INSIDE a labyrinthine library exist the souls of the many many writers. These writers, now called "Alchemists," must delve into the stories of authors and do whatever is necessary to carry them out to their proper conclusions.
Taints are creatures who can be of any form that change the plot within these stories, making them be deleted from the world.
One obscure author, named Eve, last name not given, was rarely called to delve in a book to fight against these taints. She would just hang around in the few secret places that the library could offer. She only wondered why she was even in there. She usually stood beside the director, who was a talking cat, and told the delving authors their next objective.
"Heard this was some sort of fan fiction." The blue-haired writer named Xingqiu nudged someone.
An artist by the name of Albedo exclusively part of the team lifted his chin, "Either way, all literary works can not be destroyed. Genre and Type matters doesn't matter, the author has put their time for it so letting it be deleted is not an option."
"Exactly." The cat, who was called a director, pointed, "Sadly, only one can enter the book for some odd reason."
"Aww, we're not allowed to go?!" Bennett, who was an unknown writer, jumped up and down with no calming down.
Accidentally, almost in a quick second, the clumsy little Bennett fell on the floor. His back fell to where Eve was standing, and coincidentally sent her there instead.
"Wait, Av-" The Acting Director suddenly exclaimed, not even able to finish her name. The cat's face fell down, "I forgot to tell you something different about that book.."

Eve fell on the floor, with no weapon to protect herself. She neither knew the plot nor the proper ending for this book titled "24 Minutes." It was dark and dimly-lit, so seeing wherever she were wasn't too clear for her to see.
"I'm in a theater?" She questioned, her eyes adjusting to the room. There were a huge set of chairs, bigger and a lot more in numbers than a usual cinema in their time would. Almost as if someone would hold a global movie screening.
"Welcome!" A foreign voice called, there was a woman. Her stature was short as Hinata's, had blonde curly hair but was wearing something dark. It almost looked like she was blending in with the surroundings.
Eve asked, "Who might you be?"
"I'm the main theater attendant. The name's Dipper if you will!" She bowed.
"Uh-huh.."
"Well that's quite unexpected." Dipp interjected, raising her hand a little, "I assumed you'd know this story and change the plot right away."
"You know what I'm planning to do?" Eve backed a bit, frightened.
"That is how I was written, I was written to guide and know most of it all." She claimed, "Oh! Oh! Would you perhaps want to act as a theater attendant with me?!"
"Who would even suggest that right away? Don't you have.. the anxiety that people would reject you?" Eve raised an eyebrow.
"A..Anyways.." Eve cleared her throat, changing the topic. She thought she'd take this advantage and maybe have Dipp guide her. She had her suspicions about this theatress, but she planned to play along for now. "I guess I'll go act theatress with you."
"Good, that escalated quickly! I'll go entertain these special people for the first few episodes, so you can get a grip on being a theatress!" Dipper smiled ever so brightly, "I'm sure you'll get the hang of it!"
"With that happy-go-lucky face," Eve thought, "You seem the farthest type to be a taint."

Loud thuds came after one another, others had bigger impacts while others crashed with each other. All of them slowly woke up to a dark dark room, each of them questioning whatever happened. It's not everyday you get kidnapped, after all.
The woman, who was smaller than Hinata, came to their view and considering the odd circumstances, everyone stood into their fighting stances.
Yukine was called out by Yato before turning into two Katanas while Hiyori stood behind him. The same goes for other Gods calling their Regalias for battle. Kofuku with Daikoku and Bishamonten with Kazuma alone.
Hanako, Tsuchigomori and Yako were calm. After all, the three of them are mere apparitions. All that while Yashiro and Aoi weren't battle ready unlike Akane and then Kou and Teru with their Exorcist Equipment.
The Black Bulls got into their stances, powering their magic. Though, for some reason, Finral's Spatial Magic to create a portal to places in their universe was definitely not working.
The four Hunters took out their fighting equipments, like Gon's fishing rod and Kurapica's nunchucks. (Not the chains.)
