Alex was honestly, truly surprised, just standing there on the street as the system dumped all this crazy, insane lore right into his brain.
It was a lot. Like, a lot a lot.
Apparently, if you went back about a billion years, there was life on this planet. But it was just... boring. It was your plain, old, super-boring "carbon-based life," which was just a nerd-word for regular stuff.
Basically, it was just humans and animals. A complete copy of Alex's old world.
There was no "mana." There was no "magic." All of that stuff, all the cool stuff, was just fiction. Just stories in books and movies. What a lame-ass world that must have been.
But, of course, just like his old world, those humans were naturally greedy. And they were smart, too. Too smart for their own good. They were so smart that they used science to actually build... a damn portal. A doorway to a whole other world.
