Today was the 16th of September XXXX in the Hyperdimension. The four nations continued to progress to a far more better future, Making what seemed to be a terrible era into a dream of the past.

All of this happened in this specific universe. . .

Gamindustri. . .

In this reality, 4 Console Patron Units or CPUs govern their own land from a separate world called Celestia . . .

The "Land of Black Regality" - Lastation - Governed by their CPU, CPU Black Heart. . .

"She's also somewhat of a Tsundere."

. . . .

The "Land of White Serenity" - Lowee - Governed by their CPU, CPU White Heart. . .

"She's as flat as a graph of your love life."

. . . . . . . . .

The "Land of Green Pastures" - Leanbox - Governed by their CPU, CPU Green Heart. . .

"She's a real per'Vert' if you get what I mean."

. . . . . . ╬ ╬ ╬

And last but not the least-

"The best nation in gamindustri led by yours truly! Ne-"

*Slam*

The "Land of Purple Progress" - Planeptune - Governed by their CPU, CPU Purple Heart.

"Hey, it's rude to slam the door on someone bucko!"

In the past, these four goddesses fought for the rule over gamindustri. . . Forever Etched in the annals of history. . .

The Console War

"Bah, they just can't contend to the ultimate protagonist-"

But after said war, Peace came all over the four nations. A Treaty was formed.

"Yeah! The super duper friendship law!"

As the Main Cast continue to live their usual lives, in a Spin off dimension however. . .

"Hey! Can you stop ignoring little ol' me?"

|♪♪♪♪♪|

"Why are we falling?!?!?!"

"Oh, great! Falling from the sky wasn't exactly on my to-do list today Kaide! You had better have a plan for this!"

Two figures continue falling from the sky as per usual in the neptunia series.

One of them, an older boy named Arc Kaide grabbed his companion and kept her close.

"Don't flail around Filyn! We can't let you get hurt can we?!"

"It's YOU who better not get hurt! I'm not dragging your unconscious body out of whatever mess we land in!"

The younger girl, Filyn, shouted back.

The boy positions himself below the girl as a preemptive decision to cushion the young girl from the fall.

"Do you have a plan then?!"

"You'd better come up with something fast, because I'm not cleaning up whatever splattered mess you leave behind!"

"How about I send you to Avalon? It would kill your momentum and drop you in the realm's ground like you just jumped."

"And have you become a splatter of blood wherever we fall? Like heck would I want to find out if I'll ever be able to leave your realm!"

The two continued falling for a few minutes until a sprawling landscape came into view below - verdant fields and shimmering lakes, with no clear landing spot.

"You know, I wasn't exactly expecting to be skydiving without a parachute today!" Filyn growled at Kaide who answered in return.

"Neither did I!"

Seeing the small panic in her companion's eyes made her hold unto him closer.

Kaide gritted his teeth as he looked below, the vibrant flower field rushing toward them at alarming speed.

"Alright, Filyn, hold on tight! We're doing this together!" His voice carried determination, but his heart pounded in his chest.

Filyn tightened her grip on him, her small arms clutching his waist with a vice grip.

"You'd better pull some miracle out of your pocket, Kaide! I'm not ready to be part of the scenery!"

Kaide glanced around frantically, scanning the approaching landscape for any sort of salvation. His mind raced.

'There's no way we're walking away from this unscathed if I don't do something.'

Then, as if the universe decided to give them a break, he spotted a cluster of shimmering energy at the edge of the flower field. A faint glyph, pulsing with magic, flickered like a beacon.

"There!" Kaide shouted, pointing. "Look at that!"

Filyn squinted through the rushing wind.

"That thing?! It's tiny! What if you miss?!"

"Then we can't miss." Kaide shifted his position, angling them both toward the glyph.

The magic whirred louder in his ears as they got closer, its energy pulling at him like an invisible current.

"It's an old transportation rune-probably left behind by the Lowee defense forces. If we time it right-"

"You don't sound very confident!" Filyn interrupted, her voice laced with panic.

"Trust me!" Kaide yelled back, focusing all his energy on steering them.

"We've got this!"

The air grew thicker with magic as they closed in on the glyph. Kaide summoned his latent energy to amplify the rune's dormant power. It responded, glowing brighter as if recognizing the command.

"Hang on, Filyn!"

