Jon retrieved the paper with 'Grab' spell and sat on the ground thinking what should he do.

"So the enchantments on the Dwarven Centurions was part of the answer… But a Zero Gravity area is not easy to build with magic. Actually, it is impossible to negate all the gravitational force coming from the planet and then enchant a whole 40*50 meters area with no power source whatsoever… It is impossible even if you are Divayth Freaking Fyr."

Jon sat on the ground and started making the calculations again and again with every Aspect and Effect he knows of but they were all not possible by 'Mortal Means'.

"Technically, it is possible to make the Dwarven Centurions resist the Zero Gravity without enchantments! They are dead objects so there is no need to go through all the trouble as it won't affect them anyway because you CAN'T POSSIBLY CREATE SUCH A GRAVITY FREE ZONE WITH MAGIC! IT IS AGAINST THE NATURAL LAW SO THIS IS NOT A ZERO GRAVITY ROOM!"

At this part, Jon was absorbed in the mystery of the room and didn't even think about the cube anymore. He just sat there and began studying.

***

On the top floor of Tel Fyr, six Dark Elves were watching while nodding.

"It is true, it is against the natural law. He surely picked that up fast!"

"Fufu! Don't look down on my apprentice, Beyte. He is not even trying just yet."

"Said the one who fell on her knees just a minute ago and begged Lord Fyr to take him out."

"Alfe, leave me alone."

"I actually didn't think he would be able to kill the Bull Kagouti and even reach to the Puzzle Room, you have a good apprentice Nurina."

"Thank you, Delte. Sorry for worrying you."

"Excuse me, Lord Fyr. But how did he manage to reach the Puzzle Room? And what is that Cube he is aiming for?" Uupse asked the Elderly Dark Elf who was sitting on his chair and watching Jon.

"Hmmm… A dear and old friend of mine built this room with me so we can watch a few good challenges together. The Cube was something he worked on to be something similar to a masterpiece he created long ago. Alas, he passed away before we receive our first challenger." The man spoke in a normal tone that reflected some of his sadness.

The five ladies were shocked with the emotion Lord Divayth Fyr showed. The man who was mostly indifferent and expressionless was speaking softly.

"As for how he got there, he used the old big pipe. And the reason behind him targeting the Cube should be… fate!"

***

Back to Jon who was in the middle of a brainstorm.

He was sometimes writing and sometimes looking around like crazy while counting stuff and making things in order.

"So it is not a gravity spell as I said, it is simply a levitation spell. But that still doesn't make any sense. The Space negates all sorts of 'Waterwalking', 'Levitation', and 'Teleportation' spells. So how can it be possible that… Oh!"

Jon jumped up and looked around again.

"The Space! The answer is the Space!"

Jon was happy for some reason and he collected the tools he took out and put them back on his bag.

The answer he arrived for was that the Gravity Law in the room was not enchanted, it was the Space that was enchanted to make anything in the surrounding levitate including dead objects. The dormant Dwarven Centurions were all distractions. A facade to make the challenger not focus on the main issue. Levitation was applied onto space and the Dwarven Animunculi were all here to make it look like they are not flying around because of the 'Resist Gravity' effect. The truth was that they are stuck to the ground and are not going to move by all means.

The Dwarven Spiders were put behind the walls to make a background effect and distract from focusing on the main issue. The focus tends to flatter away when a lot of threats are around.

Even the Dwarven Spider that Jon met outside the room was there to give the illusion that they can come out easily so the challengers had to be wary all the time.

Now, none of that was even the main issue.

Jon had to find a way to navigate across the levitation area and avoid any of the traps that he didn't even find yet. Still, he had an idea where they are.

'In the space, just like the enchantment!'

Jon realized that the traps are not in this version of reality. They were applied on space and designed to be activated once space they are connected to gets messed with.

Jon spread his detection far and wide then retrieve it and focused it around his eyes. He then opened his eyes and activated his new version of detection, the 'Third Eye' or the 'Eye of the Mind'.

What he saw next was something out of a fairy tale. It was simply marvelous.

In the empty place in front of him, a lot of rune circle with all sizes and colors were filling the space.

It looked like a festival of magic that was about to be unleashed when a small thing is just to touch one of those.

They were all beautiful magic circles that were imprinted on the space but each and every one of them is deadly without a doubt. One wrong move and death is a certain thing. All these magic traps were all around the third section of the room filling of the space.

"Hehehe! Now that's what I call a trap."

Jon shook his head helplessly as he had no idea who to bypass that trap.

He was lost in its beauty and wonder to the point that he was just simply standing there doing nothing.

He knew that the moment he steps in there, he will be just moving around with no control over himself in a 'Zero Gravity Mimicking Levitation Space'.

"Or maybe… can it be another round of Hopscotch?"

Jon had this funny idea that seemed to be very unreal but when he thought about it, it actually became visible to him.

'I see, that rune and that rune… shut up! Can it be really done that way?'

Jon started making his calculations once again and detected the safest route to the Cube.

"Sigh! Here goes nothing."

Jon walked into the space and completely submitted himself to the Levitation force. Once he was in, there was no room for mistakes.

He calmed down and tried to reach clarity then opened his eyes and pushed himself slowly and very carefully towards a certain white magic circle in the space.

He kept flying slowly until he reached the circle. Once he put his hand on it, he felt like it had a matter and reassembled a platform in the middle of space.

"Genius!"

He couldn't help but praise.

Jon then stepped on the circle and jumped pushed himself through the space towards the other one, and from it to the other the third and the fourth.

A minute later, Jon was floating in front of the Dwemer Cube.

"Hehe! Found you!"

Jon was feeling great but he had to be cautious of any hidden trap around the Cube.

The Cube was surrounded by a glass container and was locked with a key. The keyhole was protected with magic and could only be locked by a key.

"... Or our good old lockpicks."

Jon took out some lockpicks from his bach and isolated the magic in the keyhole from interfering with the picks. Luckily, it didn't require a certain key to open the lock as the lockpicks were already doing their charm and…

*tink*

The lock opened safely and Jon could open the display and stretch his hands in.

Of course, just like any cliche story, once Jon held the Cube in his hand, shit went down.

First, the 'Levitation' enchantment on the Space got disabled and all the traps on the Space also disappeared.

Jon who was floating fell on his face.

"Ouch… okay! I saw that one coming so I won't complain… no, I am complaining! Why are you guys moving?"

Jon looked around and saw a horde of Dwarven Animunculi swarming from left and right. All the Dwarven Spiders and the Dwarven Spheres, that he assumed won't be moving, all came towards him at once.

