LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 5: Chapter 5
[ Bloodthirsty Bookworm with Wings: Oh, the mysterious fifth member has joined I am Jibril; nice to meet you. What kind of world do you come from? ]
[ 'Kozuki Oden': Welcome! ]
[ Paper Angel: Are you really from different worlds? How do I know you are not lying? ]
[ Queen of Dragons: Not even introducing yourself, how impolite. But yes, we live in different worlds. The one who could prove it best since he seems to know us all and even our futures is the admin. But he is currently occupied.
[ Boy-who-lived (Admin): I have a bit of time. I made it out of the critical situation already. Teleportation worked, even though this place is warded against such travel. ]
[ 'Kozuki Oden': Nice to hear, Harry! ]
[ Boy-who-lived (Admin): Thanks, Yamato. Well, proving that we are indeed in different worlds is a bit harder. I don't have anything at hand right now that could without a doubt prove that it's an item or magic from another world. My best shot is with knowledge. First I would need to confirm your identity, Paper Angel. While there are multiple people with paper-based powers, which doesn't necessarily mean it's a paper-based power. The word angel limits the possible candidates s tremendously. And your first reaction is to fish for information and not give anything away. You also didn't click on accept instantly. Which proves a suspicious character. My guess right now is that you are a blue-haired kunoichi originating from the Land of Rain. ]
[ Paper Angel: …Yes. ]
[ Boy-who-lived (Admin): Okay, I didn't expect to actually get an answer. But that makes it easier. Well, I have no idea where in the timeline you already are, but since you are already a Kunoichi who can manipulate paper, you should have a friend with purple-ringed eyes.]
[ Paper Angel: What about him? ]
[ Boy-who-lived (Admin): Nothing. I am just using him to prove that we are from different worlds. After all, if that were the truth, we could rely on each other since we have no contradicting interests. Rather even similar interest, since you have already read the previous chats. ]
[ Paper Angel: I see. ]
[ Boy-who-lived (Admin): Anyway, I will continue to proof my knowledge without influencing you too much. I have no idea how my intervention would affect your Worlds. Nagato is from the Uzumaki Clan. While he is a descendant of the Sage of the Six Paths, the younger son shouldn't have the Rinnegan. The younger son inherited the Sage's strong body. The older son inherited his ocular powers. ]
[ Paper Angel: What is that supposed to mean? ]
[ Boy-who-lived (Admin): Someone implanted Nagato with the Rinnegan. His heritage is the first proof; the second one is, if it were his power, why does it cost him his lifespan? ]
[ Queen of Dragons: As fascinating as this conversation is. The admin has dropped quite a scary comment. Some of our futures are intertwined with the future of our worlds. Like world-ending events? ]
[ Boy-who-lived (Admin): Sigh Perceptive of you, Irene. But considering that you are targeting the Black Dragon of the Apocalypse, it should be obvious. Please refrain from asking more; I really have no idea what the best course of action is. And a butterfly effect is already there with this chat group; I want to keep it minimal to keep the advantage of my knowledge. ]
[ Queen of Dragons: I don't like it. But it seems to be a sensible choice. Still don't get disappointed if it doesn't work out. These things often don't. Anyway, I am interested in who our newest member actually is. It's time for an introduction. In the end it doesn't make a difference since our admin already knows you. ]
[ 'Kozuki Oden': Yeah, are you in Wano? We have Kunoichis too. Although I never heard of the Land of Rain? ]
[ Paper Angel: It seems I have no choice. Especially if I want to get the Admin's knowledge, who seems to know a lot. I am Konan, a Kunoichi from the Land of Rain. Currently I am a member of Akatsuki and one of the leaders of the Land of Rain. ]
[ 'Kozuki Oden': Nice to meet you, Konan. I am Yamato! ]
[ Bloodthirsty Bookworm with Wings: Another World! Joining this group was a great choice! I am Jibril. So does magic exist in your world, Konan? ]
[ Paper Angel: As far as I know, it does not. We use Chakra to power our Jutsus. ]
[ Queen of Dragons: Ninjas are always so suspicious. But good to meet you. What is the difference between magic and chakra? How does the strength between our universes differ? ]
[ Boy-who-lived (Admin): Seems like a question for me. Well, Chakra, like Ethernano or Elementals, is a source of power that allows the user to cause multiple effects similar to magic. There are differences in applications but also similarities. It's hard to explain. You can discuss it later on. As for strength comparison, I would say overall most of our Worlds are similar in strength, besides Jibril's, who is vastly stronger. With magic attacks that can affect whole planets being relatively common. ]
[ 'Kozuki Oden': Jibril's world sounds scary. ]
[ Bloodthirsty Bookworm with Wings: Not really. We can't fight anymore. The Great War was ended by the one true God, Tet, who has changed the fundamental laws of our universe. While we on Paper have that kind of strength, we can't use it for warfare anymore since one of the laws forbids us from killing. Our conflicts are resolved through games. ]
[ Queen of Dragons: What? I seem to have misread. Or are you telling me that if a nation has a conflict, it could be decided through a game of Stone-Paper-Scissors instead of an actual war? ]
[ Bloodthirsty Bookworm with Wings: You got it. ]
[ Queen of Dragons: That's quite interesting and unique. ]
[ Boy-who-lived (Admin): Yep, a fun world. You can become God there if you are the best player. Well, as for the strongest between the other Worlds, it's hard to tell. Konan's World has probably the highest peak power one has ever reached. But until now there have only been a handful of people who have ever reached the level of the Sage of Six Paths. While Kage-level people are even more common in the other world and easier to become. Yamato's World has quite a lot of cheat powers that you get by eating a so-called Devil Fruit. While Irene's own magic is really overpowered, there are quite a few magics of that sort with ridiculous powers. In my own world, gods, angels, devils, and dragons are quite common, and I still have no idea how they compare. I just know they are not as strong as an Old Deus in Jibril's world, which is pretty much the peak in her world. ]
[ 'Kozuki Oden': Big Universe… Now I really want to see it. ]
[ Harry Potter (Admin): Me too, Yamato. But first I will have to survive this damn tournament. By the way, in the upper right corner are different options. Including one to change your username, I am suggesting you use it; it makes things easier. ]
[ Queen of Dragons changed her username to Irene Belserion. ]
[ Bloodthirsty Bookworm with Wings changed her username to Jibril. ]
[ Jibril: What confidence. It sounds like Mr. Admin has found a way to traverse the Multiverse. ]
[ 'Kozuki Oden' changed her username to Yamato. ]
[ Yamato: Really? Can you really travel between worlds? Get me, I can beat up anyone with you in that tournament! ]
[ Harry Potter (Admin): I did. But I can't exactly control which world I want to travel to. It reacts to my needs and desires, and right now I need a world that I can train in with enough time for the tournament. Which one it will be, I have no idea. Only that I can't use the chat group during that time, since time flows differently between our worlds and this one. ]
[ Paper Angel changed her username to Konan.]
