In a small house in the middle of the city, Han Chen, a smart young man who constantly suffered failures due to losing his parents at a young age, was sitting. He studied and worked hard for his future, trying to provide a simple life for himself, but he always felt that fate did not smile upon him.
".. Ah, the weather is cold… I should close the window."".. This game is good…"".. I have to wake up tomorrow to work at the café to earn some money to cover the rent…"".. I live in my uncle Ghost's house… he has taken care of me since I was young, but he became ill recently, and all the money I earn goes to his treatment…"
Han Chen sighed slowly, then said to himself:".. Okay, I will finish one round of the game and then go to sleep…"
Suddenly, something strange appeared on the computer screen:
(Ding)"Do you want to join the chat group that moves across worlds?"
(Ding)"There are chances of death. Do you dare to take the challenge? Choose Yes or No."
".. What is this announcement?"".. But this game does not support ads…"".. Strange… hmm… okay, I will agree… go to hell!"
(Ding)"Congratulations! You have joined the group."
Iron Member: Han Chen – Number 595
(Ding)"Congratulations on joining the Transmigrators' chat group. The transfer will begin in half an hour. Please prepare mentally."
While Han Chen was trying to comprehend what happened, messages appeared from the group members:
9: "Hahaha, a new person… will die."
101: "You bastard, instead of laughing at him, give him advice to stay alive."
Han Chen felt extremely confused, then suddenly found himself in a strange place, neither completely dark nor naturally bright. In front of him were other people, each carrying a special number:
595: "W… what is this?"
9: "Well, newcomer… in half an hour you will transfer across the cosmic dimensions to one of the worlds or higher paths. The survival rate is very low: for every 100 people, only one survives… and you are the fifth. I hope you survive."
Han Chen: "Huh? What do they mean? Is death common in this group?"
9: "You will transfer to a strange world… you might find yourself in a swamp and die, or a volcano erupts, or the world's power is too strong for your body… but most people do not die because of circumstances, but because they do not understand the nature of the world. Hurry up!"
595: "O mighty migrants, is this group a trap?"
9: "Almost… yes."
595: "… but how do I get out?"
9: "Entering the place is not like leaving it."
595: "I suppose many people have died, so there is no way out? I am just asking how to get out of this dimension."
101: "Simple… think about the place you were in…"
595: "Thanks…"
Suddenly, Han Chen found himself again in his room on the floor, unable to understand what happened. He went under his bed, where his guns he bought to protect himself from gangs were.
He took some vegetables and raw meat from the fridge and lit a small fire to prepare. He sat thinking, feeling scared, but before half an hour passed, the light appeared again…
(alerting member 595 to get ready)
A bright light appeared from all directions, and Han Chen began to feel dizzy and suffocated at the same time, as if the ground beneath his feet had begun to vanish.
When Han Chen opened his eyes, he was shocked by what he saw.The sky was filled with glowing clouds, their colors shifting between dark blue and purple, as if they were not of this world.
Before his eyes, small lakes shimmered with an inner light, like magical lamps glowing from their depths.On the horizon, small islands floated in the air, each surrounded by a mysterious aura that could not be explained.
And to his astonishment, three suns and six moons appeared in the middle of the day, synchronized as if defying the laws of nature.
"M… what is this?" Han Chen whispered to himself, watching the scene with awe and fear.
He looked around and discovered that he was standing in the middle of a dense forest, next to a still river that had never flowed.Suddenly, the chat group interface appeared before him, transparent and floating:
101: "Are you okay?"595 (Han Chen): "Yes… but I am in a forest next to a lake. This place is strange, there are more than one sun and moon…"101: "Haha, this is normal here. You need to quickly choose systems that help you, or a talent through clicking the lottery.You will also find the trait panel to know your positions, attributes, and talents, and even evaluate them. It is a tool to help you."
595: "Okay…"
Before Han Chen could click on the lottery panel, he heard a terrifying exhale; the ground shook until he felt as if it were about to split apart.
"M… what is this?!" he shouted to himself, feeling the force of the sound pierce through his body, as if it was about to explode.
Blood rushed in his ears, so he sat under a tree trunk trying to calm himself, putting bandages on his ears to ease the pain.
In the sky, a strange and terrifying scene appeared: an old man holding the head of a green tiger, as if they were flying together in the air.
"Damn… I want to go back home! Why did I accept? I'm stupid!" Han Chen muttered to himself.
But when the old man looked at Han Chen, he said in a frightening voice:".. What is this bug doing here? It doesn't matter, I got what I wanted, must return."
"Bug?" the hero muttered to himself, before the old man suddenly disappeared with just one glance.
Han Chen sighed, stood with difficulty, and began to observe the scene around him. He took a deep breath in and out to calm himself, while his heart trembled with fear.
Just minutes ago, he thought the worst possible scenario was that the chat group was dark and full of conspiracies, but now he realized that it was much bigger… this was a matter of life or death.
After that, he immediately opened the system interfaces and pressed the lottery button.
(Ding): "Hello, host 595. We wish you good luck in choosing one of the systems. Please confirm before finalizing the choice; a system will be selected randomly."
595: "Start…"
(Ding): "Wrong… wrong!!!"
Suddenly:(Ding): "Congratulations to host 595 for obtaining the Eternal Simulator!"
Han Chen could not comprehend what had happened, but he felt a stream of strange energy flowing within him.