Kaide's voice cracked with effort as he braced for impact. The glyph exploded with light as they collided with it, enveloping them both in a blinding flash.

When the light faded, the two found themselves sprawled in the soft petals of the flower field, dazed but very much alive. The magic had cushioned their fall, leaving only a few scratches and a pounding headache.

Filyn groaned, sitting up and brushing petals out of her hair.

"That. . . was the worst plan ever."

Kaide, flat on his back and catching his breath, let out a weak laugh.

"Hey, we're not splatters on the ground, are we?"

She scowled at him, though her eyes betrayed relief.

"Next time, I'm picking the plan."

"Fine," Kaide said, still lying in the flowers.

He turned his head to look at her, a soft smile breaking through.

"I'm glad you're okay."

Filyn huffed, though she couldn't hide the faint blush on her cheeks.

"Yeah, well. . . don't scare me like that again."

The two rest in silence for a bit, letting them catch their breath.

"Okay, first of all... whose bright idea was it to make this place colder than a freezer? Second, why are these flowers not dead in this weather?" 

Filyn stood up, brushing flower petals and snow off of her clothes while narrowing her eyes at Kaide, hands on her hips

"And third... where in the blazing multiverse are we?!" 

"We're on the outskirts of Lowee, one of the four major nations in Hyperdimension. To be honest, I didn't think it would be possible for us to go here."

Kaide grumbled, sitting up and rubbing his head.

"Right. That explains everything. Thanks, Kaide, super helpful. 'Lowee.' What's that supposed to mean? Sounds like someone sneezed while naming it." 

Filyn, clearly unimpressed, laced her words with sarcasm. Kaide sighed before standing up and gesturing toward the city in the distance.

"It's one of the nations ruled by a CPU, basically a goddess who governs this part of the world. Lowee is themed around snowy landscapes and old-school charm, and—" 

Filyn cuts her companion off before he could continue.

"Themed? This isn't some kind of carnival, right Kaide? 'Themed' doesn't make sense!" 

Before he could retort, she continued.

"And did you just say goddess? What kind of place runs on fairy tales? I swear, if she starts singing about true love, I'm out of here." 

Kaide, although already used to Filyn's antics, raises his eyebrow.

"You're not in Superdimension anymore, Filyn. Things work differently here. CPUs aren't just fairy tales, they're real. They govern nations, protect their people, and. . . well, it's complicated." 

He faces the direction of the city before reminiscing. Stories he read in his past life, now given life in physical form.

"Complicated. Great. Just what I needed. And what do these 'CPUs' even do? Hold hands with their people and sing songs about teamwork?" 

Filyn, filled with a mild suspicion regarding the city, crossed her arms and stared at the distance whilst also raising her own eyebrow.

Before she could think of anything else, she paused before looking at Kaide.

"Wait. Don't tell me you've been here before." 

"Nope. But I used to know a lot about this place."

"Perfect. So now I'm stuck here, in a snow globe, with someone who didn't think to warn me about falling out of the sky or meeting 'goddesses.'"

Filyn groaned in annoyance, throwing her head back before she starts pacing around and muttering to herself.

"And I thought my world was weird. . . we should've brought Chrome along. . ."

While Filyn continued to rack her brain for a plan, Kaide's mind went to a completely different direction.

[←←•→→]

In a quiet suburban home in Planevia, surrounded by a modest garden. The sun filters gently through the curtains as a young Arc Kaide — at three years old— sits in his bedroom, staring blankly at his reflection in a mirror. 

Kaide's small hands touched his face, the sensation unfamiliar yet unnervingly real. The weight of his body felt weird, and fragments of memories flickered through his mind like a static-filled screen.

He wasn't supposed to be here, not like this. He was someone — someone else — but why? 

The memories he clung to were a jumbled mess of vague recollections. He saw fleeting images of vibrant lands, of figures who wielded powers that defied explanation.

He heard echoes of laughter — one particularly stood out. It belonged to a girl, lively and mischievous.

Purple Heart.

No. . .

Neptune. 

The name rang like a bell in his mind, yet it felt distant, almost dreamlike. Was it a past life? A dream? He couldn't tell, but it left a strange ache in his chest. 

Three Months Earlier: 

Kaide had always been an inquisitive soul, even as a toddler. His parents, ordinary citizens of Planevia, were loving and supportive. His father, a Mechanical engineer, and his mother, a teacher, cherished their only child and often encouraged his curiosity. 

