Chapter 1 - World Jump.

In a beautiful palace situated atop a peak that is surrounded by mist making it look like a fairy land. 

There sits a man on a throne, leaning his chin on his fist with his eyes closed. 

He looks like he is close yet also far away at the same time, his long satin black hair cascades down below his shoulders.

The sunlight shining through the open palace doors reflects off his milky snow white skin completely free of blemishes. 

His features were sharp as carved jade, and brows like drawn blades.

In this quiet that seems nearly illegal to break an eccentric sound flares.

[Ding! The system has woken up from its long sleep!]

The man opened his eyes and a brief look of surprise flashed across his eyes, but disappeared as fast as it appeared. 

[Hello host! It's your beloved system. Do you remember me?]

The man took a deep breath as if he was preparing to speak in front of a group.

"Yes, you dropped me here with nothing but a special physique and a cultivation technique."

"Do you know how I've lived these years? Do you know the hardships I've had to endure?"

[ "..." ] 

[Sorry host. During the transmigration an accident occurred which caused me to expend more energy than previously planned… I'm sorry.]

"It's fine."

Just as the man was about to close his eyes a roar spread out.

[Host!!! You're at the Immortal Emperor level???]

"Quiet… Yes I am. And I've fought tooth and nail for this."

[But… but host. I've only been asleep for 2000 years… that's fast.]

[Host… why are you so grumpy?]

"'Cause I'm bored."

[You're bored??? Do you know how many people wish to have what you have?]

"Yes, many, many people. But it doesn't change the fact that I've tried it all. All that comes with this power. I've tried it, I'm tired of it and bored."

[ "..." ]

[That's such a first world problem… ]

"Maybe…"

[But host. Good news, I might have the fix.]

The man raised his eyelids with interest.

[What do you say about hopping worlds?]

The man lowered his eyelids in disappointment.

[Don't worry host, I know you're worried, this system won't go into deep sleep again, now you're way stronger and can handle the trip better, even if we encounter the same problem as last time its no worries]

The man opened his eyes again, glancing at the roof and the beautiful ornaments.

"Will I lose my powers and change bodies?"

[Of course not host. You're not dying.]

The man straightened his posture and reached for the armrests and gathered power, then stood up. 

As he stood up he stretched letting out a satisfied groan.

"Then let's go."

[Alright host!!! Just so you know the place we will go to is random, and after hopping world you have to stay there for at least 6 months before I've charged up for another world hop.]

"Ohh, are there any worlds with someone stronger than me?"

[There are indeed host. But those are rare and even if you went there you would still be a force to be reckoned with.] 

The man let out a sound, it was uncertain if he was satisfied or dissatisfied with the answer.

[Alright host, are you ready?.]

"Yes."

Just as his voice faded in the beautifully and luxuriously decorated hall a terrifying space power erupted around him, the air around him twisted and cracked. Then came a sound like mirrors breaking.

A hole opened up where he had previously stood, but his figure was long gone. 

A few seconds passed before the space healed and there was no trace left.

On the other side the mc was traveling in a space corridor.

"System, this doesn't look like when I teleport."

[Of course not host, although you are strong, breaking free of a world is no easy task, this is quite high level space mojo.]

"Ohh, looks like starwars hyper travel."

[ "..." ]

[Host… did you miss the part where I said this was high level space mojo?]

"No."

Jokes aside, these are quite terrifying space powers. The man narrowed his eyes. A trace of apprehension flashed deep down. I feel, without the system to protect me… I might only survive a few seconds in this space turbulence.

Just then…

[Host, we are closing in on a world. Are you ready for landing? I don't know where we will land or what is going on in the place we land, so be ready.]

The man's eyes narrowed and a serious look appeared on his handsome face, quite incongruous with his previous carefree appearance.

His whole aura changed, now truly fitting a man who rose from the bottom, fighting his way up through adversities and life threatening situations. 

Then his entire field of vision cracked like a mirror. His body was flung through the void and into a calm world.

He steadied himself and landed elegantly on the ground. The slightly wet grass soaking his boots. 

He looked around just as he was about to take a step. The space around him started to crack, and the ground shook. The previously clear sky started to fill with dark clouds.

[Host!!!, quickly suppress your power, the world is about to collapse!]

Tsk…

He closed his eyes and the intangible aura around him disappeared at a visible speed. The space calmed down and returned to normal, and the ground stopped shaking.

