Umamusume: Beyond The Boundary

by J_Win

Summary:

In one of many worlds, a young man lives without something most Umamusume never lack of—a dream.
Somehow, he ends up training an entire team of them. His doubts aren’t just his own; fragments of flawed memory and false interpretation of the outside world masquerading as nightmares seem determined to convince him he can’t succeed. Whether he can plant his feet firmly in this strange new tomorrow… well, that’s his race to run.

 

And if that sounds too serious for you, you can still stick around because there’s a lot of Gold Ship nonsense here, enough to fill a Budget or Appropriation Bill.

Update: This became a full-on convoluted philosophical and somewhat deep exploration of established relationships in the Umamusume game and the anime. So be warned!

That is their fate.

In this world, Umamusume live to race. To duel with speed and will. No one knows how their races will end—not them, not us—but still, they run. Because for them, there’s only ever one thing ahead:

The goal at the end of it all.

Turf, dirt, or the unforgiving vastness of the world—no track is too daunting, no challenge too insurmountable. They run forward, always forward, chasing something only they can see.

 

Their legacy will take the form of a trailblazing path that will serve as the light and inspiration for posterity to come.
