Also I’m assuming this takes place on earth?

Lore

Manny had a, interesting life. Manny was an adventurous child who grew up in a household of two parents. They made a decent living, the house was nice, and manny was well taken care of. Well, the last part was a lie. Manny was neglected and sometimes abused. The reason of the neglection was due to the constant affiliation and contact with an alien cartel. (Aliens were proved to have existed in this dimension’s earth). But one day, manny’s life changed forever. You see, His parents were a bit low on money so they started borrowing money from the cartel, promising to pay it back. When they realized they couldn’t, they planned to flee the country. However, the cartel predicted this and met them in their drive way when they planned to leave. They blew their heads of with the ray gun, threw the gun on the floor, and left, leaving only a child.

This child, (17 at the time) being highly curious and adventurous, and being glad to be rid of his abusive and neglective parents, picked up the ray gun and started to wonder about its functionality. So he took it inside and started to tinker with it. That was when, he found an experimental function inside the ray gun, not yet activated. Curious, he turned it on. This then created a portal right in front of his eyes. Amazed, he went inside. What he saw next, was mind blowing. A whole new world, just waiting to be explored. As soon as he walked inside, he realized the power of this ray gun and the adventures just waiting to happen, the people he can help, so he can stop others from having the life he used to have. But after a bit of exploring, he ran into a person. Civilization! He went to say hi, but, he said something else entirely. He spoke in a different language, something he never heard before. Interestingly, the person spoke in the same language, and he was able to understand him. So they talked for a bit, and manny explained his situation. Interestingly enough, the man believed him, and invited him into his home. Manny went, happy to have food. The man during dinner explained that he was actually the inventor of that ray gun, but aliens stole it from him. He said the reason why he can talk in another language was due to the ray gun built in translator. And he said that he can travel between planets, and even dimensions, by focusing hard on where he wanted to go. However, if the planet/dimension did not exist, he wouldn’t go there. Manny, expecting the man to ask for the ray gun back, went to offer it to him. However, the man declined. He explained that he made the ray gun to help those who are less fortunate than he on different planets, but he is a bit to old to do all this adventuring. So the man have manny a map, a map of the cosmos. He pointed to a point on the map and said that he should live there, as that is a planet with very welcoming people and a lot of opening houses.

So, after some talk, manny left, and thanked the man. When manny stepped outside, he almost passed out from disbelief. Not only could he live his dream as an adventurer where no one had ventured before, but he can now help people, just as he had wanted to do as a child when he dreamed of being a superhero, saving those who were in a troubled scenario, like him.

So, manny moved to the place, and saw that this place was very similar to where he lived, and had the same name, earth. Except, there were no aliens, and when he looked them up on a borrowed phone, they were thought of as fiction.

He realized that he would need a house, so he started to work as a janitor, and then a plumber, until he could finally afford a home.

When he moved in, he saw that all the neighbors were on edge. It turns out, strange activity has been happening near the neighborhood.

Curious, manny is ready to find out what is happening.
