Hey everyone, Bropower125 here, probably not going to spend much time talking beforehand, I'll do that after.

Most people in tough situations run and hide, others fight in adversity, whoever you are there are always 3 sides, Good, Evil, and the morally Grey. Each has their standards, some don't. Some think they are one when they are in truth, another.

Each has their purpose, whether they know it or not, or whether they've given up their purpose, they will always eventually be forced to continue it even if they don't want to.

This is how our story starts…

Beep Beep Beep

A groan sounded as an electronic alarm sounded off waking up someone who groaned and tried to roll back over to sleep only for the alarm to continue on and keep them from their well needed beauty rest.

Soon enough the alarm managed to get its owner out of bed resulting in a groan coming from said alarm owner who then rolled out of bed and turned off the alarm and headed to the bathroom to prepare for the day.

As the person looked into the bathroom mirror one could see that they had brown hair which reached down to their shoulders with an extremely skinny nearly underweight masculine build. Along with their gray eyes came a pale complexion which was 'defaced' by the crows feet around his eyes betraying a lack of sleep on more than one occasion as they were there to stay, permanently. Soon enough the teen grabbed a purple and white toothbrush and began to brush their teeth, noting they needed to brush them a bit better in the future as they were beginning to yellow again.

After brushing his teeth he grabbed a comb and straightened out his hair which was sticking up in nearly every direction almost as if he had been electrocuted, of course he hadn't but it damn well looked like it. After combing it he parted it over his one eye while it fell down over the other completing the look. He then threw out a yawn and stretched his arms and legs away from his torso as far as he could until it was almost painful to do so before he finally relented and felt his blood rushing. He quickly dabbed on some deoderant and washed his face before heading back to his room and taking off his black tee shirt and blue and white plaid pajama's before putting on a white tank top and a faded blue pair of jeans to which he called his 'comfy jeans' as they felt almost like pajama's themselves. He then headed out to the kitchen which had a turqouise checker pattern tiled floor and an oval-shaped wooden table which took up almost all the space in the kitchen as he prepared a balognie and cheese sandwich and ate it before putting on a golden yellow sweater which his uncle had bought him for christmas before walking out of the door, failing to notice a lack of family when he woke up.

As he walked towards school he had one thing on his mind, 'I hate school'. However as he walked and noticed not only the lack of vehicles and people at seven in the morning he noticed none of the street lights were working and this caused him some concern, normally at seven there were at least a few people out who tended to get up so early just to make sure they weren't late.

Soon enough he reached the school that he was heading towards the entire time and noticed something very odd. The very air around it was distorted and as he looked upon he gasped.

Was this why nobody was around? What happened to all the people?

He continued asking question for a very short time as soon the distortion grew in size as he tried to run away noticing the oncoming anomaly only to be nowhere fast enough due to his frail un-athletic body.

Soon he was swallowed whole by the distortion.

What a strange dream…

The boy thought as he woke only to realize something. There was grass tickling his nose, and that wasn't right, if that was a dream why would he be out in the middle of a field unless he either walked somewhere in his sleep or was taken somewhere that most definitely was not his bed.

Quickly he stood up and sneezed before surveying his surroundings. It would seem that almost everywhere around him, except for where he was, was covered in snow, and soon enough the cold climate of 'wherever he was' slowly started to kick in as he began to shiver uncontrollably.

He definitely wasn't out of his element, snow was a regular part of life where he lived and everybody saw it at least once a year but this was different. It was supposed to be the middle of summer, so who was it snowing and easily below thirty degrees celcius?

He was just glad he had his sweater as it was the only thing keeping him from freezing to death so far, and even it wasn't enough to keep warmth for long.

He quickly scanned his surrounding and found something that looked vaguely like civilization before running right in it's direction. Did he mention the snow was ankle deep? Because it was, which meant it was hard to even run considering the fact he had on shoes rather than boots, even if he didn't wear boots anyways since they chafed on his legs.

As he got closer he realized what he thought was civilization was actually a bunch of huge fruits and vegetables. He was about to give up hope when suddenly he realized one of the huge fruits had a door on it.

Bless this cult of insane people who live inside of fruit, he thought as he ran into the town as people seemingly paid him no heed almost like he fit in too well.

Of which he was right, just about everyone around him had brown hair, his was in reality a very light brown, almost dirty blonde even, but it was enough that he looked eerily similar to everyone else around him. It was disconcerting but at the very least there were people around, unlike that dream he had earlier, however, now he was having doubts about it being a dream, after all, who the fuck lives inside of magical pumpkin houses? If he had to guess, he'd say someone like him ironically.

As he ran down the streets he almost forgot about how cold he was until he bumped into someone. This someone being easily a D Cup if not larger, another thing he had noticed, like ninety percent of people he had come across here were female.

