Chapter 2 - Chapter 2

"Argh." A pain so enormous was assaulting my head it felt as if my head was going to explode. 

My body ached, and I couldn't move; I tried opening my mouth, but nothing happened. All I could feel was excruciating pain everywhere. This wasn't how dying was supposed to be. I was dead, but I didn't want to be. Why was this happening to me? Wasn't my life hard enough already!?

I wanted to scream, to cry, to fight back against this cruel world, but I knew it wouldn't help anything.

My memories started to come back…. As if I were watching movies in the cinema, my past life's memories flashed through my mind, making me replay every action I had ever done. And every action that I used to do….. 

What year was it?… I don't even know…... i have a humanoid body but im a dragon why am i in human form is it because of the convince, I'll have to test out how much powers of Antares that inherited

[Ding! "Tribrid" Has Joined The Chat Group]

"Rabbit Goddess": "Will you be the one to grant my wish…"?

"Queen of Dragons": "Are you the creator of this so-called Magic— Called the Group Chat? What type of magic is this? Are you ready to fulfil your promise or pay the price? What does Multiversal mean?"

"Rabbit Goddess": "It also made you a promise? Did it also Promise you that your wish would come true if you joined?

Huh, did the god that sent me here do this? What wishes were I supposed to complete? From what I remember of my past life, the Rabbit goddess is. Most likely Kaguya Ōtsutsuki from the Naruto Anime, an Alien being that was capable of destroying a whole world with a divine tree,

(Admin) "Monarch of Destruction": "I'm no wish granter, but I wouldn't mind Helping out. As I am right now, I would be no where near strong enough to Travel Universes. However, this is the Multiversal Group Chat. From what I know, this is a chat group connecting to other planets and universes…so you should be able to connect to different worlds."

System: Is there a Manual on how to use the Chat Group? Antares thought, and in this thought, a textbook that looked to be written in ancient Chinese Language floated in front of his eyes.

"How to use the Chat group 101."

What was inside of the book was a detailed explanation of how the chat group operated; the Chat Group Operated by other universes and multiverses and invited members randomly; once everyone was Invited then, chat group functions would begin,

Each day, you would be able to sign in to gain points, and these points would allow you to buy items, abilities, Potions, Weapons, and Even People from other Worlds…and also be able to travel between other worlds. There were three types of Points;

1) Normal Point,

2) Unique point,

3) Specialty point,

Normal Points are earned when you interact with other members. Specialty points are gained when you purchase items from other worlds. Specialty points are acquired by buying potions and weapons from different worlds.

There were two ways of earning points,

• Interacting with Other Members (Chatting)

• Buying Items From Another World

For example, if you talk to a person in Japan about their daily lives, you will earn 10 points, and if you buy a cup of coffee from Tokyo, you will receive 100 points.

Interacting with other members earns 1 point per 3 hours, and buying things from another world gives 5 points. So, if you purchase a potion for 500 points, you will earn 1000 points.

When you log in to the Shop, you will see the number of points you have accumulated. You can check your points anytime by clicking on your name in the upper left corner of your screen. When you reach 2000 points, you can start trading in for items and potions; once you trade in for an item, you cannot return and exchange it for another item.

In order to Trade in items and potions, you must meet certain conditions, such as having 2 Unique points and 1500 normal points. If you do not meet the requirements, you will not be able to make any trades until you reach that level again.

Once you have met the condition, you would need to click on the "Trade In" button, choose which item you wish to sell, select the desired value, and wait for a response from the seller.

You will be notified via text if the offer is accepted or rejected.

So, basically, the Chat Group is a place where people from different places can interact with one another; you can chat about almost everything or just hang out and have fun. You can even make friends from other worlds!

The chat group was designed for people to communicate without leaving their homes, and it worked pretty well, considering the large number of users.

So, this is an introvert's Dream System?

As he continued reading more of the Book, he noticed something interesting regarding the chat system's design. The Chat Group functioned based on a currency known as Points. Points were given out each time you interacted with someone else within the group. The points were then converted into items or potions, depending on what the user-traded in.

