[You’ve bought a 7 day visa to Earth number 37.952 for 100 GP. You may tear the paper to begin the sealing and teleportation procedure.]
After Cedric purchased the visa, a thin paper with the word Earth 37.952 appears on his hand. The paper is made of unknown materials and mainly consists of glossy dark colors like black and gray, except for the word Earth 37.952 that’s written in white. Even though the paper has a glossy metallic color, upon touch it actually felt like fabric instead of smooth like a metal.
Just when he is about to tear the visa, a screen appears in front of him.
[Warm reminder, it is recommended to purchase some life-saving Divine Items and Divine Items used to transport heroes of your choice.]
Cedric paused his hand and asked, “Can you recommend me suitable items?”
[For transporting heroes it is recommended to purchase ‘Drawing Crayon For Interdimensional Teleportation Circle’ and ‘How To Draw Simple Interdimensional Teleportation Circle’. They are the most cost effective items. They can be purchased for 10 GP and 1 GP respectively.]
[As for lifesaving Divine Items, it is recommended to purchase ‘Automatic Barrier (Technological)’ for 5 GP. This item is enough to allow you to survive a car crash or even a sniper attack from close range.]
He followed the System’s suggestion and checked the three items it mentioned.
[Level 1 Consumable Divine Item, Automatic Barrier (Technological).
Cost: 5 GP
Description: an automatic barrier that allows the user to defend against any Level 1 attack for 10 seconds per use. 3 uses remaining.]
[Level 1 Consumable Divine Item, Drawing Crayon For Interdimensional Teleportation Circle.
Cost: 10 GP
Description: Material used to draw an Interdimensional Teleportation Formation. Can teleport 1 person into the coordinate written in it. The formation drawn on the floor can last up to 7 days, unless it got recalled by the caster or has been used. Can be used 0-3 times depending on the summoning circle’s level of difficulty.]
[Level 10 Consumable Divine Item, Book: How To Draw Simple Interdimensional Teleportation Circle.
Cost: 1 GP
Description: Book used to learn how to draw the most simple Interdimensional Teleportation Circle that will automatically activate when a certain race steps on the magic circle. Will transfer the target’s soul, body, and possessions attached to the body.]
Cedric saw their description and found nothing wrong, so he spent 16 GP to purchase all of them.
With his purchase, three items appear on his hands. There is a small bracelet, a single red crayon, and a book with the word ‘How To Draw A Simple Interdimensional Teleportation Circle’ written on the cover.
Just when he tried to touch the book to read it, the book suddenly disappeared and turned into dust. Cedric feels a bit surprised by the sudden change and wishes to complain to the System for selling some fragile items. But before he could utter a word of complaints, several unknown memories forced their way into his brain.
Those memories consisted of knowledge used to draw an interdimensional summoning circle used to teleport someone from a world to another. The summoning circle was thoughtful enough to include an illness blessing, a part to input knowledge about language from the world the person will be transferred into, and other basic things that will help the creature transported through that summoning circle survive in another world.
Furthermore, the process of creating that summoning circle is quite easy. He simply needs to draw the summoning diagram on a flat floor and then place some of his Mental Power to the magic circle as a coordinate to his world. It doesn’t look that hard.
Once he digested all knowledge related to the magic circle, Cedric wore the bracelet and placed the crayon in his pocket. Once he was ready, he picked the beautifully crafted Visa and tore it with both hands.
[Sealing procedure begins. You may feel a bit uncomfortable, but please don’t resist. Upon failure due to resistance, the visa’s usage will be canceled and you will not be refunded.]
The instant he tore that visa, Cedric felt some sort of suppression coming from it. Soon, he felt a bit breathless, as if he was wearing one of those tight medieval corsets. He tried to move his arms to make the feeling go away, but he suddenly recalled the System's warning and stopped moving. When he was almost unable to bear it, that feeling of tightness disappeared.
[Sealing procedure completed. You may remove the seal by releasing your aura or releasing a massive amount of mental power at once. While sealed, most of your power will be weakened. You can only use basic ability like Divine Sight, Divine Language, and a small amount of mental power]
This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.
After that feeling of tightness disappeared, a notification appeared in front of him. Suddenly, he saw his surroundings distort like an overcooked pasta placed inside a washing machine.
When the distorted scenery returned to normal, Cedric found himself standing in an unknown alley instead of the house he had created in the Divine Space.
In his hands, there was now a phone, a stack of bills, an identity card, and certificates such as a birth certificate. Checking the bills in his hands, he found the consisted entirely of 10,000 Yen bills.
Cedric began to ruminate. Based on the terms written on the 7 day visa, he will receive the currency used in the country he landed in. Seeing as the cash in his hands is Yen, he surmised that he was now located in Japan.
As for the exact location, he would need to ask the locals about it or check the map. But knowing about his exact location doesn’t seem to matter much, so he won’t bother about it.
