The warmth of the sun illuminates the clear blue sky, casting light through the window into a room that is considered luxurious.
Riegel is sitting on an expensive-looking large bed, half of his body covered with a blanket. His face appears somewhat pale, but he seems enthusiastic, as if recovering from a serious illness.
Beside the bed, someone is standing there.
It's a priest.
"It seems like you're in high spirits today, Riegel."
The priest holds a notebook in one hand and a quill in the other. He observes Riegel with a measuring gaze, giving a friendly expression to Riegel.
"Is that so?" Riegel seems oblivious to the priest's scrutiny. He nods under the priest's watchful eye and says, "I feel much better today. There shouldn't be any problem getting out of bed."
"That's good." The priest says. "Riegel's recovery is much faster than I expected. Although we need to be cautious, if there are no accidents, you'll be able to get out of bed and move around soon."
The priest uses the quill to bind the book, noting something on parchment. Strange and mysterious words resembling special symbols are quickly written on the parchment by the priest, drawing a bit of Riegel's attention.
Upon closer inspection, he would notice that similar symbols are not only on the parchment but also on the priest.
The priest wears a robe adorned with gold, and these symbols are painted in every corner of the robe, making the priest look mysterious and intellectually inexplicable.
"To be conservative, I should use magic to examine you." The priest says warmly. "In that case, I'll ask for your permission."
The priest sets aside the parchment and quill, raising his hand to Riegel's chest.
Soon after, unintelligible chants escape the priest's mouth.
Dim but gentle light suddenly radiates from the priest's hand.
Next, Riegel clearly feels his body gradually warming up.
It's like an invisible warm current flowing into his body. Riegel feels as if he's immersed in an unseen warm water. Not only does his body become warmer, but his spirits also improve.
After a while, the priest stops his movements and withdraws his hand.
"Um, your body has fully recovered, and all previous injuries have been healed. You'll stay in bed for one more day today and then get up and move from tomorrow."
The priest says this while looking into Riegel's body with a sympathy and affection that is hard to detect.
With such emotions, the priest hesitates for a moment and finally gives instructions.
"There's no serious issue with your body, but Riegel should refrain from using magic anymore." the priest wisely says. "The damage to your is quite severe, and magical power can no longer flow through at all. If you casually use magic, it could cause magical chaos."
The priest doesn't utter any more words.
However, Riegel still smiles faintly at the priest and says, "I understand my situation and won't take it lightly."
"That's good." The priest then smiles faintly and says, "I'll leave now. The lady should come to see you later. Please be patient for now and stay in bed."
After giving some more instructions, the priest leaves calmly.
Riegel suddenly becomes the only one left in the room, sitting alone on the bed, silent for a while.
"Sigh."
After a few seconds, Riegel unconsciously sighs.
"Magic?"
Riegel murmurs to himself, looking at his slightly whiter and much younger hands than he remembers.
"Even if you allow me to use it, I might not be able to because of some reason."
Again, in the era and world where Riegel lives, what is called "magic" is just a concept in fantasy and doesn't exist at all.
But in this world, it seems to be something commonplace.
Riegel can't help but recall what happened a month ago.
Recalling what happened when he woke up and found himself in a strange world, when he saw "miracles" for the first time.
The surprise, confusion, and wonder at that moment seem to have happened a long time ago.
At least now, Riegel fully accepts that he has journeyed to this world.
After this month, Riegel also understands the world's situation.
In short, it is a world of swords and magic, a different world where extraordinary powers and mysterious forces exist.
A month ago, Riegel came to this world and acquired a new identity.
The original owner of this identity was a native resident of this world and had the same name as Riegel.
The difference is, he was a modern young man with the surname Li and full name Li Ge, while the original owner was different.
The original owner's full name was Riegel Brehaut, and this year he just turned 17. Compared to Li Ge, who was almost 30 in his previous life, he was undoubtedly much younger.
However, perhaps precisely because of his youth, the original owner's fate was taken over by Li Ge.
*Knock Knock*
Just when Riegel can't help but remember, there is a sudden knock on the door.
"Riegel, are you awake?"
