Certainly, here's the English translation of the text you provided with the name "Teseu" kept unchanged:
When Teseu arrived at the entrance of the hotel and found his sister standing there tapping her feet impatiently, he already expected to be attacked. He didn't even have the intention of dodging. He just didn't know that his body would instinctively react, circulating Qi through his skin and facial muscles.
After going up to his sister's room, explaining his situation, and taking a smack on the face with a pan, he would finally show someone his incredible ability to travel between worlds! Of course, he intended to bring out the small Qi crystal he had kept for moments like these. So far, that crystal was the only material with the strange characteristic of retaining the Qi stored within it completely, even in an environment completely devoid of Qi like Earth.
While meditating and trying to connect to the other world, Teseu felt a slight sense of déjà vu. When he realized why, it was already too late; his consciousness faded, and he fell asleep.
***
The Kingdom of Holyrock was once one of the most peaceful in all of the Autazian continent. When the great hero united our brethren into a single nation and commanded all the stonefolk tribes to conquer the towering mountain from the clutches of the fearsome dragon Merlatoth the Pale.
After the intense battle, the great hero became the first king of the stonefolk, and the mountain became a symbol of our strength, where our capital, Holymarble, was founded.
Leaders from other tribes took territories surrounding the mountain to form their own clans.
The mountain that pierced the skies, now known as Mount Holymarble, was mainly populated by the marble-kin as they belonged to the same clan as the founding hero. However, after the founder's death, the other clans became much more greedy and began to settle in the capital under the pretext of better protecting the royal family.
Now, nearly 300 years later, neighboring nations are aware of this power struggle and are just waiting for an opportunity to attack us. That's why today, the leaders of the four major clans are gathering in the royal palace.
The dome of the palace, where the leaders' meeting was taking place, was protected by a special runic formation created by the founder himself. An intricate multilayered mana barrier that, in theory, couldn't be easily broken or bypassed, at least not without triggering an alarm.
But that's exactly what happened. In the space between the throne and the seats of the clan leaders, a human appeared. In an instant, there was nothing, and in the next, he lay naked on the floor, wearing an odd expression of smugness. It turned into complete chaos when he opened his eyes.
The four leaders, upon noticing the queen's surprised expression, wasted no time and immediately surrounded the intruder, who raised his hands in surrender and muttered something in an incomprehensible language.
"My queen, there's no need to worry; I will handle this intruder myself," said Quartzar, leader of the Granite clan.
"Do not be in such a hurry, Quartzar. We do not know how he managed to bypass the barrier. For all we know, the humans may have tested some of their strange magics on their slaves, and this one survived," intervened Calcíla, leader of the Limestone clan.
"Calcíla is correct, Quartzar. The human may also have some information we can exploit, even if he doesn't seem to speak our language. I'm sure someone from your Majesty's family can inspect his mind," said Magnor, leader of the Magnetite clan, while giving a brief glance to the queen.

The queen remained silent, looked at the clan leader who had not yet spoken, and asked, "What is your opinion, Iroxy?"
The leader of the Hematite clan, the closest to the royal family, immediately responded, "I will do as your Majesty commands, but I would like to emphasize that we still have very important matters to discuss. Interrogating the intruder can wait until the end of our meeting, your Majesty."
"What could be more important than someone managing to breach the barrier created by the Founder himself?"
"ENOUGH." With a single word, an intense pressure settled upon everyone's heads, making them all lower them, except the human who appeared totally unaffected by the situation and showed no signs of being under the influence of the pressure.
"Hmm." The queen frowned and stopped her skill. With a wave of her hand, the massive stone doors at the end of the dome opened, and two marble-kin guards entered, kneeling.
"Take this human to the anti-mana prison; keep him under observation until I say otherwise."
And so, the meeting continued as planned, without further interruptions.

Teseu was sitting on a stone bed, being stared at by what looked like a marble statue that appeared to have been sculpted by Leonardo da Vinci himself. Except that the eyes were like amber-colored diamonds with shades of brown. The guard wore a kind of Roman armor made of a gray-metal alloy.
The cell he was confined in had a floor covered in spherical stones that appeared to be made of obsidian with a very dark blue, almost black hue. The bars were thick and seemed to be made of the same material as the stones on the floor, as well as the walls and ceiling.
Teseu took advantage of not having much else to do and began to contemplate what had happened.
"First of all, I'm sure my situation could be much worse. I realized too late that I've never tried sleeping anywhere other than the Qihouse. Apparently, where I sleep on Earth can alter where I wake up in the other world, assuming I'm still in the same other world that I know."
"I can't sense Qi in the atmosphere here. In fact, I can't sense anything, but it still feels different from Earth, like the air is stagnant rather than dry."
"I'm sure I felt a different energy than the Qi I sensed in the cultivation world, at least until they put me in this cell." Teseu leaned down to pick up one of the many stones on the floor and began to examine it.
The small stone didn't seem to have anything special, appearing to be polished like river stones. It was very suspicious that all the feeling of being surrounded by a strange energy simply vanished when he stepped into this room.
"Hmm, it's strange that I can't sense anything coming from this stone. Let's try infusing some Qi into it and see what happens...!?" As soon as the Qi touched the stone, it began to heat up and emit a faint blue glow that grew increasingly intense!
"Damn it!" Teseu futilely tried to hide what was happening, but all this time, the guard had been watching him closely without blinking.
"$@&#¥ £¢@ ∆§%€¢!" The guard shouted in a strange language while drawing his sword.
Teseu simply hid the stone behind him and raised his hands in surrender. The guard seemed no less alert, and the blue glow emanating from behind Teseu was not helping.
The guard began to shout as if he were calling for reinforcements, and as he showed no intention of entering the cell, Teseu turned to inspect the stone.
Apparently, the Qi he injected had started to consume whatever was inside that stone, but now the stone was
completely saturated with Qi!
Teseu couldn't help the wide smile that spread across his face. "I've just hit the jackpot!"
Hearing hurried footsteps approaching, Teseu absorbed all the Qi contained in the still-warm stone. The glow simply vanished, and the stone now appeared to be an ordinary piece of obsidian but with a navy-blue and slightly transparent color.
Five more guards arrived, or were they soldiers? One of them opened the cell and walked toward Teseu with a gray-metal cuff adorned with strange runes glowing with a white-yellowish light.
As the cuffs clicked onto Teseu's wrists, the runes began to glow a bit more but quickly dimmed, as if they were not needed.
The soldier who brought the cuffs, upon seeing the runes fade, immediately turned to the guard who had been monitoring Teseu with a questioning look.
The guard seemed to try to stammer an apology, but the soldier didn't seem interested in hearing it and signaled for the other soldiers to remove the guard from there.
The soldier then removed the cuffs, which immediately began to glow again upon contact with the stone-human. He took a good look at Teseu, turned, and walked away. Of course, he didn't forget to lock the cell.
Teseu, who had stood there with an innocent expression throughout the encounter, quickly resumed his smile. The feeling of anticipation was so intense that Teseu began to salivate like a hungry dog catching the scent of roasted meat!
*slap* He slapped himself.
"Well, I better get to work before another guard arrives. Things are going to heat up from now on, but it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make!"
