Preface: I am making this fanfiction as canon as possible. I plan to lead up and focus on the aftermath of Defiance (which will be a feat in and of itself).

Now, I'd like to make several things clear:

The Suikoverse I am using is not the same world as the one in the game series. It is based on the referenced theory that the Suikoden world is continuously destroyed and remade by the True Runes/God(s). So my Suikoverse, which I dubbed the "World of Runes"-which follows the world-naming trend in Suikoden-is not the same as in the series. IE: The World of Emptiness, the World of Wings and Scales.

It takes place either before or after the Suikoverse in the game series-mostly depending on whether or not I will have Sven succeed in saving his world.

Also. I'm going to state why this crossover can theoretically be plausible.

LoK confirms and uses the existence of other dimensions/words. Specifically the demon realm that the Hylden were banished to.

Suikoden goes on a tangent with this concept. It states that there is something called the Million Worlds (also translated as Thousand Worlds and The Infinity) which is a countless number of other worlds and dimensions. And within Suikoden's known True Runes there is the Gate Rune which "has the power to open portals to other worlds and dimensions" and "can also be used to summon powerful beings and monsters from parallel dimensions".

See? It can totally work. XD

The prologue is the Creation Myth of Suikoden. Though close, it's not verbatim.

I expect to have the first chapter done sometime today as long as I don't get a roadblock. If not, it'll probably be done within three days.

And here's to hoping you enjoy this story that's now stuck in my head~!

And for any suiko-question I recommend to use Gensopedia (it should be the first result with any search engine).

(I love feedback.)

Breaking the Wheel
Prologue
-The Creation Mythos-

Before the stars blinked into existence; before life was breathed into mankind; before the very world came to be, there was Darkness.

And the Darkness was so lonely.

In the emptiness that comprised the universe, the Darkness wept in anguish. Those tears birthed two brothers: Sword and Shield. However…

The Sword proclaimed that he could slice through all in existence, and to which the Shield retorted that he was unbreakable. Thus the brothers were in a terrible conflict and sparks from their battle created the stars.

Their struggle ended only after seven days and seven nights when the Sword breached the Shield and the Shield shattered the Sword. The pieces of the Sword formed the sky whereas the fragments of the Shield formed the earth.

The twenty-seven jewels that had once adorned the brothers transformed into the Twenty-Seven True Runes—the origin of all runic magic—the last remainder of the Sword and Shield's legacy.