Outside the door, a voice as light as the wind and as clear as water is heard, dispersing Riegel's thoughts.
"I'm awake." Riegel regains awareness and says, "Come in."
As soon as he finishes speaking, the door opens.
Appearing outside the door is a girl about Riegel's age.
The girl is wearing a more comfortable dress for movement. She exudes a noble temperament throughout her body. She has a delicate appearance and a slender figure. Bright silver hair down to her waist adorns her body, looking not at all unusual but adding more color. The extra sense of nobility and elegance gives a very pleasant feeling to people in every movement.
She has just entered through the door very naturally, like this, she shows an indescribable beauty, making Riegel, who is already accustomed, have the urge to exclaim.
Of course, Riegel doesn't do this.
Seeing the girl walking slowly towards him, Riegel still has a faint smile on his face.
"You're here again, Miss Yuri."
Yuri Franzel.
This is the name of the girl and benefactor who saved Riegel's life and brought him here.
At least, for Riegel, the girl is just an existence.
If it were the original owner, he might be too nervous to say anything when he saw this person.
Unfortunately, Li Ge is not Riegel. Even if he knew from the memories of the original owner how noble and unattainable the girl in front of him was, he only felt grateful.
In response, Yuri shakes her head and says, "Just call me Yuri, no need to be formal."
The girl's voice is the same as when she was outside the door, light as the wind, clear as water, and very pleasant to hear.
Riegel even roughly thinks that with this voice alone, it's a pity if the girl doesn't sing.
"Seeing you, it seems you're almost recovered." Yuri sits beside Riegel's bed and observes him while saying, "How are you? Can you get out of bed?"
Riegel also answers politely, "Thank you for your concern, Miss Yuri. Sooner or later, I'll repay this kindness."
"I told you, no need to be polite." Yuri sighs lightly and says, "Your current situation has become like this, and I can't say it's unrelated to that. I'm not used to being so polite now. Why don't you just act like you did at the beginning?"
Maybe she's thinking about that time. Yuri's mood seems to have improved inexplicably.
This makes Riegel slightly silent.
His attitude at that time was not good at all.
Unlikely. At that time, Riegel had just traveled to this world. As soon as he opened his eyes, he was lying in bed with severe pain and serious injuries. A girl stood beside him. His natural first reaction was full of hostility and caution.
If he didn't realize that something bad happened to him later, Riegel almost thought he had encountered another dirty conspiracy and some people wanted to harm him.
Some memories of his past life flowed, making Riegel's heart slightly twitch.
"Thinking carefully, the situation I encountered in this world seems not much different." Riegel laughs at himself in his heart.
Yuri, unaware of what Riegel is thinking, sees him suddenly silent, and she doesn't know whether he intentionally changed the topic or not.
"Is there still no way to fix your ?"
It's clear that the topic has been changed, but the issue Yuri mentioned, to some extent, is more sensitive than the previous topic.
"No." Riegel looks calm as usual and says calmly, "It seems completely damaged, with no signs of recovery. I was just told not to use magic."
"Really?" Yuri seems a bit regretful.
In this world, whether or not one can use magic will directly determine a person's social status.
To use magic, the first prerequisite is that you must have a certain amount of magical power.
Magic is the fuel for magic.
Without magic, you can't use magic.
Fortunately, people in this world are born with magical power. The only difference is that some have more magic and some have less. Some have enough to use magic, and some do not.
The so-called refers to a kind of magical nerve in the human body, which is a switch and channel, and also a storage for magic and the source of magic.
After the is damaged, it will be difficult to use magical power, and at worst, the stored magical power inside it will be completely lost.
Riegel's is damaged.
He was beaten and destroyed throughout his life.
"Did you find out?" Riegel asks calmly, "Who planned to kill me?"
This is the reason why Riegel appeared here.
He, or it can be said the original owner, was killed exactly a month ago, suffered severe injuries, and ultimately did not survive.
As a result, Li Ge traveled through time and was saved by Yuri. He recovered in this grand house.
It lasted for a full month.

Ninety-nine times out of a hundred, time travel phenomena occur because the protagonist is captivated.
