บท 2: Chapter 2: Welcome to the New World

Douluo Dalu World, Douluo Continent, Heaven Dou Empire, Barracks Kingdom, Fasano Province, Notting City Forest.

Three kilometers from Notting City, we can see a forest area that has an area of 500 square meters with grasslands measuring 350 square meters, a lake measuring 150 square meters, and a waterfall that has a height of 30 meters and a width of 10 meters.

In the middle of the plains of the forest area, we can see a boy who is lying down. The boy had the appearance of short blue hair, snow-white skin, well-groomed eyebrows, long eyelashes, and a very handsome and cute face. The boy was wearing a white kimono with several circular blue patterns.

Slowly Shirou's eyelids began to open. The first thing Shirou saw after he occupied his new body was a vast expanse of blue sky, "Where is this?..." Shirou thought confusedly after he woke up in a new place.

Shirou raised his body and looked at the very beautiful area he was currently occupying while his face frowned and thought, "Lake? Waterfall? How did I get here?..., Wasn't it before----" Shirou suddenly recalled all the events that he had experienced before first waking up on a stretch of meadow, meeting a ball of light, getting good news, asking 3 wishes, and finally until he fell asleep.

All those memories flashed right back into Shirou's mind. Along with the memories of past events, Shirou also found a lot of knowledge entering his mind. However, he felt that his mind easily accepted all that vast knowledge.

After all the memories and knowledge entered Shirou's mind, Shirou raised one of his hands. Shirou saw that his previously adult hands had turned into the hands of a 5 to 6-year-old child. Shirou lowered his hand again and stood up while walking towards the lakeside and crouched down staring at the surface of the lake.

The shadow of Shirou's appearance was reflected by the surface of the lake. Shirou saw his appearance which had changed into a 5 to a 6-year-old child, short blue hair, snow-white skin, well-groomed eyebrows, long eyelashes, and a very handsome and cute face. Shirou raised his hand and touched his new face.

"So…, that's right, what the light said. He brought me good news." Shirou's feelings were very happy, happy, and also a little surprised because he now found that he was no longer in the world he lived in but the world of Douluo Dalu as he had previously requested.

Shirou who had been satisfied with his new appearance raised his head again and looked at the surroundings he had awakened in, "It seems that the messenger said honestly. I will arrive in an environment that is safe from beasts and soul beasts. Could it be that this environment was previously prepared for me?"

Shirou sat by the lake and he felt some changes in his body, "It's not just getting 3 wishes. God also slightly increased my brain capacity. Otherwise, it would be impossible for me to receive all the vast knowledge beforehand. By the way, since the third request has been accepted, surely the second request can already be used. Let's try."

Shirou straightened his sitting position meditasi as he closed his eyes and focused his mind on being able to access his second request which was the storage space ability.

Suddenly Shirou could no longer feel the wind in his surroundings, the sunlight hitting his body, and the smell of the forest. Shirou slowly opened his eyes again, he found that he was now not in his previous environment but a very large void, and in front of him were the things he wanted to have in his storage room.

"Amazing~" Shirou couldn't hide his excitement, joy, and surprise to see there were so many items in front of him, and each of the items he wanted to form a huge mountain.

From the far left, there were soul ring tools, soul ring lifespan enhancement tools, immortal plants, medicinal herbs, metals, various modern clothes, spices, and foodstuffs, as well as a large number of bathing and washing utensils. Besides the various piles of items, there were 100,000 gold soul coins as well as 10 capsule cases.

"If I am not mistaken. In a fantasy world, the way to use storage space abilities is to think about it. But before that, I need to link this storage space ability with myself." Shirou closed his eyes and focused on being able to connect the storage space ability and his own body.

It didn't take long for Shirou to feel a very strong connection between himself and the storage space. Shirou could even figure out whatever items were in the storage room and could take out and store whatever he wanted using just his mind.

