Dimensional swap 2

He destroys the machine. He took it apart and dumped each part individually. He has burned the hard drives so no data could be recovered from them. Because this machine would surely cause a lot of troubles.

He says as if he knows everything but he knows nothing. He just built a machine which he has no idea of. It somehow worked. His luck is pretty good after all. 

After the machine is safely disposed off, he started experimenting a bit. Could he change his clothes normally or would they just pass through him? 

The answer he found is that it would depend. As long as he focuses, his body would feel like a real body. But the moment he loses his focus, everything would pass through. And he can just change clothes by thinking.

He just has to alter his own input data and it would be done. Meaning he has no physical constraints.

"This house was supposed to be demolished anyway. I'll just leave it as it is. Besides I have no need of money for now." 

He is ready to set out. But what will he do? How will he handle everything from now on?

The doorbell rang and he knew who was here. He just opened the door and found Sasha with a big luggage in her hand.

She stormed inside of his house and sat on the sofa. 

"Ms. Sasha, why are you carrying that huge luggage?" 

"I ran away from home. My father had arranged a suitor for me. This time, I don't even have a say in it. So I ran away." (Sasha)

"You seem to be carrying an awful lot for a runaway person." 

"I had already sorted it out so the moment he told me about this, I grabbed the bag and left secretly. I guess they haven't noticed that I am gone yet." (Sasha)

Keith thinks. Why did she come here? He came to the answer that she must have thought they wouldn't find her here.

"You can stay here as long as you want. Besides, I am leaving anyway. Consider this place yours from now on." (Keith)

"Wait a minute, where are you going?" (Sasha)

Keith thought that it would be better to give her the demonstration. He stood near a wall and pushed his hand in. It phased through the wall. Sasha has her eyes wide open.

"See, I am not a human anymore. I don't exist anymore. So I was thinking of leaving this place. You can have it if you want or use it for hiding." 

Sasha is still stunned. But she shook her head and came back to her senses. 

"Are you a ghost?" (Sasha)

"Kind of. I am what you call a bundle of data. My physical body is gone but I am mimicking my human appearance for now. Meaning I am nothing more than a remnant." 

"What will you do from now?" (Sasha)

"I am not bound by anything. I am not a human anymore. So I don't necessarily have to stay here. And I have confirmed that I can survive anywhere. Be it inside of magma or in space. I may just go traveling." 

"Then take me with you." (Sasha)

Sasha stands up and grabs her luggage. Well, Keith is in a bind now. How will he travel like a ghost with Sasha in tow?

"Fine. Wait a minute…" 

Keith goes near Sasha. He has an idea. He pushes his right hand through Sasha. Sasha lost her consciousness.

He is trying to tamper with her memories. He is trying to make her forget that someone named Keith Harding ever existed. While searching through her memories, he found a few obsolete memories.

It was of their first meeting. Keith always thought that they both at the blind marriage interview. But that wasn't the case.

They had both met each other when they were children. Keith was still living on the streets but he somehow made contact with Sasha. 

They were playmates for a while before Keith was beaten by Sasha's bodyguard and thrown out. Keith himself had forgotten about this.

"So, this isn't our first meeting. I guess that is why she kept coming after me. She realized who I was." 

Keith felt a bit happy that someone recognized him. But that doesn't make him change his decision. He has decided.

"I am but a fraud. And I will keep on searching for death. It will have to accept me sooner or later. So, this is goodbye, Sasha." 

His alterations were done. He picked up Sasha and went to her home. After laying her down on her bed, he took care of that problem with suitors.

After fixing that problem, he decided to erase his existence from that planet. He is capable of doing such things. How can he do all these so readily?

He is a fraud. He is just making everyone think that he is gone. He has no such ability like altering memories or creating fake memories. He can just using cheap tricks.

Then how is he erasing his existence? He just altered the planet's lay line's memories a bit. That's all. 

"Now, my job is done. Then, farewell. My home planet Earth. I'll probably never return here.

Saying that, Keith started his endless journey. Throughout his journey through the worlds, he met many people. He was adored by some, loathed by some. But overall, he is a fraud.

He has fooled many for his personal gain. Which makes him a fraud. Much time has passed. He has taken a liking to a certain place.

It is a ruined world. So to say, a dumpster. All the defective creations are dumped there. That place gave him solace. Like he truly belonged there. It did not bother him at all. His loneliness, he was accustomed to it. 

But fate is whimsical. His life will change once again after meeting a certain person at that ruined world. He will have to join the performance once again. Until then, he is free to call himself a fraud.
