This intro was written for the pre-incident setting to serve as an introduction! I've prepared it to help you immerse yourself better.

The Constellations decided to prepare for death. Before them stood their adversaries, enemies capable of putting them in danger. This was the Nebula that once started as a small group created by a single Constellation, and which once housed the strongest and worst Constellation whom all other Nebulas had to unite just to barely exile by invoking 'Fate'.

Nebula, <Stelive>.

Those who proved their potential by rising from Incarnations to Constellations, beings more powerful than any Myth-grade Constellations, who wrote their own histories. Since entering the Final Scenario, the other Constellations began to target the stars of Stelive.

Fear and determination filled the eyes of the Constellations. The achievements Stelive attained in the 'Holy-Demon War' had struck fear into many stars. They had even taken a large share of the Giant Stories because of it.

[...It's beginning.]

One of the Olympus Constellations participating in the battlefield muttered lowly. At the end of his gaze, a crest made of starlight filled the sky. The emblem of <Stelive>. A Nebula that was once just a few small clusters of light now dominated the sky more grandly and brilliantly than any constellation in myth, proudly occupying the center of the stars.

[The Giant Story, 'Stelive', begins to growl.] [The Giant Story, 'Cliche', glares at its rivals.] [The Giant Story, 'Universe', cheers for its Constellations!] [The Giant Story, 'Everlasting', searches desperately for a single Constellation!]

To complete the final 'Conclusion', they had to pioneer their own 'Giant Story'. An incomplete narrative cannot defeat a complete mythic narrative. In the air, constellations were seen breaking and falling. Those stars looked like beautiful shooting stars, yet also like crashing meteors. Fragmented story pieces of the stars were fluttering down like snow.

Starting as an Incarnation meant the lowest and most humble starting point for ascending to the Godhead. Beings who crawled up from the very bottom, of a different class than those born with divinity from the beginning. However, if all of them gathered now, there seemed to be almost no way to defeat them.

[One other Constellation vanished while bearing all of 'Fate'. But even after suffering that much deterioration, they are still dangerous.]

The Constellation who said this was the great Myth-grade Constellation of Nebula <Papyrus>, the 'Master of Abydos'. She had seen the power of those Giant Stories at the forefront of the Holy-Demon War. Thus, she knew their danger better than anyone.

[Tear them all to death! Kill them and restore ██!]

Constellations surpassing the Fable-grade were seen leaping toward the stars of Stelive. Each one was a Constellation approaching Myth-grade, capable of threatening them.

[The Constellation, 'Unicorn Above the Sea', looks down at them.]

[What are you looking at?]

The first Constellation to speak was Ayatsuno Yuni, the one currently leading Nebula <Stelive>.

[The Constellation, 'Unicorn Above the Sea', tells the Legend-grade story, 'Destruction of Purity'.]

「[Oops, that was a mistake, but it actually hit?]」

「[Wha... what kind of nonsense is that! Anyone can see that was clearly intentional—]」

「[Burst.]」

'Unicorn Above the Sea'. She possesses a 'Story' where she burst all 'hostile' Constellations to death in the Holy-Demon War. Those who tried to kill her within the story were miserably burst and murdered by her hand. The Fable-grade Constellation approaching her sat down in shock.

[H-How!]

But his words could not continue to the end. As she slowly raised her right hand and slashed the chest of the Fable-grade Constellation, he began to vanish, sliced in half. In the distance, she saw hesitant Constellations and others rushing in while possessing their Incarnations. Nevertheless, Ayatsuno Yuni showed no sign of fear at all.

[Constellations. If the only thing you feared was a single forgotten star you tried to remove through 'Fate'.]

She added, lightly dodging a yellow harpoon flying from afar.

[I'll carve it into your very deaths that you were completely wrong about that today.]

A crowd of Fable-grade Constellations was rushing toward her with indignant expressions.

[It's just a small Nebula at best! Are you saying we can't even handle a Nebula of barely 10 members!]

As the Constellations receiving the protection of the Giant Story 'Universe' rushed to block the enemies pouring out their stories, Ayatsuno Yuni began to run straight forward. Akane Lize, noticing where she was going, escorted her.