The person he had run into had a beret on with an oddly C shaped button on the side along with an almost skintight blue uniform and had some brass knuckles on her hands which would give him nightmares to come for days, god only knows if he bumped into the wrong person today. This girl also had black sweat pants on which made him wonder how in the hell was she not cold.

As the girl landed she let out a little,

"Oof", as she landed on her derriere and looked up to see who bumped into her.

"Hey are you okay there?" The girl asked in an oddly boyish voice before extending a hand to help him up. He quickly accepted her offer and with her help got up off the ground.

The girl quickly took notice of the boys shivering before simply grabbing his hand and running off somewhere warmer while the boy struggled to even keep up.

Soon enough the two arrived at the girls destination which happened to look like a fucking palace to which he had a moment to gaze at before the girl started moving again dragging him along again.

Soon enough the two were inside and the boy couldn't help but let his teeth chatter for a bit before he finally warmed up.

"Oh, good. You're okay. For a moment there I thought you might freeze to death with how cold you looked. The name's C-Sha, hope we can get along" The girl who called herself C-Sha said before extending a hand towards the only other person in the entryway to the building.

The male quickly understanding what was going on grabbed her hand before shaking it and squeaking out,

"U-uh, m-my name i-is, G-Gray!" Gray shouted out in a sudden burst of confidence when saying his name. He didn't hesitate because he was cold but because he was somewhat shy and no one else he knew from his own world was anywhere in sight, causing him to lack his usual confidence.

"Why were you shivering like that? It's not that cold out there is it?" C-Sha asked Gray with a bit of intrigue.

"It had to have been like negative thirty out there and all I have is this sweater." Gray replies which caused C-Sha to put her fingers to her chin in a display of pensivity.

"Loweean's generally have a natural immunity to the cold though, well unless they aren't a native. Where do you come from then?" C-Sha asks the boy as she looks at him with utmost interest as if he were an anomaly himself.

"Two questions, the fuck is Lowee? Second, considering I've never heard of Lowee, am I even still on Earth?" As Gray looked at C-Sha her clear expression of confusion was all it took to confirm his fears. He was probably light years away from home at best.

"No, I've never heard of this 'Earth' and Lowee is the city you're in." C-Sha said before dismissing his fears like they were nothing.

C-Sha made a quick hand gesture which told Gray to follow her as she continued into the building and finally exited the entryway. He followed her seeing as she was his only lifeline at the moment and without her he'd be fucked sideways.

Soon enough the two stopped in front a large set of doors that were probably heavier than anyone could rationally conceive considering their humongous size. It was almost like someone was compensating.

"Wait here for a moment." C-Sha tells Gray who nods at C-Sha before she goes through the giant double doors and closes them with a thunderous boom.

A bit of shouting came from the other side before C-Sha finally came back out and led Gray inside, however the other person in the room was clearly none too happy about the situation.

Instantly he was yelled at,

"Who the fuck do you think you are, just coming here and interupting my writing!" The voice shouted at him which was quickly matched to a brown haired girl who was clearly irritated at the sudden lack of silence. Her vocabulary however, did not match how old she looked, that was for sure.

"Get outta here before I beat the shit out of you!" The girl shouted at him again. for whatever reason Gray had trouble keeping his cool when normally he is impossible to anger. This time however his anger came out as if he had never practiced keeping it down before and he burst like a dragon.

"Well, excuse me for fucking existing! Guess I'll just go the fuck back to whatever reality I came from! OH, wait! That's right, I can't!" Gray shouted losing his cool unlike ever before.

"Christ, what got into me, I've never gotten like that before." Gray said right after realizing he had straight up lost it.

However rather than be appauled it would seem the girl who had just been yelling at him seemingly no longer cared about whatever he had done to offend her originally. She simply picked up a phone dialed a number and said,

"I think I found your anomaly." She hung up right after and not too long afterwards Gray found himself on his way somewhere else. He could only wonder if he had her so angry she had gotten strangely calm or something to that effect.

At some point he had woken up not realizing he had fallen asleep only to realize he had again woken up somewhere completely foreign to him. He had the feeling this was going to turn into a running gag, and he did not like the prospect of that.

Suddenly he became aware however, that there were people around him and that the room he was in was very purple. Whoever decided to design the building used too much purple even for his tastes and it was one of his favorite colors.

He quickly began to hear a conversation that took place as the people around him looked at him with curiosity unlike he had ever seen.

"Definitely not of this world. He doesn't give off a trace of share energy which is not something you would ever see in this world unless you are sick." One of the people said, this particular voice came from a book floating around him.

At this point he decided getting up would be a good idea just to make sure they didn't decide to disect him or something to that effect. Soon enough they noticed he was awake and decided to finish up their chat, even though he only got a chance to see one person he could hear at least three different voices.

