In the hum of the breeze, the blade as white as snow pointed its sharp edge at the riverside town.
That's where the story ends.
That's where the story begins.
02.
The young man's smile was bright, as bright and warm as the sun through the clouds.
He held out his hand to the girl.
"I want to adopt you. Do you want to come with me, Dawn Night?"

She knew that what she was seeing was no ordinary nightmare or hallucinationβ
That's what happened, the "future."
02.
The cold blade sank into the boy's body. She watched as she drew her knife and let bits of scarlet splash onto the boy's snowy hair.
The boy fell silently in the rain. The initiator stood in the "black" queue and smiled in the most standard appearance.
She bowed reverently towards the "abyss".
"The task is complete. Infiltrator No. 0981, apply to return to the team. β

They are the darlings of fire, and their red eyes are full of the color of magma.
On that day, the birds of fire spread their wings, and the land of Mt. Aso rose with the hottest flames.
02.
"Wow, my hat ......"
The young man sitting on the bed reached out and took the cap of the person opposite him, and put it on his head with a smile. As soon as the boy with tears in the corners of his eyes looked up, he was overwhelmed by the sudden warmth around his neck.
"Instead, I'll give you the scarf. It's a testament to our friendship. β
03.
Time passes. The flame-colored boy stood tall in the lava, his slightly sweaty fingers clasping the soft fabric around his neck.
"Sorry, four years late...... But I finally understood how you were feeling. β
"-I won't run away this time, I'm going to fight to show you!"

Metal walls, high ceilings, harsh fluorescent lamps and icy shackles. This is the scene that Xia Yang Yuanqing is most familiar with in the past two years, and it is also the scene that he hates the most.
02.
"Unmarked Lifeform Intrusion Detected - Sweep Mode On. β
The male narrowed his fox-like eyes and bowed his head to the massive bird-like shadow.
"I will remove all obstacles for you - by my life. β
03.
The blonde youth in a prison uniform struggled to his feet. The chains that bound his hands and feet clanged, and his smile was as bright as it had been two years ago.
"It doesn't help to stay here any longer β save others first. That's an order. β
The brilliant blue light filled the snow-white buildings, turning into the waves of the sea that shook the boulders.
"Xiaojie, Xiaoling, and Sharo......"
"I'm sorry. β

01.
On the distant border continent, there is a tropical rainforest called Gaiana. It is covered with dense vegetation all year round, gloomy and rainy, and the magnetic field is chaotic, and it is a forbidden area of life that is difficult for ordinary people to set foot in.
02.
"A miraculous adventure, set sail again!"
"Good morning, Warriors of Freedom, I am Frank Ferdinand, the leader of the Miracle Expedition. We will soon set off on a journey to the Gaiana Rainforest on the border continent to find traces of the legendary PokΓ©mon 'Dream', and welcome warriors from all walks of life to join the ......"
Amid the whispers of onlookers, the purple-haired girl smiled.
The words she heard were familiar to her a year ago. The road under her feet was also the one she had decided on a year ago.
03.
In the midst of the storm, a hazy pink figure hides between the lightning, like a demon god who brings disaster. The girl is like a moth chasing hope, riding the blue thunder and moving forward desperately.
She asked the gods.
"Please tell me...... Why did I come into this world?"

Their hair is covered by the deep greenery of the trees, the breeze caressing the leaves is their laughter, and the "elves" who live in symbiosis with the forest are their unwavering faith.
"PokΓ© Balls are blasphemous. Trainer ...... It's not supposed to exist!"
On January 3, 987 in the Elven calendar, the battle of annihilation of Somiana began.
02.
"Enough is enough, don't fight any more!"
The dark green boy's crying voice was drowned out by the sound of an explosion. Through the blinding firelight, a cacophony of malicious voices came from all around.
"Dare to shield their people, the sin is unforgivable!"
"You are ashamed of the souls of the soldiers who died on the battlefield!"
"Do you understand that for the sake of the remnants of a forest people, do you want to be the enemy of the entire alliance?"
The boy riding Charizard lowered his ice-blue eyes, and his awe-inspiring color was gone.
"I can't ask for it. β

According to legend, the god of the stars resides in the western land and only awakens once every thousand years.
It gives its power to the land beneath its feet and to the people who love it.
02.
"I come from the kingdom of Oran, the land of the stars. β
The young man in the sun hat bowed deeply and smiled softly at the person in front of him.
"May God bless you. β
03.
The beast bared its fangs, accompanied by a voice with implicit murderous intent.
"Looks like you're ready to go to hell to confess, right?"
The boy's thin body trembled incessantly, but his feet did not move as if they had taken root.
It's scary......
It's scary...... But......
I...... Don't want to see important people disappear before your eyes anymore!

