I'm back people and I have re written this, I can't say it'll be better than the previous one, but all I can do is hope, some changes have been done, but not that many. I deleted the old one because I want to start anew with the reviews and stuff, also, if you didn't see this in the summary, this is a self insert, do not read if you hate self inserts. If you have any questions you want to ask, just message me. I also apologize to those who have had reviews removed from the previous story because I was too immature or too stubborn to accept the opinions of others, for that I apologize.
With that out of the way, enjoy.
Thanking Silius1 for Beta reading the prologue.
Prologue
The year is 20XX. On a mysterious continent known simply as Gamindustri; it was divided into four nations, each with its own goddess to protect all those who worshiped them. These four lands were called Planeptune, Lastation, Leanbox and Lowee. Each of these landmasses has a goddess to protect them. These goddesses are known as Purple Heart, Black Heart, White Heart and Green Heart.
A young teenager named Ryoichi Osamu with red eyes and red hair, a black shirt, a red jacket big enough to reach just below his knees with symbols on the back which had faded and had parts missing, black pants that were a bit baggy and some sneakers with blades in hand, was in the army of his Kingdom of Planeptune to fight the opposition of the monsters that exist outside the city. He possesses magic that he could use for battle. He eventually regretted this decision as, while he was out of the city with some other soldiers, the kingdom he had lived in was ravaged by a horde of monsters, human corpses lying everywhere with no life in sight instead of those disgusting monsters. He was infuriated beyond belief and desired revenge, with him going on a rampage slaughtering each monster he saw. This led to a quick battle where he had the blood of so many on his hands.
"This isn't enough...I must kill them all!" He thought with the words of slaughter constantly repeating in his head with a blood lust for the monsters that killed so many innocent civilians.
"I'LL DESTROY ALL OF THEM!" He yelled, paving a way through all of the monsters he's fighting.
He went to the demon's stronghold, killing all that stood in his way and was now standing in front of the drawbridge. He took his two swords out and sliced the drawbridge to pieces. He jumped over the moat into the stronghold of the monsters and took them by surprise. They all had their weapons drawn, ready to kill this pitiful human. Unfortunately they didn't know how powerful he was and were all slaughtered with no mercy, he continued until he had reached the demon lord with cuts on his body and was bleeding rather strongly
"WHY?! WHY DID YOU KILL THEM!" He yelled to the demon lord.
The demon lord was about the same height and looked around the same age, he wore a black cloak, black shirt and baggy pants, he dressed similar to Ryoichi except there was another difference, with that being he had small horns on his head. But Ryoichi didn't care about this, he only cared about revenge.
"Why you ask, because they were a nuisance, a thorn in my side, nothing else" He says without even blinking. "And it was fun as hell killing them all, their screams were so beautiful, I had to kill them!" He laughs hysterically after he says that.
"YOU DISGUSTING BASTARD, YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS, YOU DIE NOW!" He shouts, charging at him with two blades in hand ready to kill.
It was barely a battle with the demon lord being weaker than Ryoichi had imagined; dealing a fatal blow in one look in the demon lord's eyes as he was dying had one little secret to tell: Ryoichi figured even though he was practically evil, he thought that everyone deserved last words even though he hated his entire existence.
"I had no such powers, I was using rumours to control the demons from behind the scenes making it look like I had such power but I didn't lie about killing them, it was fun while it lasted…" He coughed out a bit of blood at the end.
He stabbed his chest with one of the swords out of pure anger making sure that he was dead and now all that anger and hate was now gone and all that was left was emptiness.
"I guess he was hoping I'd get scared and run away at the thought of facing him" He said slowly with no emotion in his voice.
He got up, walked outside of the now abandoned castle and looked up at the sky with no emotions, only an empty look in his eyes still holding onto his blades that were bathed in the blood of demons. The blade in his right hand was a deep red katana, the one in his left was a blue sword and both had magical markings on the hilt of them. The blue one disappeared while he put the other in its sheath.
"They're all gone, each and every single person...please someone help me, I don't want to be alone" He says quietly while sobbing with no one left to comfort him, as a very large majority of people in the city have been killed in the attack and if there are any survivors, they clearly are not showing themselves anytime soon.
He went back to his now destroyed home and took a rest hoping it was all a bad dream by the time he woke up and slept. The next morning he woke up knowing that it wasn't a dream and faced the harsh reality. That day he buried all of his fallen comrades and mourned for them while sobbing.
After he did this, he recognized that it was night time, with him going to what's left of his house and falling asleep. He woke up in the middle of the night just staring at the sky and hoping that someone could save him from this harsh reality. He felt sleepy after he had thought this and fell asleep, not able to stop himself from all of the events that he has been through the last few days. During his sleep he heard a voice and saw a girl with light purple hair a hoodie, two d-pad clips in her hair and USB cords as strings from the front of her light purple hoodie. She was just a bit shorter than he was in height and had a choker around her neck.
