Veritas Spin-Off; The Alternate Reality Village

A long time ago, in the Veritas' origins, it was known as an isolated land in between reality known as 'The Reality'. There, one of the leaders of the realm, Khrona, ruled over it all alongside his half-brother in their youth. In that time, there were many things that occurred, but one thing that they didn't count on was for there to be several 'Alternate Realities' that branched off from the original -- one of which was known as the Distorted Reality.

Back in the youthful beginnings of Khrona Tensei and the Veritas when it was only the Reality, we take a look at things that happened in the Reality Village and how certain altered variables caused different outcomes, resulting in the 'Alternate Reality'. As we know it, the Alternate Realities are virtually infinite, but we still get a chance to glimpse at what can only be known as the 'Alternate Reality Village'.

The first thing to occur once the Alternate Realities were peered into was that a Chomao was placed into each one, each one serving as a 'Cleff' -- of which all of them would be named whilst within whichever Alternate Reality. Unlike the original Cleff, which is their father, they had different and more limited abilities, and even as they went through the events of the Reality into the Lost World -- if even going such a route in whatever Alternate Reality -- the Chomao would not grow more powerful than their father, nor would a resulting Veritas (if one emerges) become greater than the Original.

The Chomao were a virtual security system, and therefore needed to manage the Veritas' security so that events like that would not pop up uselessly in the Virtual Reality. Wherever they ended up is where they would stay, though whether or not they could be seen, they were still there, sustaining those Alternate Realities and watching over them as Cleffs.

The 'Distorted Reality', which is a version of the 'Reality' that was a residual effect of the Reality moving to the Lost World's reality from out of its own, was the first known 'Alternate Reality Village'. Though each Reality Village might have harbored a 'A Mental Mind' plane within the Portals, -- which was canonically discovered to be Khrona's own mind shaping much of the Reality they existed in -- it may not have always remained, or even been Khrona's... Or even been there at all. Such was the power of the Alternate Realities.

However in the Distorted Reality, the remnant of that was left behind as an imprint of the Distorted Reality's originality as the first Alternate Reality, the powers of the Mental Mind which was confirmed to be the original Khrona's bore seniority over all copies, and the Distorted Reality could never be superseded as the original Alternate Reality of the Reality. Khrona had done this long ago, but it was only relevant right now, as the Alternate Realities were extended into -- all of which would be after the Distorted Reality, even if they began before the Distorted Reality ever got created.

With that said, the Distorted Reality that does exist as the original Alternate Reality of the Reality still ended up inhabiting the same reality as the Lost World... But this time, inversely. You see, the original Lost World was destroyed by Khrona Tensei -- the entire dimension is decimated, and the only remains are crystallized in the Veritas as a trophy and a memory. Before this happened, the Lost World branched off into its own alternate reality, and it is canon that some of them recall Khrona Tensei from the first reality that they all existed in, making it canonical in both storylines.

The most important part about why this functions is because the Distorted Reality existed before the secondary reality that the 'Neo Lost World', as Khrona calls it sometimes, had gotten into. Considering that their new dimension was already made for them before they crossed over, and the Distorted Reality existed prior to that event, the Distorted Reality left behind by the original Reality is where the Neo Lost World exists, and unlike when the Reality transitioned to their reality and rested there, they suffered the inverse effect where they traveled into the next canonical reality parallel to them -- that belonged to the Distorted Reality. Thus, the tables had turned, and the Neo Lost World existed in the Distorted Reality, inversely to how the Original Reality existed in the Lost World.
