Inside a small metal room surrounded by thousands of security bots, Alex stood silently.
Morgan was standing in front of him, holding the Heartstone.
"Are you ready?" Morgan asked.
Alex nodded without saying anything.
Morgan slowly placed the Heartstone on Alex's chest.
As soon as it touched him, the Heartstone merged with his body.
The entire planet trembled.
Massive light burst out from Alex's body.
Alex felt something tearing inside him, as if someone was breaking and rebuilding him at the same time.
"Aaaahhhh!" he screamed in pain.
His body started floating in the air.
His metal skin cracked, and glowing light emerged from every crack.
Suddenly, his eyes opened wide, filled with strange symbols and colors that didn't exist in this world.
"I can see… other universes," he said in shock.
"Multiverse travel... it's my first ability," Alex said.
Before Morgan could react—
Space around Alex twisted like water.
And the next second, Alex disappeared.
Another world
"What the heck, it feels like I ate shit. What kind of pollution is this? Even my body gear is finding it hard to purify the air."
Although he said that, his most advanced body was already working on adapting to the environment of this world.
Soon, he connected to the world internet and was excited to know where he had come.
"I have come to the world of Overlord… before the game turns into reality."
And how was he so sure about this?Well, because talk of the game Yggdrasil was going all over the internet.
Currently, the game has not been launched, but it has already reached a popularity that's hard to ignore. Not only that, but it's also the first ever VRMMORPG game ever made.
Suddenly, something popped in front of Alex:
{Quest Window: (1)}Create the most advanced and most potential-based character in YggdrasilTime Limit: 24 hoursReward: 10 points
"Hey… what are these points?"
He already had a guess what these points might be used for, thanks to his super powerful brain—but he still asked.
To answer his question, a prompt appeared:
(Points are used by Omniverse Travel ability to travel to another world.)
"Are you the Heartstone?" Alex asked.
But no reply came even after 2–3 minutes.
"Well, focus on the quest."
First, as any other powerful AI would have done, Alex hacked into a Swiss bank in this world and transferred himself billions of dollars that no one could ever trace.
"Money always comes first."
Second, he created a perfect identity for himself in this world.
And all this was done within a few minutes after Alex transferred to this world.