Riegel is no exception.
On the first day he came to this world, Riegel found a transparent Magic Cube – the "Dimensional Magic Cube."
It could only exist in his mind and couldn't be taken out or investigated. No one except Riegel could detect its presence.
The Dimensional Magic Cube's function, as its name implies, is related to dimensions.
[—Dimensional Magic Cube Usage Guide—]
[1: The Dimensional Magic Cube can automatically absorb energy present in its dimension. Once a month, it can randomly open a dimensional channel and travel through dimensions.]
[2: The Dimensional Magic Cube has the ability to alter the power of different dimensions. It can be opened and used at any time.]
[3: The Dimensional Magic Cube has an internal storage space that can be opened and used at any time.]
[4: When opening a dimensional corridor in a designated world, ten times its energy is consumed.]
[5: When carrying items for dimensional travel, you need to consume energy corresponding to the value of those items.]
[6: The time limit for travel in each dimension is one day in the original world.]
[7:...]
Riegel had learned all the instructions and usage methods a month ago when he first came into contact with the Dimensional Magic Cube.
This is also why Riegel has been calm since coming to this world.
Even if he knows that his is completely damaged, and he can't use magic, and someone is secretly watching his life, Riegel can stabilize his mentality by relying on this mysterious Dimensional Magic Cube.
Of course, even without the Dimensional Magic Cube, Riegel wouldn't panic, let alone sit idly waiting for death.
He's used to being on his own. He's accustomed to having no one to rely on, especially now that he has the Golden Finger to assist him.
Now—
"All wounds have healed, and I've been lying in bed for a whole month. Can I use the Dimensional Magic Cube for random dimensional travel once a month?"
Anyway, both Yuri and the priest let him lie down for another day, so let him make the most of today.
Currently, Riegel lies with closed eyes, and his consciousness begins to operate the Dimensional Magic Cube.
"Activate the dimensional channel."
As Riegel's consciousness sends instructions to the Dimensional Magic Cube, the transparent Magic Cube rotates in his mind.
[Received instructions and started activating the dimensional channel.]
"There is enough energy, and the dimensional channel begins construction."
"Successfully built."
Suddenly, the transparent Magic Cube in Riegel's mind moves.
First, it rotates one by one like a 3D animation, and then each grid detaches from the main body, unfolding into countless transparent grids, spinning and intertwining with each other.
After a while, the rotating and intertwining transparent network turns into a corridor, leading to the end of the ocean of consciousness and sinking into an invisible void.
[The dimensional channel opening is complete, and intel gathering is finished.]
[We have searched for information highly consistent with the world behind the tunnel in the user's memory, and we are sorting it now.]
[Successfully completed.]
[Connecting to the World: Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka?]
[Time Ratio: 1:100.]
"This dimensional journey is the arrival of consciousness, and the user's consciousness will materialize. The death of the conscious body after materialization will not affect the user, but this dimensional journey will officially end at the time of death. Users are advised to act cautiously."
Riegel's consciousness receives these messages from the Dimensional Magic Cube, making him stunned at that moment.
Of course, the reason Riegel was stunned at that moment was not for anything else.
Regardless of the form of dimensional travel or the difference in time ratios, when Riegel first came into contact with the Dimensional Magic Cube, he obtained relevant information from the guide on how to use the Dimensional Magic Cube.
Therefore, Riegel already knew about the difference in time ratios between the two worlds after dimensional travel, and he even knew about the advent of his own consciousness.
This is also the reason why Riegel considers the Dimensional Magic Cube as his supporter and doesn't rush from the beginning to the end.
Due to the different time proportions, even though dimensional travel only exists for one day, in another world, Riegel will be given enough time to explore and develop.
Because of the form of his consciousness, even if he dies during dimensional travel, he won't be affected; at most, it will be the end of this journey.
In this way, Riegel can rely on the different time ratios and a genuinely safe situation to seek strength in another world and find a way to resolve the crisis.
This is Riegel's plan.
However, Riegel didn't expect that the part opened by the Dimensional Magic Cube would eventually connect to such a world.
"Is this actually this world?"
