Chapter 68 - The prologue

Prologue: The Stream Beyond the Multiverse

In the place beyond names, beyond beginnings, beyond even the stories themselves... something watched.

It was not a god, though its voice could twist reality.

It was not a demon, though its presence gnawed at the edges of sanity.

It called itself, an Outer Angel. Maybe in modern terms?

"Welcome back to the stream, my lovely fragments!"

"Today's content is gonna blow your fourth wall wide open!"

Its voice echoed in a space that had no sound.

Its face flickered like a corrupted avatar part glitch, part madness.

And its eyes...those eyes…...reflected every world, every fiction, every possibility… and every ending.

It stood or floated? before a throne of unblinking screens. Some showed laughter, some showed war. Some glitched with static, while others wept blood.

And in the center of it all stood the great Fictional Pillars....…the roots of all stories across every multiverse. Myths. Comics. Legends. Games. Scripts. Dreams. Stories. Marvel, fate so on. All propped up by the same mysterious structure.

And now, one of those Pillars…

Had shattered.

The multiverse trembled like a dying breath.

The Outer Angel leaned forward, a crack forming across its grin.

"One down. Balance broken. And chaos... ripe."

"They'll be busy fighting each other. But me? I'm not here to watch anymore."

It extended a hand that wasn't a hand toward the swirling sea of screens.

"I'm here to save the multiverse. My way."

"No more freedom. No more error. Just… order. My order."

From the broken shell of the Pillar's corpse, countless stories spilled like lifeblood...…unfinished tales, corrupted timelines, lost heroes.

He dove in like a digital shark, hunting for a pawn.

"I need someone who's perfect. Someone with a soul uncorrupted, a history of sacrifice… a record of absolute good."

"And lucky me…"

The Angel's presence twisted sideways into a laugh as he hacked the Throne of Heroes itself.

Time screamed. Reality blinked.

A summoning circle etched itself in a blank, code-ridden void.

Red lightning burst through a field of glitches.

And then...…he appeared.

Ritsuka Fujimaru.

Scarred. Tired. Eyes wide with confusion.

The last master of humanity… summoned once again.

He opened his mouth to speak…—...but the voice of the Angel cut in, laced with gleeful malice.

"Let's skip the introductions, Servant. I've got three commands for you and huge work which is suitable for you."

One. The first Command Spell ignited.

"I command you: never seek the truth of your master. Forget I exist."

Two. The second flared with violent light.

"I command you: act like an Isekai hero. Charge ahead, save people, make friends… make it all look natural which is a part of my plan to begin and which you are very suitable for."

Three. The third twisted the very fabric of language itself—

> "I command you when the time comes —⸮⊗✖︎⧩⧛⎋⚠︎⤫⇋⇌†‼︎…"

No human, no viewer, no reader, no god could parse it.

But Ritsuka's eyes widened in rage. His hands trembled. His voice broke through clenched teeth.

"You… you'll pay for this, you sick bastard."

The Angel only laughed, fingers poised like a performer.

"I can't hear you over all that righteous indignation~!"

Snap.

Ritsuka was gone.

Banished. Sent hurtling across the spiraling matrix of worlds.

A glowing digital screen unfolded before the Angel showing a vast new narrative forming, stars swirling into shapes familiar to Earth-bound minds.

The Marvel Universe.

He raised his cracked lips in a jagged smile.

Marvel floated like a jewel in the void.

"…How curious," he whispered.

And with that, he cast the first die.

A war had begun not of armies, but of stories.

The war for the Throne of Fiction.

"Lights out, chat," he sighed, fading into static.

"It's starting."

Note: So, here the prologue which is my original plan and it will be revealed in last arc but now it become prologue for this version. Yes, Ritsuka is along is working for Villain which will reveal later in last arc. And Youtuber was Ritsuka imagination in original script in chapter 1.

Yes, I said in original script Ritsuka is servant and I told Gaia Summoned Ritsuka but I never said Gaia is master of Ritsuka nor I told about command spells on Gaia hand. I was surprised no one found out or asked me "why Gaia doesn't have command spells?". Mainly from Fate fans. I mean command spells are most common thing to begin in fate series.

So I was hiding this plot reveal in future, but I must admit the way I executed this plot in original script is mess.

Also Yes, I'm going to add more depth to story and characters. Even if anyone with no knowledge of Fate can love the characters and enjoy the story.

This time I will add more to the story.

And I made more changes to story, yeah check the Chapter 1 to find out.
