0.86% Looking Forward to Another World / Chapter 3: Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?

Chương 3: Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?

As is well known, the reason for the appearance of the phenomenon of transmigration or reincarnation is that 99% of the time, the main character possesses cheats.

Riezel was no exception.

On his first day in this world, he discovered a transparent cube, called the 'Dimensional Magic Cube'.

It could only exist within his mind, impossible to extract or inspect. Apart from him, no one else could perceive its existence.

The cube's function was as its name suggested, related to dimensions.

...

[Dimensional Magic Cube's Instructions]

[1: The Dimensional Magic Cube can automatically absorb the energy that exists in the world. Once a month, it can randomly open a dimensional channel and perform dimensional travel.]

[2: The Dimensional Magic Cube can convert various powers from different worlds, ready to be activated and used at any time.]

[3: There is a storage space inside the Dimensional Magic Cube, which can be opened and used at any time.]

[4: When opening a dimensional channel to a personally selected world, it needs to consume ten times the energy.]

[5: When carrying items for dimensional travel, you need to consume the corresponding energy according to the value of the items.]

[6: The time limit for each dimensional travel is one day in the main world.]

[7: ...]

...

With the usage instructions and methods received a month ago when Riezel first encountered the Dimensional Magic Cube, he remained calm and tied in this new world.

Even knowing that his 'Gate' was completely damaged and his ability to use magic was gone, with someone secretly watching his life, he maintained composure, thanks to this mysterious Dimensional Magic Cube.

Of course, even without the Dimensional Magic Cube, he wouldn't panic or sit idly by. Murder attempts were nothing new to him, and he was already accustomed to facing them without any reliance on his previous life.

'The injuries are all healed. I've been lying in bed for a whole month. I can use the random dimensional travel function, right?'

Whether it was Yuri or the priest insisting Riezel rest for another day, he decided to make the most of this day.

Without further ado, he closed his eyes and lay down, beginning to operate the Dimensional Magic Cube.

'Activate the dimensional channel.'

As his consciousness conveyed instructions to the Dimensional Magic Cube, the transparent cube began rotating in his mind.

[Instructions accepted, starting the activation of the dimensional channel.]

[Sufficient energy, beginning the construction of the dimensional channel.]

[Built successfully.]

Suddenly, the transparent cube in his mind moved.

It initially rotated like a 3D animation, each cell detaching from the main body, breaking down into numerous transparent cells that rotated and interlaced.

Before long, the interlaced transparent cells formed a passage, extending to the end of his consciousness, disappearing into the invisible void.

[Finished with the opening of the dimensional channel, the information collection has been completed]

[Searching for highly compatible information with the world on the other side of the channel from the user's memory. Now conducting an arrangement.]

[Successfully arranged.]

[Connected World: Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?]

[Time Ratio: 1:100]

[Dimensional travel is the descent of consciousness, in which the user's consciousness is materialized in another world. Death of the consciousness after materialization will not affect the user, but the dimensional travel will end at the time of death. Please be careful.]

Upon receiving these messages from the Dimensional Magic Cube, Riezel was stunned on the spot.

Certainly, the reason he was stunned had nothing to do with anything else.

Regardless of the form of the dimensional travel or the difference in time ratios, upon his initial encounter with the Dimensional Magic Cube, he gained relevant information from its usage instructions.

Therefore, concerning the difference in time ratios between the two worlds, Riezel had long been aware, even understanding that this dimensional travel would only send his 'consciousness' and not his entire being.

This was why he regarded the Dimensional Magic Cube as a reliance and remained calm from start to finish.

Due to the difference in time ratios, even if the dimensional channel exists for only one day in the main world, in another world, Riezel would have plenty of time to explore and develop.

Since the dimensional travel only sent his consciousness, even if he were to die when he was in another world, he wouldn't be affected. At most, it would mark the end of this particular journey.

In this way, he could fully utilize the difference in time ratios and the absolutely safe situation to seek power and solutions.

This was his plan.

However, he did not anticipate that the dimensional channel opened by the Dimensional Magic Cube would ultimately connect to such a world.

'Is it really that world? Danmachi?'

Riezel expressed both surprise and delight.

The surprise was due to the unexpected destination of the dimensional travel not being some unfamiliar world but a world he had seen, experienced, and known.

