Chapter 1: The Burning World

Chapter 1: The Burning World

A teenager, a teenager in full-covered plate armor, was standing on a hill full of green. He held his helmet in his arms and looked at the town below with an excited expression.

Familiar technology, familiar objects, and even those he didn't know made him feel very familiar. This is the Earth, probably the place where he is now home. But ah, this is not his home, the boy knew it the first time he entered this world. The world is rejecting him, and he doesn't belong here.

However, it was just a mere rejection of the world, and the teenager didn't care much. It's hard to find a place not far from your home, and it's okay to stay a little longer, right?

The boy rushed towards the town in high spirits.

Just like what you see in the distance, this is a world with a similar level of technology as the boy's hometown, and even the time is about the same. At the beginning of the 21st century. However, the boy always felt that something was wrong, as if some of the people who passed by him were missing something.

However, the boy did not have time to pay attention to these things for the time being, he felt the surprised eyes of the people around him, sighed helplessly, and decided to find a place to get two suitable clothes to wear first.

However, before that, he had to get some currency that could be used in this world, and in this world, gold or something was obviously not the people's living currency. Then, as it should be, the gold coins he carried on him are estimated to be unusable.

The boy casually found a public chair and sat down, thinking about whether there was a way to get the currency without breaking the law. But before he could figure out why.

The world has changed.

The fiery red color abruptly fills the whole world. From the downtown area lined with restaurants and cafes to the sunset that dyes everything red, it shakes violently......... A clear and mysterious crimson flame.

The boy stood up, and looked back, everything seemed to be clouded through a film. A thing made of unknown flames, I don't know if it was a totem or a circle, appeared on the earth.

Although the teenager didn't know what these things were. But that doesn't stop the teenager from feeling the ingredients.

The power of being. It's a person who has traveled a lot of worlds, and this vision is still there. However, the power of existence is not something that any living creature can drive at will, it is one of the basic building blocks of the world.

Moreover, the boy looked back. All the pedestrians stood in place, without any movement. No, maybe it can't be said that there is no movement at all, it's just that it's like the internet suddenly goes off while you're playing a game, and all the characters keep what they did the last moment and stop, but you're still moving.

The young man held his forehead and thought about it, inexplicably feeling that this scene was very familiar. Still, some things needed some confirmation, so he stood there with his hands clasped to his chest, "Faithful steed, leaping in the light." ”

From where the boy's hands were folded, a little light overflowed. The light quickly built a simple gate in the air, and a war horse with a little brilliance in armor leaped out of the door, stopped in front of the young man, bowed his head, and scraped his hooves.

"It feels good to see you again in the visible world, my old fellow. The boy patted the horse's head, then turned over and got on the horse. "Charge, old man, let's go see who's behind all this. ”

A flash of light flashed, faintly like a cross-shaped emblem flashed, and the boy and his war horse began their run in this modern city.

It's a pity that the boy is not a hunter after all, and he really has no talent for finding things. However, it seems that this search will not take long to end. Not far away, a puff of smoke and dust filled the air, and a loud sound came.

The young man drove the war horse to approach quickly in that direction, and when he turned a street corner, the scene in front of him made the young man stunned.

A huge thing that looks like a doll, and something that looks like a ball, is at war with a young girl with fiery red hair. Behind the girl, a bewildered "person" was sitting on the ground. Then, something with the appearance of a human being was quietly approaching the "man" sitting on the ground.

Without having time to think about it, instinctively, the boy rode his war horse and rushed forward, shouting, "For the Holy Light!" while pulling out a two-handed war hammer (Achillus' Hammer of Insect Slayer) from his space bag.

The boy arrived before the thing could be attacked, and the boy took the reins of his horse, and the front hooves of the horse stood high, and the man used the horsepower to strike hard with a hammer, not to mention the holy light shining on the hammer. "Crusader strike!" roared the boy.

"Bang!" there was a loud bang, and the thing screamed and was knocked away like a real human.

The thing's body, where it was wounded, burned with a pale blue flame. "It's not human. The boy was sure of something, "and, his whole body smelled of existence." The young man controlled the war horse under him, and slowly approached the thing, the war hammer in his hand exuding a clear light, "Say, you are the one who caused this situation! What are you?"

The thing just moaned in pain as it backed away. I want to stay away from teenagers.

"It seems that I can't talk back properly. As soon as the boy lifted the reins, the horse began to accelerate, "Then, for glory!" The horse charged fearlessly, and the iron hooves struck the earth.