(Admin) Monarch of Destruction: "Make sure to Check in; at the top left of the Screen, you should see an option to Check in; you will then gain points; points are a form of currency in this Chat Group, which you will be able to buy Items, Abilities, Powers, Weapons, Armour, and Even people from Other worlds"

The Rabbit goddess: "Hmm, Interesting..."

Trbrid: "I'll try too…"

[Tribrid Has Checked in, Tribrid Has Gained 98/1,000,000 points]

Monarch Of Destruction: "Alrighty then, enjoy your stay."

Tribrid: "How are we supposed to enjoy our stay when this Chat Group suddenly appears on my phone?"

Monarch of Destruction: "Well, Tribrid, Welcome to the Chat Group!"

Tribrid: "I'm Not Sure if I Should Be Happy About this..."

Kaguya Ōtsutsuki sat on her throne, staring blankly at the floor. Her gaze turned cold, and she spoke softly.

"This is why I never trusted humans. They're selfish creatures." She paused momentarily and added, 

"But they serve a purpose. Perhaps I shouldn't have killed all the ones who came before you, but I had no choice. No matter what happens now, it'll be over soon enough."

She sighed deeply and stood up slowly, her expression softening slightly. 

"At least you won't die alone," 

she said quietly as she walked away.

As the door closed behind her, the room grew silent. Everyone stared down at the ground in shock. A few minutes later, however, Kaguya returned, looking much happier than before. She smiled brightly at everyone around her and asked, 

"Are you okay?"

A young woman standing next to Kaguya responded first. "Yes, Your Highness. Thank goodness!"

Kaguya nodded happily. Then she took off her crown and held it gently in both hands.

 "Thank you. Now that I've found this, I finally understand..." 

She began speaking rapidly, explaining what she'd done.

"I suppose it doesn't really matter anymore," 

Kaguya murmured sadly as she put the crown back on her head. She looked up at the ceiling for a while, then sighed deeply. Finally, she turned to face the rest of the group.

"Well, then. That's it for today. We have quite a lot to discuss tomorrow morning. Please take care of yourselves until then." 

With that, the princess bowed low to them one last time before leaving the room.

After Kaguya had gone, the other council members remained motionless for a long time. Eventually, they started talking among themselves again.

"What happened to the queen? Wasn't she supposed to be here earlier?"

"Oh, I think she went somewhere outside the palace grounds."

"Yeah, I heard she wanted to get some fresh air. She didn't want anyone else to hear what she was saying, though."

"Hmm...that sounds about right."

"Hey, what's wrong? Are you feeling sick?"

"No, I'm fine. Thanks anyway."

Where's Mother? Why isn't she here...?

A Young Child that looked to be around 3 years old the child had pale porcelain-like skin with black Eyes devoid of any life; the little girl wore a simple white dress that covered most of her body; the White Dress seemed to glow as if its own light source and the Little Girl looked as if she hadn't slept in days, her hair was unkempt and tangled, Her eyes were bloodshot and dull, the corners of her mouth drooped downwards, giving the impression of a sad smile.

Her mother, The Queen, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, had been absent from court since yesterday afternoon. This was unusual behaviour for the usually composed monarch, who rarely missed essential meetings. Rumours quickly spread throughout the kingdom and beyond. Many citizens believed the rumours, fearing that the queen's illness was severe enough to warrant a trip outside the castle walls.

However, none dared to voice their concerns aloud. After all, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki was the entire country's ruler and the royal family's queen.

***

Somewhere in a medieval European town, a small girl with crimson hair tended to her mother. Although she knew she wasn't supposed to bother her mommy, she couldn't help herself. 

"...Mother, please wake up..."

The small figure knelt beside her mother and shook her awake. However, the queen did not respond. Instead, she mumbled incoherent words and fell asleep again.

It was then that the little girl realized something strange. Despite being unconscious, her mother's lips moved soundlessly. 

