Soundtrack: N/a
Oh you, who drowns in the waves of the dark.
Oh you, who have been given a fate most cruel.
Oh you, who shall create ripples and waves.
Let us learn who you are.

Ah, so that is who you are.
I see.
No, do not worry, for me, this will become forgotten, for you, this will become a dream.
It is needed to set the stage for the challenges to come.
Well… I see no harm in explaining that. We will both forget soon enough.
Soon in your life, young Rei, you will be dragged into something horrible and yet beautiful.
An adventure and fight for survival.
I wanted to make sure everything is prepared before that day comes.
Hmm… Allow me to explain then where exactly you come from Rei, it is well needed context.
[Select what Fragments will Make Up The World]
[ ] (0) Fragment ?: New Possibility
Ah… it seems that this tale exists without an established tale. You will know of nothing to come, but will know that anything is possible.
(Cannot be selected along with with other Fragments)
[ ] (1) Fragment 0: V-Tamer
A tale about a boy and his dragon, who together, united as the Ultimate Combination, faced against powerful foes to protect their new friends and the Digital World from harm.
{[X] (2) Fragment 1: Adventure}
On a fateful summer day, due to circumstances unknown to them, seven children were spirited away into another world, chosen to save it, and theirs from harm.
-[ ] (1) Fragment 1B: Adventure Tri
(Adding this will allow for Adventure Tri to be added to this new world)
{[X] (2) Fragment 2: World}
A tale as old as time, where children are summoned to the Digital world, raise their Partners, fight and rescue Digimon, and watch their partners be reborn again and again.
(This Includes: Digimon World 1, Re Digitize, and Next Order)
{[X] (1) Fragment 3: Tamers}
The world considers Digital Monsters to be nothing more than Fiction. However for several children, this is proven untrue, and they are dragged into a tale, facing horrors to protect their world.
{[X] (1) Fragment 4: Frontiers}
One several cells phones within the grasps of several children, it guides the young souls to a station which carries them to the Digital World, a place, with the aid of Legendary Spirits, these brave young souls may save.
{[X] (1) Fragment 5: Savers}
A man punches a small Dinosaur, gets recruited to a secret organization for capturing Digital Monsters. Said man then begins to start punches stronger and stronger things. The Digital World is not ready for him.
[ ] (2) Fragment 6: Story Origins
The Digital World needs help, and so teams formed to protect it and to raise up those who would fight for it!
(This Includes: Digimon Story, Dawn and Dusk)
[ ] (2) Fragment 7: Fusion
A group of friends, when adding a lost Digimon, are brought into the Digital World and granted a Fusion Loader, becoming generals as they face against those who wish to take rule of this new world.
{[X] (1) Fragment 8: Story Cyber}
On Eden, an evolution of the World Wide Web, hackers have begun to use these strange programs known as Digimon. Along with their appearance came the Eden Syndrome, which caused those using Eden to fall into unending comas.
(This Includes: Digimon Cyber Sleuth and Hacker Memories.)
{[X] (1) Fragment 9: Appmon}
In this advanced age of technology, where we are more interconnected than ever, a new digital being, a relative of Digimon known as Appmon, begins to appear in the World Wide Web. During this time, an AI begins to stir to put its plans into action.
[ ] (1) Fragment 10: Survive
Near the mountain tops of rural Japan, during a time where the world's weather has become increasingly sporadic, a group of children wander into another world, full of beings known as Kemonogami, a place that invites tragedy to those who enter it.
{[X] (1) Fragment 11: Ghost Game}
Around the time Holograms became widely used, strange Hologram Ghosts appeared, said to be the cause of several incidents one could consider to be creepypasta! They're just fake though… right?
That is the state of your world.
However you… you shouldn't be connected to those events. You should just be home, living your life free of all of this.
Yes, you are connected to this all… because something decided to play dirty.
(Tally up your points now. If they're more than ten, go back and choose again.)
IF YOU AMASSED 4 POINTS, TAKE ONE DISASTER.
IF YOU AMASSED 7 POINTS, TAKE TWO DISASTERS.
IF YOU AMASSED 10 POINTS, TAKE THREE DISASTERS.
[ ] Temporal Error
Normally, those who wish to see the world destroyed would have appeared in their own time, to face against the Destined from that era.
This is no longer true. There is no guarantee when these forces will appear and any insight you may have will be questionable at best.
[The enemies and antagonists from each of the Fragments have a chance to appear in a time frame they otherwise shouldn't have, meaning terrible things for 'Canon'. Who knows… the biggest evils may be able to come together now]
(Cannot be chosen if you chose Fragment 0)
[X] The Worlds Bleeding Together
The Analog and Digital Worlds usually stay apart, and even when they do begin to intersect it's usual in the form of a inbetween realm.
That is no longer true. In certain places, the Digital and Analog worlds will fully intersect, allowing for free and easy travel for any Digimon who wishes to see what a Human tastes like.
Oh, and too many could cause a full merge of the two worlds.
