Chapter 12: The Stingy God of the Otherworld
Chapter 12: The Stingy God of the Otherworld
Otherworld, Gran Bahamal
Originally, Yecheng was supposed to be in the "Rupture Realm," about to be devoured by the Gutsu. In the final moment, the so-called Dimensional Travel System finally loaded and activated.
The moment the system activated, Yecheng's body was directly shattered into pieces by the Gutsu.
Since the bodies of Shinigami are composed of Spirit Particles, a part of those Spirit Particles descended into this so-called Otherworld—Gran Bahamal.
As Yecheng was originally a Shinigami, whose body was entirely made of Spirit Particles, when he arrived in this world, his bones and flesh were reshaped, allowing him to appear as a native of this world.
"I am the God of the Otherworld. As a transferer who has come to this world, I can grant you a power as a cheat to survive in this harsh world."
When Yecheng first arrived in the Otherworld, the first voice he heard was not from the system but from the so-called "God of the Otherworld."
Although Yecheng did not understand why the language spoken by the "God of the Otherworld" was the same as his previous life's language, it was a relief that he could understand it.
Adhering to the principle that it's foolish to pass up a good deal, Yecheng naturally had no reason to refuse the offered cheat, so he spoke his thoughts aloud.
"I want the most powerful strength in this Otherworld, the kind that can definitively defeat anyone I encounter!"
When asked what kind of cheat he needed, it was essentially the same as making a wish. Since that was the case, Yecheng naturally didn't hold back.
God of the Otherworld: "……"
After hearing Yecheng's request, the so-called God of the Otherworld clearly faltered. From the previous exchanges, it was evident that this so-called God of the Otherworld was a being similar to the system, and Yecheng's wish clearly exceeded its authority.
Wanting invincible strength? What about the gods, demons, and dragon kings of this world?
Even though it was a cheat, the strength of the cheat couldn't be too outrageous, otherwise, it would disrupt the overall balance of this world.
Perhaps realizing that his request was too excessive, causing the so-called God of the Otherworld to falter, Yecheng compromised and said, "Since this is a world of Swords and Magic, there should be the existence of Magic Power and magic, right?
I want to have immense Magic Power and a body immune to magic. Shouldn't this be acceptable?"
The God of the Otherworld was truly speechless at Yecheng's renewed request. If it weren't for the fact that it was merely a guide-like existence, it would have given Yecheng a good scolding.
There was no other reason; the human in front of it was simply too greedy!
"The request you made belongs to two separate abilities: immense Magic Power and Magic Immunity. I can only grant you one of these wishes."
After a moment of hesitation, Yecheng ultimately chose the ability of "Magic Immunity" from the God of the Otherworld, who was being quite stingy.
He made this choice after careful consideration. Having immense Magic Power doesn't necessarily mean having excellent magical talent. It's like having a supercar but no driver's license; it's completely useless.
However, the ability of "Magic Immunity" is different. With this ability, he would be the bane of all mages in this world, to put it simply.
Regarding his magic power, according to the Lowb System that brought him to this world, his own Reiatsu seems to automatically convert into the power system of this world.
Even if Yecheng’s so-called magical talent were lacking, with his swordsmanship and the newly acquired "Magic Immunity" ability, he could at least ensure his own safety to some extent, if not dominate this world.
After granting Yecheng the cheat ability to survive in this world, the so-called "God of the Otherworld" disappeared.
Yecheng, who had originally wanted to ask about the world’s other conditions, was left speechless. For a god guiding transmigrants, this was surprisingly irresponsible.
The area where Yecheng now found himself seemed to be within a forest. He knew nothing about this Otherworld.
The system he originally carried seemed to only have the ability to traverse dimensions, but during its activation, Yecheng’s body was struck by a Gutsu.
This directly caused his Spirit Particles to scatter across various worlds, and he landed in this world as part of those scattered Spirit Particles.
Having no choice, upon arriving in this unfamiliar Otherworld, he needed to first gather some basic information. For this, he needed to interact with others, at least with intelligent beings.
However, after wandering in the forest for two days, Yecheng had slain numerous monsters but had not encountered even the most basic intelligent beings, let alone humans.
"Even without a map, I don’t believe that if I keep going in one direction, I won’t be able to leave this forest!"
The forest where Yecheng was located was not particularly large. The reason he hadn’t managed to leave after two days was entirely due to his poor sense of direction.
It’s well-known that people skilled in swordsmanship often have this issue. While Yecheng wasn’t as bad as a certain three-sword style swordsman who would run back and forth, his sense of direction was indeed weak.
"Are you robbing me? I can give you money, please let me go."
"What is this Beastman talking about? He’s even trying to fool us with a few pieces of paper?"
"Are Beastmen this smart now, to the point where they can beg for mercy? This Beastman might be a rare breed."
"If we catch this guy and take him to the Guild, we could probably get a good price for him."
After wandering in the forest for two days, Yecheng finally heard the sound of human voices, which made him quite excited.
When he stealthily followed the source of the sound, he discovered a confrontation involving a few men.
To be more precise, what should have been a confrontation was more like a one-sided beating. Three men, dressed like adventurers, were beating up another man who looked human.
Despite the man being beaten holding his head with both hands and begging for mercy, claiming he was human, the three adventurers did not believe him.
In a world of generally handsome and beautiful people, the man’s appearance was not just ordinary but could only be described as peculiar.
So even though the man, Shima Yousuke, could speak, they treated him as a talking rare Beastman and were preparing to take him back to the city to make some extra money.
Beastmen were a subspecies and not uncommon in this world, but talking Beastmen were different. Such rare commodities would not be hard to sell for a good price.