“Now then, what should I do?” Cedric scratched his head as he walked toward the place where some noises could be heard.
After walking slowly for a few minutes, a busy street full of pedestrians came into his view. Every single one of those pedestrians wore modern clothes and accessories.
When he saw those people, a sense of nostalgia struck him. The feelings of looking at other humans with familiar clothing style through his own eyes gives him a weird sensation. After the nostalgia comes a feeling of loss.
Cedric gently shook his head and asked, “Hey, System. Are you there?
[Yes.]
“Can you tell me what I should do now?” Right after he said so, Cedric could feel several concerned gazes from his surroundings. When he turned his head, he could see the surrounding people looking at him as if he was a mental patient.
[Just look for some people with a high potential level for now.]
He ignored the System’s reply and hid his face with both palms. Then, he quickly ran away in embarrassment. ‘Damn it, I accidentally spoke out loud once more. I am already used to speaking out loud because no one existed in the Divine Space and it makes me lonely.’
He ran randomly for a few minutes and only slowed down when he arrived at a relatively sparse street.
“It’s been so long since I last sweated.” Wiping some sweat that drenched his face after he ran in the evening sun, Cedric began to observe his surroundings.
He is currently located in a slightly large street with several stores and multiple apartment buildings.
With his embarrassment slowly dying down, Cedric begins to work. He activated Divine Sight and observed the surrounding people.
[Life Level: Lower level 0
Potential: Peak level 0]
[Life Level: Lower level 0
Potential: Mid level 1]
[Life Level: Lower level 0
Potential: Mid level 0]
[Life Level: Lower level 0
Potential: Lower level 1]
[Life Level: Lower level 0
Potential: Peak level 1]
Just like what the System said. Among the five people he has just observed, all of them have life level at Lower level 0. Which is the level of those without blessed power in the Crystal Cube world.
Although their Life Level are low, but their potential level are extremely high. Just among those five random people, he actually found someone with potential rivaling that of Lacius!
The person in question is an old granny that owns a small store. What a pity, she is simply too old and the teleportation circle on his hand will also transport the target’s body. With how old that granny looked, let’s not even talk about killing the demon king. It is already doubtful whether she could live until the demon king is born.
As he walked in a random direction, Cedric thought of something, ‘What is the minimum potential level so the hero I select could kill the demon king?’
This time he already learned his lesson and simply asked it in his mind.
[Mid-Level 2 is alright, but it is recommended to look for someone with at least Upper Level 2 potential to be on the safe side.]
‘What is the maximum potential level in this world? I remember you said there are twenty life levels in total. Yet, how come I never saw anyone with potential more than 1 here?’
[For Earth with five-digit numbers, the maximum potential level is Peak Level 3]
Cedric asked doubtfully, ‘Why didn’t I see anything about it when I purchased the visa?’
[It’s written on the terms of service. It’s located at the seventeenth line from bottom.]
Cedric opened the shop and checked the [Visa] section before opening the part that sold Visa to Random Earth Number 10.000-99.999.
Look and behold, it is indeed written on the terms.
[...
x.) The Maximum potential level of Earthling on this world is Peak Level 3.
…]
Cedric felt a bit speechless when he saw it. Why such an important thing got placed so far below is beyond his understanding. When he read the long list of terms, that part must have slipped from his sight.
“Whatever, it doesn’t matter much at this point. It’s not like I need someone with an extremely high potential level. The System has just said that someone with upper level 2 potential is enough.” Furthermore, with Cedric’s current understanding of the shop. He is absolutely sure that those worlds where people with high-level potential reside definitely cost a fortune to visit.
He shook his head slightly and continued to observe the surrounding people with his Divine Sight.
While walking randomly, Cedric paused. A few meters in front of him, there is a highschool with many students wandering about while chatting as they left the school grounds.
If that’s all to it, then Cedric would just ignore it and walk away. But, while he mechanically observed those students with his Divine Sight, Cedric saw someone who had met the criteria to save his world.
[Life Level: Lower level 0
Potential: Upper level 2]
The person he observed was a high school boy with neat hair and slightly above average height. Like the other students, he wore a uniform consisting of a white shirt, a blazer, and a tie. As for his face, he looked like the kind of person you would lose in the crowd. Completely unremarkable.
Cedric quickly took a step forward toward the boy before he suddenly stopped. He hasn’t prepared the teleportation circle for that boy yet.
‘Guess I’ll just teleport him tomorrow. I’ll first draw a teleportation circle near the school ground once most of the students are gone. Tomorrow, I will push that boy into the teleportation circle and send him to the Crystal Cube world.’ Cedric thought while opening his phone and pressed the map apps.
He decided to look for a hotel where he could stay for the night while waiting for the area around the school to turn deserted. Because he got plenty of money when he arrived on Earth, he doesn’t want to sleep on the street during his stay here.
