"It's too demanding on controls, FF16 in action mode is too difficult." Erickson complained to his computer screen while eating takeout, his computer screen showing a black screen with the word 'failure'.
"How many phases does this Ultima have?!" Erickson said, pressing the controller. With a flash of white light, he felt dizzy and was instantly transported to another place. Looking at the unfamiliar world before him, Erickson reached out his hand, but what met his eyes was not his own large hand, but a pair of tender hands.
With a mechanical sound, Erickson knew that the transmigrator's cheat had arrived!
"Ding, successfully bound to host. Detected strong will from host."
"Welcome to the world of Final Fantasy!"
"Granting host template."
"The third son of the Grand Duke of Rosaria and Joshua Rosfield are twin brothers."
"Name: Elaric Rosfield."
"Issuing Newbie reward: Summoned Beast Sword God — Bahamut."
"Elemental Magic Affinity!"
Upon hearing what the system said, Erickson 's eyes instantly lit up. He had transmigrated to FF16 and was even the protagonist Clive's younger brother. He could even summon the final boss from FF15, the Sword God — Bahamut.
The world of Final Fantasy, this is also a work centered around crystals — FF16.
This world possesses magic, and the most outstanding people in wielding magical power are called Dominants. Not only can they use magic, but they can also transform into summoned beasts, and their power is unparalleled!
Those who use magic are called Bearers. Bearers, with sufficient knowledge, can cast spells called Forbidden Curses, which made nations feel threatened, thus sparking a war between ordinary people and Bearers. Due to the relatively smaller number of Bearers compared to ordinary people,
ordinary people won the war using human wave tactics. Nations established laws: "Bearers are not human." Various countries then used wyvern grass venom to carve marks on the faces of Bearers. If removed under imperfect technical conditions, it would result in death by poisoning.
After this incident, an organization dedicated to maintaining "truth" also developed, whose purpose was to conceal historical books and knowledge that caused major events, thereby maintaining the ruling position of ordinary people (themselves). Dominants were usually bought off at extremely high prices.
In the year 860 of the Valisthean calendar, the Phoenix Gate tragedy occurred.
His elder brother Clive was first knighted by Joshua, and Joshua used the power of Phoenix to bestow upon Clive the "Blessing of Phoenix." From then on, Clive could wield a portion of Phoenix's power.
Thinking of this, Erickson also understood that he had to create a true Final Fantasy and absolutely could not let the Phoenix Gate tragedy happen here as it did in the game.
The Grand Duchy of Rosaria — this night was destined to be sleepless. Annabella lay on the bed, looking haggard, with two crying infants in her arms.
Grand Duke Elwin Rosfield looked at the haggard Annabella, gently caressing her face. At this moment, Erickson , or rather Elaric, saw the man before him for the first time in reality.
This man was the Grand Duke of Rosaria — Elwin Rosfield. The ancestral summoned beast within the Grand Duchy of Rosaria was the Phoenix — Phoenix.
He maintained a duchy without being a Dominant, which definitely made him a competent king and father.
On this continent, there are five towering mothercrystals, and their function is to vitalize the energy flow of the surrounding land, allowing people to freely use magic. The people here established empires based on the mothercrystals.
The Holy Empire of Sanbreque in the northeast, the Dhalmekian Republic in the southernmost part, the Kingdom of Waloed in the easternmost part of the continent, the Iron Kingdom in the westernmost part, and the Grand Duchy of Rosaria where Erickson was located.
As far back as Elaric could remember, he and his twin brother Joshua would always pester their eldest brother Clive to play together. Like Clive, Elaric inherited his father Elwin's swordsmanship talent and his father's black hair, while Joshua inherited his mother Annabella's blonde hair.
Since arriving in this world, Elaric had held the conviction that since he was here, he wouldn't rest until he changed the Phoenix Gate. He had diligently studied swordsmanship from a young age, learning alongside his elder brother Clive, while his other brother Joshua inherited the sacred beast of Rosaria, the Phoenix — Phoenix, becoming the Dominant of this generation, and the Grand Duchy was also inherited by a Dominant.
