Chapter 1: Activating the System!

In the boundless expanse of the universe, darkness reigned. Amidst the blackness, pinpricks of starlight glimmered. Here, countless planets orbited their central sun in endless repetition, and the people of Earth collectively called this place the Milky Way.

Earth

Guanning City, Huaxia

It was already ten o’clock at night, yet the streets of Guanning City bustled with life. The darkness above and the lively scene below formed a striking contrast, and anyone here could hear the beat of drums and gongs, or see a large group of women dancing in the square.

Inside a house—

“Get back and defend the base! Damn it, those idiot teammates lost again. How could we keep losing all day? Are they targeting me on purpose?”

“Screw this, I’m done playing. Always losing, what a garbage game.”

Qian Mo roared at his computer in frustration.

Forget it. Why get so worked up over a game? It’s just a game, just a game… He took a long breath, finally feeling a bit better.

Patting his chest to calm himself, Qian Mo muttered reassurance.

Outside the house—

A streak of white light, like a meteor, flashed across the dark sky, within it a solid object sparkling with starlight.

Back inside—

Qian Mo lay in his room, gazing out the window. “How beautiful… It feels as if I’m drifting in the stars themselves. Nothing compares to this feeling—not even gaming.”

He closed his eyes, savoring the moment, when suddenly a white light stabbed through his eyelids.

“Huh? Why is it so bright? It’s blinding…” Qian Mo opened his eyes, and through the window, saw a meteor hurtling straight toward him.

“Oh, hell! What is that? No way—that’s a meteor! Wait, that’s not the point—the point is, it’s coming right at me! My God, why am I so unlucky? I don’t want to die! I’m still young, I haven’t even had a girlfriend, haven’t married or started a family!”

Panicked, Qian Mo sprang from his bed, shouting in terror.

The people of Guanning City cried out in panic as well. The once peaceful city had descended into chaos; some, in their desperation to escape, even abandoned their children. Shouts and children’s wails filled the air.

But no matter how loudly they screamed, it was useless. The meteor plummeted toward them.

Boom!!!

Ah!!!!

Ah!!

Ah!

The impact shattered everything and everyone in the city to dust.

A vibrant city, countless lives—gone in an instant, all due to a single meteor.

The capital of Huaxia—

“How could this happen? Millions of lives, just… gone like that?” The leader’s face turned ashen. He closed his eyes in pain.

“Sir, you can’t blame yourself. This meteor was truly bizarre—there was no warning at all. We checked with the Astral Observatory repeatedly, but there was no sign of this meteor. The team from Lingtian reported that the meteor which struck Guanning City vanished without a trace—there’s not even a fragment left. What’s even stranger is that only Guanning City was destroyed; everything outside the city limits, even neighboring Lingxian City, remains untouched. The devastation stopped exactly a thousand meters from the city border.”

A subordinate reported.

“This… it shouldn’t be! With that kind of impact, Lingxian City should have been wiped out too. And then the meteor just disappeared… If this isn’t a problem, it must be fate. Leave me—I need some time alone.”

“Understood.”

…

At that moment—

In a blank, empty space, a body lay in the center.

“Ding! Host’s life is detected to be under threat. Plane Traversal System activation conditions met! System activating!”

“1%…10%, 50%…100%”

“Ding! Plane Traversal System successfully activated.”

“Ding! Host is in mortal danger. System is pulling host into the space for emergency treatment.”

Whoosh!

A beam of light appeared in the system’s space, carrying Qian Mo’s body.

“Ding! Initiating healing protocol.”

…

“Ding! Task complete. Healing function terminated.”

At that moment, the lifeless body stirred, breath returning.

“Huh? Wasn’t I killed by a meteor? Everything is blank… I guess I really am dead. Sigh! I never even held a girl’s hand… To die like this, it’s so unfair!”

Qian Mo lamented.

“Ding! Host, are you talking to yourself? Did the system’s treatment scramble your brain? Do you really want to die that badly?”

A voice startled Qian Mo.

“Hey! Who’s there? Come out and stop playing tricks!”

“Host, I am your Plane Traversal System, your personal system. Don’t be afraid—if I meant you harm, you’d already be dead.”

“Wow, so cocky! Wait, did I just hear… system? Incredible! You’re not messing with me, are you?”

Qian Mo asked, half in disbelief.

“The system has no reason to deceive its host. It’s real.”

“Haha! Blessed after death—I, Qian Mo, am now a man with a system! I never imagined such things actually exist in this world. It feels unreal, but who cares!”

He burst out laughing.

“Say, system, does this mean you can help me show off and soar to new heights?”

“Of course.”

“Nice! Give me the strongest, most unstoppable power right now!”

Qian Mo said excitedly.

“Host, are you stupid? All that’s up to you. The system is just a tool to assist you—it can’t give you power. You must seek strength for yourself in different worlds.”

The system replied disdainfully.

“Besides, the strength you cultivate is truly yours. What others give you never really belongs to you. Do you understand, dear host?”

“Ugh! I didn’t expect to get lectured like this… But you’re right, system—strength is best earned by oneself.”

Qian Mo replied.

“Good, as long as you understand.”

“By the way, system, after all this talk, tell me about your functions!”

“Ding! This is the Plane Traversal System, able to travel to myriad worlds and nurture the host’s growth.”

“That’s it?”

“Yes, that’s it,” the system replied coolly.

“Uh… Don’t I get a starter pack or something? Every other system seems to give out a novice gift.”

“You can claim a gift pack once you reach Level One of the Myriad Worlds. It’s the same in the future. You only need to think ‘interface’ to view your level.”

“Oh! Interface.”

System Interface

Host: Qian Mo

Gender: Male

Age: 17

Myriad Worlds Level: Zero

Items: None

Skills: None

Spatial Items: None

Worlds Reached: None

“System, how can I reach Level One?” Qian Mo asked.

“Training, defeating enemies, learning techniques and secret arts, etc.”

“How are the levels divided, and how many are there in total?”

“There are eleven levels in the Myriad Worlds. You may choose any world’s power ranking to define them—just pick one.”

“Then make it the Doupo world. I know that one best.”

“Very well. The divisions are as follows.”

Myriad Worlds Level Zero: Ordinary Human

Myriad Worlds Level One: Dou Qi, Fighter, Master, Grandmaster, Spirit, King, Emperor

Among these, Dou Qi, Fighter, and Master are the early stage of Level One.

Grandmaster, Spirit, and King are the middle stage.

Emperor is the high stage of Level One.

“What about Level Two?”

“Host’s current level is too low to view further information. You’ll unlock it upon reaching Level One.”

“Alright… Wait! If things are divided like this, doesn’t that mean the Dou Emperor ranks only around Level Three or Four? In that case, with so many levels above… Damn! I just realized—the Dou Emperor is practically an ant!”

Qian Mo exclaimed in shock.

“As long as you understand, host. You have a long road ahead—focus on your cultivation.”

The system spoke quietly.

“Alright, open the first world!”

“Ding! Drawing for world… Ding! Congratulations, host, you have drawn the novice world: Doraemon’s Twenty-Second Century!”

“There are so many useful gadgets in Doraemon’s world—a great choice!” Qian Mo said excitedly.

“Ding! Plane traversal commencing.”

“Haha! Doraemon, here I come!” With a burst of laughter, Qian Mo vanished from the space.
