Hitting Y, as his position, warped to another dimension.
Gripping his knife hard, looking around him, finding his destroyed room, putting his knife on his belt, searching the room for supplies, coming across a newspaper article.
June 21, 2010
The War on men
Recently a large group of women rose up, across the world, with IF and start the 'purification of the world' as they put it and started to exterminate all men...
The rest was burned out, he looked at this with widened eyes, "That could be the future..." he threw the paper down, kept looking around the room when he came across a little black box. Picking it up, looking at it, before it jumped at him.
"Identifying New Host...
New Host: Ichika Orimura?...
Gender: Male?...
Adapting to host...
Ichika tried to pull off the black box, but it didn't come off.
"Greeting Host, I'm Thanatos, a Seventh Generation IF..."
"ahh, Hey, Thanatos," he looked at his right arm as a pure black gauntlet formed there.
"Excuse me for a moment, I am adapting to you..."
"Alright," Ichika used Observe on his arm

"Ahh, Creator where have you been, why are you so young..."
"I'm not the creator you know, I Think" he looked at his arm.
"What, then who are you..."
"What year is it here,"
"2014..." Ichika looked at his arm with widening eyes
"I'm his younger self, about 7 years younger than he is here,"
"Well, that does make some sense, he made a system, to protect his younger system, I think he called the 'RPG System',"
"So he the reason I have this ability,"

Ahh, master what is that...
"Wait you can see that," he hit Y while looking at his arm.
"Yes, I can, is that the system, your future-self created..."
"I believe so, but we will have to find answers," looking at the time of the reality, "Crap, I have to get back, before my sister notices,"
'Should I tell him about his sisters, no I don't want to ruin his fun he has now, I'll tell him a year before it all starts'"ID: Escape," he shouted as disappeared in a blue light.
Ichika appeared in his room, dropping on it his bed, as a blue text screen came up.
You have survived one hour in the future dystopian
Rewards: 500 XP, 100 Yen, [Title: Survivor], [IS: Thanatos]
Closing out of the tab, "Thanatos," he called out.
"You know, you can talk through our mental link,"
"Oh," he started then switched to the mental link.
'Oh, so you came with back to my world, can you tell me a little about the future,'
"Hmm, Well it all started when a group called Phantom Task..." Thanatos started the story, he explained about how Phantom Task took over Japan and other countries government and beginning killing all men.
"Then you came with a resistance movement, exterminating those who took over the Japan Government," Thanatos finished, with Ichika in awe about his future self.
"A problem is with the system, Master, made the world bound to have changed,"
'Yes, it will, but we shall change it for the better,' he looked at the time 9 P.M, that collapsed onto his pillow, "Goodnight, Thanatos," he said as he fell into the abyss called sleep.
Next Week
After a week of traveling in the future world, he finally came across something, a group of females. Using observe on them.
IS Rogues- Lvl 10 - 12
Info: A group of female that went rogue from the Japanese Government, controlled by men, They are in 2nd Generation IF.
'Thanatos, Can I use consume yet,' he asked through the mental link.
'Sure, go for it,'
As he was about to attack them, he heard something, "I have a trace on Ichika lab," one female said, "Alright let's go," the leader said.
Watching they flew off, he equipped his IF and flew behind them passing through a destroyed town, until they stopped in front of his house.
Quickly pulling out Hades, jumping in front of him.
"What do we have here," the leader said cockily, another woman backed up, "Liz, that Thanatos, Ichika's personal IF," she said shakily.
The four women turned pale, quickly jumping for the farthest back, using consume on her IF, getting a boost on his IF stats.
Swinging his sword down on the IF, killing the woman inside, jumping towards the next one and repeating the process, landing in front of the leader.
She brought up her sword to block his, as her sword broke in half. She felt her IF core being dragged out.
System Count...IS Core: 389
'What is this why you're so overpowered,' he looked at his UI in disbelief.
"Sadly it is, he did this because he was the only person he could trust after Tabane died," Thanatos said, regretting what he ended with.
"What, Tabane-nee is going to die," he started to cry.
"She could, but you could change that, You are the only male IF pilot, now let's see what in his lab,"
"Thank you, I needed that," he wiped off his tears, walking into the basement of the house.
He searched through the entire basement when he finally came up to a journal.
Chapter 1
Hello, Alternate Ichika you might not have the same past like me, but I'm Ichika Orimura another version, but you will the same problem soon enough, Women wanting to kill most men. If you have already found Thanatos, you should know, if you didn't check our room in the house.
Turn the page.
He turned the page and found a small screen in the journal, he hit play and found himself in front of his future self.
On Video
"Hello Ichika, I'm also Ichika, I'm the creator of the 'RPG System' terrible name I know, Brother to the 'White Knight' my sister Chifuyu, and the 'Black Knight' my twin, Madoka." D-Ichika let out tears. (A/N: D-Ichika = Dystopian Ichika)
"Lovers to many different women, the lead second scientist of IF after the passing of Tabane-nee." he tears started to flow, he wiped them off.
"Creator of Thanatos, Leader of Japan, the First male to pilot an IF," he finished his title, "Now to get to the point, I don't know when my future will happen to yours but prepare yourself, If you don't want to lose Chifuyu-nee, Madoka-nee or Tabane-nee, The group that cause this is called Phantom Task," he said with such anger.
"The group is lead by the woman named Marie Orimura, our birth mother, who abandoned us, here I killed her after she killed Chifuyu-nee, Madoka-nee, and Tabane-nee," his face turned from one of hate to one of kindness, thinking of his sisters.
"When the war against men begins on June 11, 2010, leave Madoka and Chifuyu, if you don't want them to die, then get information about Phantom Task, and find Tabane-nee, it won't be hard if you are looking for her, I left a device that can track her. If you're asking why you should leave Chifuyu and Madoka, it because they died protecting me, that when the essence of death was sealed into me, which I moved to the unit Thanatos," he finished.
"Keep this journal on you, it will you keep your family alive," he ended with pleading smile.
Video End
By the end of the video, both Ichika and Thanatos were quiet, "Thanatos you know what we have to do," Ichika said in a quiet tone, picking up the journal.
"Yes, partner, this mother of yours will die," Thanatos said 'Mother' in a disgusted tone.
"Yes, but we need to plan for this event," Ichika said coldly, continuing to search the room.
Coming across a weapon cabinet, opening it up, finding an assortment of weapons.
Picking up a retractable blade, using observe on it.
Hidden Blade
DB: 100/100
Used by Ichika Orimura for hid assassination mission
Rolling up his sleeve, and attaching it onto his wrist, and doing the same to his other arm.
Taking all other weapons into his inventory.
He searched the rest of the cabinet and found a pitch-outfit using observe on it.

