ADMINISTRATOR

The prison was a fake, so does that mean my mom would still be alive? I should somehow try to reach my mom, if she is alive then she must have gone to our country farm.

Or so I thought, as soon as I got out of that fake prison building, what I saw in front of me was, bodies…dead bodies….heaps, piles.

WHAT THE FUCK!!!

There's another me coming outside of building? Wait exact same building?

There's another me coming outside of building? Wait exact same building?

There's another me coming outside of building? Wait exact same building?

WHAT THE HELL!!!

A piercing blow in my abdomen, I bent forward and could see everything behind me through the hole created within me, this hurts.

In front of me is standing me? My look alike?

"Don't be so confused, I just came out of the fake prison building and saw a look alike, you know, look alikes have been a real pain in the ass for the real ones, had to ensure my survival"

"Don't be so confused, I just came out of the fake prison building and saw a look alike….

"Shut up!!!!"

I garnered my strength and ripped a hole straight through this another man who looked like me

POTENT GLITCH…POTENT GLITCH

It went dark, then there was light, now what I see in front of me is a blue couch, strikingly bright, the entire room is painted blue and in front of me is sitting a man drinking tea? I guess.

"Hey! Man you woke up, come on here sit on the couch and have some cosmic tea…hehe just kidding it's just regular tea, but you wouldn't even know its taste, since tea plantation went extinct in your world 83 years ago."

This man is tall and lean, but I get a feeling that he is strong, I should just proceed through questions, without provoking him.

"Who are you and where am I?"

"Couldn't have asked anything more cliché even if I tried"

"Well then if you find this question cliché then I hope you have your answers prepared", I sat down on the couch across him. He poured me a cup of tea, this is the first time I have seen tea, where would he even get it. This smells good.

"Don't be shy and drink it, I am to the point guy so I will tell you everything you want to ask, but only for 7 minutes and 7 seconds, after that we go back online", said the man.

"Who are you?"

"I am Holland, an administrator"

"What do you mean by that?"

"Well think of me as a game developer and your universe as a game."

What the? This weirdness has been going on ever since I got that call from uncle (fake?) I don't even have time to get used to it.

"So by going online, you mean there's a maintenance going on?"

"Hey!!! You're a smart one, I will explain, humans have a life and death cycle, at the same time you guys have clarified the multiversal theory as truth. Parallel universes and regular shitshow, right?"

"Elementary kids know that too, what's your point?", I replied

"You all are almost correct, except for the fact that our multiverse consists of only 7 universes not infinite"

"Wait, how's that possible, numbers are infinite so each and every decision made by humans and nature must branch the timeline into many universes!!!" It seems that he has piqued my intellectual interest, this guy is quite good at making people feel comfortable no matter the predicament.

"No, the number of administrators are limited, a new timeline only surfaces when a new administrator is recruited"

"So you control my universe?"

"Yes"

"So what are we N.P.Cs are our lives a joke to you?"

"An administrator's only job is to flow the time in circles around the universe, what you do with your life is in your hands, plus I don't have control over who takes birth or who dies, birth is in hands of humans and probability, death is in hands of "DEPARTMENT OF FATE", the multiverse concept you guys know of does exist but has nothing to do with administrative universe."

"Elaborate"

"There are 7 universes being run by different administrators under same administrative rules and departments, long ago 7 men broke free of chains of life and death, fate and will ; and established their own universes to oppose The God"

This couldn't get any weirder, a few minutes ago I was going to look for my mom and now here I am listening to weird rant about universes. I need to figure out a way to get out of here.

Therefore, I said, "God is real?"

"Not for us, but rather some weird universe, that has no administrator"

"So multiverse, does exist? But they're not under our sphere of influence", I asked.

"Yeah, and I am telling this to you because a certain letter you received in the prison cell was not created in any of the 7 administrations." said, Holland.

"So someone from non-administrative multiverse, is interfering with us?"

"Yeah but we don't know which one, since infinite non administrative universes exist outside of administrative zone, there's a black ocean between the administrative multiverse border and non-administrative multiverse. So the question is how did you receive that letter?"

"So you want my help or something?"

"A low dimension being like you couldn't help us but I noticed that moments before receiving that letter, you were able to see your imminent death in that prison cell in advance and was able to prevent it by distorting, the dimension between dream and reality. Humans of my administration have advanced to the point that all diseases have been cured and universal literacy is 100%, you guys have also discovered and inhabited all the planets in my administration, yet why do humans dream is the only question, we never answered and before we could find the why, we found the guy who can manipulate the dreams."

"So you want me to use my dream manipulation to go to the non-administrative universe?"

"Bingo!"

"Too bad, I just discovered this power, 6 hours ago, I don't know much about it either."

This indirect refusal by me can provoke him enough to explain my ability but for some reason he keeps rambling about universes, instead of explaining my ability. Will this provocation be enough?

"Well, your ability creates a new non-administrative universe, which is basically your lucid dreams, whatever you do there, creates a real distortion in our world."

Nice, I got this higher being to explain my ability to me, but if it's connected to that letter, then it is highly likely that this dude knows only enough of my ability he has seen and not full extent.

I need to contact, the non-administrative region from where, I received this letter, only then can I figure out what exactly has happened to me. But this guy seems like a bureaucrat, getting a straight answer from him seems impossible, there are infinite universes outside of this guy's and 6 other administrative universe, if they are functioning properly then either these guys are rebels to 'The God' with right heart or are dictators at universal level.

In order to figure out, why was I granted this power immediately after I was arrested and defamed and whether this guy sitting in front of me is friend or foe, I am going to ask him two questions to analyse his intentions and then make a statement of refusal even if I agree.

"Why did the 7 people rebel against, God?"

"Because he raises the universe till the dominant creatures of that universe attain height of their civilization and then consumes them for his life source replenishment"

"So in order for humans to have longevity, administrators established their own universes? So that our universes go on forever and we live without any problems?"

"Precisely, like a permanent bubble that wouldn't burst no matter what, there are 7 like them out of God's control."

"What about my mom then, is she okay?", I asked to check his reaction

"She died, that remains true, but we couldn't record her death as non-administrative forces might have a play in this", replied Holland.

"So you want me to find this non-administrative creature, using my dimensional distortion of dreams and reality?"

"Yes Peter."

"I refuse, I still need to know the full extent of my new found powers"

"Peter, I hate how some non-administrative forces entered our universe and killed your mom, I care for each of my universe's creature, it is hurtful and agonizing", said Holland.

That's a rather strong reaction. I will agree with his proposal, because disagreeing first and then agreeing, creates a sense of trust, it's noteworthy that he still might not trust me enough, but I should seize this opportunity to figure everything out, while I can.

If I can distort dreams and reality, then reviving my mom won't be difficult, hence I should first try to escape this universe and find out the one who bestowed me with this power, that way I can save my mom and also figure out the real intentions of administrator's.

Because this administrator or whatever is lying and is definitely involved in my mother's death.
