With a furious roar, a rift in space appeared. Chen Fan was sucked into it.
When Chen Fan regained consciousness, he was outside a desert. "Ah, ah, ah...!" Every bone in his body ached. Forcing his way into space was too much. The burden of space had weighed on his body. His computational ability had seized up. He couldn't do it anymore.
After resting for a bit, he stood up. He looked around. The ground was floating. There were strange plants and monsters. This must be the magic world. He had successfully arrived in Edolas.
But he was definitely far from Mystogan's coordinates. He had faced a space storm. Chen Fan had had to push himself again. That's why his computation had 'frozen'.
'But where is this? Edolas is so big, where can I find them?' Chen Fan was frustrated. His power had dropped from 'Great Ability User LV4' to 'Strong Ability User LV3'.
He discovered another problem. He wasn't the protagonist. He wouldn't just coincidentally run into Fairy Tail.
But just as he thought that, a golden light appeared in front of him. After it disappeared, there was a building that looked like a magical house with the Fairy Tail logo on it.
"Uh..." Chen Fan's eyes widened. 'This is a bit much, isn't it? I just thought about them, and they just appeared.'
He had to go in now. Lisanna was there. If he found Lisanna, defeated the king, and let Mystogan take the throne, everything would be perfect, just like in the comics.
"Bang...!" Chen Fan burst through the doors of Fairy Tail in Edolas. "Hello, everyone...!"
The entire guild fell silent. Everyone was staring at him. 'Should I have knocked?' He had gotten too used to the Fairy Tail guild that never knocked on doors.
When he turned, a group of people ran toward him, tears streaming down their faces. "President...!"
"It's the President...! He's back!"
"The President is finally back!"
Chen Fan was confused. 'President? I'm the Guild Master of Fairy Tail?' He realized that not only his world, but Edolas had also changed because of him. The version of him here was a 'Guild Master' who was deeply trusted.
"President, you've been gone for more than two years. Where did you go? A lot of our friends have died. We had no choice but to run."
"Yes, President, they're cruel. A lot of our friends have died."
Chen Fan saw them, their personalities different but their faces the same. He felt a pang of guilt. 'This guild became like this because of me. If I hadn't appeared, there wouldn't have been another me here.'
Suddenly, Mira shouted. "Stop! Everyone!"
Everyone stopped. "Miss Mira."
"Mira-chan!"
Mira burst into tears. "He's not our President! He's from another world! Don't you get it?!" She sank to the floor, sobbing.
"Mira...!"
"Mira-chan!"
They looked at Chen Fan, then slowly retreated to Mira's side. Levy patted Mira's shoulder. "Calm down, Mira. We know the President is gone. But when the same person appeared, we couldn't help how we felt."
Chen Fan looked at Mira and the rest of Fairy Tail. He felt he had to do something.
He approached Mira. Before Mira could say anything, the large but cowardly Elfman shouted. "Brother-in-law!"
"Buzz...!" Chen Fan was stunned. Elfman calling him 'brother-in-law' only meant one thing: in this world, he and Mira were married.
"Don't talk nonsense, Elfman. He's not your brother-in-law. He's an outsider," Mira pulled Elfman back.
Chen Fan was confused. He never expected to be married to Mira. If this were him, he would have been overjoyed. But he was an outsider.
However, he had a responsibility to them now. Since he was here, he had to take responsibility.
Chen Fan helped Mira to her feet, wiping away her tears. Then he walked to the counter and put his foot on the table. "Macao, tell me what happened. I want to know the situation."
"Oh...! It's the President, the President is back!" A cheer of enthusiasm erupted in the guild.
Chen Fan listened to Macao, who was wearing a suit and glasses. Macao here was very different.
After hearing everything, Chen Fan realized how difficult the situation was for Fairy Tail here. Because it was his fault, he had to bear the burden.
"President, what should we do?"
Chen Fan thought. "Don't do anything for now. Call everyone who is on a mission. I don't want anyone to get hurt. I also need time to recover."
"Alright, President!" Macao said.
"By the way, you know I'm from another world. You've met Natsu and Wendy, haven't you? Where did they go?"
"President, you're talking about Natsu and the others? They went to the capital."
"Really? How long ago was that?" Chen Fan asked.
"It's been a while. We were being chased by goblins at the time. Miss Lucy went with us."
'Lucy, the older sister... never mind,' Chen Fan didn't care. He called Macao over and whispered, "So, am I married to Mira?"
Macao whispered back. "Not yet, she's still your fiancée."
Chen Fan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it hadn't reached the final stage yet.
