8 Chapter 8 : Tv World
#
*I'm gonna call the TV world the metaverse interchangeably. because I'm sure I'm bad at this.
With a thud I fall into something hard. huh this is the metaverse. it looks foggy. I was sure there's a rule that if the real world has fog then this world is clear and vice versa.
Right now I'm in what seems to be a highly secured building, why would I say this? there seems to be a lot of security cameras, and outside a very tall fence with barbed wires. also did i just see a minefield right outside?
huh interesting. In persona 5 I know that a metaverse can take the form of someone's twisted desire, but I don't think that rule applies to the tv world.
but this place somehow feels familiar. i know that it's not uncle Ryo's house. far from it, he doesn't have a japanese interior. this place though, have a japanese interior, very tight security and Oh fuck... dont tell me
"Yes, I'll Tell you" a voice behind me said
ah fuck it is isnt it.
"Yes this is your Home, welcome back Divine Ancestor."
Wait what...?
as soon as he said that the world breaks just like a glass.
and I'm suddenly dropped inside a colosseum of some sort. the hardness of the ground beneath, the scorching sun and the stench of sweat all entered my senses.
well damn.
What's with the clearly roman setting. wait don't tell me...
"I'll tell you again" said a figure with a black smoky aura.
"Welcome Home!" well damn.
as soon as he said that a roman soldier materialized in front of me, threw me a spear and said to me: "FIGHT!"
thus began my desperate struggle as i desperately swing my spear around. I was beaten down, punched, kicked, slashed, impaled.

I don't know how long I've been fighting or how many times I was maimed, as though suddenly it did not matter, so this is the 'zone' huh. I joked to myself. finding it amusing that my first time in the TV world is going to be my last.
While idly thinking, I was approached by a lot of roman soldiers from all sides. ah I've let myself get surrounded. that's quite bad.
the roman soldiers redied their shield and through the shield gap they also readied their spear,ah, i see they are preparing a barrage of spears. but to my surprise their coordination is on point, instead of a barrage it became a coordinated pincer attack.
It seems that each individual spear will heat a fatal point in my body, damn that's a lot of coordination. without hesitation I tried performing an acrobatic pole vault with my spear.
as the spear flew towards me my body was already up in the air and landing behind one of the roman soldiers i quickly disarmed him and took his spear as i now have to fight the whole formation head on.
The one who I disarmed was despawned. yeah it seems that this place is some kind of game type world where enemies can respawn and despawn at will and my injuries themselves heal at a visible rate, but the pain, oh let me tell you it's real.
after admiring and feeling the weight of my newly acquired weapon, i made a cocky smile and gave them the middle finger
"That's all you got?"
me and my big mouth. Suddenly the colosseum I was fighting collapses, and what I see before me is a cityscape. with thousands upon thousands of troops.
"well shit."
'Here we go again'
I thought as we went for it another round.
.
.
.
After what it feels like fighting a never ending undead legion. I finally finished the last remaining combatant by throwing my spear, it landed squarely on his chest right at his heart.
"Is there an end to this?"
I asked no one in particular.
"You know I'm pretty sure I'll just accept you. no matter how twisted you actually are. I mean c'mon diving a non combatant to a battlefield directly? ARE YOU INSANE?"
I can see someone smiling in the distance as he slowly makes his way towards me expecting me to say something.
"Yeah, no I'm not gonna fall for that. I know it you know it, I am you and you are me"
"HAHAHA I GUESS THAT'S RIGHT ISN'T IT?"
a deafening voice came from behind me.
"I ART THOU AND THOU ART I, From the depth of thy soul ROMA WILL RISE, TOGETHER WE SHALL CRAVE A PATH FOR THE FUTURE OF MANKIND!"
That's him huh, my persona, the divine ancestor himself.
"I AM THE SUPREME GOD OF ROME, ROMULUS-QUIRINUS"
WN: sorry for the chap if it turns out this way i'm just a fan of romulus you know he's my first SSR. and holy hell did you see his final ascension he's basically a seint seiya
