~ Timeskip: 7 Years (Artorias is 12) ~
"WHAT THE HELL!!!!" Artorias shouted in disbelief as he stared at what was currently in front of him.
In front of him was a screen projecting from his phone which shouldn't be possible.
[Welcome (Admin) Artorias Pendragon to the Multiversal Group Chat]
To understand what's going on we must go back to when the universe was first created.
~ Flashback: A few hours ~
It has just hit January 1, otherwise known as Artorias' birthday. It was 12:00 am and everyone was asleep.
In Artorias' room, his phone that was on the nightstand closest to him started to shake violently before floating up emitting a bright blue light as his phone started to change shape to that of a futuristic Iphone which.
After the transformation was done the phone gently floated back down on the nightstand frontside up with the words.
[Welcome (Admin) Artorias Pendragon to the Multiversal Group Chat]
Now back to where Artorias finds out about the Group Chat and his peaceful second life is disrupted.
~ Flashback End ~
~ Artorias Pendragons ~
"WHAT THE HELL!!!!!"
'No, no, no, no, no, this can NOT be happening right now. I was enjoying my second life where I wouldn't have to fight god's and demons obsessed with destroying or taking over the world.'
'Why R.O.B!? Why do you have to do this to me!? Are you still upset that I tried to trick you and called you dumb!? If so I said I'm sorry!' If someone came into the room right now they would see Artorias on his knees with comical rivers of tears coming from his face.
"Man this sucks, here I was enjoying my second life then, boom! This gets dropped on me…then there's the fact that I can do nothing but accept it…man this really sucks."
Looking at his newly transformed phone he noticed that the battery and data bars had infinity signs. "At least I don't have to worry about the phone dying nor do I have to worry about the data or signals."
Tapping on the M.G.C app that was now on his phone, he saw that the app strangely resembles that of Discord.

"So 2 of them are locked… alright, I guess it's time to meet the other members." Tapping on the 'Group Chat Members' he saw that there was no one but him in it. 'Huh maybe I have to wait for them?'
Deciding to wait for the members, he was about to go out the door, but stopped as his father burst through it, almost breaking it off it's hinges "Son Hap-! Hurgh!" He was shocked in the jaw by his mother knocking him out.
His mother looked at Artorias with a sweet smile, "Sweety, why don't you go and visit your cousin…the one that you actually like." She still had that same sweet smile as she spoke, sending a shiver down his spine. 'It's almost like she's telling me to leave the house.'
"Y-You mean Hiura?" He was met with a nod as her smile widened. Artorias audibly gulped, he needed to hurry and get out of the house, "Y-Yeah I haven't seen him in a while, but how am I supposed to get there? You don't expect an 11 year old to walk alone, d-do you?"
(A/N: He thinks his birthday is the next day so he still thinks he's 11.)
"Take Sebastian." His mother was quick to respond…too quick.
"Sebastian? Why can't I take Alex-!"
"Take. Sebastian." Artorias gulped although his mother's smile didn't change he could've sworn he saw the face of the devil behind her, "Taking Sebastian!" And with that Artorias ran out of the room dragging his parents personal butler with him.
He passed by Ruby and Ai who were talking about Ai's performance in a movie she starred in "Hi Ai and Ruby! Bye Ai and Ruby!"
Yup, after living there for more than 2 years Artorias offered them to just live here permanently which they accepted especially Ai and Ruby, since they claimed it made them feel like Royalty.
~
In the car Artorias was thinking about how weird his mother was acting 'Why was mom so eager to get me out of the house…? The only reason she would want me out of the house is because of my birthd-! Wait, what's today?' Looking at the date on his phone Artorias realized it was his birthday.
'Ah. So that's why she wanted me out of the house…and that's why she knocked dad out too, R.O.B knows he can't keep a secret to save his life' he thought sweatdropping at the fact that his father was always left out on secrets.
Looking at his phone he saw the 'Multiversal Group Chat' app. Tapping on the app he saw that there were still no new members so he decided to ask the Group Chat A.I
~ Ask the Group Chat A.I
Before Asking the A.I make sure to use 'Question-' or 'Q-' then type or think your questions.