Shirou opened his eyes again while giving orders to use his mind to bring up one of the capsule cases. One of the capsule cases instantly appeared in front of Shirou. Shirou was very satisfied as he opened the capsule case.

Inside the capsule suitcase, 10 capsules have the capsule house written on them and there is an instruction paper. Shirou immediately took the instruction paper and started reading it seriously. The instruction paper explained about the capsule house, the facilities obtained, the furniture, and how to activate the available resources.

"Hmm~ I didn't think that the metal I wanted had the benefit of being used as a resource for the capsule house" Shirou who had finished reading the instruction paper put the paper back into the suitcase and closed the case again while returning it to its original place.

Shirou who had finished seeing and connecting the storage room abilities and himself slowly started pulling himself back from the storage room. Shirou who was sitting in the outside environment slowly opened his eyes again. Shirou immediately raised his hand forward while thinking about one of the capsules in the capsule case.

Suddenly above Shirou's right palm appeared a capsule with the words 'Capsule House' written on it. Shirou was very happy about this and tried to return the capsule to his storage room. Suddenly the capsule disappeared from Shirou's hand, Shirou felt the capsule had returned to his storage room. Satisfied, Shirou pulled back the capsule he had put in.

"So, where do I need to build my house?" Shirou thought as he rose from his meditation position and looked around.

"Hmm~ It's better to build a house in the east direction. So that I can also enjoy the view of the sunset every day." Shirou, who had made up his mind, immediately looked at the sun in the sky to see the east and west.

After Shirou got his direction, he immediately walked towards the east and stopped right at 75 meters from the edge of the neighborhood. Shirou immediately pressed the capsule button and threw it forward.

BOOM!!!!!.....

The capsule exploded immediately and produced a large amount of smoke that covered the surroundings. Slowly the smoke began to dissipate and reveal a small house measuring 50 square meters with a minimalist design and has a white color with a blue combination.

Seeing the house that had been built, Shirou immediately walked in. Arriving at the house, Shirou was immediately greeted with a small room that had a small shoe storage cupboard and also a place to put footwear. Shirou took off the footwear he was wearing and changed into his house slippers and walked inside.

The capsule house has a size of 50 square meters for the outside while the inside of the house has a size of 450 square meters. This house consists of two floors, the first floor has a size of 250 meters while the second floor has a size of 200 meters.

The first floor of the house has a living room with a size of 50 square meters, a relaxing room with a size of 50 square meters, a kitchen with a size of 25 square meters, a dining room with a size of 25 square meters, a small warehouse with a size of 25 square meters, as well as an exercise room with the largest size which is 75 square meters.

The second floor of the house has three bedrooms, each measuring 50 square meters complete with en-suite bathrooms and a workspace of 50 square meters. Every room in this house already has the best quality furniture to provide maximum comfort for someone who lives in it.

In terms of resources, this house uses a generator that is stored in a small shed next to the practice room. This generator consists of an electric generator, a fire generator, a water generator, a space generator, and an ice generator. Each generator has its function and a way to activate or run each generator is by inserting metal that has an elemental content by the generator.

After Shirou finished looking around his new house, Shirou continued by activating the generator to be able to use the facilities in his new home. Finished with the generator business, Shirou continued up the second floor to his room. Arriving at the room, Shirou went to take care of the things that he would put in the room such as clothes, shoes, and other accessories that he put in the closet and study table.

Shirou continued to go to the bathroom after his room stuff was done. In the bathroom, Shirou put his toiletries in the sink and washing equipment beside the washing machine in the corner of the bathroom.

*Stomach* *Stomach* *Stomach*

Simultaneously with the completion of Shirou's business regarding household items and resources, Shirou's stomach rumbled wanting to be filled immediately. Shirou who had just come out of the bathroom reflexively immediately held his stomach while thinking, "Ah~ I remember, I haven't eaten after moving to the expanse of grassland. By the way, this seems like a very good time. I was able to try this new taste of my dish after gaining some cooking knowledge."
