Here goes nothing. Yuugi Mutou, famous mangaka and game loving dork, adds something new to his current manga he is working on. His first ever manga that got him on the map was about this character, the protagonist, being a able to jump into another characters world. He’s put his character into super hero comics, into other manga’s and so much more. Other mangaka’s and artists were so excited to collaborate and have his character come into their world too. It was fun. Tonight though, while working on a new page, he decides to change it up. Instead of jumping to another fictional world, he decides to have his character jump to the real world. Basically, he was going to make an entire side story of his character meeting him. He pauses, glances at the clock and winces, five am already? He really had to go grocery shopping and run some errands tomorrow so he sighs and comes to a stop for tonight. He’d finish it tomorrow then, or rather, later today. He’d stopped with the portal opening in his hometowns portal.
Little did he know….A portal actually opened in said park and out comes a person…His character. He’s too busy sleeping to notice and he only finds out when he wakes up. Errands are tossed out the window as he instead goes to the park because his curiosity is piqued. It was a huge coincidence! It had to be. There was no way fiction became a reality. But, lo and behold, there stands his character, near the portal. Their eyes meet and he sucks in a breath.
Differing dimensions never stood much an obstacle to Atem, as it should any other mortal man. As history would have it, for many lifetimes, it was the birthright of the royal bloodline to inherit dominion over a sacred relic of mysterious origin come their ascension to the throne (an heirloom much more exciting than some fancy chair, that’s for sure).
The item’s existence would only be revealed to its successor come coronation day, who’d swear an oath to oversee and protect it. For this was no ordinary object of old; this was a portal that could by cross dimensions kept under lock and key guarded away beyond the walls of a secret, sacred temple buried beneath the palace. It was the duty of the king and his high court to tend to it, and whenever the portal began to act up or emit otherworldly things (especially in the case they wreak havoc), it is his duty to step through the portal and close the one in the opposite universe. To preserve peace and balance; an honored duty.
This time, he finds himself in what appears to be public grounds of some kind. Awkward, long, slate-like seats are tucked against plank-lined barriers. He squints at the unexpected stream of sunlight that beams down on him from overhead, hand flying instinctively to guard his eyes. As awed as he is by the world, the world is awed by him. People dressed in funny attire and foreign fabrics shoot him looks. He doesn’t pay them any mind. His focus was to unearth the source of the disturbance, the root of what had caused this portal to emerge in the first place.
As Atem’s gaze drifts to survey his surroundings, it clips to a figure some feet away from him. At a glance, Atem might think he was looking in a mirror. Atem squinted harder, though, and determined it no reflection, but a man that bore several striking similarities to him. Different, still: his skin, paler; his eyes, a soft lavender; and his stature, the slightest shorter. He was slim, and certainly not combat-ready like Atem. The Pharaoh had bore witness to many mysterious abnormalities throughout these voyages, but somehow, this was so bizarre a thing, it outdid all those before it. He stood and stared, lips parted in silent surprise. When he did speak, he directed his words towards the stranger that looked shocked as he.
❝ You... what is your title? I know not who you are, or by what which or way you resemble me, but I intend to find out. Nothing like this has ever happened before... therefore, you must play a crucial role in the disturbance of this dimension. It’s the only logical conclusion.
Do not be afraid. I come to bring peace, and will no harm upon you. ❞
