Little Garden

Power Progression

Background / History

Little Garden is an otherworld that gathers anomalies, gods, demons, and beings from countless races. Its conflicts over territory, resources, status, and survival are formally resolved through Gift Games rather than unrestricted violence. Its natural barrier, the Great Wall of Little Garden, separates upper and lower strata and divides gods, demons, and mortals. 203 204

The realm attracts “problem children” from other worlds through dimensional invitations. These letters specifically call to individuals rejected, isolated, or restrained by their original worlds, offering them a place where their exceptional Gifts are accepted. Izayoi Sakamaki, Kudou Asuka, and Kasukabe Yō answer such summons and arrive in Little Garden, where they join the declining Community [No Name]. 202 203 204

After [No Name] wins the Fire Dragon Birth Festival and defeats the middle-stratum envoy Laide Oris, Little Garden’s lower- and middle-level power balance is shaken. The victory demonstrates that its supposedly absolute stratum hierarchy can be challenged. 206 211

A separate crisis later reveals that multiple levels of Little Garden have been corrupted by extraterritorial forces using “keys” as anchors for invasion. Uchiha Gen purifies the affected planes, destroys vanguard keys, and ultimately reverses the Mother Key’s origin. This transforms it from the source of corruption into the realm’s central protective authority. 221 229

Society and Rules

Gift Games

Gift Games regulate major disputes in Little Garden. Their outcomes determine ownership, resources, territory, status, and even a Community’s right to survive. System notifications enforce declared rewards and penalties after a game concludes. 204 207 210

• Communities can wager resources, territory, Gifts, or other rights.
• Participants are bound by a game’s contract, but concept-type Gifts can still function during legitimate game combat. 205
• A defeated side may be compelled to transfer its wagered assets automatically. 207 210
• Gift Games can involve life-or-death stakes, as demonstrated by the Fire Dragon Birth Festival. 204 207

The Nine Keys

The nine keys were originally exploited by extraterritorial forces to erode Little Garden’s barriers and establish an invasion route. Eight foundational keys were purified and sealed within their respective planes, while the Mother Key served as the central source of the corruption. 228 229

After the Mother Key’s origin is reversed, the nine keys become a unified protective system.

• Mother Key — Reconstructed into a golden, protective origin core that recognizes Uchiha Gen as its master. 228
• Eight foundational keys — Return to their respective planes and form the outer components of the nine-key array. 229
• Nine-Key Celestial Cycle Realm-Locking Array — Seals extraterritorial passages, reinforces the realm barrier, and conceals Little Garden from the outer void. 229 230

Ultimate Defenses

• Nine-Key Celestial Cycle Realm-Locking Array — Eternal barrier array formed by the nine keys; stabilizes the realm and isolates chaos contamination. 229 230
• Willpower of all beings — The collective hope, survival, and resolve of Little Garden’s inhabitants can feed into the realm’s barriers and empower its ruler. 230
• Little Garden Origin Divine Core — A dormant final trump card left by the ancient gods. Only a ruler recognized by the entire realm and in control of all nine keys is qualified to awaken it. 229
