.hack//INTRODUCTION
Sa, minna! Kitsune-chan here, ready to explain this story. Please pay attention.
The story of this fanfiction is told from the point of view of Balmung during all of the occurances in the .hack storyline that he is present for. This is as accurate as it gets as far as events goes. However, I added my personal twist to the point of view of Balmung-san. I assure you all that if I offend anyone with such ideas, I apologize sincerely. However, if you read this warning summary and still send me flames, I will point and laugh at you because you have absolutely no life.
That being said, some of my personal twists on the story may be offensive to readers. The main offenses will be mentions of a shounen-ai relationship between Balmung and another character (Kite). The hints towards the pairing will also be evident within the work. It will not be too graphic, nor too focused. Those who don't have much of a problem with yaoi relationships will not have a problem with this story. True yaoi fans may be a bit disappointed to find what little love there is in the pairing. As for the homophobes, I again point and laugh.
There may also be some character bashing, but I mean it only in good fun. I love all of the .hack characters and I have nothing personal against any of them.
The only section of .hack that had Balmung in it that I will not include in this story is the .hack//LEGEND OF THE TWILIGHT BRACELET anime. I personally did not enjoy the anime, due to the happy feel of the show and the complete split from the original mood of the other stories. The storyline of the anime is too farfetched and too cliché, in my opinion, and Balmung is very sourly out of character. Again, I apologize if I've offended anyone by saying that. I will, however, include the storyline of the .hack//LEGEND OF THE TWILIGHT BRACELET manga, since I am more comfortable with that side of Shugo's story.
Supposedly for .hack//ROOTS and .hack//G.U., the original data for The World is destroyed in a fire, meaning no Balmung. There is an Azure Balmung, which is a wandering AI of sorts. If I find that the original Balmung redesigned his character in ROOTS or GU (as Piros did), then I will include those chapters as well. Until it is certain, I will leave the story hanging at the end. Sorry if I made my little fic seem even more cheesy now.
Alright! There's all of my apologies. I won't say sorry any more. I will only include a small warning label at the top of the page for those who are sticklers and those who refused to read my intro paragraph. Please be patient with me--I am a slow writter and I do have school to work on. It may be a while, and the chapters will not come in order. I will organize them as I go. The chapters should be ordered as such (but may not be posted in this order):
00 - FRAGMENT
01 - AI BUSTER
02 - SIGN
03 - INFECTION
04 - MUTATION
05 - OUTBREAK
06 - QUARENTINE
07 - UNISON
08 - DUSK
Thank you for reading, and enjoy my story! If you have a comment, please let me know. That is, of course, if it's not a bunch of bull. Favs will be loved, and Flames will be laughed at.
