Chapter 1 - 1 (1/2)
In the public hospital of Magic City, busy at the operating room, the was Guo Ryo: the hospital's chief physician. He finished med school with a strong medical foundation and he's been working here for the past 5 years, so you could say he was doing a good job fitting in.
Back when he was 6 years old, his parents got divorced to form their own families. So he had to live with his grandpa, who sadly died to heart disease. That event was what made him want to become a doctor: He wanted to never feel that helpless again. And to achieve that goal of his, he worked really hard, and the only p_l_e_a_s_u_r_e he let himself have was watching anime in his spare time. Guo Ryo's favorite anime was « Naruto ».
It was hard for him to find a moment of rest. As he just finished an operation, he was ready to watch Naruto. But then the director's phone rang: a group of sons of some of the country's wealthiest have been racing, and their cars collided. Ryo was needed immediately in the operating room.
Between the broken hearts of their lovers, and his duty as a doctor, Ryo couldn't just let them die: He rushed into the operating room and worked for 7 hours more until 5 am the next day.
« God I'm tired, do I really want to do it? » he complained quietly, as he returned to his office. As he lied down on the table to sleep, he felt everything around him changing and he found himself in front of a massive orb of light, and from within it, a writing appearance
Guo Ryo looked around; you could take him for a drunk as he was so tired: « What is this? A dream… right? » He pinched his t_h_i_g_h, and the pain told him loud and clear that it was all true.
”What is it that you are? A machine? And what do I draw and why should I cross!? ” Ryo asked while staring at the orb.
”I am an « InterWorld Portal ». I represent the portal the existing parallel worlds that are over 119.000 in number. You don't need to say anything; your brain waves resonate with me and tell me that you are NOT satisfied with your life. With the passing conditions, you are likely to be drawn into the universe you want to access, if you make your lucky draw. Please do so!”
Even though he was still shocked, Ruo couldn't help but to think about the reward of making such a move. After all, he is all alone, his parents have been nowhere near him already, and he doesn't have a lover… With all of this in mind, going to Naruto's world seemed like a good idea! He just said the words: « how do I draw? »
Golden rays came out of the orb as it turned into a fortune wheel, that was divided into 3 areas : science and technology, elemental class, life skills class. «Turn the wheel, please! ». He did, and it stopped in the elemental class area.
The wheel shined golden again as it got divided, the time into dozens of zones. Ryo took a closer look: the element class had so many possible natural elements within it. He turned the wheel again and it kept on spinning for a whooping two minutes. As it stopped, he heard the orb say : « This applicant gets ice elemental affinity ».
The orb's voice faded, as Ryo lost sight of everything before losing consciousness.
After an undetermined amount of time, Guo Ryo slowly regained his consciousness. He slowly opened his eyes, to find himself still in the dark, but not too far from a light source, into which his instinct drew him. It was a long struggle, but eventually, he was born.
