Chapter 1: I poked it once, and it flew away.
Parallel world, Blue Star
The room was so quiet that only my heartbeat could be heard.
Eighteen-year-old Hu Biao sat blankly in the chair, staring at the magnificent universe and starry sky in front of him, which looked like a holographic documentary. He was completely stunned.
Great news! I think I've awakened superpowers!!
Bad news, what the hell did I awaken?
If you don't work hard when you're young, you'll be chosen for your abilities after you die. I worked hard when I was young, so I'm capable even though I'm still alive!
But this ability is weird!
He felt as if he were in a top-of-the-line 4D panoramic cinema, but the screen displayed a 360-degree view of reality.
What lay before him was not a flat image, but a completely real, magnificent veil composed of billions of wisps of gas and dust, its colors so intense they exceeded the limits of his comprehension…
Dark purple, fiery red, and icy blue intertwine, flow, and give birth to new or dying stars.
The distant galaxies resembled swirling vortexes of scattered diamond powder, their cores so bright they were almost blinding.
He subconsciously raised his hand, his mind subtly shifting. The vast star map responded instantly…
He "stirred" a nebula with his hand, and the magnificent cosmic cloud swirled like real smoke, revealing a deeper darkness and distant galaxy clusters behind it.
Where my fingertips glide, there is a slightly cool touch, as if I have brushed against the thin film of time and space itself.
His hand paused in mid-air, then began to drag, as if manipulating a phone screen. The "hologram" in front of him expanded and shrank with his gestures...
"Huh, I recognize this place, it looks like the Milky Way!!"
As the scene before him expanded, a vast galaxy appeared before him. In his mind, he recalled documentaries about the Milky Way that he had watched before. Then, his mind became a little confused. After all, many galaxies looked very similar to him, so how could he be sure that this was the Milky Way?
"If only we could find Earth!"
A thought flashed through his mind, and the next moment, the star map in front of him spun rapidly, the galaxy in front of him expanded violently, the solar system became prominent, and finally, the beautiful blue planet that was "slowly" rotating was like a delicate basketball, suspended within his reach.
This time, he won't admit his mistake.
"Blue Star? Is it that intelligent?"
He reached out, wanting to catch the basketball, but suddenly a sense of unease arose in his heart...
At this moment, the subconscious seemed to lose its reason, howling wildly...
don't want!!
don't want! ! !
Do you fucking want to die?!
…………
The outstretched hand froze...
A few beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead!
He slowly retracted his hand a little, folding three fingers back, leaving only his thumb and forefinger. He then slowly separated them, as if magnifying the image on his phone screen. With his gesture, the "basketball" began to enlarge, slowly expanding before his eyes. This time, his subconscious didn't go crazy. The image, like a holographic picture, touched him and then passed through him.
As the image slowly zoomed in, the outlines of the continental plates became clear, and the ocean and clouds moved slowly before his eyes. He found his country, his city, and then that familiar neighborhood... Finally, his own home, the window of his bedroom, appeared before him like the observation port of a miniature model.
He "saw" it in.
The room layout was exactly the same: a desk, a computer, a bed... and sitting in the chair was a person...
The feeling was so eerie it was indescribable...
He saw "himself" sitting blankly in the chair, his face showing a mixture of shock and bewilderment. And "himself's" hands were slowly moving, grasping, and fiddling with something in the void in front of him, as if operating an invisible control panel.
But from one's own perspective, the "self" is surrounded by a blank space.
Instinctively, he turned to look at the window, but it was empty!
In the slanted light from the corner of his eye, he saw himself inside the room, also turning his head.
"Holy crap!"
Although I had expected it, I was still startled by my own squinting and smirking gesture.
It's a bit bizarre!
That's so damaging to my image!
Turning back, my gaze passed through the holographic image to the mug on the desk with an anime character printed on it, half-filled with cold water.
Then, a bizarre idea came to mind. He reached out, picked up a pen, and used it to look at the holographic image in front of him, which resembled a miniature model.
He pointed the tip of his pen at the miniature cup in the hologram and gently poked it.
suddenly!
A whooshing sound came from beside his ear, and a pen thicker than his thigh suddenly roared past his ear with a crushing, age-defying force, lightly touching the cup.
"Clang!"
With a soft click, the mug was moved a few centimeters, and the position of the handle changed.
The logic, at this moment, formed a closed loop, but also completely collapsed.
He felt a surge of joy, but then he was completely devastated.
I freaking...
What did you do?
This isn't a hologram, this is... reality?!
Go to hell with you!
The smile froze on his face and then vanished.
The smile doesn't disappear, it just moves on, but this time, it's truly gone.
He took a deep breath, shook his somewhat chaotic mind, and focused his gaze on the holographic image in front of him again. A crazy idea began to flash through his calm mind.
With a thought, his vision rapidly expanded, countless stars transforming into streams of light and coalescing into an even larger structure. He saw the Local Group, the Virgo Supercluster… Finally, an incredibly vast vortex structure, shimmering with hundreds of billions of stars—the Milky Way—suspended before him. His gaze locked onto the edge of the Milky Way's spiral arm, in an inconspicuous corner. With another thought, that area rapidly magnified, and a dusty, cratered asteroid appeared before him, no bigger than a billiard ball.
He took a deep breath, picked up the pen again, carefully aimed the tip at the asteroid in the hologram, and gently poked it.
The moment of contact, a strange tactile feedback returned; it wasn't like poking a stone, but rather...
A stagnant, heavy resistance, as if propelling something invisible but of immense mass.
He held his breath, exerted a little force, and pushed forward.
The pen moved a mere centimeter. But in the hologram, the asteroid jolted violently, as if struck by an invisible, immense force, instantly breaking free from its orbit that had carried it for billions of years, and flying diagonally into the dark void beyond the galaxy, its speed increasing rapidly!
Hu Biao abruptly pulled his hand back, the pen falling to the table with a crisp sound. His heart pounded, and cold sweat instantly soaked his back.
He just...
Did you move a star with a pen?
He just tried to use his hands to play basketball with the blue planet.
That's absolutely terrifying!!!
As an ordinary high school student, he felt like he was dreaming.
He took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes. When he opened them again, the holographic image in front of him disappeared. He closed his eyes again and opened them again, and the holographic image reappeared. At the same time, he felt a slight dizziness.
Now he was certain that he wasn't dreaming.
It seems something incredible has awakened!
This dizziness feels a bit like what's described in novels—the result of overusing one's mental energy!
I wanted to use this as the cover, but I don't know how!
