On Earth No. 37.952, inside a hotel.
The instant Cedric woke up, he saw several notifications from the System.
[You’ve spent 100 GP to transfer one person from Earth.]
[You’ve spent 100 GP to transfer one person from Earth.]
The notification woke him up as his eyes widened. ”Open my status panel!”
[Name: Cedric Hills

Law: None.
World: Crystal Cube World
World Level: 1
World’s Average Potential: Lower Level 0

“What the hell, what’s going on?!” Cedric scratched his head while his mind went into confusion.
[The two teleportations you left last night have activated and teleported two people from Earth.]
Cedric’s expression changed, and he opened the shop to reread the description of the teleportation circle. “Damn it, that teleportation circle actually has no off button! So this is what I actually forgot about last night!”
He then opened his smart phone and saw the time written on it, “It’s just 6 pm, only a few hours have passed and things have already turned into such a mes… wait a minute! 6 PM?!”
Cedric turned his head to check the digital clock placed on the hotel room he was in and saw it show 6:48 pm on the screen.
He took a deep breath. “I actually slept for so long? I almost slept for 24 hours straight! Wait, that’s not important for now. Let’s check the status of the two people I accidentally teleported first.”
Cedric closed his eyes and observed the Crystal Cube World. He first decided to look around the Black Sand city, which is the city he accidentally set as coordinate after missing the Winter City.
“No disaster, no plague, no war, nor anything dangerous. Although that stupid summoning circle has no on/off button, at least it doesn’t import the pathogen from Earth to the Crystal Cube world.” Cedric sighed in relief while observing the people that are busy with their daily life in the city. With Earth’s insane 1:365 time dilation, just one day is enough for the virus from Earth to spread around the world and kill most living beings.
“Eh? That’s right, I am currently on Earth. Shouldn’t the scene in Crystal Cube world get fast forwarded by 365 times? How come I saw everything on the Crystal Cube world move at normal speed?”
[The godhood’s calculation ability has instinctively helped you to observe the scene in the Crystal Cube world as per normal.]
“So, godhood basically helped me to slow down time by 365 times?”
[Only in your perception. It basically allows you to observe things in ‘bullet time’. Note: it is not recommended for you to keep such a state for a long time. Especially seeing as you are still extremely weak.]
He gasped at that explanation before shaking his head. “It’s no time to get amazed. I still need to find those transmigrators.”
After looking around the city, he finally found a guy suspected to be a transmigrator currently busy chatting with a burly woman while sitting inside the Black Sand city lord’s house.
To make sure, Cedric activated his Past Observation ability and checked that man’s past. When he saw him appear out of thin air a few months ago, Cedric is now certain that the man he saw is the transmigrator he accidentally teleported.
‘So he is called Kame? I just hope he will have a good potential level.’ ‘While internally chanting and praying for that guy to have good potential, Cedric activated his Divine Sight and saw Kame’s stats.
[Life Level: Lower level 0
Potential: Lower level 1]
“Well, it’s not all that high. But it is still acceptable, I guess.” He then observed Kame for a while more and found out he actually brought some ideas and prototypes for items from Earth into the Crystal Cube world. Although most of them are only simple items like some basic farm equipment or the knowledge about iron, it still makes Cedric smile. “This is quite a pleasant surprise.”
Cedric observed Kame for a long time before stopping.
He then switched his attention toward Winter City and looked around. First, he entered the palace and checked whether Lacius had caused some sort of mess.
After making sure Lacius hadn’t caused any mess and had even finished introducing the currency system while developing many villages to support the population boom, Cedric could now pat his chest in relief.
He then turned his attention to another person. She is a woman in her late twenties and wore a robe made of wool that has been colored black. On her beautiful face, there are traces of makeup made out of precious magical plants.
Looking at that sight, Cedirc is a bit speechless. “Yeah, this woman is definitely the transmigrator. Furthermore, she seems to be living her best life in another world.”
He activated Past Observation and checked the event happening in Winter City for the past months.
Just like Kame, the woman called Tsukiko also brought a lot of knowledge from Earth. The wool cloth and makeup on her body is among the fruits of that knowledge.
Unauthorized content usage: if you discover this narrative on Amazon, report the violation.
Except for the knowledge and the technology to craft wool clothes. Tsukiko has also done several things like crafting basic written language, successfully created several foods from Crystal Cube world’s native plants, and helped Lacius in urban planning by introducing sewage and clean water systems with the help of nearby rivers.
How a random woman could have that kind of knowledge is beyond his understanding. But because it is beneficial to the Crystal Cube world and Cedric still has other important things to attend to, He decided to just let it slide.
After checking the changes brought by Tsukiko, Cedric prepared to check her potential.
To be honest, even if Tsukiko’s potential turned out to be low, he wouldn’t feel much disappointment. Just seeing the change she caused makes Cedric feel the 100 GP is definitely worth it.
While thinking so in his mind, Cedric activated his Divine Sight and observed Tsukiko, who was busy training her control over the blessed power she recently awakened.
[Life Level: Mid level 0
Potential: Lower level 2]
“Lower Level 2?!” Cedric shouted in astonishment before turning slightly disappointed.
“It’s a pity. If only she has a mid-level 2 potential or above, that means I wouldn’t need to look for another person as a hero and could save some GP.” He shook his head in regret and stopped observing the Crystal Cube world.
Standing up from the hotel bed, Cedric walked towards the window and watched the city view while preparing his plan.
Although night had arrived, he could see that some nearby areas were still quite lively. For example, there are a lot of people walking on the street in front of the hotel.
While watching the city from the window, his stomach suddenly growled. “Let’s grab something to eat first.”
He walked out of his room and went towards the restaurant located on the hotel’s second floor.