*TINK* *FEEEEEEHHHH*

*TINK TINK TINK*

*STOMP STOMP*

Jon heard a more unpleasant sound behind him and lo and behold the three Dwarven Centurion that just came back to life.

"So you guys were to come out when the cube is taken? Tsk, how dirty!"

Jon already collected the prize and was in no mood to stay. The third section's traps were all removed but the 'No Teleportation, No Levitation' rules were still applied.

More to that, on higher platforms, some new faces entered the scene. A total of ten Dwarven Ballistas came out and aimed their big bolts at Jon.

"Perfect! I guess, it is time for me to go."

Jon started walking slowly while smiling to the Dwarven Spiders and Spheres around him. He then broke into running towards the second section.

All sorts of projectiles were shot at him yet he reacted faster and increased his speed to the limit. With, only a few meters away from the second section, Jon got ready to take the show to an end.

"Ladies, this is the day you'll always remember as the day you almost caught Captain Jon Dare. WULD NAH KEST!"

***

All I can remember next was causing a big explosion after going through the second section with the 'Whirlwind Sprint' Shout and the shockwave sent me flying through the first section.

I then landed outside it and used the 'Teleportation Scroll' to return back to the Onyx Hall.

The ones received me were Nurina, the Fyr sisters and an elderly Dark Elf with silver hair that I directly recognized as Lord Divayth Fyr.

"Apprentice Jonhild Firemane pays his respect to Great Grandmaster."

I mimicked some of these wuxia novels when an apprentice greats a great master. Divayth Fyr is the greatest master after all.

"Haha! Divayth Freaking Fyr accepts your respect."

Oh boy! He must have heard it.

I felt like being struck by lightning but it seemed Lord Fyr took it as a joke.

"Sigh… Heroes! They get luckier every century." Lord Fyr sighed and spoke with a smile. "This Cube, why did you choose it?"

Lord Fyr asked me a question I was really trying to figure out an answer for. I can't possibly say that a creepy incorporeal entity that dwells inside me had the gave me a hint.

"A creepy incorporeal entity that dwells inside me had the gave me a hint."

"Ahaha! Amazing, you have one of those." Lord Fyr laughed it off, "By the way, that Cube was made by my dearest friend so I will lend it to you, whoever of us dies first then the cube will belong to the living one."

Oh! It seems the Cube is really precious and holds a sentimental value for Lord Fyr. I wanted to return it back but I really went through some crazy troubles to get my hands on it.

"Deal!"

"Good then. I hope to see you once you have grown into the best promise of yourself. Until then." Lord Fyr said and turned away.

I was holding myself not to blush the whole time.

This is Lord Fyr. I don't want to sound like a pervert but when he patted my shoulder just a while ago, I vowed to not ever let anything touch it again. I am considering removing it and keeping it in a museum.

Once he turned around and left, Beyte and Uupse followed him and I got introduced to Delte who arrived just a while ago.

After that, Nurina took me to the side.

"Brat! Do you know what did you just take?"

She was speaking and beams of joy were shooting from her eyes.

"Nope, I just felt it is the best thing in there."

"Damn, you are so lucky. Listen closely, the place you went in was an old Dwemer Ruin that got 'relocated' under Tel Fyr by Lord Fyr and a close friend of his."

"Aha! I see, so that friend is the expert in the Dwemer artifacts."

"I am glad you noticed."

"Hey, was it Yagrum Bagarn?"

"No, it is not. I doubt that he would want to do anything related to Lord Fyr's personal sport."

Not Yagrum Bagarn, the last living Dwemer? Then who was it?

"The room you was in is called the 'Puzzle Room'. It was created by the efforts of Lord Fyr and his venerable friend and you just beat it and took its most important treasure. You brat has beaten the work of Dungeon Master who is specialized in Magic and a Puzzle Master who is specialized in Dwemer Technology."

I gulped a mouthful of saliva.

"Damn!"

I clearly realized what I just did.

"Who is Lord Fyr's friend? And what is that artifact?"

Nurina sighed and calmed down then said some words that I doubt my sanity afterward.

"The friend is Sotha-Sil and the artifact is the 'Haven Cube'."

[AN: the Haven Cube is inspired by the mod 'Haven Bag by Haishao. Just an immersive and lore-friendly version of it.]

As they did their talking, Ermos went wandering anyway. He approached the fiery well of blue-lava and gazed down into it, feeling the immense heat against his face. It could probably melt a whole pear in an instant. He decided to test it, reaching for the last pear that he had hidden in his sleeve.
He stuck it on the end of an old rod of iron that he had just found and he plunged it into the lava, before quickly pulling it out again. The whole thing had immediately turned black and bubbles formed beneath the surface as juice was spat out. It was easy to imagine from that how it might affect a human.
Out of the corner of his eye, he spied something even more interesting. A bronze cube that sparkled as the blue light of the lava reflected off it. It had been discarded on the floor, just by the well, as though someone had tripped up and dropped it, only to fall straight into a fiery death. He picked it up and examined it with a curious eye.
It was made of lots of different smaller cubes, or so it appeared. Sixteen small bronze cubes made up each side of it. He wondered whether it was hollow, with a treasure inside and he held it up to his ear and rattled it.
"I think master might have discovered something," Ermos heard Pash say, drawing the attention of the group towards him. "Where did you find that master? It looks like a puzzle."
"On the floor," Ermos said, pointing to the spot where he found it.
"A puzzle, you say?" Mane repeated, plucking the cube from Ermos' hand without asking.
"Hey-!" Ermos tried to protest, but it seemed he was being ignored.
"Try pressing in the squares on each side," Pash said," they might give way to something."
A frown appeared on Mane's face as he concentrated on the cube inside his hand. He fiddled with it all he could, but didn't seem to be making any progress.
"What does that have to do with the keys though?" Cherry asked, not quite understanding.
"I'm not sure yet," Pash admitted, "but we have no other clues, so we might as well explore this one."
Lucifan was scowling in the background, apparently having taken Mane's threat seriously.
"Can we not blast through these doors as well? Or maybe if we all pushed at the same time, they'd have to swing open, wouldn't they?" Fer suggested.
"You can try," Mane said, "but they seem rather solid. I do not want to risk dulling my blade on them."
Given a little task of his own, Fer was only too pleased. He went away like a happy rabbit and began trying to push on the door. Ermos could tell that he wasn't going to get anywhere, but it was fun to watch.
Quickly, Mane grew frustrated with the cube's puzzle and he tossed it to Pash. "Doesn't seem like a puzzle to me. None of its squares will budge."
"I'll try it anyway," Pash said, giving the cube his focus, "there might be a little trick to it." Ermos noticed that his apprentice was growing more confident the more time they spent underground. He was able to finally use that cleverness of his. Ermos was pleased for him.
His apprentice fiddled away with his fingers like he was a master puzzle solver. He tried all sorts of different things, shaking it – to which Ermos proudly thought 'I tried that!' – and then twisting it. It was twisting it that had the first effect. The top row of the cube spun round all at once.
"Oh…" Cherry said in awe.
"You're onto something there lad," Mane said encouragingly.
All the while, Fer was beating on the iron doors with a vigour, calling out his battle cry against them, using his palms to strike at it, thinking that he would be able to open them by mere heart alone. As Mane had warned him, he refrained from using his sword.
With the first row twisted, Pash did something else with his fingers and a square pushed in. To Ermos, it was like watching a magic trick. He had no idea what was going on. Had it been him, he would have tried throwing it against the stone floor as hard as he could, and, when that didn't work, he would have given up.
His fingers went to work once more and he pushed in another section of the cube, only, this time, something slid out. "Key one," he said, holding up a bronze bar with little teeth carved into its centre, whilst it was still square at both ends from where it had sat in the cube.
Mane shook his head in admiration. Everyone present felt the same. Unless they had been told exactly what to do, no one would have figured it out.
From there, it was a quick process for Pash. He took the cube apart hand piece by piece until he was left with five bars that he deemed to be 'keys' and the rest he discarded as useless. "They were pretty confident, just leaving their keys lying in plain sight," Pash commented as he handed them over to Mane.
"No… I think they just didn't expect anyone to be able to break into their puzzle," Mane said back. "You're a bright lad. Are you sure the path of a swordsman is the one you're meant to walk? The Slash is in dire need of strategists. With my recommendation, you could start a strategy apprenticeship by the beginning of next week."
"Really? Thank you!" Pash said enthusiastically, before turning back to look at Ermos and slowing down slightly. "…But, I can't take you up on that offer. I want to become the strongest warrior in the Slash, not just a strategist."
"A difficult road... If you wish to be the strongest, you will soon have to overtake me. But, if you find a way to use that mind of yours as a weapon, and I'm sure you'll see your strength soar up," Mane said.