"It's dark… like, pitch black. Where am I? Was there a power outage? Wh-Where's the circuit breaker?!" The girl says in confusion.
"But why am I glowing like I've been splashed with fluorescent pain and stuck under a black light?"
"I wonder who she is and why she is saying that, I don't wanna talk to her, but she is the only one here other than me." He thought. "Um, excuse me but do you know where we are right now or what we're doing here by any chance?" He asks the girl.
"Kyaa! Don't scare me like that, you could have gave me a heart attack!" She suddenly screams, causing Ryoichi to back off a bit.
"Ah! Don't just suddenly scream like that, you just scared me!"
"Back to my question, do you know where we are or why we're here?"
"Nope, do you?" She answered back nearly instantly.
"Then why did you think I asked the question in the first place?" He says back to her.
She was about to answer when Ryoichi said "That's rhetorical, you don't have to answer" He says to her. "Anyways…We need to figure out where we are and why"
"Okay, let's move around a bit, but, ew. Who knows what I could step in…? It could be something like ABC gum!"
"Really, you're worried about gum, but not about where we are or why we're here." He says that while face palming thinking about the stupidity of those lines she just spouted out.
"Well when you say it like that it sounds stupid, but I don't wanna to step in gum because it's nasty and gross!"
"I apologize for the delay, Have you been here long?" A heavenly voice appears out of nowhere.
"Whoa, a voice… I hear a voice! Delay for what? My soul to go to heaven? N-No! I don't wanna die yet!" She says frantically.
"We're not going to heaven, last I checked my heart was still beating, so we're not going to heaven are we, Ms. heavenly voice?" He asks while remaining calm.
"Please, stop being so confused. I did not intend to scare you with my words, you won't be going to heaven or anything like that" She says while trying to keep the girl calm.
"I am Histoire, a tome. You have fallen to the world below Celestia. I am reaching out to you to ask a favour."
"A t-t-t-tomb? I knew it! I'm so dead! What do I want on my tombstone, right? Uhhh, what world below? Below what? Below...hell?!" She says that while panicking.
"She said tome, not tomb you idiot!" He says back to her angrily.
"I'm not an idiot, alright!" She yells back quickly at that statement.
"Not from what I've seen, from what I've heard come out of your mouth, all you appear to me is an idiot" he replies back to her.
She's about to retaliate when the Heavenly voice interrupts.
"Please Neptune. Take a deep breath. You have not died. You have merely fallen unconscious." Says the heavenly voice
"See, told you so." Ryoichi said in a proud voice, with him smirking in contentment.
"Okay, don't have to tell me twice, jeez" She sighed as she says this "…Then Ms Heavenly voice, how do you know my name?"
"You're name is Neptune huh, that's a weird name for a girl"
"Oh, thanks" She says back to him with a naive smile.
"That wasn't a compliment; my name is Ryoichi Osamu by the way, nice to meet ya." He extends his hand out to shake hers.
"Nice to meet ya and what do you mean that wasn't a compliment?" She asks while shaking his hand until the voice cut in.
"I know you are in doubt, but I am Histoire, the tome that has assisted the goddesses of Celestia for generations. I am the world's everything and the world is my everything. There is nothing I do not know." She says that, but Ryoichi finds it a bit hard believing it. "Plus I created you. Of course I know your name." She says with a happy attitude.
"So, you like, gave birth to me or whatever. You're my mom? You've got kids? I see."
"So you're her mom huh." Ryoichi rubs his head the moment he heard that line from her mouth.
"Do… Do not make it sound like that. I created, not birthed. Why do you have such a disappointed tone?" Histoire says while stuttering. "I understand this is a new sensation for you. I have been apart from you all for ages, locked away from this world."
"You're right, this is a new sensation to me, no one has ever contacted me through my dreams before." Ryoichi says with a small amount of disbelief
"Ryo, I guess you're right there" Neptune says quickly as a response
She says Ryo as if it's a nickname and hopes that he heard wrong.
"Oh, okay, I get it now. So my dad locked you up and ran away with me soon after I was born? Since you're my mom, and you're talking to me here, does that mean he is like my long lost brother?"
"No, I'm pretty sure I'm not your brother, or at least I don't think so according to my memory?"
"Oh bummers, I was hoping you were something cool, but you're not, you're clearly just some NPC"
"Hey! I'm not some NPC...I think" He replies to Neptune. "My god, I've been here for five minutes and it's taking a toll on my mental condition" He says that with a hand to his face.
"What do you mean mental condition Ryo?" Neptune asks.
