Looking Forward to Another World - Chapter 4 : Dimensional Cube more....

As is commonly known, the phenomenon of crossing over to another world is often associated with the main character having some form of extraordinary advantage. Riegel was no exception. On his first day in this new world, he discovered the transparent Magic Cube — the Dimensional Magic Cube — residing solely in his mind, undetectable and unreachable by anyone but him.

This cube, as its name suggests, is related to dimensions. Its functions include:

1. Automatically absorbing energy from the dimension, enabling monthly random dimensional travels.
2. Converting the power of different dimensions, available for use anytime.
3. Providing a storage space inside the cube, accessible at any time.
4. Consuming ten times the usual energy required to open a channel to a specific world.
5. Using energy proportional to the value of items carried during the dimensional travel.
6. Limiting each travel attempt to the equivalent of one day in the original world.

Riegel had been familiar with these instructions since his first encounter with the cube a month ago. It was this knowledge that kept him calm and composed, despite knowing his (Gate) was irreparably damaged, rendering him unable to use magic, and that someone was plotting against his life.

Now, with his wounds fully healed and having spent a month in bed, Riegel pondered if the cube’s random dimensional travel function was available. “Since both Yuri and the priest have advised me to rest for another day, I might as well make full use of this time,” he thought.

Lying with his eyes closed, Riegel began to operate the Dimensional Magic Cube, instructing it to start the dimensional channel. The cube responded, its transparent form spinning in his mind, assembling a channel that extended into an unseen void.

“Dimensional channel opened, information gathered, sorting data from the user’s memory for compatibility with the connected world,” the cube communicated.

The world connected this time was “Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?” with a time scale of 1:100. The process was a descent of consciousness, where Riegel’s consciousness would be materialized. Death in this state wouldn’t affect him, but it would mark the end of the journey, urging cautious action.

Riegel was taken aback, not by the nature of the dimensional travel or the time scale difference, but by the destination itself. He had not expected the cube to connect him to a world he had seen, read about, and knew — “Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?”

“This world, of all places?” Riegel thought, a mix of surprise and excitement. His plan had always been to use the Dimensional Magic Cube to seek power and solutions in other worlds, utilizing the safety and time differential afforded by the cube. Now, he found himself about to embark on a journey to a familiar, yet entirely different world.
