"Ugh..My head..." -The sound of a man was heard as the sight of a red haired male was seen sitting up on the ground as he had purple eyes and a slim figure while wearing a modern casual outfit. He looked around and noticed two other boys were with him, a taller and older man who looked like he was in his 20s with silver hair and glasses and a young dark blue haired boy who looks like a middle school student was seen waking up with the older male-
Redhead: Hey, what's up with you two?
Silver haired man: I-I'm sorry but where are we?
Redhead: And I thought you know.
Boy: W-Who are they? -He pointed as the other two turned and looked around as they noticed they were surrounded by nothing but girls and many of them had familiar faces as some were popular girls-
Redhead:...Kafuu Chino! From Gochuumon!
Chino: Eh? Y-You know? -The little girl asked in worry as she stood behind a cat girl who had worn a leopard-like outfit and had long sharp cat ears as the girl was Serval from Kemono Friends-
Serval: Are you scaring my friend?
Redhead: What the hell is this place? Is this a dream?
Silver haired man: There is only one way to find out then.
Redhead: What?
Silver haired man: Ask one of them to hit you.
Redhead: Huh?! Why the hell would I ask them to hit me?!
Silver haired man: There is a theory that if you feel any pain in a dream, you'd wake up.
Redhead: Sounds like a lot of crap to me, and I'll definitely tell you that my sister would agree with me.
Silver haired man: Your sister?
Redhead: S-Shut up. -He got flustered slightly and got up and moved to one of the girls and the girl he walked up to was a beautiful brown haired girl with blue eyes that went by the name of Takimoto Hifumi from the "New Game!" world. The male looked down at her with a horrid look on his face as the girl began to panic but was trying to keep her cool-
Hifumi: W-What is it?
Redhead: Hit me.
Hifumi: A-A...Pervert! -She said loudly and took a few steps back as a tall girl with long black hair would jump across the crowd of women and land in front of the redheaded male and punched him in the face strongly, causing him to fly past the other two males and crash into a building and the girl that had punched him was Tifa Lockhart from the Final Fantasy universe-
Silver haired man: Oh no! I-I think he died..
Boy: Eh?! No way..!
Tifa: Hmph! Nothing's more disgusting than a man asking a woman to hit him. -She said as she cracked her knuckles-
-The smoke cleared up as everyone gasped at the sight of the redhead unhurt as he was walking out of the hole that he had crashed into. He walked out dusting his shirt-
Redhead: Yeah, this is a dream, couldn't feel jack.
Boy: Who's Jack?
Silver haired man: He's using words..
Redhead: But if this is a dream then I'll just bear with it like a man. Nee-chan would be disappointed if I don't take things head on after all.
Silver haired man: You talk about your sister a lot, now don't you? -He asked as he walked up to the redhead male- Oh, I'm sorry for the late introduction. I am Yukinoshita Shuusouke, you can just call me "Shuu". -He said with a smile-
Boy: I-I'm Aragaki Nobuaki! I'm fourteen years old, I-I'ts a pleasure to meet you both!
Redhead: Hmph! Nishikino Shinji. -He said with his arms crossed as he smiled at the two as the group of girls began to whisper after hearing their names until one girl would approach the three, the girl was a short girl with long thick dark green hair with green eyes as the girl was Hiyajo Maho from the Stein's Gate universe.
Maho: Excuse me but we would all like to speak to you three.
Shinji: Us three?
Shuu: For what purpose?
Maho: As a sort of procedure in this world.
Shuu: Sounds fair enough, shall we join them?
Shinji: Why should we follow them? We can do whatever we want, it's our dream after all.
Shuu: We are surrounded by women and many of them knows how to fight while we do not, do you really want to argue?
Shinji:...I see your point..
-The three males would follow the girls to a large building ahead as the sight of an entire continental city was seen-
Nobuaki: Just where are we anyway?
Maho: This is Malware. A city of Time and Space.
Shinji: Time and Space?
Maho: Yes, and this is no dream, Shinji-san. This is reality.
Shuu: What do you mean?
Maho: We've all been transferred here, summoned her and teleported here for a reason but no one knows why.
Shinji: So you guys were teleported here for a reason but you don't know why?
Maho: Y-Yes..
Shuu: Were there other guys here?
Maho: Well there were but..
Shuu: But?
"They all disappeared soon after we appeared." -The sound of a girl was heard as the four would then turn their attention to the side to see the sight of a dark blue coloured haired girl named Makinohara Shouko from the "Seishun Buta" universe-
-Shuusouke's eyes widened at the sight of the girl as he couldn't help but feel odd when he had set his eyes on her, he thought that she seemed familiar-
Shouko: Day by day, the many males that were here had disappeared in a blink of an eye and nobody knows where they went.
Shinji: Have you tried sending out scouts?
Shouko: We did but it was...Pointless..
Shinji: Pointless? The hell does that mean?!
Shouko: Nobody leaves this city, we are all trapped here.
Shinji: Eh?
Shuu: Trapped here?
Nobuaki: So in other words, we can be brought into this city but we are unable to leave it? Why is that?
Maho: There's a sort of barrier surrounding the city that blocks us from ever leaving the city.
Shuu: Any other methods of getting out? Like destroying the barrier or something?
Maho: Tifa along with many other girls with fighting powers and abilities had tried to destroy the barrier but it was to thick to even break. We've been stuck here for a few months now and we've been trying to get out ever since..
-Peeking from the other end of the room, Nobuaki turned and saw the head of a girl sticking out of the side of the door as she was watching the group talking, the girl was Konno Junko from the Zombielad Saga series. Nobuaki was somewhat curious but he would then turn his attention back to the others to listen what they had to say about the world they were in-
Shuu: What do you guys do about food and water along with clothes and such?
