NOTE: Because this is a really overarching X-overs fanfic and more of a personal project, there's not going to be any real mention of where any non-original characters are from. Other stories and games in here are only canon to a point (chronologically) so well-rounded knowledge is recommended. There's a lot in here.
Seriously though- look up anything you don't understand. Don't worry, none of it is that cancerous (although it'll probably be fairly obscure.)
Now then- let's start with a Monday.
Chapter 1: Mondays
*beepbeep! beepbeep! beepb-*
*THUD*
Just another Monday. Maybe worse than most, considering I'd just fallen out of bed.
I drowsily changed into a t-shirt and jeans and made my way downstairs to be interrupted by my sister crashing downstairs after me.
She yelled, "I'm gonna be late!" I realized if she was late, that meant I must've set my alarm incorrectly and was already absent from my first class.
After enduring a lightspeed nagging session by my math teacher, I made my way to my next few classes and managed to lose my wallet, fall down a flight of stairs and drop my homework in the hall. I finally had a moment of peace and quiet during lunch…
And then a giant chunk of rock sprouted out of the ground, making me drop my lunch.
As I was mourning the loss of my grilled cheese, the rock started glowing. Before I had time to think about why a rock would be glowing or in the middle of my cafeteria in the first place, I was knocked over by a gust of… wind? Magic? I don't really know, but I don't think it really mattered at that point. (In hindsight, my grilled cheese was probably a stupid thing to worry about at that moment. My first priority is food, ok?)
Judging by the then-current chain of events, I'd decided I had a very slim chance of getting out of the lunchroom without being in a bodybag.
Then she appeared, and I dropped those chances down to zero.
Izanami. Japanese goddess of creation, and remade in far too many games to count. This time, it was from the mobile game Monster Strike.
As one of the hardest monsters to get in-game, I knew this was no laughing matter. I tried to quietly leave, but ended up slipping on my grilled cheese.
Dammit.
She turned as I fell and gave me a quick once-over, then broke into a smug grin. "You'll do." "For what?" I asked with a sinking feeling in my stomach. "Don't question me," she said as she glared. "I could wipe out your puny little life force with a blink. You're going to take this package and deliver it to me." A briefcase looking suspiciously like TF2 intel popped out of thin air and landed in front of me. I carefully raised it in one hand, trying to comprehend what was happening.
"...I've got a bad feeling about this," I said. "Am I supposed to take this somewhere?"
She smirked. "Take this through the route I give you and deliver it.
Also, I set a bounty on you to spur your progress- some hunters should be arriving soon."
"...wait, what the- WHY ME?!"
She gave me a knowing smile. "Why you, indeed."
With those words she disappeared, and a portal opened up where she'd been standing.
I stood there for a moment like an idiot, and took a deep breath. "Guess I'll just go…" I took a few steps forward, then a voice piped up from behind me- "THAT 10 BILLION EC IS MINE!" I turned around to the sight of a salvo of rockets careening towards my face. "GAHHHHHHH!" Tripping over my feet, I fell backwards.
If I'd wanted to quit at that point, it was too late- I stumbled through the portal into another world.
