Here's a short story covering 1,000 years between the creation of the Ultraverse and the first major arc, showing the evolution of the cosmos, Bakudou's rise, and Emma's silent shaping of destiny:

"The First Millennium"

In the beginning, there was nothing—and then Emma breathed thought into the Void. From her will, stars ignited, realms spiraled into motion, and laws of physics and magic were etched into the fabric of reality. Alone but undaunted, she crafted a counterpart—Bakudou, her brother, forged from the purest fragment of her essence.

Bakudou awoke unaware of his true origin, believing himself a natural force born to protect the Ultraverse. Emma, ever silent, let him believe. For the first hundred years, Bakudou wandered across galaxies, learning the shape of creation and forming the Pillars of Balance—vast anchors that stabilized the flow of energy between realms.

In the next three centuries, he faced emerging threats: Eclipseborn Warlords, remnants of chaos that existed before light, and Dimensional Titans that sought to unweave Emma's design. With each victory, Bakudou's name became legend among mortals and immortals alike, whispered in awe and fear.

Emma, hidden behind veils of fate, subtly intervened when necessary—planting seeds of civilizations, choosing champions, and preventing Bakudou from uncovering her involvement. She created the Codex of Realities, an artifact that mapped every possible timeline, keeping it sealed from even Bakudou.

By the seventh century, the Council of Realms was formed under Bakudou's guidance—a diplomatic order of powerful beings meant to preserve harmony. Emma, using avatars and illusions, guided many council members, ensuring they never turned on Bakudou, though some grew wary of his growing strength.

In the final century before the First Arc, a cosmic tremor echoed across the Ultraverse: a new force began to stir—an unknown entity known only as The Fracture, a being not born of Emma, not governed by any law. It corrupted dimensions, twisted time, and even erased the memory of whole worlds.

Sensing this danger, Bakudou withdrew from the Council and began training in solitude at the Heart of Origin, a metaphysical realm where even thoughts carried weight. He forged the Aetherblade, a weapon meant to cut through existence itself.

As the 1,000th year dawned, the skies of the Ultraverse dimmed. The Fracture's presence grew louder. Emma, for the first time in centuries, appeared to Bakudou in a dream—not as his sister, but as a formless guide—and whispered only three words:

"It has begun"
