Carto's mind was in chaos, to say the least—he had just been transmigrated to another world for the second time. "What the hell is going on!?" he blurted out as Tharmas's voice echoed in his mind. "You must be terribly confused, and that's completely understandable! Please, do not be alarmed. As my previous model mentioned, we here at Tarthocas Enterprise are dedicated to alleviating your lack of goals and perpetual boredom. Hence, we present to you The Myriad World Scribe Initiative! With the MWSI, you'll never be bored again! Your task is to travel to various worlds, each with their own unique set of laws, and create your own progression method. And to make things even more exciting, you're also tasked with using that very progression path to grow stronger until you reach the limits of each world!" Hearing this, Carto felt a sickening churn in his stomach. "What about all that talk of Urizen back in the first world when he forced me into a mental breakdown?" Carto roared, anger boiling over. "That was merely to encourage you to continue on your journey! You were always a depressed individual, but look at what you've become with our help!" Tharmas replied smoothly. "You made me commit omnicide!" Carto shouted in outrage. "And then you brought everyone back! It doesn't matter how many people you killed if you brought them back." Tharmas retorted calmly. Carto, caught off guard, struggled to find a response. "We understand the distress and mental trauma you've experienced, but you've also transformed! You're no longer a meek individual but someone capable of enduring what most would flee from! And now, with the MWSI, you'll have a purpose once again!" Tharmas explained. Carto remained silent, his reasoning begrudgingly aligning with what was being said. Sensing this, Tharmas continued. "Of course, some questions may arise, and I'll address the most common one we've anticipated: 'Won't I get bored by the repetitiveness?' This is a valid concern, but we have a straightforward answer! Although the laws of each world may appear similar, they are, in fact, unique, with distinct rules that challenge the creation of a progression method. You'll need to actively think of different approaches! And to maintain a stable sense of purpose, we've activated the Mystery Software to keep your mind engaged. There are numerous enigmas surrounding you and Tarthocas Enterprise, and it's your optional mission to solve them! After you 'complete' a world, you'll receive a glimpse of the truth, and it's up to you to piece it together!" A contract appeared before Carto, and Tharmas's voice echoed once more: "Please acknowledge the following contract: By acknowledging this contract, you agree that: You will suffer mental breakdowns. You will become further depressed. You will become someone else. You may become a rabbit. You will become a monster Do you accept?" An overwhelming number of terms and conditions flooded Carto's mind, causing a sharp headache as they streamed into his brain. "Damn, this is annoying. Well, I'm already in the game; what am I going to do now? Decline? Yeah, no." With that, Carto accepted the contract. [Thank you for accepting the contract! Now you will be given an infopack to ease you into this world! Enjoy!] As soon as those words echoed in his mind, a torrent of information surged into Carto's consciousness, causing him to clutch his head in agony. The pain was intense, but it gradually lessened. Slowly, he lowered his hand and began to process the new knowledge. Water Saint Wilford Aguarias Darrow—that was the name of this body and the identity he had been assigned. "This world is quite different," Carto muttered as he sifted through the details. If the First World similar to the Eastern fantasy novels he'd read, this one was more Western , with magic and wizards and the like. The world, as he now understood it, was divided into two halves—a consequence of an ancient war that had taken place long ago. The larger part was gove
