[Admin – Nova 'The Strongest Human' has joined the chat group.]
The four people in the room who were talking among themselves immediately stopped and looked toward the newcomer—the admin of the group.
At the same time, information about the admin and his role in the chat group appeared in their minds.
[Serafall]: Admin-chan is here!! You're the strongest human according to the chat group? Color me surprised!
She said, although she was confused. In her world, humans were the weakest race, and even those who reached Ultimate Class had done so with the help of rare Longinus Sacred Gears and incredible talent.
[Artoria]: So you're the one who brought us here... I demand answers. Can this chat group save my country?
She spoke firmly. Her life's goal was to stop the destruction of Britain.
[Itachi]: Can you help me resolve the conflict between my village and my clan?
Itachi stood up and spoke into the system. The situation in Konoha was deteriorating. Although Shisui told him he had a plan to stop the conflict, Itachi still felt a deep unease—as if something terrible was about to happen.
When he joined this group, his Sharingan had shown him something he shouldn't have seen. His title was "Clan Killer." He didn't know what a "title" meant here, but it reminded him of nicknames given to powerful ninja, and the word 'clan killer' weighed heavily on his heart.
[Bai Yunfeng]: Admin? Is this the immortal who summoned everyone? …My respects, senior!
Bai Yunfeng immediately knelt, head pressed against the ground.
Luckily, Nova couldn't see him through the screen—otherwise, he would have kicked him out of the group right then and there.
Meanwhile, on Nova's side…
Nova blinked as text flashed rapidly across the screen.
Each person had a profile picture next to their name, helping him recognize them. He easily identified three out of four, but the last one? He had never seen him before.
First, his gaze landed on the woman clad in knight's armor, her sharp, noble eyes shining with a powerful aura.
Just looking at her image, Nova could feel the heroic energy radiating from her.
"Artoria Pendragon. King of Knights. Heroic Spirit from the Fate/FGO world… Looks like it's her younger self too, which means she'll be easier to talk to—not like her cold, Goddess form," Nova thought, breathing a sigh of relief.
Then came the energetic girl in a frilly pink costume—a magical girl outfit, without a doubt.
"Serafall Leviathan. Satan-class Devil. And also… a massive magical girl nerd," Nova thought with a twitching eyebrow.
"She's incredibly powerful in her world but acts too childish.
Many fans believe that after suffering heavy trauma during the civil war, she started acting like a magical girl to hide her pain and I'm one of those fans, who believed it."
Nova's gaze then shifted to the third.
"Itachi Uchiha. A genius born once in a century. A murderer.
A ninja who carried the burden of killing his own clan and family to save the ninja world while hated by the person he loved the most.
His story... it's far too complicated.
I honestly don't even know how to treat him when we meet."
Finally, Nova's eyes landed on the fourth figure.
A pale-faced young man dressed in flowing white robes—he looked straight out of a Chinese cultivation novel.
"…I don't recognize him," Nova muttered.
After all, there were thousands of Chinese cultivation novels, and even if he read for a lifetime, he wouldn't finish even 0.01% of them.
Chinese authors created novels like they were breathing—and in many cases, plots, character names, even entire arcs were... repetitive.
"System. Who's that guy?" Nova finally asked.
[That is Bai Yunfeng. A character from the cultivation novel Heavenly Cultivator.]
Nova frowned. "Never heard of it."
Though he could vaguely recall countless novels with names like Heavenly Cultivator, none of them had a Bai Yunfeng… or maybe he just forgot.
[Understandable. There are countless novels in your world; it is impossible to know them all.]
Nova sighed. "So how am I supposed to help him?"
[You may observe glimpses of his story through the System. However, Host, don't rely too much on your prior knowledge—even for the others you recognize. The moment this chat group was created, their plot have shifted.
Each world connected to this group is already broken. Plots have deviated from the main story long ago.]
"…Figures." Nova leaned back, rubbing his temples.
"Your creator probably pulled some strings to select three worlds I know... from infinite possibilities."
[Correct. When the System upgrades and more members join, expect to meet many characters from unfamiliar worlds.]
[Would you like to begin introductions now, host?]
Nova exhaled slowly.
"Yeah. Let's meet the crew."
The chat window shifted, and a keyboard popped up in front of Nova, but he ignored it.
Instead, he used the system's mic feature to communicate directly which only he can do.
[Nova]: "Hello everyone. I am Nova, the admin of this chat group.
Although the System has already explained how this group works, I'll brief you again.
If you have any doubts, please don't hesitate to ask."
"Our purpose is simple: to save worlds being invaded by people from other dimensions, people that are causing serious damage to the world."
"In return, you will be rewarded by the chat group.
You can grow stronger, and even buy items from other worlds."
"The System will award you currency called Shop Points (SP), and you can use it to buy anything you need.
Completing tasks will also help you solve the problems that brought you here."
"For example, Artoria—you can earn SP by completing missions, then buy an artifact that will create a dimension where Britain can live eternally in peace."
"And Itachi—you can become strong enough to suppress both the village and the Uchiha clan... or, if you prefer, buy a brainwashing artifact that makes Both clan and village love each other."
As Nova spoke, both Artoria and Itachi felt goosebumps rise along their bodies.
For the first time in what felt like forever... they saw hope.
They quickly rushed to the system's shop, searching desperately for the items Nova had described.
And when their eyes fell on the results—they lit up.
[Artoria]: It's true! I found it!
[Itachi]: Me too!
Seeing their reactions, Bai Yunfeng couldn't hold back.
[Bai Yunfeng]: Senior, can I regain my strength? Can I kill the bastard who destroyed my cultivation and stole my position as Holy Son?
Nova chuckled. "Ah, so it's that kind of story."
He summoned Bai Yunfeng's profile window.
