Another world, Granbahamal.(uncle from another world)
Yecheng, who was supposed to be in the "Danji" and on the verge of being devoured by Jutou, finally had his dimensional travel system load and activate at the last moment.
The instant the system activated, Jutou slammed into Yecheng's body, shattering it into pieces of ice.
Since a Shinigami's body is composed of spirit particles, a portion of these particles descended into this so-called other world—Granbahamal.
Because Yecheng was originally a Shinigami, with a body made entirely of spirit particles, his arrival in this new world wasn't a simple transmigration or reincarnation. Instead, his bones and flesh were reconstructed in this world, allowing him to appear as a native inhabitant.
"I am the God of the Otherworld. As a transmigrator to this world, I can grant you one ability as a cheat to survive in this harsh world."
The first voice Yecheng heard upon his arrival wasn't from a system, but from a so-called "God of the Otherworld."
Although Yecheng didn't know why the language spoken by the "God of the Otherworld" was the same one he spoke in his previous life, he was grateful to be able to understand it.
With the mindset of "a fool passes up a freebie," Yecheng naturally had no reason to refuse a cheat being offered to him. He immediately voiced his innermost desire.
"I want to possess the most powerful strength in this world, an overwhelmingly strong power that can defeat anyone I encounter!"
When asked what kind of cheat he wanted, it was no different from being asked to make a wish. Naturally, Yecheng wouldn't hold back.
The God of the Otherworld: "..."
Upon hearing Yecheng's request, the so-called God of the Otherworld clearly glitched. From their previous exchange, it was evident that this entity was similar to a system, and the wish Yecheng made obviously exceeded its authority.
Wanting world-beating strength? What would that make the gods, demon kings, and dragon kings of this world?
Even if it was a cheat, its power couldn't be too ridiculous, as it would only upset the world's overall balance.
Perhaps sensing that his request was too much, causing the God of the Otherworld to lag, Yecheng had to lower his expectations. "Since this is a fantasy world of swords and magic, there should be magic and mana, right? Then I want to have a massive amount of mana and a body that's immune to magic. That shouldn't be a problem, right?"
The God of the Otherworld was truly speechless at Yecheng's second request. If it weren't merely a beginner's guide-like existence, it would have really wanted to give Yecheng a big slap.
The reason? This human in front of it was simply too greedy!
"The requests you've made are for two separate abilities: a massive amount of mana and magic immunity. I can only fulfill one of them."
Faced with the stingy God of the Otherworld, Yecheng hesitated for a moment before ultimately choosing the ability of Magic Immunity.
He made this choice after careful consideration. Possessing a massive amount of mana doesn't necessarily mean one has excellent magical talent. It's like having a supercar without a driver's license—it's completely useless.
The Magic Immunity ability, however, was different. With this power, he would be a natural nemesis for mages in this world.
As for mana, according to the low-tier system that transferred him, his own spiritual pressure seemed to be able to automatically convert into this world's power system.
Even if Yecheng's magical talent turned out to be nonexistent, his swordsmanship, combined with his newly acquired Magic Immunity ability, would at least grant him a certain degree of self-preservation, if not the ability to dominate the world.
After granting Yecheng the cheat ability to protect himself in this world, the "God of the Otherworld" vanished.
This left Yecheng utterly speechless, as he had planned to ask the entity about other things in this world. The God of the Otherworld, who was supposed to guide transmigrators, was incredibly irresponsible.
Yecheng found himself in what appeared to be a forest. He knew absolutely nothing about this new world. The system that brought him here seemed to only have the ability to traverse dimensions. But during its activation, Yecheng's body was struck by Jutou... This directly caused his spirit particles to scatter across various worlds, and he was the portion that landed in this one.
With no other choice, he had to first gather basic information about this strange new world. To do so, he needed to make contact with others, or at least with intelligent creatures.
But after wandering in the forest for two days, Yecheng had slaughtered countless magic beasts, yet he hadn't seen a single human, let alone any intelligent beings.
"I don't have a map, but I don't believe I can't get out of this forest just by walking straight in one direction!"
The forest Yecheng was in wasn't actually that large. The reason he hadn't been able to leave after two days was simply because he had a certain degree of a poor sense of direction.
As everyone knows, people who are good at swordsmanship often have this one flaw. While Yecheng wasn't like a certain three-sword style swordsman who wanders in circles, his sense of direction was indeed quite bad.
"Are you trying to rob me? I can give you money, please let me go."
"What's this orc talking about? He even took out a few pieces of paper to fool us?"
"Orcs are so smart now, they even know how to beg for mercy? This one might be a rare species."
"If we take this guy to the merchant guild, we should be able to sell him for a good price."
After wandering for two days, Yecheng was ecstatic to finally hear human voices in the forest.
When he followed the sound and hid to get a closer look, he found a group of men in a standoff. To be more precise, it was more like a one-sided beating, where three men dressed like adventurers were ganging up on another man who looked like a "human."
Although the man being beaten kept his head tucked and his butt in the air, begging for mercy and claiming to be a human, the three adventurers didn't believe him in the slightest.
In a world where most people are handsome and beautiful, this man's looks could only be described as peculiar, not just ordinary.
So even though Isao Yousuke could speak, they simply saw him as a rare talking orc. They were now even preparing to capture him and bring him back to the city to make a good profit.
Orcs were a subspecies and not uncommon in this world, but a talking one was different. Such a rare commodity was guaranteed to sell for a high price.
