概要

Heaven, hell, and the world themselves have forgotten a prominent figure that once stood at the pinnacle. Alas, the said figure himself forgot who he was. Lyon is a young man who lived a leisurely life on earth. Not much was said except that he enjoyed such a life. However, one fateful night sent him to the world where killing is not a sin, alchemy is a thing, and magic cultivation is not imaginary. Immediately after being sent to this world. He is met with a beautiful woman who rumbled the earth and cracked the very firmament under the mortals' eyes. Selena is her name. She claimed to be his wife, the first one of three. However, their meetings didn't last long due to circumstances that he has yet understood. With one wedding ring on his finger that contained half of his past power, he sets forth to find Cecile, the woman whom Selena said is a queen in Blue Continent, the other wife that he adored then. But, he lacked focus at times, and combined with his whimsical nature, he often finds himself, in unusual situations. His smirk and lazy demeanor brought nothing but trouble for himself and the others around him. His relentless nature of stealing, his rebellious adolescence year, and the capability to smile by the teeth of a gnawing dragon brought his charm to a height that fairies once forget. Though his perverted nature often gets them to scurry away almost immediately, those that stayed long enough to know him better, know the redeeming qualities of Lyon Torga as a whole. Regardless! His arrival in this world has rotated an old cog of fate that those old monsters and old kings in the ages of the ancients, would have never guessed to be working again.

Chapter 1Summoned

The dripping sound of rain was crashing on the window while thundering blasts from up above occasionally came down. The chill atmosphere was striking in every corner of the room, if people were to wear thin clothes they would surely have their teeth chattered. However, in this room, one young man was leisurely enjoying his hot bath despite the cold.

He had a ripped figure but his muscle was lean enough to make him look like a thin young man if he were to wear a slightly loose cloth. His long black hair was tied in a knot and his deep black eyes seemed to contain the universe it's self. He had a really charismatic face that would make people tend to gather around him the more one got to know him.

"Ah yes, this is the best weather for me, cold outside and warm inside ... so comfortable," said the young man as he slid deeper into the bathtub.

While occasionally blew out a bubble under the water his mind wandered to god knows what.

*Splash

"Ah, my hands get wrinkled... I shouldn't stay too long in the bathtub", said the young man before he continued, "Hehehe this is the benefits of living alone, I can go naked around the house, this is true freedom HAHAHA",

"Alright, some warm chocolate milk would do me good."

As he was stepping down the stairs to his living room, a flash of lightning illuminated the room from a nearby window. He instinctively covered his eyes while the thundering rage of the weather came down with a loud noise.

"Damn that thunder was so close,.. hm? what is that light? it's coming from the fridge" said the young man as he walked near it. "Maybe is a calling to another world? heh, no way right, man I'm so thirsty." as the young man held the handle on the fridge...

"Hmmm.. somehow I have a bad feeling about this....",

"You know what, I trust my instinct," the young man let go of the handle and walked away from it...

*RATTLE

The fridge was shaking and the young man turned back to look at it with a really nervous expression.

"Okay okay, I know I should open that fridge because fridge shaking by itself is not normal, but no I ain't gonna fall for that," said the young man as he ran to his room but only to stop in front of the door.

"Oi... this time is a black light..." black lines covered his head as he didn't know what's going on anymore.

"Ah, right this is a dream hah so stupid of me, maybe if I close my eyes everything would be back to normal."

The young man shut his eyes in the hope that he would wake up from this weird dream.

*Creak

The door suddenly opened crashing the little hope left within the young man. He knew how much it was for them. Gritting his teeth he opened his eyes and was greeted with a black vortex that was slowly sucking him.

"H-hey, since when did I ever keep something like this! Gah, where is my phone! Oh right, I'm still naked."

A tiny black light slowly came out of it and didn't waste any time before it flew right toward the young man with the surprised face.

His body and mind suddenly unified under one word, 'RUN'.

*Boom

The fridge opened and a white vortex appeared, A tiny white light coming out and soon flying to chase the young man too.

"This is a dream a DREAM !! I MEAN COME ON! DON'T YOU GUYS USUALLY USE A TRUCK?!" as he continues to run to the entrance of the house only to stop in front of the door...

"Of course why wouldn't there be a golden light !! ah, damn it !! I'm still naked!! You gonna send a guy naked?! AHH!!!" as he turned back only to saw the other two lights.

*swoosh

The three lights enveloped the young man as he disappeared from the earth.

Not reading the complete novel yet still reviewing it makes this review less authentic, however let me share my thoughts on it. *** 01. The Plot Mix-Up. The plot of the novel seems good and properly aligned to how a web novel should be. However, the author just dumped a whole lot of plot at the beginning. The start should've been slow with the MC exploring the world and raising his strength in the tutorial village. But suddenly his 'first wife' who's a succubus comes and unfolds the readers some damn big plot, which is a given. However it broke the link to the ongoing plot and made me feel that what's going on right now is a waste of time. In short, it just killed the tension a reader has for the Protagonist. The tension here was the question of how the MC is going to increase his strength and status, how would he survive in the new world. Also, after breaking the beginner plot with the huge plot, the beginner plot continues again which I found very weird. For me the plot just didn't flow naturally. 02. The Humiliated Protagonist. Okay, this point might create an argument since there are different types of readers. Some are casual, some are invested in the story but still independent, while others are immersive readers. I am the third kind, an immersive reader. For this reason I don't like if the MC is humiliated or acts like a loser. Since I'm reading a web novel, I'm here for the MC getting high in his life, getting all the wealth, women, power and status. However the beginning was a little disappointing for me. Yes, it's incorrect to criticize just for this since the plot would develop, however the starting chapters unfortunately didn't catch my interest. 03. Dumb MC Are dumb MC's bad? Of course not. If the story needs it, a dumb MC can enrich the plot. However, for a moment just imagine. You're suddenly transmigrated into another world. You don't know anything about it, except that you perhaps might be a Protagonist material according to the web novels you've read. You don't know anybody, and you don't know the intentions of the people around you. You don't know the world's history or culture, but you know that there are similar people like him that have come from other worlds. You don't have money or anything, and you didn't even have any clothes when you arrived. So would you make some bet to date a girl, or would you try your best to make yourself safe? Yes, the MC later acquires god-like powers and perhaps nobody would be able to harm him, but what I'm talking here was his attitude. Unfortunately I was here for some scheming and strategies and stuff like that, but the story beginning was a little different. *** In the end, this story is not for me, but it might be for you.
