Confusion, that was the first thing I felt. I was laying down in a forest for some reason, with no memory of how I got there… No memories of anything to be quite honest. As I lied upon the ground and looked around, I realized I was in a clearing.

Shortly after this realization, I heard a sweet voice calling "Hellooooo? Shoooting staaaaar?" Thus once again I felt great confusion. A few seconds after hearing that, the owner of the voice stumbled into the clearing. It was a girl with short pink hair, wearing a sweater, plaid skirt, thigh high socks, and a choker.

My confusion continued to grow as I saw the girl run over to me "Are you okay mister?" she asked me.

I thought about the question for a few seconds, and slowly sat up finally "Yes I'm fine actually, just wondering where I am" I replied.

The girl blinked a few times, before tilting her head to the side "You don't know where this is? This is Virtua Forest"

Something that had once again confused me "And where would that be?" I asked, thinking that if I heard a name I knew I would remember something. The girl just looked at me with a confused expression.

"Planeptune of course" she answered… Nothing came to me, I guess hoping to remember something this early was too good to be true.

"I see, that doesn't ring any bells… I can't even remember where I'm from it seems…"

This just so happens to get a reaction out of the girl "You can't remember where you came from mister? Well, do you remember anything? If you remember something, we might be able to find out where you're from" she said.

I held my head in my hand as I thought as hard as I could about anything I could possibly remember, a machine of sorts coming to mind after a couple of minutes "I remember… some sort of machine."

This seemed to get a reaction out of the girl "A machine? Hmm… maybe you're from Lastation then, they have lots of machines there"

I didn't remember anything from hearing the name, but maybe going there will help "That might be it, could you point me in the direction of Lastation miss... "

"Oh, my name's Compa! You'll need to go to the Basilicom so you can get registered so you can go to Lastation though, the Basilicom should be that way!" she said, pointing in a specific direction.

I began to walk in said direction before turning around and waving at her "Thanks for the help Compa!" and walking off, smiling after hearing a cheerful "You're welcome!"

Thank you for reading the first chapter of Shifted Origins, though, this isn't really the entire chapter I'd say. I've just been really wanting to post this for a while, since the creativity for Through the Looking-Glass has kinda run out for now. Anyways, I'll be uploading what I have done for now as the first chapter, and decide next week if I should make it bigger, or just make a new chapter... hopefully the former. On another note, feedback is appreciated and most welcome, I really love feedback to be honest, so feel free to leave a review if you feel like it. Constructive criticism is also welcome, since I'm constantly trying to improve my writing ability. Finally, I could use some help setting up this story's format so it's not all just one big jumbled word wall, so if anyone is willing to help, just PM me. Alright, that wraps this Author Note up, see you all next week as I try to get this story really going with everything I have in mind!

Edit: I changed the formatting a bit, hopefully this makes it better to read. Also, I know that it's short, though, I really just wanted to get this chapter out so I can start myself off. If you guys would like me to continue, please say so. The reminders that people are actively waiting for me to continue should keep me from just abandoning this story like I usually do, though this time I absolutely do not want to abandon this story. I'm not holding the story hostage for reviews by the way, I'm just trying to find ways to keep me updating, since I know how I do things. Finally, since I didn't say it before, this story takes place in the Re;Birth1 canon. Though, I will try to not go with just canon through the entire story, since an added person can change just about anything on accident even. I have plans to continue this story all the way to the end of Megadimension too, so please look forward to later installments when I get this one finished, if that ever happens that is. I already have several ideas for what I'm gonna do with this story, but if you ever have suggestions of your own, feel free to speak up. I love hearing ideas, and while I may not use them, they can sometimes help me form my own ideas(in which case I'll try to give thanks to those who's ideas helped me form my own). Just no super crazy ideas please.