Have you read One-Punch Man? Did you enjoy it? Then this novel is surely for you!

It strives to be a novel that can be enjoyed by anyone. Our main character is a loveable fool with a godly strength to his sword.

Several years before the beginning of the story, Ermos Windbreaker finds himself to have a talent with the sword. With the arrival of a wandering warrior in his village, he decides that he will challenge him, though he had yet to own a sword of his own. There he racks up his first victory, wood against steel. Though, as it happens, no one saw that duel of his and they dismissed his claims as the rantings of a mad fool.

A peculiar case of bad luck followed him around for a while. He would demonstrate his strength whenever he got the chance, but there was never anyone around to witness it.
That was, until he met Pash. In a village southeast of the Untamed Forest, a grimy boy was wandering through houses abandoned by war, searching for food to fill his belly. It happens that was very same village the infamous Bored Bandits had set up camp in. They seize the boy with the intent of selling him as a slave.

Ermos wanders by with much the same intent as Pash – that of searching the abandoned houses for food and wealth – and he too attracts the attention of the bandit crew. He manages to defeat them with the same accidental ease that he had won all his duels in. Seeing such strength, Pash begs that he take him on as his apprentice.

Not entirely understanding the responsibility of a master’s position, Ermos agrees. The two of them spend three years questing for their fortunes, but cursed with Ermos’ notoriously bad luck, nothing ever comes of it. Ermos turns to gambling – being the fool that he is – to try and reverse his fortunes, only to land himself in a terrible amount of debt.

The weight of that debt finally gets to him, and he loses the enthusiasm he once had, working himself into a rut. That is, until, he meets a drunk trader on the road who offers him ‘magic stones’ in return for his horse. Of course, Ermos accepts, not realizing that he is being fooled. But as fortune would have it, a scam points him in the right direction and he explores the ancient ruins of the Stone Tree.

"Shelly you're up! I need your help figuring out this puzzle." Maou and Arthur angrily twisted and turned something in their hands.

"Argh! I can't do this!" Maou handed me what looked like a puzzle cube with the colours all mixed up. "I can't figure it out. Help me, please."

"Fine." I reluctantly took the puzzle cube Maou handed to me.

"Here. I'm going to liea back down. I'm having a horrible headache. Keep the noise down please." I had an immense headache from that nightmare and just wanted some quietness.

"HOW! WHEN!" Arthur and Maou shouted as they stared at the puzzle cube. 

"Guys, the noise, please." I covered my ears from how loud they were.

"How did you figure it out so quickly?!" Maou looked at the cube dumbfounded. 

"Can you do mine next. Please." Arthur handed his to me. 

"Okay but look closely this time." 

"Here. Did you two get that?" I handed the cube to Arthur and they looked even more confused and amazed.

"In all my years of magic and fighting, I've never seen this sorcery before." Maou held the cube examining it.

"How are you so good?" Arthur asked.

"Back at the orphanage we all got a puzzle cube for one of our birthdays and everyday we would compete to see who could complete it the fastest. I always came in third but that was back when the older children were still living there." I massaged in-between my eyes trying to relieve my headache.

"Teach us, please." Maou and Arthur grabbed my hands

"I really don't have the mental strength for this right now." I refused.

"PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE!" They begged looking me dead in my eyes passionately. 

"Argh! Fine." I agreed buckling under the pressure.

 "There is a simple technique for beginners to get good quickly. Look closely." I unfixed the puzzle cube. 

"You twist the top then twist the right side and repeat until it's fixed. That should be simple enough." I showed them the fixed cube. "Keep practicing while I lay down for a bit and keep the noise down."

"Did you get that?" Maou asked Arthur confused.

"Nope. Me neither." Arthur replied also confused. "Shelly went lightning speed and expected us to get that by saying it's simple and for beginners."

"Shelly sucks at teaching, honestly." Maou rolled his eyes in frustration. 

"This ungrateful little baby!" I thought to myself annoyed and angry clenching my fist.

"Growl!" 
"I'm starving right now." Maou held his belly slouching in the seat.

"We should be stopping soon, I think." Arthur continued struggling with the puzzle cube. "Is it noon yet?"

"I'm not sure but I think it's noon." Maou looked out the window.

"Oh! We're pulling off the road and slowing down it seems." We stopped in a small clearing next to the forest that had low grass and fewer trees than everywhere else so far.