The students and two teachers of Class 1-A activated their quirks, awaiting for the "villain" to come forth.
The Armed Detective Agency and few from the Port Mafia avoided conflict with each other, seeing that both were taken by the same person unwillingly.
The Survey Corps pulled out the blades on their ODM Gears while the Demon Slayer Corps took out their blades with no hesitation.
The Shinoa Squad with the addition of Mikaela took out their demon swords for battle. The Gracefield Kids put their fists up, even if they aren't physically there yet, they'll try to use their wits to make up for it.
..And the Karasuno Volleyball Team were at awestruck. Hinata yelled, "WHOAH WHOAH WHOAH! I'M NOT SEEING THINGS RIGHT? ARE THOSE SUPERPOWERS?!!!"
"I THINK THEY ARE!" Tanaka and Nishinoya joined in and chanted with the tangerine, "THEY ARE? THEY ARE! THEY REALLY ARE!"
"Did I get my head hit like those idiots too? I think there's someone with a birdhead and a floating girl's uniform.." Kageyama said, staring blankly at Class 1-A.
"Will everyone shut up?" A young teen hushed them, catching them to stay silent yet ready to fight, "Please put down those weapons, I won't hurt you obviously. The fangirls won't tolerate that."
"Anyways, my name is Dipper but please call me Dipp and we're here to watch your experiences in life. In a cinema-ish style!" She finished.
"Experiences in life?' Is this gonna be some philosophical shit?" Zora yawned, "You're gonna kidnap us and then make us believe you're not gonna do anything. And then you're gonna make us watch a biography of a person we don't know shit about? The hell is your deal, old hag?"
"First of all, I'm not an old hag," She pouted, "Second, you really don't have any other choice."
"I don't know who these fuckers are but.." Chuuya walked towards her, "It's you who doesn't have a choice. After taking me away from my precious wine, if you don't show me a way out then I guess I have to kill you."
Dazai looked at him in disappointment, "Chuuya, nobody cares about your wine-"
"Shut up, you bandaged fuck!" He shouted.
"Aw, now that's mean."
The gravity manipulator was about to use his ability when it suddenly disappeared. And it wasn't just him, everyone else with supernatural gifts tried to activate them, only to them to suddenly vanish.
"An erasure quirk like Mr. Aizawa..?"
"An ability similar to that suicidal maniac Dazai?"
"Is it like Asta's Anti-Magic.. but with wider capabilities..?"
For others had their blades and weapons disappearing within their grasps. They were all in her hands.
"What was that? Did she take them in godspeed? Is she a god like me then?!"
"Is she a vampire? No.. not even vampires could do that, I think.."
"AAAAA, I don't understand! I thought superpowers only exist in anime and video games like Kenma said?!"
Many had been swallowed to overthink.
"I have no knowledge about the outside world having supernatural abilities.." Norman stated, "But seeing you're smiling nonchalantly means you're confident against us."
"Correct, I am but a mere fragment of someone's imagination, here to guide you in your journey in the past, present and future!" Dipp answered, gaining a few questions marks from everyone, "Anyways, the multiverse is broad and I figured for us to watch them in the perspective of the protagonist of each world."
She shooed them to a seat and with the kindness she was giving, it made them go along with whatever devious plan she was onto.
"Wait, does that mean whoever is the protagonist will have their secrets revealed, right?" Midoriya raised his hand.
Everyone's eyes widened. Nobody wants their past to be spilled, especially if these were something they regret.
Kaminari mumbled, "I actually wanted to be a protagonist but now that you say it, maybe not."
"Of course you did." Jiro facepalmed.
Everyone sat on each row, separated by people they know and don't. Their seats weren't so far away from each other either way. "Aight let's start!"
"Wait-!" Sasha called out, shocking even her Survey Corps comrades.
"Oi, what's wrong, potato girl?"
"It's been bothering me but why are their hair that colorful?" She said, pointing to mostly everyone, "Is it normal to have red and white hair at the same time?" She glanced at Todoroki.
