You’re a dimension-hopper, who can walk through parallel worlds like turning a corner. The increasing number of apocalyptic Earths is really starting to bother you, though
This does mean it's a bit dangerous to traverse this way, but as of now, not nearly dangerous enough to warrant any further precaution. The corner metaphor is really great, because when I do go between worlds, I get a brief glimpse of what it is I'm walking in on, so unless I'm running away or something, I can stop myself.
The apocalypse thing, yeah. They're all different, which is not unexpected, since literally every world I go into is somewhat different from the last. Or a lot different. There was one world I went to where Earth was just not there, and plenty that were identical to another with a single atom in a slightly different place. The apocalypses, though, this is the weird bit, they are all happening at the same-ish time. There are, of course, some worlds that it hasn't happened yet, but somehow, that seems to be a minority of worlds. Which is insane. You'd think in a group of infinite worlds, there wouldn't be any kind of factor that a majority of worlds share. I have a theory that in some of the worlds, the apocalypse is just happening somewhere else.
Don't know what I could do about it, though. I'm sure plenty of them will stick around, with or without people, the apocalypses aren't all planetary destruction, some of them are zombies, some of them are floods that just couldn't exist. And of course, there are plenty that are not really concepts that can be put into words, and plenty of others that are just so completely absurd, like... bees. There's this one where the bees are just turning things blue and everyone has agreed unanimously that this is the end of the world.
I really don't know. I've given up on trying to explain reality or make any sense of it. The only rule is that there will always be something that doesn't make sense.
So, what do I do for my own long-term survival? I guess I just stick to one apocalypse that isn't really dangerous to me.
There's this one where all the people are just gone out of nowhere. Might be a good place to stay a while, until I get bored or something.

Eh. Not my best. Cool concept. A dimension hopper isn't really threatened by anything other than something like another dimension hopper.
