Chapter 1 A tragedy caused by a complaint

Next Chapter

Late at night, in the kitchen of a restaurant called Catherine's Kiss in Brooklyn, New York, a young Chinese man who looks to be in his early twenties is wearing a white apron and scrubbing a mountain of plates.

His expression was serious and focused, as if washing dishes was a noble and great job, and even though the fair-skinned, sexy-clad white female boss stood not far away and watched him, he did not respond in any way, but worked more with trepidation.

I have to say that this picture is really a bit weird, so weird that the other male employees in the kitchen have shown envious, jealous and hateful expressions.

Especially the black man, who was also washing the dishes, immediately whispered, "Hey, man, you're in for a good time." You know, I've been working in this restaurant for more than half a year, but I've never seen our charming boss pay so much attention to any man. Maybe you can take the initiative and ask her out for a meal after work or something. ”

"Shut up! work!" the young Chinese replied coldly, continuing to scrub the next plate with his head down.

However, as long as he paid close attention, he would find that a trace of deep fear flashed in his eyes, as if the beautiful and cold woman opposite him was some terrible flood beast.

"Alright, well, keep your seriousness and coldness, maybe Catherine just took a fancy to that. The black man muttered quietly, shrugging his shoulders indifferently.

After almost a month of getting along, he has long been accustomed to the other party's attitude of ignoring everyone.

And just like that, after a few more minutes, the pretty landlady finally turned away from the kitchen and disappeared at the end of the stairs around the corner.

Seeing this scene, the young Chinese instantly breathed a sigh of relief, and the tense expression on his face also relaxed.

Maybe the other employees in the kitchen don't know who this Catherine is, but they have seen his boss use his powerful mind to throw a werewolf covered in thick hair into the air and fall to his death, and he will definitely not think anything about him.

In fact, he is not from this world, but from another ordinary person who is more than 90% similar, also known as the earth.

The reason why he was thrown over was only because he was drunk in a bar and complained a few words to a stranger he didn't know, complaining that the real world was too monotonous, the work was too boring, and the relationship between people was too cold, if only he could live in a world full of fantasy.

As for the stranger's appearance, he doesn't remember it at all due to his drunkenness.

But who would have thought that a normal complaint would lead to a terrible tragedy.

When he awoke, he was surprised to find himself lying naked in a dirty alley, with a palm-sized parchment scroll beside him, which read: "My dear friend, this is the fantasy world you want, please start enjoying it." ”

At first, he only thought it was a bad joke and prank by his friend, so he picked up the scroll and walked out of the alley, intending to see who was fixing himself.

But in response to that sentence, I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm startled when I see it.

Whether it is a passer-by or a business shop, it is basically white, black and Latino, and the number of Asians is pitiful, if it is a whole person, this is too big.

Immediately after, he obtained a set of old clothes from a kind old man and guided him towards the city center, and a few hours later, he saw the famous Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building, the Golden Gate Bridge and other landmarks.

At this moment, no matter how stupid he is, he knows that this is the largest and most prosperous city in the whole of America - New York!

Even the time has been rewind to 2003!

Astound!

Confused!

Unbelievable!

With indescribable mixed feelings, he began to try to contact his family and friends on the other side of the ocean, trying to find out what was happening.

But unfortunately, there seems to be no trace of his existence in this world.

After countless repeated confirmations, he finally realized that the words written on that parchment scroll were not a joke, but true!

The only thing that is not clear is what is meant by fantasy here.

Until more than twenty days ago......

He was confronted by his current boss, Catherine Agnes......

A witch with terrifying supernatural powers......

"Zhang Cheng, give, this is your salary for this week. Be careful when you go back for a while, the streets have been a bit uneven lately. ”

An elderly man of Mexican descent who appeared to be in his fifties suddenly walked in and threw an envelope containing banknotes on the table.

His name is Kars, and he is ostensibly the manager of the restaurant, but behind the scenes he is Catherine Agnes's servant, assistant, butler, and also has some incredible powers.

"Thank you very much, sir!" the Chinese young man hurriedly turned around and thanked him, without even looking at how much money was inside, and stuffed it directly into his pocket.

As a person with no birth certificate, no driver's license, no green card and no work visa, he did not enjoy any insurance and social benefits at all, so he could only work secretly in the dark, living cautiously on the meager cash income every week, and occasionally dodging the police and immigration raids, as well as the harassment of thugs.

However, today is the thirtieth day of his coming to this world, a very special day, as long as it is past twelve o'clock in the night, then the first task given on the mysterious parchment scroll, successfully surviving for thirty days, will be successfully completed.

At that time, he will randomly select a profession as a template from the many fantasy games he has played, as well as the novels and movies he has seen, and enter the world where the profession is located to obtain his own power.

You must know that since he was chased by a werewolf with fangs for three streets and almost died when the other party grabbed and tore it to pieces, he realized that although this earth looks ordinary on the outside, among many ordinary people, there are many hidden supernatural creatures and special abilities including vampires, werewolves, shapeshifters, ghouls, ghosts, devils, angels, wizards, witch hunters, witch doctors, shamans, etc., and many myths and folklore exist.

If he doesn't want to die one day, he must have the ability to at least protect himself.

As for who threw himself into this world and what purpose it was, he didn't plan to think about it for the time being.

After all, since the other party can throw a person from one plane to another, or a parallel universe, the power must be beyond imagination, and it may even be a prank by a god in the multiverse.

What's more, even if he finds the mastermind behind the scenes, he can't force the other party to send him back, so honestly improve his strength and gain a firm foothold in this world first.

Filled with a desperate desire for mystical powers, Zhang Cheng quickly washed the mountains of dishes in the sink, took off his work clothes and changed into cheap casual clothes from second-hand stores, and strode towards his residence.

You must know that Brooklyn, New York is not a safe place, especially for the cheap rent, he chose a relatively chaotic neighborhood, almost every night you can hear gunshots and piercing screams, coupled with the existence of some mysterious forces, it is simply common to kill a few people.

Probably because of this, the scroll gives the task of successfully surviving for thirty days......