(Admin) [Artorias Pendragon]: Question- Where are the other Group Chat members?
Group Chat A.I: Answer- Admin Artorias Pendragon must invite the other group chat members.
'Okay, so how am I supposed to do that?' He thought. He looked down and saw that whathe thought was put into a question, 'Huh, Neat.'
(Admin) [Artorias Pendragon]: Question- How am I supposed to do that?
Group Chat A.I: Answer- Admin Artorias Pendragon must invite 6 group chat members, in person.
'I see so. Well there goes my peaceful second life.' Let it be known that Artorias was not at all excited or happy about this, the only reason he's not complaining much is simply due to the fact that there is absolutely nothing he can do about it.
He can't go and meet the 'R.O.B' again, he'd probably have to die for that, nor could he just chuck the phone and throw it away, it was 100% definitely soul bound to him, it would just come back.
Deciding to not think about it and stress himself out, he was about to put his phone back in his pocket and take a short nap until he got to his cousin's house, his phone had vibrated.
Thinking it was Ai, Ruby, Aqua, or the Kujou siblings texting him, he looked at it only to find that the 'M.G.C' app had forcefully opened itself and was on the 'Missions' section with bold letters.

(A/N: Now I know people hate when authors use non-Japanese names in Japanese themed verses, like Jason Uchiha in Naruto, so I used Yuusha which means hero. Since Artorias is a slightly more masculine version of Artoria, which is the feminine version of Arthur, which means bravery, and Yuusha means 'brave man' or 'hero', which Arthur Pendragon is depicted as in history.
I wanted to at least have his Japanese name connect to his original name rather than coming up with an entirely different name. Also he will NOT use the name Yuusha in every single verse he goes to, only Japanese themed verses. So, don't expect him to keep the name Yuusha in verses like Bleach, where they have non-Japanese names.)

'Seriously? I already have a tutorial, if you can even call it that. WHO ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH WOULD CALL THE NARUTO VERSE A TUTORIAL!!! It's official that R.O.B is definitely still upset with me… at least it gives me time to celebrate my birthday today…'
"Young Master Artorias, we're here." Artorias' thoughts were interrupted by his father's personal butler Sebastian. "It seems we are… thank you Sebastian, why don't you come back in, let's say 2-3 hours, yeah?" Not waiting for a response, Artorias got out of the car, before walking to his cousin's front door.
He stood at the front door of his cousin's house for a while until he heard Sebastian drive off. He waited for at least a good 30 seconds before walking to the side of the house where the room to his cousin's window was located. 'And it's already opened.' A mischievous grin made its way to his face.
~
Mihate Hiura, was a 13 year old boy that had glossy black hair, with his bangs covering his right eye, and had reddish-pink eyes, and much like Artorias he looked quite feminine.
Right now he is currently playing Seikiro: Shadows Die Twice and struggling to beat the Chained Ogre "Dammit! Why won't he just die already!?" He was tempted to throw the controller on the floor but controlled himself.
Deciding to take a break, Hiura left the room and towards the kitchen to get something to drink and when he came back to his room he opened the door to find his cousin Artorias Pendragon sitting on his bed while playing Seikiro.
"AHHH! Artorias what the hell!? Did you come through the window again? God, you almost gave me a heart attack!"
Without even looking up Artorias responded "You mean R.O.B." The way he said it was so casual that it caused Hiura to blink in confusion "R.O.B? Who's that?"
"Nevermind, I saw that you were having some problems with Chained Ogre. I gotta say you suck he's actually one of the easier bosses in the game, yet you died to him 15 times in the span of 25 minutes." Artorias spoke his voice carrying apparent disappointment while shaking his head.
Hiura's eyebrow twitched "Oi! This is my first souls bor-! Wait, did you say 25 minutes…?"
"Artorias?"
"Hm~?"
"How long were you watching me for?"
Artorias didn't answer his question, but instead focused on the fight he was currently in. "Artorias, how long were you watching me?"
