Brockton's Celestial Forge (Worm/Jumpchain)

Once again, I'm sorry to have to announce a delay, but I'm going to need another week to finish the chapter. I haven't been able to write as much as I wanted and the next few days will be too hectic for me to be able to close out the chapter in the final stretch. I'm hoping that soon things will calm down enough to get back on my usual schedule and I apologize for the recent delays.
As always it's good to have a update on either the story or development thereof. I'm sure that when you're done with it it will be delightful.

I'm just grateful you give us these heads up in the first place.
 
"We're in a fucking fictional universe! His powers are from fictional fucking universes! It's all a FUCKING writing exercise for some guy out there!"
That's a stupid way to look at this.
The universe is INFINITE. With infinite potential and infinite possibilities.
If you think, you are. If fictional universes are suddenly not fictional, then they never were.
If they are not fictional, even though they are from books, games, anime, then neither are you. You're a character in a "fictional" story? Congratulations! The infinite monkeys with keyboard theory ring true once again!
 
Inspiration struck, and I wrote this in about 2 hours or so ;3
He should have gotten a perk during the conversation with jumper-sempai, and then she recognizes it as Celstial Forge instead of Jumpchain. So then she pulls out a DIFFERENT phone, with the CF V1 and a copy of Junko's adventures in MHA, but not Joe's adventures here.

Infinite universes doesn't mean every universe is real. 10, 100, 1000, 10000 … is an infinite pattern but you don't see 7.

According to the multiverse theory, where universes might exist where even basic laws of physics are different, there might be in fact a 7 somewhere there. Hell, for someone from a different universe, that 7 might look like, and function the same way as 1 does.
 
Sure, but the infinite isn't the premise here. It's the possible explanation for why you have suddenly found yourself neck deep in a 7.

By that token you can also have 9^9 or just 3 universes one of which happens to be 7. Having an infinite set is only relevant narratively as people stop considering details when faced with infinity.

Sure. The possibility of infinity isn't important. That's just the term that was brought up.
The point is that a universe that you are currently existing in is real rather than fictional.
 
Don't forget, there are universes out there where 7 doesn't exist, and some other symbol/word are used to represent that specific qty.

Additionally, every universe is entirely real to it's occupants, who don't find things like the police vice squad wearing BDSM gear, or a villain named Moe Zart, out of the ordinary.
 
The worst part of the existential crisis for him would be realizing that he's the one who wrote his own emotional damage experience I think.
 
A universe/reality being "fictional" is a matter of perspective. From our perspective, Worm is fictional, it will never interact with us. Does this mean that in the infinity that is existence that the premise of Worm doesn't play out to a T, characters, stupid setting and all? Who knows? We never will be able to. And who the fuck cares?

That is the answer to the existential dilemma of "What if we're all just fiction?" Does it change anything? Does it make anything any less real? Does it make you less you? What is real and what is not doesn't matter, what does matter is what is.

Damn it this discussion got me all philosophical.
 
I'm going to be taking an extra day for the next chapter so that I can properly close out the hostage plot and get back to things in Brockton Bay. Sorry for the recent frequent delays and inconsistent schedule. I'm hoping to be able to get things back on track soon.

We will be patient, your work is worth the wait. Take care of yourself. <3

Also, I'm excited to read the conclusion of the hostage situation!
 
Take your time life will throw curveballs at you and it has been throwing some your way recently. so take your time find your center and remember this is about what is enjoyable for you, not that you need to post a chapter each week, but that you write at your own pace and post what you feel is done in a right enough way. Also thank you for story so far.

My good sir. Take whatever time that you need. Many of us understand that life can frequently get in the way. Post the next chapter whenever you're ready.
 
Eh, to be fair, we would be much happier, I think, if you'd just posted wherever next chapter was ready not when you've made a scheduled date. Much less stress for you and much less annoyance for us. Still, I hope you are doing good IRL and have enough rest! It's important!
