Hello again everyone! This is the first chapter of the New Year! I know I should've updated sooner, but I was out of town, school work, and the fact that I changed how this was originally going to go.

Now with that being said, I hope you enjoy.


Today was a seemingly slow day for the nation of Lastation. There was no paperwork coming in, none that needed to be complete already, and there were no sudden monster attacks or uprisings.

While the older of the goddesses went to her room to do... whatever she does in there, the candidate of the nation was left to herself. She didn't normally have free time because of how busy the nation was, but apparently today was an exception.

She would've tried to hang out with her friend Nepgear, but Histoire had banned her and Neptune from leaving the nation. Share problems probably. She also thought about visiting Rom and Ram, but they were grounded because of a recent prank they pulled. Turns out making a bucket fall on Blanc's books was a great way to piss her off. There was also Vert, but the candidate didn't feel like getting smothered with pent up sisterly love.

There were the games in the Basilicom, but she had beaten them multiple times, and got the highest score on the shooters. She could've also went to the shooting range nearby, but that provided very little challenge to entertain herself. She would always get a headshot in the metal mannequins no matter what distance the target was at. She even took up archery, just for the heck of it. Turns out that her gun handling can be quickly translated to bow handling.

So in short, Uni was BORED.

Uni was sitting on the living room couch, polishing her favorite rifle. This was about the third time she was cleaning it today. She mostly did it to pass the time, seeing as there was nothing better to do.

"What if I try to do a quest?" she asked herself while applying more solution on her rag, "Actually, we have only been getting simple quests at the time, so nothing there would really keep me interested."

She then started cleaning her rifle a fourth time, "What about make a new gun? That could be fun." She then thought about it, and found that she didn't really have the motivation to do it, "Eh. All my weapons now work perfectly, so I don't think I need to. Plus, I don't really have any materials to make it with."

Uni looked at her reflection through the shiny surface of her rifle. What stared back at her was a bored girl.

'What if I just go walk around Lastation?' she thought to herself while rubbing her trigger with the cloth, 'Better than just sitting around doing nothing, I guess.'

So after she had finished polishing again, she put her rifle back in her room, and made her way to the door. On other occasions, she would've transformed and flew out the Basilicom, but she didn't need to be anywhere in a hurry.

When the large doors were opened, the candidate was met with the familiar smell of industrial work and food mixed together. They both blended to somehow form an amazing aroma, which Uni always enjoyed.

Taking a deep inhale and exhale, she started on her way to nowhere in particular.

While the black candidate was walking, she would get greeted by the various citizens of her nation. Some would wave, or say a simple "Hello". Uni would reciprocate these greetings with a few of her own.

After a while of walking, the goddess found herself walking past a little food stand. At that moment, Uni's stomach decided to growl, causing the CPU candidate a little embarrassment. After getting her growling stomach under control, she decided to get whatever was at the stand. When she went to look at the selection, it turned out it was a sandwich vendor.

"Hello Black Sister. How can I help you today?" the woman behind the counter asked to her.

Uni looked at the selection with mild interest in her eyes. There was quite a huge selection of choices to choose from, "I think I'll go for a regular turkey sandwich," she answered.

"Okay then. I will have that ready for you in no time," the woman said before going to the back and most likely making a sandwich.

While that was happening, Uni turned her body away from the counter, and started looking at the white (and sometimes grey) clouds roll by. She noticed that even the clouds were rolling along slowly. It was like someone had clicked the slo-mo option on their T.V remote.

'I should probably stop looking at the clouds. I'm not that bored,' the candidate denied as she continued to stare at the puffs float in the sky. All of them looked to be of varying sizes; some small and others very wide. There were ones shaped li-

'I guess I am that bored, huh?' she thought as she continued to look at the sky. Suddenly, her phone started ringing. She fished it out of her pocket, and looked at the caller ID. It was safe to say that the goddess was slightly happy at seeing something that might lift her from her boredom.

"Hello?" she answered.

"Greetings Uni. I hope I am not interrupting you from anything important?" Kei, the Oracle of Lastation, responded as papers could be heard shuffling from her end of the call.

"Not really," she responded before the vendor came back with her sandwich. She accepted it, and then turned her attention back to her phone, "I just started walking around the city because today is a very unproductive day."

"Very true," she replied, "There hasn't been a single form, complaint, or anything of the sort to come into the Basilicom today."

"Not to sound rude or anything, but did something happen?" Uni asked. Normally, Kei was a woman of business. She never really called the goddesses, unless it was for something important. So to call the candidate on her phone must've meant something was up.

"You are fine. I don't normally call you for non-business reasons, so your reaction is understandable," she responded, "Anyway, the reason that I have called you is because I would like you to complete a quest that has been assigned."

"Can't the regular adventurers handle the quest? Why do you need me?"

Before she got a response, Uni heard the sounds of papers being moved around, "Well, this quest is very high ranked, and only a select few of our adventurers can complete it. And even then, they might shy out of the quest. This is rather important, so I would like for someone I know will complete it, to do it."

