Pov Serne:

  Today is a school day, the first of the year, and it’s so terrible!

  Ever since they changed the curriculum, sure, it’s way more efficient in getting the understanding of the concepts in the students heads, but now I have less free time!

  I used to just understand everything really easily, getting assignments done and then sitting and using my holotablet water, but now? I learn all day!

  Okay I get it, the purpose is to encourage the students growth, allowing students to thrive, both those with less and more talent, but still!

  I just wish something interesting would happen!

  Emergency broadcast! Emergency broadcast! Pnetary object Nullera has exploded through unknown causes! Possible war imminent…

  What?

  As I move my attention, I find a cool pnet, it’s kind of gaseous, and I think most would die there.

  I wonder if it feels like a squishy ball? What are those called again? I think, while unconsciously going through the familiar action of squeezing a stress ball.

  Pop!

  Suddenly the pnet is tiny in my grasp, it’s completely gone from its prior space, and it’s so tiny!

  Were there people on it? I hope not, that would be… depressing.

  If there were before, there aren’t now, so I guess I can do whatever with this now.

  Can I eat it?

  I’ve read about pnet eating gods in fiction, what would it be like to be one?

  I pop the stress ball into my mouth, the one of my outside view, or whatever serves as a mouth.

  It tastes very chemically and weird, I do not like it.

  This… is not very useful, nothing happened other than the destruction of the pnet!

  I am making both a big deal out of this, and a small deal of this.

  I am acting like a child because my idea hasn’t made anything grand happen, and yet something did happen!

  I destroyed a fucking pnet!

  Mwuhahaha

  I am so powerful

  Fear me!

  After a short disappointment with my actions not doing something else, and then the high that comes from being so powerful, I was unsure what to do.

  I haven’t let anyone know of my power, and I don’t want to be seen as a child who got a bunch of power!

  Even if I age myself, I will still probably be seen as a childish god!

  Unless I can figure out how to skip time!

  I could do that maybe…

  If I can make myself survive space and a lot of acceleration, I could probably use close to light speed to my advantage!

  But how do I tell time?

  Also, are the ws of physics the same here?

  I hope so, or else I’ll be bored for a while.

  But first, maybe I learn how to speak outside of my body? Then I could question people, and figure out when I’ll be an adult, what year it is, what year i’ll be an adult, etc.

  I’ll just abandon my parents!

  That, seems mean…

  Do I want fun or sentimentality?
