Dark and cold, those two things were all he felt. Maybe as much as a bird's wings, maybe a century later, he opened his eyes. As the light beams suddenly flooded into his pupils, the Surroundings turned completely white. He abruptly closed it back and rubbed his eyes with his hand.
“Whe…where am I?” he muttered. The voice forced out of his dry throat.

As his eyes adjusted to the light, he finally had the opportunity to examine his surroundings. He tried to get up with his hand from where he was lying - he could only understand that he was lying down  by the involuntary reactions of his body.

He forced himself into a sitting position.

He looked around and saw that he was surrounded by green grass. And trees. It was morning or afternoon, as the sun's rays extended the shadows of the trees.

Then, looking around, he could see people sitting on the lawn like himself, even picnicking. There was a jogging path ahead, people in sports clothes were jogging, and some were cycling.

'the park... This place looks like a park.' he thought. 'But what am I doing in the park, if I remember correctly-' He paused. And he began to think about the last things he remembered.

'I was at home, yes, yes I was at home and working on the Game. A few last changes were needed."

The memories were getting clearer with each passing minute. He was at home and wearing a VR headset for the last few modeling fixes for the game he was working on. As always, he had not taken into account the time spent working. He remembered that his world had darkened as he made the final touches. Then a sharp pain in his head. He had probably hit his head on the edge of the table as he passed out.

'But How I woke up in a park. Did someone carry me here?' He lost himself in thought as he weighed all the possible scenarios in his mind.

Then suddenly he heard a voice.

A suitable host has been found.

The system is installing…

Welcome to the Game Master system!

Edward looked around to see if anyone was talking to him but he saw that there was no one else on this lawn but himself. Besides, the voice didn't seem to be coming from around him, it was like someone was talking inside his brain.

'Who are you? What do you mean, welcome to the system!'

Contrary to Edward's expectation, the voice in his head answered.

'You have been selected as the host by the Game master system. The Game master System is the system responsible for assisting the host in designing his games and extending them to infinite universes. '

Edward listened to the emotionless voice that seemed to come from artificial intelligence.

Even though Edward was a high-ranking executive at the country's most important game production company, he hadn't given up on his love of reading since he was a child. And over time, this hobby has shifted to web novels. Therefore, he was more or less aware of what was happening to him.

'I'm dead, huh,' he said to himself. 

He didn't have many friends as he was a total workaholic. He lost both his mother and father during his university years.

After that loss, he was devoted to his job, making games. He has always loved games since he was a child. When he grew up and learned that he needed to have a job, he decided to at least do a job he loved. making games.

Actually, Edward wasn't too upset about this situation, if someone asked him "how do you want to die?", his answer would probably be 'while designing or working on the game'.

After just sitting on the floor and thinking about what had happened to him, Edward stood up and started walking towards the walkway.

'Hey system, what did you mean when you said 'extending them to infinite universes'?" he asked.

“Making the games designed by the host, accessible to infinite universes is among my duties, but you can only reach 2 different universes and only 2 worlds since you are at the lowest level at the moment.”

Edward kept walking while listening to what the system saying. Even though it sounded crazy to him, he remembered that situations like this weren't so crazy when he read these kinds of system novels.

As he continued walking on the walkway, he realized where he was. He was in Central Park in Manhattan. The skyscrapers ahead gave the news of this.

“So where am I right now… what universe am I in?”

“The host is currently in a world that is not much different from his own world, and he can also switch to the other world at any time if he wants to.”

Look, this was unexpected. To be able to pass between the two universes at any time.

“What kind of place is the other world? Is it dangerous?"

“Unlike the world, the host is currently in, the other world has chosen a different path and has moved forward on this path.”

“What kind of path?” asked Edward, his interest in this world growing.

'

"Thanks to the energy called Qi, they have developed some powers and techniques that can strengthen their bodies. While the vast majority of the population cannot use these techniques, the few people who are fit for these techniques have become incredibly strong." the system explained.'

This answer interrupted Edward's steps. Wuxia! This is definitely the world of Wuxia.

Edward kept walking, suppressing the excitement inside him. He had found himself in a rather tense and yet equally exciting state. If he could unite these 2 worlds in the game world, what would be the result? The possibilities were almost endless.

While he was preoccupied with these thoughts, his feet brought him to a place like a square. Just then, his stomach rumbled.

He wasn't sure if this body was what it was before he died, but he hadn't eaten in a long time.

Seeing a peddler selling food ahead, he proceeded. When he involuntarily reached into his back pocket to reach for his wallet, he saw that it was still there.

With the $50 in his wallet, he took the food and found an empty bench, and sat down. While he was eating, his ties with the surroundings were completely cut off, but crazy questions continued to circulate in his mind.

After a quick meal, he threw the plastic bowl in the trash and sat back down.

“Hey system, how do I switch to the other world?” He asked curiously. After all, it would be foolish not to go to such a world when there is a possibility.

“Host, are you sure you want to go to the other world?”

“Yes… wait, can you change my clothes to what the people are wearing?”

“Of course, host, Your request is being fulfilled...”

Edward blinked and found himself in a completely different place. In a different world.

He found himself in a street. This place was similar to the places mentioned in the Wuxia novels. Houses that looked like ancient Chinese designs were lined up on two sides of the road, and people were walking on the street.

Unwittingly, Edward took a step forward... and bumped into someone.

"Hey, be careful, are you drunk at this hour?" he heard a voice.

After Edward said "I'm sorry", the man walked away shaking his head from side to side.

“System, how do I understand them?”

“The system can translate languages ​​spoken in all worlds where the game can be deployed, so it's perfectly normal for you to understand their language.”

It makes sense, Edward thought. Then he turned his head down to examine the clothes he was wearing. Their clothes were not much different from people walking on the street. He relaxed and started walking in the cobblestoned town of this different world.