The delight stemmed from this revelation.

After all, in this world, while Riezel may not know it like the back of his hand, he was familiar with a considerable amount of information, even the so-called 'plot'.

In this way, he could save time and energy by leveraging his understanding of this world, and obtaining what he wanted based on that knowledge.

Indeed, this world had what he desired.

It was a fantasy world where all races lived together in harmony, primarily composed of 'Humans' and 'Demi-Humans'.

There, Humans were not the only intelligent beings; various races such as Dwarves, Beastmen, Pallum, Elves, and Amazonesses coexist. Even beings like 'Gods' were present.

These 'Gods', for the sake of experiencing mortal life, departed their mundane heavens devoid of any entertainment, voluntarily sealed their divine powers known as 'Arcanum', and descended to the lower world where Humans and Demi-Humans reside.

They grant mortals the power called 'Falna' to attract them to join their established familial factions known as 'Familia' and establish a foothold in the lower world.

'I remember, once receiving Falna, one could enhance their abilities, level up, and grow stronger by defeating monsters, enemies, and opponents, gaining 'Excelia' in the process, akin to 'EXP' in a game.'

For Riezel, who currently had neither the time nor inclination for slow and steady practice, this method of gaining power was undoubtedly the perfect solution.

Joining a Familia and receiving Falna—that was his swift path to getting stronger.

Defeating enemies meant getting stronger.

Subjugating monsters meant getting stronger.

Even a bit of training meant getting stronger.

Having Excelia meant getting stronger.

'This first world for dimensional travel seems tailor-made for me.'

Realizing this, while not overly excited, Riezel couldn't help but feel a subtle surge of anticipation.

'The time ratio is 1:100, right?'

In other words, one day in the main world was equivalent to a hundred days in another world.

The dimensional travel's time limit was just one day in the main world. This meant, under the current time ratio, Riezel could spend a hundred days in another world.

'Can I break free from my current trouble in almost three and a half months, assuming everything goes smoothly?'

Riezel didn't know. But he had no other choice right now.

So, with determination, he directed his consciousness towards the dimensional channel in his mind, allowing it to pass through the dimensional channel and begin to travel to another world.

As for Riezel himself, he remained lying in bed, seemingly in a deep sleep.

To onlookers, he appeared to be nothing more than having a peaceful sleep. Little did they know, his consciousness had long departed to another world, no longer present in this world.

===

Time, it seemed, had lost its meaning in this split second.

Riezel didn't know how long he had wandered in the dimensional channel, nor did he know how much time had passed before he emerged from the channel.

All he could sense was that he was like a ghost, drifting lightly in a tunnel of light with no visible end as if he had been flying for a very long time.

After an unknown duration, his surroundings brightened, and a sudden heaviness spread from head to toe.

No, it wasn't that his body suddenly became heavy, but rather his consciousness, which had no weight before, suddenly materialized and regained its weight.

A feeling of being grounded spread beneath him.

Around him, there was a burst of noise.

Almost reflexively, he opened his eyes, allowing the scene in front of him to imprint on his eyes.

Immediately, he was stunned.

A street filled with otherworldly charm had abruptly entered his view.

The bustling street didn't resemble any modern scene in his memory; instead, it was filled with fantasy flavors.

Dwarves with strong bodies wore weapons and armor, walking with powerful, resounding footsteps.

Beastmen with animal-like ears and tails, along with human women, chatted and laughed.

Elves with pointed ears and exceptionally beautiful appearances bathed in praise from others as they crossed the street.

Small people akin to children and a brown-skinned girl chased each other and played.

And all around were buildings resembling those from the medieval era, full of historical charm.

A fresh and colorful fantasy world appeared before Riezel amid the noisy commotion, telling him that at this moment, he stood on such a street, in such a scenery.

Despite just arriving in this world and recently gaining body, his arrival didn't attract the attention of anyone on the street.

Whether Human or Demi-Human, they all naturally passed by him as if he had always been on this street, without a hint of feeling out of place.

Perhaps this was thanks to his current attire?

Riezel's main world was a world of swords and magic, not much different in era and style from this world. This made him fit seamlessly into this world, everything appearing so natural.

After a while, he laughed.

He laughed genuinely for the first time.