[Run! I'll try to block them as much as I can!]

[The Constellation, 'Excellence of All Heavenly Horses', tells the Legend-grade story, 'Blood-Red Memories'!]

「[...I see. So you are... the Heavenly Horse...]」

In the illusions that seemed to play intermittently between the narrated stories, the owner of this story, 'Akane Lize', was staining the stars red and dropping them all.

「You all will fall into hell forever.」

「No matter where we go.」

「You will surely meet your ruin.」

Soon, a deep scent of blood rose from beneath Akane Lize's feet, eventually covering and melting all the surrounding stars. A Constellation caught in the red dots began to scream.

[Why are you helping <Stelive>, you wench!]

[I was originally a member of <Stelive>.]

However, the seemingly steadfast stars of <Stelive> also began to crumble little by little. Myth-grade Constellations intervened, sacrificing all their stories solely to bring about the twilight of the Nebula <Stelive>'s stars. The Myth-grade Constellations were killing themselves while simultaneously killing the stars of <Stelive>.

[The Constellation, 'Mother of Ancient Dragons', looks at her own ■■.]

Sakihane Fuya.

[The Constellation, 'Black-Snow Doll', looks at her own ■■.]

Shirayuki Hina.

[The Constellation, 'Night Watch Cat', looks at her own ■■.]

Neneko Mashiro.

[The Constellation, 'Turquoise Wanderer', looks at her own ■■.]

Arahashi Tabi.

[The Constellation, 'Purple Will-o'-the-Wisp', looks at her own ■■.]

Tenko Shibuki.

[The Constellation, 'Maid of the Blue Spider', looks at her own ■■.]

Aokumo Rin.

[The Constellation, 'Soaring Lotus', looks at her own ■■.]

Hanako Nana.

[The Constellation, 'Lime-Colored Crescent Moon', looks at her own ■■.]

Yuzuha Riko.

Except for Ayatsuno Yuni and Akane Lize, who had accumulated stories of Legend-grade or higher, the rest had to fight relying solely on 'Giant Stories' and 'Legend-grade' or 'History-grade' stories that were slightly lacking in status. But within those Giant Stories, there was one person missing.

「While this 'Chzzk' does not only welcome perfect stories, they desire a story with a perfect beginning, middle, and end.」

Because they did not gather in one place to fight, a 'Stage' did not occur, and above all, the biggest problem was...

[The Giant Nebula, 'Stelive', searches for its supreme speaker!]

The Constellation with the greatest weight no longer exists by their side. The Constellation who reliably supported them no longer exists in any sky. While Akane Lize tied the Constellations with ropes made of blood, Ayatsuno Yuni began to run toward a giant wall.

The Giant Wall. The eternal and great wall where all the 'beginnings, middles, and ends' of the world are written, recording the inevitable events that are about to happen.

「Sakihane Fuya, whose ship was pierced by Poseidon, sensed her own ■■.」

「[Tabi, open your eyes, please!]」

「[Mashiro! Wake up, it's not over yet! Our ■■ shouldn't come yet!]」

「[The Constellation, 'Night Watch Cat', accepts her own ■■.]」

Ayatsuno Yuni began to run toward the sentences that were not yet written but would soon be written and realized. Those sentences were so painful, and the world was cursing them.

[The Legend-grade story, 'Unicorn's Wings', begins its tale!]

Rainbow-colored wings that burst through Ayatsuno Yuni's back added propulsion, scattering pure white feathers.

[The Legend-grade story, 'Comrades Sharing Life and Death', reminisces about the distant past.]

「■■ and Ayatsuno Yuni achieved feats that far surpassed all stars.」

「And the remaining Ayatsuno Yuni carried out scenarios with the sole thought of reclaiming ■■.」

Ayatsuno Yuni was seen gritting her teeth. She looked as if she were crying, yet also as if she were longing. The story was callously gouging at her wounds. Until the moment she was exiled and sent away, she really wanted to tell her old friend.

「That all of this was not your fault.」

[The Constellation, 'Unicorn Above the Sea', longs for her old friend!]

