## **Life In Original World**

He worked as a spy for the Clan of D. and is the brother of Alteir D. Atlan. One day while spying on a enemy clan camp he found out they were preparing a plan to invade the Clan of D. and so he tried to make his way towards the neariest Clan of D. outpost but thanks to a weird yellow cat he was found and executed by members of the enemy clan alongside the cat.

## **Arc 1 - The Enemy Called Libra**

### **Arc 1 Cour 1**

After being executed, a Lunar God overseeing his universe called Katalin the "Affection" decided to give him another chance and decided to transfer his body and soul to the universe of Zodalia to help break that universe away from the power of Laplace, a great general of "The Demon King".

While in the fake timeline of Zodalia created by Laplace, he was found by Tyrol Alequid and he helped him get accustomed to his new world. They travelled together to the nation of the Volta Federation to a small town called Yldania. In Yldania he reunited with his brother Alteir D. Atlan and found out he died after trying to take revenge for the massacre of the Clan of D., he also met Titus Maximus and Damaris. After a brief bit of talking he learned that Aina Kaarina, one of the 12 Zodiac Heroes of this world known as Aries, was kidnapped by a mysterious lizardman. He decides to then follow the plan that Tyrol and Aries originally had and travel to the nation of the Union of Rumanovia which is controlled by king Minoru Leopald Takeshi who is also known as Leo and another one of the 12 Zodiac Heroes.

Following Tyrol they meet with a ratman called Captain "Squeeks" Alston who is the captain of the pirate crew called the Fuertens. Tyrol tells him that they are gonna taken on board Captain Squeeks's ship to cross the ocean of Nervalis. On the ship he has a small conversation with some of the crew members such as Selv Springfeild, Hurald North and Halle Draegan. He also learns that the reason they are going to the Union of Rumanovia to then join the war against the Rumanov Imperium, a country led by Libra of the 12 Zodiac Heroes or to simply find out the location of Libra to kill him, although he finds out Aries does not approve of this part of the plan. After Titus is challenged to a battle to prove the party is worthy of being on the ship, he mostly just has some small talk with the crew.

While eating dinner in the lower deck along with the rest of the crew other than Captain Squeeks and Tyrol, a thunderstorm seems to start and large lightning strikes appear to have hit the ship, but he then founds out those noises came from Leo appearing on the ship to threaten the ship crew for entering the sea owned by his nation without permission while there is a naval lockdown on his nation. Leo greatly injures Captain Squeeks with his light magic and then slightly injuries Titus causing his foot to have a permanent hole in it. After a bit of talking and once Damaris mentions the fact that Aries is the one to send them, Leo seems to calm down and leaves. Captain Squeeks then dies of his wounds, his 3 Skeleton Undead sons also die since they were soul binded to their father. Swop consuls some of the crew for the loss of their captain, but its clear that the crew currently blames them and the plan for causing the death of their captain.

While secretly talking with the rest of the players and Tyrol, he decides to not join the plan to sink the ship and ecape once they reach land. After the failed attempt he is left on a dock in the city of Valten.

### **Arc 1 Cour 2**

Now in the nation of the Union of Rumanovia Tyrol asks if the party knows how to use magic, upon learning they can't Tyrol takes them to meet Sultan, he is Capricorn of the 12 Zodiac Heroes. Capricorn puts them through a small training session to unleash their inner potential, and thanks to this training he learns how to use Animal Spirit Summoning. After everyone unleashes their inner potential 2 light beams can be seen appearing in the southern part of the town, Damaris, Tyrol and Titus leave to investigate and later another light beam appears outside the ruins of an old destroyed fortress in the city. The newest light beam is from Light D. Skin being brought to this world, Swop, Alteir and Capricorn interact with him until a battle can be seen to take place and so they rush over there but leave Capricorn behind. They find that Tyrol has started a battle with a special high ranking knight of Leo. Bob D. Builder and JOHN is now alongside Titus and Damaris who reveal that they were brought to thsi world and that is what the 2 light beams were.

