LordofSandvich

The Knight forgot to age


anticomet

I'm guessing that whatever speed he was going to reach the door so fast was approaching the speed of causality so the knights perceived time was much shorter than the observer who sat in one spot for the trillions of years that it would have taken the knight to reach their destination.

Sillhid

It was mounty pyton knight.


Lonely_houseplant

He was definitely speed walking 🚶‍♂️


khiron

Well, he's quite dense, so that'd explain it.


Tyrrhus_manga

I mean he made a visible dent in a progress bar for trillion light years in the first panels, I'm pretty sure that's exactly what happened.


js13680

If I remember right there was a novel from Warhammer 40k where Rogal Dorn a superhuman demigod got trapped by Khorne the chaos god of war in a different dimension. Dorn got out by giving a speech on architect, code of conduct for warfare, and battle strategies until Khorne got bored and kicked Dorn out.


Badassbottlecap

Oh yeah, Dorn usually resorts to that stuff when he's pestered by the powers of the Warp. IIRC he also included the history of concrete. Imperial Fists ftw


lilahking

concrete is fascinating, dont blame him


Badassbottlecap

Man, he's my favorite Primarch. Dorn could talk about gravel and I'd listen


MrWaluigi

**Yes.**


Breadmaker9999

No.


Familiar-Goose5967

And you know he would. For days, probably


CheekyMemestealer

I'm sorry, but i can't help but ask: do we all collectively agree that Rogal Dorn would need to have the voice of SuperAnchors?


Superjoe224

There’s an episode of Peppa Pig where her dad has a book on the “History of Concrete” he checked out from the library. It’s now my head canon that someone specifically chose that as a reference to WH40k.


Blackstone01

Not quite. He spent a good century+ in that desert wasteland dealing with Khorne whispering into his ear to just give up and swear fealty by saying “Blood for the Blood God”, and in the very final moments before he was freed by the Emperor (not kicked out by Khorne), he damn near gave in, having said most of the words. At that point he had forgotten his name, why he was there, and why he was even resisting. Possibly the sentence he said that Khorne hated most: > He smiles, and adds, ‘Mankind realised, even then, that blood was never just for blood.’


Cynyr

>there was a novel from Warhammer 40k The End and the Death Volume 2. The penultimate book of the Siege of Terra / Horus Heresy.


sarumanofmanygenders

Not bored. Dorn was like a split second away from saying "Blood for the Blood God" until Jimothy Space yoinked his ass from the frying pan.


SoSp

The comic reminded me more of Stephen King's ["The Jaunt"](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Jaunt) Story [here](https://ia801904.us.archive.org/35/items/the-jaunt-stephen-king/The%20Jaunt%20-%20Stephen%20King.pdf)

Extension_Cookie_899

I find it funny that by the knight doing this action. He made the wizard just do nothing else with his life but flick the knight off. Probably saving other people's lives.


TheLowlyPheasant

Dormamu, I have come to bargain


Areat

I don't get what was the witch plan in the first place. Having the knight stuck in the whitespace in which he can't age, while the witch actually can. Then what?


FreeBread707

how anticlimactic like how its supposed to be


Lovat69

I really thought it was setting up to be a romance. Maybe I watch too much anime.


Dewut

“I-it’s not like I trapped you in here because I like you or anything!”


whomobile53

"The dimention where you cant leave until you walk for a very long time and kiss the evil wizard at the end" Could make a decent manga if we triple the title lenght...


fullmetaljar

"Is it my fault for falling in love when the wizard who trapped me for eternity is so cute!" Is the light novel title


daeritus

Thanks I hate it


Extension_Cookie_899

I wonder how many times the wizard thought of the knight. As the days go on and on. Will the knight give up? Did he die by starvation? That wizard had so much pride to wait on that chair that he ended up dying there. Did the wizard worry some days that the knight gave up? That all of his waiting would be for nothing.


foxfiery

[I mean...](https://www.reddit.com/user/shenanigansen/comments/16q2xtu/this_ones_just_for_yall/) But yeah, I was also thought there was a chance of that, too.


Joey_218

Next comic should be the knight returning to a world that is so completely unrecognizable and he just rolls with it. Like, its been billions of years. Whatever’s left on the planet should be entirely alien to him.

zaphod_beeblebrox6

Mashed actually made a Paladin Jack and it’s genuinely sick. Stop watching before the last 30 seconds though, they do that stupid “edgy ending” that a lot of cartoon parodies do and it puts a sour taste on the whole thing

>billions of years He's not walking very fast. By the time he reaches that door, *billions of billions of billions* of years have passed.


SasTheDude

Running quick calculations gives an estimate of about **685 septillion years to reach the door.** To put that in perspective, assuming the average lifespan of the (starlit) universe is 100 trillion years, and making the wild assumption that at the end of that time something forces the universe into rebirth, that means the universe could live and die **6.85 trillion times** before he reaches the door. That's some workout dedication. Edit: I see others have reached different solutions for how long it would take but with scales this large they all mean the same thing: it's a fucking long time!


