The bigening of the outerversal battle

There was a place beyond the boundaries of reality.

A place where neither time nor space had any meaning.

There was no sky.

No ground.

No sun.

No stars.

Only an endless darkness stretched into infinity.

But even that darkness was no longer peaceful.

Countless cracks had spread across existence itself. Through those fractures, entire realities could be seen collapsing.

Universes vanished.

Timelines were torn apart.

Multiverses that had existed for unimaginable lengths of time were reduced to nothing.

And at the center of it all stood one man.

Alone.

Before him were seven hundred multiverses.

Seven hundred vast collections of realities had gathered against a single person.

The scale of the battle was beyond anything ordinary beings could comprehend.

The darkness trembled beneath the pressure of their combined power.

Yet the man standing at the center remained completely still.

His eyes moved across the countless realities surrounding him.

He knew exactly what stood before him.

Seven hundred multiverses.

And behind them, countless more worlds that depended upon their existence.

A voice echoed through the darkness.

"You are alone."

The man said nothing.

Another voice followed.

"Seven hundred multiverses stand against you."

Still, there was no response.

For a moment, everything became silent.

Then—

The space surrounding the man began to distort.

Reality bent around him as an overwhelming force spread through the void.

The seven hundred multiverses responded simultaneously.

Their combined power surged toward him.

The darkness was torn apart.

Entire sections of reality disappeared beneath the force of the collision.

Timelines collapsed one after another.

Worlds vanished without leaving even a trace behind.

The man moved through the destruction.

The battle had begun.

And it was not a battle that could be measured by armies, weapons, or ordinary strength.

It was a battle that threatened existence itself.

The fate of countless realities was being decided in a single moment.

But this was not where the story truly began.

The battle of the Outerverse had started long before the seven hundred multiverses gathered.

Long before the timelines began collapsing.

Long before that man stood alone against them.

To understand how everything reached this point...

We have to return to the beginning.

Many Years Earlier

Before the multiverses fell into chaos, there was a boy who lived on Earth.

His name was Shinuha.

His life was peaceful.

He had been born into a wealthy and loving family and had grown up surrounded by everything he could have wished for.

His parents cared deeply about him.

He had a comfortable home, a good education, and several close friends.

There was nothing extraordinary about his daily life.

After school, Shinuha often spent time with his friends.

They would walk home together, talk about their futures, argue over small things, and laugh about things that would eventually become meaningless.

One afternoon, one of his friends looked at him.

"So, Shinuha, what do you want to become when you grow up?"

Shinuha thought for a moment.

"I don't know yet."

"You always say that."

Shinuha laughed.

"Then maybe I'll figure it out later."

At that time, none of them knew how quickly everything could change.

One day, Shinuha was involved in a car accident.

His peaceful life came to an end.

But that was not the end of his story.

It was only the beginning.

The World Called Kepler

Somewhere beyond Earth existed another world.

A world where magic was real.

A world where extraordinary abilities had existed for generations.

Its name was Kepler.

And Shinuha was reincarnated there.

He was given a second life in a world completely different from Earth.

Magic existed throughout Kepler, but it was not something everyone could use.

Only certain people were born with the ability to wield it.

For generations, special abilities had been passed through ancient bloodlines.

Long ago, certain animals possessed extraordinary powers.

Over countless generations, those powers were inherited by humans.

Eventually, they became known as the Animal Affinities.

There were four known types.

Monkey Affinity — the ability to manipulate trees and plants.

Snake Affinity — the ability to manipulate mud and earth.

Eagle Affinity — the ability to control air.

And finally—

Lion Affinity — the ability to control air, trees and plants, and mud and earth.

The Lion Affinity was considered the most powerful of the four known affinities.

These abilities were passed from generation to generation through bloodlines.

Because of this, ancestry became extremely important in Keplerian society.

And Shinuha was born into an ordinary Pillar 3 family.

The Five Pillars

Kepler's society was divided into five ancestral social ranks.

