Disaster

"Finally!" A man looked happily at what he had managed to create by the things that he had salvaged from the platforms that were out of work.

It had been so many years, but finally, he was going to go home. He poured all his energy onto the thing in front of him and looked towards the sky with a hopeful look.

However, the look disappeared from his face as he noticed nothing. 

"No… that can't be! It's working. So why is it not—"

Suddenly, he noticed something else happening a few dozen kilometers away. The thing he was trying to do had resulted in something he could not expect at all.

After all, how was he supposed to know that there was a concealed portal to another universe so close to him?

A figure clad in dripping black smoke moved around a void of his own creation. He paced back and forth, thinking of what exactly he could do in this disaster he had caused.
