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.

Sinister plot of school bullies.

As he was spacing out thinking, a book flew at his face. It was Daniel, the leader of the "community of those rich people." He bullied everyone who interested him. Max, a weak-looking nerd with glasses, was his favorite target.

For Daniel and his gang, Max was a long-lasting punching bag. After being hit by the book, Max collapsed to the ground, and no one stood up for him, fearing they'd be next. Cedric helped him up.

"Hey nerd, did you finish my homework? And Why are you chit-chatting? You're disturbing my sleep," Daniel said.

"Well, here, I finished everything yesterday," Max replied.

"Oh... thanks, good boy."

As they spoke, all the students rushed to their seats. The class teacher, Michael Morris, a 42-year-old with a big belly and balding crown, entered the class. He knew about the bullying but didn't pay much attention. There was a rumor that he got his job through connections and bribery. After taking attendance, the class started.

During lunch time, Daniel asked, "Hey nerd, go and buy some lunch. We texted your phone."

"Alright, but the money...?"

"What money?"

"Well, I don't have money to buy lunch, so..."

"Oh, I forgot he's a poor bastard. Hey guys, somebody give this beggar some money."

"Well... dany what if that bastard is lying?"

"If he lies, he dies."

"Want to check?"

"Hehehe... let's check."

"Wait... don't..."

Then a punch landed in his stomach. 

one of them noticed the money in his pocket

"Well, well, well... what do we have here? Daniel, did you see this?"

"So you lied to me, huh?"

Saying this, Daniel grabbed Max's hair and punched him in the face. Blood started to spill from his nose, and he collapsed on the floor, losing consciousness.

When he woke up, he was in the nurse's office.

"Did I faint after getting that hit"

It was almost evening, and classes had ended. As he got up to leave the school, he noticed Daniel and his gang waiting for him with grins on their faces.

"Yo... look who showed up. Did you have a nice rest, Mr. Nerd?"

"You've got the nerve to lie. Well..., since you paid for the lunch and other expenses, I'll forgive you."

After hearing this, Max checked his shirt for money, but it was gone.

"No... my money. Give that back, or else..."

"Or else what? Are you going to cry to your mama? Look, guys, baby's gonna cry."

"Hahahaha..."

"Please, don't do this to me... Daniel, please, that's... my..."

"Sigh... alright, since we're friends and in the same class, we should help each other, right guys?"

"Yeah... sure. Max is our precious punching bag... I mean brother. We should help each other."

"Since everyone agrees, let's do this. Max, let's play a game.

A sinister smile started to appear on their faces.