"Could it be...?" Maou perked up with excitement.

Mr. Frederick unmounted the driver's seat and made his way to the carriage. He opened the door. "Sir Arthur, Sir Maou and Lady Shelly. We will be having a short lunch break. You can enjoy the outside scenery if you would like while I prepare the food."

"Yes! ~Finally, some fresh air~." Maou sang, rolling on the grassy ground. "~Green grass and the warm sun.~ ~What can compare?" 

"That looks fun. I wanna try that too!" Arthur and Maou together, rolled in the grass enjoying themselves. They really were like little kids.

"Shelly. You have to join us. It's super fun, try it." Maou invited me.

"I'm good. You have your fun. I'll just sit in the carriage." I refused lying down in the carriage to stay out of the sun.

"Boo! Boo! Shelly is no fun." Maou jeered trying to get me to join him.

"It's not going to work. I'm too smart for that Maou." I calmly replied.

"Fine, be like that. I guess we'll just have all this fun, just me and Arthur." Maou spoke in a tempting tone. "All this smooth and fresh green grass. This warm and beautiful sunlight."

"Shelly, Maou is right, it's beautiful outside. It really would help your headache."  Arthur advised. 

"Fine! I'm coming, give me a minute." I sluggishly pulled myself out the carriage.

The bright sunlight greeted my eyes harshly and I squinted as my eyes slowly adjusted. Maou grabbed my hand and pulled me out onto the flat grassland. 

"Lie down." Maou and Arthur spread out on the grass fluttering their arms, creating grass angels.

As I lay down, I felt the soft bright green grass squish, forming a soft cushion for me. The Sun was not hot and scorching but rather it was like a warm blanket as the skies were slightly overcast, lowering the heat. 

"It really is nice out here." I admitted feeling relaxed. The relaxing and calming atmosphere actually made my headache and stress from earlier slowly ease away. 

"Sir Arthur, Sir Maou and Lady Shelly. Lunch is ready." Mr. Frederick stood next to a large cloth. An assortment of food was placed down with everything set up under the shade of a tree very close by.

"Food!" Arthur and Maou got up racing. I slowly followed behind, as I only ate a few pieces of watermelon. So I was most definitely hungry around this time.

On the cloth there were sandwiches, watermelon slices and tea.

"Why do these look so... triangle like?" Maou was a bit confused.

"Have you never had a sandwich before Maou-sensei?" Arthur asked surprised, hearing this for the first in his life.

"No, I don't think I have ever had one before actually." Maou put a hand on his chin while thinking back. "Food has changed since back in my day." 

"Has it really?" Arthur asked chewing on a sandwich.

"Very much so." Maou took a bite from one of the sandwiches. 

"Yum! This is really good. What is it made of?" Maou opened the bread slices and looked inside.

"It is mashed potatoes with salt and soy beans." Mr. Frederick explained. "I hope it is to your liking Sir Maou."

"Yes, I really like this." Maou started eating speedily and washing it down with the tea

"Hey! Don't have it all to yourself." I picked up my pace in eating as I wasn't going to be left behind like the other times.

"Frederick, eat some before it's gone." Arthur followed. Stuffing his mouth with the food.

"Please don't worry about me Sir Arthur. You all seem to enjoy the sandwiches greatly and I am most happy watching you eat." Mr. Frederick had mostly mint tea with a few slices of watermelon but had a little happy smile as he watched us eat the majority of food.

"Gulp! Gulp! Gulp! Ahhh!" Arthur, Maou and I washed down the sandwiches and watermelon slices with the mint tea and we fell onto our backs into the soft grass. The lunch was good. Just then a cool gust of wind flew by. It was so cool and enchanting as it massaged our faces. Soon after, we fell asleep, leaving Mr. Frederick to watch over us.

***DISCLAIMER***

The first Chapter has the slight mention of goblin r*pe. If that is too much for you, You can skip to the second Chapter and be just fine. It also has gore.