Riegel is surprised on one side and shocked on the other.
What is unexpected is that the destination he reached through dimensions unexpectedly is not a strange world but a world he has seen and known before.
His surprise is also the current shock.
After all, even though Riegel can't say he knows everything about Danmachi, he still knows a lot of information, even what is called the plot.
In this way, Riegel can fully save time and effort in groping and get what he wants based on his understanding of the world.
This world indeed has what Riegel desires.
It is a fantasy world where all races live in harmony, mostly composed of humans and demi-humans.
There, humans are not the only primates; there are also races like dwarves, elves, Amazons, etc., and even entities like "gods."
To play in the human world, these "gods" left heaven without any entertainment, willingly sealed their divine powers, and came to the lower world where humans and half-humans reside. They gave people the power called to attract them to join the Familia they established.
"I remember that when you receive a god, you can gain experience points by defeating monsters, enemies, and opponents like in a game, thus improving abilities, leveling up, and becoming stronger."
Powers like this are undoubtedly perfect for Riegel, who currently doesn't have the time or energy to train slowly.
As long as he joins the God Familia and receives the god's blessing, Riegel will have the means to become stronger quickly.
Defeat enemies and become stronger.
Defeat monsters and become stronger.
Get stronger with a little training.
He can become stronger with experience points.
"This first dimensional travel of mine was made specifically for me."
Understanding this, Riegel unavoidably feels a little up and down in his heart, even though he's not too excited.
"Is the time ratio 1:100?"
In other words, one day in this world is equivalent to a hundred days in another world.
The time limit for dimensional travel is one day in the original world.
Based on the current time ratio, Riegel can stay in another world for a hundred days.
"If everything goes well in the last three and a half months, can I get out of my current difficulties?"
Riegel doesn't know this.
However, he has no choice.
Therefore, Riegel strengthened his resolve and explored the dimensional channel in his mind, allowing his consciousness to pass through the dimensional channel and enter another world.
Meanwhile, Riegel himself still lay in bed, soundly asleep.
From a third-person perspective, Riegel has just gone to sleep and is currently resting.
His consciousness has shifted to another world and is no longer in this world.
...
Time seems to have lost its meaning at this moment.
Riegel doesn't know how long he has been wandering in the dimensional corridor, let alone how long he has been out of the corridor.
He can only sense that he is like a ghost, floating lightly in an endless tunnel of light, seemingly flying for a very long time.
It's unclear how much time has passed before Riegel's eyes light up, and he suddenly feels a heavy sensation all over his body.
Not because his body suddenly became heavier, but the consciousness that initially had no weight suddenly appeared and became heavier again.
There is a grounding feeling beneath him.
There is an explosion of noise around.
Riegel opens his eyes almost reflexively, letting the scene in front of him come into view.
Immediately, he is astonished.
The charming streets of another world have just appeared before his eyes.
The streets with people coming and going are unlike any modern scene in Riegel's memory but are full of fantasy.
There are sturdy dwarves wearing weapons and armor, walking with strong and loud strides.
There are wild beasts and humanoid women with animal-like ears and tails, talking and laughing.
Elves with pointed ears and exceptionally beautiful appearances stroll on the streets, bathed in the admiration of others.
There are small children and brown-skinned girls chasing each other and playing.
The surrounding buildings resemble medieval houses, full of historical charm.
A fresh and colorful fantasy world unfolds before Riegel along with its bustling atmosphere, telling him that currently, he is standing on such a street and appearing in such a scene.
It is clear that he has just arrived in this world and just materialized, but Riegel's arrival doesn't attract anyone's attention on the street.
Whether they are human or Demi-Human, they all pass by Riegel very naturally, as if he has been on this street since the beginning, without feeling unfamiliar at all.
This may also be thanks to Riegel's current appearance.
The original world is a different world of swords and magic. The style of its time is not much different from this world, and so is its fashion. This makes Riegel not feel strange at all even though he is in this world; everything seems so natural.
After a long time, Riegel smiles.
For the first time, he laughs from the depths of his heart.
"Let's start with this world."
With these words in his mouth, Riegel takes a step forward.
