Year 2138, May 8th.
Above the planet Teros, multiple spaceships of different shapes and sizes could be seen flying around, dodging and attacking each. One thing to take notice of though, is that the ships are one of either two colors:Orange and Purple. Well, except one, a dark red ship, slowly flying closer and closer to the center of the battlefield, when its left side gets hit by a stray shot from one of the orange ships.
《ALERT!!!ALERT!!! LEFT THRUSTER HIT!!!ACTIVATING BACKUP THRUSTERS!!!》
As the ships alert system goes of, a loud bang could be heard coming the bedroom.
Bedroom
A man in his mid twenties could be seen, sitting on the bottom bed of a bunkbed , rubbing his head after getting woken up by the alert system, causing him to accidentally bump his head on the top bunk.
"Ouch, stupid alert system, waking me up on my first day off in a month, what do you want!?"
An irritated Zik said, while getting off the bed and getting dressed, when the alert system replies.
《LEFT SIDE THRUSTER HAS BEEN HIT, BACKUP THRUSTERS ARE NOW IN USE》
"What? How? Where are we at?"
Zik hastily asks, as the ship he is in was bought using almost all the money saved up for a month, so he doesn't really have much money to repair it.
《LEFT SIDE THRUSTER HAS BEEN HIT BY ARMOR PENATRATING LASER ROUND WHILE HOVERING ABOVE PLANET TEROS.》
Hearing the name Teros, his face immediately turns ashen, as he shudders slightly. According to his knowledge, the two main leading races of Teros, the purple Frequins and the orange Telians, two of the oldest races, know to have existed for at least millions of years, have been stuck in one of the longest space wars in history, at least 10,000 years, and have been unable to progress forward in technology as far as some other races have, like the Retoru of planet Mesdas, because of their greed for supremacy over planet Teros, so it has been called a forbidden zone for other races.
"Uhhm, system, why are we above planet Teros, I set course for planet Theros, unless......."
Flashback , one day ago
As Zik walks over to the control station of his new spaceship he just bought, he sets his newly brewed cup of coffee down on it, while he inputs his destination, planet Theros, when he accidentally bumps his cup over, getting hit by some of the steaming hot liquid, luckily though, the control station is waterproof, or in this case coffee proof, unluckily though, his hand accidentally slips, which causes him to accidentally tap on the icon for planet Teros, which looks oddly similar to planet Theros. After cleaning up the spilt coffee, he finishes putting in the controls, takes a shower, changes in to his pajamas, and goes to sleep.

End of Flashback
After remebering what happened last night, Zik hurries over to the the control station, and when he checks the last command that was input, he finds out his theory is correct, that he did accidentally press on planet Teros, and because of that, he is now in the middle of a very active war zone, filled with hundreds of thousands of space war veterans who know how to fight, while he, a newbie, doesn't even know how to fly straight, the only things he knows how to do is input some commands and use the system, so after getting his bearings back, he gives himself a peptalk to sike himself up, before he says to the system
"Oh almighty alert system, can you please get far, far, far, away from here? I would very much appreciate that."
The alert system responds.
《COMMAND CANNOT BE EXECUTED》
"Uhm, and why is that, oh almighty system that will definitely save me because I have no other option?"
《COMMAND UNABLE TO BE EXECUTED, INSUFFICIENT CHARGE, ACTIVATING SLEEP MODE TO CHARGE, WILL BE DONE IN 42 HOURS》
Hearing the system, the only noise Zik can make is,
"Ehh?"
Somewhere on planet Teros in a large castle, an hour before the stray shot hit Ziks new ship, on the Frequins side, a short and chubby purple alien could be seen, most likely running as fast as it could, seeing as multiple drops of sweat drip down its face, holding a small die sized cube carefully in its three fingered hands, before rushing through two double wide doors, before walking up to another Frequin, who is wearing a crown and sitting on his throne, most likely talking to one of his war generals about the status of his army, which clearly wasn't fairing well, considering the frown that seems to be getting worse the more he hears , before kneeling and shouting out,
"Your Majesty!! The Destruction Die has been found!!"
The king, minutes before the chubby Frequin rushed in, wasn't having a good day. First of all, his wife died giving birth to his new child. Second, his beautiful daughter, Kali, got kidnapped by the Telians. Third, his genius son, Lathon, got killed by a Telian general. And lastly, the status of his army is getting worse and worse ever since his son died.
At this moment, the two double wide doors leading to the throne room were burst open, and he could see his chubby butler named Thursh enter and kneel before him, before shouting.
"Your Majesty!! The Destruction Die has been found!!"
Hearing this, the kings is shocked, one, because the legend is real, and two, he now has a way to end the war that has been going on for generations, so the king replies full of shock and excitement
"What!?! Where did you find it!?! That was supposed to be a myth!?!"
The short and chubby Thursh hurriedly responds. "It was found in the mine, closest to the holy church of our goddess Leztech. With it was a few books telling one how to use it, and a few other legendary items as well, like Oreqwis's blood draining sword, and Keltall's vine bow."
The king immediately got excited, with all these amazing legendary weapons, how can he not win the war? The king quickly but carefully snatches the Die out Thursh's hand and gets off his thrown, he then walks over to a door labeled War Room but stops and turns to Thursh, saying " What are you waiting for, hurry and go get the other advisors and tell them to meet with me in the war room immeadiately!"