Connie added, "Is it some kind of disease?!"
"What do you mean? Our hair is totally like this since before!" Shinoa said, twirling her hair, Mitsu and Kimizuki nodding in the background.
"Are you saying you were born with with purple hair?!" Hiyori said, shocked.
Yukine looked over her, "What are you so shocked for? Kofuku has pink hair and you didn't ask about it!"
"U-Uh.. I thought she dyed her hair pink.." She rubbed the back of her head and mumbled the last part, "And since she's a goddess.. I thought it.. was fine..."
"I thought I heard goddess." Gauche said, listening in to their conversation, "But alas, no one shall compare to my angel, awh! Marie!" He said as his nose began to bleed.
The room was definitely getting noisy. Everyone else who doesn't know how to shut the fuck up had no sense of noticing how long they're taking.
"Hey, there~ Would you like to go out with me sometime?" Finral said, forgetting his 'curse' and started hitting on Karasuno's Volleyball Team Manager.
"Oya, what are you doing?" Tanaka and Nishinoya stared daggers to the spatial Magic user. "Get your hands off Karasuno's #1 beauty."
"Eh..ehheh.. are you her boyfri-?"
"You may have that awesome and super cool superpower that definitely-doesn't-make-me-jealous, but!!" The shaved-headed man declared, "We will not falter for our school's goddess!"
"Uh-huh..?"
The unwavering clashes of different voices created a disharmonious tone within the theater. Dipp couldn't shut them up, she was still busy fixing the show clips.
"Urgh! Waiting is so boring!" Inosuke slid his two swords from his back (?) and drew them above his head, "FIGHT ME, YOU LOSERS!"
His scratchy voice echoed around and while those of people that are sane enough didn't move an inch, others.. well..
"YOU WANNA GO?! LET'S FUCKING GO THEN!" Bakugo stood up from his seat and created small explosions.
"AHA! I LIKE YOU, YOU.. EH.. WHAT'S YOUR NAME AGAIN? TAMAGATSUKKI BARAGAKUDOO?!" He yelled, "WHATEVER, I SHALL DEFEAT YOU AND YOUR TINY SPARKS, YOU POMERANIAN!"
"EHH?!! WHO THE HELL TOLD YOU TO CALL ME THOSE, YOU SHITTY BOAR-HEAD?!!"
"Oooh!" A blonde from the Black Bulls' ears perked, "Someone's picking a fight! LET'S FIGHT TOO, CAN WE?"
"OI, OI, OI, If Luck is coming then I'm fighting too! No way am I letting him get all the glory!" Magna grinned, partnering with the blonde.
The four gladly smiled widely, not even breaking a sweat.
"Don't hog up all the spotlight, you'll have to fight me too!" Yuichirou stood up, wielding his demon sword, "It's good training anyways."
Mikaela grabbed his collar, "Yu, no."
"Hmm?" Yuno looked at them, mistakenly thinking he was called, "Are you inviting me on a battle? Stupid."
"IF HE'S NOT GONNA COME, THEN I'LL FIGHT!" Asta joined in, "No way am I getting left behind."
Arthur Boyle had his hair perk rather than the ear, "Oh? Someone's challenging the Knight King? Very well, I accept this battle!"
Shinra pushed him away with a devilish grin, "I'm coming too!"
"Sounds like a brawl's brewing up." Ranpo commented, munching up his snacks that magically appeared on his lap.
"S-Shouldn't we stop them, s..sir?!" Yamaguchi asked in a panic.
The detective looked at him, surprised at first but suddenly smiling in the end, "Don't worry about it at all, kid. Actually.. this will be very entertaining."
The pinch server dropped a sweat, unsure if they should even be watching a dangerous event to unfold right in front of their eyes.
"So these kids are dangerous yet stupid." Tsuchigomori fixed his eyeglass, "What the hell?"
Everyone else that still weren't battle-loving maniacs all thought one thing, "Is this what you call..
..powerful idiots?"