Elaric knew clearly that the two brothers before him were one, the Dominant of Phoenix, and the other, the fire summoned beast, Ifrit.
"Historian Moss's records mention one thing."
"The land of Valisthea is blessed by crystals."
"The mothercrystals guarding the land guide people towards prosperity."
"However, people's self, which emerged at some unknown time, gradually confused their minds."
"Therefore — the quest for crystals continues to this day."
Valisthea, year 860 of the Valisthean calendar, Phoenix Gate.
Two massive summoned beasts appeared in the city. One had two red horns on its head, its body covered in hard scales, constantly emitting flames, its golden eyes fixed on the other summoned beast before it.
That summoned beast was the Phoenix — Phoenix, the summoned beast passed down through generations in the Grand Duchy of Rosaria.
The mysterious summoned beast roared at Phoenix, then pushed off with its feet and charged towards Phoenix in the sky.
Phoenix flapped its wings, dodged sideways, then flew into the sky, spreading its wings, flames surging from its body. It dove down, appearing like a meteor from Phoenix Gate, its tail leaving a blue streak of light.
The mysterious summoned beast looked up, its surroundings already illuminated by the fire. Phoenix had already arrived before it, directly raising its claws to meet Phoenix's attack head-on.
But things did not go as planned. Phoenix's strike directly pierced the ground, fierce flames erupted, and lava accompanied by shattered rocks fell. Phoenix's claws pressed the mysterious summoned beast against the cliff face.
Beneath the ground was a bottomless chasm. Phoenix flapped its wings, flying in the air, allowing the mysterious summoned beast to fall naturally. Then it dove down, pressing the mysterious summoned beast against the cliff face, grinding it. The mysterious summoned beast roared, its sharp claws spread. Seeing this, Phoenix pushed off with its feet, creating distance from the mysterious summoned beast.
The mysterious summoned beast's sharp claws firmly gripped the cliff face, while Phoenix released several fireballs from its wings. These attacks hit the mysterious summoned beast without effect. It used its sharp claws to jump back and forth between the two cliff faces to dodge Phoenix's attacks.
After several dodges, the mysterious summoned beast had already reached Phoenix. Flames surged from the mysterious summoned beast's body as it charged directly at Phoenix.
Phoenix flapped its wings, doing a flip in the air to directly dodge the mysterious summoned beast's charge. With this strike, the two summoned beasts fell faster and faster. Amidst the lateral jumps, flames surged from the mysterious summoned beast's body. Phoenix was not as lucky as before; the mysterious summoned beast directly grabbed Phoenix in mid-air, and both summoned beasts fell together.
Beneath the ground, countless stone pillars stood. Unexpectedly, there was an ancient ruin beneath Phoenix Gate. Phoenix embraced the mysterious summoned beast with its wings, but arms are much more flexible than claws. The mysterious summoned beast stretched its hands, directly opening Phoenix's wings, then attacked Phoenix's body with its claws, but was forcefully struck against a stone pillar by Phoenix's feet.
The mysterious summoned beast's right hand grabbed the stone wall, falling steadily onto a platform. Then it roared and directly jumped onto Phoenix, flames surging from its body, punching Phoenix repeatedly.

Nysa Canyon — Dhalmekian Republic territory.
Clive looked at the campfire before him, lost in thought. Several soldiers also gathered around Clive, their faces marked with the Bearer's brand.
The group remained silent, as if waiting for something. At this moment, a person walked in from outside and spoke to the blonde man leaning against the wall.
"It's almost dawn. The two armies should be starting their movements soon."
The blonde man walked to the campfire after hearing this: "Our mission is to assassinate — a Dominant."
"Don't get the target wrong."
The black-haired soldier sitting opposite Clive chuckled upon hearing this: "The target is a woman, right? Who would get that wrong on a battlefield?" He finished speaking and leaned back on his hands on the ground.
Clive remained silent.
"By the way, are you sure she'll show up?" the man asked the blonde man.
"Regardless, we have no right to refuse, as long as this is here." The blonde man said, bending down: "No questions allowed."