Tyrol tells the party to retreat and so they do leaving Tyrol to battle against the female knight who is seemingly a very powerful woman. They try to escape the City but run into 2 more special high ranking knights who reveal themselves to be White Knights called Bellamy Srasla and Ando Chastain. A battle insues and the White Knights win with the female knight appearing alongside 2 more White Knights with a knocked out Tyrol. Before the battle could continue Leo appears and stops it, he then offers peace between them all and then invites them to the White Knights mansion.

At the mansion Leo tries to convince them to join the White Knights and reveals that they shouldn't trust Tyrol since he used to be a lieutenant apart of Libra's army and that he might betray the party. Swop decides to tell Leo that theys imply do not care about Tyrol's past and will fremain by his side, he then decides to negotiate with Leo and ends up accepting to join the White Knights temporarily until they defeat libra.

Leo then puts the party through a trial to prove they can be White Knights, Swop manages to pass his but he made a bet with the woman who fought Tyrol, her name being Belrose Royer who also has lost an arm in her battle against Tyrol, that they will have to spend a night together if he wins, she arrogantly agrees but then is surprised by Swop actually passing. After some of the others pass the trial, Leo gets injured by Damaris so the rest of the trials are called of for the day and so Swop and Belrose have sex. He quickly finds out that the Royer family is a family of Hermaphrodites so they have both male and female sex organs. Swop decides to escape her bedroom with his ability he calls "Boogie Woogie" once she starts to get too kinky for his liking and so he appears entirely naked infront of a saddened Bob and Light, and Damaris who is trying to comfot them for dome reason.

The next the day the trials continue and all the party pass their trial although with Leo injured those who passed the trials the first day where the ones having to put through the others through their trial. Swop went up against his brother Alteir who tried using his unleashed ability on him but a human spirit stopped the attack. After the trial he finds out the spirit is a woman called Balturia and she has chosen him as the one to inherit her powers. During JOHN'S trial, his missiles missfire and hit some of the spectators, Swop manages to doge in time and is unscathed but Belrose and her sister Lucienne is hit directly and get heavily injured. After Allaire Fukui one of the White Knights stops their bleeding with his magic and so, they are taken away to the infirmary.

After the trials, Leo gifts all the players with a magical box which contains something which is said to greatly enhance their power but should only be used in dire situations, they remember that Ando opened his during their battle and it seemingly caused him to turn into a vampire. Swop decides not to open his box and to simply keep it for later.

Swop and JOHN decide to visit Belrose and Lucienne after being given their box and Swop is told by Belrose that Leo will mostly likely dispose of them, she's in tears as she makes him promise that he will find a way to heal them. Swop remembers that Leo has seemingly been healed after the Trial by another White Knight so during training he decides to speak with her, it turns out she is Ambre Allard and that she has the ability to fully heal those she kisses. He asks her if she could heal Belrose and Lucienne, she agrees but only if Swop were to assassinate Ando who has become an annoyance for most of the White Knights.

Ambre alongside her half brother Kalar Maltaro and Bob, they all head back to the infirmary only to find that both Lucienne and Belrose have been put into a brain dead state by Leo and Ambre's ability is not strong enough to heal that. While talking, Agace Linville and Alteir appear seemingly wanting to do something with Belrose and Lucienne's body but are convinced to wait outside. After a bit of talking a mysterious Lizardman appears to take away Belrose and Lucienne's body, he reveals himself to be Tyreal and that he has been currently hired by Leo. Swop asks Tyreal if there is any way to revert what Leo has done, and Tyreal says tells him that according to a rumour, if a Zodiac dies, all things they ahve done with their magic gets undone, Tyreal then teleports away with the bodies.

Alteir and Agace return and Agace seems saddened about not being able to do what she planned and leaves quickly, Alteir on the otherhand stays and explains that Tyreal fits the description of the Lizardman who kidnapped Aries and so they start getting even more suspicious about Leo.

