A lonely star system, composed of a single star and eight Earthlike planets in a ring, continues to drift through empty space. This is the Remnant system, and the homeworld of the Remnant System Interuniversal Forces (or RSIF), formerly known as Project ONE.

Not a lot of time had passed for Omega, compared to the other heroes. It may have been somewhere between four and seven years. Nevertheless, it was still enough time for him and his faction to make major advances in technology... and magic, too.



Magic, believe it or not, didn't originally exist in this universe. It had been created by an ancient human civilization, the same one that was responsible for the terraforming of the eight planets in the ring. It still drew power from Mana, the essence that allows magic to exist in the multiverse, but it was a more stable form of magic than most other forms.

That ancient civilization had disappeared long ago, after a small group broke off and started creating a similar form of magic, this time for evil. In this galaxy, the only thing that remained of the civilization, aside from the Remnant system, was several crystals containing the evil faction's abilities, scattered around the system. The last few members of the good faction had hidden the star system from outsiders, to prevent this.

Nevertheless, a colonization ship would eventually find the system, after being suddenly forced out of hyperspace right next to an Earth-like planet. It would end up crashing on the planet before it could send out information about this star system. Alpha654, one of the original heroes (and Omega's past self), was one of the only survivors, because he had found one of those crystals (and was capable of suppressing the corruption that came with it).

At least, that's what happened in one of the galaxies. This ancient civilization had colonized a total of 24 of these galaxies in Universe 12681654, and each one would end up having their own version of humanity. Some of them would start to expand even further, reaching for new galaxies. A few would find a way to tap into this civilization's magic abilities. Unfortunately, the other 23 galaxies are not part of our story.

At least, not at the moment. I'm not a fan of creating lore on the spot without any time to refine it; I usually end up changing those pieces of lore. Just a heads-up.



Before the Second Battle of the Multiverse, Project ONE had discovered a second crystal on one of the other planets. This one still had its original corrupting properties, but with the help of technology, that corruption would be nullified, allowing it to be used for good. Instead of just giving it to Omega, however, they agreed to try combining its abilities with technology. As a result, they were able to create all sorts of new Magic/Technology Hybrids. After the Second Battle of the Multiverse, this would spearhead their development into a true spacefaring faction.

It also helped Omega; during the journey to their home universe, the remains of the Royal Imperial fleet that Alpha had brought with him had attacked. Omega had nearly been killed, and in order to save him, his consciousness had to be uploaded into an AI, which was placed inside a mostly-mechanical body. Due to these new advances, this new mechanical body was able to be equipped with quite a few new weapons and other modules.

Project ONE also developed new ships using all their new technology. The first line of these ships was actually designed without life support in mind, since the faction was entirely composed of AIs by now, but it was decided to include life support due to the possibility that others may need these ships.

Everything had changed, and so they also decided on a new name. By this point, they were using "ONE Federation" as a temporary name, but it was later changed to the Remnant System Interuniversal Forces, or RSIF.

Shortly after everything was complete, they began to actually colonize other star systems. They ended up discovering that several other factions had appeared and now colonized the entire galaxy. Due to the destructive nature of the kinds of battles that RSIF had had to go through, it was decided that these factions wouldn't be forced to help unless absolutely necessary.



At this point, most of RSIF had settled down to help the rest of their galaxy expand. This was not only done to help the other factions progress; Despite the agreement made before, the RSIF knew that they would eventually have to call for the other factions' help.

But that time hadn't yet come, and so they had a lot of time on their hands. Omega used much of this time to visit the other universes. He did visit some places that he had previously been to, but reflecting on his adventure wasn't actually the purpose of these visits.

Omega was the second of the seven original heroes, but now he seemed to be the only one left. Two had been killed by the battles, and four had gone missing. Out of those four, only one had some sort of lead as to where he had gone, but the other three were missing for a very long time. Omega's visits to the multiverse were attempts to try and find those three missing heroes. Unfortunately, these attempts were always unsuccessful. Not a single trace of their location could be found.

That, of course, wasn't the RSIF's only concern. There was a lack of evidence to prove the deaths of several known villains. There was a theory that the missing hero, Sparky, was used for some malevolent project; a theory supported by the circumstances of his disappearance.

All of this pointed to another attack coming in the near future. Omega knew that he had to prepare for it, so that when it happened, he and the RSIF would be able to help.