[Zones known as Thresholds will appear, places where the Digital and Analog worlds will truly intersect, slowly expanding. While they are very useful if one needs to cross back and forth quickly, too many existing at once will cause the worlds to merge. Best to seal as many as you can.]
[ ] Digital Resonance Corrosion
The Heart, a source of energy and power for Digidestined and their partners. It's a wondrous, magical thing.
For those who have too much emotion without a partner? It is a tragedy waiting to happen. It is more likely to happen to those who have negative emotions, and heaven forbid a meltdown, but the result is all the same.
A monster is born, a fusion of Analog and Digital Matter.
[Distortions, monsters created when a human is experiencing high emotions and are exposed to Digital Matter without a partner. These monsters… Can you save them from their fate?]
[X] Digital-Damned
There are many times where a Digital Destined is taken over by darkness and forced to fight against the light, and possibly their friends.
Now though? Someone is actively hunting down humans to turn them into artificial Destined. People who can match the ones called to save the world blow for blow.
[Dark Tamers will begin to appear, those who are controlled by antagonists to match your abilities.]
[It will take skill and a brave heart to defeat these foes.]
[ ] The Public Fears the Monsters
In many stories, Digimon are unknown, and go unknown for a long time by the public.
However now it is not if, but when they will learn of them.
And the public will fear them. And Fear? Fear turns to Anger. Anger turns to
Hate.
[At some point, the public will learn of Digimon and will react with fear, which will grow into disdain and even Hate for them. As a consequence, Tamers will be labeled as criminals, or at best, dangers to the public.]
[X] Those Who Hunt The Beasts
An Organization will begin to form, either due to whispers on the net or sighting by their members.
This Organization will begin to research and develop technology and weaponry to allow Humanity to fight back against Digimon.
For the sake of hunting the monsters down.
[A Organization will form, creating, selling, and using Weapons designs to fight back on equal footing with a Digital Monster. This will mean that humans will be a threat to you throughout this adventure in much more physical ways.]
Those are the challenges you must face…
But not alone.
There is another like you, dragged into this.
Your Counterpart.
I do, in fact they are right here with us. I am able to multitask.
Now, let us go over who your other half is Rei.

So many different fragments, so many different tragedies to unfold.
So many dangers to face
Rei, Akemi, let me ask you both this…
What is your relation to each other?
{[X] My Best Friend}
You're both friends, the two of you together for most of your childhood, from school to your parents pushing you to hang with each other.
[(Positive) Relationship with your counterpart, and relationship level 2 with them. This will serve to get through multiple obstacles in the early game. You will also at least start with them around.]
[ ] I don't know them
Erm… you don't know this person? Ok, let me just write down a few things…
[No special bonuses. You won't start with your Counterpart however]
[ ] A Enemy
You don't like each other. Maybe it's because of something you both did or just because you saw each other funny, but that doesn't change that you both
cannot get along.
[(Negative) Relationship with your counterpart. You and your Counterpart cannot get along, and they may try to stab you in the back one of these days.]
[ ] No, we're… (Write-In)
I see, I see… interesting. I hope this will work out for you both regardless of how you see each other.
Ah yes, your fates. Now, I normally can't do this, but seeing as the three of us will not remember this… let us see what your future entails.
(Due to your choices, there are TWO types of Roles. Light and Dark Roles. If you chose My Best Friend, Akemi will be locked into the Role Type Rei has. If you chose A Enemy, Akemi will be locked into the opposite Role Type Rei has.)
[What is Rei's Role?]
[ ] (L) Tamer
You will become a Tamer, someone who will gain a Digital Monster as a partner in the near future. A partner who will care for, protect, and adventure alongside with you, as long as you show it the same love back.
[ ] (L) Legendary Hero
You will become a Legendary Hero, inheritor of a Legendary Spirit, which when used will allow you to transform into a digimon to protect the world from those who would do it harm.
[ ] (D) Dark Tamer
You will become a Dark Tamer, a dark Digivice forcing itself upon you. This digivice forces you to seek out powerful Digicores to keep it functional, and if it runs out of power… you're going to go with it. Oh and you'll have to beg or force a Digimon to become your partner.
{[X] (D) Bio-Hybrid}
You will become a Bio-Hybrid, a dark Digivice forcing itself upon you that allows someone to transform into a digimon. Oh, and due to your nature as a forced half Digital and Analog being, you will need to travel between both worlds regularly to stay stable.
[What is Akemi's Role?]
[ ] (L) Tamer
You will become a Tamer, someone who will gain a Digital Monster as a partner in the near future. A partner who will care for, protect, and adventure alongside you, as long as you show it the same love back.
[ ] (L) Legendary Hero
You will become a Legendary Hero, inheritor of a Legendary Spirit, which when used will allow you to transform into a digimon to protect the world from those who would do it harm.
{[X] (D) Dark Tamer}
You will become a Dark Tamer, a dark Digivice forcing itself upon you. This digivice forces you to seek out powerful Digicores to keep it functional, and if it runs out of power… you're going to go with it. Oh and you'll have to beg or force a Digimon to become your partner.