After returning to the training grounds a duel begins between Pascal Takayama and Ando which Pascal wins and he ends up killing Ando. This causes Swop and the rest of the party to begin a friendship with pascal. Afterwards Swop gathers the players and tells them of a plan to help kill Libra and then to finally kill Leo in hopes it would bring Belrose and Lucienne back, and so the others reluctantly agree. Tyrol overhears this conversation and convinces them that he'll help them out and that he will indeed not betray them, and so they accept him.

### **Arc 1 Cour 3**

Leo appears after training and gives everyone the mission to assassinate 2 defected human army generals, he then leaves alongside a small army for a battle against Libra. While walking towards their targets last known destination, Swop pulls Tyrol aside and asks him about the Zodiacs. Tyrol tells him that they each posess Elemental Magic unique to themselves. Tyrol then explains that Elemental Magic is something only Zodiacs and special "chosen" can use and explained that the magic Swop and the others use is a thing called Creation Magic. Swop then also asks Tyrol about himself, he finds out that the person who probably brought them to this world was none other than Tyrol's sister, Katalin, Tyrol then tells him the main reason he is helping them is that his sister has become a thing called a Lunar God and he wants to make sure his sister doesn't lose her spot as a Goddess for breaking the rules and sending souls to another universe. Tyrol tells him that he will make sure that they won't do anything that might make the other Lunar Gods see the players as a threat to the balance of this world. Swop then tells the other players this information while walking.

Upon reaching their target's last known destination, they see tracks going off into a forest and soon find a small encampment of Libra's knights. They all split up and decide to take out the knights and their targets. While split up at some point Swop meets up with Alteir and they take out one of the targets, they stop that man while he was about to sexually assault one of the younger guards. When Yasui Aryano appears she kills the young knight not knowing of his innocence. Alaire later on finds them and he seems very tired and more despondant than usual, upon being told by Swop what happened to the you knight Alaire leaves, seemingly very upset like if some past memories were brought up.

Swop then leaves to locate the other target, he notices that Ambre and Bellamy are seemingly trying to sneak into the targets tent and so he tries to help them out in assassinating the target by summoning an elephant spirit above and crushing the tent killing the target inside. He also accidentally crushes Ambre's lower half and most of Bellamy and in a state of panic tries to rush over there and heal them but is unsuccessful. Pascal and Bob appear looking a bit injured and they urge Swop to find Alaire so he could heal them. He then summons an eagle to find Alaire, he finds him after a short while outside the forest, the eagle sitting down behind him Alaire tells his last words and hands the eagle a pouch of healing powder before ending his own life. When the eagle returns it hands Swop the pouch.

The others all appear alongside 2 new freshly transported people, Aira and Monussy. Kalar seems very panicked at what happened to his sister but Swop keeps it a secret that he was the reason for her injuries. He decides to give all of the healing powder to Ambre after Yasui refuses them healing Bellamy saying that he would have liked dying in battle so he should be left to die. Yasui then devoured some of Bellamy's flesh gaining his magical powers.

After healing Ambre who is still knocked out they hear the marching of an army in the distance alongside many devilis screams. They all decide to hide in the trees but teh White Knights decide to go further and deeper into the forest not to run into the army. The players see a decently large army army of what looks like demons ravage the camp devouring any body left behind, leading them seems to be a huge and very thin burning demon which seems to notices them possibly and starts walking towards them but then gets stopped by a redskinned woman who tells the so called Byleth, "They are already gone by know, don't worry I would be able to sense them if they were near". The Byleth and the army of demons leave through some portals but the woman stays.

