Transcendence Boundless: Chronicles of the Admin Dragon God

Chapter 8: Unveiling the Past: Tragedies

Amidst the dim glow of the holographic profiles, Himeko and Theresa delved into the intricate histories of the 3rd Honkai Eruption survivors. Their scrutiny settled on Shinjiro's bio, a tale wrought with tragedy and unexpected turns.

Shinjiro's Bio

January 1, 1997 - Born on January 1, in St. Louis, Missouri, USA, to the union of Ryūjin Shoto and Alexandra Dela-Cruz, Shinjiro's origins traced a diverse lineage spanning continents. His childhood saw a transcontinental journey as his family relocated to a village near Sapporo, Japan, propelled by his parents' esteemed professions—his father, a brilliant Honkai physicist, and his mother, a formidable A-ranked Schicksal Valkyrie.

February 1, 2000 - Yet, fate took a grim turn, when a wave of Honkai radiation engulfed their village, plunging them into chaos. In the face of terror, Alexandra valiantly battled the encroaching darkness while Shoto shielded their son. Tragedy struck as Shinjiro, in the throes of peril, was pierced by a deadly lance, his parents sacrificing themselves to safeguard him. Rescued by a Valkyrie named Ragna, Shinjiro's life hung by a thread, his body tainted by Honkai radiation.

Years passed, marked by camaraderie with Ragna's Assault Squad and the nurturing bonds formed within its ranks. However, despair loomed as Shinjiro's condition deteriorated, his fate seemingly sealed by the ravages of Honkai radiation.

December 25, 2006 - A hope flickered in the darkness as Shinjiro defied death's grasp. Miraculously spared, he emerged from the brink of oblivion with newfound resilience, his very being imbued with the essence of the cosmos. With galaxy-colored irises and a dragon's grace, Shinjiro's miraculous recovery stunned all who bore witness.

November 30, 2009 - As time marched on, Shinjiro's journey took an unexpected turn, as he grappled with the latent power within him. Transformed into a hybrid of man and dragon, he unleashed a cataclysmic force, bending reality to his will. Amidst the chaos, Shinjiro revealed his ascension as an Administrator of the Ethereal Realm, a being beyond mortal comprehension.

 Himeko widens her eyes at the last entry of Shinjiro's bio, "Theresa, you too knew Shinjiro's secret." Theresa nods and says, "Your adoptive younger brother asked me not to disclose it even to my grandpa. I don't know why he wasn't fond of my grandfather, for some reason."

 Himeko bluntly says, "Did Overseer Otto do something to Shinjiro? Shinjiro told me he is an omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient godly being as the effect of his Administrator status. No offense, Theresa, but your grandfather is sketchy as hell with ultimate crazy simp plans. He put it in his own mouth."

"Yeah, I know," Theresa says sadly. She loves and cares for Otto, but her memories don't lie. She remembers and has flashbacks of him asking her and her 'sister' to have a death match to determine who is a better clone of Kellen Kaslana. Theresa refuses Otto's order to have a death match. The truth of the 2nd Honkai Eruption is revealed: under Otto's command, scientists experimented on Sirin, her friend, and other children within the Babylon lab in Siberia, Russia, for stigmata research. As a result, a formerly kind and hopeful girl, Sirin, became the 2nd Herrscher of the current era, and the Herrscher of Void has 6 herrscher cores. Sirin is hell-bent on destroying humanity and civilization, fueled by her burning hatred and revenge.

"Are you okay, Theresa?" Himeko asks Theresa, who is lost in thought. Himeko's words bring Theresa back to reality. "I'm fine," Theresa says, her voice masking the internal turmoil she felt. "Okay, next up, Naruto's bio."

=Naruto's Bio=

October 10, 2003 - Naruto's arrival marked the night, an event intertwined with tragedy and destiny. Born to Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, he inherited not just a name but a legacy burdened with the weight of prophecies. Naruto, along with his siblings Menma and Mito, bore witness to the chaos unleashed upon their lives.

A masked man, Tobi, disrupted the tranquility of Naruto's birth, leaving a trail of destruction in his wake. In the aftermath, Minato faced an agonizing choice—sacrifice his children to seal the Nine-Tails within them. Hirozen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage, selflessly intervened, sacrificing his soul to divide the immense chakra and soul of the beast among Naruto, Menma, and Mito.

As life unfolded, Naruto's existence became a tale of neglect and abuse. Jiraiya's prophecies, misguided and biased, overshadowed Naruto's childhood. Neglected by his parents, Minato and Kushina, in favor of Menma and Mito, Naruto endured torment at the hands of his siblings. The cruelty inflicted upon him escalated until Naruto, driven to his breaking point, unleashed latent powers, shattering the illusions created by his tormentors.

Sometime in 2009 - The turning point came in when Naruto faced a brutal assault during the infamous 'Fox Hunt.' Left battered and near death, his godmother, Tsunade, overcame her own trauma to save him. Naruto, however, emerged from the ordeal a mere shell, his once blue vibrant eyes now dull and lifeless. Tsunade, determined to break Naruto free from the toxic environment of Konoha, took on the responsibility of guiding him toward survival. After months of preparation, Naruto embarked on a journey, escaping the clutches of a city that had failed to nurture him. His destination, uncertain, Naruto set sail on a trading ship, leaving behind the painful memories of Konoha.
"Grandfather didn't create Konoha as a hellhole," Tsunade declared with conviction. "It's supposed to be a haven for shinobi to relish their childhood before facing the challenges of adulthood!"

Determined to rewrite Naruto's narrative, Tsunade equipped him with the skills needed for survival. Naruto, now severed from the bonds of Konoha, ventured into the unknown, guided by the hope of a better future and the mentorship of the one person who refused to abandon him. The forest of the outskirts of Nagazora became his sanctuary, and the journey to self-discovery unfolded against the backdrop of a world that held both promise and peril.
