"Chen Zi, are you crazy?"
"Do you even know how hard it is to get that login qualification? That's a login qualification for a Fourth Order World, and you just handed it over to Liu Qingxia like that."
"Now look at you, you have no choice but to enter a random world like the students who didn't make the selection."
"I really think you've lost it."
Amidst a hazy consciousness, Jiang Chen heard a familiar voice beside him. Gradually, his consciousness returned, but when he finally saw the person in front of him, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"YY, why do you look so young?"
Jiang Chen asked in a strange tone, his expression filled with confusion. The person in front of him was his best friend from high school, Yue Yang. However, Yue Yang's bald head was nowhere to be seen; instead, he had a youthful face that was still covered in acne.
"What is all this 'YY' nonsense? Chen Zi, did you hear me? Hurry up and go to the administration office. Tell them that you were pressured into giving it up, and maybe there's still a chance. Otherwise, if you go in randomly, you'll be in big trouble."
Yue Yang sounded impatient, his expression filled with fear.
"Login? What login?"
Hearing Yue Yang's familiar yet youthful voice, Jiang Chen was even more confused. He instinctively glanced around, and what he saw made his pupils shrink in shock. He was no longer in his cramped room, but in a spacious classroom.
The familiar podium.
The familiar yet strangely distant sounds.
Boom!
Memories exploded in his mind. In an instant, countless memories flooded into Jiang Chen's mind, leaving him stunned.
While Jiang Chen was lost in thought, Yue Yang didn't notice and continued to push him.
"Chen Zi, I'm not joking with you. You know that the mortality rate for random logins is over seventy percent every year. If you go in, it's practically a death sentence."
"On the other hand, if you were to enter the Fourth Tier World of Shinobi, your survival rate would be over ninety percent. You're currently the lucky star of our class, and you have a second-level intelligence rating from the school. With that, you'd be able to quickly become a first-level extraordinary being."
"Hurry, or it'll be too late."
"Chen Zi! Chen Zi!"
As Yue Yang's increasingly worried voice rang out, he suddenly noticed that Jiang Chen seemed to be lost in thought. Frustrated, he shook him violently.
"Ah!"
The shaking jolted Jiang Chen awake, but his expression was one of utter confusion. He looked at Yue Yang and then at himself, completely unsure of how to react.
The overwhelming flood of memories finally made sense to Jiang Chen.
He had been reborn.
No, he had transmigrated.
He was now in a world identical to his previous life, but only in the past.
The difference was that this world wasn't rooted in materialism; it was a world with supernatural powers.
Three hundred years ago, the world underwent a massive transformation. Dimensional gates opened, giving humanity the ability to connect with and explore these dimensional worlds.
This opportunity to enter the various dimensional worlds was called the "Myriad Realms Login". At the age of sixteen, every high school student was given a chance.
What surprised Jiang Chen the most was that these dimensions were familiar to him - they were worlds inspired by the anime, movies, and novels of his past life.
For example, the dimensional world assigned to Daxia No. 8 School this year was called "Shinobi". With just a little bit of information, Jiang Chen could tell that it was definitely the world of 'Naruto'.
"Hey, Chen Zi, don't tell me that you don't want to get that back!"
"This isn't a joke."
"Hurry up!"
With his mouth open in shock, Jiang Chen was still processing this revelation. Meanwhile, Yue Yang's voice continued, even pulling Jiang Chen along with it, bringing him back to reality.
"Uh, I... I'm afraid it's already too late to take it back."
Looking at his best friend, Jiang Chen spoke with a hint of helplessness in his voice.
"Too late? You... you didn't bind it already, did you?"
"Yes," Jiang Chen nodded helplessly.
Now, with all the memories of his former self, he fully understood what was going on. His lips twitched slightly. Although this world was almost identical to the one he came from, with the same people and events, there was one major difference: this world and he himself were not the same.
In this world, he had a childhood friend named Liu Qingxia. His former self had given up everything for her. When he'd been exceptionally lucky enough to draw the entrance to the known world, the Ninja World (Naruto World), he'd even given it to Liu Qingxia.
This was a world of the fourth order, a rare opportunity even in Jiangnan or the capital of Daxia. Not only had his former self given it away, but he had also spent a year gathering information about the ''Ninja World (Naruto World)'' to help Liu Qingxia.
In this world, the login quota for a known world was limited, and the login quota for a world was only increased when a part of the world was "conquered".
Compared to unknown worlds, known worlds had more information, more opportunities, and a higher survival rate. Unknown worlds, on the other hand, were unpredictable.
No one knew what kind of world they would enter or what scenarios they would face. The mortality rate would be over ninety percent were it not for the fact that many of these worlds were relatively ordinary.
Although dying in a login world did not mean true death, it did mean losing the chance to enter login worlds again unless someone was willing to give you their access. Daxia officially gave each student only one login chance at the age of sixteen, and any further chances depended on one's own abilities.
Thus, whenever possible, people prefer to choose a known world to log in. To keep things fair, Daxia used a lottery system, controlled by an AI that prevented cheating, making it purely luck-based.
Once someone receives the login access, only a genuine voluntary transfer by the holder can give it to someone else. Forced transactions or transfers were forbidden; the AI detected such actions, and any violations were harshly punished by the federal authorities.
Despite this, his former self had willingly given up his login access. Not only that, but he had gone a step further— he'd bound himself to a random, unknown world login, giving himself no way to turn back. Even the current Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel a pang of frustration in his heart.
'The World of Naruto'— that was 'The World of Naruto'! If he hadn't transferred it, with his two-decade knowledge as a veteran on the 'Naruto' forums, he'd have been guaranteed to get into a top academy.