He looked around, nothing could be seen in this darkness. He extended his hand outward and used his magic staff to try to feel obstacles, like a blind man feeling his way. In a way, he really was blind here. He moved around several steps in random directions, his staff didn't bump into anything. It felt like this space was really spacious. He was considering maybe he should just go back the way he came from, how could he find any clue in such a dark place? Then he realized he didn't know which way the door was. Once the door was shut, it blended into the darkness. He didn't memorize its direction so he was completely lost now. He thought to himself that he should have prepared something like a flashlight or at least a makeshift torch before he came.
He was not afraid of the dark, but being lost in the dark without knowing what's inside the room and which way to go could be very unsettling. When he thought about casting either Mana Bullet or Energy Bolts, as they both emit a brief light that might allow him a glimpse to the room, a hum sounded. He tensed up. It was like the sound of a machine starting up. He casted Magic Shield instead and took out his sword.
Bright light flashed abruptly around him, completely illuminated the room. Jack shut his eyes as they could not cope with such drastic change. He opened them slightly and let them gradually adjusted to the bright light. When he could finally see things, he realized he was in a large room with oval shape. The curved wall was covered with metallic sheet that reflected light. The source of the bright light itself was from the floor. The entire floor was a series of glazed panes that radiated light from underneath. The ceiling was over ten meters height with a dark background and small dots of light crowded around it. It created the feeling of outdoor setting under a starry night sky. Yet the most astonishing sight was at the center of the room. A series of random blocks were floating over a round pedestal. He could feel a strange aura from those floating blocks.
He looked back and saw the door which he had come from. He inspected the surrounding walls and noticed that it was the only door. That meant there was no more stage after this. Whatever the Lizardman was guarding, it was in this place. But he could not see anything resembling a clue in this place. So he was mistaken, there was no trace in this place as to what had caused the changes to the world. He told himself not to be somber, if following game world rules, there should at least be a treasure here, otherwise there was no need for a guard. The only thing out of place were the floating blocks, so he approached the pedestal.
The whole setup was rather big once he was near. The pedestal height was half way to his chest. Its circumference couldn't be covered even if he used two hands to hug it. Each of the floating blocks above was larger than a basketball, and they were irregular boxy shapes. None of the blocks were identical. There was a panel on one side of the pedestal. There was no button to press so he assumed the panel was touchscreen. He touched it with his finger. No response. Upon closer inspection, he saw a thin slit beside the panel. The width was the size of a card. He looked at the card that was still being held in his hand. Maybe this card could also be used here? He slid the card inside. When it was halfway, a force suddenly sucked the card in. It slipped from his fingers and went all the way inside the panel.
"Crap! I can't take it out anymore," he lamented.
Some undeciphered voice suddenly sounded out. It was like the sound of a broken computer. The panel lit up, then a holographic image appeared in front of the panel. It was an image of multiple blocks. He looked at the floating blocks above and then looked at the image. They were the same. Fascinated, he moved his finger to touch the hologram. The block image which he touched was moved following the motion of his finger. He heard a sound and looked up and saw one of the floating blocks moved.
So the hologram from the panel was a control panel to move the floating blocks. But what's the point? He studied the holographic blocks. It was much easier compared to the floating blocks above, they were too big and so it was difficult to see the whole picture. After observing for a while, he thought he might have grasped the secret. The blocks were some sort of puzzle. They looked disconnected to each other but some pieces he noticed had edges that might fit with each other if brought together.
Excited, he started to work on the blocks. He moved the blocks around and tried different combinations. It was not easy, as the blocks were not able to move freely, there were some invisible patterns that he needed to follow in order for them to move, which made the effort harder. But he enjoyed the process. One other hobby he had other than playing VR games was playing puzzle games. Whether it was computer game puzzles or traditional block or jigsaw puzzles, he played them frequently during his free time.
There were more than a hundred blocks in the holographic constellation in front of him, solving it would take a long time. Without realizing it, time flew by. It took him around two hours to complete half of the blocks. There was now a colossal half cube floating above the pedestal, the remaining blocks scattered around it. It took him another two hours to complete another one quarter. Strange, he assumed it would be easier when the blocks became fewer, instead he used more time to complete fewer blocks as it became more completed. He realized it was due to invisible link that allowed the block's movements. At the start, there was more freedom to move the blocks around. As more were completed, the links decreased. He could only move them in a limited way now, which increased the difficulty.
After being aware of this rule, he decided not to rashly connect the blocks anymore. If the final block was left with a link that cannot fix with the rest of the cube, he might end up failing the puzzle. He was not sure if he could have a redo if he failed.
It was around twenty blocks left now. He studied them all and visualize their possible movement patterns. Like a chess player figuring out several moves ahead. Good thing he brought a pen and paper in his inventory. It didn't provide any effect but he was used to carrying them around. He used them to write notes and draw maps on important landmarks when he travelled. He jotted down the possible movements of the blocks onto the paper, and imagined several simulations. He tried several configurations on paper to make sure he could complete the entire blocks. He met several dead ends when arriving at the last few pieces and had to redo them again on new paper.
He was glad that he realized this early, or else he would have failed the puzzle. But as each configuration failed, he was worried that maybe he had made a mistake prior, so the remaining blocks might no longer be possible to be completed. He drove away the pessimistic thought and continued to work on the puzzle. On his forty-sixth tries, he finally reached the last piece and got the completed configurations.
"Yes!" He screamed out. A sense of achievement was always there whenever he completed a puzzle, that's why he enjoyed them so much.
He followed the configurations recorded in the last paper. He carefully moved the blocks. If he made the wrong move, then it would waste all his simulation efforts just now. When the last piece was inserted into the cube, the hologram vanished. He saw the floating cube started to hum and glowed. It began to revolve, slowly at first but then the rotation was so fast that he could no longer saw the cube shape, it looked more like a round object now. Several electrical discharges shot out from the cube.
Jack moved away, afraid that the electrical discharges might cause him damage.
Suddenly there was a bright flash followed by a loud explosion.

He was about to join the beta test on the newest VR games, Second World.

But an anomaly threw him into a world with familiar rules, a rule he usually only experienced in a game.

Now he must use his past gaming experience in this new world.

It was no longer a game, it was survival! A strive to reach the highest level possible.

Equipped with dual-class of melee and magic user, Jack was set on the path to become the strongest character in this brave new world.

CHAPTER 16- Book Club. 
  
-Unbelievable! 
  
-They're so fast! 
  
-And they're not using magic! 
  
-They really are Sei Molfer's children! 
  
-They're just as amazing as she is! 
  
-I think I fell in love with her! 
  
-And I fell in love with him! 
  
The swim club members are amazed as they watch Kei and Mei swim. 
  
Since they were little, they have both trained their bodies, and although they don't look that strong, they are. 
  
Thanks to their magic, all their strength is not reflected in their physical appearance. They are both well-muscled and lean. 
  
They are not the typical giants with muscles, but they are stronger than those giants. 
  
-This is fun, but it's not fair... If I join, they will feel inferior... They will look at me with envy and hate me... I don't want that - Kei thought. 
  
- • 
  
- • 
  
Kei and Mei get out of the pool. 
  
They are wearing the school swimsuit, which is black. 
  
Kei's body could be considered sexy for women. Mei is cute, but still flat. 
  
The girls and boys blush at the sight of them. Sei Molfer and Kei and Mei's father are very attractive. Mei inherited her mother's beauty, but Kei inherited nothing, as her appearance is still the same as her past life. But that doesn't matter, for in his past life he was attractive. 
  
-I think I won, Mei. You owe me dessert. 
  
-That's not fair! 
  
-Life isn't fair. 
  
The students from the club approach them. Most of them are over 15 years old. In this school, students study for 8 years. After studying 4 years, the students choose which studies to take. Basically, it is like a high school and university. 
  
As they all belong to noble families, they all received private education, as their parents hire teachers to teach them. 
  
Commoners attend elementary school, as they can't afford private teachers. 
  
-They are amazing! 
  
-They totally outdid us! 
  
-Please join in! 
  
Mei is quick to reply. 
  
-Of course! 
  
-No, I'm sorry. I decided not to join. 
  
Mei is shocked and Kei walks away. 
  
-I'll go change. Mei, when you're done joining, join me for lunch. 
  
-W-wait! 
  
Mei is surrounded by the club members. 
  
-With your help, we'll win the tournaments! 
  
-Thank you for joining! 
  
-You're very pretty! 
  
Being surrounded and admired by others, Mei feels she must stay. 
  
-Dammit, I can't leave anymore! -Kei, I'll beat you! -She thought disappointedly. 
  
- • 
  
- • 
  
After putting on her uniform, Kei started walking around the school, watching the clubs recruiting. 
  
-Join the music club! 
  
-The acting club is looking for new members! 
  
-You'll have fun in the game club! 
  
-Cooking club! 
  
Kei looks around at the clubs. Most of the recruiting tables are full. 
  
-They're very popular... But they don't interest me... Won't there be a typical ancient magic club? That's cliché, but it will benefit me. 
  
He notices an empty recruiting table and reads the sign. 
  
-Reading club... Ancient magic and legends... Cliché... But great. 
 
