It happened unexpectedly. Krystian was a rather peculiar case. On that quite unexpected day, Krystian had a really bad day. It was Monday, and the day at work was really tough for him. On that day, the manager assigned him the difficult task of moving heavy machine components. Since he wasn't physically strong, his progress was unsatisfactory for the manager.
As a result, the manager kept urging him on at fairly short intervals. This put a significant strain on Krystian's mental state that day.
In the past, whether during his school days when he was humiliated by others, or at home where the atmosphere wasn't very pleasant, an introverted nature developed within him over the years. He was limited to Discord friends or casual friends at work. Along with participating in numerous love contests and indulging in anime, comics, and games, Krystian developed an aggressive nature, enjoying dark fantasy and games with a lot of blood, like Doom.
When it came to novels and fanfics, Krystian developed a liking for stories set on an island where the main character could be arrogant and ruthless. Motives of bloody revenge truly satisfied him.
Krystian also had a strong attraction to the opposite sex. Art portraying heroines from Marvel and DC, or humanoid monsters with attractive figures, served as great motivation for him to read fanfics and have fun.
However, even thoughts about sexy heroines couldn't improve Krystian's mood, mainly due to his past experiences and the natural loneliness and boredom of life. These things had taken a toll on his psyche. However, something happened as he left the workplace. It was both the most dangerous and the most beautiful sight of his life. The sky was incredibly bright outside, and when he looked up, the sight he saw took his breath away.
Meteors fell from the sky, not huge ones, but they rained down in sizes comparable to tennis balls. The remarkable thing was that they fell from the sky like rain, and upon impact with the ground, each formed a grand crater, showcasing the immense speed of these celestial stones.
Later, when Krystian failed to catch one, he decided to return to the workplace. However, before he reached the door, he heard a muffled sound and felt a slight pressure on the back of his head, causing him to pass out.
The next moment, as Krystian regained consciousness, he was overwhelmed by an excruciating pain throughout his body. The sensation of pain in every muscle, bone, and organ was entirely new to him. He felt a strong urge to vomit, but lying flat on the ground, he couldn't even attempt to do so.
After what seemed like an eternity, the pain gradually began to subside, allowing Krystian to focus on something other than the agony.
As the pain slightly lessened, Krystian started to pay closer attention to his current condition. Firstly, he tasted the earth in his mouth, an unpleasant experience. Secondly, he felt the cold wind against the backs of his legs and the back of his head.
(Krystian) - "What the fuck..."
Krystian, in pain and numbness, slowly lifted his right hand off the ground and cautiously touched the back of his body. As he pulled his hand away, he realized that his clothes had been torn apart. With a jolt of pain, he managed to rise to his feet.
(Krystian) - "I'm fucking naked... Fuck... Where the fuck am I?... Wooooo..."
The sight he witnessed literally took his breath away. He found himself on a stony island with gritty black soil. The island had a perfectly circular shape and was completely flat. The surrounding space was incredibly beautiful, filled with vibrant colors, with purple dominating the scene. It resembled a cosmos, adorned with nebulae and sparkling lights. Although there were no rare planets in sight, the view was still breathtakingly beautiful.
As Krystian surveyed the island, he noticed a massive circular stone frame with a platform, resembling the gateway from the TV series "Stargate." Next to it was a peculiar stone device, resembling an ATM but shaped more like a tablet integrated into a stone slab. Curiosity piqued, he approached it and realized it was a screen or tablet emitting a voice from within.

Recognized... host... Hello #0000000001, Multiverse Traveler Experiment.

Moments later, a menu appeared on the tablet screen. It was divided into three options: "Worlds," "Dungeons," and "Status." The appearance of the screen was intriguing, with a black background and white inscriptions and raven symbols in the corners.
(Krystian) - "Experiment... fucking... hold on, let me process this... What the fuck is going on?"
Krystian pondered the situation for a while. Initially, he experienced a surge of euphoria, trying to confirm whether it was all a dream by pinching himself. However, he didn't wake up. Thoughts of his family briefly crossed his mind, but upon reflection, he realized that even if he hadn't been magically transported, he would still be dead. This alternative, despite its strangeness, seemed preferable to him. With a smile on his face, Krystian proceeded to explore the available options, starting with the "Worlds" category.
The worlds menu appeared extensive, displaying a long list. The first option on the list was a random world, available free of charge.
Subsequent tabs displayed various categories such as anime, movies, comics, books, games, and more. It appeared as a simple strip with the name of each category printed on it. When Krystian clicked on the "Comics" tab, numerous sub-categories appeared, including Marvel, DC, and even "Bolek and Lolek." Clicking on the first option in the list, which was Marvel, revealed a vast array of Marvel worlds, such as Earth-616 and many more. Each world had a name displayed in parentheses, like "FemalePowerful" with a precious gold value of 10,000 and an icon of an evil white coin.
With so many worlds available, Krystian was genuinely perplexed about how to choose among them. The value of each world would likely be a significant factor. However, the prospect of a world filled with beautiful women who would be impressed by his superpowers and his stronger physique was appealing enough for him to momentarily overlook his unattractive appearance, unkempt teeth, and overall thin build. He believed he might have a chance, especially after seeing the system, hoping it could change his fate.
The "Dungeons" tab was more intriguing, resembling a shop rather than a tab. It featured numerous categories like skills, clothing, armor, melee, throwing, magic, and many more subcategories. There were countless options to choose from. For instance, selecting a saber from the "White Weapons" category opened up even more subcategories. Choosing the sabers of the Polish Nobility, for example, revealed the difficulty level of the dungeon, which happened to be very easy, the lowest difficulty available among a long list.
The last option was "Status," and it appeared like this:
[Insert description of the "Status" tab here.]
------------------------------------
STATUS
Name: Krystian
Race: Human
Health condition: Healthy
Power level: 60PP
Title:None
Armament:None
Skill:
Passive Skill:
Magic:
-----------------------
Seeing his status and the entire system, Krystian smiled with satisfaction and decided to search for something to arm himself with, but to his disappointment, there seemed to be nothing available. After a moment of irritation, he shifted his focus to finding suitable clothing in the "Clothes" tab. After a lengthy search, he finally found something that suited him:
[Jeans Pants, Very Easy Level]
As he clicked on the option in the menu, the massive stone portal began to activate. First, black sparks emerged from the center, followed by the formation of a black portal within the frame.
With no other options in sight, Krystian felt his excitement growing. He turned towards the portal and exclaimed with anticipation:
(Krystian) - "Now, let's begin."
