Chapter 1 - HAHAHA
Wind blows, grass flows, birds chirping the morning away, animal eating hay. A cool and serene morning, only interrupted by the occasional sounds made in the background.
In this background, there is a school. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that this look nothing like a school and more like a little city with students practicing whatever this school teaches.
“Fireball!!”
Flames erupt out of nothing in air, as if like magic. Shaped like a ball nearly the size of a human head, roaring like a mad tiger, devouring everything in its way leaving nothing behind as it shoots out towards wherever it goes.
“Watershot!!”
Water shoots out of the ground with speed comparable to a swordfish in water. Wiggling around like a snake then shooting towards the flame opening its mouth, like it’s going to swallow the flame itself.
*PUUWWSSSSHHHH*
The result, the flame and water collision caused a dense fog, which slowly expanding outwards enveloping the two people who made the fire and water apparition, as it goes further from the impact point the fog slowly loses its density until it disappear revealing two young child who looks to be between 6-8 years old. The children are wearing pale grey robe with no pattern or emblems or marks that could distinguish or identify on them except a rope binding around their waist to keep the robe closed, in other words a plain robe.
They both show indifferent expression like the show they made before was nothing other than childish play (lol yet they’re a child too)
(???) “Good, you two have….failed the basics. Next!”
“Thank you Sensei” the two children replied, in complete harmony and bowed at the same time.
*Damnit, can’t believe I failed. What the hell did I fail?* the two children thought as they walk away with the same indifference expression on their face but under that, they feel pissed for failing such a simple task.
(Sensei) *Che, children these days think magic is all brawn. You can’t go around wasting mana and hope for the best, no brainer idiots*
As the Sensei gazed over everyone in front of him, every child in the line felt dread and terror at this man intensive watch, just like how a hawk watches a mouse, they too felt that with one movement he could kill them.

Not surprising considering this Sensei looks to be in his 30s, even with the plain robe, it couldn’t hide his powerful yet lean built body and warlike aura, which was tempered through countless battles, gave an intimidating feeling. Hawk-like eyes, straighten out eyebrows with straight cheeks, and along with a scar going from the procerus between his eyes curving downward under his left eye and ending near his leftmost jaw, shaped similar to a jaggered ‘S’. His black hair let loosed adding further to his already frighting appearance. He has a name, he is known as….
(???) “Mars Sensei, why the scary look eh? You trying to start a ‘who can make the most children piss their robe’ game eh?”
(Mars) “What do you want fatso” visibly irritation at this intruder
(???) “I would love to punch your face, but you’re needed in the Hall” Mar ears perks up at the mention of the word “Hall”
(Mars) “Fine, here you take over the fatso section……. What a coincidence fatso gonna teach the fatso club” clearly the unknown Sensei was twitching at Mar’s insult to him, enduring the sharp tongue of Mar’s since he is needed in the ‘Hall’ or else he would already be clashing with Mars.
“Oh? Got nothing to say? Right fat….”
*ENOUGH! WHEN I CALL FOR YOU BOY, I EXPECT AN IMMEDIATE ARRIVAL, DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR!?*
Seeing Mars suddenly shut up, then visibly shaken and nodding his head, the fat man smiles knowing Mars just got scolded by the Head.
“Oh, look at that. Did Mars get scolded? Hahaha”
Flashing the fat sensei the evil look before striding off towards the Hall or face further punishment from the Head, which according to his experience is something that makes the devil look like a tamed kitten compared to the Head’s wrath.
“Mars here, Sir”
*Enter*
Once Mars open the door and enter, the view of the Hall is massive yet plain. Not something you’ll expect from a 90m width with a length of 240m length Hall. There are no known patterns, just pillars sprouting out every 10 metres starting from Mars left and right end side all the way to the other side with a simple chair, when taking a closer look, the chair too looks plain and it’s not elevated to make whoever sit on that chair overlook the whole hall but merely across since its attached at floor level. Clearly this school rely more on practical and austere lifestyle rather than an exquisite and lavish appearance to boast about the wealth of this particular school.

