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?Love what you''re reading? Discover and support the author on the platform they originally published on.


    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.
