In an alternate dimesnion, an alternate Marco Polo with his Wolhyang was in the process of fighting White but died in battle but his cause is unknown.

### Past

Sometime after he was introduced to three new siblings from Niccolo as he saved them from wars in various countries and asked Marco to take care of them as their older brother.

At some point in time, Prince Rei from Asia visited Italy along with some of the beasts from Asia. Upon meeting Marco’s father, he gifted him with the OZ house medallion. One day as Marco was playing, he accidentally stumbled upon the scene of Prince ….killing Prince Rei. It was later announced that the beasts were responsible for killing Prince Rei and were being executed. However, Marco stepped in and testified against the 2nd prince, saving one of the creatures, Wolhyang (just a small creature at that time). However, no one believed him and his family was punished for treason and Marco’s parents sentenced to capital punishment leaving Marco and his brothers orphans. When Wolhyang grabbed Marco, Marco pushed her away blaming her for the deaths of his parents, vowing never to interfere in other people’s business.

After kicking Wolhyang away, he chased after her, finding her in middle for the rain, and nursing her as she was having a fever. However, Marco realized that he would not be able to take care of Wolhyang and sent her back to Asia. The Polo family was later labelled traitors and no one was allowed to do business with the Polo family. Marco ended up with much debt after his parent’s death and had to work all sorts of jobs to make ends meet.

### Dimension of Jyushin

#### Italy

One day, he took on a job as a cleaner on a ship to Africa. Few months later in the voyage, all the sudden they encountered a demon sea snake. Marco insists that it is just a sea mirage, but it eats him. Just as Marco is being eaten, Marco immediately exchanges himself with a fake doll, saving his life. However, the sea serpent destroys the ship. Marco survives the shipwreck and ends up on the shores of an Asian country.

#### Asia

In the village, he sees many injustices, but ignores them, reminding himself to not interfere anymore. He encounters a woman whom he believes is a diviner as she is sitting in a chair, asking her for maybe information on a map to the west. However, it turns out she is a cook in the palace, but she offers to take her to meet the feudal lord, who may be able to help. As they talk, Marco exposes the feudal lord upon seeing the cup he is holding, saying that he was the one who ordered the creature to attack their ship. The feudal lord admits to his crimes and opens the ground below Marco, causing him to fall into the pit with creatures. He explains that he has been feeding humans to the beasts to prepare them for a tournament and that Marco’s shipmates were already eaten and Marco was next.

Marco attempts to escape the beasts but is pierced by one of them and is about to meet his death when Wolhyang appears. She saves Marco but demands he explain where he got the OZ house medallion. Marco explains his past and Wolhyang realizes that he is her savior back when she was only a small creature in Italy. Wolhyang kills all the beasts in the pit and is so overjoyed to meet him finally that she hugs him. At that moment, a lightning hits them, transporting them to another dimension in a futuristic Tokyo.

### Arrival to Japan

Marco finds himself in Tokyo, Shibuya, and accidentally got himself into the Yakuza's business of narcotics. Misunderstood, he flees from the police while merged with Wolhyang, giving him her powers.

Soon, they escape and jumps onto the tallest buildings to observe where they are.

When he is in the Asia continent before the feudal lord, he is able to deduce that it was the feudal lord that ordered the creature to attack his ship based on the fact that the cup he was holding was a cup he was going to sell and that the cook already assumed he had companions when he had never mentioned about them.
