  Summary

  In a world where Volo refused to give up on his ambitions, he meets his savior. It turns out Arceus isn't everything it's cracked up to be, though, and in a show of divine wrath, Volo receives JUST want he wants, AND the ultimate punishment all at once.

  Some hundred-years after, a person not too dissimilar from him finds him. Instantly, she wants to know the truth behind this renegade of legend. But will she like what she finds in the person she's unaware is her ancestor, or are they both getting in over their heads?