He approaches the table. 
  
-Hello? 
  
He stands in front of the table. 
  
-Who's going to get it? 
  
Two students approach him. 
  
-Someone is interested in our club, brother! 
  
-How lucky we are, sister! 
  
Kei turns to look at them. 
  
They are twin brothers. A boy and a girl, 15 years old. 
  
The girl has long black hair and wears black glasses. 
  
The boy has short black hair and wears black glasses. 
  
-Hi. Do you have any books on magic and legends? Are they rare books? I'm interested. 
  
-Of course. In our spare time, we spend our time looking for new books. We have a lot of books. 
  
-Of course, only members can read them. 
  
-I see... -Well, well, well... Sounds very interesting. I'd like to join, please. 
  
-But first, you must pass a simple test. -But first, you must pass a simple test. 
  
-We don't want idiot kids in our club. If you solve this, you'll join. 
  
From his pocket, he takes out a cube with strange symbols. 
  
-The "Magik" cube... Interesting. 
  
Magik cube, it's a magic device. It's like a puzzle. The different symbols on it represent magic attributes. How do you solve it? Using basic magic, the magic that everyone has, the symbols must be eliminated. How are they eliminated? The symbols are moved using magic. When they move, a question appears in your mind. If you answer correctly, the symbol will move again and disappear. 
  
Basically, you have to solve 240 questions. They are questions related to magic. Only the smartest could solve it. In this school, everyone is smart, but only 2% of the students could solve it. 
  
-Okay. 
  
Kei takes the cube and the symbols start to move and disappear. 
  
-Wow, good start, rookie. 
  
-Kei: Keep it up. 
  
The symbols start disappearing faster. 
  
-W-wait... -Unbelievable! 
  
-How fast! 
  
Kei doesn't hear them, as he's concentrating on the cube. 
  
-Thanks to my new ability "Double Thinking", I can solve this quickly. 
  
Double Thinking: This is a skill that can be obtained when intelligence increases. How does it work? Those who have this ability can think about two different things at the same time. And if the thoughts are concentrated on a single task, the reaction speed increases, that's why Kei is quickly solving the cube. 
  
After 30 seconds, Kei finished. 
  
-Ready. Am I a member now? 
  
Both take him by the hands. 
  
-Of course, welcome! 
  
-You beat me! -You're great! 
  
-Thank you. 
  
Grisia watches him from afar. She is blushing and nervous. 
  
-She joined that club... I should join too... Make it look like a coincidence... Make it look like a coincidence.... 
  
She takes a breath and relaxes. 
  
-Let's go. 
  
- • 
  
- • 
  
Sei Molfer is reviewing some documents in her room. 
  
She is sitting at a desk and her expression is worried. 
  
-More than 320 children disappeared... That idiot... Who the hell is the leader? Why did he kidnap the children? How did he do it? 
  
She remembers the words the man said to her before he died, "The leader will kill you, bitch! Your children will suffer the consequences, bitch!" 
  
She slams the desk and destroys it. 
  
She is furious and worried. 
  
-Damn it! Kei and Mei are strong, but I feel a bad feeling. 
  
Meanwhile, Grisia tried to join the club, but failed the test. 
  
-I'm a silly girl... I'm a fool," she said depressed.

I was summoned as a hero along with 9 girls, in a world ruled by women and men are treated as inferior. As I did not receive any divine power, they treated me as a loser and tried to take advantage of me. I escaped and now I must survive in a wild and dangerous world.... But thanks to a wanderer, I will be able to survive. I will study in a school of magic and become the best adventurer in the world. And I will use my power to get powerful companions. What does my power consist of? Basically, I can seduce women easily.

On the tips of his toes, Yang Fu walked around like a cat. Steady and suspicious. Eyeing up the table, he didn't know whether he was truly being tested or was this all some big illusion?

Honestly, he'd heard many tales of the Continuum. He'd listened to the harsh realities and accounts of all those that knew and those that had returned.

Horror. That was the underlying concept, cruel and gruelling tests that would break a lesser being's mind, snapping their sanity intwine.

Yet, here he was. In a transcendent garden, like that of a celestial, everything was beautiful, everything was serine, everything was… right. Was it even possible for such a situation to be? Had the fateful survivors all been liars, coveting untold powers?

Only… Yang Fu could not know the truth of their hearts, the only thing that he could do was to press forward, even with the tension that was under his skin. Under his brow and in his shoulders.

Unknown to him, what an opportunity this was. Unknown to all those that had come before him. Seven Legacies, that is what has emerged from the Depths of the Continuum.

Cerberus. The Path of the Under-heart, enabling the daring and diabolical to manipulate the paths of Samsara, luring out the Jackal like being that guarded the Under-Dark, the pathways to hell, corrupting their hearts and forcing servitude upon them! Inherited by Ki Zong.

Ursine. The Path of the patchwork. An ancient bear made of many different creatures. The vicious heart that could wield this legacy could dissect creatures, implanting their qualities on towards others. One could also steal the blood of Phoenixes and Dragons… making it their own. Inherited by Yu Houlie.

Nemesis. The Path of the Hated, bending Karma to hate you, bending it to despise you. Calamity would befall the bearer of this standard, yet once absorbed… one would transcend. None would be above the tides of fate apart from he who inherited this mantle. Inherited by Jiang Wang.

Toxicus. The Path established by Daoist Greenshade. The Path of the most tumultuous and unbridled of poisons and toxins. The venom of which could destroy a thousand mortal civilisations with absolute ease, as not only does it poison the individual, but also the heavens and earth themselves.

Blood Sky. The Path of Devouring the blood of your enemies, when in combat or not. Originating from the Eternal Bat, resident of the Abyss. Inherited by Wen Dong.

Silver Horn. The Path of the Battle King. Harnessing the Crashing and Terrible Energies of your opponents and turning them against themselves. Digging deep, sacrificing your soul, your matter, your energy to battle. Then take the final step, condemning yourself to hell for the sake of rebirth… Inherited by Wen Shen.

Each of the names had vanished from the world, either being slain or walking the golden path long ago. Yet their legends still reside, tales of their aguish always concoct fear in the hearts of man and woman alike.

The scene before him though, it invoked and shattered his disbelief within a microsecond, thousand times over. Both his conscious and unconscious mind were working overtime, taking in and assessing the situation for traps and deceit.

Yet he felt fine, totally and fully. Nothing was the matter; everything could only be described as… perfect. This situation of perfection put Yang Fu on as much edge as the earlier traps that had sprung before him.

