[In the time that followed, your life settled into a new rhythm. Aside from your routine exercises with Photon Rejuvenation…]

[You would occasionally venture out to hunt down minor monsters. The Night Raider Team headquarters, recognizing the new state of the world, dispatched other agents to officially take over the duties at your post.]

[The person who arrived was, for once, refreshingly normal, a welcome change from the eccentrics you’d grown used to.]

[With Lethe, the river of forgetfulness, destroyed, mass memory erasure was no longer an option. The existence of the Alien Beasts was now public knowledge.]

[Worse, the territories where the Alien Beasts appeared were gradually expanding, their incursions growing more frequent and widespread.]

[You became a planetary firefighter. The moment the Evoltruster signaled the appearance of an Alien Beast with its rhythmic heartbeat, you would transform and fly to the scene.]

[Your first action upon arrival was always the same: deploy the Meta-Field, containing the threat and protecting the city.]

[In your downtime, you subjected the other Epitome Holders to a certain degree of… specialized training. To put it simply, it involved dodging boomerangs, evading thrown darts, and outrunning a speeding jeep.]

[You were thoroughly enjoying the simple pleasures of being a mentor in the style of Ultraseven. Whether your trainees were experiencing the same joy as Gen Otori once did, however, was a question you chose not to investigate.]

[You knew you couldn’t remain in this world forever. You were merely a wanderer, a traveler passing through.]

[Unbeknownst to you, your unorthodox methods had left the silently observing King of Ultra somewhat speechless. He couldn’t help but wonder if you’d been possessed by that old rogue, Seven. Why else would your training regimen be so bizarrely specific?]

[Still, he had to admit the training was remarkably effective. Those young Epitome Holders were, without a doubt, growing stronger.]

[Then, one day, a black vortex tore open the sky above a bustling city. Countless Alien Beasts, like water swirling down a drain, were sucked violently into the maw.]

[The vortex contracted in an instant, and arcs of black lightning crackled across the sky. From the epicenter, a new being emerged—an abomination wearing the three faces of Darkness Zagi, Dark Mephisto, and Dark Faust. It was an Ultra, yet it was also an Alien Beast.]

[When you arrived on the scene, you took one look at its twisted form and felt the oppressive wave of dark energy rolling off it.]

[You ran a quick assessment. Your own combat power registered at a solid 8,000. Your opponent, however, was radiating a power level of at least 10,000.]

[Without a word, you surged forward, a blade of pure light materializing in your hand. There was no point in wasting breath on dialogue; its power and the destruction it was already causing told you everything you needed to know.]

[This was not a good guy.]

[The dark titan mirrored your action, condensing a sword of shadow, and the two of you clashed in a shower of sparks.]

[After trading a flurry of blows, you used the force of a parry to launch yourself backward, creating distance. You immediately began to deploy the Meta-Field.]

[But your opponent performed the exact same motion, waving a hand toward the sky. The nascent golden field was instantly invaded by darkness, assimilated and corrupted into a Dark Field.]

[A desperate struggle for control began. The very fabric of the pocket dimension flickered violently between brilliant gold and abyssal black. If a few more colors were thrown in, it would look like a malfunctioning neon sign.]

[You realized you couldn’t win this contest of wills. Even though this creature was a premature, incomplete version of what it could be, your current capacity as Nexus was simply not enough. You could, of course, transform into Noah, but you hadn’t reached that point yet. Instead, you raised your left wrist, where the Saga Brace gleamed.]

[Just as you were about to trigger the transformation, your body froze. You were no longer in control.]

[In that same instant, Nexus ascended. Watching from the sidelines of your own consciousness, you felt a grim certainty. That black-hearted bastard, Noah, had just logged into the server.]

[The moment Nexus achieved his ultimate form, ownership of the Meta-Field snapped back to you. After all, the Dark Lucifer before you was an imperfect imitation, a pale shadow of its true potential.]and support the real translator.Read at elysianreads.com This is a stolen translation.

[Seven-colored light flooded the dimension. Accompanied by a miraculous, swelling orchestral theme, Saga—the most expensive suit in history—materialized in a blaze of glory.]

[A flash of blinding white light followed, and the muscular, perpetually grim-faced figure of Legend appeared beside him. Finally, with a regal flutter of his cape, the King of Ultra himself descended upon the battlefield.]

[Seeing these four cosmic powerhouses appear at once, Dark Lucifer screamed internally that they weren’t playing fair.]

[But the thought never found voice. As one, the four god-like beings unleashed their ultimate finishing techniques, reducing the dark titan to its constituent molecules and atoms, erasing it from existence as a burst of dissipated energy.]

[You returned to your daily life. No more Alien Beasts appeared on the planet; it was as if they had vanished from the universe entirely.]

[Days turned into weeks. You soon realized that with no Alien Beasts to fight, the Evoltruster on your arm had remained silent, its heartbeat-like pulse gone for a long time.]

[The world is vast, you thought to yourself one day, I want to see more of it. As if in direct response to your whim, a shimmering space-time portal tore open directly in front of you.]

[Before you could react, a powerful force kicked you squarely in the back, sending you tumbling head over heels into the vortex. Feeling the distinct aura of the portal, you knew with absolute certainty who was responsible.]

That damn dog, Noah!

[With a loud thud, you fell from the sky, landing hard in a place of biting wind and deep snow.]

[You pushed yourself up, shaking snow from your clothes as you scanned the desolate, icy landscape. A single, furious thought echoed in your mind: “Noah, you little bastard, where the hell did you send me this time?”]

[Your eyes then fell upon a strange ring, hovering and rotating slowly in the air nearby.]

[Three words instantly surfaced in your mind: ‘The Black-hearted Ring’.]

[A moment later, you sensed someone approaching. Turning your head, you saw a hand grip the edge of a nearby cliff, followed by a figure pulling himself over the ledge. The man who appeared was someone you recognized immediately from the annals of Ultra history: Jugglus Juggler, arguably the most rational person in The Origin Saga.]

[The corner of your mouth twitched. You looked up at the unforgiving sky and silently raised your middle finger. You were absolutely, unequivocally screwed. You had been dropped into Ultraman Orb: The Origin Saga.]

[Still, a sense of zen-like acceptance washed over you. Since you were here, you might as well stay. And since you were staying, you might as well teach someone what the true fighting style of the light looked like.]

[In your opinion, both Cosmos and Dyna had been brain-damaged in the original story. How could a queen whose mind was clearly compromised be allowed to represent the will of her entire people? They could only watch helplessly as she made one disastrous choice after another. If it were that old bastard Seven in their shoes, he would have just killed her and been done with it.]

[A brilliant idea suddenly struck you. You could transform into Legend, couldn’t you? When the time came, couldn’t you just give Musashi a good, hard slap across the face to knock some sense into him?]

[You were, you decided, a true genius.]

[At that moment, Juggler was staring at you, completely dumbfounded. He had been watching you stand there, lost in thought, and couldn’t process the fact that someone had reached this sacred place, the Warrior’s Peak, even faster than he and Gai had.]

[You noticed Juggler’s gaze and gave a casual wave. “Don’t mind me,” you said calmly. “I was thrown here by someone.”]

[Hearing this, Juggler’s eyelid twitched. To be thrown to a place like this and remain so composed… He gave a silent, wary nod. Just then, another figure scrambled up over the cliff edge.]

[Kurenai Gai was also taken aback to see you standing there. With a clear yet endearingly foolish look in his eyes, he extended a hand in greeting.]

[“Hello,” he said with earnest sincerity. “My name is Gai. It’s nice to meet you.”]You're reading this on the wrong site.