One evening, as they sat for dinner, Kaide's mother gently placed a hand on his head.

"Kaide. . ." she said warmly, using his nickname.

"You've been so thoughtful lately. What's on your mind?" 

Kaide hesitated, his tiny hands gripping his fork. How could he explain the fragments of another life, the knowledge of a world that didn't exist here? He settled on a simple response, his childlike voice trembling slightly.

"I feel... like I know things I shouldn't." 

His father chuckled, ruffling Kaide's hair.

"That's what happens when you read too much with Mom. You're a little genius, aren't you?" 

The words should have comforted Kaide, but instead, they felt hollow. He didn't feel like a genius—he felt like an imposter, a soul misplaced. 

|♪♪♪♪♪|

It wasn't until Kaide visited his cousin's house that the puzzle pieces began to fall into place.

His cousin, a spirited and carefree girl named Neptune (the real-world counterpart to Purple Heart), shared Kaide's curious nature.

She loved reading about ancient myths, particularly the legends of the "Goddesses" who were said to have once ruled vast lands. 

"Kaide!" Neptune exclaimed, holding up a dusty old book she'd found in an antique shop.

"Look! It's about the Goddess of Planevia. Isn't she amazing?" 

Kaide's eyes widened as he saw the familiar depiction — an armored figure with flowing lavender hair and a confident smile. The image sent a jolt through him.

He had seen her before, not in this life but in the hazy memories of another. 

"That's..." He trailed off, struggling to articulate his thoughts. 

Neptune tilted her head.

"Do you like it? You're staring like you've seen her before." 

Kaide shook his head, forcing a smile.

"She's... interesting. Tell me more?" 

Neptune eagerly flipped through the pages, explaining the myths of Planevia's goddess. As she spoke, Kaide felt an inexplicable connection to her — both to the girl in the book and the cousin sitting beside him. 

That night, Kaide sat by his bedroom window, staring at the stars.

He didn't know why he had been reborn or why he carried fragmented memories of a world that didn't exist in this dimension. But one thing was clear: this life, this family, and even his spirited cousin Neptune were his to cherish. 

For now, he would live as Arc Kaide — a boy with a normal family, a curious mind, and an extraordinary secret. 

But deep down, he couldn't shake the feeling that his past and present were intertwined. . .

[←←•→→]

"Alright, so. . . weird snowy land, giant castle, flowers that don't make sense. Nothing here screams 'helpful.'"

Filyn mutters to herself, pacing back and forth in frustration with her hands on her hips while scanning the unfamiliar landscape. The faint scent of frost and blooming petals mixing in the crisp air. Her violet cape flutters slightly in the cool breeze as she glares at the distant city of Lowee, its castle-like structures just barely visible. She then paused to take a glance at him, realizing he's unusually quiet.

"I swear, Kaide — you'd better start talking soon. I don't have the patience to play 'figure out the magic land' by myself."

Not receiving a response from Kaide, she raises an eyebrow.

"Hey. What's with the brooding silence? If you've got some big brain move, now's the time to share it."

Kaide's mind drifts as Filyn's voice fades into the background. The serene flower field reminds him of another place — a world far removed from the chaos of Hyperdimension. A fleeting memory surfaces, painted in muted colors.  

[←←•→→]

On a warm summer morning in the Kaide family home in Planevia. Seventeen year old Kaide is packing his belongings, an odd mixture of excitement and nervousness in his chest. His parents stand nearby, their expressions a mix of sternness and love.

Kaide zips his backpack shut before turning to his parents.

"Are you sure about this?"

He asks with uncertainty in his voice. His father, a tall man with graying hair and a kind smile, pats his son on the shoulder.

"You're seventeen, Kaide. It's time for you to see the world — or rather, worlds — for yourself."

Kaide frowned, a little confused and curious.

"Worlds? What do you mean?"

His father grinned before handing him a small, sleek device that looked like a wristwatch. Its interface emits a faint glow.

"This is something I've been working on in secret. It's a dimensional travel device I call 'Dimenswatch E.X.A.'. It's a little unstable since I haven't finished working on the warp system properly, but it works. You can use it to visit other dimensions and experience things no one else has. Consider it my parting gift for you."