"Hold on, let me kill this guy for you first." Artorias focused on beating Chained Ogre and after 4 minutes he beat the boss before turning to Hiura with a mischievous grin on his face.
"I was watching you for 30 minutes. I was originally planning to just scare you but I saw you playing, failing, and raging so I decided to just watch. In the end, not only did I get to watch you fail and rage, but I also scared you."
Hiura wanted to yell at his cousin he really did but decided not to, no matter what he did or said Artorias would never listen to him, and smiled at the fact that his cousin never seemed to change. His thoughts were interrupted by said cousin.
"Stop smiling like that…you look like a girl." Hiura eyebrow twitched and a vein popped up on his forehead "YOU DO TOO YOU IDIOT!!!! OUR WHOLE FAMILY DOES!!!"
What Hiura said is true: their whole family looks like girls or rather the men in their family look more feminine than other men in their world. Legend was that a shrine maiden cursed their families men for going around harassing women and wanted the men in their family to experience being harrowing for themselves. However that was just a legend no one in their family really knows why the men suddenly start to look more feminine.
"Whatever~, where's auntie and uncle?" Artorias asked, dismissing his cousin's outburst. Hiura stiffened upon the question not wanting to spill the fact that both his mom and dad had gone to his house and was helping with the decorations.
"W-Well y-you see-" he was cut off by Artorias who deadpanned
"Nevermind, you're going to lie."
"W-What? W-What are you saying?"
"You know you're terrible at lying…you stutter when you lie." Artorias said going back to playing Seikiro.
"W-Wha? I-I'd n-never." Hiura said trying to defend himself but he was stuttering.
"See, you're doing it now."
Hiura tried to speak but he just gave up. Walking over he sat on the bed next to Artorias and watched him play and beat bosses that he was previously having problems with easily.
~ Timeskip: 3 hours ~
A loud knock was heard at the front door which woke Artorias up. He tried to get up and see who it was but there was weight on his chest, looking down he saw Hiura sleeping with his head on his chest.
Artorias uncaringly pushed Hiura off of him and onto the floor causing Hiura to wake up with a groan "Ugh, what was that for?" Artorias groggily got up from the bed and responded "You were sleeping on my chest."
"It's my bed, why were you sleeping on MY bed?"
"…fair point."
There was another loud knock at the front door, Artorias looked at the still sleepy Hiura "Oh yeah, the front door that's why I was woken up. Do you think it's your parents?" He asked while yawning.
Hiura shook his head "No, they aren't supposed to be back till later." Artorias' head jolted up "Then who could it-! Wait, What time is it?" He asked with a tone of urgency,
"It's 8:30, why?"
"Crap! I forgot I had told Sebastian to come and take me back home in about 3 hours, and I got here around 5 o'clock. Who knows how long he's been standing out there knocking." Artorias said getting up and stretching before getting his hoodie that he had taken off before going to sleep.
"Oh wait, I'm coming with you." Hiura said getting up and grabbing a jacket following him out of the room. Artorias looked at Hiura for a second before shrugging and walking to the front door.
~
After a 30 minute drive they had finally arrived back at Artorias' house. When Artorias and Hiura got out of the car they saw that all the lights were off, Hiura was nervously looking at Artorias from time to time, while Artorias was trying to hype himself up to act surprised.
The door opened with Artorias, Hiura, and Sebastian walking in and after it closed all the light's were turned on and everyone got out of their hiding spot
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY ART/ARTORIAS/ARTORIA!!!"
Artorias was gonna try and act surprised…until he heard the name 'Artoria' come out of one of the voices among the other 50 or so voices. His eyebrow twitched as he knew exactly who had called him that.
His eyes zeroed in on a girl about the same age as him with platinum blonde hair and sky blue eyes smirking at him, knowing he heard her call him by that name.
He was about to call out to her to give her a piece of his mind before he was tackled by his mother, "Oh! My son is growing up way too quickly! Why don't you just stay 12 for the rest of your life!" Artorias sweatdropped at this "I'm pretty sure that's not how it works mom." But he was ignored.
