Sigh~ Wang Lei looked at his status. After doing ahem* research with Qingyue, he got her Nine Profound Equisetic Body with her vital Yin that helped him break into sky profound. But what surprised him was her Nine Profound Equisetic Body which created a little world inside him where he could store Primordial Energy and use it in case of emergency. But when he tried using it, the system found that it could be updated. According to the Yue (System AI), he had cleared the condition for its Evolution. He accepted it and it was updated into skill called <Hikikomori: My World>.
***
<Hikikomori: My World>
<A skill that lets the user create a mini-universe, which can be used as a base for the user. Users can control all kinds of forces and concepts in this Universe. Anything can be brought from outside, at the same time anything can be brought from inside.
Current Size: Blue Polar Star>
***
In short, he has his own space or world where he can create anything. But he couldn't create a living being. He tried and ended up creating a human body without any soul. Then he found out that he didn't have any understanding of souls, to create them. So he created the Immortal alchemy garden that he always wanted to create and controlled the time and made it faster so he can get any immortal medicine he wanted at any time.
Wang Lei looked around him and found out that he was in a dark room but that didn't bother him as he could see everything inside. What confused him was that he could see his body was bounded with chains. He was sitting on an iron chair with which his body was bounded with chains. He looked up and saw an iron door, tightly shut. He understood that he was probably in some kind of jail or something and was captured. He remembered what happened about half an hour ago.

Wang Lei was standing in the throne room of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon with Qingyue. He looked at her who was nervously looking at him.
"It will be alright! You don't have to worry! Are you ready?" Wang Lei asked.
Qingyue, though nervous, nodded. Wang Lei smiled. He was going to do his first world travel. He took a deep breath and said.
'Yue, start the world transfer process.'
'Yes, master! Which world would you like to go?'
'Arifureta: From commonplace to another World!'
'Would you like to reincarnate or transmigrate to that world, master?'
'Transmigrate!'
'You can select the timeline and time ratio at which you want to transfer, master! The minimum time ration can be a month. Mean you can spend, no matter how long in another world, only a month will have spent in the ATG world. Maximum can be 3 years!'
Hearing her, Wang Lei thought that there was nothing noteworthy happening this year. He has given Cang Yue Soaring Immortal Physique from the world pure. She will be cultivating this physique from now on. He has also changed her energy to Primordial Energy. He wanted to take her and but she needed to become strong enough to follow him so he left her. So he selected a timeline to a year just before Qingyue's 16th birthday.
'Your identities will be automatically selected, master! You will transfer to the location which matches your identity so please be careful!'
Wang Lei nodded and started to transfer process. A light wrapped Qingyue and Wang Lei as they disappear from the world!
***
'What is going on Yue?' Wang Lei asked, confused.
'It is because of your identity master! You will soon get the memories of this world's identity'
Wang Lei who heard her sighed. He wondered what his identity was in this world that made him prisoned. He looked at the chains as a red fire started to emerge from his body, melting the chain in its wake. He stood up as the cracking of bones could be heard. He wondered how long he has been locked up. He took a deep breath as memories about his identity started to emerge in his mind. He waited for some time to sort it out and was surprised.
According to the memories he received, he was an orphan that was born with supernatural abilities to manipulate fire at will. When he was a child he had hidden his abilities but as he grew up he couldn't control his powers. One day when he was coming back from his class he saw some people kidnapping a girl. Trying to save that girl, he ended up using his powers. Though the girl was unconscious just after he saved her he was caught in the camera. When the government found out, they captured him from experiments to find out the reason behind his powers and that's how he ended up in this jail.
Wang Lei sighed. 'couldn't it be more… normal?'
'Identities are chosen randomly, master!' Yue said.
'Also I don't think we are in Tortus, why is that?'
'This IS the world of Arifureta master! Tortus is one of the parallel universes of this world! You have to go there on your own. System job is to send you to the MAIN world of the other world and not to the parallel world.'
Wang Lei understood what she meant by it. He nodded and tried to connect with Qingyue.
'Yue'er can you hear me? Are you all alright? Where are you?'
'I am, brother! I am in a place called Tokyo and am a transfer student in a high school. I am standing in front of the gate of the school!'
Wang Lei who heard her was thinking about how she got such a normal background and not him. He thought for a while then said.
'Wait for me. I will be there in half an hour, ok?'
'Yes, brother!'
Nodded Wang Lei looked at the closed doors. 'Well let me show these mongrels the wrath of this emperor.'
<Sword of Damocles: Red>
Outside, above in the sky, a big sword appeared. Hovering above the prison giving one the feeling of dread. It was the sword of the King of the Red Clan. It was a sword with an irregular blade that bend near the tip of the blade and porous near the hilt. The crossguard has a red orb in the middle with the guard protruding to the side. It also has a swirl like a shape as a grip.
SFX: Sound of Alarm/ Siren
"Hurry! Subject No. 0 is trying to escape! Deploy the forces!! Shut down all the entrances!"
An officer shouted. Soldiers were moving when they all heard the voice that sent them to the depth of the abyss.
