Adventure Time: Shadow Elemental(Ownership has been handed over)

I knew that day felt weird but I ignored it and I died, but I never imagined I would be thrown into the world of Adventure Time almost 800 years before the events of the show as a shadow, a shadow will some neat tricks. Now that I'm here guess I should adventure. [|------|] This will be kingdom building and slice of life story for almost all the time before the events of the show, there will be action whenever I can make up a scenario that makes some inkling of sense. There will be time skips alot as I doubt you guys want me to write 700 years worth of content, and I'm incapable of coming up with enough content for that anyway. I aint creative enough for that Very fast paced romance too, not good at writing sappy stuff and just want to get it out of the way, oh and one more thing- NO HAREM. I hate harem with an undying passion, don't even ask for it. [Note: The ownership of this fanfic has been handed over to a friend of mine, who is currently rewriting it. So look out for that]

I awaken once more, my eyes fluttering open to reveal a scene that I dont find pleasing.

I find myself in a desolate and dilapidated building, the remnants of what was probably a city, from a hole in the wall I can see an abundance of vegetation with destroyed buildings scattered around.

Nature has taken over in the absence of whatever roamed here before, with vegetation sprouting amidst the ruins. It's a stark contrast to the wreckage, allowing me to conclude whatever caused this happen a long time ago. I take a moment to collect myself and assess my own situation.

Examining my body, I am met with a disheartening discovery. Instead of a solid form, I am nothing more than a shadow, a mere silhouette of a child etched upon the wall. Frustration wells up within me, and I can't help but release an exasperated shout into the desolate surroundings.

"Oh thank god I can still talk" I say with a breath to relief realizing I can still talk.

Standing up, still attached to the wall, As I attempt to move away from the wall, a strange resistance stops me in my tracks. It feels as though I am walking into a solid brick wall, despite the lack of any physical barrier. 

I decide to keep trying and suddenly I notice black flame seeping from the wall where my shadow body is connected. It flickers slowly, causing an overwhelming sense of exhaustion to wash over me. I conclude I can manifest in the 3rd dimension but not at the moment.

"Great, just great," I groan, frustrated by the limitations imposed on me. Not only am I trapped as a shadow, but now I am also reduced to the size of a young child. The realization sinks in, and I let out another sigh of exasperation.

"Okay, this is fine," I assure myself, trying to maintain a semblance of optimism. I need to figure out where I am, I think I have an idea but exploring will cement whether or not I am where I think I am.

I attempt to walk along the wall, and I'm relieved to discover that I can indeed move in this single dimension.

"So, I can only move on a single plane?" I ponder, placing my hand on my chin. "But maybe I can also move vertically along the walls?" I mutter to myself, curious to see what I can achieve. I attempt to move straight up, and to my surprise, my legs elongate until my head touches the ceiling.

"Holy shit!" I exclaim, startled by the sudden change. However, I quickly realize that this stretching drains my energy, so I hastily retract my elongated limbs and return to my normal size. I take a few moments to recover, allowing my fatigue to dissipate before I decide to try something else.

Extending my hand, I watch as it stretches out until it reaches the roof above me. A grin spreads across my face as I attempt to grab onto something with my elongated arm.

To my delight, I manage to grip a crack in the wall, and I then proceed to shorten my arm, pulling myself up until I am hanging from the crack. Suspended in the air, I take a moment to appreciate this newfound ability.

"So, I am affected by gravity," I muse, contemplating the implications of this discovery. I stretch my leg until it touches the ground and release my grip, allowing myself to drop back down.

"This is great, but now can I morph my physique in more inhumane forms?" I ponder holding out my hand and attempting to change it, I close my fingers together and focus on trying to remove the gabs separating them and eventually I completely fuse my fingers together.

I try to turn them into a weapon and eventually manage to elongate them and sharpen them, I dont know how but I can tell how thick they are even when I dont have a third dimension.

It might be how thick they will be when I manifest in the 3rd dimension, I really dont know. I return my fingers to normal and finally decide to leave this building.

I have been here for a day and can confirm that this is indeed Adventure Time, sometime after the mushroom war. Mostly from the zombies walking around.

Adventure time Oozers are very unique after all, or maybe I am just reaching and guessed wrong, who knows for sure.

Although I can tell that I am distant from the actual events of the show, I'm unsure of the exact timeframe.

I can conclude I am pretty far after the war as everything is extremely vibrant, in the earlier years before canon everything was desaturated, the grass, trees the sky even rocks and there was a lack of animals, but from what I can see its the opposite showings its been some time.

I estimate its been 200-250 years since the mushroom war which is ok I guess.

I have also figured some stuff out, I can only exist in the dark or shadows, I tried moving onto a wall with no shadows and I felt an extreme searing pain, I have also realized that I'm immune to fall damage.

It happened when my hand slipped while attempting to descend from the building I woke up in. This unexpected perk certainly comes in handy. I've also discovered that I possess the ability to move within existing shadows.

This skill enables me to traverse the ground without being noticed, although I lose the ability to move upwards. This all means that I won't become trapped if there happens to be a gap between walls.

I have been using the shadows of trees to move around and its already getting quite boring.

Should I simply wander aimlessly, waiting for interesting characters to cross my path and interact with them? Considering it has been at least two century since the mushroom war.

Simon is far north, already insane and freezing over that part of OOO. Marceline, on the other hand, is most probably already a vampire and freely roams around. As for Princess Bubblegum, she is most probably still a child and hasn't started her kingdom.

The reason I think so is because from the lack of buildings I can tell its been at least 3 or 4 centuries since the mushroom war happened, there is also a lack of Oozers, one one or two every couple of miles.

But I still want to go find PB, as I stated she is most probably about to create her family and get the idea of starting a kingdom, and I want to be there when all that happens.

Having someone to talk to for potentially hundreds of years would be a welcome relief from the overwhelming loneliness I am currently experiencing.

It has only been a day, and I now understand why Princess Bubblegum created people to interact with.