"Let's start with this world."

Muttering those words, Riezel took a step forward and began his journey in another world.

Chương 4: You Are My Child

It was unclear whether it was a coincidence or not, but this world was just like the main one, currently in the midst of summer.

The hustle and bustle of the city added an extra spark to the summer here, making it seem a bit hotter compared to the original world.

Walking amidst the crowd, with stalls constantly calling out to attract customers on the bustling streets, Riezel strolled casually like a traveler, brushing shoulders with the locals.

'It seems like language barriers aren't much of a problem for me.'

Listening to the continuous sounds around him and observing the storefronts and signboards posted on each stall, he confirmed this.

Whether it was the main world or this one, the language and writing used were different from what he learned in his previous life.

However, he could naturally understand the language of people from this world and comprehend the written words. It fascinated him for quite a while.

In the main world, there was no issue since he received the memories of his body's original owner, and understanding the language and letters was expected.

But being able to do the same in this world made him wonder if there was a specific reason for it.

'Is it the influence of the Dimensional Magic Cube?'

Riezel could only think of that possibility.

The Dimensional Magic Cube, capable of freely converting powers between different worlds, might not find it difficult to help its user grasp languages from various worlds.

Thanks to this, after wandering around a bit and interacting with a few locals, he roughly figured out where he was.

'As expected, this is the Labyrinth City, Orario.'

Labyrinth City, Orario.

This was the main stage of the original work, a city with an extremely special and crucial status.

Built on top of an underground labyrinth, it suppressed the labyrinth called 'Dungeon' below, like a fortress lid, preventing the monsters inside from escaping outside.

Due to the existence of the dungeon and its monsters, countless races converged in this city, seeking adventure and the unknown, making this city the unparalleled bustling city above ground.

Therefore, it was considered the center of the world, excelling in adventure, trade, entertainment, and conflict, attracting many experts, merchants, and even Gods.

'This works out perfectly.'

Riezel nodded and spoke inwardly.

'With the dungeon here and so many monsters to subjugate, after receiving a blessing from a God, I can also grow at the fastest rate.'

Moreover, being the main stage of the original work, many familiar people, events, and things were here, allowing him, who was familiar with the plot, to gain the advantage of knowing the future and receiving tangible or intangible help.

'The current top priority should be to quickly find a Familia to join...' Riezel began to ponder.

A Familia was a developmental organization and a family force established by the Gods for their own purposes.

The Gods bestowed the power of 'Falna' upon mortals, allowing them to transcend the ordinary and possess abilities far beyond mortals.

Those who received 'Falna' joined a God's Familia as the 'God's child', following their Familia's policies and providing the resources necessary for their Familia and their God to continue operating and surviving.

Strictly speaking, it was a mutually beneficial, interdependent relationship.

Of course, mortals varied in quality, some strong and some weak, and the same went for the Familia.

Although the blessing received from any God didn't differ fundamentally, due to differences in management philosophy and operational methods, the strength, influence, and position of major Familias varied.

Some Familias were newly established or struggling, making them relatively weak.

Others thrived, with numerous members, making them much more powerful, gathering various experts and resources.

There were also Familias primarily established for business, with members lacking combat power. Some Familias even existed and operated outside of Orario in the form of nations.

This was just the basic difference.

If one delved deeper, factors such as the personality of the God who established the Familia, the internal environment of the Familia, and the presence of negative influences had to be considered.

If one accidentally joined a God that saw their Familia and children as money-making machines or as mere entertainment, it was basically a game over.

After all, Gods in this world voluntarily sealed their Arcanum as they descended to the lower world for the sake of playing. Most of them were all about pleasure and entertainment.

Choosing which Familia to join required careful consideration and prudent selection.

'If I remember correctly, in Orario, the strongest seems to be Loki Familia, Freya Familia, and Ganesha Familia, right?'

The prefix name of a Familia referred to the God who established it. For example, the founder of Loki Familia was the famous God of Mischief from Norse Mythology—Loki.

But unlike the male counterpart in true mythology, Loki in this world was a female.

As Riezel recalled the long-lost original work, he strolled through the streets and suddenly found himself in a somewhat familiar place.

Just beyond the bustling main street, a much taller and larger building than the surrounding area appeared. Several high-rise towers overlapped, resembling a mountain of swords, and a flag fluttered atop the central tower.

