In a distorted dimension.

"Eura, as planned we used up all our divine powers to block all the dimensions that they have leading to our worlds. It would take millennia to restore our divine powers." Said the largest divine being present.

"We will be in this weakened state for a long time and if Sefir and the gods following him are able to destroy Mavis then all that awaits us is doom." another god said.

"I understand and thank you, is it unfortunate that we lost Gamma and Solana as we are caught off guard but we have to fight. " Eura said in a calming voice.

"With all the other dimensions gone, Mavis world will be the focal point of this war. The demons have almost conquered half of Mavis but fortunately, the children kept on fighting," she added.

"All preparations are ready, this will be our last stand. Heroes emerge in troubled times and we have witnessed it time and time again. We will succeed, I trust our children." Eura closed her eyes.

All the other gods went silent. They focused their attention on the center of the distorted dimension where you can see all the worlds created by each god and Mavis as its center.

If you look closely, it is divided into 2 sides. Because some of the dimensions leading to other worlds were destroyed it created a wall like black holes that keeps the gods from the other side to attack.

There are also 2 worlds on the other side that seem to be destroyed but starting to rebuild as a demonic world.

Earth 2034

A huge crack in the sky suddenly appeared out of nowhere and all of a sudden an image of a goddess materialized on top of the crack.

"My beloved children." A sweet female voice that feels like it soothes your very soul rang in the ears of all the humans on Earth.

"What's going on?!"

"OMG!"

"Is this a prank?"

"Wow, is this a movie taping? they sure pushed it to the limit this time."

This huge phenomenon can be witnessed all over the world. And every human witnessing it has their own reaction.

"My children, we don't have enough time."

"The pact has been broken and war has started."

"My guardians will descend to provide you with all the details."

"My beloved, stay strong and be the heroes to save the universe."

The goddess' image slowly vanished as if it were losing connection from the other side but the huge crack in the sky remains. A long moment of silence comes after it and later a huge commotion follows.

After a few hours, several jets and helicopters can be seen roaming the sky. They found out that the huge crack can be seen all over the world From Antarctica to Greenland and from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean.

Also, nothing can touch it even if the jets forcefully fly to hit the crack, they just fly through without anything happening.

Social media exploded with videos and reactions, each government summoned its officials, and the media did their best to get answers but to no avail.

Countries with small militaries started to panic as they keep repeating the recorded video mentioning war while the superpowers like the USA and Russia tried to calm the world.

"...as the palace spoke person recommends, everyone is advised to stay at home until they get more clues or answers. Thank you and this is..."

shzokk!

*Television turning off.

"Sigh. What a mess."

'I don't even have work yet after 16 applications and now this. I need to find a job soon as I can't ask for money from my parents and sister every time.' the 19-year-old Caesar thought to himself. He graduated last year with the hopes to make it big in the technology industry but the reality hits him hard after a year of no fruitful results.

'furthermore, my sister would nag me for being incompetent again. I hope that witch don't look for me anytime soon.'

Ding dong!*doorbell sound

"Caesar open the door. I know you're there slacking again!"

"oh God, speaking of the devil she's here."Caesar walks to the door and saw his sister and brother.

"hmm.. Ram, why are you with this witch I thought you were going to stay at your college dorm for a few weeks?"

"Hey! who are you calling witch again??!!"

"Brother, are you even watching the news? The school decided to cancel the lectures until the phenomenon is resolved." Ram said while smiling.

'well, I was watching the news the whole day but never mind.' Caesar ignored his siblings and just went straight to the kitchen to prepare food for his unwelcomed guest.

Ram kept his smile as he stares at his older brother and walks in to turn on the television while his older sister Sunny started nagging them about life again.

***************************************

Somewhere in Europe.

Just when the whole world is starting to calm down with the help of the United Nations and superpowers' effort, a huge tremor that caught everyone off guard resounded.