[ ] (D) Bio-Hybrid
You will become a Bio-Hybrid, a dark Digivice forcing itself upon you that allows someone to transform into a digimon. Oh, and due to your nature as a forced half Digital and Analog being, you will need to travel between both worlds regularly to stay stable.
And Finally, what is the current date for you both?
[What point in time is Rei and Akemi in?]
[ ] The Beginning
You and your Counterpart will start your tale at the earliest place in the timeline when Digimon become relevant. Depending on your choices, either things will go better for the world… or end far, far worse.
Oh, and you'll probably only have yourselves to rely on for the beginning of the quest.
[ ] The Middle
You and your Counterpart will start your tale somewhere after the kickstart of this timeline, but still far from the latest point a Fragment happens at.
You'll have other Tamers established and able to help in times of crisis, but the same goes for the enemies that you will have to face.
{[X] The End}
You and your Counterpart will start your tale near the end of this timeline, where many things have happened, but where disasters yet to come will arrive.
Other Tamers have been fully established at this point, and have maybe even linked up with one another. The same sadly goes true for the villains as well.
Ah, so then. Good to know. I'll just write that down…
-----
Alas, our time is growing short.
I regret to leave you both… the future does not look bright and the horrors of the past creep behind you both.
Don't be afraid, you have each other, and I know you both can get through this.
I… don't want to risk anything happening… but I am already here, so a bit more aid shouldn't hurt.
Hmm? Well, when the time comes for you both to get your digivices… I can stack the odds a bit to your favor.
Rei, I have for you two options. You may either choose a field or two below, which will limit what your potential Digimon form will be… or I can give you a different path.
Field List:
Nature Spirits
Deep Savers
Nightmare Soldiers
Wind Guardians
Metal Empire
Unknown
Dark Area
Virus Busters
Dragon's Roar
Jungle Troopers
[ ] Rei Field 1:
-[ ] (Optional) Rei Field 2:
This will limit what your Rookie/Child Stage Transformation choices will be when you get your Digivice. Do not worry, you will get options to choose from when that occurs.
[X] Power From Beyond
You will not gain the power to turn into a Digimon… but something else to be decided on when you gain your Digivice.
A power unknown to this world may be what you need to survive… but know that it will come at a cost.
[Choosing this option will result in Rei and Akemi being Seperated, requiring them to find each other.]
And now for you Akemi.
While you may take the choice of a digimon Field… I offer you another choice.
[ ] Akemi Field 1:
-[ ] (Optional) Akemi Field 2:
This will limit what Akemi's Rookie/Child Stage Partner choices will be when she gets her Digivice.
{[X] Aid From A Friend}
Your Narrator for the last few updates will become Akemi's Partner. His power and memories will be limited, but he'll be a well needed guide in the coming trials.
See, have you ever heard of this funny thing called Incarnation? Interesting thing, even if it'll cost all of us something. It's something to even the odds nonetheless.
[Choosing this option will result in Rei and Akemi being Seperated, requiring them to find each other.]
[If you have already chosen Power From Beyond, then Rei and Akemi will also become Hunted.]
And with this… everything is set.
I wish us all as much luck as we can get…
Stay safe you two.
…
…
…
"..H…"
"...Hey…"
"...Hey Rei, co…"
"REI! AKEMI! WAKE UP!"
You feel yourself jolt as a familiar voice yells into your ears. Your gaze shifts back and forth rapidly as your mind rushes to get out of dreamland.
You're sitting on a bus, going down the moderately busy roads towards the destination for today's field trip. The perp who woke you up was staring down at you from above, turned around in his seat in front of yours.
To your side is Akemi, sitting in the seat by the window, lightly groggy from being yelled at to awareness.
It… kinda feels like you were dreaming something about her. Something important.
You put that aside as you look at the perpetrator for waking you the heck up.
Jun.
Of course.
"Did you really need to scream into my ear dude?!"
"Yes! We're almost there and you and Akemi are both napping like kittens!"
You scoff a bit, "Did you sleep well last night dude? You who were ecstatic for this field trip?"
Jun gives you a cocky smile, "Of course I did, can't enjoy it if I'm falling asleep!"
You sigh as you look over to your side, "You okay Akemi?"
She gives you a nod, "Y-yeah, just had a… nice dream? A bit of it was scary."
Why does that… feel like how you would describe your dream?
No- you said you were putting that aside. You can unpack that later.
You adjunct yourself in your seat, watching Jun move back to sitting properly in his, right next to Arata, another classmate of yours.
Your back pops a bit as you look over to the row across from yours, to the chattering Kuromi sisters, probably talking about coding or a sighting of one of those 'Hologram Ghosts' that people keep whispering about.
Or a fantasy novel. Kirata was always a fan of magic.
You dare to get a peek up ahead, to the front row where you can start to see the destination of the field trip come into view.
The Technical College of Tokyo, where you'll all be given a tour around to get a sense of what your future careers may be.
For some reason?
You feel like this is the start to something grand.