Kaide stared at the device, stunned. 

"Dad, are you serious? Dimensional travel isn't even possible as far as I know."

"Most people think that because they haven't worked with me."

his father replied, a glint of pride in his eyes.

"But you'll find that our world has more connections to others than you'd imagine. Just promise me you'll use this responsibly. To learn, grow, and — most importantly — live."

His mother hugged him tightly.

"We'll miss you, Kaide, but we know you need this. It's time to spread your wings."

Kaide sighed, slipping the device onto his wrist.

"I guess I don't have a choice. Thanks, Dad. I'll make you proud."

[←←•→→]

The cold wind breeze past his face, pulling him out of his memory. He blinks, his bright cyan eyes refocusing on the flower field around him. Filyn's irritated voice breaks through his haze.

"Hey! Superdimension to Kaide! Are you going to stand there looking mysterious all day, or are you going to help me figure out where we go from here?"

She complained with her arms crossed, a little annoyed that he just ignored her.

"...Sorry Filyn." He stands up, brushing off snow and petals from his coat.

"Just thinking."

"Oh, great. Just what we need. Brooding and being cryptic, why not use this chance to be useful and make a plan? Do we head to that castle-town-looking place, or do we just sit here and freeze to death?"  

Kaide gazes at Lowee's direction.

"I guess Lowee would be the safest place we can go to for tonight since we don't have anywhere else to go."

The two of them started to walk towards Lowee.

"So what's the plan?"

Filyn asks, her gold and black boots scrunching the snow beneath her soles.

"Well, as long as we don't cause trouble, we wouldn't have the guards knocking where we're staying at."

"Ugh, why is it always 'don't cause trouble' with you? That's, like, my second best skill!"

She pauses, thinking for a moment, then sighs.

"Fine. We'll do it your way. But if trouble comes knocking, You deal with it."

"That's exactly the plan. We'll. . . uhh. . ."

His train of thoughts trailed off.

"You'll. . . ?" Filyn prompted, tilting her head as she waited for him to finish.

"We'll do quests for the guild whenever we can — at least until I figure out how to make a stable income."

Filyn narrowed her eyes at his suggestion, suspicion creeping into her voice. 

"Why don't you just get those novels you wrote serialized by a book firm?"

Kaide blinked, momentarily caught off guard. 

"That's. . . actually a good idea. I researched how novels are published back where I'm from. And seeing how popular Blan— I mean, Snow Heart's books are where I came from, it could be a decent source of income. Besides, if my novels flop, I still have my trusty partner to help me earn some money through the guild."

The faint hum of Kaide's futuristic sword on his back buzzed softly as it shifted with his movements. Filyn trudged beside him, grumbling under her breath but clearly going along with his plan.

"With everything you've told me about this dimension,"

Filyn snarked,

"You'd probably have better luck in Leanbox. You seem to know the CPUs here in Hyperdimension on a personal level. It's almost like you married them."

Filyn snides the remark, forcing Kaide to look at her with disgust.

"Please don't make that statement ever again. They may look good, but choosing a partner is more complicated than judging about looks."

Filyn smirked, clearly enjoying his reaction. 

"You sound very defensive. Did you have the hots for them before?"

Kaide groaned, rubbing his temples in frustration. 

"I regret telling you anything about my past."

She snickered, patting his shoulder mockingly. 

"You'll get over it, author-boy. Now, let's get moving before we freeze out here."

The two continued their trek towards Lowee, the lights of the city growing closer with every step, the faint promise of warmth and shelter driving them forward.

"On another note, I'll have to choose between three stories so any suggestions would be appreciated"

Filyn, surprised at his words, raised an eyebrow.

"You have more than two? Do you have some sort of school-girl fetish?"

Kaide sighed, Knowing Filyn wouldn't stop after feeding her more fuel for teasing.

"Just because they have school-girl characters in it doesn't say anything about my tastes."

He looks away before huffing out an annoyed tone.

"Since 'Bofuri: I Hate Pain, So I'll Train My Defense' is centered around gaming, It should become a good starting point. . . . right?"

Filyn shakes her head before catching up to Kaide's big strides. Their height differences really irritates her at times.

It's been a long time since I touched up on the Neptunia franchise that the moment this idea came up, I was already hooked. this'll be a side project before I decide it's time I publish the PokéFic I promised.