"Ignorant mortals, let this King show thee' despair!"
And with that their world was exploded in majestic red flames!

Qingyue was standing in front of the school's gate. She was curious about this world of mortals. Lots of people were gathered around her, stunned by the beauty of Qingyue. They couldn't believe that someone this beautiful exited in this world. They were wondering whether she was a cosplayer with her ancient Chinese robes. Qingyue was in dilemma. Her brother has told her not to use her powers on the mortals as they may die-no they will die. She was wondering whether she should use her powers or not when she heard a voice from her behind.
"Excuse me, are you alright? Do you need help?"
Qingyue looked back and saw a beautiful woman with brown eyes and long black hair that reaches her waist. Qingyue shook her head.
"No, I am waiting for my brother!" Qingyue said.
The girl, Kaori Shirasaki, was mesmerized and charmed when she heard Qingyue's voice. She thought she was hearing the most beautiful melody in the world. Coming out of her stupor, she nodded.
"Is your brother in this school? And are you cosplaying?" Kaori asked looking at her clothing.
Qingyue who heard her was confused by the word cosplay. This was the first time she has heard this word.
Slightly shaking her head Qingyue said. "No, my brother is not in this school. He will be here to pick me. And what is cosplay?"
Kaori was startled that Qingyue didn't know what cosplay was even tho' she was wearing one.
"Cosplay is one when you dress as a character of any movie, cartoon, or anime stuff. You are wearing one, right?" Kaori asked, making a thinking face.
Qingyue was confused, again. Shaking her head, she said. "No, this is my normal wear!" she was wearing Asgards disciples robe. She thought the reason Kaori was confused was probably as there was no cultivator in this world.
Just as they were talking, they heard the voice of a man.
"Good morning, Kaori! You never told us that you had such a beautiful friend!"
Qingyue looked towards where the sound came and saw a boy of 17 years with silky brown hair and gentle eyes. His body is toned and slender at about 180 centimeters. Her appearance changed to that of emotionless beauty. She didn't have a problem talking with other women but boys and men were off-limits to her. If the person was not an acquaintance or close friend of her brother, then she didn't like a male company other than her brother around her.
"Kouki! No, she is not! I just met her!" Kaori said.
Kouki hearing her nodded and smiled towards Qingyue. He was stunned by her beauty. He felt strange emotions bereaving inside his heart and asked. "Then what is the name of this beauty?"
Qingyue ignored him. she has seen many men trying to court her and she finds it disgusting. Only her brother can call her beauty!!
Shizuku seeing Qingyue nudged Kouki. "Stop bothering others, Kouki! Let's go or we will be late for the class!" Shizuku was a beautiful woman with red-colored eyes and long black hair that was tied up in a ponytail.
Kouki who heard her wanted to say something but was pushed by her, "Let's go!" He could only sigh and follow her but not before giving Qingyue another glance.
After the Kouki group left, Kaori also left. Qingyue was also about to move as she was getting annoyed with all these people gather around her, she heard a voice that beamed her face.
"Did you wait for me, Yue'er?"
"Brother!" Qingyue who heard him looked towards him and smiled.
Seeing her smile people around her were stupefied.
Wang Lei smiled and hugged her. He took her hand and said, "Let's go! It's almost time for the portal to emerge!"
Qingyue nodded and happily followed him.

"You should get a life, Nagumo(Hajime)!" Hiyama said, making a mocking face.
Hajime Nagumo who heard him had a troubled expression. He was not good at dealing with Hiyama. He could only stay silent and ignore him.
"OI! Don't ignore me!" Hiyama said, making an annoyed face.
"Don't bully Nagumo-Kun, Daisuke-san!" Kaori said, with hands-on her hip.
"I was not bulling him, Sirasaki-san! I was trying to advise him!" Hiyama said, making a face as if he was wronged.
"Is that right, Nagumo-Kun?" Kaori asked.
Others were looking towards Hajime with annoyance and jealousy.
"You are kind to everyone, Kaori!" Kouki said, oblivious to the situation and interpreting the situation as he liked.
Shizuku could only shake her head at her childhood friend's dumbness.
"Yah! You should not be that worried about this sore loser, Kaori!" Ryutarou said while cleaning his ears with his pinky. He had a physique that is like a bear and he stands tall at about 190 cm. He had short trimmed hair and a gaze that appears both cheerful and stern.
Nagumo, the center of all this was sweating hard. He just wanted to spend his time calmly and peacefully but it was a total mess now.
"Sit down everyone class is about to start!" Aiko Hatayama said. She was a petite woman with dark brown hair and eyes. She was the homeroom teacher of this class.
"Ai-chan-sensei, good morning!" Suzu Taniguchi said, cheerily. Suzu was a very short girl with short hair styled into twin-tails that reaches her shoulders and had light brown eyes.
"Moo~ don't call me that, Suzu-san!" Aiko said, pouting.
"Hahaha!" The whole class was laughing as to how cute she looked.