Shouko: There are stores everywhere here that give free supplies for us everyday, so we're being properly taken care of here.
Shinji: Does this place have a name?
Maho: For now, we call it "Overwrite", because every single day, the city would overwrite the locations of the shops and its produce, making it unpredictable to know what will appear the next following day.
Shinji: Could you give an example?
Maho: A bakery could be producing Bread and buns today, tomorrow it could be selling tarts and pies instead and then to fried food and many more.
Shuu: Sounds really confusing..
Shouko: Well, it may be scary at first but don't worry, you guys will fit in perfectly. Why don't we give you a tour around the city?
Shinji: I-I think I'll pass, I wanna get some answers of this place.
Nobuaki: I'm sorry but...I'd rather be somewhere else other than here.
Maho: Somewhere else? I think I know just the place for you. -She said with a smile as she patted the boy's head lightly and held his wrist as she pulled him away as Nobuaki followed Maho while Shuusouke followed Shouko around the city and Shinji went out on his own, seeking for answers-
-Moments as Shinji was walking out alone in a park, he saw a familiar face as he saw Kousaka Honoka from the Love Live universe and would approach her-
Shinji: Honoka-san?
Honoka: Ah! Shinji-kun! I didn't think you'd be here.
Shinji: Me neither, what's up with you?
Honoka: Me? Oh...Uh, nothing.
Shinji: Right.. By the way, have you seen Nee-chan?
Honoka: Nee-chan? You mean Maki-chan?
Shinji: Yeah, have you seen her anywhere?
Honoka: Maki-chan? She doesn't exist here.
Shinji: Eh?
Honoka: I'm the only one from the Love Live world..
Shinji: W-What do you mean? I thought this place is universal, how can she not be here?
Honoka: I don't know, m-maybe only a few people were chosen specifically to be here, I don't really know.. I-I'm sorry!
Shinji: N-No! Don't apologise, I-I'm sorry for getting all worked up.. I guess I'm just worried, that's all..
Honoka: D-Don't worry, Shinji-kun, I'll help you! Maybe I can't do as much as your sister can but I'll do my best to help you out! Faito dayo!
Shinji: -He smirked as he smiled happily at Honoka- Thanks, I owe you one.
-Back with Nobuaki and Maho. Nobuaki was sleeping on a coach with a blanket on top of him as Maho was on her computer, doing data research on "Overwrite" while the two were in a dark room together as the room was the "Lab" from Stein's Gate. Back with Shuusouke and Shouko, the two were walking together as they were exploring the city together-
Shouko: Do you know why you're here?
Shuu: Hmm? I'm sorry?
Shouko: Your purpose, do you know what it is?
Shuu: I-I'm sorry but what do you mean?
Shouko: I can only tell you about this because I know that you're one of the few chosen people who may be able to save us.
Shuu: M-Makinohara-san? What are you talking about?
Shouko: -She chuckled softly and looked up at the silver haired man and put a finger on his lips- "Shouko", just call me by that name, it's easier to pronounce. -She said as the male then nodded- This world called "Overwrite" is more than just a simple city that is covered in a barrier. It's a living creature.
Shuu: Eh? L-Living creature?
Shouko: This is a small fraction of the beast, we are in it's head right now. This dimensional place known as "Overwrite" has powers to erase, eradicate and even take control of anyone in this city. I've seen it.
Shuu: You have?
Shouko: Before you and the other two came, the males would often fight against each other to the death and then stop fighting a minute after they had begun, then the next following day...They just disappeared..
Shuu: H-How do you know so much about this?
Shouko: That's because I do not belong here~ -She said with a smile on her face as she looked up at the male-
Shuu: Y-You don't belong here?
Shouko: I was not chosen to come here. I do not know why but I can freely travel through this world.
Shuu: Freely travel through this world? How big is this place anyway?
Shouko: The city is fairly small, could only fit a population of 200 thousand people but...Outside of the city, a vast space of land that could fit over billions or even trillions worth of lives, nothing but grass plains and nature everywhere.
Shuu: If you can travel freely, why don't you leave and escape with everyone else?
Shouko: I could but if it was that easy, I would've done that a long time ago~
Shuu: B-But you just said that..-
Shouko: I may not be chosen to be here and that I am free to traverse through this world but does not mean that I can simply leave this world just because I want to. Like everyone else, I'm trapped.
Shuu: H-How?
Shouko: A powerful being is keeping me away from the outside world, it doesn't want me to leave. Perhaps it fears that I might spread to the public of what I have seen on this world.
Shuu: W-Who or what is this being anyway?
Shouko: I don't know but it's certainly something spiritual or something that defies all sense of logic and psychology, because I can feel its presence everywhere..
Shuu: F-Feel its presence..?!
Shouko: Yes, don't you feel it? The sensation of something staring into your soul when you first came.
Shuu: I-I did feel a sort of creepy sensation when I first came here..
Shouko: Whatever it is, we're being watched from every location, we can say whatever we want and try to do whatever we want to escape this world but we can never leave unless we find the source.
Shuu: What do you propose to do?
Shouko: Summon.
Shuu: Summon? Like the games kids play, summon some sort of dragon or something?
Shouko: Yes. We're going to summon a dragon to help us.
Shuu: Huh? A-A dragon? Are you serious?
Shouko: Very serious, Shuu-kun~
Shuu: S-Shuu..?
Shouko: And I need your help. Will you help me?
Shuu: I-I... -Hesitant, he was worried about the consequences of breaking the law in the world that he has never set foot on- I-I guess I'll help..But I cannot promise that your plan will succeed even with my help.
Shouko: Don't worry, it will definitely work.
Shuu: What makes you say that?
Shouko: Because we're not going to summon a random dragon, we're going to summon a God.
Shuu: A God?!