Ayatsuno Yuni wondered if all of this was just a nightmare. A nightmare created by someone. If she could just wake up, all this nightmare would turn into nothingness and vanish, but...

[The Constellation, 'Unicorn Above the Sea', uses a portion of the skills of the Constellation, 'The Greatest Imperial Princess'!]

[The Constellation, 'Unicorn Above the Sea', uses the 'Immeasurable Story'!]

All of this was strictly reality and truth.

CRASH!!!!

Finally, grabbing the sentences of the flowing wall, Ayatsuno Yuni began to twist the content.

「'Aokumo Rin' smiled quietly at the Constellations that kept swarming in.」

「'Hanako Nana' looked at her withered lotus and began to be stabbed by the blades of the Constellations.」

「'Ayatsuno Yuni' deciphered those sentences. The sentences were desperate and more cynical than any other content. Ayatsuno Yuni screamed as she saw those sentences.」

[Shut up!! I said shut up!!!]

Indifferent to her cry, the sentences continued to be written.

[The ■■ of the Constellation, 'Lime-Colored Crescent Moon', is 'Pain'.]

[The ■■ of the Constellation, 'Soaring Lotus', is 'Winter'.]

[The ■■ of the Constellation, 'Blue Spider's Maid', is 'Extermination'.]

[The ■■ of the Constellation, 'Purple Will-o'-the-Wisp', is 'Death'.]

[The ■■ of the Constellation, 'Turquoise Wanderer', is 'Discovery'.]

[The ■■ of the Constellation, 'Night Watch Cat', is 'Self-Sacrifice'.]

[The ■■ of the Constellation, 'Black-Snow Doll', is 'Happiness'.]

[The ■■ of the Constellation, 'Mother of Ancient Dragons', is 'Hatching'.]

She endured the pain and grabbed those sentences. Amidst all kinds of agony, she held onto the sentences, preventing them from flowing away.

「The blades of the Constellations toward the necks of most of the Stelive Constellations—」

[Agh! Ugh...!!]

Ayatsuno Yuni fought really hard. She had lost precious things, been mocked, and even violated. Nevertheless, she was still a 'Constellation' who could not cross the 'Wall'. Ayatsuno Yuni looked up at the sky. The stars were colliding with each other and falling to become even larger.

She really nothing

[The History-grade story, 'Star Searching', begins its tale!]

In the sky of falling stars, she desperately searched for a constellation. Even though most stars had fallen, there were constellations that existed, faintly emitting starlight. She both resented and longed for those stars. The faint story that connected her and ■■■ ■■. She hoped this would reach.

「Wherever she is, she will surely find her comrade.」

「Many searched for her, but only one can call her.」

ZAP!!!!

Soon, with a warm feeling from behind, the flowing sentences stopped. Feeling this sensation of supporting something together, Ayatsuno Yuni fumbled with her story with trembling fingers.

[The Legend-grade story, 'Comrades Sharing Life and Death', fumbles!]

[The Legend-grade story, 'Comrades Sharing Life and Death', takes the hand of the Legend-grade story, 'Comrades Sharing Life and Death'!]

The story flowed and created a bond, finally defying the ■■ of the Constellation. The only Constellation who can destroy all these ■■ and shake off all fate.

「That story began with ████.」

The 'former' master who leads the Giant Stories, the one who completes the 'Conclusion', and the true master of <Stelive> who was exiled in the 'Holy-Demon War'. The protagonist and supporting character who started the largest Giant Story of <Stelive>.

[The Constellation, 'The Greatest Imperial Princess', looks at the Constellation, 'Unicorn Above the Sea'.]

[Ah... ah...]

The being Ayatsuno Yuni missed the most, the one who had written all of her history together, stood before her, giving her a dazzlingly bright smile.

Ayatsuno Yuni and the other Constellations of <Stelive> were injured, fallen, hurt, and scarred. Nevertheless, they liked the 'Giant Story' they had built. But they had never seen the sentences of that Giant Story flow. Yet, those Giant Stories were beginning to tell a tale.

[H-How! ■■■ ■■ is here...!] [O great 'Chzzk'! She was clearly exiled by 'Fate'!]

