Chapter 1: Transmigrating into a Crossover Anime World, Becoming the Young Version of God!
Chiba, Japan.
Makuhari Seaside Park.
By the lotus pond, a gentle breeze rippled the water's surface.
"No way, ROB-sama? The gun was already loaded, and now you're telling me I'm getting isekai'd?"
Raku Sou stared blankly at the unfamiliar surroundings, his face full of confusion.
Ever since he decided to give up on buying a house, getting married, and settled for having some spare cash, his luck with women skyrocketed uncontrollably.
At this anime convention, he struck up a conversation with a girl cosplaying as Raiden Shogun.
Those headlights, that snake-like slender waist, those round, peach-like curves...
Enough to drive any man insane!
Since they hit it off, they quickly headed to a hotel, ready to exchange a few techniques and share some experience.
Yet now, he was isekai'd?
"At least give me another half an hour... no, two hours!"
Raku Sou was filled with resentment and dissatisfaction, but there was nothing he could do.
Moreover, he had transmigrated with his actual body—his phone couldn't connect to the internet or make calls, the two thousand yen in his wallet had become counterfeit money, and he himself had no legal identity here.
He subtly asked a few passersby for information.
The result? He had been transported to a parallel version of Japan.
And it was 2012—the year the Mayan civilization predicted the end of the world.
However, this world was larger, more populated.
Strangely, its security was much worse, making people more superstitious.
Just during his short walk, he saw many shrines.
These shrines were ancient, with faded talismans fluttering lightly in the wind.
Incense smoke curled in the air, painting a scene of prosperity.
Even within this park, many Onmyoji in elaborate attire could be seen, their faces always adorned with a smile, holding professional fortune-telling tools as they earnestly read fortunes for customers.
Yet despite their thriving business, these Onmyoji all looked at Raku Sou with hostility, leaving him puzzled.
Looking down into the pond's reflection, Raku Sou examined himself and immediately understood why.
He was still wearing the luxurious cosplay outfit embroidered with gold and silver thread from the anime convention.
Moreover...
"Tsk~ If I had this kind of looks before, I could've seduced the landlady and her daughter and lived rent-free."
Raku Sou crouched by the pond, resting his chin on his hand, deep in thought.
His face hadn't changed, but his skin had improved by several levels. Not quite "white as snow," but at least "features like jade."
Originally, his looks were already decent, but now they had skyrocketed to a level that could only be described as ikemen tier.
Beyond appearance, it seemed his height had also increased significantly.
Previously, he was of average stature. Now, he was tall and well-proportioned, with the golden ratio of an ideal physique.
A handsome face, a tall build, noble attire, and an aura of profound mystery.
No wonder the fortune-tellers felt threatened.
Suddenly, a thoughtful glint flashed through Raku Sou's eyes as he slowly lowered his head, sinking into contemplation.
A moment later…
A smug smile curled at the corners of his lips as he stepped out of the public restroom.
Not bad, not bad—this is a well-rounded upgrade.
If he were in an ero manga, even a hundred heroines wouldn't be enough for him.
And to top it off—double the pleasure—he had just discovered his cheat ability... after shouting every embarrassing isekai protagonist line he could think of.
By silently chanting [Void], a silver ripple appeared in the corner of his vision.
At the edge of this ripple, a panel displayed detailed information about him, along with a numerical indicator.
[Creator: Raku Sou]
[Life Rank: Mortal Realm (First Stage)]
[Theoretical Lifespan: 70 years]
[Divine Authority Jade: 0]
He could clearly feel that the silver ripple was a part of him—an extension of his very existence.
Moreover, he could sense an absolute nature within it.
And [Void] had only one function: [Phantasm Manifestation].
As long as he had enough Divine Authority Jade as energy, he could create anything—whether it was the Bamboo Copter from Doraemon, Android 18 from Dragon Ball, or even glowing fried rice from Shokugeki no Soma…
Anything that had ever appeared in humanity's fictional works, he could manifest into reality.
A young version of God, no doubt about it.
And as for how to obtain Divine Authority Jade, he instinctively understood.
He just needed others to believe in what he said or acknowledge the things he made up.
Their faith would be converted into Divine Authority Jade.
The stronger their belief, and the wider his influence, the greater the amount of Divine Authority Jade he would receive.
Moreover, even without spending Divine Authority Jade, if he simply focused on someone, a general information line would appear above their head.
Basically, he had True Sight—an ability ridiculously valuable in modern society.
This cheat was so absurd it was laughable.
Raku Sou's smile bloomed like spring wind.
Calm down.
Calm down.
It's just a golden finger, right? What kind of isekai protagonist doesn't have one?
Besides, this was clearly the type of cheat that required time to grow, meaning it wouldn't be of immediate use.
The important question right now was… what to eat for lunch? Where to sleep tonight?
He took deep breaths, using self-suggestion to steady himself.
Then, suddenly—
"Master, how much to read my fortune?"
A lively, sweet voice rang out.
Raku Sou looked up in surprise—then immediately, his mind went blank.
Oh my gotto!
Oppai Dekai!
[Hoshino Ai]
[Age: 15 years]
[Occupation: Idol Trainee]
[Fate: Divine Voice (Light Blue), Tragic Beauty (Light Red), Blessed with Many Children (Light Red).]
[Lifespan: 20 years]
[Status: Confused (Considering whether to start dating)]
In front of him stood a girl with a mischievous smile, bursting with vitality, her eyes twinkling like a fairy's.
Dressed exquisitely in branded clothes, her purple, six-pointed star-like eyes were stunning beyond words.
"Hoshino Ai..."
Raku Sou unconsciously murmured her name.
"Master, you know me?"
Hoshino Ai's eyes widened in surprise.
Raku Sou let out a faint chuckle, as if everything was already within his grasp, as if he knew without needing to explain.
"Hmph! Just another fraud who pretends to be all-knowing."
A nearby Onmyoji with a small mustache scoffed, attempting to expose Raku Sou's "trickery."
However, Hoshino Ai didn't care—on the contrary, she looked at the man in front of her with curiosity.
The mustached Onmyoji had no idea that Ai wasn't from Chiba. She was an idol trainee who had come here for a tour performance, and her visit to Makuhari Seaside Park was a spur-of-the-moment decision. She wasn't even carrying any form of identification.
Wait a minute…
So how did this handsome mage know her name?
If he had kept quiet, she wouldn't have thought much of it.
But since he said it out loud, it felt suspicious.
She took a closer look at the mage before her.
Around twenty years old, handsome, and features like jade.
On top of that, he was tall, dressed in a black fitted shirt, with an ivory-white cloak draped over his shoulders, its sleeves wide and flowing.
Golden embroidery of a phoenix adorned his collar and cuffs, its delicate wings poised for flight.
He wore black fingerless gloves extending up to his forearms, while two silk ribbons with black ink characters hung loosely from his shoulders.
He looked exquisitely noble.
As the gentle wind blew, the silk ribbons fluttered, their mystical symbols seemingly coming to life, making everything about him feel lofty, enigmatic, and magnificent.
More importantly…
His skin was so flawless she actually felt jealous.
There's no way he's an ordinary person!
[The faith from Hoshino Ai, Divine Authority Jade +0.01!]