Even the churning clouds in the air started to slowly disperse.

[Whoo~ Host, that was a close call. It would be all over if the world collapsed, there are still 6 months till we can jump again.]

 The man rolled his eyes.

"Where are we? What world? What is the power system like? It can't be a strong world if it can't even handle my aura."

[I don't know, host. You just need to explore and you'll find out.]

The man nodded and took a step forward and appeared 50 meters in front. He looked to be walking at a leisurely pace but in reality he was moving incredibly fast.

It wasn't long before a town or maybe city entered his view.

He stood on the edge of the treeline and spread his divine sense. Every rustling of leaves, sway of the blades of grass entered his head.

He focused on the town, he wanted to see the nature of this world, is it just a normal mortal world?

He spread his divine sense, around 1.5km into the city and at first found nothing, just ordinary mortals, it seems this is a modern world, but not as modern as his first life.

If he had to guess, it should be around the year 2005 or so.

Just as he was about to give up, a cold and undead aura entered the range of his divine sense. 

"Hmm, what is this?"

[Host, did you find anything?]

"Yes, maybe."

He flashed and disappeared from his spot. Appearing a few seconds later just a few hundred meters from an alley where he sensed the cold undead aura.

Just as he rounded the corner he saw a man standing hugging a woman up against a wall.

It was the man who had the cold and undead aura. He took a few more steps forward and saw the scene more clearly. 

The man wasn't hugging the woman at all, he was holding her wrists and biting at her neck.

He sensed the man's aura then compared it to his own. 

He seems slightly weaker than my current suppressed aura, and I'm now suppressed to Early Foundation Establishment… 

Just as he was lost in thought the strange man seemed to notice him.

"Hmm, another prey, and such a handsome one, you gotta taste delicious."

Just then the man let go of the woman's wrists and she fell to the ground. Then he punched on the mc.

The blood on his lips ran down his chin as he pounced through the air. Our mc narrowed his eyes. 

Just as the strange man reached for the mc's neck he was flung through the air and landed with a heavy thud on the ground. 

"Wha… what?"

Just then our mc flashed forward and grabbed the strange man's neck and pushed him against the wall.

"What are you?"

"You don't kn.. know?"

 "Answer me."

Our mc glared at him.

"I.. I'm a vampire."

Vampire? Is this some world with vampires?

"What are your abilities?"

The man struggled but it was useless.

"I'm faster, stronger, photographic memory, immortality, increased durability, immortal unless burned, ah.. ahem, and I sparkle in the sun."

Hmm, sparkle in the sun??? Twilight? Am I in Twilight? No I can't jump to conclusions, what if this is a normal template in the multiverse.

"What are the strongest forces in this realm?"

"Realm??

"Answer!"

"Ye… yes, they should be The Volturi, The Cullens, The Romanians, The egyptians… and maybe the Amazon coven…"

"In that order?"

"Yes, to my knowledge at least… it should be close to the truth."

The mc looked lost in though.

This really was the Twilight verse. And that sounds…

[Host! It seems like you are in a Twilight universe.]

"I've figured that out."

It sounds fun. Drama, romance, some action… hehehe, in my first life I liked the Twilight movies, they made me happy… 

Maybe in this life… I can rekindle that feeling… and maybe experience something I haven't in two worlds… love.

Just then a voice broke him out of his thoughts.

"Will… will you let me go?"

Hmm.

Should I? He could be useful… I got the perfect idea.

"Don't worry." As he said this he raised his hand and placed it on the man's head. 

He infused his spiritual power and planted a seal in his soul, a kind of slave… or obedience seal.

It can only be done by beings who have a stronger soul than you… and although my powers are suppressed… my soul is still my soul, and this vampire's soul compared to mine… is like dust compared to the sun…

I removed my hand from his head and let go of his neck. 

He fell to the ground, his dazed gaze soon recovered and he knelt down.

"My lord."

"Rise." The man rose from his kneeling position.

I looked at him and saw the admiration flash in his eyes. He would most likely commit suicide of I asked him to. Perfect, one errand boy acquired.

Life is so much easier with a force to do things for you.

But… where am I gonna stay for the night? I don't have any money… 

I looked at my newly acquired servant and moved my gaze over his clothes and oily hair… he was probably homeless, can't count on him.

Sigh, it's true what they say, even the strongest hero can be brought down by a penny.
