- PART 1: Guided Heroes (or Heroines)
This is where my adventure began. Well, my set of adventures. With “Guide”, my god, by my side to help me out, i, “mike the adventurer”, will achieve greatness! Through many trials and hardships, through victory and defeat, we will—
Guide: Mike, that’s enough now. Let me take over.
Mike: but—
Guide: just continue questing while i write this down!
Mike: fine…
Guide: ahem… Now, i was but a normal guy like Mike was until i finally look for a job …That’s until i was given THIS job! All I’ve gotta do is watch over my little buddy and be his god. I also have to guide Mike through his quests and help him out, which is why I’m called “Guide”. With my power and mike’s “DETERMINATION”, I’m sure we’ll make a great team!
- PART 2: More champions and the 4th Wall
Guide: It’s been a while since Mike and i had Boo and got into “I AM”. During that time, i asked the guild about these Chronicles, and the former leader said it needed improvement, so here’s chapter 2. Or part 2? Ah, heck with it…
You know, Mike isn’t the only mike in the multiverse…Well, in a way. There are multiple versions of someone beyond the 4th wall known as “Personas”. Mike and i are two of them, but only i know about the 4th wall and different dimensions. The current personas are me, Mike, that guy who people call Blue, and the Mike who came first, bearing powerful equipment, most of it known as the “Elemental gauntlets” and the “Diamond Sword of Elemental Power”, but people just call it “the Sword” or something…
Mike: …What?
Guide: …!!!
Mike: I’m confused. What are you talking about, almighty?
Guide: Well, it’s hard to explain… It’s best I’ll explain later…
Mike: No, it’s better to explain this to me now! You know what they say, “now or ne—”.
Guide: (puts a beer bottle in his mouth)
Mike: …(mumbles “nevermind”, walking away, drinking)
Guide: (Sigh) It’s best i wouldn’t explain. it’s hard to do it…
- PART 3: Trinity of Judgement
We may have lost Boo, our ballpoint penguin, but at least we have a prancing pony now. His name is Nibbler. I guess I should put in someone else…
So, remember when i said my job is to look after Mike?
Mike: Called me, Guide?
Guide: No! I’m just recording this for our Chronicles.
Mike: Ooh! Can i record something here?
Guide: No, this is impor— H-hey! Give that back!
Mike: Hello, world! It’s me, Mike, the Adventurer~
And today—(Tackling noise)
(Punching, running, blasting, yelling…)
Guide: …Alright, got it back… I just need to give him beer and he’ll leave this thing and me alone for a while. Ha!
Anyway, Mike’s not the only one who i need to watch. You see, my boss has 3…“children”…and i need to protect one of them, by the name “Yellow”. You see, there’s an order called the “Trinity of Judgement”, where three of the members judge certain people with special tests. Yellow’s test is the test of DETERMINATION. It’s to see how the certain people will last. His brother Red’s test is the test of strength. It’s to see if they’re strong enough for the challenges ahead. And finally, his sister Blue’s test is the test of honor. It’s to see if they’re worthy on the inside as well as they would be on the outside. If they pass all three, they’ll get to meet their greater god beyond the 4th wall, known as a “High Being”. So far, nobody even took any of the tests…
- PART 4: The Stranger Danger
So, it’s been a while since I’m the one who started a chapter…or is it a part? No wonder Almighty was confused… Anyway, while he’s training with Yellow, I’ll be recording this.
Well, we lost Nibbler, but i managed to tame a new pet! A Solar Bear named “Oy”! I wonder why i named him that… Oh well! Anyway, not only that, but i finally managed to build a temple in Guide’s honor! It’s almost as shiny as can be! Although some of the bricks are kinda dirty, but still!
A few days ago, i encountered something unusual. I didn’t record in my diary because I was too intimidated to do that. It’s some kind of… floating black slime… It went to strike me while I’m frozen with fear, but Little Almighty (Yellow) Came down and contained the thing! Before i got a chance to say thanks, he took off with the slime. After processing what just happened, i went on my usual business, pretending that didn’t happen and got the last gold brick i need!
I was still creeped out by that… I wonder what that thing’s deal is… I asked Big Almighty (Guide) About that thing, and he said it’s nothing i should worry about, but still… Oh well. If Almighty said i shouldn’t worry about it, then i won’t worry about it, even though in other news, i realized that he’s a “Demi-god”! Demi-god or not, i still call him a god.
…Looks like the mighty one and the slightly mighty one returned, so this was part/chapter 4 of our Chronicles!
Mike, out.
- PART 5: The mercenary and the new arrivals
Guide: Hey, it’s me. It’s been a while since out chronicles were updated… Hey Mike, how long has it been?
Mike: About a bunch of months. Maybe.
Guide: So a long time, i guess… Anyway, our pet bit the dust long ago, but then we got Dumbo, the heffalump.
Mike: Yep, and he’s a big boy, too!
Guide: Yep, he sure is! With the pet report aside, let’s go with today’s topic. You go ahead and quest now, Mike.
Mike: Got it… (Grabs equipment and leaves)
Guide: So, for the past few months, I’ve known a mercenary who’s been helping me with me work, charging only a small bit of my pay. He goes by Rifter, and… he kinda gives me a weird vibe from him… But he gets the job done. Also, he opens rifts, so… yeah. At least he closes them. He’s not as dumb as he looks… And i really mean it. He wears a jester hat! Now, with the other arrival other than Dumbo… One day, i decided to check my donation box while my hero’s away, and i actually didn’t get any money or blue bricks… It’s some kid with demon horns, monster claws and wings. For some reason, what I first thought was a girl monster experiment slept in the box. I woke her up and someone recorded this… Luckily, nobody was around to see.
(The recording starts)
(Screaming was heard for a second)
???: H-How did you find me?!
Guide: How did I—?! It’s MY BOX! Who are you, and why were you sleeping in MY box?!
???: …
Guide: Come on, out with it!
???: … I don’t know…
Guide: … What?
???: I said I don’t know! I don’t know my own name… I woke up in a tube, I left, and some guys chased me… Your box was the only thing i could hide in… It was uncomfortable because of the stuff already inside, so I emptied it.
Guide: That explains why you were inside… Come on in.
???: Um… Ok.
(Walking was heard for a moment)
(The recording ended)
Guide: Was inviting a monster in a temple illegal? We let Dumbo in, so probably not. Anyway, i let her in and we talked. Then she decided to stay with me for a while. Later on, though, i feel some kind of familiar presence, similar to that… of a god. It’s weird… They say there’s no god of monsters, yet there are those who say there is. Who is this kid? What is she? These sound like questions for another day… Also, now that I think about it, maybe it was Rifter who recorded our meeting. He’s the master of space, after all… Not time, but space.
Anyways, i guess that’s all for now. See ya next time!