While walking, Cedric constantly activated his Divine Sight and checked the potential of everyone he met.
What a pity, even after he arrived in the restaurant and finished eating, most of the people he saw had potential less than level 2. Only one person has early level 2 potential.
The one with early level 2 potential is a young mother. She entered the hotel’s restaurant while smiling and holding her child with her right hand.
Cedric looked at the scene and shook his head. ‘It seems I need to look somewhere else. If I failed to find someone more suitable than the highschool boy I met before, then I’ll simply choose him.’
After paying the bill, Cedric exited the restaurant and looked around before randomly walking in a direction. He walked along the crowded area before finally his surroundings turned slightly desolate.
“Guess there is no result today.” He mumbled while opening his phone to check the map.
“Eh?” On the map, he saw the highschool where he placed the two Teleportation Circle is actually only a few hundred meters away.
Cedric contemplated for a moment and felt it might be fate.
He decided to do a check at the school’s surroundings before returning to the hotel to rest. This time he will definitely succeed in teleporting the highschool boy he found before to the Crystal Cube world.
While walking toward that high school, he remembered something and opened the clock apps. He added several alarms to wake him up. Starting from three a.m., every alarm has a five-minute delay up to four a.m.
Around that time, most of the teachers and students shouldn’t have arrived yet. He will have just enough time to draw the teleportation circle and guard it before pushing the boy he chooses to the teleportation circle.
When Cedric arrived nearby the school, he checked every alley around the school before deciding on one of them as his target. The alley he selected is just wide enough for the teleportation circle to be drawn. Furthermore, it leads to a dead end, which means the amount of people who walk by it will be quite low.
After finding a good location, Cedric remembered it and prepared to return to the hotel. He’ll draw the teleportation circle tomorrow morning to block any chance of an accident happening.
Silently leaving the alley, he walked towards the hotel while checking his phone. “Is it 11 p.m already?”
‘I think I’ve slept for too long and don’t feel sleepy at all. So, I’ll just look for a nearby restaurant and wait until 4 a.m.’ As he thought so, Cedric walked while scrolling through social media.
After a few minutes of random walk, a bright light pulled his attention from the phone. Raising his head, Cedric saw a convenience store located a few meters away. Behind the store’s glass window, there is a long table and several empty chairs.
‘I’ll just wait at that convenience store.’ Cedric thought so and entered the store. He chose a cup noodle and a drink, then brought them to the cashier.
Standing in front of the cashier, Cedric habitually activated his Divine Sight and saw the cashier’s potential.
“Oh.. oh my god!” Accidentally dropping the drink on his hand, Cedric rubbed his eyes hard before reopening them.
[Life Level: Lower level 0
Potential: Lower level 3]
He actually found someone with level 3 potential!
Furthermore, the cashier looks like he is around twenty years old, which is just perfect! He isn’t too old nor too young.
‘This time I won’t fail. I’ll bring this guy to the Crystal Cube world immediately!’
After his thought reached that point, Cedric realized his shout might’ve shocked the cashier and quickly apologized, “Ah! I am sorry, I’ll pay for the drink.”
After paying for the drink, he tried to calm down and exited the store to check the surrounding street.
When he saw there were no people in the surroundings, Cedric asked the System. ‘I want to purchase an item that can hide the scene where I drew the teleportation circle while making me appear mysterious and divine in front of that cashier!’
[Based on the requirement, it is recommended to purchase Level 1 Magician’s Smoke Screen.]
[Level 1 Consumable Divine Item, Magician’s Smoke Screen.
Detail: Upon shattering the item, create a twenty meter radius smoke screen that can last for 10 minutes. Within the smoke, the user can create illusions or block other’s perception. The illusions can only affect sight and hearings. Only effective to those at level 1 and below.
Cost: 2 GP]
Cedric read the description of [Magician’s Smoke Screen] and asked the System, ‘How do I control the illusion in the smoke? Can you elaborate more on its function?’
[To control the smoke generated by ‘Magician’s Smoke Bomb’, simply spread your mental power into the smoke. As for its ability, you can create illusions or make things seemingly vanish by enveloping them with illusions.]
After some consideration, he purchased three [Magician’s Smoke Bomb]. The moment Cedric pressed the purchase button, he could feel three grape sized beads appear on his palm.
Standing a few meters away from the convenience store, he checked his surroundings for any trace of CCTV or other recording equipment. When he felt there was no CCTV pointing toward his location, Cedric quickly shattered one of the beads in his palm.
From the shattered bead, a cloud like smoke appeared and instantly enveloped him.
Seeing the surrounding smokes, Cedric spread his mental power and willed himself to disappear from sight while controlling the smoke to turn fainter.
Clutching the [Drawing Crayon For Interdimensional Teleportation Circle], he moved into a corner and squatted while quickly drawing the teleportation circle.
While drawing the teleportation circle, he released all of his ability and successfully drew it in slightly less than twenty minutes.
When the teleportation circle was done, Cedric prepared to bring the cashier outside. But when he saw the cashier was currently standing next to the door while talking with a slightly older man, Cedric decided to go toward them instead. After all, the convenient store’s entrance is still within the area of the teleportation circle.
Without further ado, Cedric intensified the mists surrounding him before removing the illusions that blocked himself from other’s perception.
Next, he created the costumes he usually wore when talking with creatures from the Crystal Cube world while in the Dream Space. The costumes included his robe, staff, sword, crown, complete with the light that usually enveloped his face.
Last, Cedric controlled the smoke to make his voice sound grander by adding an effect that made every word he spoke have the sound of several peoples of varying age and gender.
With every preparation ready, Cedric shows himself in front of the two people while spreading his arms. “Ooo… destined hero from another world. Please defeat the demon king and save my world from its demise.”
