"Where the heck am I?"

She looked around the place that seemed to be an abandoned city that was left to rubble.

'I should maybe check around the place..."

She walks to every building that seems to be connected by something. Lastly, she finally found a way out.

While inside, the building surely had nothing but rubble, but the outside was full of human skeletons.

'What the fuck is this?!'

She looked around and saw a strange figure. The figure got closer and closer when she blinked every time.

The figure seems to be a humanoid while having no face.

"Who are you... and where am I?"

Although the figure doesn't have any face it somehow spoke.

"Yøur poʻwer... ƙnow how to use it... you will need it once you fight him..."

"Him? Who him? And what do you mean by my power?"

Said Alice, who was confused about what that figure said.

Part 1 Losing a mother

"Mom look at my drawing!"

Said Alice, smiling at her mother, who was making food in the kitchen. Her mother looked at her daughter's drawing and said:

"Aw... What a cute drawing you make!"

Her mother smiled at her daughter for drawing him and her.

"Mom, what does dad look like?"

Her mother looked at his daughter and happily said:

"Hm... it's been a long time since I met him. I say your father has blonde hair and used to work in Tokyo as a train station worker. But it's a long time ago..."

"But Mom, can we play the game that you always play on the table?"

"Oh! That game! You're still a child. You wouldn't get it if you played it!"

"Pretty pls..."

Said Alice using his cute face at her mother.

"Alright then... But first, let me finish cooking the food"

Her mother looks back to see the food already burned.

"Oh no! The food is burn!?"

"Yay! Does that mean we can play now?"

Her mother sighed to see her cook already burned to a crisp.

"Yes..."

"Yay!"

Her mother looked at her child, who was excited like her father. She smiled and added:

'It's been a long time since I saw him... If he is still alive, he probably is the same as her daughter...'

***

Somewhere inside the hospital room, she seemed to be asleep in front of her mother, who seemed to be dying of old age, as she had been with her mother every day. Her mother patted her head and said:

"Alice, wake up, it's already morning..."

She started to wake up and was still sleepy. Her mother tries not to laugh at her messy hair and her everyday jacket. Her mother added:

"Even when you're already an adult you still look like a child that hasn't matured. I am sorry that you have to endure your mother, who is probably dying of old age."

She saw tears drop from her mother's eyes and she tried to cheer her up with a smile and happily said:

"It's fine, Mom! And it's what every child is supposed to do!"

She starts to fall for the chair for the act she made and successfully makes her mother laugh. Before she could speak any further her mother said to her:

"Alice... do you remember the game we used to play when you were a child until teenager?"

"Yeh, I remember that you used too many little soldier toys just to invade another country on that old map."

She was curious but still answered happily. Suddenly her mother said to her:

"I suppose you remember what I've said in the old days that this would be useful once you've become an adult.."

"Yeh, I remember it... but why? I don't think it would be useful?"

She started to be curious about why her mother would want him to remember the game she used to play with her.

"It will be Alice. But I think I should take a nap..."

The heart monitor shows no sign of beep, only a flatline.

She started to try to wake her mother up and try to say her name many times. Yet there was no answer for her mother. Her mother had passed away, and the last word she said to her was to remember it.

***

The cloud was dark enough to fill the light of the sun. It's starting to rain heavily, and She stood in front of her mother's grave, who she had been with every day. Her cry was filled with a drop of rain, and her only protection from the rain was her jacket.

She started to head back to her car, which was an old Toyota car. She drives the car home. Once she opens the door, she only meets the quiet sound. She starts to look at the table in the kitchen and remembers the old days with her mother before going upstairs to her bedroom to sleep.

Somewhere in the World border

Three people who seem to be the leaders of their own place are having conversations with each other at the futuristic round table. Furthermore, there were Five generals beside each leader

[The great leader of the Rebel Ores]

"Your weapon, your soldier, only works by using my kind!"

[Leader of the great Kyuram Empire]

"You said like all the resources across all the other world is your kind... that said you died for the bloodlust to kill anything they were not crystal! And why are you using a humanoid body when you hate them?"

Both leaders were holding their weapons, ready to attack each other. Before they could start to attack an auras bigger than they amid in the world border. The aura was so strong that they both felt fear.

[The true leaders]

"You fool only alive because I bring you back for the dead! You are only alive because I gave you a second chance!"

Once it's stopped the leader of the kyuram empire said:

"We've been here for a very long time. Where is this new so-called "leader of the dark realm"? Haven't you killed the first leader of the dark realm?"

"Yes, It's true that I assassinated him. But I also manipulate his daughter. The problem is how she will go into the world border. There is one solution for this kind of problem"

"Then what is the solution?"

"After many of research and other more about the dark realm. I have come to the conclusion that the island that the world centre people called Australia will be the next place she will appear. While we haven't marked our territory yet... the Oceania will be the territory of the dark realm..."

"Then what next once she appears?"

Said the Rebel Ores that was curious

"Once she appears, we should invade, attack, conquer the land for each of your own territory with your general... Anyway, there are about five continents. Only one of you can pick 2 of them..."

