A/n: Skip this chapter if you want, this was an April fool's chapter
It was black. Everything was black, with nothing surrounding me. I found myself standing? No, it wasn't quite standing because there was no ground. Nothing.
I guess the word could be... floating? Maybe?
Yeah, I wasn't sure.
I tried to move myself, to propel myself, but my struggles were in vain for all around me was a vacuum?
'Wait... How am I alive?'
Humans couldn't breathe in a vacuum!
'Ah fuck, is this one of those transmigration serieses—or whatever the plural form is—I see in animes or Webnovels?'
Would a god appear in front of me?
"Hey you. Yes you right there, I know you're a God who's watching me!"
...Is what I tried to say but no voice escaped my lips, after all sound needed particles to travel through and this was a vacuum.
'Hmmm, I'm bored! The least God could have done was let me catch up to Shadow Slave!'
And just as I thought that something resembling a book came in front of me.
'Oh? That's interesting... Wait, is this a dream?'
Well, if it was then it was a dream, but then why the hell was I seeing a single bubble in front of me? I was never capable of being able to do this because my imagination lacked the forming images part thingy.
'Uh, is the theory of the multiverse having different universes like bubbles true? I don't quite remember the name but if it was the case either that man's imagination was just built different—no, the usual procedures involved some proof, so how the hell did he manage to calculate this!'
I tried to turn my body around but barely managed to turn into a better angle. In front of me I could see a few more bubbles and I could somehow tell which bubble was which universe.
Though, interestingly enough, most animes and stuff with mana were just a part of a single one with only a few standing out here and there.
'Do those people lack creativity or something—?'
There was no point to the question, I already knew the truth.
Then came the ones with ki and stuff like that which I simply shrugged it off until I saw the one I was looking for.
Wait no this wasn't it! This was one piece.
'Wait... Pause! What the hell, the knowledge of knowing what the one piece is too much to bear and I've not even watched one piece (enough) to care.'
...
'The flex perms sound tempting, fuck it I will understand the world...'
...
...
[It was the friends you made along the way!]
Such was the answer I got... To legally show it! I couldn't just let anyone else see it until I make a post on different socials so I can eventually flex on noobs!
... And make money through bets I guess.
Then came the world I was actually looking for... Shadow Slave.
'How cool would it be if I...'
I moved my hand dramatically, reaching for the globe—yep, this one was a multiverse kind of thing because of its lore—and then jerking it away, I let a fragment break apart.
[Re Route]
Then, I broke off that fragment I already broke.
[The World They Left Behind]
Then, I repeated the process again—from Shadow Slave's bubble—creating a lot more bubbles, and then I watched.
I watched as the bubbles did their job, and then they all merged. merged into a globe so big that...
Boom.
A loud voice reverberated across the small existence.
Then came the silence.
[Is This Love?]
The multiverse of this fanfic was made.
'What else can I do?' I pondered on the question for a bit until....
'Bully Sunny because that formula does well!'
This was a beautiful idea if I did say so myself. Definitely no bias. Nope, definitely not.
And that was how I ended up bullying a sixteen year old kid...
"Hey! I know how this sounds but in my defence I am sixteen at this current moment specifically!" I spoke to no one in particular, manipulating the surroundings so I could at least hear my own voice.
I was going insane and I knew it, but still this was fun!
"Aha, this is perfect! I will make him eat... What was it called again? Yeah, the bat coffee!"
And that's what I did as I watched him spit it out like a mechanical process until a whole year passed. I was now bored once again.
There was nothing for me here apart from, well just me. I was bored. So very bored.
'Ugh...'
'I wonder if this works...'
I thought as I tried to summon a certain Fool...
The Fool.
Klein Moriarty.
"Would be really funny if I got the name wrong..."
And there he was! He succeeded in summoning The Fool.
"Yo, it is I, Back, the god of Existence. Bow before me."
"Nice try asshole, I'm just as good as bullshitting situations as you." Klein replied as he started to use the powers of this place.
"Oh... Welp, begone."
And just like that he was there, only existing as a side mention for view purposes. Yep, I liked to believe that my commentaries or whatever this was was for a YouTube video.
Definitely.
"Now that that option is out of the box, how do I kill time." I groaned in pain.
I think I can use the usual formula again to torture Sunny but differently?
I recalled having a random 8th grade syndrome idea for the people in Sunny's class so I could test it anyways.
And that's what I did.
I went to Sunny's school on a random Sunny day to suddenly make the characters act edgy(?) as fuck.
'Yeah I have no clue.'
Well it would be what it would be.

It was just another Sunny day for Sunny when it happened. He was simply entering the classroom and the first thing he saw was...
"I am Steve." Steve said as he swung a pickaxe side to side, si—side to side, hoping to find some diamonds to-night night night. Diamonds tonight.
His head went up. He heard a sound as he turned around and looked up. Total shock filled his body.
"Oh no it's you again I can never forget those eyes eyes eyes,
Eyes eyes eyes.
'Cause baby tonight the creepers are trying to steal our stuff again."
Just when he thought he was safe he heard Sunny hissing from right behind. Ri-right behind.
That's a nice life he had,
it was a real shame it had to end this time time time.
And as he was done with Steve he was stuck with half a heart.
"You're insulting Captain, just shut up man."
Beep, "three eternities later."
As Sunny turned around he noticed a man called Cid waving his sword around and... Kept removing his cape and putting it back on?
While having the cape or the slime suit out (because I lacked a better word) he acted like some kind of an eminence in shadow but without one he was acting like an NPC.
"I am Shadow, he who lurks in the darkness to hunt the darkness."
"I am just Cid, your side character A, please ignore me :DD"
For the record both of these were from the same person—Cid.
'Damnation, what the hell is happening in the class?' Sunny thought as he kept turning around seeing people act in some weird way.
Somewhere else a guy was spamming pretending to be a great mage acting all cool, high and mighty and alladat useless stuff.
Sunny sighed, but just as it escaped his lips, he suddenly had an urge to join in feeling a bit of fear of missing out.
"I am Sunless."
"The Lord of Shadows."
"The sole ruler of a citadel in GodGrave."
"And I'm the leader of the Shadow Clan."
'Wait, why am I saying this? This isn't me!' Sunny thought to himself, wondering about how this came to be.

I found myself back in this strange place, which I simply referred to as existence, and I turned to look at my creations until I saw some strange light from the "real" world, and just as that light appeared I saw the globe of Is This Love? Having just a bit of its part being copied. It was... A beautiful sight.
After all, this was the first time someone had been inspired by my work and a new one was being created with a few pages of it. It was... A beautiful moment.
A moment I longed for.
A moment that... I cared about for the first time.
And just as I thought about that, I saw a twelve year old me enter the world. A twelve year old me who was fascinated. A twelve year old me who was... Genuinely excited.
Who explored.
Who loved to think of the what ifs.
The boy turned to look around, his face visibly glowing, as he moved around to look from one side to the other doing whatever his heart pleased. It possessed the kind of childish innocence I had lost.
"I suppose I should let you enjoy this moment, I'll take my leave...."
"Goodbye."
And just like that, I faded away.
Author's Note: no clue what I wrote but I didn't want to miss the April fools, and what better time to post the chapter than when it's 2nd April for me (first for some people which is what makes this funny and unexpected)
The next chapter is a proper one lmfao
Oh right a thing I wanna announce, Back is officially a character in canon (because he is now a part of bee's fanfic
Lastly, I am sorry cap (for the song reference which just felt terrible)
