1 -1- I wish I had another alternative

" my fellow colleagues, sponsors, countryman, friends, and family, What started out as a relativity theory for ages, was, in recent times on the cusp of near impossibility, due to lacking intelligence, manpower, technology, and engineering. The concept of finding or even discovering for that matter, a way to an alternate universe had eluded us. But now a singularity has appeared, Chief director Ibrahim of Civil Engineering actually got some sleep for once, even having the audacity of being late to work on this most historic day." looking around this brightly lit room full of reporters, family, Researchers, sponsors, and military personnel which once was a moment ago filled with an intense struggle between a very solemn or feverishly exciting atmosphere, was now punctured with the clamor of chuckles from an area crowded with researchers and interns. Standing on a slightly raised platform was a group of very young men and women of different ethnic backgrounds. This was a coalition of different countries on this project, which are standing off to the side as the speaker: a male with a slight tan, thick brown hair, and dark green eyes wearing a bodysuit slightly reminiscent of the sci-fi movies Tron, was giving a speech that was oozing with confidence. This young man of 18 years was a once in a thousand-year genius by the name of Ace. The technology of this era has surpassed the realm we can imagine today. They have colonies in 1000's of different Galaxies, Dyson spheres to harvest the energy of suns, light-speed travel, they have headgear that can teach everything about physics in a matter of seconds, that is impossible to forget because it is transferred to your brain directly. In summary the only unknown field, alternative universal travel was an uncharted territory ready to be discovered. Ace at 16 started research with high success and 2 years later, now, it is a reality. He volunteered to be the first pioneer to travel to another universe which was the cause of the tense atmosphere earlier because of the thought of something going wrong. Basically, 100% of the tense atmosphere was caused by the reporters and spectators watching on. The workers on the coalition project had fairly high hopes, they were only worried that during the transference, particle break down would occur, which may or may not destroy the equipment sent with Ace. The equipment sent is to record realtime data and to retrieve Ace back to his own dimension which is kind of important. A little bit after the speech was over Ace who was the director of planning and operations turned Guinea pig, was sitting very relaxed in a streamlined capsule, while many people were scurrying about to get everything ready. Meanwhile, a young girl of fifteen said on a device. "director Ace everything is ready, the particle transference device is ready, the multiverse has been chosen, and the parameters are set to intelligent, humanoid, and technologically advanced. At your signal, atomic deconstruction will commence." she said unhurriedly. "is the transfer window devices monitor being watched closely it won't mean anything if we don't we succeeded the transfer or not." Ace said nodding with approval. " that is affirmative Director Ace, Chief Thuan of data processing is eyeing it closely." the girl said. "Alright then commence the transfer immediately." Ace then braced himself while mildly wincing 'cause he did not know if it would be painful or not to do this. At this time everyone with bated breath looked upon the silver capsule with fervor. Just then at this time, the deconstruction started it wasn't too quick nor to slow as it looked Ace was being turned into sand that was disappearing starting with his head down, then it was over in a few seconds. In another room that was very very tense, tens of people were gathered around a young Vietnamese guy with glasses who was staring at what looked like a paper-thin computer monitor that displayed a blue grid and multiple layers of white ones, when out of nowhere the one gridded plane below the blue one turned red. As if the jack-in-the-box had opened, everyone had exploded into cheers and tears. Meanwhile in another dimension Ace who just now transferred, was nearly killed by an oncoming horse pulling a carriage. "The F**** what H*** hole was I transferred to." Ace thought, staring blankly around him in utter shock and anxiety. Common people wearing what looked like coarse clothes, warriors that looked like mercenaries from the dark ages, young nouveau rich sons pompously walking into expensive storefront selling merchandise or restaurants, with merchants wearing fine quality clothes, and a few guards who looked like they were on patrol, wearing armor and a uniform, stopped a dispute between a few merchants for Darwin knows what. "get your A** out of the middle of the road. My master has urgent matters to attend to." quipped the middle-aged driver that nearly ran him over, his carriage was now stopped in the middle of the paved road. "hahaha lieutenant Henderson pay him no heed it's nothing too urgent, far from it in fact. He must be a foreigner arriving in the business district of the capital for the first time." boomed a man in his 30's, wearing a casual military outfit. He glanced at Ace who was dazed and wearing a black and blue Tron suit that was equipped with armor the color of lead that fit snuggly on his well-muscled body whose reflexes we're trained to the max. The man who looked like a commander was looking at the clothes Ace had on him through the carriage doors window with some mild interest especially the armor and style of it. "carry on Henderson, to the dukes mansion even though there is no hurry I still need to turn in my summary of the war at a reasonable time." "aye General Jamison, this one has heard your order." with that said the officer Henderson glanced at the dazed Ace with disdain, and with that look Ace finally snapped out of his stupor, he was confused at why the Officer gave him that look. Indifferent to the officers disdain, Ace then asked the Commander the name of the kingdom and capital he was currently in but before he finished the commander laughingly said "your one interesting young man, well, in any case, the capitol you reside in is named Lillium and as of today this empire Le Grande is now the ruler of the whole continent of the Setting Sun! Long live the king!!!" the onlookers also shouted looking at the General in reverence and the guards were saluting to the distant gigantic castle in the distance. "hahaha, but kid it's a bit too early for someone of your age to be that forgetful, Henderson!!" "yes sir, long live the king!!, Hyah!!" and with that, the carriage sped off with the general laughing jovially inside. And with that, the market resumed its usual noise and traffic but the now distressed Ace was thinking. "there must be a better alternate universe you could have gone anywhere even if there were aliens. I don't want to be stuck in the medieval ages." then with a start, he looked around and groaned because there was no sight of his equipment anywhere, with a groan. "I'm never getting back to my dimension." and with that said he then decided to look at the market place, walking aimlessly stall to stall when he casually peeked into a medical store and was horrified with what they were prescribing a young child that was ill.