"You are finally awake, I guess it is as good of a time as ever to let you know what's going on even if you're a bit groggy right now." The floating book fairy told Gray as he slowly came to.

"I'm really far from home right? I guessed that one a while ago." Gray said as he tried not to internally worry about his own well being.

"You could say that, however it would be more accurate to say you aren't even in the same dimension anymore." To say that Gray was shocked was an understatement at the least.

"Considering the fact I'm void of any idea on how to survive in this world, explain to me how I'm not going to starve to death at some random curb?" Gray asked letting his survival instinct kick in just enough to start really thinking. He also noticed a lot of his earlier shyness had melted away much quicker than he anticipated, most likely due to his sudden outburst.

"We will let you stay here until either you die of old age or we find a way to get you back home, that is as long as agree to help out around here and earn your stay." The book fairy said.

"Oh, and call me Histoire, 'book fairy' isn't the greatest of nicknames." Histoire said as she broke the fourth wall to Gray's surprise.

Apparently the book fairy was such a badass that she completely disregarded Gray's surprise as she continued on with her speech,

"To start off before you get to meet too many people here you'll go with IF," She pointed to a brunette wearing a blue coat ten sizes too large with a belt strap with several phones of varying colors on the coat. She also had on a black and grey undershirt.

"and Compa to get a weapon, they will explain more on the way." Histoire finished as she pointed at a Girl with C-Headband who wore a cream colored sweater vest and had peach colored hair, orange eyes and seemingly had an obsession with needles as she carried one larger than her own body.

The trio walked outside of the room and then got on an elevator. It was just now that Gray began to break down. He started bawling realizing he might never go home and if he does he may never be able to fit back into his own society. On top of that he was in a foreign world and couldn't even rely on his own eyes to guide him anymore at this point. His entire world was turned upside down and he didn't even know if his own world even existed meaning even if he is at some point capable of returning there might not even be a world to return to, or even people there to support him.

As he cried and thought about his situation he felt something against his back and realized that one of the two people next to him had decided to try and comfort him with a hug.

Judging by the blue he was able to see it was IF who had decided to try and comfort him and soon after Compa joined in. At some point he calmed down and the elevator stopped and all three got out.

As soon as they were out of the large purple building Gray turned to look at his two new friends and uttered a simple thanks.

"Guess I should at least say my name since I already know both of yours. My name is Gray, nice to meet you." Gray said as he struggled to project his voice from the breakdown which had happened just moments before.

"Hey, no problem, everyone needs a shoulder to lean on at some point, right Compa?" IF said as she glanced over at Compa.

"Right!" Compa shouted out in a cheerful manner.

"Anyways, what's this about getting a weapon?" Gray asks still wondering about that bit of info that Histoire had given him.

"Since you'll be staying at the basilicom you'll be doing quests to help out in return for staying there, and because quests are generally dangerous you'll need a weapon. Also, to help you pick a weapon you should probably tell me what you prefer in a weapon." IF tells Gray, explaining the situation and helping to calm Gray's nerves.

"I've never actually used a weapon before, my world is extremely peaceful." Gray explains as he tries not to think about his home in too much detail.

"That doesn't narrow it down at all." IF sweatdrops as she realizes she is dealing with a complete newbie. It wasn't the worst situation though as at least it meant his fighting style was malleable and could still be shaped in any way.

As the trio continued to walk down the streets of the purple metropolis a street vendor shouted at the trio drawing their attention.

The vendor wasn't a regular one as they seemed to be a more 'supersticious' sort of store with all sorts of weird magic trinkets.

The vendor held her hand to her chin for a split second before saying,

"I sense some form of power in you" before pointing straight at Gray and opening her eyes with a look of seriousness you rarely see.

The vendor pulled something out and handed it to Gray. "Open this box." The vendor says.

Gray does as asked and opens the box and as soon as he does the entire shop straight up dissapears leaving many questions to the wind. Gray looks inside the box to find a large cane of wood with a glistening sapphire mounted atop which reflected light that was coming from all over the city.

"Uh, I guess that solves my weapon problem." Gray says just as dumbfounded as the other two as to what had just happened though the other two were more accustomed to crap like that and shook it off quickly enough.

"Yay, off to the guild!" Compa cheerfully shouts almost like she didn't even really understand what had happened. Gray was oddly cheered up at the ditzy pinkette's cheerful disposition even when the weirdest shit happens.

"Seriously though, judging by your reactions does crap like this happen all the time?" Gray asked still a bit weirded out by the entire situation.

"Unfortunately." IF responded, that one word all she needed to confirm both his and her worst nightmare in a way, even if IF was somewhat fangirling about the situation on the inside.