"Let me explain" He says that until Histoire interrupts
"You are taking this in an entirely inappropriate direction. I clearly said it was not like that" Histoire says that quickly trying to clear up the misunderstanding.
"I created you and the other three CPUs with the former goddess. That was however, a dire error."
"I only wish to end the tragedy caused by my own mistake. Please help me!" Right after Histoire asks this, Neptune disappears.
"Shit! She just disappeared into thin air… Please don't kill me Histoire!" He asks jokingly, feigning fear.
"Why would you think that in the first place?!" Histoire says while being surprised "Don't worry, she has just merely woken up."
"Relax, I was joking, I know that we're dreaming." He says while laughing.
"Now I can talk to you freely. Putting it simply, I must ask something of you."
"Yeah, sure, what do I have to do?" He asks her.
"Really?! I've asked so many others, but none of them trusted me, so why are you accepting it?"
"I don't see why not, may as well help." Ryo says.
"Oh thank you so much!" She asks with joy.
"Don't bother thanking me, so what do I have to do?"
"Oh, um yes, I want you to help Neptune in her quest and also, um… I will have to move you from your world to the world of Gamindustri, you don't have to accept if you don't have to"
"I'm still doing it. How am I meant to help her?" He asks.
"It will all be explained in due time, but I will explain who Neptune is and where you will be going."
"Okay then, wait will this be a long story."
"The story is a bit long."
"I wish I had a chair or something to sit on while listening. Oh well, proceed." Ryoichi sighs since he has to stand and listen to this speech.
"Since this is a dream, if you think about it, it will appear" Histoire says.
"Oh, that's good to know, please continue." He says while pulling out a chair with his thoughts and sitting down.
"I will be sending you to Gamindustri, a world with four floating landmasses called Planeptune, Lastation, Lowee and Leanbox."
"Did you just say Planeptune?!" Ryoichi asks in shock, with him originating from Planeptune Kingdom.
"Ah! Yes as a matter of fact I did, is something wrong?"
"No, sorry, it's nothing, proceed."
"I will continue then. Each landmass has a Goddess protecting each one, Planeptune has Purple Heart, Lastation has Black Heart, Lowee has White Heart and Leanbox has Green Heart."
"Yea, okay, keep going."
"The four Goddesses had a war in a place above Gamindustri which is called Celestia."
"So Celestia is like Heaven in Gamindustri"
"I guess it is in a way, next this war was called the Console War where the Goddess' fought each other until one would remain which would make her the one true Goddess of Gamindustri."
"So generally they're just fighting to rule all of Gamindustri right?" He sighs at the fact of hearing this.
"Yes, it is, somehow they got the idea that they were to become the true Goddess by killing each other."
"Wait, I want to know something very important, why did you make four Goddesses in the first place, you already had one Goddess." He asks in confusion, as to why they would do something like this.
"The former Goddess thought of this as a counter measure so she wouldn't abuse her powers."
"Oh I see. She must have been very wise. Anyway, Now how does Neptune fit into all of this?" He asks.
"Neptune is one of the Goddesses. She is Purple Heart, the Goddess of Planeptune."
"Oh, Neptune is one of the Goddesses huh." He says.
"Why do you not seem surprised? If I had told anyone else they would have been surprised so why aren't you?" Histoire asks.
"You wouldn't lie to me; anything you say is probably the truth." He replies.
"That tone, you say that as if you don't care" Histoire says.
"The reasoning for why is something I'll tell you if we ever meet, now continue with the explanation" he replies
"Oh, yes, Neptune was defeated by the other three Goddesses and she fell of Celestia and is now on Planeptune."
"Alright then Histoire if that's what you say." Sighing as he says that.
"Now Histoire, I have a question of extreme importance I must ask you."
"Yes what is it Ryoichi."
"Please answer honestly, am I going to stay sane after this?" He asked her
Histoire didn't answer for a minute.
"Probably?" Histoire responds sheepishly.
"Even the world's everything doesn't know the answer, I guess I'll find that out along the way" He says sighing afterwards. "Now send me there, I don't have anything left there anyway" He says with sadness.
"What do you mean by that?' Histoire asks.
"Nothing, but when you send me there, make sure I'm not going to be in pain when I arrive" He says with a fake smile avoiding her question.
"I can't promise that Ryoichi, I'm sorry, but I'm sending you a few minutes before Neptune hits the ground."
"So she's falling right now?' Ryo asks.
"Yes, I'm sending you there early so that nothing disastrous happens before then, may you get there safely" She says.
"Wait, disastrous, what do you mean by that Histoire? Tell me damn it" He said before a light envelopes him.
"Damn, I can't see anything." He closed his eyes to find that he was waking up.