She slowly turns towards them all and calls out the players one by one seemingly knowing who they are. She introduces herself as Aries's sister and states they are not powerful enough mentally to hear her name. She then calls out Tyrol and reveals a lot of information on him such as that he is a Lunarian apart of the Lunar Cult and that he was supposed to be the one appointed as a Lunar God instead of his sister but was "too pathetic, weak and worthless" to gain the position. She then warns the party that the next time they meet they will be enemies and she will make sure they will die by her hands. Her last words are before leaving is "oh and by the way...Libra is already dead". That statement shocks the party as then Kalar returns alongside some other normal knights from Leo's kingdom to report that Leo has slain Libra in their latest battle.

### Arc 1 Cour 4

Riding upon the griffons that the other knights appeared on, the players return to the city of Valten and head to the Zodiac Embassy in the city to report back to Leo. While at the Embassy Swop tries to call out to Balturia and manages to summon her, the others also try to call out to their spirits and when they are summoned it is found out that they are Kiirastulii and that Balturia and Alturi, Alteir's Kiirastulii, used to be married and now hate each other, they try to get them to reconcile but fail and so they unsummon them at their Kiirastulii's request.

Later Swop and Bob alongside Kalar visit Ambre in the infirmary who is saddened by Alaire's suicide for they were close friends, apparantly Alaire left her a letter which Bob hands over and it leaves Ambre crying and broken, it is revealed the magical healing powder was originally created by Alaire to help heal his younger sister who was deathly ill, but sadly she died before he could finish making the powder. Swop summons some small puppies to help comfort Ambre and even Kalar who seems to struggle to interact with his sister.

After everyone gathers and they talk about how did Leo exactly kill Libra they think back to what Aries's sister told them and so they question if it was him who actually killed Libra but after a while they all head to bed.

The next day Leo informs them that they'll have some important visitors which turns out the be the rest of the Zodiac Heroes and there will also be four representative of the Rumanov Imperium they will have to negotiate a peace deal with. After Leo leaves to speak with some of the guests, Alteir, Agace and Swop meet Mathias Linville who turns out to be the knight who discovered Bob and JOHN when they first got trasnported to this world and also that he is Agace's older brother.

Later on Swop notices something suspicious underneath one of the carpets in a hallway, he checks if anyone would notice him moving the carpet and whenever the coast is clear he lifts up the carpet to reveal a trap door, he slowly opens it and sends a summoned owl down there and seeing through it's eyes he can see an underground laboratory with couple of people in it, the most important thing he sees though is 3 large tubes with green liquid which seems to hold Belrose, Lucienne and Aries confirming Leo was the one who ordered Tyreal to kidnap her.

Quickly the owl is captured and put into another test tube and Swop seemingly loses connection to the owl as it seemingly was killed, he quickly covers back up the carpet and tries ro act like nothing happened while looking for Alteir and the others to inform them of what he saw. After a while they all are picked by Leo to negotiate with the people representing the Rumanov Imperium in a meeting room. There they meet Ye Woong, Hae Man-shik, Chae Soojin and Sun Dae-Jung and start negotiating with them after Leo leaves. Tyreal and another lizardman called Zyltin watch over them to make sure no one starts a fight. Bob seemingly picking up on some magic in the room uses his magical EMP and in that instance all the Tieflings and Zyltin disapears and are revealed to ahve been an illusion by Tyreal. The players all gather around Tyreal and force him to reveal what is going on.

Tyreal explains he has the ability to create perfect copies of those who have died and he has access to a piece of their flesh in his pouch, this reveals all the Tieflings and even Zyltin are already dead. He then explains that he has set up this fake peace treaty to finally bring peace to Leo's and Libra's nation and that he is unsure whether or not Leo is aware of the fact he is planning this. The players then ask if he knows what happened to Libra, Tyreal responds by summoning a copy of Libra showing he has acces to a piece of clothing he once had and tells them if they wanna know anything about Libra then they should ask him.

The Libra clone looks very old but identical to Leo but with black hair, it is revealed that Leo didn't kill Likbra and that he has been dead for 4 years now and actually died of old age, although it's clear he was artificially aged up thanks to magic and died to that. Tyreal then unsummons Libra and tells them to just tell Leo the negotiations were successful so the war can finally stop, they agree and so Tyreal teleports away.

