In the alternate timeline of the cardinal world Velgrynd, where powerful beings roamed freely, Rimuru, the chaos creator, finally breaks free from Michael's control. Her mind, once under the grip of vengeful mana, is now her own again. Determined to reunite with Rudra, her lost love, she embarks on a journey to find him.

Her quest leads her to the heart of Z City, a place teeming with energy and secrets. As she delves deeper into the city's mysteries, her aura accidentally flares up in anger, thinking about Feldway. This causes ripples across the universe. In a cataclysmic accident, Saitama, the infamous One Punch Man, finds himself obliterated—his entire body reduced to nothingness, along with his world and God in it.

Witnessing the chaos she has inadvertently caused, Velgrynd feels a bit embarrassed by the accident. She is meant to act with more control, unlike Veldora. She is, after all, a being of immense power, far beyond mortal comprehension, and needs to maintain proper control over her power. Using her material creation abilities, she reconstructs Saitama's material form but adds a playful twist. Instead of restoring him as the bald hero he once was, she transforms him into a girl—a petite, unsuspecting girl with a new set of memories.

"Who... who am I?" Saitama asks, bewildered by her surroundings in the void, suspended in a world without color, nothingness stretching infinitely.

"Because, my dear Saitama, you were too puny in your previous form. Now, as a girl, you'll experience life from a different perspective. Besides, I needed a test subject," Velgrynd replies with a touch of arrogance.

"Test subject for what?" Saitama blinks, trying to grasp her new reality.

"To revive Rudra," Velgrynd says. "I believe I can bring him back using just his soul. But first, I need to perfect the process. And you, my dear Saitama, are the perfect guinea pig."

And so, Saitama, now a girl named Raika, becomes Velgrynd's unwitting assistant. Days turn into weeks, and Velgrynd's obsession grows. She pushes the boundaries of life and death, determined to reunite with Rudra. In the quiet moments, when Raika questions her motives, Velgrynd smiles cryptically and says, "Trust me, this is bigger than both of us, Raika, my lowly mortal."

Velgrynd takes Raika with her into a subspace near the path to move beyond the dimension literally beyond dimension by definition, with no boundaries in space-time continuum. Nothing stops them. Yet, Velgrynd’s aura is enough to destroy the whole subspace into nothingness. A nothingness become more nothingness.

Raika’s mind is in a terrible state, overwhelmed by the new identity and the immense power of Velgrynd. The confusion and loss of her past self weigh heavily on her. She struggles to adapt to her new form and role. However, as the days turn into weeks, and weeks into months, her resilience grows. After three years or so, her state of mind begins to stabilize. She finds a semblance of peace, even amidst the overwhelming presence of Velgrynd.

Throughout this time, Velgrynd’s obsession with reviving Rudra is the driving force. Raika learns to navigate this new reality, finding strength in her new identity and slowly coming to terms with the life thrust upon her. Velgrynd’s casual, almost dismissive attitude is both a source of frustration and a strange comfort for Raika, knowing that her fate is intertwined with a being of such incredible power.

In the end, Raika understands that her existence, though manipulated and altered, has a purpose. She becomes an integral part of Velgrynd’s grand design, learning that sometimes, even the most chaotic events can lead to a new beginning.
