The Dimensional Cross: Unveiling Fate's Enigma

Narrator: Fate, a capricious force, sometimes graces us with fortune, and other times with misfortune. My name is ****, and at 75 years old, as I reflect on my life, I find it was a good one. Despite being a successful businessman and decent looking, my high school days were marked by unrequited love. She chose my friend over me—a whimsical twist of fate. But I'm not bitter; that day, I vowed never to love again.

Narrator: Alone, as if some mysterious power intended to keep me isolated, I became grateful for this solitude. I live on Earth 106, an advanced world where we can traverse dimensions. Those who possess this ability are known as omnipotent beings, navigating countless realities and dimensions. As a mere commoner, my knowledge is limited.

Narrator: Today, I sense my end is near. Reflecting on my life, I cherish two individuals: my stepmom, who raised me with a kindness surpassing that of my biological mother who abandoned me, and my business partner's daughter, who brought joy to my later years. If given another chance, I would wish for a daughter like her. I hope my late mother finds peace in heaven and my friend's daughter finds happiness.

Narrator: So, as I take my final breath, I find comfort in the darkness. Suddenly, I awoke, shining brightly among others. A flying entity, Roll, addresses us:

Roll: Welcome, on behalf of the true ruler of this multiverse, the first omnipotent being. Bow before me.

Narrator: As a mere fragment of light, I fall to the ground along with the others.

Rulli: Bow down before the great omnipotent orders. You are the chosen ones for the Fate Zero competition.

Narrator: Weak and powerless, I can do nothing but comply as Rulli explains our situation:

Rulli: There are various dimensions in this multiverse, some with advanced magic, others with advanced science. To balance these forces, we organize a competition called Fate Zero or Dimensional Cross. There are two factions: the Dark Faction and the Light Faction. Each has seven Patriarchs, led by the omnipotent being. To challenge them, you must win within your group.

Narrator: I just want peace; what is this madness?

Rulli: You must form two-person teams, one from each faction. Prepare to receive your powers and leveling system.

Narrator: Everyone begins to shine—except me.

Rulli: Those with mystical figures' names will have special powers.

Ashura: My father's stories are true! I will be the absolute leader.

Indra: Dream on; you can't beat my 30 years of magic training.

Narrator: These youngsters are impressive. Am I old or young?

Rulli: Your partners are matched. Come closer to the dark and light. You will gain the mightiest bodies. If you have a special attribute but no partner, you must proceed alone or be disqualified.

Soha: Nice to meet you, Ashura. Let's win this.

Ashura: Soha, you seem confident. What's your background?

Soha: I've trained in combat magic since childhood. My clan is known for its warriors.

Ashura: Impressive. I specialize in elemental magic. Together, we can be unstoppable.

Soha: Let's see if your elemental magic can keep up with my combat skills.

Ashura: Let's test our abilities. Maybe we can learn from each other.

Alisha: Hi Indra, let's get along.

Indra: Alisha, we need to strategize if we're going to win.

Alisha: Agreed. I have experience with healing magic. I can support you in battle.

Indra: Perfect. I'll focus on offense, and you can keep us alive. We'll need to sync our movements.

Alisha: Let's practice some spells and see how our abilities complement each other.

Indra: Sounds like a plan. We need to be in perfect harmony to succeed.

Kai: Elara, I've heard you're one of the best strategists. What's your approach?

Elara: I study my opponents meticulously. Knowledge is power.

Kai: I rely on instincts. Together, we could balance logic and intuition.

Elara: Agreed. Let's observe our rivals and plan our moves carefully.

Nico: Zara, your agility is unmatched. How do you do it?

Zara: Years of training in the shadow arts. Speed and stealth are my strengths.

Nico: I specialize in heavy combat. Together, we can cover each other's weaknesses.

Zara: Let's test our synergy in a few mock battles.

Nico: Ready when you are. Let's give it our best.

Narrator: These youngsters are impressive. Am I old or young?

Rulli: You will be reborn 10 times, guiding a hero each time. 10 × 100 = 1000 years. Obtain special attributes and recognition from heroes. Best of luck.

Narrator: No name, no partner, I am doomed. Mr. Rulli, disqualify me, please.

Rulli: Sorry, old man. You possess the great sage attribute. At 70, still a virgin, you are a great sage, but at the lowest level. It’s a miracle.

Narrator: What about my name?

Rulli: It will come. Get ready to recreate. Our seven great Patriarchs are here.

Narrator: The Dark Faction Patriarchs feel so familiar. Why do you feel so familiar? Are you not my mother? I want to hug her.

Other Leaders: How dare you touch our Patriarchs!

Narrator: Mother, I miss you so much.

Darkness: Boy, I am not your mother. Come to your senses; you are just a fragment.

Other Leaders: Get lost!

Darkness: Stop. He can call me mother.

Darkness: I am a fragment of many things. Perhaps a part of me resonates with your memories. Focus on your task. It’s just a name here. Back to your place or be disqualified. Find the light and darkness within you.

Narrator: It's just... seeing you brought back so many emotions.

Darkness: Use those emotions. They might help you survive in this competition.

Narrator: I'll try. It's just hard to shake off the feeling.

Darkness: Feelings can be a source of strength. Embrace them.

Ashura, Indra, Soha: What a fool. He is just an old geezer with no body, no name, just a silly attribute.

Alisha: Why does my heart ache? I feel happiness and sorrow. Who is he?

Rulli: Your first mission is set in the old era. Prepare for transport!

Narrator: The light around us intensifies, and I feel my essence being pulled into a different time and place.

Darkness: Remember, only by embracing both light and dark can you find your true power.

Narrator: As I am enveloped in a blinding light, a sudden realization hits me—this is only the beginning. The fate of countless dimensions rests on our shoulders, and failure is not an option.

Ashura: I won't let anyone stand in my way. I'm destined to lead.

Indra: We'll see about that, Ashura. My magic will prove superior.

Alisha: Stay close, Indra. We need to trust each other.

Soha: Ashura, focus on the mission. We can't afford to let personal ambitions cloud our judgment.

Narrator: Amidst the chaos, I hear a faint whisper in my mind. "Find the key, unlock the truth." And then, everything goes black.

Narrator: I open my eyes to find myself in a vast, ancient battlefield, with the sounds of clashing swords and cries of warriors echoing around me. The first trial of Fate Zero has begun.

Narrator: Little do we know; this mission will test not only our strength and strategy but also our very souls. And as the dust settles, the true nature of our existence will be unveiled.