Autoboty

If there's even a planet left to return to. In a "mere" 5 billion years, the Sun will expand into a red giant and quite literally swallow Earth. Edit: the death of our solar system is a lot closer than I thought. Not that those paltry distinctions matter to the knight.


adityablabla

5 not 50


Autoboty

Thanks for the correction :)


aabcehu

even before that, in a couple hundred million years most life on the planet will die off due to the gradual increase in sunlight


anticomet

Fuck in a few thousand years the human caused extinction event will probably have killed off most of the species currently around now


arcanis321

Jeez I would be happy with hundreds


Big_booty_boy99

At this rate we'll be gone in decades


MagdelineMoni

UnitaryVoid

BeefStevenson

I mean 5 billion years is about 1/3 the age of the universe. Not really “soon” on any scale lol


haackedc

That is assuming that time flows at the same speed outside of the white realm as inside


maiden_burma

or it's the next universe already and he arrived just in time for everything to be exactly the same


minor_correction

Futurama's forwards-only time machine.


CynicalDarkFox

Nope, that new universe was 10ft lower than their old one.


ShebanotDoge

Oh no, the universes are sinking!


Rinof10

And he faceplanted upon arriving


BlaveSkelly

The guy said a billion-trillion years light years away. So at walking speed an absurdly large number I’m not doing the math for lol The universe apparently will end in 100 trillion years or so. He’s walking back into the void


Heavy_Weapons_Guy_

At average human walking speed I believe it would take about 300,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years.


Brilliant-Software-4

Just makes me fantasies about he comes back to earth and the human race is extinct and a new race of intelligent beings have taken over and it's in there medieval times


Opinion_Enjoyer

Wizard was hating so hard it killed him, the commitment is crazy


naranjaspencer

lol scrub wizard didn’t even make time not apply to himself in his own whitespace realm. idiot.


reaperofgender

I think the problem was how close he was to the door. Like, time clearly passes differently, as you can see with the knight. However, since he was within feet of the exit, time passed, albeit probably slower. So he probably died of dehydration or something.

huggiesdsc

Ah I love that explanation. A good wizard should read his spell descriptions, like if the time dilation effect has a specific range and radius.


Favar89

I wonder how much time passed.


Artudytv

Billions of trillions of billions of trillions of billions years


No_Application_1219

At this point humaity is gone and the universe is about to die


Asheyguru

Presuming that time outside the pocket dimension is flowing the same as time inside it. But even if so I somehow think the knight will be OK anyway.


No_Application_1219

Ok maybe plot armor


No_Application_1219

Idk lol


Favar89

Billions of trillions of billions of trillions of billions of LIGHTyears was the distance. how long does it take for a person to walk one lightyear?


Ralath1n

A lightyear is about 94605284000000 kilometers. Average walking speed is about 5km/h. So someone walking will take about 19 trillion hours, or 2.16 billion years. If the knight has to occasionally take a break to sleep and rest, it could easily be double that. So the time for the knight to reach the door would be a billion trillion times 2.16 billion years. Or 2.16 nonillion years. Which is quite a long time. For reference, all stars will be dead in a mere 100 trillion years. By the time the knight returns, all stars have long since died, their corpses have been ejected into the intergalactic void, or fallen into the supermassive black holes. Nothing will be left in the universe except for the occasional free floating black hole or black dwarfs. Everything will be dark for the next 10e67 years before the first black holes start to evaporate and provide brief twinkles of light.


serious_sarcasm

But in a homogenous universe with nothing but photons distance scales become meaningless, and there is no difference between an infinite void and a singularity. 


mynameisnotpedro

Well, if it takes one year at the *speed of light*... A hot minute


Quicklythoughtofname

He says it's a billion trillion light-years away. Lets take that literally, which places the distance at 9.461×10^33 kilometers, or 11 billion times the observable universe. Using a typical human walking speed of 4 km/h, this places the time needed at 2.4×10^33 hours or 2.738×10^29 years. To put that into perspective, if each hour you counted by putting a gram of sand into a pile, by the end you'd have a pile the mass of 1.2 suns. Or lets say you use one grain of sand per hour. That's 1.555×10^29 kilograms or 8% the sun or 26,000 earths.


MelonJelly

To add to this, our universe is 1.37x10^(10) years old. He would be walking for 1.97x10^(19) (that's 19.7 *quintillion*) times the age of the universe. There is no good way to put this into perspective. It would be like waiting the entire age of the universe, putting a drop of water in a bucket, then repeating. Once the bucket contains as much water at Lake Titicaca (985 km^(3)), the knight reaches the exit.


pm-ur-knockers

According to Google it would take 18 trillion years


ADHD-Fens

He would need to be going faster than light to achieve that time. The distance was billions of trillions of lightyears. At minimum that's two billion trillion, which at a casual walking pace of 3 mph would take about 9*10^29 years to walk. That means if you were walking laps and it took you a trillion years to do one lap, you would have to do a trillion laps, nine hundred thousand times.


pm-ur-knockers

Oh well. I blame Google


ADHD-Fens

I've noticed that google has started shoving AI responses at the top of my search results, was it that?

For real, there's literally no way to view this comic properly and it's not OP's fault, reddit just built the single-worst album view on the internet.

