The Promise in Sky Metropolis and Ichigo's Destiny
Above the majestic clouds of Sky Metropolis City, a gust of wind blew through a young boy's orange hair. Ichigo Kurosaki stood breathless, staring at the figure of the legendary hero standing before him. Sadness and confusion loomed in his eyes after the series of strange events that had befallen his family.
"Do you know where my mother is?" Ichigo asked, his voice trembling but filled with determination.
The orange-clad man, Son Goku, looked at him with a warm yet firm gaze. "She's with my wife, Chichi, and Bulma, in the hospital. She's safe there, Ichigo."
Ichigo took a deep breath, his tense shoulders relaxing slightly. "Get some rest," Goku continued, knowing the boy's body was reaching its limit.
However, instead of backing down, Ichigo clenched his fists tightly. His past weaknesses made him no longer want to be a bystander in the storms of fate. "Goku-san, can you train me?"
Goku raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised by the sudden request from such a young child. "How old are you?"
"I'll be 10 next month."
Goku paused for a moment, assessing the massive spiritual energy (Reiryoku) potential pent up within Ichigo's body, which resonated with his pure warrior aura. A faint smile appeared on the Saiyan's face.
"I will train you for the next five years. Once you turn 15, you will go to Tokyo to attend a Tokyo high school and practice controlling your power there."
"Very well!" Ichigo replied without hesitation.
"Be prepared, this training will be very demanding for you, Ichigo."
"I'm ready!"
And so, under the unfamiliar skies of Metropolis, the training contract that would eventually produce one of the strongest protectors of the dimension officially began.
Part II: The Sengoku Jidai Era and the Establishment of the Fallen Lands
1450 AD – Ancient Japan.
Fifty years before the waves of the Age of Pirates swept across the world's oceans, Japan was at the height of the chaos of the Sengoku Jidai. War raged not only among human samurai, but also between two major supernatural factions vying for the supreme throne of Yokai.
In the East, reigned Kyubi no Yoko Kurama, the legendary nine-tailed fox who led all the Yokai of the Kyoto region. Meanwhile, in the West, from behind Osaka Castle, Ryugu Jiken Naga commanded legions of monsters from the western seas and lands. The trigger for this holy war was the vacancy of the throne after the Ten-Tailed Nana Leonin was permanently sealed by Inari no Taisha—the first incarnation of the Sun Goddess Amaterasu no Mikoto—for inciting destruction in the Land of the Gods.
The collapse of the Land of the Gods left behind a terrifying, uninhabited region called the Fallen Lands. This place quickly transformed into a cosmic gladiator arena, where formidable fighters from the Demon, Yokai, Fallen Angel, and Human factions battled for three things: Wealth, Fame, and Absolute Power.
However, humans in this era were no pushovers. They rose to power by mastering the pure life energy known as Nen. These supernatural hunters were called Hunters. At the forefront of the Dark Continent's battles stood four great families of hunters whose reputations were feared even by the Demon race:
The Kuruta Family: Possessors of glowing red eyes that harbor limitless emotional power.
The Zoldyck Family: A dynasty of cold-blooded assassins with perfected Nen assassination techniques.
The Netero Family: Masters of spiritual martial arts with speeds exceeding sound.
The French Family: Western tacticians who blend ancient magic and monster hunting.
These four families guarded Earth's borders against the invasion of the Dark Continent's ancient monsters while the Yokai were busy fighting in Osaka and Kyoto.
Part III: 300 Million Years Ago – The Rupture of the First Dimension and the Origins of Trihexa, Ouroboros, & Great Red
Long before human history was recorded, the timeline was pulled back 300 million years to the First Dimension, Universe 7.
A devastating war broke out between the Seven Superior Entities (The Six Superior Entities & The Doomsday Beast), entities that had surpassed the limits of fictional divinity. They were Chaos, Cosmos, Hikari, Yami, Saikatsu, and the Doomsday Beast Dragon, Catastrophe.
The battle between the Cosmos Dragon (Ametyse Ryu Shinie) and the Chaos Dragon (Amyeste Ryu Jin) and the Catastrophe Dragon (Amonyaste Ryu Shinjie) shook the foundations of the 12 universes. They fought without regard for space, leaping from one dimension to another, destroying young galaxies.
"Blaar! Blaar! Blaar!"
