Chapter 21: Chapter 21: The Door.
Chapter 21: The Door.
(An: Bear with me, everyone. This chapter contains numerous descriptions and skills. It took considerable time to extract these from the light novel. I aim to conclude the world introduction in this chapter and start the action in the next one.)
The moment Huo Yuhao opened the door, he was greeted by a floating black window with golden text on it.
(An: For the nth time, this is not a system.)
[Skill [Appraisal] has been acquired.]
[Skill [Endurance] has been acquired.]
[Title [Master of the Door] has been acquired.]
[Title [Master of the House] has been acquired.]
[Title [Otherworlder] has been acquired.]
[Title [Person Who Visited a Different World for the First Time] has been acquired.]
'Yup, I expected it,' Yuhao remarked as he observed the screen.
'Oh, that is so cool, Yuhao! It looks like a game screen. The energy here is much denser than in the normal world and your previous world,' said the tuna excitedly.
'Yeah, the primary energy here is Mana, which, as far as I know, is vastly different from Honkai and soul energy,' Yuhao replied, recalling the contents of the original novel.
'True, it's not as dense as Honkai energy, but it's a lot denser than the soul energy you use in your world (Douluo Dalu). We can start training here,' the tuna said, beginning to create a training regime for Yuhao.
'Yeah, and the equipment and resources in this house are OP—you'll know when you see them,' Yuhao responded.
He focused his attention on the window that appeared in front of him. He had gained two skills and four titles just from opening the door to Argena, and the effects spoke for themselves.
[Skill [Appraisal]: A skill to appraise various objects.]
[Skill [Endurance]: Grants resistance to abnormal states, mental interference, and physical stress.]
[Title [Master of the Door]: The master of the door leading to another world. You can use the menu function.]
[Title [Master of the House]: The new master of the house where a wise man is said to have once lived. You have obtained ownership of this house.]
[Title [Otherworlder]: A person from another world. You will receive a special growth boost, allowing you to gain more experience than normal. Learning skills will also be easier, and the level cap has been removed.]
[Title [Person Who Visited a Different World for the First Time]: A unique title that makes it easier for you to invent skills and magic compared to similar titles like [Pioneer]. Your growth will proceed in an ideal direction. Additionally, you can use [Item Box].]
'Kukuku, this world is broken. I pat myself on the back for choosing it.' Yuhao laughed his signature evil villain laugh, scaring the cute tuna living in the stigma space.
Huo Yuhao summoned the [Item Box], which appeared as a window in space, allowing him to store items within it.
'I'm definitely upgrading that—it looks ugly. I've been holding off on asking Ellie for any space-related skills.'
'In the future, I'll be able to use the powers of the [Herrscher of the Void] under Kiana's training. The [Herrscher of the Void] has authority over the imaginary space, making any other space-related skill obsolete, in a sense.'
'I'll try to upgrade this [Item Box] into a treasury-like space, similar to a certain blond, narcissistic king of heroes.' He made a mental note as he closed the [Item Box].
'Now, let's see. The menu function of the door.' Yuhao focused on the menu function on the window, and a new description appeared.
[Door to Another World]
[Owner]: Huo Yuhao.
[Functions]: [Money Conversion], [Transfer], [Entry Restriction].
'Kukukuku, I feel like an evil capitalist. I can already imagine the scene of swimming in a pool of money writing itself,' Yuhao thought, his facial expression resembling one of the greatest estate developers.
Kiana just looked at him and then blocked the view in the stigma space.
'Let's see,' he thought as he checked the description of the new skills.
[Skill [Money Conversion]: Everything can be converted into money.]
[Skill [Transfer]: The door can be summoned to the owner's current location at any time.]
[Skill [Entry Restriction]: Only those specified by the owner can pass through the door.]
'Anything, you say? Well, I have another reason to start hunting evil soul masters. After all, money is essential for developing an organization, and here's the perfect resource for this skill, kukukuku,' Yuhao thought, already imagining himself swimming in a sea of gold.
'Yuhao, stop laughing like that—it's scary,' Kiana said in a threatening tone, unable to take it anymore.
Hearing her threat, he coughed a little and composed himself again.
'I think that should be it for skills, right?' Yuhao wondered, and just as he was about to head to the room with all the weapons, another window appeared.
[Title [The First [Class Holder] to Appear in the World] has been acquired.]
'Okay, this is new. That didn't happen in the original novel, so I don't know the effect of this title,' Yuhao thought as he began checking the title's effects.
[Title [The First [Class Holder] to Appear in the World]: ???]
'Hmm, since I'm the first [Class Holder] to ever appear in the world, the world itself doesn't know how to approach this title. Argena, the world's consciousness, simply can't figure out an effect for this title. Maybe in the future.' Yuhao pondered as he made his way towards the arsenal room.
'I remember the sage who lived in this house made some OP weapons. Granted, they aren't at the level of divine keys, but they're still good weapons,' Yuhao thought as he entered the arsenal.
'Hmm, I have two appraisal skills: this normal [Appraisal] and [Great Sage]'s [Analytical Appraisal]. I'm going to find a way to merge them—I hate duplicate skills,' Yuhao thought as he inspected the weapons in the room.
[Omni-Sword]: The pinnacle of all swords. The blade remains shiny without tarnishing, and the edge is always perfectly sharp. It's said to be capable of cutting anything, but that depends on the contractor. Not for sale. Contractor: Huo Yuhao.
