Quantum Crossroads: Journeys through Infinite Dimensions

Max Dekker, a typical 21-year-old game coder at Fujima Corp, led a mundane life filled with a 10-hour job, no friends, and minimal social interactions—an introvert immersed in the world of gaming. While Max's mind operated at a leisurely pace in reality, he transformed into a mastermind when it came to gaming. One fateful late night, as Max diligently coded alone in his office, his computer screen unexpectedly displayed the status window of a gaming character. "What is 'Karma'? I haven't added something like that to the status screen. And what is 'World Jump Time'?" Max inquired, bewildered. [Multiverse Awaits You: Have a Safe Trip.] Suddenly, a screen materialized before him, and Max vanished from his office. "This? Why are there zombies here in this world ?" [Universal Jump Completed] "Damn! This world is overrun by AI ? I have to escape, as soon as possible." [Paradox Has Been Found] "What the Fuck is wrong with this world? Why are there only women here?"

Chapter-1

On a cold night of Winter...

Dark clouds are covering the sky and snow is falling down with no signs of stopping any time soon.

Everyone is resting inside their homes, except one man.

Fujima Coding Corp. Pvt. Ltds.

Although it's past working hours, One light is still on inside the building.

On the thirteenth floor....

*Click-click-click*

A young man is sitting inside his cubical and typing something rapidly on his keyboard.

Blue eyes, Black hairs, White skin tone, 6'2 in height, skinny body build and a decent face.

This guy is Max Dekker, An orphan since his birth, his intelligence level is medium, No relationship status till today, Age twenty-one and still a virgin.

Max works as a coder and graphics designer in this company that pays him five thousand dollars per month and some extra money for overtime. Max is happy with his life and doesn't want anything else from life.

*Click-click-click*

"The welcome screen's design is finished, I should get to the status window format now but first, I will have a hot coffee." Max spoke as he slowly stood up from his chair and started walking towards the coffee machine that was in the hallway.

"Fuck... My legs are numb from sitting there, It's like I have been sitting for so many years." Max cursed as he felt the strange numbness in his legs but he ignored it and continued to walk towards the Coffee machine.

After reaching in front of the coffee machine, Max pressed the red button and a paper cup suddenly dropped out of the coffee machine.

*Tap*

After this, Max pressed the blue button and coffee started pouring into the paper cup.

"Hmmm~ Hmmm~ Hmmm~" Max started humming slowly as he looked at the dark hallway in front of him with a neutral expression.

'I have to perform good on this project or I can loose my seat in the team. Everybody is gone from the office except me because, I don't have someone to go back to... Except a small room, inside a big building.

My team has recieved this gaming project that we have to complete until the end of this month, it's a complicated MMORPG game, that will go live next month and only the basic things are left to be done. Like, welcome graphic design and character status screen.' Max thought as he took his coffee out of the machine and took a little sip out of it.

*Sip*

"Tastes like shit, but can't do anything about it now. This is all, I have for now." Max spoke as he walked back into his cubical and sat back down in his seat.

"Hmm... Let's see, where was I ? Yes, The status screen..." Max spoke as he placed the coffee cup aside and started typing once again.

*Ring*

Suddenly, Max's phone rang up...

Max picked up his phone and checked the notification... It was a news headline.

[A strong tornado is heading towards south. It will hit the Southern District in 30 minutes: Latest News.]

"A tornado huh...? Well, let's see if it can do anything to this building, because I am not going to leave this motherfucking building until I complete this shit." Max spoke as he took a sip of his coffee and started typing on his keyboard once again.

*Click-click-click*

30 minutes passed and strong winds started hitting the office windows...

*Thud*

The Glasses started vibrating but Max was too engaged in his work to notice the surrounding sounds.

*Click*

"I am done. Time to leave, baby." Max spoke as he stood up from his chair and picked up his coat.

*THUD-THUD-THUD-THUD-THUD*

Suddenly loud sounds started coming from outside the building, Max immediately turned around and walked upto a window.

He then noticed that, the news headlines were true and a real big tornado is outside the building.

"Fuck this... Looks like, I will have to stay here after all." Max spoke as he went back to his cubical and started scrolling through his social media.

Max was an introvert, that's why he didn't have too much interest in social media.

"Look at that... This motherfucker is enjoying the night with his friends after dumping all of his work over my back." Max spoke as he looked at a photo of his co-worker named 'Alex'.

Alex was an extrovert person and he always used max to do his work in exchange for some extra cash.

*Click*

After getting bored with his phone, Max clicked the power button and placed it aside.

"I am getting bored... Fuck, i should've listened to the news. I would've been inside my blanket by now, if only I would've-" Before Max could've completed his sentence, he was abruptly interrupted by his computer.

*Ting*

His computer, that he switched off just a minute ago, Started working again without him pressing any buttons.

"Hmm...? I didn't pressed the power button..." Max spoke with a confused expression.

Suddenly the screen in front of him turned Red.

"Hmm...? What is this ? Some kind of virus ?" Max wondered as he immediately pressed the power button of his CPU and tried to turn the computer off but it didn't seemed to work.

*Click*

*Click*

*Click*

"What the fuck is wrong with you now ?" Max spoke as he started hitting the CPU with his hand.

*Thud-Thud*

Suddenly something appeared over the screen...

Max looked at the screen and noticed that the screen is showing him the same Game's Status Screen, that he completed designing before shutting it down.

[Name: ???]

[Class: ???]

[Level: ???]

[Mana: ???]

[Titles: ???]

[Skills: ???]

"Hmm...? Why are you showing me this you idiot ?" Max spoke with a confused expression.

'Everyone has so much advanced computers in the office and I am stuck with this piece of shit.

I have already complaint about this to my boss so many times, but he never did something about it...' Max thought as he stood up from his seat and took the power cord of his CPU out of the electric outlet.

*Swish*

The screen turned off immediately and the CPU stopped working.

"I don't want to deal with this shit anymore... I have to find a better company to work for." Max spoke as he placed his head over his table and closed his eyes in order to sleep.

Five minutes passed without any problem, but Five minutes later... The screen turned on once again.