The Chaos Dragon unleashed Destruction Orbs aimed directly at the heart of Catastrophe. Due to the scale of this destruction, the other cosmic rulers were forced to intervene to prevent a total apocalypse. The 7 Dragon God Emperors of the 7 Dimensions, along with twelve
The 12 Kio Shin, guardians of the universe, and the 10 Ancient Gods united to stop the war between the three dragons.
The battle ended with the destruction of the First Dimension and the fragmentation of the 7 Worlds into separate smaller dimensions. The seven exhausted Dragon God Emperors were ultimately sealed into mystical objects scattered throughout the universe.
Seeing the utter destruction, Kami-sama (the Great Creator) intervened to deliver absolute judgment. Kami-sama erased the existence of three entities: Yami, Hikari, and Cosmos from the fabric of space-time.
"Why did you eliminate me, Kami-sama?!" roared Cosmos before his essence was dissolved into cosmic dust. Meanwhile, Hikari, in her final moments, was filled with deep regret for having participated in the war that cursed the dimension they all lived in.
On the four remaining disastrous beings, Kami-sama applied eternal seals:
Shinju (God Tree): Sealed within the core of the Moon.
Saikatsu: Banished and locked in the Afterlife Dimension.
Chaos Dragon (Amyeste): Its overpowering power was forcibly divided into three independent entities that would eventually rule the dimensional rifts of the modern world: Trihexa (Apocalypse Beast 666), Ouroboros (Ophis), and Great Red (True Dragon Emperor).
After clearing the remnants of the cosmic war, Kami-sama established a small blue planet called Earth as a neutral sanctuary—a place where all beings, humans, monsters, and remnants of the gods, could share life in a new order.
Part IV: The First Book of Creation and the Departure of the Fairy Tail Team
Andalusia, Spain – 2015 CE.
In an ancient underground chamber in Andalusia, the walls of which were covered with sacred carvings depicting Constantine's Crusade, a blonde girl slowly walked forward. Candlelight illuminated Lucy Heartfilia's face as she gazed at a replica of an ancient altar.
"You, who are imprisoned in this place... you will soon be free," a very soft female voice whispered through the air, sending shivers down Lucy's spine.
Lucy turned her gaze to the altar table, where the Secret Book of the First Creation lay. Carefully, she flipped through the thick, 30-volume tome, totaling 140,000 pages. This ancient book held all the secrets of the universe:
Volume 1: The Secret of Creation
Volume 2: The Secret of the Conqueror
Volume 3: The Creator of All Things
Volume 4: The Creation of Angels and Demons
Volume 5: The Creator of Life
Volume 6: The Creation of Spirits and Souls...
Each volume consists of 2,500 pages, plus a 13-page special supplement detailing the Sacred Gears—Secret Devices created by God to maintain the balance of human life.
"This book is so thick, it'll take years to read it all. I'll just read the important stuff for now," Lucy muttered, picking up her magic pen. "I'd better underline the important pages."
Suddenly, the door to the room above the stairs opened. Her mother peeked her head in with a bright smile. "Lucy, Natsu is outside, he wants to see you. Hurry down, dear."
As Lucy prepared to close the book, a heavy spiritual echo resonated directly inside her head, as if an ancient entity were watching her from behind the ancient text.
"Grow up... and free me from these shackles..."
Lucy gasped, shaking her head to dispel the fear. "Yes, Mother! I'll be right down!" she shouted, quickly locking the book and running downstairs.
In the living room, Natsu Dragneel was waiting with his signature wide grin, accompanied by Happy floating beside him.
"Lucy! I'm glad you came to see me," Natsu said in his casual, familiar way to Lucy's mother before turning to face her friend.
"Natsu, what are you doing here in full uniform?" Lucy asked, surprised.
"We have new orders! We're going to Kuoh Town to attend school there. Master Makarov has given us special permission and access to Fairy Tail High School's Kuoh Branch. This mission is ranked S+!"
Lucy's eyes widened with joy. "Wow... after four years of waiting, Master has finally given us permission to move into the heartland of the supernatural!"
Little did they know, their departure for Kuoh Town would plunge Lucy, Natsu, and the First Book of Creation directly into the vortex of conflict between Rias Gremory's student council faction, the reincarnation of the Five Children of the Prophecy, and an ancient intrigue involving Great Red at Tokyo University.
"Do you know where my mother is?" Ichigo asked.
"She's with my wife, Cici, and Bulma, in the hospital."
"Get some rest."
"Goku-san, can you train me?"