Nevertheless, he'd been tasked to do this from his grandfather – the ancestor of the Yang Clan. He'd told Yang Fu that, "The Winds of Change are afoot, Xiao Fu, I can feel it in my bones. The Heavens call out to both the Elders and I… they speak but one word – Yang."

When the ancestors had told him these words shivers had been sent down Yang Fu's spine, he'd acquired the Nine Suns Fury Technique like magic; it suddenly appeared out of the blue. Was it magical? Was it a gift from the heavens that spoke the word – Yang?

It was the only possible solution in his head.

Sitting his skinny bottom on the delicately decorated pillow, he looked downwards upon the obstacles in front of him.

Three items, a cube of many different colours, a box with two keyholes and a massive ivory 'tusky-horn thing'.

Touching the Ivory Tusk, a thought entered his head, "Long'er." His son's face came to mind, shaking his head it vanished, this was not the time for distractions.

"Why do I get the feeling this is a puzzle?" Yang Fu groaned, scratching his chin. His eyes practically going bloodshot at the thought of having to do some mental athleticism.

"Okay, lets' start with this." He said, picking up the multi-coloured cube. It had six faces, the centre of one had a prominent symbol on it, with the engraving 'Rubik' in the centre.

"I guess I have to align them so the colours on each side match! Doesn't seem too hard!" A smile broke out across his face.

Yang Fu, with the big dumb smile across his face, looked incredibly satisfied, the cube made of smaller cubes' two across and two deep looked like an easy challenge.

Until… "Oh Oops, did I do that right?"

Swoosh!

In a flash like an electric strike and with a buzzing sound, the cube suddenly grew!

After Yang Fu second-guessed himself, turning the cube backwards to his last position, it turned bigger!

"What?!"

All of a sudden, the big cube had three-by-three squares within it.

"Errmm." Yang Fu looked around, the smile from his face vanished, trying to turn it again it grew again!

Four-by-Four!

"Crap"

Five-by-Five!

"Shit!"

Six-by-Six!

"Fucker!"

"AHHHHHH!" Yang Fu sprang up from his skinny ass, throwing the Seven-by-Seven magic-multi-coloured cube into the distance.

Woosh!

"Take that you fucker! Muahahaha! None can match the might of Yang Fu!"

He jumped up and down like an ape, puffing out his chest and beating it at the same time.

Pop!

The sound of water splashing as something – roughly the size of a stone entered it.

Yang Fu's triumphant face froze… his entire body seemed like it deflated.

Turning around, he saw a cube in the water, growing and growing as a feeding frenzy of magical carp tried to feed upon it!

"Ahhhh!" Yang Fu's voice broke, soaring over to the increasingly growing cube, leaping into the water head first!

The story of Yang Chi, a former god-slayer reborn into the body of a young child.

Watch how Yang Chi transforms his new clan from pushover to the dominant force in the world!

"I can't believe this! He's still playing with that cube!"
Chang Miao thought that when they returned, at least Fei Bao Xing would be worried and looking around for them. Yet, he had not moved from his last position, not even a single inch. 
His eyes were focused on the ancient treasure in the shape of a cube. He spun and turned it around and around while muttering to himself, "This does not make any sense..." 
"When are you going to stop playing around and start working? We have an emergency, right now!"
Chang Miao could not help but scolded him with a slightly raised voice.
"What is it?"
"What is it, you say? Do you have any idea how long you've been playing with that thing?!"
"Hmm..." Fei Bao Xing rubbed his chin with his finger while his eyes were looking to the side. He's actually trying to guess, "It should not be that long, right? Perhaps less than an hour."
"An hour..."
"Don't worry, we still have plenty of time. Let me look at the treasure for at least another fifteen minutes, okay."
Chang Miao's eyes twitched, and vein appeared on her forehead.  Never, she had been this angry before. To think the man in front of him has replaced five hours with one hour. Then, he was talking as if the girls have not left yet. It was definitely intentional.
As angry as she was, Chang Miao could not even complain. This was Fei Bao Xing's way of showing dominance. First of all, he was the strongest one in the group. And, to look for the keys, they need his intelligence. 
"Chang Miao, please calm down..."
"Yes, Fei Bao Xing is just joking..."
The Guan Sisters tried to calm down their young lady after seeing her became so red.
 
