Chapter Text
This may be a bit overdone, but every permutation of existence has at least an infinite number of chances for this to happen. This is just the current one with three of the usual suspects. A fool trapped in a cheated game, a boy who seeks the protection of the innocent and is beaten to proverbial and literal death because dad is a colossal douche no matter how much the intentions were pure, and a wizard who barely survived his own personal hell for what made him special, only to come out as a force that is the hope of his world...While said world still acts like hell. Of course, there is also the sacrificial prison and his reincarnated "elder" brother who was forced to abhor his blood, the young man whose very existence is the control of the virtual with an older wife and AI daughter, The Totem of The Center, the temporal Nephilim in mortal flesh and sealed tome, the original Dragon Prince, the young Guardian pushed to the edge, and The Second Son with lots of spunk and tribal obligation. This, is "their story".

User 1: ...Good quote, at least.
User 11: Before I nitpick at you, and also before I congratulate you on good taste, which do you prefer? The original video or compilation?
User 1: YES
User 2: ...The first thing when I finally finish one of these that was dumped in Hage, and the multiverse is what I have to deal with? Wish I was surprised.
User 3: ...I thought I was done with multiversal shenanigans after the world merger four years ago.
User 1: Which one?
User 4: Why are you people so calm about this?! Multiversal? What?!
User 5: I have needed this!! This is so much better than those therapy sessions maman and papa drag me to!!
User 1: Agreed, and mood. Though, at least we know one of us is French?
User 5's name has been changed to Marinette
Marinette: ...Oh come on!! When half my nationality was revealed!! Really?!
User 2 has changed their name to Asta
Asta: Not my first time tinkering with tech and learning about stuff I shouldn't. Definitely won't be my last with a godling here.
User 3's name was changed to Peter by Asta
Peter: ...How did you..?
Asta: Typical reaction.
User 6: How is this connecting me to the outside world!?
Asta: ...Ok that wasn't expected, I'm looking through these connected universe web articles... The fuck is The Daily Prophet?
User 4: Oh bloody hell.. This may actually be universal. The fuck is a "Bio-terrorist?"
User 4's name has been changed to Harry
User 11's name has been changed to Delsin
Harry: ...
Delsin: ...Ok, why was bio-terrorist needed to change mine? I only just learned what I was, and that isn't even the right term!!
User 7: Kirito-kun, why is there a tab talking about super heroes like a paid profession? That's completely different from anything in this medieval style game.
User 6's name "Kazuto Kirigaya" has been changed to gamertag "Kirito"
User 7's name has been changed to Asuna
User 1's name has been changed to Izuku
Izuku: ...Guess I've been exposed, then. Joy.
Kirito: You used your real name for your gamertag?
Asuna: Gimme a break, it's my first game I've ever played. Plus it's not like it's an uncommon name.
Delsin: Online etiquette 101 girly, never use your real name. Only exceptions are Single Player Only, only with friends, or the TOS has beyond strict rulings and requirements stating that only the real name can be used to prevent catfishing or illegal actions in the company's name.
Asta: That just seems like general common sense, and this coming from a guy who, until now, didn't have access to proper technology that actually could connect to anything remotely similar to the internet or be used for everyday stuff.
Marinette: ...Are you from the dark ages or something?
Asta: Technically I'm in what you'd call a "Bermuda Triangle" zone.
User 12: Same here. Actually, the GPS function (how can I use this on this train while not feeling motion sick!?!) shows that me, you, and Marinette are part of the same world Asta... just in different sections of the unique magic zone the literal Bermuda Triangle is in.
User 12's name has been changed to Natsu
Marinette: Wait the Bermuda Triangle connects to parallel dimensions?!
Izuku: There are also theories that the Triangle connects to other worlds, other timelines, or just a pocket dimension to nowhere.
Marinette: That's insane. And completely on-brand with all the other nonsense I've had to deal with before this chat.
User 9: Hn
User 9's name has been changed to Sasuke
Translation: Why was I added to this nonsense and how can it help me kill Itachi?
User 8: Calm down, teme, you should know almost as well as me the only reason Crow-nii would do something like that is if he were forced to under orders. You did read that file I stole from him before he committed the massacre that your dad and the elders were planning a coup and that bastard Danzo wanted to steal Shisui's eyes to prevent the Kotoamatsukami from rewriting their perception of their reality to be loyal and willing to protect and be more open to dialogue with the village.
Sasuke: ...Ok, screw you, Naruto.
User 8's name has been changed to Naruto
User 10: ...
User 10 has changed their name to Ren
Ren: Might as well introduce myself since I'm the last one. Hi, I'm Amamiya Ren, and I wanna shoot God in the face and kick a politician in the balls.