The flag depicted a clown as if showing a comical smile to the people on the ground, particularly eye-catching.

The somewhat familiar building and flag made Riezel stop in his tracks.

'Loki Familia, huh?'

The clown flag, precisely the symbol of Loki Familia, one of Orario's strongest Familias, Riezel unexpectedly found himself in the heart of their base.

'Could it be... this is fate?'

===

As the sun set, Orario was enveloped in the glow of the evening sky.

The people finishing a day's work and the adventurers returning from the dungeon strolled through the streets with a mix of exhaustion and involuntary relaxation, transforming the city into the embrace of the night.

"Hmm~ Hmm~ Hmm~"

In a corner of the street bathed in the twilight hues, a figure of a woman with long, casually tied crimson hair and eyes squinted walked with an elegant yet strangely messy appearance. Though possessing a refined countenance, she exuded an air of nonchalance and a lack of seriousness.

Humming a tune, she strolled casually but her hums faded as she lost interest.

"Ugh, so boring~ Wandered around all day and found nothing amusing."

The woman grumbled in a tone that sounded oddly down-to-earth.

"All the kids are off on expeditions, and only a few are left at home. And they all claim to have work to do, refusing to come out and play with me."

"That's not the worst part. I went out to have some fun myself, and those guys who are usually desperate for a party seem to have taken some strange medicine. Not a single one showed up today."

"Boring, just plain boring~!"

"Aah~ I want to play patty-cake with cute girls and have some lovey-dovey time with Ais."

Walking with a swagger, the woman continued her lamentations, making remarks that were far from flattering, causing pedestrians to instinctively steer clear.

Unaware of the effect of her remarks on others, she continued to sigh.

"Let's just go home and have a drink. If I calculate the time correctly, everyone should be back soon. I can endure a few more days."

After saying that, the woman turned into the road beyond the bustling main street and reached the mountain of swords-shaped buildings—Twilight Manor.

On the highest tower amid the multitude of towers, a flag depicting a clown still swayed in the wind.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, the laid-back woman stopped in her tracks.

For no particular reason.

It just, on the manor's gate, someone stood there.

'A human boy?'

The woman recognized the person's race and gender, and her initially squinted eyes widened slightly. Inside, an unusual brightness for a mere mortal glimmered.

Especially when she saw the other person, who had clearly seen her as well. Yet, the boy remained standing by the gate, openly locking eyes with her. His figure showed no signs of wavering, and this display immediately piqued her interest.

'I see... Is he waiting for me?'

In an instant, the woman seemed to see through the boy's intentions and burst into hearty laughter.

Her smile, reminiscent of the clown's whimsical grin hanging on the flag at the highest point of Twilight Manor, added an inexplicable touch to the atmosphere.

'Interesting...'

When such a feeling arose in the woman's heart, there was no suspense about what action should be taken next.

To see something interesting and want to get closer was the nature of Gods.

Tired of the heavenly life, willingly sealed their Arcanum to pursue entertainment in the lower world and roamed freely like mortals.

The woman—or rather, the Goddess fully played out this trait, walking straight toward the human boy.

"Hey, kid, what are you doing here by yourself?"

The Norse Goddess—Loki, greeted the boy who had just arrived in this world today, standing nonchalantly at the entrance of her Familia's base.

In response, the boy simply flashed a calm and steady smile.

"I have no place to go."

That's what the boy said.

Simple and concise.

Although it was not a particularly glorious situation, the boy's attitude was so calm and seemed almost indifferent to his own unfortunate circumstances.

But Loki knew he wasn't lying.

Even though her Arcanum was sealed, as a Goddess who had survived for countless eons, her divine insight and knowledge were sufficient to see through many things that mortals thought were profound.

Based on this, it was almost impossible for mortals to hide something from her.

"Do you want me to take you in?"

The comical smile on Loki's face seemed to be getting thicker as she asked that.

"Yes." The boy nodded straight.

"Good!" Loki said joyfully without any hesitation while still grinning. "From today on, you are my child!"

Was this just a whim of the Goddess, or was there a deeper meaning?

No one knew.

There was only one thing certain.

Riezel had successfully joined Loki Familia.

In just a few words.
