chapter 4

Looking at my watch it was 9:00 am, 'one hour left.' I thought to myself as I looked once more at the scene in front of me, after a moment of gawking I needed to know where I had brought myself.

Closing my eyes and taking a breath, I entered my mind space in which I could see a big map sprawled across my mind, it had 5 continents positioned cardinally and serval islands on which all lacked detail. On the northern continent at the very back was a blue dot, that is me and this is another one of the passives granted by space. I am able to create a map of what I have seen, be it an actual map or and itself, although to make it more accurate I need to be there physically, and I need to know that space exists.

I have only been to juniper but nowhere else in utopia, I nothing to do in those places anyway, so, on one of her visits Emily gave me a full-scale map of utopia as a thank you for helping her and her dad. After a while I opened my eyes and exhaled 'so I am in the north, the hot heads rule here too, I would like to roam around but I'm still pissed, I may do something dumb.' Exploring the land of the first ever house does sound and is fun, but I may be late and make a 'mistake'.

Closing my eyes once more, I said "might as well just teleport there, the simpler version though.". Something else we space users can obviously do is teleportation but that's complex and I can do it, but it causes migraines sometimes and I don't feel like doing something complex, so I will do the simpler version.

What I do Is walk through space, it's different but similar to teleportation. How I do it is that I treat a designated area as a door, that area could be Infront of me, to my left or right, it can be anywhere, even up or down. After doing that I have to choose what's on the other side of the 'door' I just made, that can also be anywhere but with the restriction of that location being in the same spatial field as me and I know of the exact location.

I'll also explain the first requirement. Think of space as your house, in that house of yours you can enter any room at will, same thing with locations in the same spatial field, or 'home', I can enter and leave at will since all doors are open. Now imagine you have neighbors, their house is their spatial field, you can't just easily access it as you do in your own, since it isn't yours. That very concept is the limitation of this method, I can't enter any location that isn't in my current field, I can see it and know where it is but just can't go there using this method. Teleportation ignores everything though, different spatial field? No problem I can still access it, although as long as it isn't sealed.

Forming the door in 3 seconds, I opened my eyes and walked forward entering juniper's capital forming ripples in space as I walked through the door. Another thing, when the door is formed there are no signs that it has formed, everything looks the same until you walk through it doing that shows someone else where it is/was as doing that cause ripples to form in space in both locations.

Juniper's capital is a very lively place with cars endlessly moving and people walking everywhere, normally, I am not a fan of noise, but I'll handle this once. I walked into the entrance of my favorite café and the only one I know in juniper 'The kog'. It's a very decent place to relax, with one side being clear glass to let you see the activity of the city, its positioning is also quite nice letting the sun rays come in and grace you ass you have coffee, the glass is also special, it regulates the amount of sunlight coming in and reduces uv rays to almost nonexistent.

Lowering my head as I enter the kog, the familiar sound of its doorbell rang in my ears. Raising my head looking toward my usual seat in the corner at the window, I casually walked there and took my seat. Immediately I sat, a waitress came up and kindly asked "the usual Mono?", with a simple nod and smile from me she went on her marry way to bring my order. Even though I am a usual here I make zero effort for interactions, but the people here are friendly and respect that and since I order the same thing on all my visits. It took a really short time to bring my order which was just a coffee and orange juice, with a "Thank you" me she nodded and left. I checked my watch once more it 9:01 am.

'I'll leave for Ignatius at nine thirty, so twenty-nine minutes left. Guess I'm sleeping those off' setting an alarm for 9:30, I finished my drinks and asked the waitress if I could take a nap here for some time and she graciously agreed, since I contributed to this place more than once she was apparently thankful for it and let me do as I please here.

I am one of the kog's suppliers and shareholders, I mainly get my money from working as the main assistant for Flake which pays a lot and from other side hustles, I own a small cutlery firm that makes very fine and unique cutlery and the kog get's their cutlery from me, and since the cutlery is unique the demand is high, but production is expensive which grants the kog more customers, that's why this table is reserved for only me. The staff don't know all the details, but the owner told them of me, so they know who I am.

I slowly crossed my arms and put my head down and slept 'hopefully I wake up not pissed.'
