Socially anxious people transmigrate to another world; living in seclusion is too difficult.

Su Yang was in unbearable pain, rolling around on the ground. This was a side effect of forcibly fusing elements. At this moment, Su Yang was on the verge of a mental breakdown. The two mental forces in his brain were pulling at each other, making Su Yang feel like he was about to be torn apart, and that his head was about to explode at any moment.

As if guided by something, Su Yang struggled to plunge into the blood and swam toward the high ground in the middle. He slowly climbed up the high ground and saw a hole in the center of the originally flat high ground. The hole was pitch black. Su Yang's eyes rolled back and he completely fainted. His body fell into the hole as if it had been cut.

"Su Yang, Su Yang!"

In a daze, Su Yang heard someone calling his name. He opened his eyes and saw that it was pitch black all around him. Die'er was calling his name worriedly from the side.

"What happened to me? Where am I?"

After saying that, another wave of pain hit him. Su Yang covered his forehead and looked at Die'er in confusion.

“Sigh, you forcibly fused with the elements. Although you killed the Ice Crystal Wolf King, the negative damage you suffered must have been considerable. I don’t even know where we are now. It should be some secret realm that requires a blood sacrifice to open.” Die’er sighed and continued, “Although you have great potential, you always like to try dangerous things. I really don’t know what to say to you. I was hoping that your existence could…” Die’er suddenly fell silent and stopped talking.

"What can my existence do?" Su Yang scratched his head and looked around, seemingly unconcerned, and continued to ask, "Secret Realm? What secret realm? Why is it so dark here?"

"It's nothing. I'll activate the elemental lighting first. It's pitch black, and I don't know if it'll be dangerous. You recover first." As Die'er spoke, she activated the power she had stored up, and the Cloud Ring on Su Yang's hand immediately emitted a faint light, illuminating only a two-meter radius around it.

"Eh..."

Su Yang sighed, found a stone wall and slowly sat down, gradually recalling what had happened before.

About three or four hours later, Su Yang finally felt that the pain was not so intense, so he got up and said, "Die'er, you probably don't have much power stored up. I've rested enough. I'll take over from here. Since we've come to this point, we can only take it one step at a time."

So Die'er turned off the light source, and Su Yang laid out the radar network while emitting light. He walked forward along the road and soon came to a door.

The gate was about 5 meters high and 4 meters wide, made of stone, and carved with two giant dragons that soared through a scene resembling clouds and mist. Two stone swords were stuck on either side of the gate, each inscribed with a line of text.

This was the first time Su Yang had seen the writing system of this world. He couldn't understand it, so he asked Die'er, "Die'er, can you help me see if this is the writing system of this world? What does it mean?"

Butterfly stepped forward, glanced at it, and replied:

"This is the script of the ancient elves, not the common script of this world. It roughly means that if you have lost your true self, do not enter this door. If you want to see through the world, you must first understand yourself."

"Hmm... I'll just write it down for now, I don't understand what it means." Su Yang was also confused after hearing this.

Su Yang then pushed open the door forcefully. As soon as the door opened, a cloud of mist rushed out, and everything in front of him was shrouded in fog. After entering, he could only see some twinkling starlight on the ceiling. Su Yang looked up and around. "Besides these starlight, there doesn't seem to be anything special." As he turned his head, he bumped into someone's back. The force of the impact made Su Yang fall to the ground. He rubbed his nose, opened his eyes again, and couldn't help but widen his eyes.

The surrounding environment suddenly reverted to the original world, and the person he bumped into was none other than Wang Li, a good friend from high school. Su Yang was surprised and puzzled, not only by the change in environment, but more importantly, by the fact that Wang Li still looked slightly immature like he did in high school.

"What's going on? Could this gate be the entrance back to the original world? Could it be possible to go back in time?" Su Yang couldn't believe it. He rubbed his eyes again, confirming that the person in front of him was indeed his high school friend, Wang Li. At this moment, Wang Li spoke up:

"What's wrong, Su Yang? Why did you suddenly sit on the ground?"

"N-nothing... I'm just a little tired," Su Yang replied casually. "Where are we going now? What are we going to do?"

Wang Li looked puzzled: "Didn't you say you were being bullied and asked me to take you to find help? How come you don't remember that?"

"Oh...oh, then hurry up and go. I was thinking about something else." Su Yang didn't know how to explain. He did remember something like this happening in high school, and it was Wang Li who stood up for him.

Wang Li stretched out his hand and smiled, "Then hurry up!"

Su Yang smiled, took Wang Li's hand, and stood up from the ground. They walked one after the other, but after only a few steps, Su Yang's eyes darkened. "This can't possibly be Wang Li. Wang Li hates physical contact with the same sex. This guy only likes to cling to the opposite sex, even if they're friends. He would never help me up like this. Who is he?" Su Yang pondered his situation. If the person before him wasn't Wang Li, then how could he look like Wang Li? How did he know things that only he and Wang Li knew? Could it be some ferocious beast playing tricks? What element was it made of? Which element possessed such power?

In an instant, countless questions and thoughts arose in Su Yang's mind, but he had no clue what to do, so he could only follow "Wang Li" step by step.

On the way, Wang Li kept talking to Su Yang, and the two talked about the silly things they had done. But the more they talked, the more frightened Su Yang became. How could this fake Wang Li know so much?

Finally, Wang Li led Su Yang to their destination. In an open space stood a group of energetic young men—some with tattoos, some with permed hair, some with blond hair—a veritable motley crew of characters. Upon seeing Wang Li and Su Yang, one of the energetic young men, seemingly the leader, stepped forward and said, "Yo, bro, not bad."

"Big brother, how's it going? Do you have enough people?" Wang Li asked, bowing and scraping.

"Don't worry, we brothers have been traveling all over the country for so many years, there's nothing we haven't accomplished. What, is this your friend?" After saying that, he stared at Su Yang and looked him up and down.

Su Yang sensed malice in the blond-haired man's gaze, which seemed to be directed at him. At this moment, the blond-haired man stared at Su Yang and spoke again, but it seemed that he was talking to Wang Li: "Alright, look at your friend's cowardly appearance. This time, I'll take care of it for you. Have you brought enough money?"

Wang Li immediately took out a wad of cash from his bag and respectfully handed it to Huang Mao, saying, "Thank you, brother. Please keep this money for the cigarettes."

Huang Mao took the document, patted Wang Li on the shoulder, and turned to Su Yang, saying, "Hey coward, are there really cowards like you in the world? Why did you willingly follow the guy who wanted to beat you up? Hahaha, but beating up cowards like you is really my favorite thing."

Su Yang snapped out of his daze. This place was clearly different from his past memories. Although Wang Li disliked same-sex contact, he was definitely not a bad friend. He wouldn't do such a thing, which proved that everything in front of him was fake, and he was still in another world. Since that was the case, he didn't need to hold back anymore. Although he hadn't seen the elemental ring on his hand on the way, it must have been blocked by some method. After thinking about it, Su Yang seemed to have his social anxiety cured by anger. He looked up at the blond-haired guy and his henchmen walking towards him and said fiercely, "Since you inhuman beasts are so bored in this underground, then I'll keep you company."