"Why only one?"

Said the kyuram leader, who was surely unsatisfied by the answer that was given by him.

"Because Africa and Europe are mine... If you do not agree with it, then Death will be your..."

The kyuram leader and the Rebel Ores leader look at each other.

"Guess I have no choice... sir?"

"You can call me the dealer"

"Right... I want a land that has every material that I need to make my soldiers and furthers away for that Bastard..."

"Material you said? Hm... That would be Asia"

"Then Asia is mine..."

"That settles then! The south and the north would be the territory of the Rebel Ores!"

"Now then! Let us go to our territory!"

The dealer starts to open a rift with each continent. Moreover, the rift has an image of a city such as Berlin, New York, and lastly Shanghai.

The Rebel Ores is the first to step foot into the rift before the Kyuram leader. Before he and his general could go inside he looked at the dealer and said:

"Once I am in the world centre... can you give me some soldiers to attack?"

"Yes, but it would look like a skill that could only be used one time. Moreover, Remember no earthlings..."

And lastly, they were the only dealer and his general had yet to step foot into the World Centre.

"We should disguise ourselves as a human. Don't even attack when I haven't said anything in the world centre! If you do I would gladly kill you by my own hand..."

The general didn't express any emotion and said

"Yes sir!"

"Good! Let us go into the world centre!"

***

A ringing of the alarm clock was heard so loudly that she started awake from a deep sleep.

She goes toward the bathroom to take a shower and brush her teeth. Then, wear new clothes and pants that seem to be the same but clean before going downstairs.

She took a sip of a coffee from the mug and added:

'I really need to find a job with a good salary...'

Before she could take another sip a knock was heard for the door. The man added:

"This is package delivery for Miss Alice"

"Wait I didn't order anything?"

"Well, it's yours, and sign this paper that this package is yours."

"But-"

"Just Sign the paper pls..."

"Alright?"

She signed the paper while bringing the package onto the table. She wasn't sure when she ordered it, but certainly, something inside the package was very important

Once she opened the package, it was only paper mail.

"W-who in the actual- why the package is big but only one mail! Gosh, I hope it was something important!"

Once she cut the paper mail there was a note. The note said:

"Congratulation! You've been invited by the Heroes organisation! You! Hero! You're now part of our organisation to protect our world from the doomsday that would come!"

On the back of the note was a coordinate somewhere in the south island, New Zealand

Even though she was confused about the note, she was lucky enough to be living on the southern island of New Zealand.

"H-heroes? Me? Is this some kind of comic?!"

Although she shrugs it off as the note could be a prank. A knock was heard on the door again.

'Another one?!'

She opened the door and angrily said:

"I am not the one who ordered the package!"

A man in the suit was shocked by what she said.

"Hello Miss Alice, I am from the Heroes organisation and would like for you to come with me. Also, I am not a delivery man"

***

Somewhere in the living room

"..."

"..."

Both were very Awkward about how it goes to this.

"You know... I thought this was just a prank... but if it's really true that the "Heroes organisation" exist why choose me?"

"Look, Mam... I don't know how it came to this. But certainly, something special or other that needed you in this organisation"

She sighed for a moment and added:

"Then when will I need to go to that place?"

"The coordinate?"

"Yeh, the coordinate! I already know where the location! And it's far away! My car is as old as the 1980 car!

"I-I am here to take you to that place..."

"Then what the point of giving me the coordinate!"

"Let's stop arguing and we should head to the place..."

"Right.."

***

"Alright were here"

Said the man drove to the place

"A bunker?"

"Yes, this the place. You should go toward the vault"

"Okay?"

She goes toward the vault. The vault started open by itself, and a clapping noise was heard inside the bunker.

"Well, took you long enough, Miss Alice! Then again, I never thought my creation could speak more. Oh yeah, do you know that the car and the guy were a hologram? "

"How- wait Hologram?!"

The man started to laugh and said:

"Oh, how I love using the 「Realism Hologram creation」 the new people!"

She looked back to see the car, and the driver was gone.

"I have no words..."

"Don't worry, you'll get used to it! Now let me help you meet the other."

"Alright?"

"By the way how did you know my name?"

"Uhh... let's talk about it inside the bunker...:

***

"So... am I supposed to be suprise? Scared? Or other kind of emotion?"

Said Alice, looking at the other ten people inside the meeting room.

"Well, I supposed you can say amuse... but anyway! The name John Woodland!"

She looked at John with emotion whatsoever and said:

"Really? I have no words to say 'cause they are a living puppeteer that could somehow drink!"

"Hey!"

"And there, the Power Ranger wannabe!"

'Rude...'

"L-look, I know this some awkward moment, but pls let them tell they name first..."

"John... does it even look awkward to you? You are all literally a hero! Why do heroes need civilians!"

"Well, how am I supposed to say this...? Miss Alice... You have a superpower..."

"Is that supposed to be a joke?"

"No..."