"Makes sense," the candidate replied to her. She then took a bite from her sandwich, which seemed pretty okay. She paid for it, and then left a decent tip behind. "I'll get on it."

"Thank you. I wish you the best of luck."


It didn't take long for Uni to make her way to the Guild. She had been there plenty of times, so it was basically ingrained in her memory.

When she arrived, as per the usual, there were plenty of people around the building just talking. She didn't know why they didn't just go inside, but whatever.

The inside of the building was almost packed with all the people that were inside. Almost all of them had some type of weapon and armor. You could really tell who had been doing quests longer, because some of them were wearing plate mail and had shimmering blades, while others had simple leather armor, and pretty dirty swords.

She paid the people no mind, and walked her way towards the quest board. All the quests that were there were conveniently separated, so as to not cause confusion. Almost all the beginner quests were gone, which was to be expected, A few of the higher up quests were gone, and maybe two of the top quests were gone! Uni felt a little disapointed in her nation after looking at that. This was the hard working nation of Lastation, and here her citizens were, picking up the easiest quest just to get their credits.

'No wonder Kei wanted me to do this quest,' the candidate thought as she looked at the long list of S Rank quests. Among them, there was one that said 'This is a special request from the Basilicom'. Figuring that was the right one, she pressed on the quest, and a small tablet giving her the details of the task showed up in her hands.

The goddess started walking out the Guild, while she was looking over the details. "So I need to clear some of the forest of monsters huh? I wonder what project is going to be made here then?"

Since she wasn't looking up, Uni happened to bump into someone who appeared in a rush.

"Oh! S-Sorry! I didn't m-mean to run into y-y-you!" Some boy with green hair and matching eyes said to the girl as he started bowing.

"I-It's okay. Watch where you're going next time," the goddess said; only slightly surprised that the boy before her was bowing. And bowing. Aaaaannnnnnd bowing. Aaaa- "Can you quit with that now?"

The boy almost instantly quit his motion, and said a quick "Sorry," before running past her into the building Uni just came from.

"What was up with him?" Uni asked herself, before shrugging it off and looking at the tablet again, making sure not to bump into anyone this time.


Meanwhile with Izuku, he was had come to a horrifying realization.

HE DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO DO A QUEST!

'Calm down. I know I should've asked Mr. Everglade about this before I left, But once he told me all the beginner quests may be gone, I had no choice but to rush! Anyway, there are plenty of people here, hopefully one of them would be able to help me.'

So with that, Izuku surveyed the sea of people to look for someone who would probably help him. He didn't want to mess with the experienced questers, for they might not remember after taking on tasks for so long. Instead, he looked for people that looked relatively new to this whole questing thing

His eyes soon landed on a young boy about his age, wearing leather armor, and carrying a scabbard that most definitely held a sword. Without further delay, he made his way over to the person.

"Um, excuse me," Izuku shyly asked before he tapped the teen's shoulder.

"Hmm? What do you want?" he responded, with a hint of annoyance in his voice.

The greenette quickly picked up on that, so he decided to keep his request short, "I am new to this whole, 'questing' thing. Do you know what I have to do to get started?"

The teen sighed as he pointed a finger over to a desk where a lady was sitting at, "That is the registration area. You go there to get signed up. Once you finish that, then you can pick out a quest that you can complete on that quest board over there." He then pointed to the board a lot of people were crowded around.

"Thank you." Izuku said before he almost ran over to the desk the lady was at.

"Hello, sir. What can I do for you today?" the lady asked kindly with a smile on her face.

Since the boy still wasn't used to the female gender yet, he kind of stuttered in his speech, "I w-would like to r-register for q-questing, please."

"Alright then. That should be no problem at all," she said before she reached under the desk and pulled out a piece of paper shortly after. "Please sign this registration form, and then I can get you started with questing."

"T-Thank you," Izuku stuttered out while grabbing the form. On it were regular questions, such as his name, blood type, and stuff like that. Then, when he was almost done, he saw the question that said 'What powers do you have?' The greenette was quite confused about this one, since he found out that nobody had any quirks in this world.

"Excuse me..." Izuku shyly asked to get the lady's attention. When she turned her attention to him again, he continued, "What d-does p-powers mean?"

"Oh, that! Well, sometimes people have these weird abilities that they possess. We never know how they get them, but they started showing up so much, that the guilds decided to make a question for that," she answered. "If you have anything like that, then could you please specify what it is?"

"N-No problem," the greenette said. He then turned his attention back to the form he was writing. He simply put down 'Strength - Can stockpile power and strength to deal massive damage'.

"That should do it," Izuku said as he handed the form back to the lady.

"Thank you. Now we will give you your license to do questing in a little bit, so if you could please remain here for a little bit, then that would be great," The lady said before walking away to someplace unknown.

When she had left, the greenette started to wonder what was happening back in his home dimension. He had been gone for a couple days, and he had hoped none of his classmates got injured, but he couldn't know for sure.

"I hope everyone's okay. I would hate to see any of them getting hurt too badly."


When I mentioned people having weird abilities, I was talking about all the OCs in various Neptunia fanfictions.
