The Omniverse: A journey into infinite realms

I dream of telling stories—literally. At night, I play out adventures with various characters through both familiar and uncharted worlds. Through the years, I've recorded these scenes. Some are mere snippets—character names and brief descriptions—while others have bloomed into detailed concepts.

In short, I have many tales to tell from all around The Omniverse—more than I could ever transcribe in my lifetime. Therefore, I've committed myself to writing about what I'm most passionate about: the extraordinary and phenomenal. Thus, I immerse myself in crafting paranormal and supernatural tales, dabble in (urban) fantasy, and traverse the realms of science fiction.

Now, let's delve into “The Omniverse”.

The Omniverse

In Latin, ‘omnia’ translates to 'everything'. Hence, an omniverse encompasses all existence—whether it's living beings, matter, or atoms—there is no concept of “outside”.

The Omniverse is an expansive and limitless realm. It consists of an infinite number of multiverses, each with its distinct circumstances. In short, the Omniverse is an infinity of infinities.

In certain parallel dimensions, alternate universes, or alternate realities, familiar events and individuals may exist, albeit with subtle differences. Every conceivable outcome of historical events exists as a separate reality, branching off from pivotal moments in time. Imagine if George Washington had died as a baby; if Napoleon had won the Battle of Waterloo; or if the Nazis had won World War II. There would be a significant contrast between those universes.

Moreover, every decision made, or action taken by an individual, creates an alternative universe, each with a unique timeline and cosmological structure. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary in 1914 triggered World War I. What if Gavrilo Princip had decided not to assassinate the heir presumptive to the throne of Austria-Hungary? Or if US President Harry S. Truman had decided against dropping the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II, the course of history could have been drastically different.

The multiverses may closely resemble each other, but some are dramatically different. In some multiverses, the laws of physics may differ significantly, allowing for the existence of advanced civilizations spanning entire galaxies. In these cosmic realms, interstellar empires vie for dominance, harnessing the power of advanced technology and tapping into the mysteries of the universe to expand their influence across the cosmos.

Meanwhile, another multiverse may be steeped in myth and legend. In such multiverses, beings of ancient lore could roam the landscape, from majestic dragons and elusive elves to enigmatic gods and goddesses. In these fantastical realms, magic is not merely a figment of imagination, but a tangible force that shapes the very fabric of reality.

The Omniverse in short

• The Omniverse is a term that transcends conventional understanding. It is the vast and interconnected web of all universes, dimensions, and realities. It's a playground of limitless creativity and a canvas where the extraordinary unfolds.
• The Omniverse encompasses the aggregate of all multiverses. Each multiverse is an amalgamation of multiple universes that span across parallel dimensions and alternate realities.
• A universe is the comprehensive sum of all existence that incorporates space, time, and all its constituents. Within each universe exist a myriad of galaxies that brim with countless stars and planets.

Multiverses in fiction

Of course, the concept of a connected fictional world isn't a novel idea. Artists, including my fellow authors, movie directors, and video game developers, have long crafted their own shared universe or, on a grander scale, a multiverse, in which their creative works come to life.

This concept particularly thrives in comics, fantasy, and science fiction realms. Well-known examples are the “Back to the Future” movies, the ever-expanding “Marvel Multiverse”, and the “DC Multiverse”.

In the 1990s, the TV show “Sliders” gripped audiences with the escapades of a group of travelers navigating parallel universes through a wormhole. In recent times, “Fringe” and “Eureka” also delved into parallel universes in many of their episodes.

Within literature, the tradition of portal fantasy dates back to Ancient Greek mythology and has evolved over centuries. Lewis Carroll's “Alice's Adventures in Wonderland” (commonly known as “Alice in Wonderland”) stands as a classic example. More contemporary works such as “The Chronicles of Narnia”, “His Dark Materials”, and the “Discworld” series have furthered this tradition. Additionally, the Japanese graphic novel genre called “isekai” [1] explores characters that are transported to parallel worlds.

What lies ahead?

Across “The Omniverse”, the possibilities are endless, offering a vast tapestry of worlds and realities to set my stories. To differentiate the multiverses, I will assign numerical designations to each book. For instance, “The Empath Series” unfolds on Earth in universe 258 within multiverse 365, designated as MV 365.258.

Furthermore, these multiverses are interconnected by bridges. Strict security measures are in place to prevent unauthorized entry and unintended breaches. However, we all know that borders are not always impenetrable barriers. Hence, in the future, characters from different multiverses could encounter each other in separate tales.

As you can see, I have many multiverses to explore. I'd be delighted if you accompanied me on this journey. Brace yourself for a journey into a realm beyond imagination.