01.
At the end of the sea, a palace of flames slowly rises.
The deadline for the "millennium" is approaching.
02.
"Haha, that's a problem. β
Despite his forced smile, sweat was already on the blonde boy's forehead.
The red slate in his arms was like a living thing, and it seemed that it was about to break free from its restraints and burn all the creatures in the temple. The physical strength is being consumed, the will is disappearing, but the azure eyes are gradually brightening.
Those who try to get close to the flames will be reduced to ashes. Unlessβturn oneself into flames.
03.
"Wait, Blaoh, if that fails, you'll ......"
"No kidding. β
The gray-haired boy interrupted the conversation, and the fire flickered and danced in his bright golden eyes.
"Bet on the dignity of the main attackers of this team, I will suppress them all, and I will never let you be hurt in the slightest. β
Thunder rang out.
"βI'm going to open the way!"

01.
"The tower is collapsing!!"
In the midst of hysterical screams, the sky lantern in the form of a flaming bird fell from the top of the festival's tower, shattering into the flames of Shura's hell.
As if hypnotized collectively, a person's sense of crisis is infinitely magnified. Crowding and trampling shattered what should have been a beautiful moonlight.
02.
The darling of the fire threw away all scruples and raised his drumsticks high.
"βbut, at least I know what I'm supposed to do now. β
Knock! Knock!
The huge sound was as powerful as the mountains and seas, and it instantly spread throughout the city. People of the older generation may remember that thirteen years ago, when the Somiana Annihilation War began, such a voice sounded in Mihara City.
It was - the sound of war drums.
03.
Surrounded by the sound of the golden iron horse, the blonde boy suddenly felt a hot temperature gushing out of his heart.
Although he was born and raised in peace, although he only saw a frontier war with his father when he was a child-
As if guided by a will in his veins, his soul traveled through time and space to the sound of drums to the war-torn land.

There was once such a legend - in the endless sea, sometimes a melodious flute sounded. Where the melody is played, the wind is calm, the sun is shining, and all anger and hatred will be purified.
02.
"Today is sunny and cloudless, with winds of three or four levels, which is a good weather suitable for going to sea. The short girl was dressed in a military uniform and saluted as standard, "The third formation of the Navy trainee field doctor Shimizu Wind Chimes has arrived!"
03.
"Oops, it's the Howler Whale Pack!"
"The sea god is angry, get out of this sea area!"
The solitary altar swayed in the stormy seas, ready to dissipate like a bubble.
"In that case...... I'll play it. β
The violently shaking waves reflected the resolute expression of the girl in military uniform.
"Whether the other party is a god or a ghost, I will definitely convey the "words" to the past. The lightweight earthenware instrument was held tightly in the girl's palm, "Our side is ...... too." It's not a half-hearted fight!"

The sound of gunfire and fire awakened the nightmare of five years ago. As the gavel of the trial was struck, the blood-soaked case gradually disappeared from viewβand these were only one of the insignificant "fragments" strung together by black chains.
02.
"I will plead guilty. β
The silver-haired boy closed his eyes, and the shadow cast by his bangs obscured his expression.
"Five years ago, the person who took the life of Kamiwa Yuumi ......"
"βit's me. β
03.
The shadows of the past turned into heavy mountains, gradually robbing the oppressed boy of his breath. However, the man's words dispelled all the gloom.
Just as the day in the ruins, she stood in the light and stretched out her hand to herself.
04.
"No, you are innocent. Even if you believe in your sins, I won't believe them. β
The boy raised his gaze in surprise, and the smile of his purple-haired friend was reflected in his ice-blue pupils.
Calm and firm, as always.
"I'll prove it to you. Your nightmares are just nightmares. β

01.
We can easily read the voices of others. As a result, it is doubly difficult to convey your voice. That's fair enough.
Even so, I have to keep trying, I have to tell the truth, in order to fundamentally change this society β that's my vow as a mind reader, as a poker boss.
02.
"You're very good at using lies. I don't mean to accuse you, but I want you to rememberβ"
"Don't lie when confronted with your true best friend. β
03.
"I won't believe this crappy reason. Why did you do that, Rhine?"
Looking at his friend's golden eyes, which were becoming more and more scorching due to anger, the black-haired young man with small tiger teeth maintained an unchanging sly smile on his face, but he sighed softly in his heart.
But big brother, I'm sorry. Whether it's telling a lie or the truth, it's too hard.
It's too hard to convey your heart.

The glorious sun wheel casts a shadow and turns into a sword pointing to the earth.
02.
"It's almost over. β
The corners of the mouth of the young man who controlled the space hooked up a stubborn arc.
"It's time for my favorite two choices β your life, your wishes. β
"Take one. β
03.
Come to an end?
The purple-haired young trainer threw away his blood-soaked coat. Cheap cloth wrapped around the red and white balls and sank, submerging with the creatures in the endless waters.
The light purple in the pupils fades. The blue and blood of the waveguide are intertwined and turn into a dazzling light.
How could I let their future end there?

01.
Far away, the clouds carry another country. Facing the rising sun, the palace floating in the clouds is dyed gold.
02.
"Do you know your own 'truth'?"
The man dressed in white turned against the light and turned around. The gentle and laughing voice is like the sun, but the listener feels a chill to the bone.
β......γ You're my proudest ......."
"Weapons." β
