107 - Steven

"Is this magic usable in the real world?" The Ancient One asked Wong curiously as she looked at the magic he was demonstrating for her in Minecraft.

Wong was a little embarrassed hearing her question, but he was still quite excited.

"So far we haven't been able to make an application of this in the real world, but considering the concepts of magic in this game, and the way that Notch used earth manipulation in those videos that appeared, I believe that this really is possible, so much so that I have already started to try to develop a way to experience this, but it's not really set in stone yet, as our knowledge of this magic is still very slim considering the amount of things we haven't figured out yet." Wong respectfully explained. "Of course, that's why I decided to call Master here, as her knowledge of magic is much deeper than mine, maybe it will speed up our research."

Hearing that, the Ancient One raised an eyebrow with a bit of surprise. Since Mojang appeared in the world, she is getting surprised more and more often, as for some reason she couldn't see the future of this company, nor calculate what this company could cause of changes in the world for the future.

On the one hand this was quite worrying, but on the other hand she was feeling more and more interested in it.

"Besides you, how many other disciples are studying this magic?" She asked.

Wong thought for a while but soon came up with an exact number. "Currently there are 37 disciples of Kamar Taj studying this magic, including some elders who became interested after I told them about the development and the possibilities it could bring to our study."

The Ancient One nodded her head and started walking through the school of magic they had done while thinking about something.

Wong didn't interrupt her thought and just followed silently.

After a complete tour of the wizarding school, another question arose.

"I counted 72 people studying this magic, do you know anything about them?" She asked.

Wong shook his head. "Actually the total number of students is 388, but most are not online at that time. I have little information about them, since the identity of players in Minecraft is secret, I couldn't find out anything very important about most of them, just some students caught my attention." He said while opening his friends list and showing the name of some players, as well as their Minecraft character profile picture.

"These three players got me interested, two of them are apparently friends and have some very developed concepts of magic, something that's hard to believe comes from just one regular person, so I talked to them and found out that they're both fanatical RPG players , a very common style of play among young people, where they use their imagination to invent a fictional world and create stories and adventures around it. Apparently the two players control characters who are wizards in the style they call "MinMax", something who apparently studies the game as much as possible to be able to use magic most efficiently without breaking the rules." Wong patiently explained.

Hearing his explanation, Ancient One was quite surprised, with that concept they would be very promising students of Kamar Taj, probably able to become Grandmasters in a short time. "They must be people quite adored in this game called RPG." She said with a smile.

Wong nodded in agreement, not knowing how hated "MinMax" players were in the tabletop RPG community.

"And the last student? What made him interesting?" She asked curiously.

"This last student has the nickname [Strange], and he is very similar to his nickname. Since initially he had no interest in magic, always bragging about how rich he was, or things like that, but when a One of the students defeated him in a PVP duel by betting a car using magic, Strange became quite enraged and began to study magic with great dedication, demonstrating a great talent for it. Incredibly many of the group's discoveries came from him, even discovering more than some Grand Masters of Kamar Taj." Wong explained with a little embarrassment.

Hearing that player's nickname, the Ancient One's eyes visibly shrank, startling Wong into thinking he had said something wrong. When she said there was something to do urgently and disconnected, he was even more worried that he had said something bad.

But she didn't even think about it and logged out of the game without a second thought.

Holding the eye of Agamoto around her neck, the necklace that held the gem of time, the Ancient One began to use her magic to try to read the future again, but this time focusing on Steven Strange, her disciple who, according to destiny, was supposed to assume the mantle of Sorcerer Supreme in a few years.

Seeing the result of that, her heart fluttered.

"It's different…" She whispered. "His future has changed... since he came into contact with Minecraft the timeline he was supposed to develop in has changed..."

Looking more closely, she noticed that the future was more confusing than before, but this time she didn't give up and used a lot of magic to try to force to see Steven's future.

With a lot of effort, the Time Gem only managed to glimpse small parts of Steven's future, but what she saw made her jaw, a woman of more than 400 years old, drop in amazement.

Steven was sitting in Sorcerer Supreme's chair, just as she could see earlier, still wearing the flying cape he would receive in the future, as well as the Eye of Agamoto around his neck, but what shocked her was that he wasn't alone.

In front of him was another Steven Stranger with a sheet of paper while throwing some dice on the table, in front of that Steven was another Steven, but looking very pale and with a third eye open on his forehead, looking at Steven in the Sorcerer chair Supreme angrily as he ripped a sheet of paper resembling Steven's in front of him, and next to them there was even a female version of Steven laughing at them while kissing a pair of colored dice in her hand.

Other people might think that these Stevens were brothers or something, but with her knowledge, the Ancient One knew that these people were not the Steven she knew, but other versions of him from other Multiverses!

What made it all even more shocking is that in the corner of the room there was a square-looking Steven like Minecraft who was caressing a small egg very carefully.

If just the Stevens from other Multiverses gathered together playing a game she had never seen in her life was enough for the Ancient One to be shocked, seeing a Minecraft version of them made a big question mark pop up in her head.

WTF????????????
