What the hell...

Bang!

A bullet hit Kai's chest.

He looked down at the hole that was created on his chest and the blood that was slowly seeping out of it. In front of him, his friend was standing with a shaking gun. His whole body was shaking.

Drop!

A drop of blood hit the ground.

"Ugh... Fucking hell.." He groaned while looking at his bloodied chest.

Drop!

Another drop of blood hit the ground.

"I guess all that friendship crap about us never really meant anything to you," Kai said mockingly.

His friend's shaking aggravated but still, he stayed silent.

"I guess this is the end then" He sighed as he looked at his surroundings, the trees rustled with the wind, and the sun shone brightly in the sky.

But then something strange happened, his wound started healing.

"What the hell" As soon he said that his surroundings warped and when he opened his eyes and glanced at his surroundings, he saw that he was in a fiery place with erupting volcanoes strewn everywhere.

The sky was filled with smoke from them making breathing difficult.

"Cough cough... where am I, is this hell ?, I thought I was going to heaven with all the good deeds I have done, I guess that was all a hoax," He said self-depreciatingly.

"But I just said hell and now I am in a similar location, so does this mean..."

Suddenly there was a loud sound of something flying in the sky at a high speed.

Kai looked up and was shocked to see that something seemed to be homing in his direction.

Kai looked at the smoke-filled sky and the blurry silhouette of the thing became clear as it approached his location... It was a body.

"Motherfu...." He only had time to say half a curse before it crashed in front of him...

Boom!

And needless to say, he was swept away by the shockwave.

"Ughh... Why is a freaking body crashing in front of me!!" Kai groaned as he cursed.

He stood up while shaking all the dust and debris off his body and started to move towards the impact radius and sure enough there was a humanoid body on the ground.

'This is a devil's body,' Kai thought while inspecting the corpse. The horns on the forehead and the pale skin were clear features of a devil, but the corpse had something odd. Its black feathery wings didn't belong to its species.

"Wait a second, a pale body might be considered a mutation but the black feathery wings are not the features of a devil but a....."

As his attention was focused on the uncanny feature of the corpse, Kai did not notice that he had reached the edge of the crater and stepped on nothing but air.

...And then he fell into the crater.

Crash!

Thump!

"Ouch, what is this feathery thing under me, oh wings... WINGS!!" Kai cursed inwardly as he instantly rolled away from the body.

*Crack*

He noticed his knee pressing on the corpse's neck as he rolled away.

But then suddenly an androgynous voice announced as if whispering in his ear.

[Killed mutated Devil's angel successfully]

[A drop of ichor acquired]

He waited for a second but nothing happened after that.

"It wasn't dead..., I could have died, again!" Kai exclaimed.

"What is this voice" Kai felt weird suddenly having a voice whispering in his ear.

But there was one major problem with that, it was, that he didn't know what an ichor was, nor the value of it.

The one thing still making him awkward was, how could he access wherever that drop of ichor was.

There was a glaring problem than that... It was how could he access wherever this drop of ichor was stored.

Kai suddenly saw a scarlet crystal forming on the chest of the... Devil's angel and as it was forming the creature's body started to look emanciated as if all its energy and blood was coagulating on its chest.

He watched it for 2 minutes until it fully formed and then the body disintegrated into dust particles and the scarlet crystal fell on the ground.

Kai picked it up and felt it in his hands "Not bad, not bad... It feels very smooth" He commented and then closed his palm to feel it again but then it... vanished.

"I didn't even know until now that I can do magic, if I knew that I would have impressed all the girls in the boring parties of my father" But alas good things only come after bad outcomes...

"Ughh.. let me feel good for a moment, you stupid world!" Kai felt frustrated.

"Anyway let's get out of this godforsaken place, what am I even saying, how can I even get out of this never-ending hell of..."

As he was complaining, his surroundings suddenly warped again and now he was in a bright white room with white walls.

"Now where the hell am I, Is this another world?" Kai said as he looked around the room and then noticed a bald man in a prisoner uniform cuffed and chained to a weirdly dangerous chair, getting zapped every 3 seconds.

When the man was not getting zapped his body started getting buffed up but the instant he got zapped, the man deflated like a balloon.

Strangely this made for a hilarious scene of the man getting inflated and then deflated, it almost looked like the man was only taking long breaths.

"Hehehe" Kai couldn't help but laugh at this hilarious scene and then the man heard him laughing and looked at him indignantly.

"He..he.." And he choked on laughter after seeing the man's fury-filled eyes and then suddenly an alarm started ringing and an announcement rang out.

[Staff members this is an important announcement, I repeat this is an important announcement. An intruder has been detected in room 202 but no astral anomaly detected. I repeat...]

At this moment Kai knew he was fucked up but there was one thing he was glad of, it was that this world if it was not his previous world used...English.

At least there will be no communication barrier and his chances of getting caught as an otherworldly traveler will be slim...if he didn't screw up.

Once again his bad habit started acting up and he overlooked that a purple mist was slowly seeping in through the vents and making him drowsy.

"wait a second, why am I feeling sleepy?, oh yeah, I have traveled and experienced a lot in these..." Then he collapsed to the ground.

Just as he collapsed the door opened a squad of people in black combat uniforms came, handcuffed him, then took him out of the room.