[ Konan: Sounds like you will spend a considerable amount of time in a different world. As far as I could gather, you are still relatively young. Won't people notice if you suddenly got older? ]
[ Harry Potter (Admin): My personal time is still connected to this world. I get a lot of time to train, but I age only as much time as here passes. Don't ask me about the exact mechanics behind it; I am also new to all this. ]
[ Irene Belserion: Fascinating; this gives you quite the edge in comparison to other people. But you will need to prepare necessary training resources and other things to survive in that world. ]
[ Harry Potter (Admin): Yeah, I would also like to exchange knowledge, specifically magic books, with you guys. Specifically Jibril, since she is most interested in them and has quite the wide range of magic knowledge gathered over her long life. ]
[ Jibril: That is no problem. We can do it right now. I can give you copies of the basics of all Magic Systems on Disboard that I possess. Although whether you are able to use them without access to the Spirit Circuit or the Racial Traits is another question. ]
[ Irene Belserion: I am also intrigued about your magic. I can also offer some basic books on magic. It would be interesting to see whether you could awaken your magic without access to Ethernano. ]
[ Harry Potter (Admin): Haha, please slow down. While I am open to such an exchange as soon as I can. I am still not sure whether I can even leave my school. After all, I am magically bound to this tournament. And I have no idea whether I am even allowed to leave or if this would break the contract. Right now, all I have is one complete set of my schoolbooks till year 4. And I kind of need them for my own studies. While I know who I can ask about the tournament, the earliest I can expect an answer is tomorrow. And even then, I am Orphan. My funds are heavily limited. ]
[ Jibril: Don't worry; I am patient. What kind of currency are you using? ]
Harry Potter (Admin): Gold, Silver, and Bronze Coins, while the non-magical world uses a form of paper currency with a few low-value metal coins. ]
[ Jibril: Here then, this should work. Consider it a gift; if you need more, just tell me. I don't have much use for that scrap metal. For each book you send me, I will send you one too. ]
[ Jibril has send you a Gift. Do you accept? Yes / No ]
As soon as Harry pressed on yes, a stack of gold bars appeared on the stairs in front of him.
His eyes bulged as he counted 32 heavy gold bars of considerable size. They should be worth several million.
Well, that solved the problem of his funds. Hopefully, the goblins would accept them. Else he had no idea how he should sell them in the non-magical world without gaining considerable attention.
Once he stored them in his inventory, he refocused on the chat group.
[ Harry Potter (Admin): I hope that works. I will need to see if I can sell them first. Are you only interested in magical books or also non-magical ones? ]
[ Jibril: Since it's a different world, I don't have any of them. So I will take all the books you get your hands on. ]
[ Irene Belserion: I take the Magical ones. These potions are also interesting; I would love to exchange for them too. ]
[ Harry Potter (Admin): Sure, but let me first get out of here. The more I chat, the more time I lose. If I am able to leave the castle, I would love to exchange some potions for a few magic items. Like the Gale-Force Reading Glasses I know exist in your world. ]
[ Irene Belserion: That can be arranged. We will determine the details once you are free. ]
[ Yamato: See ya, Harry! ]
[ Harry Potter (Admin): Till tomorrow! I will keep you up to date. ]
[ Konan: …Bye. ]
Harry closed the chat and opened the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets.
"You are alive?" Myrtle asked as she noticed him stepping into her bathroom, "I thought you got buried alive."
Great, the school had noticed something.
"Yeah, I am alive. What happened?" Harry asked carefully, not giving anything away.
"Didn't you notice the earthquake? The whole school shook!" Myrtle said dramatically.
"Uh, no. I didn't feel it down there." Harry lied before he said goodbye to Myrtle.
Now he wished he would have taken his Invisibility Cloak with him. He had no idea how the school reacted to an earthquake.
His preference would be to get back to his common room without disruption.
"POTTER!"
Just great.
