After arriving at one of the hotels marked on his map, Cedric booked one room for seven days and rested until nine pm. At this time, the sky has turned dark and the only sources of light are the streetlights and the lights coming from residential houses.
He left the hotel and strolled toward the high school he visited during the day.
Pulling the [Drawing Crayon For Interdimensional Teleportation Circle], he went toward a slightly smaller alley and began drawing the teleportation circle based on the knowledge stored in his memory.
He first drew a one meter wide circle and then drew a small circle at the center of the large circle. Next, he began drawing several shapes like triangles, squares, hexagons, and other geometric shapes. All the geometric shapes that he drew have varying sizes, but they all are located inside the big circle.
While drawing those shapes, he occasionally paused to check the knowledge he gained from the [How To Draw Simple Interdimensional Teleportation Circle] book to make sure he had drawn them correctly.
Cedric only stopped drawing geometric shapes after fifteen minutes had passed.
“With the frame ready, I need to start the hard part.” He stretched his body before continuing to squat and drew several rune-like shapes inside the teleportation circle while constantly sending a miniscule amount of his mental power through the crayon. He only slowed down when the one meter radius circle had almost been filled to the brim with complicated runes.
Drawing those runes took double the time Cedric spent to draw the geometry shapes. By the time he finished, almost fifty minutes had passed.
Looking at a circle filled with complicated runes and shapes, he compared it with the one in his memory and finally smiled. “Finally, just two more steps!”
He first sent a small part of his mental power toward one of the shapes inside the teleportation circle. Inside the mental power, he placed knowledge about the Crystal Cube world’s human language. Which is something he learned how to do from the book.
Luckily, the human language on the Crystal Cube world is still in its infancy, so there aren’t that many words for him to input. Otherwise, with his current expertise, he won’t be able to stuff the entire language inside his mental power.
Then Cedric sends a trace of his mental power toward the small circle that’s located right in the center of the teleportation circle he just drew.
The instant his mental power touched the small circle, he began to feel some connection between him and the teleportation circle. With himself as the hub, the magic circle begins to connect with his Crystal Cube world.
He followed the tips written in the book and began to guide that connection toward the Winter City, which is the destination he wishes to teleport the hero into.
In the middle of marking the destination, the teleportation coordinate slightly missed from the destination he had in mind and got attached to another city instead. That accident probably happened due to his inexperience at drawing the teleportation circle.
Although there was a small accident, Cedric still sighed in relief. “Well, at least the destination is still in a city.”
The instant he finished inputting the coordinate, the teleportation circle faintly glowed before turning invisible.
“Success!” Cedric smiled, because once the circle turned invisible, that means he had drawn it correctly. According to the book, the teleportation circle will turn invisible from a low leveled creature’s eyes upon completion. It now can only be seen by high leveled creatures.
As for why it turned invincible in front of his eyes, Cedric guessed it has something to do with his current status. After all, he is just a Pseudo Lesser Divinity whose real level is level 0.
He thought for a moment and tried to activate Divine Sight. With the help of Divine Sight, the teleportation circle that has turned invisible entered into his view once more.
Cedric stood there appreciating his work before he looked at the crayon in his hand that had decreased by a third.
The fact it only decreases by a third is seriously breaking the law of physics. Normally, it would need dozens of crayons to draw something as complicated as the teleportation circle.
But the thing happening to him these last few years is nonsensical enough. So, he can ignore that minor breach in physics easily.
Cedric then grabbed the crayon and walked towards another alley. He decided to draw another teleportation circle, just in case.
After all, he could cancel the teleportation circle with a thought.
Repeating the same step he used to draw the previous teleportation circle, Cedric spent slightly more than half an hour to finish drawing the circle and placed the coordinate of his world into it. This time he finally succeeded at marking the destination as Sacred Kingdom’s Winter City.
He checked his phone and saw it’s almost 11 pm.
Because of the seal on his body, Cedric could now feel physical exhaustion. After yawning several times consecutively, he decided to return and sleep at the hotel.
Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.
Midway through the journey, he suddenly paused while absentmindedly checking his pockets and bracelet. ‘I got some bad feelings. It’s like I forgot about something.’
When he found everything was there, he tried to check his memory with the help of his godhood. Yet Cedric doesn’t recall losing anything. So, he just shrugged it off and continued to walk toward the hotel. All he wishes for right now is a good night’s sleep.
Upon arriving at the hotel, Cedric set an alarm at 7 a.m. and slept like a log.
***
While he is sleeping.
On the empty road in front of the school Cedric visited before, a man in his early thirties can be seen running tirelessly. In his hand, some female underwear can be seen.
Behind the man, a pair of police are running after him while pointing their flashlight at the man. One of the slightly younger police shouted. “Stop, panty thief! Surrender and follow us to the police station!”
The panty thief ignored the police’s warning and continued to run. But when he saw another pair of police suddenly appear at the end of the street in front of him, the panty thief decided to enter an alleyway located next to him.
That alleyway is exactly the alleyway where Cedric drew one of his teleportation circles. And as coincidence has it, the panty thief entered the range of Cedric’s teleportation circle.
