Red Hand

It all began more than 2,000 years ago, when great darkness befall the seventh universe and brought about plague and famine in the world. So the ancient elder gods decided to create an elemental magical creature called "The Red Hand" to help reduce the darkness in the world and keep mankind from going into chaos, until the one that is prophecy to come and restore peace and balance in the world and that the destined one will possess a telepathic power to move from one existence to another. In the year 2070, where technology was at its peak. A man named Jeff in his early twenties is the protagonist, who woke up one morning and somehow observed that he wasn't at the right place because things were very different and he didn't recognize the place he was and couldn't remember how he got there. Things were so different and he found it very difficult to communicate with other people because they were very different, dressed differently and had different kind of lifestyle. He then suddenly knew he wasn't at the right place and started panicking, then ran in fear trying to figure out where he was and how to get back to his original home. At first he thought it was just a dream.

After several hours of trying to figure it out, he somehow got himself in danger and realized he could die there, all of a sudden, a red hand appeared and came in contact with him, by touching his shoulder, activated Jeff's telepathic power and brought him back to his universe. He appeared in his room deeply in shock and passed out. The red hand decided to give him sometime to reflect and recover from the incident. After awhile, Jeff woke up and started thinking about what he had experienced and somehow in a few week he discovered that he has the ability to travel between fictional universes and that it is not just a fantastical power but has real-world consequences. Perhaps the actions he takes in one universe affect his life or the lives of others in the other alternate universes he discovered, blurring the lines between fiction and reality.

As time goes by, Jeff encounters a mysterious symbol, the Red Hand, that is somehow connected to his ability to traverse fictional universes. As he explores different worlds, he uncovers a hidden conspiracy or ancient secret tied to the origin and purpose of "The Red Hand". The red hand now revealed itself to him and he then realized that the red hand was there to help him navigate through the right path in other for him to fulfill his destiny. According to the red hand "more than 2,000 years ago there was a prophesy that the one that is to restore balance to the world will manifest and come into existence" and "that itself the red hand was created by the ancient elder gods to be there for him and help him navigate through, on the right path, in other to avoid too much suffering and bloodshed in the world". The red hand is a mysterious, funny looking magical character that looks like a molded dripping rough surface red hand with no mouth but speaks and sounds like a drunk man and can communicate silently using sign language.

The red hand had followers that were like a cult called the "The Red Soldiers" who worshiped and asked it for prosperity. the red hand never revealed itself to anyone before but will only leave a mark, like a symbol to show its presence to its followers and would use them occasionally to keep track of the one that was prophesy to come and bring balance in the world. The red hand only revealed itself to Jeff and told him his destiny was to gather all the seven characters of himself in the alternate universes and perform a divine ceremony at the center of the seventh universe and only that will restore peace and balance to all the universes.

As Jeff continues to live and experiment with his newly found dream power he discovers that multiple alternate universes are merging, causing chaos and threatening the stability of both the fictional and real worlds. He accepted to embarks on a quest with the red hand to restore balance and prevent the catastrophic collision of these universes, perhaps with the help of other characters of himself and the red hand he could stand a chance. But he grapples with questions of identity and purpose. Is he merely a visitor in these fictional realms, or does he have a greater role to play in the lives of this other alternate selves. The first encounter with one of the alternate self was quite difficult and that's when confusion sets in and just like a mere human being he was, he gave up on the mission and left the red hand, back to his real universe and things were really bad back home. he became insane and ran away so that the red hand couldn't find him.

During their time in the first alternate universe, Jeff and the red hand had succeeded in locating Jeff"s alternate self called frank but he was very difficult to convince him to join in their mission. He possessed a very distinct trait of Jeff's personality.

After awhile Jeff's alternate self Frank in the first universe they visited, reached out through to the red hand and explained why he couldn't accept the situation then but he has taken time to think about it and have accepted the possibility of having other fictional realities out there. The red hand had already taught him how to use his head and contact him in case he changed his mind in the future. Frank further express his interest in the mission stating how things were not okay in his reality. The red hand accepted and quickly teleported to him. The red hand wasn't worried about Jeff anymore because he was already in the seventh universe.

So frank and the red hand embarks on the journey across various universes, guided by the red hand's instructions. Each universe represented a different facet of Frank's character, with unique challenges and personalities to face. But frank was so determined to see it through. With the help of the first, second and the third alternate selves, frank located along the way and the red hand, they successfully continued the mission, encountering obstacles and adversaries in each universe, testing their resolve and abilities. These challenges push them to grow and understand themselves better as they wandered through the remaining two universes, forming a diverse and powerful group. All Jeff's alternate selves gradually develop relationships, conflicts, and alliances among themselves as they come together for a common purpose. After they successfully gathered themselves at one place, they form a circle holding each other's hands as instructed by the red hand and the red hand was in the middle performing some magical spell, there comes a great turbulence, a wild wind like a tornado and immediately they disappeared to the seventh universe where Jeff was.

On their arrival the red hand observed that the seventh universe wasn't like how it was before leaving and that there was severe chaos which had began the third world war. Jeff was possessed by a dark force and transformed into a dark lord, created a cult army which he bite and infected with darkness. Used them to start the third world war in other to destroy the seventh universe and stop them from accomplishing the mission. The red hand followers also grow in strength and stood in defense of the seventh universe as instructed by the red hand's most trusted follower called "Egon".

They all faced escalating challenges and encounter entities that seek to disrupt their mission. But they manage to trap the dark lord and the red hand perform a magical spell which expelled the dark force out of Jeff's body and he immediately came back to his senses.

The group reaches the center of the seventh universe which was under a water fountain at mount Kilimanjaro, it was as if they were in another universe entirely because of the naturally endowed environment. it didn't look as if they were under a mountain because of how clear it was and the reflection of some light from the big leaves. They all gathered at the center where they stood on a little stream of water and performed the sacred ceremony with different songs from each alternate selves starting from Jeff as instructed by the red hand. They danced and forget themselves, suddenly it unleash the full power within, with a running wild wind and they witnessed the live vision of the consequences of their actions both positive and negative on all the universes. It was as if all the universe came together in a loop with strips of lightening.

The aftermath of the ceremony brings about a great transformation and restoring of balance in all the seven universes. And they all reflected on the journey and resolve any remaining conflicts amongst themselves. Establishing new equilibrium across the universes. There was peace and balance again across all the seven universes.
