In a place full of darkness, everything was quiet. There was nothing there for miles. Nothing except a small house with a flower and vegetable garden surrounding it. The flowers and vegetables were both growing big despite the lack of sunlight. The door’s house opened, revealing its owner.

The mysterious creature reached over to a water pail that was right by the door and started happily watering the vegetable garden first. They soon moved on to the flowers. After making sure both gardens were watered, the mysterious creature placed the water pail back down before taking in the smell of the flowers.

The entity sighed melancholically. “I’ve been in this void for who knows how long, taking care of my flower garden as usual. Nothing here except me,” they said, in a male, monstrous voice. The mysterious creature looked out at the darkness of the void, feeling lonely.

They had been in the void for a long time and hadn’t exactly been keeping track as, in the void, time doesn’t exist or have any effect. So, to the mysterious creature, it had been both a long time and seemed like a minute had barely passed.

He sighed again. “Being ‘Corrosion Abyss’ hasn’t been easy ever since I first ended up here. I wish I was back home performing surgeries on my patients, chatting with other doctors and nurses,” said the mysterious creature, depressed. “I miss being human, and I miss my family too.”

Corrosion Abyss was once a human doctor. Being trapped in the void meant he had been separated from his wife and son. His daughter was to come on the way in a few months, and he wasn’t sure if she had already been born, he still had plenty of time, or centuries had passed since he was lost in the void. All he could remember from the day he became what he was walking through the doors to the surgical room and finding himself floating in the void. The former human created a mirror in a moment of panic and realized that he had become a character he created so very long ago as a child. Realizing what he had become and what he lost, the former human fell into a deep depression, and being unable to escape the dark nothingness did nothing to improve his mood.

“I am relieved that I was able to master these abilities. Without them, life in this void would’ve been awful,” he said, sounding a bit relieved.

During the time Corrosion Abyss was in the void, the void creature trained their abilities. The land that Corrosion Abyss was floating above was created with his power as he decided that the void needed some color. He even created the flowers, plants, artificial sunlight, the house, and everything in it as well as many other things.

Corrosion Abyss stretched out their body as the void creature was trying to limber up despite it didn't need to. “Well, time to see which universe can provide me with some entertainment as usual,” they said.

Corrosion Abyss then floated towards the void until the void creature was only a few feet away from his home. Suddenly, multiple amethyst, purple-colored magic circles which disappeared as, what appeared in the air before in their places, were portals. Then, something started to appear in the portals. On each one was some sort of moving imagery of ponies and other creatures, their voices being heard through the portals.

Corrosion Abyss looked at one of the portals. “There’s the universe where there’s a cursed mare living in Ponyville and learning lessons from the Elements of Harmony themselves?...No,” said the void creature, shaking his head. Corrosion Abyss then looked at the other portals.

Over the course of time they had been living in the void, the void creature had figured out exactly where he was thanks to said portals. It seems that the void that Corrosion Abyss was living in was located in some sort of multiverse that was based on some sort of cartoon pony series that their son and a few other people he knew watched and read in the comic books. From what Corrosion Abyss knew and had also heard about the show from his enthusiastic son, the main characters were a group of six mares and a kid dragon named Spike. It did remind the void creature of the previous generation of cartoons he saw as a kid.

Corrosion Abyss was looking on as each of the portals were showing what was currently happening in the universes on the other side. “There’s also the ones where a weird creature named Discord is being an adoptive father to a green colt named Anon, a black and white cartoonish stallion that seems to act like he’s from an old cartoon, a universe where there’s a non-pony mare living amongst the ponies of Ponyville, an alicorn princess who was trapped inside of a library but is now free and is on an important mission, and one where Rainbow Dash is a pirate,” listed the void creature. Corrosion Abyss thought about it before shaking their head again.

The void creature had set the portals to be seen and traveled through on his side, but not on the other side as to keep others from noticing or accidentally traveling through. Corrosion Abyss had been watching some of the universes ever since as part of entertainment to keep himself from getting bored.

The void creature’s eyes landed on one of the portals. “Rarity leaving Fluttershy in charge of her store in Canterlot? Maybe,” they said, somewhat interested.

That portal was connected to the Prime Universe itself, which was the cartoon pony show that was airing and being read about back home. His real home. It was the one universe that the void creature would watch the most. There were still times he just couldn’t bear to look at it, however. Still, some of the adventures were entertaining after all, which made the void creature understand why their son was a fan. Last time Corrosion Abyss had heard about it, it was on Season 1. From the looks of it now, it’s now way past that season.

The void creature eventually made a decision. “I guess I’ll watch the alicorn one. It’ll be interesting to see how Twilight and Rarity’s relationship progress further in that universe,” said Corrosion Abyss.

They made all, except one of the portals, disappear before focusing on watching that one. Creating portals was easy for the void creature and he would’ve escaped the void, except for one problem, and that was the way Corrosion Abyss looked. They were afraid of how other creatures would react to seeing him, so he decided to stay in the void until a solution could be found.

Corrosion Abyss laughed at what was happening. “Those two are perfect for each other. Love is a beautiful thing,” they said.

The void creature watched as the Princess of Magic and the fashionista were having a conversation about something.

Author's Note

The drawing of Corrosion Abyss was made by my friend, chaosborb. ^^

The universes that Corrosion Abyss were referencing:
Heartbreak series (since it's 2018, she'd be in this story at the time)
Dadonequus Discord (created by CrazedLaughter)
Ask Vaudeville
Emerald Gleamer series (by Legionary)
The Enchanted Kingdom (created by Monochromatic)
Ask Pirate Dash

I would've named some other MLP AU Tumblr ask blogs, but I barely even remember which ones ran during 2018, while the others I do remember I don't know if they even ran during 2018, so I decided to name some stories that did in order to fill in some blanks. Also, Corrosion Abyss is from sometime during the year 2011, so he's been there for less than 7 years.

The Psychopath proofread this chapter.
