PART I: Premise

Deep in the Archives of the Academy, there exists a rather curious and mysterious book. A chronicle of events, past, present, and future, this tome appears within the Archives at an unknown and unspecified period. The accuracy of it is doubted, though there are some that have proposed it to have been written by a man with the Alice of being able see into different time periods and dimensions. Considering the prose, the tome is likely to have been written in the early twentieth/ late nineteenth century, with a fixed orthography that is highly definitive of that time period.

What is noteworthy about this log is that it also accounts for a variety of worlds and alternate dimensions. The tome is largely a collection of stories from this world and the dimensions and various other worlds beyond it.

In it, of course, there are many stories of chivalry, love, and war, amongst others. A 'Tree of Life' of sorts, it is in this book that one may find the curious tale of Tsubasa Andou in a world rather distant from ours.

Being a student enrolled in our Academy at present, this represents a particularly intriguing case in that the 'Tsubasa' in this old tale lived in an alternate dimension nearly five hundred years ago, and the fact that his story is one of the more detailed accounts of a world in an alternate dimension would make it appropriate if this specific tale is inspected in greater detail.

As such, this account shall be added to the official files for the scholars in this Academy to study in order to broaden general knowledge about alternate worlds/dimensions.
