CHAPTER 1: Our Realm

The high afternoon sun cast jagged shadows across the dusty clearing as Itsuki Sutoya stood with his arms crossed, watching the faint grayish-white aura hum silently around Mori Kagawa and Nada Zukamagi. The air between them vibrated—not with wind, but with the quiet, overwhelming frequency of Resonance, the absolute state where latent human potential synchronized entirely with divine force.

"You're both feeling it now, aren't you?" Itsuki’s voice cut through the stillness, sharp and measured. "The steady vibration. That isn't just energy leaking—it's your existence settling into the baseline frequency of the \Phi / \Psi continuum."

Mori looked down at his hands, watching the grayish-white flow pulse like a secondary circulatory system beneath his skin. "Itsuki... earlier, when the golden sphere and the green flame slammed into each other within my mindscape, it felt like an ocean of raw data was forced straight into my brain. The techniques, the mathematical structure, the baseline physics... it’s all connected to this term you kept referencing. What truly is Hakiminoshin 100?"

Itsuki let out a soft breath, his eyes darkening with a profound weight. "Hakiminoshin 100 isn't just a classification or a random title. It is the definitive framework of baseline existence—the unified system that spans from the lowest physical plane to the highest non-conceptual realms of absolute reality."

He stepped forward, tracing a glowing line of pure energy through the ambient space. "At its absolute core, Hakiminoshin 100 is built upon three foundational pillars: Willpower, the GAN, and the Divine Part."

"The GAN..." Nada muttered, rubbing his chest where his blue flame had locked into his core. "The engine trapped inside the transparent cube."

"Exactly," Itsuki nodded. "The GAN—the innate energy core—is your engine of manifestation and technique creation. It is what allows a mortal mind to comprehend energy manipulation, structure complex conceptual arts, and intuitively understand their own limitless capabilities. It is the intellectual and magical bridge. Without the GAN, you are merely a meat vessel with raw force you can never shape."

Itsuki turned his attention back to Mori. "And the Divine Part—the gold-encased core you both absorbed—is the physical amplifier. It shatters the biological constraints of mortal composition. It grants you the structural durability and growth capacity required to channel Phi (\Phi), the physical harmonic force governing infinite physical scaling, structural development, and baseline power output."

"And Psi (\Psi)?" Mori pressed, remembering the absolute conceptual nullification Itsuki had demonstrated moments prior.

"Psi is the inverse of Phi," Itsuki explained, his gaze shifting up toward the endless sky. "If Phi is the pillar of physical dominance, Psi is the pillar of conceptual authority. It is what allows your consciousness to interact with, resist, and outright negate abstract concepts—whether it’s spatial erasure, entropy acceleration, or causality manipulation. Together, sealed and calculated through the divine mathematical ratio of \Phi = \frac{1 + \sqrt{5}}{2}, they form the bedrock of your current state."

Nada clenched his fists, feeling the immense, unyielding density trapped within his muscles. "If our baseline physical strength is already sitting at an astronomical scale of 10^{400}, and we're operating inside this dual space-time continuum just to keep the local universe from collapsing into a singularity... where does this story go from here? What are we actually preparing for?"

Itsuki’s expression turned utterly serious, the playful grin completely vanishing from his face.

"We are preparing for the convergence," Itsuki stated coldly. "You two think you are alone in this world because you were the ones who saw the light fall from the heavens. But the sky didn't shatter by accident. The Five Omniumverses—the vast, nested engines holding infinite copies of reality—are beginning to shift. The primal light fields that laid down the fundamental axioms of existence, the absolute entities known as The Shins and The Noshins, created this reality with a recursive law: that entities weaker than them could grow, accumulate, and ultimately surpass the very bounds set by creation."

He pointed a finger directly at Mori's chest.

"Our father’s prophecy wasn't just a idle tale told to children, Mori. It was a cosmic timeline. I was the first to awaken to this divine substrate to set the path, but you and those who stand alongside you are meant to carry this power into the deep dark of the higher realms. Beyond this planet, beyond the ordinary mortals residing in the baseline space-time continuum, there are existing entities, ancient Oshins, and divine stewards like Molybdenum and Nobelium who hold authority over entire dimensional layers."

Itsuki took a deep breath, the grayish-white aura around his own body flaring with faint, dangerous ripples of reversed entropy.

"The direction of our path is clear. First, you must master the absolute neutralization of your energy down to zero, learning to conceal your presence while wielding pure physical force. Second, you must unlock the specific innate abilities granted by your individual GAN engines—Mori’s green origin flare and Nada’s blue resonance. And finally, we step out of hiding to face the coming wave of divine contenders who seek to claim the substrate of Boson for themselves."

Mori looked at Nada, seeing the exact same fire of determination reflected in his friend's eyes. The confusion, the shock, and the disbelief of the past hours melted away, replaced by an absolute, unwavering resolve.

"Then stop holding back, Itsuki," Mori said, stepping forward as his grayish-white aura flared into a blinding, golden-green radiant haze. "Show us the next step. Teach us how to conquer the 100."
