1 Ch. 1 - Prologue

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*

A thunderous roar reverberated through the air as I swung my fist at the monstrosity in front my eyes, rabbit ears flapping due to the shock wave. I had been locked in grueling hand-to-hand combat with this dark god for the last three days straight. Me, alone, against an entire army of invaders from another dimension. I managed to crush the army fairly early on, but their leader, Yog, just wouldn't die.

No matter how many times I used my strengthened arms to rip off its' innumerable tentacles or hardened fists to burst its pustule-ridden flesh, it just kept regenerating.

ROOOOOOOOOOAR

An unintelligible, guttural sound continuously poured from the grotesque lump of flesh in front of my eyes. Despite being in a deadlock for the last three days, it was clearly feeling cornered. This filled me with strength. It felt good to know I was this close to crushing the creature who invaded our world, who crushed my village, and caused the downfall of many countries.

Suddenly, my special ability activated - I could see the path of destiny ahead, the path to ending this long and painful fight.

I have no idea where my ability came from, but I could see something. String of fate, destiny's path, the road to the future - I had no idea it was, but it's led me forward all my life. The day my clan's village was attacked, it led me to safety. When I was about to killed by a monster, it showed me where I need to attack it to survive. When I needed help, it led me to comrades. And, most importantly, when I needed power, it showed me where to go and what to do.

My ability helped me grow strong, so strong. From a simple, powerless woman of the rabbit tribe, here I was fighting hand to hand with a literal god. The inheritance of past heroes, the gift of the Spirit King, even knowledge left behind by other-worlders - I managed to find them all. I journeyed halfway across the entire world, saved a princess or four, crushed an evil minister or ten, and freed the slaves from hundreds of the invader's gulags. Now, it was time to bring this endless journey to a close.

With that thought in mind, I followed along with what my eyes were telling me and channeled a gift left behind by an other-worlder named Aki. She had been whisked away to Fortuna through a dimensional rift from her home world of Earth. Every day of her life here, she researched a way to return. By the time she created Space-Time magic, she was old and married. She no longer wanted to go home, so she left her research and the Space-Time Seed behind.

I used that Space-Time Seed now by channeling the majority of my magic into it, shattering the dimension right where Yog was standing. Dozens of rifts appeared inside its' body and began slicing it to bits.

*RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA*

Yog screamed in agony, locked in place by the Space-Time magic. It clearly wanted to get away from the countless knives shredding its body to pieces, but it could only look back me powerlessly. Its single, enormous eye glared at me with inhuman rage - potent enough to stop the heart any other person out there.

These tiny tears in the very fabric of the world did what I could not - put a stop to the rampage of an evil god. I stared on as, piece by piece, the dimension forces tore the creature I hated more than anything into fragments, then dust.

"Finally, this is over. Mother, father, everyone - it's finally over." I looked on as the grotesque thing that had haunted our world for the last few years gradually melted away. The dimensional tears were the last thing to go, until eventually they too melted away. I took a few deep breaths as I made sure that Yog was gone for good.

Assured that the world was finally safe, I slowly lowered myself to the desolate plains of the world below.

"So...… what do I do now?"

I felt lost. The goal of my quest and the target of my revenge had been vanquished. Anything I wanted to do or collect had already been done. There was nothing and nobody to hold me back any more. Just as I was right on the cusp of figuring out what to do next, I heard a barely audible voice in the distance - rapidly growing in volume as its owner approach my position.

"Yoooooour Maaaaaaajesty!"

It was the voice of the Warrior Princess Valia, the former princess I had once saved in passing.
