Chapter one

Ye Yun: Whoa! Where the heck am I?

System: Ding! Host Ye Yun detected. Binding in progress…

Ye Yun: A system? Did I just transmigrate?!

System: Binding complete. Would you like to claim your newbie gift pack?

Ye Yun: Hold on. First, tell me which world I’ve ended up in.

System: Ding! Host has arrived in the world of Doula Warrior 6.

Ye Yun: What?! I just stayed up three straight nights binging Season 6, and now I’m actually inside it?!

(Ye Yun thought: Oh no, I’m done for!)

System: Right then. Open the newbie gift pack?

Ye Yun: Whatever, when in Rome… Open it!

System: Ding! You’ve received:

① Half-step Nascent Soul cultivation

② 5th-level Divine Ability: Creation

③ Formation Mastery

④ Fortune Mastery

⑤ Large-scale Teleportation Array Plate

Ye Yun: Nice, not bad at all!

(Ye Yun is thrilled. With half-step Nascent Soul cultivation and these skills, even Doula Warrior 1 and 2 would be a walk in the park!)

(A voice booms from a giant screen in the square)

修爵士 (Dr. S) : Humanity has made a breakthrough in extra-dimensional exploration. I’ve discovered Soul Power, a mysterious force from another world! Inject it into a Battle Wheel, and you can fight alongside kids who resonate with it. I invite all children to Shuojue Island for the Battle Wheel Tournament! The winner gets the Holy Dragon Scale, which grants any wish!

Ye Yun: Wow, we’re already at the main plot already. No need to wait around—let’s go check out Shuojue Island!

(Meanwhile, in the original timeline)

洛小熠 (Luo Xiaoyi): Guys, I’m here!

百诺 (Bainuo): Why are you late again?

洛小熠 (Luo Xiaoyi): (rambles about the Holy Dragon Scale)

东方末 (Dongfang Mo): Wake up, Xiaoyi. Doula World is just a fantasy.

(After leaving the library, Luo Xiaoyi heads to the tournament)

Floating Orb 117: Kids, follow me. Through the glass tunnel to the central tower.

Floating Orb 117: Detected: Luo Xiaoyi, Potential Index: 98.47%. You may now choose your Battle Wheel!

(Luo Xiaoyi spots 欧阳零 (Ouyang Ling))

洛小熠 (Luo Xiaoyi): (nervous) That guy looks so mean… Never mind, ignore him.

(Back to Ye Yun, on the airship)

Ye Yun: This thing is so slow! I’d fly there myself if it weren’t too obvious.

(Ye Yun’s potential test)

Floating Orb 117: Detected: Ye Yun, Potential Index: OFF THE CHARTS!

Floating Orb 117: You may choose your Battle Wheel now.

(After Ye Yun leaves)

Floating Orb 117: (panicked) That potential index almost broke my analyzer! I have to tell Dr. S!
