Different World: The Devil's Coming

But back to business, it's a new day, and his stress reaction ability in the morning and the strength to break his phone into pieces when it hit the wall told him that everything yesterday was not a dream. He really spent a long time in Rock Kingdom, King of Fighters and Street Fighter. Although the props in them cannot be taken out, let alone to the next world, what he learned will not disappear.

Therefore, the next plan was made. Anyway, the old man promised him that he didn't need to drink Meng Po soup, and it was known that the next world was a magical world, so he had to start preparing.

"Although I have magic, the old man said that I am an outsider. I wonder if the gods of that world will give me face and give me some magical talents. If not, then I may still become a mortal. But as for a mortal, I now know the training methods in King of Fighters and Street Fighter. Even if I am a mortal, I can grow into a fighter and become an adventurer who does whatever he wants when I grow up."

Thinking of this, Li Xiang couldn't help but look forward to the future... um, no, the life in the next life.

"Although I may be a mortal, I can also become a magician, right? If possible, it would be best to practice both magic and martial arts, which is what a time traveler should have. But magic should be about sensing the elements of heaven and earth, then absorbing the power of the elements, and finally releasing the power to form magic. That's what is written in novels, so where can I go to learn magic?

First, I have to go to a world with magic. If it is like Earth, there are probably no elements, or the power of the elements is so weak that I can't feel them. So I have to go to a world where magic is definitely there, and preferably a world where magic is used as a means of attack, so I can learn magic and use it as quickly as possible. And even if I can't learn it in my next life, I can still understand magic and use fighting skills to counter it, right?"

Thinking of this, Li Xiang started looking for magic games on the game platform, and soon locked onto a game designed for mages - Magic Power. With the mentality of "if I don't go to hell, then who will?", Li Xiang closed his eyes and slammed the table. He fainted. This was the fastest way he could think of to enter the game world, but it was a little painful.

Time passed... When Li Xiang returned to the room again, he was confused. After all, half a year had passed. Although he had some sensitivity to the elements, his 23-year-old body, according to the description in the game, had already missed the best time to learn magic. So he had been feeling the elements for the past six months, hoping to remember this feeling. If he could feel it in his next life, it would mean that his body had some magical aptitude and he could learn magic.

But in the past six months, I have at least seen a whole new world, which has broadened my horizons. Li Xiang comforted himself.

Then Li Xiang began a long and torturous journey, learning assassin skills - Assassin's Creed, practicing courage - Silent Hill...

In the end, he no longer was picky and tried all the popular games. If he learned something new, he would stay; if not, he would leave.

In this way, Li Xiang spent year after year in the game, and in the eighth year, Li Xiang suddenly realized that instead of looking for so many games, why not just find a game that has everything?

Searching his memory, Li Xiang discovered a 2D action game he had played before, which contained all kinds of professions, whether it was a magician, a fighter, an assassin, or a warlock.

This game is a dungeon, but looking at the dungeon on the computer, Li Xiang felt a little scared. After all, the dungeons nowadays are very simple in the early stages, and in the later stages... If you don’t have good equipment, don’t expect others to lead you in a team.

"But I'm playing alone, so it should be fine."

Li Xiang comforted himself and then entered the game using the old method, but it was a pity for the table...

Slowly, two years passed, the cloud of Li Xiang in the utopia dissipated, and his figure gradually emerged from the cloud...

"Is this kid's desire so strong? It's been three days, a normal person would have enjoyed it long ago, but he's still in there?"

……

"It's been five days. I'm about to leave, but this kid still won't come out? Are you really trying to make me break my promise? No, I won't let you succeed."

……

"It's been seven days, is this kid just living a life of luxury in there and not willing to come out? Humph! I'll only wait for ten days. If he doesn't come out, I'll leave and we'll just assume that we're not destined to be together."

……

"It's been ten days, did you die in there? No, you can't die here... Then how much desire do you have? You're taking drugs."

Just as the old man outside was wailing, the clouds in front of him began to dissipate. The old man then became alert, quickly tidied his clothes, pretended to be sophisticated, and quietly looked at Li Xiang who was slowly appearing in front of him.

"Is it over..."

Li Xiang opened his eyes and seemed a little reluctant, but he still stood up and walked out of the cloud, looked at the old man and spoke calmly.

"Yeah, it's finally over, and you have to leave too."

After saying that, the old man turned and left. Li Xiang looked back at the clouds that had dispersed, then followed the old man.

The two of them said nothing on the way. The old man did not ask Li Xiang about his desires, and Li Xiang did not ask where the old man was taking him. The two of them were like strangers, and this was indeed the case. After all, one was a fairy and the other was a human.

After passing through a wall of clouds, the familiar underworld appeared before our eyes. Its main color was dark red, and countless ghosts lined up neatly and headed towards the gates of hell.

Li Xiang followed the old man through the team, passed through the gates of hell, and set foot on the road to the underworld. On the road, there were flowers of the other shore, but no leaves. The flowers and leaves never saw each other again, and they missed each other and cherished each other forever.

There are many lonely ghosts on the Yellow Springs Road. They are those who died abnormally before the end of their life span. They can neither go to heaven, nor be reincarnated, nor go to the underworld. They can only wander on the Yellow Springs Road and wait for the end of their life span before they can report to the Netherworld and await the decision of King Yama.

At the end of the road there is a river called Wangchuan River. The water is blood yellow, filled with lonely ghosts who have not been reincarnated, full of insects and snakes, and a fishy wind blows in the face.

There is a bridge on the river called Naihe Bridge. After crossing the bridge, there is a platform called Wangxiang Terrace, which is a place where ghosts who have entered hell can look at the situation of their families in the world of the living.

Next to the Wangxiang Terrace, there is a pavilion called Mengpo Pavilion, where a woman named Mengpo waits and hands a bowl of Mengpo soup to every passerby.

There is a stone called the Three Lives Stone by the Forgetful River. If Meng Po soup makes you forget everything, then the Three Lives Stone records your past, present and future lives.

Every ghost walks across the Naihe Bridge, stands on the Wangxiang Terrace to take one last look at the human world, and then drinks a bowl of Mengpo soup to forget their present life and reincarnation.