As Mars walk towards the chair on the other side of the Hall. Getting closer, he sees on the chair someone he is all too familiar with….
The Head, who according to rumours is more than a thousand years old, but the surprising thing is, this Head looks nothing over 40 years old yet he gives off that ancient feeling which makes people believe the rumours.
In front of him are two other people with robes kneeling in front of the Head and a bundle of robes in between them. As Mars walks halfway through the Hall he smells something off but can’t quite put his finger on it.
*Strange*
10m from the two robes and Mars suddenly realised what that strange smell was and stops. He deliberately sniffs loudly so that two robed people in front of him can hear him smelling. The robed person on the right shakes a little and subtly moves away from the person on the left side. Clearly Mars didn’t miss the message and immediately guess the left person is the one emitting the piss-like smell.
(???) “You speak one word and I will kill you right now Mars! Do I make myself clear?”
Mars getting threatened by a feminine voice he knows all too well on his left side who smells like piss couldn’t help smirk at this situation. (I mean? Who wouldn’t laugh at the fact that a girl smelling like piss is threatening you haha)
*Enough*
All three stopped, especially the robed person on the right who kept trying to hold his laugh in stopped and raised all their head towards him.
** The Head will be speaking through telepathy or whatever it’s called to speak through peoples mind
*Mars, you are from Earth correct?*
“Yes sir”
*Then this boy is yours*
The robe bundle that was in front of everyone starts to unfold and reveal a bloodied teenage boy.
“Sir, may I be as presumptuous as to ask how a boy like this entered here?”
*Yan speak*
All eyes focused on the person on the left. That mysterious lady who emitted piss smell is Yan.
“I was fighting against them and ne-next thing I-I know I found this BOY who was bloodied”
When Yan said the word ‘Boy’, she said so with obvious hatred and visibly shaken. Mars wonder what happened between them two.
‘Sigh’ *Drai fill in the gaps*
“Yes. Long story short, Yan’s fight caused a spatial rift which opened up to your home world of Earth and one thing lead
to another, including the fact that she crash landed near this boy here..” pointing at the boy in the bundle
“..Who in his terror pissed on Yan..”
*Pfft seriously? I so should have been there watching her getting pissed on, damn my luck* thought Mars
“...after blasting him with fireball, another rift appeared at the tree that this boy was about to crash against and strangely enough he actually passed through the spatial rift and ended up here”
“WHAT?? You’re telling me he entered here without any magic and to BOOT, he actually survived the rift travel??” visibly shocked at Drai proclamation about this boy’s feat in getting here who possessed no magic whatsoever which from what he knows is freakin impossible, bullshit talk, yet here is the prove laid bare before him.
After a few seconds of surprised, he went back to act normal at least.
“Sorry, please continue Drai”
“Yes, after that I’ve tried sending him back but for some reason he can’t enter the rift, it’s as if a barrier is around this boy to prevent from going through a rift”
“Huh?”
*It’s true hence me sending you a new apprentice*
“Sir, may I ask two questions?”
*What are they?*
“Who made the rift that made it possible for this boy to enter here? And my second question is…”
“…Why can’t you send him back yourself sir?”

The world has ended, and those worthy of it have received the chance for a new life in a new reality. Zach grew in power and thrived in the post-Framework world. He became a respected leader, a shining example of what it meant to be good. But as the world ended, he had only one thought: to punish the monster that had killed the world long before the Framework ended it. Yet not even with his incredible power was he able to stand against the World Ender. His arrival in the new realty, the Infinite Realm, gives him the chance to grow stronger, to find the monster again—and make it pay. Ryun survived the chaos after the arrival of the Framework by pushing harder than anyone else. He grew in power until he became the most powerful being that had ever walked the planet; but he is hated by the world, called a monster by all others, the World Ender. As the world ends and he steps into a new one, where people stronger than him have lived for centuries, he finds himself lost and without purpose. The only thing that had mattered to him had been lost to him long ago. He truly was the monster that people considered him to be, and he now finds himself wondering if this new reality has a place for someone like him—but he had never been one for lying down and dying without a fight. One world fell to his power, and another might follow.

Star Wars X Mass Effect
Like the title says, it's a crossover between Star Wars and Mass Effect. I'm using both the Star Wars Legends continuity and my personal playthrough of Mass Effect Trilogy for the story. This is actually my first fan fiction ever, so sorry in advance if chapters feel like summaries or my writing in general is off.