"How about we help Fei Bao Xing first?" Guan Ru Na suddenly suggested. "Once we help him discover the way to use the ancient treasure, he won't have any more reason not to help us. Besides, it must be important to him that he spent a lot of time on it."
Guan Ru Na's words made Chang Miao quickly calmed down. She nodded as a sign she agreed to the suggestion. 
"Let me take a look." Chang Miao snatched the cube from Fei Bao Xing's hand. 
As she looked over it, Fei Bao Xing could not help but gasp as he realised that Chang Miao sat so close to him. Her face flickered under the fire was so captivating. The way she touched and analysing the cube was enchanting. 
Meanwhile, Guan Ru Na sat on the other side with her head leaned on his shoulder, her charm was irresistible. And her hair smelled so pleasing, that Fei Bao Xing could not resist.
Guan Ru Yi has no space left beside Fei Bao Xing. Feeling jealous, she sat in front of him. It almost like he was hugging her. The way she seated was so cute that he has to look away.
Fei Bao Xing himself did not realise that his face became flushed red. Blood was rushing through his head and eventually became a nosebleed.
"You... You have a nosebleed... Are you alright?" Guan Ru Yi noticed it first and was worried.
"Here, use this." Guan Ru Na said as she offered him her handkerchief.
However, Fei Bao Xing did not take it. Instead, he stood up and leaned on the nearest tree away from the girls.
Guan Sister worriedly followed him to tend to his injuries. But Fei Bao Xing waved his hand and stopped them from getting close. 
"Sister, it's because you're too close to him. Too clingy is not good." Guan Ru Yi said.
"It's you who sits in the wrong place. No woman in the right mind would sit in that position." Guan Ru Na said.
In the end, Guan Ru Yi and Guan Ru Na could only look at each other and sighed.
Suddenly, the ancient treasure in Chang Miao's hands lighted up. A blue light shined brightly.
"Is it working?!" Fei Bao Xing could not help but get excited. He has tried so long to find out how it's working to no avail. But, it gets lighted up in Chang Miao's hand within five minutes. He regretted not giving it to her in the first place.
"Just to ask, but you did pour your Qi to the treasure, right?" asked Chang Miao to Fei Bao Xing.
"Huh... Pour my Qi?"
"Ehhhh... So, you did not? No wonder it takes so long. In the first place, did you really think you can use the treasure without using any Qi?"
What an irony. To use the ancient treasure that makes the Qi disappear, you have to use Qi first. No matter how much time he spent, there's no way he could figure it out since he has no Qi.
However, Fei Bao Xing could not be blamed. During his time in the Upper Realm. He also discovered an ancient treasure, but it does not require you to pour Qi in it. Alas, it's gone now as the power has already been used to the limit.
But, something's still weird. Although the treasure has been activated, nothing happened. And, if one looks closely, only nine of the characters lighted up, and they were all the same letter. 
"So, what now?" Feng Ao Xiu could not help but ask.
"Perhaps, we should put the lighted letters on the same side..." Chang Miao said.
"I tried it before, but it did not do anything. Now, that it has Qi, perhaps it will work."
It was quite hard at first, but as time passed the puzzle became easy. A few minutes later, Chang Miao successfully put the lighted characters on one side. Yet, the other five sides were still jumbled up. 
Then, the letters from blue-coloured light turned to red. As it does the middle square stick out like a button. Curiously, Chang Miao pushed the button.
"Ah! The Qi is gone!"
Just like the previous incident with Guo Jin, they could not feel the Qi in the air anymore.
"Chang Miao, you did it!" Guan Ru Na said.
"As expected of Young Lady Min."  Guan Ru Yi said.
However, the happiest was Fei Bao Xing. At last, he could use the treasure and make his enemy equal to him. With this, he will have the chance of winning.
Although to activate it, Qi was needed, he could just ask someone to pour it for him. Then, use it when he met an enemy. With the thoughts of winning on his mind, Fei Bao Xing gets excited. 
"Try to push the button again!"
Chang Miao nodded. Right after, she pushed the button, the Qi suddenly returned to normal. 
"The Qi has returned. So, the effect can be cancelled anytime."
At the same time, the light in the ancient treasure goes out. And, just like magic, the letters that have been lined up, suddenly disappeared and replaced with another one. It looked like a mechanism that requires to solve the puzzle after each use.
Looking satisfied, Fei Bao Xing started thinking his next move. "Chang Miao, please pour your Qi again."
Chang Miao carefully stretches her hand into the cube again.
"Ehhh... It's not accepting my Qi."
"Looks, we cannot use it until a certain amount of time passed."
"Let me try..." Looking curiously Guan Ru Yi wanted to try. This time, she was the one that transferred her Qi to the cube.
Suddenly, nine of the same letter shined just like previously. And, once again Fei Bao Xing was thrilled. It turns out that it does not restrict if a different person tried to use it.
This ancient treasure has become a source of turbulent of emotions for Fei Bao Xing. Nevertheless, the experiment for ancient treasure has come to a close.
As Fei Bao Xing received the treasure back, he could not stop smiling. He stared at it like it's his lover. He even already decided on a nickname, "I'm going to name you Precious Qi Cube."
"Okay, it's finished, right? Please help us now." Chang Miao said.
"Ah... Yes, it's finished. What's the matter?"
"We have to find more keys worth around 90 points." Guan Ru Yi said.
"Huh... What?"
"It turns out to pass we need 180 points." Guan Ru Na said.
"Ehhh... Why?" 
"Why? Come to think of it... It's because of you! You're the one who brought those people here. Take responsibility for everything!" Chang Miao said.

In a world full of cultivators, Feng Ao Xiu is a genius that only appears once every 10,000 years. His talent is the target of envy and jealousy of all the people around the world. But because of his talent that he was betrayed and died at a young age of 15 years old.

When everyone thought that the Feng Clan just lost a future supreme expert, Feng Ao Xiu slowly rise from the dead and he returned to the Clan. 

However, no one knows that Feng Ao Xiu was not a cultivator. They think he was back stronger than ever.

In a world full of cultivators, Feng Ao Xiu was an ordinary man. Can he survive?

Join him in a story full of comedy misunderstanding!

I just started living with Emiyo and I was still disappointed with my body since its way too much young and it doesn't grow faster, wait a second! Why the heck am I thinking like an 8 Y/o child. Anyways, according to the isekai anime I have to train my body so I can use some serious skills. I kept thinking and realized that I can probably access that system which keep popping in my mind. I sat on bed and tried to concentrate, I was able to see screen and the system's voice started echoing "You can't access system with current stats" Hearing that annoyed me. I felt so bad for myself but keeping my feeling aside I have to figure out when I can access the system, I need to focus again. I sat and tried to focus again, this time I tried to ask the system about when can I access it, so window popped in my mind with an echo like before this time the voice said "Dear host, raise you strength and IQ to the appropriate to access the system settings. Your current strength and goal will appear on screen now"
𝓗𝓸𝓼𝓽-𝓐𝓴𝓲𝓽𝓸 𝓐𝓼𝓪

Seeing the stats, I realized that it would be really hard to raise up the stats. Well I'm really confused why system was doing this to me, why can't I become OP protagonist like isekai anime MCs.
I need to gather strength and train myself hard, I started thinking doing some work out. But, wait how am I supposed to run in this forest? I can do push-ups, pull-ups, lunges, etc. without an issue though. I also need to train my IQ stats, should I start solving some puzzles and stuff? But does this world have puzzle like we use to have on earth? I better ask Emiyo, I knocked her door and she opened it in no time. She asked "What's up Akito?" I answer "I want some puzzles to play, I'm really bored right now." her eyes had sudden sparkle in it and said "In that case, I have some good puzzles" she ran towards outside the house, I guess she have brother complex but I am not complaining about it since in my last life no one really cared much about me. Suddenly she appeared with a big box full of books, some looking weird Rubik's cube, some artistic pencils and whatnot. I was really shocked seeing those, Emiyo patted on my head and said "It's all yours now, you can enjoy it!" I smiled and thanked her from my heart, she exclaimed and said "OH! I forgot to say, if you need help or clue just let me know I can guide you in how to solve that puzzle, ok?" I happily replied "For sure Emiyo!"
I came back in my room and checked all the puzzles in the box, I was amazed to see this many puzzles and I kept exploring, I found many puzzles were same as the world I came from but some puzzles which look like Rubik's cube and some jigsaw puzzle were different. This Rubik's cube is really weird it doesn't rotate like the real Rubik's cube, rather it looks like a box with just a pen mark. When I checked the jigsaw puzzle it is sliding puzzle, and again it doesn't move lust like rubik's cube wasn't rotating. I decided to ask Emiyo, but I feel bad for myself since I am solving kid level puzzle and can't figure out what to do. I am almost 21 according to my previous life, but anyways I should try solving the one I can before I call her.
