>Welp no time to be picky >Much of the book was damaged but you still garnered some skills from it >With the books help you learned how to create a pocket dimension, how to enchant, how to make potions and last and most useful was the ability to break down things on a molecular level and reconstruct them how you see fit, the breaking down easier once you had physically broke what you want to reconstruct   >You faintly recall a show from your old life about a blonde kid with the same ability, only stronger >Pulling out of your thoughts you see your feet had lead you to the library >It’s a large room, ten meters tall and twenty in both width and length >many of the bookshelves are barren, but seeing as you are the one who has to write the books it’s understandable >The ones that are there are stories that you’ve written, informational texts, and many a filled dairy >Continuing on out of the library you come to the treasury >Its stacked high with gold, jewels and other valuable things >Useless, but pretty, and something to do when you come across them in mines >it’s almost a shame that it will all be left here… >Grabbing a solid gold bar you store it away in a swirl of gray energy to your pocket dimension >Might as well take one… >Time to make the final preperations… >You head further into the large stone castle to the armory >Opening the door your eyes are greeted by a vast myriad of shining weapons and armor that are almost too perfect, too honed, too immaculate to be natural >You pass them by, they are just the products of boredom and nowhere near the level of the tool that you want >You head to the very back and hanging on the wall is a sword >Not just any though… >The one >You delicately pick it up and hold it as if it were made of glass >Your best work, it’s a sword, gleaming even in the low light, about 44 inches overall, about 8 for the handle and 36 for the blade >The cross guard is made out of painstakingly carved obsidian stylized into a pair of spread eagle wings, the detailed feathers of which were lined with thin lines of gold >The cross guard lead down into a woven spider silk wrapped wooden handle made for just your hands with a large, finely cut diamond serving the pommel >These details paled in comparison to the blade though >The full tang blade is made of one, seamless, sharpened blade shaped diamond >Completely flawless and clear, thanks to your unique powers, the only mark on the blade were the words “Mixed Blessing” etched into it >Mixed Blessing, it’s what you had named the sword, seeing as it was the only thing other than you to know ageless-ness and how it would understand if it were alive >Whatever happened to bring you the Overworld also made you immune to time >You could still get injured, you know this for a fact, and more than likely you could die >Not too eager to find that one out >You cut yourself off there and turn your attention back to Mixed Blessing >You hold the blade downward by the pommel and let go >With a satisfying “SHINK” the sword buries itself halfway into the stone floor without even trying >You grin, pull the sword from the floor and store it way in a flash of gray >With a trip to the supply room you store away a ton of wood and stone as well as a few pick-axes and shovels >The last of your supplies gathered you traverse your soon to be former castle down to the central courtyard >Once there you look at your creation sitting in the middle of the courtyard with barely contained excitement >A large ring of obsidian with a swirling, purple portal in the center looked back at you >It had taken many years but you had done it >You had modified a Nether portal to take you to a new world… >Covered in enchantment runes and countless magical items like Ender pearls and the like it was a serious labor to complete >But a new world! >The world on the other side was inhabited too if the brief flashes of images you got when touching it were any indication   “It’s time.” >With but a moment’s hesitation you walk up to the portal >You glance back at the monument to your survival ability that is your castle before running through the writhing purple energy