[Death Scythe]: A scythe that could even kill the God of Death. It is said to be capable of cutting anything the contractor wants. Any existence cut by this scythe, no matter how small, will suffer a fatal wound. Not for sale. Contractor: Huo Yuhao.
[Infinity Gauntlet]: Not only does this increase striking power, but it can also be used for protection. One blow is equal to infinite attacks. Not for sale. Contractor: Huo Yuhao.
(An: Not the one from Marvel, chill guys.)
[Formless Bow]: The ultimate bow without physical form. Depending on the contractor's will, it can produce an infinite number of arrows. The arrows are said to be capable of shooting through the world. They will absolutely hit whatever target the contractor desires. Not for sale. Contractor: Huo Yuhao.
'As strong as these weapons are, their descriptions are just…' he paused for a moment.
'Chunni?' the cute tuna finished his sentence.
'Yeah, I feel like I'm going to die of embarrassment,' he said, blushing from secondhand embarrassment while reading the descriptions.
Finally:
[Absolute Spear]: The one and only spear that exceeds the Divine Spear. It's said that this spear can pierce anything, depending on the contractor. This spear can't be broken. If you throw it, it will always hit the target and return to your hand. Not for sale. Contractor: Huo Yuhao.
'Oh yeah, baby. My dream of becoming a lucky lancer is achievable,' he thought as he easily carried the spear and twirled it, feeling the effects of the [Schariac] bloodline.
[Skill [Spearmanship Level 1] has been acquired.]
[Skill [Spearmanship Level 1]: A skill that allows you to proficiently wield spears, lances, staffs, etc.]
'This is bullshit,' cursed the tuna from the stigma space—and rightfully so. While others may train their whole lives to reach basic proficiency with spears, Yuhao achieved it just by touching the spear and twirling it around.
'Hell yes. I'm going to be the luckiest lancer to ever live, hahaha,' exclaimed the blond boy as he effortlessly twirled the spear.
He played with it for a while, then focused on the other weapons, with the result being:
[Skill [Swordsmanship Level 1] has been acquired.]
[Skill [Scythe Technique Level 1] has been acquired.]
[Skill [Hand-to-Hand Combat Technique Level 1] has been acquired.]
[Skill [Archery Level 1] has been acquired.]
And so on.
When he finished acquiring all these skills, another notification window appeared.
[You have met the required condition. Integrating all martial arts skills together.]
[You have acquired the skill [True Martial Art: 1].]
[Skill [True Martial Art]: A state that can only be reached by those who have learned all weapon and hand-to-hand combat arts. You can master all weapons and hand-to-hand combat.]
"Yuhao, I'm going to train you so hard that you won't be able to walk the next morning," the tuna said with a tone full of malicious intent. It seemed like the tuna was jealous—and who wouldn't be when this cheater got all of that just by touching and playing with weapons?
Hearing her tone, full of malicious intent, reminded him of a certain Doom Slayer, and he started sweating bullets. He decided to stop playing around and stored all the weapons in the [Item Box] except for the spear, which he placed on his shoulder like a certain spearman in a blue combat suit, then exited the room.
He looked at the letter on a coffee table in the middle of the living room. Of course, he didn't know the language used to write it, but that wasn't a problem the title [Person Who Visited a Different World for the First Time] couldn't handle, and this was proven true since:
[Skill [Language Comprehension] has been acquired.]
[Skill [Language Comprehension]: A skill that grants the ability to read and write in any language.]
[Skill [Fast Reading] has been acquired.]
[Skill [Fast Reading]: A skill that allows you to read quickly while retaining information.]
The moment Kiana saw the description of that skill, her eyes lost their color, and she lay down on the floor with noodle tears streaming from them.
"It's not fair at all. I spent hours studying in school, and he just acquired skills to basically ace all exams. I call hax," said the tuna in a tone that suggested she felt wronged—a reaction that was quite hilarious considering she herself was a hax character.
"What can I say, Ms. Herrscher? I'm just built different," Yuhao replied, receiving only a snort from the tuna.
'Hehe, man, I love cheating so much. After all, there's a reason this novel had the word "cheat" in its title.'
The letter itself was nothing special. It was written by the original owner of the house, the wise man Zenovis, who created all these weapons.
Since Zenovis had no remaining family members or children, he decided that whoever found the house would gain ownership of it along with everything inside.
'Hmm, well, all of this should have belonged to the original protagonist, but now it's mine. Rest easy, Zenovis. It might be true that I came here to make use of the resources and recruit talented people, but I'll try my best to save this world from its imminent [Doom],' Yuhao thought as he disintegrated the letter with [Corrupt Light].
'Well, time to see the back garden. The herbs and plants there are one of the reasons I chose this world, after all.'
(Chapter 21 finished.)

An:
Oh boy, this chapter is about 2.1k words without the author's note.
I tried to introduce this world a bit in this chapter and explain why I chose it. As you can see, gaining skills, amazing weapons, and resources here is super easy.
This world has so much potential, and I plan to develop it quite a bit, so stay tuned for more. Also, if we reach 20 reviews, I'll upload the next chapter in a couple of hours.
Anyhow, don't forget to comment on memes, share your thoughts, and most importantly, post waifu pics.
That's all for now.
Bye.
