Hello, readers
This my very first fic, so please go easy on me...
Anyway, since no one knows what my OC looks like, I'll tell y'all
He has black messy hair and black eyes, he wears a black zipped up parka over a white shirt, blue jeans and brown sneakers, he also wears a rosary
Why is he wearing it, I'm not telling anyone because that'll spoil the surprise
His personality, you'll find out eventually
Anyway, the whole fic will be in chronological order, meaning it'll be from mk2 to VII, and if you think the first game is part of it, then you're wrong
Also, I don't own the Neptunia series, just my OC
There will be a lot of references of many games, just like in the series
Without further a due, the story begins
A dream...
No, something feels off, like I've been here and at the same time I haven't
When I looked around, the only
things I see are that huge eerie tower with screens on it, a sky that looks like it's been covered by darkness, some game consoles and oversized controllers, except that most, if not all, have been abandoned and forgotten... At least that's what I think
I look further from this "console graveyard", and I found five women, entangled, by some sort of wires
Before I could do anything, I hear
a laughter from behind, and I feel a chill on my spine
"finally! I've been really bored for a while and now I found someone to kill"
(A mechanical voice?)
When I turn around, a giant robot already swung its gigantic double-sided halberd at me
"AH!"
I got up quickly in my bed from
that nightmare and looked around my room
I sighed in relief "good, that was just a dream"
A soon as got off my bed and ate my breakfast, which is just toasted bread, nothing much, a pigeon flew right at my window, which I notice right away that its carrying a message
"is this for me?"
I took the piece of paper from the carrier pigeon and let it fly away
It said...
come to the church immediately
And with that, I change to my usual clothes and left
Along the way, some guys have cornered a little girl, who's wearing a sleeveless summer dress and sandals, in an alley.
(Not if I can help it)
I head straight to one of the thugs, patted his shoulder
"huh? Who the fuck are you?!"
I immediately punched one of the thugs, which, honestly, wasn't a good idea since they turn their attention to me
"oh you are so dead, man"
"come then" I taunted as I take a fighting stance "I'll make you all taste the ground for trying to harm a little girl" of course, one
by one, they come after me
The first one tried to punch me, but grab his arm and thrown him to the ground, following up with a punch to the face. Another tried to do the same but ended the same way
One of the thugs try to grab me, but I grab him instead and throw him towards his buddies, which staggered them to the wall
One of those guys grab a nearby lead pipe and try to hit me, I disarm him, by bending his elbow,
and hit him with the pipe
"what the fuck is wrong with you idiots?! He's just one guy" a thug shouts in an angry tone
(that must be the leader)
I zoom in on the ringleader and, immediately, I swing the lead pipe at the thug's head, crashing him to the ground
More thugs are coming in to my direction
(I guess I was wrong)
"come on, kill this asshole" the thugs now pull out their knives
The girl is shaking, afraid that I'm gonna be killed. I pat her and gave her a smile "don't worry, I won't die. Have faith in me" I said as grip the pipe tightly
The girl nodded, I take a kenjutsu stance, I close my eyes and breath in
"get him!" one of the thugs
shouted
As soon as they charge at me, I breath out and let my eyes open, this time it is crimson in color. I zoom in at the thug in front, thrust the pipe at his abdomen and swipe at his head, the rest of the thugs surround me but it is too little, too late
They all thrust their knives at me, I smirk and cast "Repel!" an unknown force broke some of the knives, others are blown away. As they are surprise at what
happen, I knock all of them down with the pipe... Almost
A thug aim his gun at me "look out, mister" the girl shouts. the thug shoots me, but I block each bullet with the pipe. As soon as he ran out of ammo, I zoom in and hit him with the pipe
"I hope you people learn your lesson" I said as I drop the pipe
"the next time you do this, it'll be more than just a beating"
"come on, run away" one of thugs
said in fear and ran away along with rest that I knock down
I sighed and look at the girl "are you okay, little one?"
The girl nods "uh-huh thank you, mister"
"are you lost?" I question
The girl shakes her head "nuh-uh, my big brother told me to go to the church"
"alone? That's dangerous!" I said
in shock "it is a good thing that I notice but please don't do that again"
The girl cries "*sniff* I-I'm sorry... I just... *sniff* I just wanna see my big brother"
"it's okay, don't cry" I said "How about we go to the church together?"
The girl looks at me in surprise "huh? Really?"