"Don't lie,"

"Yes, you have a superpower..."

"..."

"I am not taking it..."

He starts to sigh as he has expected he has to show it. Unexpected bullets were shot behind Alice's head.

"What the fuck?!"

"You're alive, Miss Alice. Your power activates by itself because you're in danger. Now you get it?"

"Yes.."

'Do they really have a gun aimed at me as proof?!'

"Now then, everyone, introduce yourself to Miss Alice!"

"I suppose I should be first. My name is Yuyu, and yes, I can drink and eat even though I am sort of a wooden puppet."

"Yuto Ikitsu and the purple ninja behind me is Kenji Hariku..."

"Old man, I am a mercenary!"

"Yeh, mercenary for kids!"

Both were ready to fight each other. Suddenly, a shield appears middle of them.

"Name Jake vines, don't worry about them. I have set a shield to not let them fight or harm others beside them. "

"Name Diego beside me a Morgan. He's the youngest of the group."

"Well, that would be every trump card in this group."

She raised her hand and said:

"Then I supposed you all knew about me?"

"Yes"

"Then, what is the reason for me to join this so-called heroes organisation?"

Diego looks at John who was already expected once again.

'You sure this is a good idea? This would cause another problem for her you know?'

'Well, I supposed they are no other reason for her not to know the reason...'

"Hm... how would I shorten it... It would be a long story... I supposed you and your mother would have the same trait..."

"How do you know my mother's?!"

'Dangit John you've done it again!'

"Let me short the long story when John over here can't do something that simple!"

'Wowie... that hurt...'

Diego looks at Alice with determination in his eyes and says:

"Your mother created this organisation; she found us who are lost in your planet, your people called Earth and lost ourselves for our home world and let us immigrate to this organisation with one rule... Protect the world from the impending doom!"

"Impending doom? Like what?"

"The end of your world and other worlds..."

"Otherworld...? Impossible... that is just a myth!"

"That's what you people said. Otherworld structure is based on the line of the souls that died, killed, and summoned. But before they can go to the otherworld they must make an agreement with the mysterious dealer inside the world border."

"What is this world border?"

"World border is a territory that defends your world or, I should say, your universe for every different otherworld universe."

"Hm... I think this would be enough reason why I have to join."

'Wow, Diego... old friend you aren't the bravest one in the old days. But still, this is an achievement the other would love to see.'

'Hm... if what Diego said is true what could I do to save my world?'

"Oh right! I almost forgot! I never saw or knew everyone's superpower! If your superpower is powerful enough, you can save this world in an instant!"

Diego starts to struggle when Alice starts to question their superpower. He looks at John and nods.

'John it's your turn to answer the question'

'Never mind... they would laugh if they saw him struggle to question it.'

'Sigh... I supposed it's my turn..."

"Well, the easiest question is that half-no, that's not right... every hero's superpower has been nerfed by your world law, I guess...."

"What?"

"Short answer: everyone's strongest skill has been deleted; vanish once we are transported to your world."

"H-how???? Is that possible???"

"Well, I don't know! It's not like I can change the rules of your world!"

Everyone looks at John with a suspicious face.

'John... you literally change half the time of the otherworld to the be same as your world. Not to mention you literally broke the rule of reality itself!'

'Look guys... the otherworld and this world are different... it's like punching a cardboard and saying you can punch a THICK metal until you create a hole in the centre of it."

Alice looks at everyone suspiciously, staring at John, who is sweating and is very confused.

'Why are they staring at John like he did something bad??? (She didn't know they could do telepathy)'

"Alright done with this staring contest! I am going home!"

Everyone finally snaps back for the telepathy and John says:

"You should head home... don't worry I spawn back the guy and the car for you"

"Oh thank you very much sir John and I'll be back with my decision if I want to join this organisation"

"Just call me John, Miss Alice"

Once she was out and the door closed John looked at others and said:

"Oh.. this will be one hell of the bloodiest fight! 1v7 me you Low z rank!"

"Oh, It's on, you bastard!"

The meeting room was so loud that the other rank could hear the fighting inside the meeting.

"What the hell is the z rank doing?"

"My guess? They are fighting each other..."

"Five bucks if only one defeats the other"

"Aight bet!"

Information for some skills and other

Realism Hologram Creation: A skill that can be used by the user to create a living object or other. The creation could live a normal life and have its own personality and its own emotions. But once they create, complete the task that was given by the user. They would vanish from existence.

(Warning: The user cannot respawn or bring back the creation that completes the task. This would create an error in the user creation that they bring back.)

World border: There are 2 world borders and that is the world border and the otherworld border. This border exists to protect both worlds and defend the world from a threat or merge together as one, which creates a massive problem for both worlds. Although the world protects the Earth and its universe. The otherworld border, on the other hand, is to protect the otherworld for the primordial existence that would break through the otherworld border and destroy both worlds.

(Warning: If the otherworld resets itself, it will not affect the universe inside the world border but recover the damage that was taken by the otherworld border.)
