[ Location: The Upside Down - Creel House Porch ]
[ Date: November 1st, 1985 - Time: Frozen ]
I slumped on the rotting steps of the Creel House, red lightning flickering out like dying embers.
The storm had passed.
The sky hung bruised—a swirling violet that mirrored the aura pulsing from my hands.
'I won,' I thought, leaning against a pillar regenerating under my will. 'I own a dimension.'
The System confirmed it
[ Title: Ruler of the Echo Dimension ]
[ Perk: Time Dilation Control ]
I grinned. "heh "
My body screamed for rest.
Aether reserves were dry but Hawkins waited with enemies in the shadows, and the Abyss Mark on my hand itched—Cthulhu's unblinking eye on me.
'I need to get stronger and I've got a timeless dimension to train in.'
I stood. "System. Time Dilation settings."
[ Setting: 1 Hour Real Time = 1 Month Upside Down Time. ]
I formed the Tiger Seal.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu."
POOF.
A clone materialized—fresh, clean, annoyed.
"Let me guess," he sighed. "High school while you play king?"
"Yep and" I clapped his shoulder. "Tell Mom her meatloaf's the best."
"I hate you," the Clone muttered.
I ripped a portal open—just human-sized.
He stepped into my bedroom.
Gone.
Alone now, I cracked my knuckles at the vine-choked wasteland. "Time to clean this up."
[ Montage: The Grind ]
[ Location: The Upside Down ]
[ Subjective Time: 4 Months Later ]
The Creel House gleamed: polished mahogany floors, crystal windows, Demobat-leather sofa. Reality Warping and Atomic Rearrangement at work.
"Hive Mind. Attendance."
SCREEECH.
A thousand Demodogs sat like obedient hounds outside.
Good boys.
I turned to the Vines. "Passive Mode. You're the wall now, So eat anything from the Abyss." They hissed, thickening into an impenetrable barrier.
Real work
[ Portal Manipulation Theory ].
Armies beat dogs.
I needed my Basilisk from Earth-991. Precision gate required.
Weeks of failures: vacuum (near-space suck), shrimp-world (bizarre), then Hogwarts.
[ Portal Manipulation: Level 5 → 8 → 10 (MAX). ]
I forged my energy pool too—50G Gravity Well crushing me while Aether cycled through muscles to keep them from liquefying.
Mana Potions chugged, Mind Flayer jerky devoured, meditation diamond-hardening my mind.
[ Aether Pool: 10,000 → 20,000. ]
"Damn," I breathed, levitating in the living room. "But I am still far from being strongest in the chat group and not even close to kill any being from abyss!"
[ Location: Hawkins High School - History Class ][ Date: March 1986 - Real World ]
(Perspective: The Clone)
"Mr. Frostwell?"
I jolted.
Mr. Mundy glared.
"With us?"
"Yeah. Industrial Revolution. Uh, factories and stuff."
Giggles rippled through the class.
'He's out there fighting cosmic horrors. I'm stuck with this.'
At lockers after class: Max leaned in, new jacket sharp. "You look wrecked."
"Always." I forced a smile. "Billy good?"
"Too good. Cooks dinner. Asks about my day and creeps me out."
"Roll with it," I said. "It's called redemption or brain damage. Either works."
El showed up, books piled high. "Vivan. Your Math's home work."
I grabbed them. " Thanks. I owe you one."
She smirked. "Arrogant."
"Confident," I corrected.
They were safe.
[ Location: The Upside Down ][ Subjective Time: 1 Year Later (Total) ]
I stood at the dimension's edge.
The Wall thinned here. Old Ones still wheezed beyond.
"Not today, ugly," I whispered.
I raised my hand.
'Portal Manipulation: Level 10 (MAX).'
I reinforced the barrier and wove Aether into the fabric of space, welding the cracks shut.
I turned back to my kingdom.
The Creel fortress, Demodog guards, vine sensors.

"I'm ready," I said.
I looked at the empty spot in the living room I had prepared.
A massive water tank I'd transmuted from stone.
"Time to go get my snake."
I focused.
I visualized the Chamber of Secret and visualized the bond with the Basilisk.
'Open.'
I slashed the air.
A rift opened.
Not red but Green.
I could smell the damp stone of Hogwarts on the other side.
"Come to me," I hissed in Parseltongue.