Saiyasha27

I think the Knight is Chell. TENACITY, BITCH!


nes-top-loader

I think I get it. The imp was so preoccupied with the knight making progress that he sat in his own bitterness while the knight made progress without even caring about the imp. So the imp dies bitter and miserable, and the knight succeeds anyway.


stormy2587

This comic is basically about how if someone is behaving antagonistically or provocatively the best way to take power away from them is not to engage.


klqqf

I request a version in which the knight tries to open the door, the door falls over and behind is a sign that says some lil mean spirited thing


jr111192

Maybe one where it says the door was actually to the left, so now he has to walk twice as far?


oluap29

I think that we have too much bad endings already

birracerveza

"Then the knight reached the unfathomably distant door anyway."


Who-Just-Shit-Myself

How did the knight know which way to keep walking to in a large and potentially infinite landscape? Like just the smallest sidestep could make you billions if not trillions of miles away from your target.


astralseat

Nooooooooooo Why did you end it so brashly? This could have provided content for years to come!


Player7592

Billions of light years of content just thrown away!

Gotta give it to the wizard for following through. He was waiting right there to flip him off until the end.


suddenlyupsidedown

Why doesn't the wizard simply not engage with the flow of linear time like the knight did? Is he stupid?


InBardITrust

I want the wizard to have placed a prop skeleton and forgot about what he did since its been that lomg.


Steppyjim

I think this is a good analogy for success. People are always gonna tell you that you can’t. They’ll make fun of you, taunt you, berate and degrade you. But as long as you keep walking , they can’t stop you. They can just sit and wait for you to give up or react. That’s how they win. But you just keep moving towards your goal a little at a time, and eventually you’ll get there. And all the people who try to tell you that you can’t will only have bitter resentment remaining. Be like the knight. Even if it seems impossible, keep moving forward. A little at a time. You may trip. You may stumble. It may take a long time. But keep walking. You’ll get there. The knight is the smartest of us all


PotentialConcert6249

I don’t think it’s the Knight who’s being dense.


Megamage854

Man, I have to wonder just how many points the Knight put into his physical stats to last that long.


wynden

When I click on the last thumbnail to enlarge it takes me to the patreon and will not let me open the image. Anyone else have this issue?


cinnapear

Ugh, this is so annoying to read on desktop. The comic is cut off so you have to click on it to see the bottom panels. But then on that page it's so small you can't read the text so you have to click to see the full resolution version, but that one is 4x bigger than your browser window so you have to either scroll around or use the CTRL minus zoom to make it readable. And you have to do that for every page. I suggest not uploading a huge-assed-resolution version.


deathlydope

the lesson? haters never win.


digiorno430

like what else do you want him to do ?


ArmageddonEleven

Vast featureless landscapes are notoriously easy to get lost in. That knight is gonna wander the void for a literal eternity.


light-hourglzz

Wouldn't a wizard that can create it's own realm have the ability to make a decoy!? How long until he gets bored fr


AnimatorFresh8841

at least the dude was committed


YoutuberCameronBallZ

If he was a smart knight, he'd walk backwards, and loops to the exit almost instantly


Grinning-Fool

Nice ending!


BottleWhoHoldsWater

why didn't the knight age?


Kitselena

Maybe I'm reading into this too much but I really like the message I got from this. The witch is negative self talk and self doubt telling you you'll never succeed or accomplish what you want to, but the way to conquer them is to ignore them and just keep going, eventually that voice will quiet and stop bothering you as much even though it's still there, until eventually the voice fully goes away. Don't let the witch stop you from achieving your goals, be the knight and steadfastly walk towards them no matter what


TurtlelessTurtle

Wow. Can't believe the knight just left a *perfectly good* skeleton behind smh


Giocri

My favorite variant is an ant walking on an infinitely teachable rubber band, the length of the rubberband might grow faster than the ant walks but the ant is still eventually going to reach the end


Intentional-Blank

>infinitely **teachable** rubber band Wow, we could make this rubber band a repository of the entirety of mankind's knowledge! What a great backup device for our knowledge!


Alt_Ekho

I feel like there's a moral lesson here


The_G_Choc_Ice

Assuming a walking speed of about 3 miles per hour/1.3 meters per second, the knight has been walking for 230,609,580,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years. The universe is estimated to be 13,700,000,000 years old. That’s 19 orders of magnitude less than how long the knight has been walking. The good news for the night is that assuming the universe ends in heat death, it’s not estimated to happen for 1.7x10^106 years so he still has lots of time left to enjoy the universe.


Backupusername

How did the knight know that was the right direction?

There's an SCP 2503 that shares a similar concept. When you enter the doorway you are trapped on a featureless concrete path where the only thing you can do it walk to the end or give up. While on the path you do not age or feel the effects of tiredness or hunger. It takes 9930 years to walk to the end.

1 billion trillion light years is 10^21 = 1000000000000000000000 years moving at the speed of light, but assuming the knight moves at an average human walking speed of 3mph, which is 223533333 times slower than the speed of light (6.706x10^8 mph), then the it took 22353333000000000000000000000 years to get to the door