His father fortunately or unfortunately came in to save him "Don't be silly Evelynn…HE NEEDS TO GROW UP AND BECOME A MAN!!!" His mom's grip tightened for an instant before she rounded on her husband gripping his color "HE DOES NOT NEED TO BECOME A MAN! HE NEEDS TO STAY MY LITTLE BABY BOY FOREVER!!"
Now free shook his head with a smile everyone was used to their antics by now which is why they were practically being ignored. Artorias walked around the room with maids and butlers congratulating him on turning 12 before he eventually got to his friends.
The first to get to him was Yuki who ran up and hugged him "Happy Birthday Artorias-Nii!" Artorias smiled at her and patted her head to which she reveled in and rubbed her face against his neck taking deep inhales.
"Thank you Yuki, and it looks like your condition is getting better." Artorias said seeing her not looking as skinny as she had before. "Yup, the doctor estimates that I'll be able to go out and start doing regular activities in about 3 years." She said with her chest puffed out in pride and her face screaming 'Thats right, praise me!'
Artorias just smiled at the girl and patted her head. "That's good, I can't wait."
After he was done, Masachika walked up to him and said "Happy Birthday Art." He said while raising his fist, to which Artorias responded in kind "Thanks…you definitely forgot today was my birthday because you were up all night playing gacha games, weren't you?"
"W-What! I did no-, I did."
"Understandable, I forgot today was my birthday too."
"Yeah…wait what?" Masachika was confused, and rightfully so, Artorias had this habit of saying things with the most casual tone causing the person he talks to to momentarily not realize what he says.
"Anyway, have a great day~!" Artorias walked away ignoring Masachika's confusion.
The next people to greet him were the Hoshino's, they all wished him a happy birthday except Ruby who looked angry at him for some reason "What's her problem." Artorias asked, looking towards Ai and Aqua who both had teasing smile's on their faces.
"Oh nothing, she's just jealous of how you were treating Yuki-chan over there." Ai said with a giggle which Miyako joined in on. "Ah, I see, you want a head pat too, Ruby-chan?" Artorias asked, smiling towards Ruby.
The answer he got was a 'Hmph!' But she leaned her head forward a bit indicating that she indeed wanted a head pat. Chuckling a bit Artorias placed his hand on her head and started to pat it causing Ruby to let out a giggle.
After he was done he walked towards the last two people he expected to be here "Masha, Alya! I thought you both were in Russia, and your hair…" he said looking at both Masha, and Alya's hair. Masha' hair was turning a brownish hazelnut color while Alya's hair was turning lighter.
"I couldn't miss my fiancé's birthday now could I? And Alya didn't want to miss it either~, she was all worried about what to get you."
"Masha! What are you saying!?"
"You should've seen her Art! She was calling Your mother and Alexis about the things you like and dislike, she even-" Masha was cut off by Alya who covered her mouth with her hands.
"Masha, be quiet! He doesn't need to know that!" Alya yelled at Masha who just giggled behind Alya's hand. Artorias had a teasing grin on his face "Awww, I didn't know you cared so much Alya~."
Alya's eyebrow twitched as she rounded on Artorias "Quiet Artoria!" A vein on Artorias' head appeared and he got in Alya's face "The hell did you call me, you crybaby!?"
Masha just stood there and watched them with a happy smile on her face. "You both get along so well~."
"NO WE DON'T!"
Masha just giggled at this.
~
It was now 11:55 pm the party was over and almost everyone had gone home or was asleep, the only person being up was Artorias who was looking at his phone, more specifically the countdown on when he had to go on the mission.
Seeing that it was 5 minutes left Artorias looked up at the moon seeing that it was a full moon tonight, he sighed once again knowing that after this 5 minutes were up he could say goodbye to his peaceful life
"It was fun while it lasted though."
He looked back at his phone to see that it was 30 seconds left. Taking a deep breath and standing up as there were now 10 seconds left.

The world turned gray and everything came to a stop as Artorias was covered with a bright bluish white light, and after the light died down Artorias was nowhere to be seen.
