This page consists of the timeline within the Dragon Ball Alteration story, created by Irish Illustrations.
Creation and Purpose
The Alterverse was created as a direct result of the chaos within the Dragon Ball Multiverse. Thanks to those with the ability to change Space-Time through Magic, Ki, and science it gave rise to beings known as time anomalies/distortions. This domino effect of time altering running rampant and uncontrolled led to chaos within the multiverse and eventually this chaos collapsed in on itself, giving birth to an entirely new reality. This new timeline became the anti-thesis to what had created it, all that chaos gave rise to a powerful force known as LAW.
The purpose of this reality was to correct the chaos of the multiverse and bring order to every timeline, starting with those that created it.
LAW
Upon the birth of the Alterverse a new set of multiversal rules were also created. These rules became known as LAW and was viewed by many to be the will of the Multiverse itself putting a stop to those that threatened it. LAW is capable of imposing rules upon the power system known as Ki as well as Magic and changing the laws around Time.
Effects
Ki
Ki, when under the effects of Law changes on a fundamental level and creates new phenomena while under its influence. Normally, Ki is the result of three energies: Genki, Yuki, and Shoki and while this fact remains true, it's also changed. The fundamental energy known as Yūki is produced by one's Soul, Shōki is created by one's mind/consciences while Genki is the result of one's a body/well-being. When these subatomic energies meet they create the energy force known as Ki.
When under the effects of Law these energies share a parallel to atoms. Yuki can be viewed as the energy equivalent to Neutrons, Shoki as an Electron and Genki as a Proton while Ki as an Atom. These parallels limit the capability of Ki while also opening up a new world to their user.
Magic
Magic is most known through out the multiverse as being the most time-altering between itself and Ki. Here though its given limitations.
Within the Alterverse Magic is first created a force released by the non-living, not the dead or the undead but those that never experienced life. A simple example of this are oceans, mountain, and even planets. These were never alive to begin with and thus become the conductor of an energy known as Cosmic Energy. Cosmic Energy alone isn't Magic, only when properly filtered through a living being does it become true Magic.
Unlike Ki, Magic isn't stored in the soul of its user, rather its hidden away in a pocket dimension known as a Personal Dimension. This is a meta physical plane of existence where the user draws upon their Magic. The creator can spiritually enter this place during mediation but it can also be accessed physically if you know where to find it and how to access it.
Magic can be though of as a parallel to photons (Light). By understanding this correlation a Magic user can bring out their full potential.
Time
Time is a powerful force but even it obeys the power of LAW. When under the effects of LAW, time can no longer be tampered with on a major scale. Time related abilities such as ones that either stop or reverse time are nullified when under LAW. However, abilities that only slow down time within an set space can function to a degree. While they do initially work LAW will correct the time manipulation by either speeding back up or slowing back down time depending on how it was altered. Additionally, time travel through the likes of a Time Machine don't work either.
Dimensions with a faster or slower rate of time , such as the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, aren't effected by LAW as it still conforms to its rules.

Pillars
While normally this mysterious force is self-contained within this universe there is a person that can spread its influence, that being is the physical manifestation of the Alterverse itself. They are Pillars. The main objective of a Pillar is to correct any distortion to space-time, to them, there is neither good nor evil only the correction of that distortion.
While time travel within the Alterverse is impossible, one can still travel to the Alterverse via Time Manipulation, however, they're unable to leave the same way as they came. Pillars on the other hand are the only beings within the Alterverse that can exit and enter it's space-time at will.
Contents and Structure
Macrocosms'
Within the Alterverse there exists two seperate planes of existence; The Divine Macrocosm and The Celestial Macrocosm. The Divine Macrocosm is governed by the Angles and the Gods in a system known as the Divine Hierarchy. The Celestial Macrocosm on the other hand is governed by the Ryūshin in the system known as the Celestial Hierarchy. Each plane of existence possesses a primary energy source. For the divine that would by Ki and for the celestial that would be Magic.
