before she kneed him in the stomach.Then, swinging the knife horizontally, she slashed at the girl, but the knife edge hit the blade—jacket without penetrating it.Chronna stepped back while Lulabay, who had more combat experience, stepped forward.The young woman attacked specific places, but the man defended himself efficiently.Their arms were crossed, each one holding the knife tightly when Lulabay dropped down and attacked the guard’s ankle who, supporting his weight with his hands, saw her suspended near the floor only for a second
