"You evil corruptor, you stole state money because of your greed, now you just have to wait for your execution time, hmph, you have to become a monk in your next life," a prison warden pushed him into a narrow cell with little light.
The warden then locked the cell door before leaving.
The cell is very humid and has little air. He had just entered it but he was already feeling really bad.
He has congenital asthma. It had almost disappeared at first, but it had reappeared ever since he was caught.
In that cell, his asthma got so bad that his breathing began to stutter.
Corrupts in this country are treated very badly, especially those who will be sentenced to death, they will be made to suffer until they cry every day.
"Shit," he cursed as he hit the floor.
The pain from hitting the concrete floor was barely felt due to his bad mood.
He is 28 years old with a very brilliant political career.
He can already be considered an official in the provincial government.
But all were destroyed because of one corruption case.
He did get involved, but he was basically just a minor player.
However, all the blame was ultimately on him so the death penalty was the only punishment he deserved.
The main player who has a big background managed to survive by escaping abroad.
"I was so stupid, I should have focused on my career, becoming a future high-ranking official of the country and having power in my hands, but I got hooked on a little money so my life was totally ruined."
Good or evil it is a matter of one's personality. He may not be a good person, but if his goal is to become a ruler, he should be disdain for those sheets of paper with numbers.
He couldn't deny his guilt.
Some people say that you will succeed the first time you commit a crime. But what happened to him?
Those experienced at it were probably laughing at him right now. He will be an example of a failure.
"A month or two? I'm not sure when I'll be executed, but I may not live to that day."
"Cough, cough..." He started coughing from lack of breath.
He wanted to scream for help but he knew that no one would save him.
Now he is starting to regret the fact that he never fought for human rights in his country.
There wasn't even a mattress in the cell, let alone a bathroom. The only thing there was a small pillow that looked as hard as wood.
In his current state, lying down would only make it more difficult for him to breathe.
But he couldn't help but tug at the pillow when he saw the fingernail-sized object on the pillow.
He picked it up and took a closer look.
"What's this?" He wondered.
It looked like a piece of broken glass, but it had a box-like shape.
He couldn't see it clearly, so he moved to the back wall of the cell.
Above the wall, there is a small glass window through which light enters.
It was probably because he knew his fate would end, so even a strange object like that caught his eye.
In order to sit more comfortably, he leaned his back against the left wall of the cell.
However, the moment he tried to lean his back against the wall, he suddenly fell as if there were no walls behind him.
He didn't have time to think, suddenly, his body was sucked in by something.
It felt like he was being sucked in by a whirlpool.
The sight of the cell instantly disappeared from his eyes the moment it happened. Then, the surroundings turned into something that looked like a spatial vortex.
He thought it was a spatial vortex because it was very similar to the spatial vortex he saw in the anime.
"Is this a portal to another world?"
Right after he said that, he felt his body hit something. It felt like he had landed on the ground.
Immediately after that the scene in front of him changed.
He saw a very clear sky.
He couldn't tell the difference between the sky he saw now and the sky on earth, but he somehow felt that this sky was much wider than the sky on earth.

A robot-like voice appeared in his head.
After that, a transparent virtual screen appeared in front of his eyes.
He didn't have time to observe the virtual screen, suddenly, he felt something enter his head, his brain to be precise.
It was a very strange feeling, he was experiencing it for the first time.
If he were to guess, it might feel like when a computer was receiving data. But he wasn't a computer, so he couldn't be sure.
One thing he was sure of was that there was currently something protecting his head. If it wasn't for that, his head would probably explode from something that entered his head.
It didn't take long before he realized what it was.
A language.
He suddenly mastered a new language.
He wasn't sure how it happened either, but right now there really was a new language emerging in his mind.
And it was the mother tongue where he could feel the real sensation of that language.
"It's really a miracle," he said.
He also admired the new language.
He grew up as a bilingual and later mastered English.
As a trilingual, he knows that there are big differences in each language. There are simple languages, and there are very complex languages with more vocabulary and terms.
On earth, English is one of the languages with the most vocabulary. However, this language that suddenly appeared in his head?
He couldn't say how perfect it was, but he felt like every thing had its own term in the language.
"Certainly this isn't just a naturally occurring language, it may have been developed by linguists."
...
Yi Yun then sat down. The air in the world was very clean, he found his breathing improving very quickly.
Around him, he saw small hills covered by meadows. There are also several small but leafy trees on each of the hills.
Among the hills, he saw large stones of various shapes.
"What world is this?" He wondered, he then stood up while massaging his slightly sore head from the impact.
The transparent virtual screen was still in front of his eyes, oh, he saw the "close window" button on the upper right side of the screen.
The data on the screen made him recall the game stats on earth.
Transmigration, reincarnation, system, cultivation, magic. Many thoughts appeared in his mind.
After all, he wasn't a person without knowledge of those things. He had read novels, watched anime, and played games in his spare time, things related to fantasy were deeply ingrained in his head.
'Oh, my stats are so low, I really am so weak.'
He then looked down at his hand, the broken glass-like object still in his hand.
"What the hell is this?"