Then, the horse's tail was caught. The hand that grabbed the horse's tail was very powerful, and the boy felt that his horse was stagnant, and then in order to prevent injuries to unrelated personnel, the boy drove the horse to stop. However, although the boy stopped, the person who grabbed the ponytail did not stop. The fiery red-haired girl had already leapt towards the thing with the force of the pull she had just pulled.

With a knife, it cut off the hand that was blocking the front of the thing. Just as the girl was about to take out the enemy with another sword, the boy who should still be called a human stood in front of the girl.

Then the thing put its hand into the "man's" body, as if searching for something. Then, even the "person" and the thing were cut open by the girl.

The young man was on the horse, looking at everything in front of him with some inexplicability, although he didn't know how to react, but it seemed that he was very busy over there, so it was better not to go up and disturb it for the time being.

Later, due to the "man's" obstruction, a smaller doll-like thing that crawled out of the thing ran away. The girl was entangled with that "person" for something.

The boy dismounted and walked over. The war horse neighed loudly behind the young man, leaped into the air, turned into light in mid-air, and disappeared.

Before he could get there, he saw the girl, grabbed the two halves of the "person", put them together, and then blew a breath. The "man" had a fire burning on his body for a moment, and then it was extinguished in an instant. That "man" was fixed. The girl turned her head, "You guy, do you look down on me, you want to snatch the prey from me!" The girl looked the boy up and down, "Who is your fellow's contractor?"

"Don't be careless, this guy is not a Fire Mist Warrior!" an uncle's voice appeared on the battlefield, "There is no one in the Red World who is a servant of light. ”

The girl pulled out the long knife she had just put away again, and asked in a low voice at the young man, "So, is it a disciple?"

"No, there is no light in the Red World. The uncle's voice came again. This time the boy understood what was speaking, it was the pendant that the girl wore on her chest.

"Not the guy over there?" the girl was stunned for a moment, and then looked up at the young man in front of him as if she was a little impatient, and asked, "Hey, what the hell are you?"

The black line on the young man's end, not to mention being pointed at with a knife. The young man smiled bitterly, first put the weapon in his bag and replied, "I'm just a human. ”

"No way! I've never seen a human as powerful as you. The girl directly dismissed this possibility.

"So," the boy took a deep breath, "introduce yourself." My name is Zhao Mian, and I can be regarded as a qualified paladin, a member of the Knights of the Silver Hand, a nobleman of Stormwind, and now just a traveler. I'm a newcomer to this place, and if there is anything offended just now, then please do a lot of Haihan. ”

"Arastre, have you heard of any paladins, Silver Hands, Stormwind?" the girl whispered about her pendant.

"No, this is the first time I've heard these things in all my years. The voice was silent for a moment before speaking, apparently thinking for a moment's time.

"So you lied to me?" the girl didn't wait for the pendant's response, and rushed straight up.

Young man, it should be called Zhao Mian now. Zhao Mian didn't panic, facing the girl's strong slash on the opposite side, he just took out a shield (Lordaeron's Royal Emblem Shield) from his bag, blocked the girl's attack, and then knocked a chestnut on the girl's forehead, knocking the girl to the ground.

At this time, the voice of the Arastol had just sounded: "Don't be reckless, figure it out and ...... All right. ”

Zhao Mian stretched out his hand to help the girl up, sighed, and said, "Then, let me explain it more clearly." I'm a paladin, there's no doubt about that, I'm a traveler now, and that's not a lie, you haven't heard of it because I'm a traveler who travels between worlds, not here. ”

"So, it's a visitor from another world?" said the pendant uncle, "from this point of view, it is very similar to the Red World's disciples. ”

"It's not the same. Zhao Mian shook his head, "The disciples of the Red World you are talking about, the most they have crossed is the plane. I've broken the barriers of the world, and I'm an outsider who has broken in. However, I can assure you that I am definitely not a dangerous person. I can't stay in this world for long, because the world is always driving me away. ”

The girl stroked her forehead and stood there, "Anyway, you don't want to eat people like those guys just now, do you?"

"Absolutely not. Zhao Mian's head shook like anything, "Cannibalism is something that only ogres can do in Azeroth." ”

"So be it. The girl raised her left hand, "Next." The index finger was raised high to the sky, and a burst of light emanated from there, and some images of "people" slowly emerged around them.
