L.IV Case File: 001

-Preface-

Due to various conditions being t, certain notes from L.IV have been deciphered.

-Notes on the Current World-

This current world resides in the Alpha tiline, one of the two concurrent tilines in the previously six-sided world.

The Alpha tiline is parallel to the Beta tiline where Rudeus Greyrat lives a complete and fulfilling life.

While key events are similar between the two, such as the birth and early childhood of the one known as Rudeus Greyrat, they are completely separate and do not normally overlap or interfere.

-Tiline notes-

There exists a source tiline one where Orsted loses his battle against Hitogami. This source tiline is locked by the authority of the Dragon God and set to revert to a certain point until Hitogami is slain.

In this tiline, the Playback Miko is born and dies each ti, trapped in Orsted's world reverting tiloop.

This 'source' tiline is what Hitogami seeks to return to.

Due to minor fluctuations in the source tiline wrought by Orsted's world reverting tiloop, a confluence of miracles causes the source tiline to transmute into the Alpha tiline when the Playback Miko's desperate prayer to save the love of her life results in the soul of Rudeus Greyrat to fall into the six-sided world.

In the Alpha tiline, Rudeus Greyrat lives his life similar to that of the Rudeus Greyrat in the Beta tiline. However, the death of his wife, Roxy Migurdia leads to a downward spiral. Falling into depravity and revenge while losing everyone he loves, at the end of his life he develops a ti travel spell to return to the past and warn his past self to not make his mistakes.

This ti travel spell is flawed. Based on modifications from the notes of the Dragon God's original tiloop spell, the intent is to physically send the caster back in ti to change the past and create a new future.

However, this is impossible as the flow of ti is locked to the Dragon God's tiloop spell. Information may be sent back, but it is impossible to send matter back in ti as it would disrupt Orsted's loop.

Through ingenuity, desparation, and determination, Rudeus obtains a partial success.

The ti travel spell splits the Alpha tiline, creating the Beta tiline under full authority of the Dragon God's spell and the Alpha Pri tiline, free to deviate in every way.

Rudeus arrives in the past of the Beta tiline, his spell latching onto it by accident due to the similarity between his spell and the Dragon God's loop spell. Believing it to be his past, he gives that tiline's Rudeus a journal of what is to co and warns him so as to not make the sa mistakes. The accident in his spell leaves Rudeus without vital organs, and so he perishes, leaving that tiline's Rudeus to take his advice and eventually live a full life.

However, Rudeus's death did not end the spell.

Following his demise, the incomplete spell continues and returns his soul to the past of the Alpha Pri tiline. During this period, [redacted].

The result is that the Playback Miko's wish and powers miss their mark, reaching towards a parallel Earth instead of the original, which is currently linked to the Beta tiline.

-Parallel Earth (EarthK482)-

This Earth is 99.9999% similar to the Earth connected to the Beta tiline. Although there are a variety of minor difference, the key difference is that the 'person' who is fated to beco Rudeus Greyrat leads a different life.

From a young age, he shows a remarkable capacity for various skills and has a keen intellect. This results in eting and continually exceeding the expectations placed on him throughout his childhood. However, this capacity becos poison as he squanders his talents pursuing too many avenues and forsaking his education, seeking quick successes instead of longterm success.

Consequently, he becos estranged and spends his adultlife drifting from job to job while losing himself in researching various topics, watching ani, playing gas, and whatever else catches his eyes.

Around his late twenties, he realizes his errors and turns his life around, earning a university degree in record ti as well as landing a high-paying job right from graduation. After making plans and arrangents to et and repair his relationships with his family, he tragically is caught in a major car accident around Christmas Eve and horribly incapacitated, leaving him immobile and blind.

So ti later, he passes away from his injuries but lingers on as an earthbound spirit until his funeral.

At this point, the Playback Miko's powers latch onto his soul and summon him to the six-sided world.

Approximately the sa ti that his soul is summoned, Nanahoshi Shizuka perishes saving Shinohara Akito from a truck passing a red light.

-Alpha Pri Tiline-

The events are the sa as the other tilines up until approximately K390.

Elinalise partially regains her mories as Rostelina after eting [redacted], leading her to leave her newborn child and breaking her tradition of raising her child to maturity.

The general flow of events remain the sa until K407 when Rudeus Greyrat is born.

However, due to the unstable nature of the Alpha Pri tiline and the nature of the soul born as Rudeus Greyrat, infinite branches split off from his birth.

In order to resolve this quandry, and to prevent Hitogami from taking advantage of the instability to revert both the Beta tiline and the Alpha Pri tiline to the source tiline [redacted] arranges Technique God Laplace to arrive and sever the more volatile branches by using the 'Observer' theory and reducing the branches to a single active 'worldline.'

[redacted]

-Lostbelts-

These are branches that have been severed as a result of Technique God Laplace's interference, consigned to the imaginary space of 'possibility.'

Rather than a single point in ti, these are 'belts' of ti that have been lost due to the origin point now being impossible.

-L.I: Knight-

Rudeus Greyrat walks the path of body enhancent and the blade. He maintains his childhood friendship with Sylphy but never leaves Buina village. During the tastasis incident, he and Sylphy arrive in Princess Ariel's gardens, saving her from monsters and becoming her loyal knights.

Rudeus Greyrat walks a similar path to the Beta tiline up until the tastasis incident.

By chance, Rudy and Eris do not encounter Ruijerd. Fortunately, Rudy is much more competent than his counterpart and manages to protect Eris, albeit at the cost of countless battle scars.

He learns early on about the tastasis incident and creates an army of automatons to scour the land.

Upon reuniting with his father in Milis and learning of the treatnt of the victims and the noble's callousness, Rudeus adopts the na Rudeus Notus Greyrat, declaring Eris as his lady and invades Milis, conquering it with an endless army of automatons before excising the corrupt nobility.

-L.?: R.N.G-

The currently observed tiline. Although not currently a lostbelt, it possesses the ability to turn into one at any mont.

The first divergence point is the assimilation of fragnts of the Dragon God's authority due to Rudy's childhood mana transfusion as well as portions of the Playback Miko's authority.

The second divergence point is the forced partial assimilation of Alpha Rudeus's personality and mories, triggering a tiline reversal.

The third divergence point is the forced separation of Alpha Rudeus and Rudy by Rostelina.