197 towers started to rise all over the world exactly 24 hours after the image of the goddess vanished. Some countries experienced an earthquake and small tsunami waves as some towers emerges near the sea.

Panic strikes at the heart of each citizen at the sight of these creepy towers that seem to be the highest building they have ever seen in their entire life.

Around the tower is like a magic circle that you only see in movies and anime that serves as a barrier of some sort.

While most of the people who witnessed these towers rising went running as far as they could, some courageous citizens closest to a tower tried to touch it but the barrier stops them from taking a step further.

After the towers fully emerged. Within the crack in the sky, shiny objects started coming out. These shiny objects started flying straight to the towers, exactly 197 of them.

"There's something flying towards the tower and it has wings!" Shouted someone who used his telescope beside his window.

People who heard it instinctively looked above to take a glimpse and after a few seconds, they saw something descending from the sky near the tower. A humanoid figure started to take shape the closer it gets to the ground.

This humanoid seems to be covered with armor. An armored knight you can only find in a fantasy world, with wings to boot and an aura that can be seen wiggling seeming to stress how powerful they are.

Boom!

Debris shoots everywhere and cracks can be seen where the humanoid landed within the tower area. The courageous people nearby finally felt fear as the humanoid started walking near the border of the tower's barrier.

"Humans!" Red lights can be seen within the helmet of the humanoid, signifying that it's their eyes making them more mysterious and scary.

"We, the remaining guardians were given a task to prepare and guide you." The guardian took out the sword in his back and stabbed the tower's barrier.

"Heroes! accept the call and you will have the opportunity to save your world." The barrier started shining and a huge doorlike image appeared on the barrier border.

Ting!

A sound-like notification can be heard in everyone's ear and a box-like screen showed up on all the people around 16 to 50 years old.

***************************************

Inside Caesar's Apartment.

"Go under the table!" Caesar shouted. He panicked because of the sudden earthquake.

His sister Sunny rushed to the table while trying to pull their youngest but Ram has a smile on his face and pushed his sister's hand away while walking straight to the nearby window.

"Ram! what are you doing?!" Sunny started shouting but Ram remained calm.

Ram opened the window as the shaking continues, he saw a tower slowly emerging from the direction of the sea nearby. Then after a few moments, they heard the sound of the guardian.

"Humans!"

"We, the remaining guardians....."

"......."

"hahaha! I knew it. Just like in the novels I've been reading." said Ram excitedly.

"But am I also going to have the memory of my future self? hmmm..."

"You little brat! you really need a beating this time. You're not listening to us anymore." Caesar walked to his brother and lightly smacked the back of his head.

"Aiguu. I'm sorry brother."

'This guy sure is optimistic even in this situation.' He also thinks that this situation is similar to the novels he read before but he felt cold on his hands.

Ting!

A sound-like notification can be heard and a box-like screen popped up in front of the 3 siblings.

"Would like to help the war against the demons?"

You will have the right to enter the tower of training if you choose Yes.

You will not have another chance if you choose No.

You can take your time to decide if you choose Undecided.

[YES] [NO]

[UNDECIDED]

"Wow, this is real huh.." Ram said excitedly.

"Ram, don't do anything. we need to figure out..." Caesar was not able to finish what he wanted to say when.

"Well, brother and sister see you soon. " Ram said as he clicked the [YES] bottom smiling.

"Ram!" Shouted Caesar and Sunny but it's too late.

Ram magically vanished slowly in front of their eyes as if teleported somewhere. Sunny's body trembled with what was happening, her tears started to fall and as if losing strength she almost fell but Caesar quickly caught and supported her.

"Calm down, Ram might be reckless but he isn't stupid." Caesar tried to calm Sunny.

"But.." worry can be felt and seen on her face.

"Nothing we can do for now, that's his decision. Let's call father and mother first to know their situation then we decide after." Caesar thought he was handling the situation well but his fingers are shaking while trying to dial their parents' number.
