Chapter 001: The Black Sphere
获得主角能力的我只想过平凡生活 · 第001章 黑球
After leaving the world of Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons, Wang Bo, with the help of his cheat, headed to a new world.
Having experienced the process of traveling several times, Wang Bo had gradually become familiar with it. In the long passage, he had seen a vast amount of information fragments, but an invisible force seemed to block his prying gaze.
So when he emerged from the passage, he remembered nothing.
But as his strength grew day by day, this invisible barrier was broken through by Wang Bo. He easily glimpsed that the countless information fragments were actually one world after another, some familiar, some unfamiliar.
Wang Bo could see many things from the information fragments, such as the past or future of a certain world.
Boom!
Just as Wang Bo thought he would once again smoothly arrive at the new world, the invisible passage suddenly shook, and a formless yet terrifying force swept in like a tsunami.
Under this surging and terrifying force, Wang Bo felt as insignificant as an ant.
The vast solar true qi within him, the abyss-like demonic power, the powerful telekinesis, the indestructible steel body, and the mighty little universe all erupted instantly, forming layer upon layer of barriers before Wang Bo.
"What the hell is going on?"
[Host, we're in trouble. There's a multiverse deity...]
Before the cheat could finish explaining, the barriers before Wang Bo were torn to shreds by the terrifying force, and his body suffered terrible damage in an instant.
"Holy shit..."
The next second, before his thought could finish, he fell unconscious.
...
After an unknown amount of time, Wang Bo opened his eyes. What met his gaze was a closed Japanese-style room, with several people sitting in the corners: an office worker, an old man, a vagrant, a thug, and even a dog.
Where is this? Who are they? Why am I here?
Wang Bo was completely bewildered, and three questions naturally surfaced in his mind. But before he could come to his senses, new questions emerged.
Who am I? What is my name?
Huh? I don't even know my own name? Wang Bo grew even more confused. What was going on? Had he lost his memory? Just then, an urgent voice suddenly sounded eerily in his mind.
[Host, host, are you okay?]
"Who?" Wang Bo was startled.
[Host, it's me.]
"You... who are you?" Wang Bo couldn't help but shiver.
[Host, your brain is broken.]
Ignoring the strange looks from the office worker, old man, and vagrant around him, Wang Bo nodded and said, "I... I seem to have lost my memory. I can't remember anything. I don't even know my own name."
Instantly, the voice in his mind fell silent.
The few people in the room were all uneasy. An office worker mustered up the courage to speak, "You..."
Just then, the voice in Wang Bo's mind sounded again.
[Sorry, host, it's all my fault.]
"What?" Wang Bo, though amnesiac, was not stupid. He quickly caught on, "You mean my memory loss has something to do with you?"
[You could say that. Actually, when I was taking you through the travel, I accidentally got you caught in a violent storm. So you were severely injured, and your brain might have temporarily lost its memory.]
[But don't worry, host. Your strength is decent. As your injuries heal, your memory will definitely recover.]
"Who are you?"
[I am the cheat.]
"And who am I?"
[Your name is Wang Bo, and you are my host.]
"So my name is Wang Bo." Wang Bo suddenly realized, then asked, "Can I ask you a few questions?"
[Of course. I'll tell you everything I know.]
Wang Bo blurted out all the doubts in his mind, such as "Who are you?" "Why is your voice in my head? You're not a ghost, are you?" "Who am I?" "Why am I here?" "What is this place?" and so on.
And that eerie voice indeed answered without reservation, replying to many of Wang Bo's questions.
Wang Bo quickly figured out the whole story.
His name was Wang Bo, and he was a tool person who specialized in helping those transmigrators who had accidentally entered other worlds, sending them home.
But during one travel, he encountered a storm that severely injured him, causing his memory loss. But it was okay.
According to his cheat, his strength was decent, and as his injuries healed, his memory would gradually recover. Then he would know who he was.
[Host, do you have any more questions now?]
Wang Bo shook his head and said, "Not for now."
[Alright, host. You can rest and heal in this world. When you've recovered, we'll set off again.]
"Thank you."
[You're welcome.]
Wang Bo let out a breath. Knowing that he could recover, he felt at ease.
At the same time, he had spare attention to observe his surroundings. Besides what he had already seen, the room, filled with people, had no furniture.
And in the living room of the room, there was a black sphere.
Seeing this, Wang Bo couldn't help asking, "Cheat, are you there?"
[I'm here.]
"You said this is the world of Gantz. So what kind of world is this? And what is this black sphere?" Wang Bo asked involuntarily.
[It's simple. I'll tell you...]
Wang Bo nodded. With the help of his cheat, he finally gained some understanding of this world.
This world, codenamed Gantz, mainly tells the story of high school student Kei Kurono, who dies unexpectedly and is sent to a mysterious room. In the room, there is a black sphere called "GANTZ." Under the control and arrangement of the black sphere GANTZ, all those sent to the room engage in battles against alien invaders on Earth.
Yes, this world has aliens. The evidence is the black sphere in the room, which is actually made using alien technology.
GANTZ is the name of this black sphere. Its technological level is very high. It issues mission data, can distribute weapons and tight-fitting protective suits, and can teleport team members into the preparatory space and in and out of mission locations.
At the same time, it can display photos of deceased team members. Those who reach 100 points can have three choices: first, gain freedom; second, obtain a powerful weapon; third, revive a deceased person from the memory.
It can even connect and go online with other black spheres for communication and mutual transmission.