What could she possibly be muttering about? The girl watched silently as her mother continued whispering inaudible nonsense under her breath. The girl felt frightened, wondering what her mother meant by those mysterious phrases. 

But there was nothing she could do. All she could do was watch as her mother drifted asleep again.

Then, the queen opened her eyes. "Whoa! Hey, stop shaking me!"

"Erza, you know better to wake me up when I'm sleeping," the queen replied groggily.

To the crimson-haired girl who looked to be an 8-year-old. She was dressed in a simple yet elegant Black dress with Gold embroidering. 

The girl was also wearing a pair of gold earrings that glistened as if lit by a candlelight. Ezra looked at her Mother with concern written on her face. 

She had seen many things in her short time as a Prisoner, but seeing someone fall ill was something that never crossed her mind.

"Is something wrong?"

"Not really...but I feel tired..."

"That's understandable. You haven't eaten anything today, have you?"

"Uh huh...it seems like I forgot to eat lunch. My stomach feels weird."

"Let's find something to fill it with then. Where do you usually get food?"

"Oh, that's easy," replied Ezra. "We go to the market every day! It's right across the street!"

Irene smiled faintly. "Sounds good! Come on!" With that, the two set out towards the town.

Mother, when will I have a father? I want to play with him. Will he come home soon?

The young girl kept asking questions to herself as she walked along the road. 

Erza walked alongside her mother, trying to hold back tears as she thought about what lay ahead. She was already eight years old, and she knew what her mother had been going through was very difficult to handle. And that was all the more reason why it hurt Erza to see her suffering so much. But she had no way of helping her. 

So she had resigned to simply being there for her mother, even if that was all she could do.

The pair arrived at the market shortly afterward. The area around it was teeming with merchants and customers alike. Most were selling food or goods for cooking, though some also sold weapons and armour. There was also a section devoted solely to fruits and vegetables.

"Look how big they are!" said Irene, marvelling at some large potatoes and carrots. 

"And look at these tomatoes! How delicious!"

Ezra looked around in surprise as well.

 "There sure are a lot of different foods here."

"This is great! Let's buy some fruit and vegetables!" Her mother nodded emphatically.

The two girls headed toward the produce aisle, where an older woman sold various items. Her name tag read: "Evee the Merchant." She must have been older than sixty, judging from her wrinkles and the gray streaks in her silver hair. 

She had a friendly, warm disposition and was quick to smile. Erza and her mother exchanged pleasantries while waiting their turn to check out. 

"Hello, Miss Evee," Erza chirped.

"Hohoho! Well met! And what may this fine young lady be doing today?" She laughed heartily as she looked at Ezra. The girl blushed and tried to smile back but failed miserably. 

"Umm...buying some vegetables and fruits."

"Oho? Well then, what are you having for dinner tonight? I'm making a curry this evening."

Erza's face suddenly brightened. "Curry?!" She grinned widely at Evee. 

"Thank you very much!"

"You're very welcome!" 

replied the old woman with a hearty laugh.

 "Now then...you've bought all that...so how about another?" 

As Evee handed her the basket of fruits and vegetables, Erza couldn't help but notice the odd look in the woman's eye. Suddenly, the merchant's eyes widened.

"Miss Irene," she said, turning toward Irene, 

"could I ask you something?"

Ezra froze as Evee addressed her mother directly. She turned to look at the woman, then quickly glanced around them. She couldn't shake the feeling that someone was watching them. She frowned slightly but then realized that Evee was still looking at her.

 "Huh? What did you need?"

"would you two mind coming with me for a second?" Irene and Erza tilted their heads questioningly. 

"Sure thing!"

Evee smiled at Irene and Erza. She had a very mischievous look in her eyes. "All right then..." she whispered in a tone too soft for anyone else to hear.

Once again, Irene and Erza followed Evee outside the market and into the streets.

"You excellency, His Majesty requests you to return to the empire…"

"Alright, let him know that we will return in three days from now."

"Understood."