Despite arriving in a strange world, he did not find anything strange or spiritual about it.
"Or is this just an ordinary thing?"
"Oh, I should focus on understanding this place first?"
"Is there a way to go back?"
"But even if I can't go back, it's still fine. I'll be considered dead or run away, it's better if my family believes the latter."
He was right at the foot of a hill. He then climbed the hill. It was about 8 meters high.
Luckily the hill wasn't too uphill, it was pretty flat, so he didn't feel too tired while climbing it.
There are some trees on the hill, they are mango trees and they are already bearing fruit.
When he was near the trees, he could smell the sweet aroma of the mangoes.
"What kind of mangoes are these? They give off a great smell even when they're still on the tree."
His opinion of this world was that it was too fantasy.
He then looked around from the top of the hill.
As far as the eye could see, he found nothing but other hills.
The problem was that he couldn't see very far because there were many hills blocking his view. He wouldn't know even if there was a village or town behind those hills.
"Oh my god, where should I go?"
Not finding the answer to his question, he finally decided to pick a mango.
Compared to just looking at it, touching it directly gave him more sensation.
He didn't have a knife, so he peeled the mango with his mouth. He had never done that before, but he had seen village children do it when he was on a official trip.
"It's so easy," he quickly peeled the mango.
After seeing the mango flesh, he immediately put it in his mouth. Of course, he bit it first to separate it from its seed.
"Mmmm...," he couldn't help but put on a drunken expression.
There was no doubt that it was the most delicious fruit he had ever tasted. It was sweet mixed with a hint of sourness that his tongue trembled as he tasted it.
"You idiot, picking that mango will wake the mango tree."
Yi Yun, "..."
He didn't know who was speaking, it was a male voice that sounded very smooth, almost like a female voice.
The voice spoke in the language of that world, but with a slightly awkward accent.
Yi Yun knew he would also speak with such an accent when he spoke in that language. Even if it's your native language, if you don't use it often, you'll feel awkward when you use it. That may not apply to those who only have one mother tongue, but those who have two mother tongues must have felt it.
Whosss...
Suddenly the branch of the tree where he was picking the mango swings towards him.
He didn't know how a tree branch could swing like that, but there was no doubt that his bones would break in two if he was hit by a tree branch.
Luckily the person who spoke didn't just speak to ridicule him. A young man with a sword in hand then appeared in front of him.
Xiu...
He slashed the sword at the branch of the tree, causing the branch to be cut off. After that, he turned towards Yi Yun.
He was so young, Yi Yun thought he was only 15 years old with a height of maybe less than 160cm.
He has a skin color similar to that of a mixed European and east Asian bloodline.
However, his eyes and hair were white as snow.
His body was a bit thin and his face could be said to be beautiful, one would think he was a woman if it weren't for him wearing men's clothes.
However, the clothes he was wearing didn't look like the clothes of people in a fantasy world, he was wearing a black long-sleeved T-shirt with a white vest on it. They look similar to clothes on earth, but look much more futuristic.
Shua...
The youth moved towards him, he arrived beside him in an instant. He then reached out to catch his hand, after which, he pulled his hand away.
Yi Yun's body was quite thin, but he was after all, already 28 years old, he was naturally much fatter than the young man. But the latter can pull him in as if he were just a plastic bag. His body floated in the air as he withdrew his hand while running.
Yi Yun, "..."
'Seems like this world is much more complicated than I thought?'
He felt that the young man might not be from this world.
The young man continued to run, his speed probably faster than the fastest runner on earth. He is also so agile that he can jump from rock to rock.
Besides, he didn't look exhausted at all. He continued to run like the wind that never stopped moving, Yi Yun had even forgotten how many hills they had already crossed.
He then stopped at a hill that was quite high and had no trees on it.
After stopping, he immediately threw Yi Yun down as if he was nothing but trash.
Fortunately as a politician with a brilliant career, the thing Yi Yun was most good at was holding back his anger and pretending.
The youth looked towards the North after he threw it. Yi Yun followed the direction of his gaze, there, he saw an ancient small town with a fortress surrounding it.
The town was not like the ancient city of Europe or China, Yi Yun was not sure which culture was similar to it on earth.
He also saw the people in that town.
Most of them wear futuristic looking clothes, but if you look at the details on their clothes, they seem to represent a different culture.
Their faces themselves have different characteristics.
Although curious, Yi Yun finally refrained from asking.
He wanted to ask the young man if he was from another world, but asking that question obviously had a risk. What if he really was a native, and his accent was purely due to his tongue problem, he would be in trouble because of his question.
Just that and the clothes he was wearing weren't enough to prove that he was from another world.
And the people of that town what if the people of this world were really like them.
The young man then took a step. He seemed to want to go alone.
But after taking two steps, he suddenly stopped and then spoke.
"Since I am the first person you meet in this world, I will give you a piece of advice; never say anything about the world you come from to anyone else!"
After saying that, he immediately resumed his pace. He started running after being about 10 meters away from Yi Yun.
What he said made Yi Yun fall into a deep contemplation.
The young man's words made him realize many things, to be more precise he guessed many things.
