On his way to Ichigo Kurosaki’s house, Ren opened a function built into the Myriad Worlds Paradise system, the Regional Chat Channel.
[Yan Nation 1680, Online Users: 10,000.] The Regional Chat Channel was already buzzing.
“Holy crap, fiction just became reality.
I’m actually a Reincarnator now!” “Help!
I was starving all day and was about to eat, but then I got teleported into the dungeon world.
I think I’m going to be the first Reincarnator to die of starvation!” “You’ve got it easy.
I was taking a dump, and then bam.
Got teleported right onto a main road.
The cops in this world picked me up as a pervert and took me to the station!
o(╥﹏╥)o” “I’ve noticed the language and writing in this country are completely different from ours, but the strange part is I can still understand them.” “Wait, I just realized we can send pictures and videos in the chat channel!” …
“I’m with the national government.
Recruiting teammates now.
We’ll complete the main quest together and deal with the impending crisis in the real world.
Message me if you’re interested!” “The main quest is to survive here for one year.
That sounds pretty easy to me.
Plus, if you die in the beginner dungeon, you don’t actually die.
You just fail and get sent back to the real world.” “+1.
Our identity info here is complete.
We could just find jobs and support ourselves.” “I don’t think the main quest is that simple.
The wording is ‘survive,’ and they gave us a one-week newbie protection period.
That means there must be unknown dangers here.” “I think the Myriad Worlds Paradise system is pretty humane.
One year in the beginner dungeon equals just one day in the real world.
So by the time we finish the main quest, only one day will have passed back home.” “That benefit is only for the beginner dungeon.
Later, it seems you need to exchange side Plot Token and Myriad Points to unlock it.” “The future’s too far away.
Let’s just get through this Reincarnation Dungeon first.” …
From the information in the Regional Chat Channel, he confirmed two things.
First, only one thing became clear to Ren.
He was the only Reincarnator who knew anything about the world of Bleach.
That actually made sense.
Ren was a transmigrator, born into this world from a past life.
He had noticed that the world’s technology level was similar to his original world, but its history and culture were completely different.
The biggest difference was that Japan did not exist here, and Longyan was currently a monarchy.
Second, the Myriad Worlds Paradise system belonged exclusively to Ren.
It was his unique cheat.
Just then, Ren noticed a red exclamation mark in the Regional Chat Channel interface labeled “Available Side Quests.” He opened it and saw only one side quest available.
[Side Quest: Publicly reveal the initial truth about the current world in the Regional Chat Channel.] [Quest Reward: 1 E-Rank Plot Token, 1000 Myriad Points.] Ren blinked.
He had not expected the side quest to be this.
Well, it was a beginner dungeon.
The Myriad Worlds system probably just wanted to help new Reincarnators survive as long as possible.
As for Myriad Points, they were the universal currency of the Myriad Worlds system.
And an E-Rank Plot Token was more valuable than 1000 Myriad Points.
This side quest matched his intentions.
He had already planned to give everyone a heads up.
Disaster was coming to the real world.
Although he was confident, he could face it without fear, one person’s strength was still limited.
Still, until he had absolute power, he chose not to reveal his true identity.
Ren accepted the side quest.
Then, using the alias “Gilgamesh,” he sent a message in the Regional Chat Channel.
“Everyone be careful.
This world doesn’t just have Hollows that devour souls, as the Myriad Worlds system mentioned.
It also has Shinigamis who hunt Hollows!” After sending the message, his side quest was marked as completed.
Ren did not reveal anything further, because this quest only required an initial disclosure.
He suspected there would be follow-up side quests later.
When they arrived, he could continue using his knowledge of the Bleach world to farm rewards.
His message spread through the chat like a shockwave, instantly stirring the group and shaking the previously optimistic Reincarnators.
“Big shot, where did you get that info?
@Gilgamesh” “Is your info accurate?
@Gilgamesh” “It’s definitely accurate.
The side quest is already completed!” “@Gilgamesh, what do Hollows look like?
What do Shinigamis look like?
Got any pictures?” …
The Regional Chat Channel was suddenly flooded with messages tagging him.
Even the national government noticed the message and started sending him private messages.
But he did not see any of them.
He had already arrived at Ichigo’s house.
Meanwhile, Ichigo had just finished dinner and returned to his room.
He was about to start his homework when he heard Ren’s voice calling from outside: “Ichigo, are you home?” Ichigo froze for a second.
For a moment, he thought he was hearing things.
How could Ren possibly know where he lived?
But when the voice came again, he realized it was not his imagination.
Without hesitation, Ichigo opened the window and looked down.
Sure enough, Ren was standing on the street below, smiling and waving at him.
His expression showed surprise.
Though Ichigo had no idea how Ren had found his house, he went downstairs and brought him back to his room.
Ichigo’s family stared at him with curious expressions.
From the time Ichigo was little until now, aside from his childhood friend Tatsuki Arisawa and his classmate Mizuiro Kojima who lived nearby, this was the first time a friend of Ichigo’s had ever come to his house on his own.
Inside Ichigo’s room.
Ichigo finally understood how Ren had found his house.
Ren had asked the little girl’s ghost to lead the way.
Before she died, the little girl had lived in the neighborhood and had even been treated at the Kurosaki Clinic before.
Of course, she knew where Ichigo lived.
What Ichigo did not know was that Ren could have found his house without the little girl’s ghost.
The Kurosaki Clinic was quite well known nearby.
A little asking around would have been enough.
The real reason Ren brought the little girl’s ghost along was that in the manga version of the story, she was supposed to be eaten by a Hollow tonight.
Now that they knew each other, he was not going to let that happen.
Perfect timing too.
Once Rukia Kuchiki arrived, he could have her send the little girl’s ghost to Soul Society.
As he thought this, he looked at the ghost of the middle-aged office worker floating behind Ichigo and could not help but remark, “Ichigo, you are really popular with ghosts.” Ichigo was equally helpless about the middle-aged man’s ghost behind him.
He had no idea when it had started following him home.
Now he had to figure out how to help it pass on.
Just thinking about it gave him a headache.
Ren smiled, about to say something else, when his gaze froze.
He saw Rukia Kuchiki stepping through the air, entering directly through the window like a butterfly and landing gently on the desk.
In front of her, a single black swallowtail butterfly fluttered gracefully.
Ichigo noticed his reaction and instinctively looked over.
He froze too.
Seeing Rukia’s figure, his first thought was that a burglar had broken in.
Because the Shihakusho she wore was black, just like the dark outfits thieves liked to wear at night.
At this moment, destiny converged.