They all report to Leo that the negotiations were successful and then secretly speak with Tyrol and talk about if they should expose Leo's lies to the world, they decide to confront him privately and Tyrol interupts Leo's speech to his people and tells him they need to speak urgently and so alongside the remaining White Knights they all talk in Leo's private meeting room, there Tyrol exposes Leo's lies and Leo soon knocks Tyrol out with his magic starting a battle against the players and Leo, Pascal and Agace rebel and join the party's side, Yasui stays on Leo's side alongside Kalar and Ambre but they do so reluctantly.

As the battle starts one of Leo's attacks hits a mirror and thanks to the affects of the Fake Timeline they see the past memories of Leo, they interact with a young Leo and his mother who later on dies thanks to a terrorist attack from some mysterious figures in hoods. Afterwards they get brought back into the real world.

During the fight in the meeting room Boy Maximus is killed by Yasui and the Leo destroys the wall and floor causing them to fall down to the ground floor and all the other Zodiacs see what is going on, the party tries to convince them to help out against Leo but they state that they cannot interfere but they can make sure no one else joins the battle and so Capricorn using his Wood Elemental Magic creates a huge tree for them to battle upon and Pisces covers it in a dome of ice using her Ice Elemental Magic to keep out anyone who might want to join.

During the battle it is revealed that Leo has implanted pieces of some of the zodiacs into some of the White Knights and so Kalar has his Light Elemental Magic, Belrose had Lightning Elemental magic from Gemini and Bellamy had Ice Elemental Magic from Pisces but now Yasui has those powers and Agace has Water Elemental Magic from Aquarious. During the battle Yasui gets killed by Agace's Water Angel Elemental summons but many of them also head some civilians and kills them, some of Leo's magic also hets some innocent people. Leo then activates one of his special skills called Forma Lucis Santca (Holy Form of Light) and almost defeats alteir and Bob.

Even though Swop and the other tell Titus to refrain from killing Ambre, he still does but thanks to the magical powder left behind by Alaire, her body seemingly resurects as her body seems stronger and she intraps herself and Titus into a dark bubble as now she unleashes her Steel Snake Magic. Kalar gets angered by this and decides to fully switch to Leo's side and so does Ambre.

After a hard battle, Leo is killed by Alteir using his Peak Human abilities and all the effects of his magic are come undone, and so Kalar is stripped of his magic and Ambre is left weakened. Capricorn and Pisces undo their magic bringing them back down to the now destroyed Embassy as Kalar and Ambre are kept held down by Pascal. Swop rushes to unearth the secret laboratory and finds that Lucinne has died crushed by some rubbles during the battle and Belrose is heavily bleeding out in Swop's arms as she asks if her sister is okay, Swop tells her she has sadly died and so Belrose dies knowing they failed to save them. Aries's unconcious body is found but she seems to be in a stable condition.

All the Zodiacs other than Gemini and Capricorn leave. Capricorn puts up a wall around the destroyed embassy as people try to sworm it hopes of taking revenge on the killers of their king, Gemini offers to bring them all to his castle with his Lightning travel but first they decide to look around for other survivours while Titus loots for gold. The find a young boy called Elron who is wearing a White Knight uniform, he is revealed to have been taken in by Alaire and hands them a letter which he kept that Alaire once gave him which explains what has happened to Leo.

The letter states that after his twin brother, Isa Takeshi also known as Libra, died thanks to the remnants of the the Demon King's followers in his nation, Leo started a war against Libra's nation in hopes of eradicating all who followed the way of the Demon King but after certain point he seemed have lost his mind and went on insane rampages and even wanted to kidnap Aries to marry her and be finally viewed as the hero he always wanted to be for killing Libra who he claimed became a follower of the Demon King.

After a bit of talking, they decide to take Elron with them and alongside Pascal, Swop decides to call their group Enigma, and so Gemini brings them to his castle one by one with his lightning speed.
