Chiba City.

Makuhari Seaside Park.

By the lotus pond, a gentle breeze stirred the water into ripples.

"Seriously, sir? The gun is loaded, and you tell me I've crossed over?"

Luo Shu looked around, bewildered by the unfamiliar surroundings.

Ever since he had given up on buying a house and marrying, his fortunes with women had skyrocketed.

At this comic convention, he had hit it off with a cosplayer of Raiden Shogun.

Those car headlights, that hourglass figure, that full peach-shaped backside...

It was enough to send anyone into ecstasy!

After connecting well, they quickly made their way to a hotel, eager to exchange skills and insights.

And now, he was told he had crossed over?

"Come on, at least give me half an hour... no, two hours!"

Frustrated, Luo Shu was left with a sense of helplessness.

He was in this new body, his phone could neither connect nor call, and the two thousand yen in his wallet had turned into counterfeit bills, leaving him as a non-entity.

He tentatively approached a passerby.

He discovered he had entered a parallel world, a neon-lit Japan.

It was 2012, the year the Mayans had predicted the apocalypse.

But the world was larger and the population greater.

Not to mention, the security was surprisingly poor, leading people to be more superstitious.

During his wandering, he noticed shrines everywhere, many adorned with aged talismans swaying gently in the breeze, surrounded by fragrant incense.

In this park, he saw numerous elegantly dressed onmyouji, smiling as they diligently used their professional divination tools to provide insights and guidance to clients.

Yet, despite their flourishing business, they cast suspicious glances at him, leaving Luo Shu perplexed.

Gazing into the pond, he understood why.

He was still clad in the extravagant robe he wore at the convention, threaded with gold and silver.

And...

"Damn, if I had this look back then, I wouldn't even need to pay for a room."

Luo Shu crouched by the pond, resting his chin on his hand.

His face hadn't changed, but his skin had improved dramatically; it was now smooth as jade.

His original good looks had skyrocketed, reaching a god-like status.

Moreover, he seemed to have grown taller.

What was once a decent height was now a tall and statuesque figure.

With a striking appearance, a tall build, and a luxurious robe, he emanated a mysterious aura.

No wonder the onmyouji felt threatened.

Suddenly, Luo Shu's expression shifted, and he slowly lowered his head, lost in thought.

Moments later, a triumphant smile graced his lips as he emerged from the restroom.

Not bad, not bad—seems like I'm developing in every way.

If he were in an adult manga, he'd probably outshine a hundred female protagonists.

And it got better; he discovered his special ability.

By simply thinking "Void," a silver ripple appeared to his side.

Within that ripple, his detailed information and numerical data were displayed.

[Creator: Luo Shu]

[Life Level: Mortal Realm (First Stage)]

[Theoretical Lifespan: 70 years]

[Divine Right Gem: 0]

He could clearly feel that this ripple was part of him, an extension of his existence.

He sensed an absolute connection.

The "Void" function had a singular capability, termed "Manifestation of Fantasy."

As long as he had sufficient Divine Right Gems as energy, he could create anything from human imagination—whether it be the bamboo-copter from Doraemon, Android 18 from Dragon Ball, or the glowing egg fried rice from Chinese Cooking Master…

He could manifest anything from humanity's fantasy works into reality.

A youthful version of God, indeed.

He also understood how to acquire Divine Right Gems.

Whenever someone believed or recognized something he said or created, he would receive Divine Right Gems in return.

The deeper the belief and wider the recognition, the more gems he would obtain.

And even without spending gems, if he focused on someone, information would appear above their heads.

It was like having an additional "True Sight" skill—immensely valuable in modern society.

This was simply absurd.

Luo Shu smiled brightly.

Calm down.

Calm down.

It's just a little ability—what traveler doesn't have one?

And it's clearly a developing type of ability that won't be of much use right away.

What mattered now were practical issues like where to have lunch and where to stay tonight.

He took deep breaths, self-affirming to regain his composure.

Suddenly—

"Master, what do you charge for a reading?"

A lively and cute voice broke through.

Luo Shu looked up in surprise, instantly entranced.

Ah!

So pale.

No.

So big!

[Hoshino Ai]

[Age: 15.333 years]

[Occupation: Idol Trainee]

[Fate: Heavenly Voice (light blue), Fragile Beauty (light red), Blessed with Offspring (light red)]

[Lifespan: 20 years]

[Status: Confused (considering whether to date)]

She was a girl with a playful smile, exuding charm.

Dressed in fashionable brands, her violet eyes sparkled like a six-pointed star.

"Hoshino Ai…"

Luo Shu instinctively spoke her name.

"Do you know me, Master?"

Hoshino Ai's eyes widened in surprise.

Luo Shu smiled calmly, as if he held all the answers within him.

"Just some tricks from preliminary research."

A nearby onmyouji with a little mustache scoffed, revealing Luo Shu's "act."

But Hoshino Ai didn't care, her curiosity directed solely at the man before her.

The onmyouji had no idea that she wasn't from Chiba City but was an idol trainee visiting for a performance, her presence in the park a spontaneous decision without any identification.

Wait...

How did this handsome master know her name?

The thought made her a bit suspicious.

She scrutinized the master before her.

He appeared to be in his early twenties, with striking features and an elegant demeanor.

He was tall, clad in a black fitted robe with a moon-white wide-sleeved mage's cloak over it.

The sleeves and collar were intricately embroidered with golden phoenixes, poised for flight.

He wore revealing black gloves that extended to his forearms, and two silk ribbons adorned with mysterious characters hung down from his shoulders.

Extremely refined.

In the breeze, the ribbons swayed, and the unintelligible characters seemed to come alive.

He exuded grace, mystery, and grandeur.

More importantly...

Her skin was so flawless it stirred feelings of jealousy within her.

He truly wasn't just an ordinary person!
