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.
At first, he did not understand what had happened, then slowly the last moments of his life flashed before his eyes. He remembered the game he had worked so hard to complete before Deathline. And like almost any game, this time seemed impossible. For the last 36 hours, he was designing a part of the game with a VR headset. This was perhaps the most important place, the city of Ash-Rotra, the plans were prepared by the best architects in the country, The first players who stepped in here would swallow their tongues from the excitement and the size and epicness of this place.
But while modeling this place, he had forgotten how time flies and was totally devoted to it and didn't hear the feedback his body gave. His body couldn't take it anymore and he shut himself down and passed out.
Normally, if he had worked in the office, his teammates and office workers would have rushed to his aid and taken him to a hospital, but no one could help him as this damned epidemic kept him confined to his home, as he fainted, he hit his head on the corner of the table and lay on the floor in his own blood.
After Edward opened his eyes, he brought his body to a sitting position with his hands, while doing this, he finally had the opportunity to look around, even though his body was struggling with fatigue and pain.
It was surrounded by green grass and trees. The grass looked like it had just been cut.
Then he saw a running track ahead.
‘Park yes this looks like a park… Wait, what am I doing in the park? If what I remember is true, I should have died long ago.' He thought as he turned his head and looked around more carefully.
Then suddenly he heard a voice.
A suitable host has been found.

Welcome to the Game Master system!
Edward looked around to see if anyone was talking to him, but 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.
“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 voice that seemed to come from this artificial intelligence.
Even though Edward was a high-ranking executive at the country's most important game production companies, 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. The games he met for the first time in his childhood had fascinated him so much that over time, just playing these games was not enough for him. And so he decided to pursue a career in this field. It had been quite successful. But that's how it ended.
Actually, Edward wasn't too upset about this situation, if someone told him how do you want to die? If he had asked, the 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 'my mission is to extend it to different universes'?"
“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 the lowest level at the moment.”
Edward kept walking while listening to what the system had to say. Even though it sounded crazy to him, he remembered that situations like this weren't so crazy when he read these kind 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 where I can spread the game 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 universe? 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 internal energy called qi, they have developed some powers and techniques that can strengthen their bodies thousands of times normally, and it is a world generally ruled by sects.” 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 people 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.
After buying the Indian food that the peddler was selling, he sat on a bench to eat.
After he sat on the bank and finished eating, he stood up.
“Hey system, how do I switch to the other world?”
“Do you want a pass?”
“Yes… wait, can you change my clothes to what the people are wearing?”
“Of course, host, your request is being processed.”
Edward blinked. In the blink of an eye, he found himself in a completely different place.
This place was similar to the places mentioned in the Wuxia novels. Houses that looked like Chinese designs were lined up, and people were walking on the street.
Unwittingly, Edward took a step forward and bumped into someone.
"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 their speeches?”
“The system can translate languages spoken in all worlds where the game can 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.