When he saw a magic circle suddenly appear and light up below him, the panty thief shouted in shock. “Wha-?”
Before the panty thief can finish his word, his body has been teleported to another place.
The two police saw the alleyway light up for a moment. But when they cautiously reached into the alley, both of them saw the panty thief had gone missing.
“He is definitely inside. We’ll definitely capture him today!” The two police continued to run further inside the alleyway, accompanied by two other policemen who had just arrived.
While those polices are busy looking for the panty thief on Earth.
Yamasaki Kame, the panty thief, has found himself stranded at an alley surrounded by buildings made of wood and stone. Those buildings look quite rough and built from irregular materials.
The wooden planks that’s used to build them seem to come from different trees and come at varying sizes. Some wood has lighter color while some have darker color.
But that’s not the weirdest part.
Just a moment ago, the sky was enveloped by darkness. But right now, the sky shone with a bright orange color. Based on the twenty years he has spent alive, Kame is sure that would’ve meant evening has arrived.
All of those sudden changes make Kame pause for a moment in shock. The shock almost made him drop the panties on his hand. “What’s going on? Where are those polices?”
He looked around and ran toward one side of the alleyway where some sound could be heard.
When he left the alley, Kame found himself in a lively market. Everywhere he sees, there are shops and pedestrians who entered or exited the shops.
Kame looked as those people wearing clothes from animal skins and plants walked around while moving from one store to another. ‘Did I accidentally enter a site for cosplay? To be more specific, some sort of prehistoric cosplay club?’
While he observed them, most of them also paused around him and whispered to each other while occasionally glancing his way.
The attention made Kame quite uncomfortable, so he decided to hide in one of the more desolate shops.
When he entered the shop, Kame could hear a rough but feminine voice. “Welcome to Liana’s shop. We accept barter and the coins issued by the Sacred Kingdom. For barter, we only accept products that could last for more than a week or popular products like wheat and milk.”
Kame turned his head and saw a tall and stout woman sitting on the shop’s counter. She is busy arranging several messy things and only turns her head toward Kame after several minutes have passed.
The moment she sees Kame, her eyes are immediately glued toward the panties Kame holds in his hand. She observed it for a long time and asked in curiosity. “Is that the napkin that has become famous among the nobles recently? I heard they are made from varying materials. Some expensive ones are even made from magical beasts and plants.”
She quickly dashed toward him as the wooden floor under her creaked with every step.
Seeing the shopkeeper who seemed to be almost two meters tall rushing toward him like a mad bull, Kame retreated a few steps backward. Luckily she stopped a few steps in front of him and gently asked while pointing at his hand. “Are you selling those napkins?
After a short thought, Kame nodded his head. Although he feels the female shopkeeper is quite a chatterbox and quite polite, he doesn’t want to take his chance and makes her mad. Especially seeing how just her arm is as big as his leg.
After nodding, he realized something. The shopkeeper is actually speaking a foreign language he has never heard before!
If that’s all, he would just think she is a foreigner. But what made him shocked was the fact that he could somehow understand what the shopkeeper was talking about. Furthermore, there is a lot of knowledge about whatever language the shopkeeper is speaking in his mind.
The shock made him freeze.
Seeing Kame nod his head, the shopkeeper smiled before raising her head and observed him.
She shifted her eyes and stared at him for a few seconds before complimenting. “What a fine and unique clothing. Are you a noble from other cities who has traveled here? I heard the customs between different cities differ from one another. What a pity, usually only nobles with blessed power and many guards or hunting groups filled with dozens of experienced hunters have the chance to move between different cities. Otherwise I would like to travel to other cities”
Before Kame could reply, the shopkeeper quickly apologized. “Ah, sorry! I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Liana and I am the owner of this shop. But, as you can see, my shop is quite deserted. So if possible, I hope you could sell your napkin for a cheaper price.”
Kame woke up from his confusion and replied with a smile. “Alright, but I have some questions I would like to ask you.”
Before Kame could ask his first question, several men wearing leather clothing and bronze spears suddenly entered the shop.
Liana stared at those people in shock. “What are the guards doing here?!”
“We are here because many people said there is a suspicious person entering this shop!” One of the guards looked at Kame and asked, “May I ask where this sir comes from?”
Sensing the intangible pressure released by those guards, Kame replied with a stutter, “I- I came from Japan.”
Hearing Kame’s reply, they stared at each other until one of them went forward and said with a frown. “There is no city nor villages called Japan under the rule of the Sacred Kingdom.”
“We are bringing you to the city lord. Please follow along with us, otherwise we are going to use force.” While he said so with a stern face, one of the guards grabbed the air in front of him and created a small fireball that only disappeared once he clenched his fist.
“Magic!” Kame shouted before quickly closing his mouth and followed them.
While being surrounded by the guard and seeing one of them even summon a fireball out of nothing. Kame finally accepted a guess he has been having since suddenly arriving at that alley. ‘Did I transmigrate to another world?’
Behind him, Liana’s shout can be heard. “Wait, let me follow you guys. He hasn’t sold his napkin to me!”
Kame rolled his eyes. ‘I need to tell her later that this is not a napkin.’