Goku raised his eyebrows.
"How old are you?"
"I'll be 10 next month."
"I'll train you for the next five years. After you turn 15, you'll go to Tokyo to study at a Tokyo high school and hone your powers."
"Okay."
"Get ready, this training will be very tough for you."
"I'm ready!"
1450
Fifty years before the end of the pirate era, the Sengoku Jidai era began in Japan. At that time, two supernatural powers in Japan were at odds: the Kyubi no Yoko Kurama, the leader of the Kyoto yokai, and the Ryugu Jiken Naga, the leader of the western yokai in Osaka.
They were determining the next great yokai leader. After Nana Leonin, the Ten-Tailed Demon, was sealed by Inari no Taisha, the first incarnation of Amaterasu no Mikoto, causing chaos in the Land of the Gods, it fell. It was called the Fallen Land, where great warriors from all factions of the world fought.
To compete for wealth, fame, and power, humans also possessed the power to hunt Yokai, known as Hunters, using the power of Nen.
The most famous Hunters at that time were the four great families: the Kuruta family, the Zoldik family, the Netero family, and the French family.
These four families were at the forefront of the Dark Continent, hunting monsters and creatures unknown to humans, Yokai, and Demons.
300 Million Years Ago
First Dimension
Universe 7
A great war broke out involving the Seven Supreme Beings. Beings who had attained the level of divinity. They fought for influence and even turned on each other. They were Chaos, Cosmos, Hikari, Yami, Saikatsu, and the Apocalypse Dragon Catastropse.
The battle between Cosmos Dragon Ametyse Ryu Shinie and Chaos Dragon Amyeste Ryu Jin and Catastropse Dragon Amonyaste Ryu Shinjie shook the 12 universes. They leaped from the first universe to another.
"Blaar!" "Blaar!" "Blaar!"
The Chaos Dragon used a destructive ball aimed at Catastropse, also known as Amonyaste.
In this battle, they brought together superior beings to stop them. The 7 Dragon God Emperors from the 7 Dimensions, the 12 Koio Shin guardians of the universes, and the 10 ancient gods participated in this war. Their battle destroyed the first dimension and left the 7 worlds in ruins.
The beings fought each other. The seven Dragon God Emperors were sealed in an object that they scattered throughout the universe. The 12 Guardians of the universes and the 10 ancient gods agreed to end the war with the seven divine entities. The battle between the seven entities ended with them being severely injured. Seeing the destruction of the seven dimensions, Kami also eliminated three entities: Yami, Hikari, and Cosmos.
"Why did you eliminate me, Kami-sama?" Cosmos asked.
Hikari deeply regretted joining the war that destroyed the Seven Dimensions. She cursed her actions that destroyed the Dimension where they and others lived.
Kami-sama sealed the four beings of Calamity within 36 statues, the Shinju were sealed on the Moon, Seikatsu in the Underworld Dimension, and the Chaos Dragon split into three forms. They are now known as Trihexa, Oroboros, and Great Red.
Kami established Earth as a place for all beings. A place where all beings share their lives.
Andalusia, Spain, 2015 AD
A woman entered the room, which bore the engraving of the holy war that took place here and Constantine.
"You are imprisoned here. Soon you will be free," said a very gentle female voice.
Lucy was reading the Secret Book of the First Creation, flipping through the pages. There were 30 volumes in the First Book, which was approximately 140,000 pages long.
Volume 1: The Secret of Creation
Volume 2: The Secret of the Conqueror
Volume 3: The Creator of All Things
Volume 4: The Creation of Angels and Demons
Volume 5: The Creator of Life
Volume 6: The Creation of Spirits and Souls, etc.
One volume consists of 2,500 pages plus 13 additional pages that tell about the Device God created for the welfare of humanity, the Secret Equipment.
"This book is so thick, it would take years to read it all. I'll just read the important things for now," Lucy said.
Lucy was reading the book in her room.
"I'd better underline the important pages."
A woman entered Lucy's room. She said, "Lucy, Natsu is outside, he's meeting you. Come down quickly, child."
From her room, after her mother came down, Lucy felt something watching her.
"Grow up quickly and free me from these shackles..."
"Yes, Mom. I'll be down soon," Lucy said.
"Lucy, I'm glad you came to see me," Natsu said.
"Natsu, what are you doing here?"
"We're going to Kuoh Town for school. Master Makarov has given us permission to go there."