Pillar 1 → Pillar 2 → Pillar 3 → Pillar 4 → Pillar 5

Pillar 1 was the lowest.

Pillar 5 was the highest.

These ranks were determined by ancestry and bloodline rather than simply by how powerful a person was.

Shinuha's family belonged to Pillar 3.

Everyone expected him to inherit his family's ancestral status and live an ordinary life.

But hidden deep within Shinuha was something nobody understood.

Something that did not belong to any known Animal Affinity.

Something far beyond the magic system of Kepler.

And Shinuha himself had no idea it existed.

The First Day of School

At the age of six, Shinuha began attending school.

For the first week, everything seemed normal.

He studied with the other children, made friends, and slowly became accustomed to his new life.

Then, during the following week, everything changed.

The teachers became more serious.

The students were taken to a special area known as the Magical Arena.

It was where children could demonstrate their inherited abilities and begin learning how to control them.

One by one, the students stepped forward.

Some demonstrated the Eagle Affinity.

Air moved around their hands.

Others demonstrated the Snake Affinity.

Mud rose from the ground.

Some students demonstrated the Monkey Affinity.

Small plants and roots emerged from the earth.

Everyone seemed to possess some kind of ability.

Everyone except Shinuha.

Finally, it was his turn.

Shinuha stepped into the center of the arena.

He raised his hand.

He waited.

Nothing happened.

The arena remained completely silent for a moment.

Then—

The students began laughing.

"Nothing happened!"

"He has no power!"

"He's a Pillar 3, but he can't even use magic!"

Their laughter echoed around the arena.

Shinuha lowered his hand.

His expression changed.

He became angry.

Very angry.

Then—

BOOM.

The ground beneath him trembled.

The laughter stopped.

Cracks spread across the ground.

Suddenly, roots burst from beneath the arena floor.

Trees erupted from the earth.

Vines twisted through the air.

Plants spread rapidly in every direction.

The entire arena began transforming.

The teacher's expression changed.

"Everyone, move back!"

But the power continued growing.

Shinuha stood at the center of it all.

He could feel something inside his body awakening.

Then a voice suddenly echoed inside his mind.

"Shinuha... remain calm."

Shinuha froze.

"Who said that?"

The voice answered.

"My name is Chat."

"Chat?"

"I am an AI connected to you."

Shinuha didn't understand.

"An AI? Inside my mind?"

"Your emotional state is increasing your magical energy. Your anger has triggered an ability that was previously dormant."

The trees continued growing.

The roots became stronger.

The ground shook violently.

The teacher attempted to stop the phenomenon, but the power was far beyond what anyone expected from a six-year-old child.

Then—

Someone appeared.

A mysterious figure stood near the edge of the arena.

Nobody had seen the person arrive.

The figure calmly approached Shinuha.

The enormous power surrounding him suddenly began to weaken.

The roots stopped moving.

The trees became still.

The shaking ground settled.

In only a few moments, the uncontrollable power had been completely stabilized.

Shinuha looked toward the mysterious figure.

But before he could say anything—

The figure disappeared.

No explanation.

No warning.

Nothing.

Only silence remained.

The teacher stared at the place where the mysterious person had stood.

It seemed as though the teacher knew something.

But he said nothing.

Inside Shinuha's mind, Chat also became silent.

Shinuha looked around the transformed arena.

He didn't understand what had happened.

But one thing was certain.

His first power had awakened.

Monkey Affinity — High Level.

Yet the awakening of that power was only the beginning.

Because the mysterious figure who had appeared that day was connected to something far greater than Kepler.

Something involving worlds beyond worlds.

Something that would eventually reach the Outerverse.

For now, however, Shinuha was only six years old.

He had no idea what awaited him.

He had no idea why he had been reincarnated.

He had no idea who Chat truly was.

And he certainly had no idea that one day—

seven hundred multiverses would stand against a single man.

The journey had begun.
