Chapter 1: Prologue

Notes:

Hey, if you are reading this is actually my first fanfic that I am writing, so expect some awkward dialogue and stuff. I would appreciate criticism for this prologue and I hope you enjoy this story!

Edit: I cleaned up this chapter a bit since there def were parts that felt rushed out

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

It was another day for the 2 peculiar siblings, named Wise and Belle. They are currently completing a commission with Belle being the main proxy while Wise worked as the assistant proxy.

After a while they managed to finally complete the commission.

"Wooo, finally another commission complete!" Belle said with excitement

"Congrats sis on another commission completed" Wise said

"Thanks bro, hey let's get some noodles from General Chop. I am getting pretty hungry right now." Belle suggested

"Sure, let me just get ready first before we go" Wise said

"Alright bro, don't take too long!" Belle said

Wise then went up the stairs towards his room and started to get ready to go out, as he did so he started to get intrusive thoughts in his mind

'How long have I been doing this for...? I.. I just want to quit but I can't. I can't disappoint my sister like this and I still need to find my teacher...'

"Ugh, no stop thinking about this." Wise sighed "Let's not make Belle wait any longer now"

After meeting up with Belle, they went to the noodle store and bought some noodles. After General Chop gave their orders Belle noticed something odd with Wise.

"Hmm? Hey Wise, are you feeling unwell? Why haven't you eaten your noodles yet?" Belle asked

"Huh? Oh it's nothing. Just a little sleepy..." Wise said

"Seriously? It's the middle of the day! Well I guess if you are sleepy how about taking a nap? We don't really have anything major going on apart from some small commissions" Belle said

"Yea... maybe I should take a nap, thanks for the suggestion" Wise said

After Belle and Wise finished their meal they went back to the Random Play store and Wise crashed into his bed.

"Man... I guess doing proxy work is really taking a toll on me. I guess I should nap for a bit. Hopefully I can be more energetic after this" Wise said as he slowly drifted to sleep

-----

As Wise started to wake up he realised he wasn't in his room anymore and quickly got up.

"Where am I?!" Wise said with panic evident in his voice.

He sees that he is in a black hallway with white lines on the walls making rectangles. Suddenly, a wall suddenly appears in front of him with a face sculpted on it. Half of that face has masculine features while the other half has feminine features.

"I've been waiting for you, my lost child" the wall said in a masculine and feminine voice at the same time

"Who are you?!" Wise asked

"I am Ego Rex, I administer rules"

"What you will find, here with me"

"Is you, yourself"

"Go find Es, she can help you understand better" Ego Rex said

Ego Rex then disappears leaving Wise in a stupor before snapping out of it after seeing a white door.

'Well, I don't really have anywhere else to go so let's open the door then' Wise thought

As he opens the door he suddenly sees a massive library full of books devoid of color. In front of him he also sees a woman having long dark hair, braided and swept to her left wearing an elaborate and Victorian-era-style formal European attire, along with a pair of white gloves reading a book

This woman then looks up to see Wise looking back at her

"Well, look who showed up. I grew tired of waiting"

Notes:

So I hope you enjoyed this prologue, any criticism will be appreciated. Originally I wanted to write at least 5 chapters before posting but I realised that I get distracted way too easily so I will probably never get to post the story I want to write if I try doing that

So I am posting the prologue to motivate me to write further, if this worked then expect somewhat frequent chapter updates, if not well expect for each chapter to take awhile lol

I hope this prologue isn't too short.

Regardless, I hope you will enjoy this story.
