Chapter 263 - A Wondrous Beginning

Chapter 1 – A Wondrous Beginning

This was a world where humans and mysterious beings coexisted.

These mysterious beings came in countless forms—some were intelligent non-human species, others were invaders from outer space, and some were the result of mutated animals caused by environmental pollution.

And it didn't stop there. Even humans could transform into mysterious creatures due to unhealthy habits, extreme psychological trauma, or genetic mutations.

To deal with these threats, mankind had classified these beings into five danger levels:

God-Level: A threat to the very survival of humanity.

Dragon-Level: Capable of annihilating multiple cities at once.

Demon-Level: Could completely destroy or paralyze a single city.

Tiger-Level: Causes massive casualties.

Wolf-Level: Has the potential to be dangerous.

— — —

In response to these ever-growing threats, humanity itself gave birth to a new breed of individuals—those with extraordinary powers and unique mutations.

They were known as Heroes.

— — —

Z City.

With a dazed expression, Zenin Kyūjō stood motionless in the middle of a busy intersection.

Who am I? Where... am I? Did I die...?

— — —

His head still felt a little hazy. Letting the crowd guide his steps, Kyūjō wandered to the edge of the intersection and stepped into a cozy-looking restaurant.

A cheerful waitress dressed in a maid uniform hurried over with a smile.

"Welcome, handsome! May I take your order?"

Kyūjō hesitated for a moment, then reached into his pocket and pulled out a wallet. From it, he raised a ten-thousand-yen bill.

"Can this currency... be used here?"

The waitress blinked, then let out a soft laugh.

"Eh? Of course it can, handsome! Don't joke with me~"

"In that case, I'll have your house specialty. Thank you."

After placing his order, Kyūjō chose a quiet seat in the corner and sat down.

As he waited, he silently activated his Infinity Sense System, scanning his own body while also probing the power system of this world...

Body Status

Name: Zenin Kyūjō

Gender: Male

Age: 16

Physical strength has fully transferred. Mild headache persists—most likely due to energy overload from the previous world.

Cursed Energy (Jujutsu): 0

"Tch… how annoying…"

Years of training with Cursed Energy—gone in an instant?

So that means... I can't even use Black Flash anymore?

— — —

Taking a deep breath to calm himself, Kyūjō continued the scan.

But then—something familiar tugged at the edge of his senses...

This feeling…

Future Sight?

No, it was something else. His eyes widened as he realized it.

He had awakened Kenbunshoku Haki—Observation Haki!

A grin crept across his face.

That means… I can still use Haki in this world!

Now then... what about Chakra?

He focused—and in the blink of an eye, his body responded.

He could circulate Chakra!

This meant he could once again combine Chakra with Haki... and rebuild his Star Force!

There was one difference, though. The ambient energy in this world could replace Natural Energy from the Shinobi World to generate Chakra, though its characteristics felt slightly off.

If natural energy in the Ninja World flowed like wind, this world's energy was more like water—gentle, absorbent, and compatible with various power systems.

Could this energy also replace Reishi to enhance the Soul?

The moment he tested it, Kyūjō's eyes lit up in disbelief.

He could wield Soul-based powers—like the Shinigami of Bleach!

Haki, Chakra, Reiatsu—three great systems, all accessible.

He could fuse them again... and revive Star Force.

In this world... he might truly become unstoppable.

No—he would become a true god.

What an unbelievable way to start things off…

Excitement welled up in his chest as he muttered to himself.

Cursed Energy? You're asking about that?

Forget it… don't get close to me.

Cursed Energy: ?

— — —

Just imagine his smug face as he realized he basically hit the multiversal lottery.

Still... let's just hope he doesn't run into the bald guy too soon.

— — —

After finishing his meal, Kyūjō left the restaurant and headed toward the outskirts of town.

He found a quiet open field and activated his Infinity Sense to full power, entering Breathing Technique v4.0 mode.

The moment he began drawing in energy, his strength skyrocketed.

His physical body grew stronger by the second, and simultaneously, his Chakra, Colorless Haki, and Spiritual Pressure surged alongside it.

However, the Star Force still couldn't manifest—it required a higher threshold of power. The three main energies needed to reach their peak first.

After training intensely for half a day, Kyūjō began to notice something strange.

The energy here… no matter how much he absorbed, it never seemed to run out.

In other worlds, drawing too much energy would cause natural anomalies, or at the very least, environmental damage. That was why he usually trained in isolation.

But here? Even with large-scale absorption, nothing happened.

No tremors. No imbalance. No reaction.

It was as if the world's energy was infinite… no matter how much he took.

That's a good thing… right?

But if that's true... does that also mean monsters far beyond imagination could be born from this energy?

— — —

He shook his head.

No point worrying. For now, all he could feel was the exhilarating rush of getting stronger!

With a calm breath, he turned back toward the city, activating Infinity Sense's Auto Training Mode as he walked.

If there are no side effects, why bother hiding out like some caveman?

— — —

Meanwhile, in the city center…

"Why don't people use phone booths anymore?"

"Phone booths must not go extinct!"

"Humans can't survive without phone booths! Just like the West can't lose Jerusalem!"

"AAAAHHHHHH!!"

A massive living phone booth, complete with arms and the face of a middle-aged man, clutched a receiver and brawled wildly with a blonde teenager holding a smartphone.

Unfortunately for the blonde... he was clearly losing.

Kyūjō—who thought he'd already seen the weirdest things across multiple worlds—froze.

What the hell is that...?

A phone booth... turned monster… and now it's beating people up?

After observing for a moment, Kyūjō sighed and took a step forward.

Still unfamiliar with the rules of this world, he spoke with calm authority:

"Hey… that's enough. Both of you, stop fighting."

"If needed… I can help you file a report with the authorities."