The Next Day
Walking downstairs, hearing a gasp from his sisters, walking into the room.
New Report
We of the Phantom Task, have declared war on all men, we the woman are superior in this new society...
He tuned out due to how unbearable the report was, as he heard Chifuyu shout, "Madoka get your brother, we are leaving," as she saw him.
"Ichika, get your things were leaving," she began to walk upstairs.
"No, you two go alone," He said much to their shock.
"Onii-chan what are you saying," Madoka shouted.
"I'm being reasonable, you two can survive on your own, if I go with you two, I will get you killed protecting me," he glared at the tv.
"Yes, that because we are family," Chifuyu said losing her professional tone, turning into a gentle one.
"This is my choice, I will not have you two die for me," He threw Chifuyu a journal, "That some safehouse info, use it to your propose, I have business to attend to," he glared at the door.
"We will meet again, only in better circumstances," he smiled at the two before he headed to the door, to be stopped by Chifuyu.
"Chifuyu-nee, I will not have you die for me, You two are my world, I can't bear to lose you," he shed a few tears.
He was pulled into a hug by both Chifuyu and Madoka, "Stupid Onii-chan, you won't lose me," she said.
"I know I won't, but I can't take the risk, you don't have your IS, right now," He said to their shock.
"I-ichika, you know about that,"
"Yes, I did, I'm not your brother for nothing," he smiled at them.
"Onii-chan, you can't leave, you be killed without an IS,"
"Don't worry about that," he said pulling his new IS 'Messiah', moving onto a gauntlet, slowly becoming a blue and white gauntlet.
He clutched his hand, as his body glowed in a blue light after it dies down, a complete blue and white IS, 6 sets of wings appear in the back of the IS.
"I-ichika, how can you pilot an IS," Chifuyu asked semi-shocked.
"I don't really know," Ichika scratched the back of his head.