SFX: Sound of a door sliding
They all looked towards the door and were stunned by the sight they saw. Only one word could describe what they were Seeing-Otherworldly! They saw a boy and a girl, both in their teens, standing at the door. The girl was wearing an ice-colored robe, she looked like a character out of an anime while the boy was wearing a black shirt and pants with black joggers and a long coat that reached his knees. They saw as the boy started to talk with the girl.
"I can feel the interference of energy in this place. The portal will open here!" Wang Lei said, looking around in the class. He checking everyone's faces when his gaze landed on a boy that had black hair, brown eyes, and a slim body type with a kind face. 'Isn't he the protagonist of this world!? Seems like we are in the right place!'
Qingyue who heard him nodded and also tried to feel energy fluctuations. They were training in Primordial Energy that existed before any other energy, so they could pretty much feel any kind of energy fluctuations and use any art. Ever since she has come in this world, she could feel that Primordial energy was many times thicker here than on Blue Polar Star. It increased their cultivation many times faster. But she couldn't feel any profound energy in this world but instead another energy that was different then profound energy.
"Did you feel it?" Wang Lei asked, smiling.
Nodding, Qingyue answered. "I do! But it's different than the profound energy!"
"it is! This energy is called Mana." Wang Lei said, patting her head that Qingyue enjoyed to fullest.
Aiko who was stunned by the sudden appearance of this couple came to herself. "Who are you? You can't enter classes like that without permission!"
"I am sorry to disturb you, little girl! But we are here for the portal! Once it opens we shall leave!" Wang Lei said, smiling while gently patting her head.
Aiko who had her head patted, a blush crept on her face. She pouted and said, "Moo~ I am not little! I am 25 years!"
"You are still little to me!" Wang Lei said. For some reason, he like this little girl.
Kaori looked towards Qingyue and asked, "What do you mean by a portal? Are you cosplaying something?" Others also nodded at her question since they thought the same.
Qingyue who heard her didn't know what to answer.
"No, we are not cosplaying, little Kaori. It's just that a portal to a parallel world will be opening here, we are here for that!"
Kaori looked towards Wang Lei, "Do I know you?"
"You don't, but I do! Anyways, if you don't want to get transported to another dimension then you should leave this classroom!" Wang Lei said, smiling with his hand on the chin.
"Stop joking! Do you think we will believe that?" Kouki said. Ever since he saw Qingyue standing beside Wang Lei he was soured.
Wang Lei ignored him as he could feel the portal being open.
"Oi! I am talking to you!" Kouki who was ignored said when a large magic circle formed below their feet.
"What is this?!" everyone, surprised look on the floor where they could see a large magic circle like one in anime.
Hajime who saw this had a bad hunch. He looked towards Wang Lei and saw that he was curiously looking at the circle. Just as he was about to ask something, he felt his vision blurred and by the time he realizes, he was standing in a different place.
"What is going on?! Where are we?!" someone shouted that made everyone realized that they were, indeed, not in their classroom anymore.
"Everyone calm down! Is there anyone injured!" Kouki shouted trying to calm them down. Kaori also helped them to calm them.
Shizuku was stunned, but what more stunned her was Wang Lei. She couldn't believe her eyes. 'I finally found him! He is alive!'
"Shizuku, are you all right?" Kaori asked, worriedly seeing her friend silently standing.
Shizuku who heard her nodded and realized that they were in a different place.
"Welcome, chosen heroes of Ehit! Welcome to Tortus!" a man over 70 years old said. He had many wrinkles and long white hair. If it were not for his wrinkled face, one could say it was over 50 years.
Everyone who heard him looked towards him with caution. "Who are you? And where we are?" Kouki said in a demanding manner.
"I have been waiting for your arrival! I am pope of the church of saints, Ishtar Lombard! Preparation for your arrival has been completed! Please follow me! You will be explained everything!" Ishtar said, slightly bowing.
Others hearing him calmed down a little. They all looked towards Kouki, who after thinking nodded. Others also followed behind. Hajime, Kaori, and Shizuku looked towards Wang Lei and Qingyue. They were sure that these two know something since they were talking about the parallel universe and portal before. Eri Nakamura also looked towards them but didn't said anything and quietly followed behind others.
Wang Lei also followed behind them with Qingyue. His attention was on the system right now.
[Ding! A New Power system has been discovered!]
[Ding! All information about the world's power system has been downloaded!]
[Ding! The system shall go on a reboot now!]
'What is going on, Yue?' Wang Lei asked but he didn't get any answer.
[Starting reboot!3… 2… 1!... Initializing new system value!... system is rebooted! Starting the system!]
[Ding! The evolution factor of the host's ability <Ark of Embodiment> is found! Would the host like to start the Evolution? Y/N]
Wang Lei who hear it was surprised he clicked on yes and felt a different kind of information being sent to his brain and consciousness.
[Ding! Ability <Ark of Embodiment> after merging with host Authority Origin has evolved into <Word Magic>!]
<Word Magic: Anything user says or writes, with Energy bounded, shall become reality
Warning: Users be aware as this ability can bend reality itself! Be cautious when use! This ability is depended on the user's energy>
Wang Lei was stunned. He never thought that coming to this world will bring him so many benefits.