[The Control Bureau, 'Chzzk', ignores the opinion!]

The Fable-grade Constellations who were rushing in were seen panicking at the unexpected reaction. Naturally so, for 'The Greatest Imperial Princess' had received an inescapable 'Fate' in the Holy-Demon War and was exiled outside the scenario.

「Her return was something that should never have happened.」

[She is a discarded god! Push them all! Her power has deteriorated!]

Having stopped all the flowing sentences of <Stelive> on the wall, she finally began to write a new fate. Stripping away the shell of death, she began to rewrite the 'Fate' that defies ■■.

[The Legend-grade story, 'The One Who Rewrites Fate', begins its tale!]

Seeing the shocked Fable-grade Constellations pouring in like a tide, ■■■ ■■ reached out her hand into the air as if touching her old story. Soon, her fingers tightly gripped the characters, and she began to move the Giant Stories in which she held the highest share, in her capacity as the 'Representative' of the Nebula.

[The Giant Nebula, <Stelive>, moves the Giant Story 'Stelive'!]

「This world began with an obvious cliché.」

[The Giant Nebula, <Stelive>, moves the Giant Story 'Cliche'!]

「In all multiverses, there was a great being who was with them.」

[The Giant Nebula, <Stelive>, moves the Giant Story, 'Universe'!]

「The forgotten voices that transcended all dimensions were connected as one, joined by the thread of bonds.」

[The Giant Nebula, <Stelive>, moves the Giant Story, 'Everlasting'!]

All the characters of the stories began to scribble as if dancing in her hand. Soon, within the stories that were completed and began to move, a new story began to be drawn out.

As the fallen Constellations of <Stelive> everywhere even began to stand up again, the other Constellations turned pale and tried to flee.

[Some Constellations of the Control Bureau, 'Chzzk', recognize the story of the Constellation, 'The Greatest Imperial Princess'.]

[All stories of the Constellation, 'The Greatest Imperial Princess', are restored!]

[All skills of the Constellation, 'The Greatest Imperial Princess', are restored!]

[All physical skills of the Constellation, 'The Greatest Imperial Princess', are restored!]

[The vast majority of Constellations are appalled!]

Myth-grade Constellations, who had not shown themselves until now, were seen hurriedly manifesting in their true bodies. Despite having cut down so many stars, there were still many Myth-grade Constellations.

[The Control Bureau, 'Chzzk', recognizes the achievements of the Constellation, 'The Greatest Imperial Princess'.]

■■■ ■■ looked at the characters appearing before her eyes with a quiet smile.

[A new Giant Story sprouts for the Constellation, 'The Greatest Imperial Princess'!]

[The Giant Story, 'Mystic', begins its tale!]

Looking at the face of the dazed Ayatsuno Yuni, ■■■ ■■ then looked at the Myth-grade Constellations and Fable-grade Constellations equivalent to Myth-grade rushing toward her. Their charge looked as if they were rushing in spite of themselves.

「Those who fail to control the story are eventually consumed by it.」

[All Giant Stories of Nebula <Stelive> are imbued!]

At that moment, ■■■ ■■ thought. At that moment, ■■?■ ■■ thought At that moment, ██!██ thou That ██? ██?!██!

At that moment, Airi Kanna thought.

[You all...]

[Haven't changed a single bit since you exiled me back then.]

[The ◇◇-grade story, 'Destroyer of All Stars', begins its tale!]

The field of vision shifted instantly to a background with a red full moon. And there, Airi Kanna was stacking corpses as she cut down Myth-grade Constellations.

「Airi Kanna, standing atop the corpses of Myth-grade Constellations, smiled at them.」

「[Keep coming at me, again and again. You will all die by my hand.]」

[You all are going to die this time.]

Airi Kanna, aiming all the Giant Stories and her own ◇◇-grade story at the rushing Myth-grade Constellations, looked down at them more coldly than anything. The spectacle of the 'Stage' was seen faintly mixing in everywhere. Finally, the moment they tried to use their abilities on her.

[Burst.]

The heads of the rushing Myth-grade Constellations burst apart.
