Dimensional Travel: The Ageless Wanderer

Max Draven, a high school student, was tormented by his bully, Dany, the son of the city's top businessman, and his gang. The relentless bullying pushed Max to the brink of suicide, but he lacked the courage to follow through and didn’t want to worry his parents. One day, during another round of torment, Max accidentally fell from the roof of the school building. Miraculously, he survived but slipped into a coma. In the darkness of his subconscious, Max found himself in a vast, lightless space. Confused, he heard a voice from behind him: "This is inside your subconscious mind." Turning around, he saw a shadow of an old man with long hair and beard, his eyes glowing light blue and exuding a dominating presence. "Who are you?" Max asked. "I’m you, and you are me. We are one. Live with no regrets," the old man replied. As Max stared in confusion, his head began to hurt again. After four long months, Max finally woke up. His eyes glowed a light blue. As he began to wonder where he was, a sharp pain surged through his head. The nurse walked in and, seeing him in agony, called for the doctor in a panic. The doctor rushed in and administered an injection, slowly easing Max’s pain and lulling him into a deep slumber. After some time he woke up to see his mother by his side sleeping from exhaustion. "I'm back. Is this really true? What day is today?" he murmured. "June 6th, 2024. It’s only been four months then." With a perplexed look, Max pondered what was real and what was a dream. He knew that this was real; he had returned after what felt like 400 years of hell. He was glad. "Ha…" he sighed in relief. Thoughts of his bullies filled his mind, and his eyes glowed with a deadly rage and killing intent. "Every one of you will pay for what you did. I’ll make sure you do." During his coma, Max's consciousness had accidentally traveled to a world full of war and conflict, inhabited by cultivators and sects. He had endured 400 years of strife and hardship there, but in the real world, only four months had passed. Now, armed with the knowledge and strength from his otherworldly experience, Max was determined to seek vengeance on those who had tormented him. The bullies who had pushed him to the edge would soon face the consequences of their actions.

Dark Alley, Bright Justice

As they looked up, they saw a ghost-like shadow sitting on a balcony railing, its bright blue eyes staring right at them. The sight terrified them.

"W-who are you?" the fat guy stammered.

"Are you sure you want to know?" the figure replied. Then, he jumped from the balcony and landed smoothly.

Now they could see clearly. Before them stood a guy wearing a dark blue hoodie and pants, black and white sneakers, and a mask covering his face. When Max had gone shopping for clothes, he liked this style and didn't want to reveal his identity, so he bought a mask as well.

"Brat, be on your way or don't blame us," a guy with a knife threatened.

"Well... how about I give you an option? You go to the police station and confess to all the crimes you've committed," Max said.

"It seems he's asking for it. Let's show him how the world works around here," the fat guy said, and both rushed to beat him.

Max moved slightly, evading the knife, and caught the second guy's fist effortlessly. Both attackers were shocked. The guy with the knife tried to attack again. Max punched the fat guy in the gut, dodged the knife, and kicked the knife-wielder in the face. The guy flew back, smashed into the wall, and lost consciousness. The fat guy, writhing in pain, also collapsed, unconscious.

Max walked over to the school kid. "Hey, are you alright?" he asked.

Seeing all of this, the kid didn't know whether to believe it or not. "Hello?" Max said, seeing no reaction.

"Uh, yes, thank you. I'm alright," the kid finally responded still in pain.

Seeing that the kid was okay, Max walked over to the unconscious attackers. He lifted them one by one, taking their money, chains, and a pocket knife. He tied them to a pole and took some pictures. Then he turned to the school kid and said, "Go to the hospital and get yourself treated." He handed the kid some money and walked away.

At the police station:

"Hello, this is 911. How can I help you?" a lady officer said.

"Um... there are two guys who tried to extort some money, and I beat them up and tied them to a pole. They're in West Street. You can take them; they have committed many bad deeds. The proof is on their mobile phones. You can find them at your police station entrance. See ya," the caller said, then hung up.

"Hey, wait..." the lady officer said.

Max put that phone in a brown bag and put it in front of the police station entrance before leaving.

Max slipped into an empty alley and quickly changed out of his disguise, stashing the dark clothes and mask into his storage. He donned his regular attire—jeans and a t-shirt—blending back into the crowd as he made his way home.