I nodded "yep, I am going there
myself"
"thank you, mister" the girl smiled at me
"so what's your name?" I ask
"my name is Marie. And you, mister?"
"my name is Yuri, it's good to meet you"
Marie giggles "your name sounds girly"
I dryly laugh "I get that a lot. So
let's go"
Marie and I are on our way to the church
(I'm curious about Marie's brother)
"is your brother gonna be a priest?" I ask Marie
"nuh-uh, he's gonna become a Paladin"
(I see, so he must be a new recruit)
"are you a Paladin too, Mr. Yuri?"
"just Yuri is fine, and yes, I am a Paladin" I said as I look away "But I no longer wield my sword anymore"
Marie looks at me in confusion "what do you mean by that?"
I look back at Marie and smiled "it's better that you don't know"
"aaaawwwww" Marie pouted
We arrive at the church, which looks more like a cathedral. Marie is surprised looking at how big it is
"so this is the church?"
"believe it or not, it is"
I open the door for Marie, I said to her "after you, young lady" and she entered, I followed after I close the door.
Marie looks amazed at the inside. Although I've been here so many
times before the Hellgate was sealed, there is still that nostalgic air that I feel. Although, this may sound boring to some people, what I like most in here the choir
("Too bad I can't listen to that now")
"well, if it isn't Yuri the Legend," a blonde Paladin in silver armor says, who is coming in from the left hallway
"how many times have I told you never to call me that, Michael?" I
said in annoyed tone. of course, he laughed
"sorry, I cannot help it."
"um, Yuri, who is that?" Marie asks
"that's Michael, commander of the Paladins and a total teaser"
"hey, is that last part necessary?"
Both Marie and I laughed
"speaking of Paladins, is my brother around? His name is
Keith" Marie asks again
(Keith, why does that name sound familiar)
"oh, you mean that guy?" Michael answers "he's preparing himself for the Rite"
"really? Can I see him?"
"sure, you'll find him nearby"
"thank you" Marie then walks off to find her brother
"why were you speaking in that ridiculous tone" I said to Michael
"I'm mearly trying to make her understand me, and you did the same too"
I shrugged "okay, but why am I here for? To attend the ceremony?"
"it is a necessity. You should have know that as a Paladin" Michael says in a monotone voice
"to hear their oath"
"yes..." I stood in silence, thinking about the recruits, but Michael broke that with a question
"are you sure that you don't want to take up your sword anymore?"
I gave Michael a serious look "I can't return anymore, after everything that has happened... That sword's purpose is done"
"I understand, I won't condemn you from your mundane life" says Michael "You deserve it after
what you've done for Humanity"
The bell tolls, the Paladin's Rite must be starting
"the ceremony is about to begin. Let's go, my friend"
"yes, let's go" I said after breaking off the seriousness
After the whole ceremony, and had some talk with the priests and the recruits, I went home
(I wonder why Marie and her
brother didn't come to talk to me, how odd)
On the way back, I'm being contacted, magically "hello, who is it?" I ask as stop walking
"hello, Yuri, it's been so long" a woman's voice answers
"Haruka, I'm surprised to hear your voice"
"it's nice to hear your voice too, my little brother"
"so, how've you been, big sister?"
Haruka sighs "I've been worse"
"what do you mean?"
"being in a magic academy is not easy, with all the training and competitions"
"oh, I get it" I said " but will you be alright?"
"I'll be fine. What about you, though?" she asks "you've been alone for 10 years"
"I've been living as best I could, so do not worry too much"
"I see" she sighs in relief "I got to go now, I'll be contacting you in another time"
"okay, good bye for now" with that farewell, she cut off our communication, I continue walking back home
As soon as enter my house, I grab my handheld console
I know what everyone is thinking 'Why do I have it even though I'm religious?' Well, I have a mundane life, so don't make it complicating
But something's weird about it. As soon as I load up a game, a question is brought out.
(okay, that's gotta be weird. But I sense no demonic power in this... Odd)
I didn't want to read it, but something tells me that I have no
choice.
It said:
Will you save Gamindustri?
(yes) (no)
Gamindustri? As in the game's world, that isn't possible. The more I stare at the question, the more it feels like the demons are playing with my head
Then again, since there is no demonic power, it no more than a cry for help
Before I get dramatic, I press yes
Then, the screen turn white, and more words are placed in.
It says:
Thank you for accepting. Although, there will dangers looming around, you will meet people that will help along the way
Please, save the CPUs
The screen start turning brighter, engulfing me as I lose
consiousness
