[Chapter 1]: Door of Light
Klein walked forward and looked at the giant door. When he saw the strange door of light above the grayish-white cloud, Klein beckoned for the magic mirror, Arrodes.
At that moment, the transparent or opaque worms and insects that clustered together to form spherical lights in the strange door of light turned bluish-black. It was like a thick layer of fog that made one unable to see what was behind the door.
Though due to him being a regressor, he knew what's to come. Although he had already fused with Celestial Worthy due to him not being influenced by the corruption from Celestial Worthy he still had to accommodate the lingering influence of Celestial Worthy of this timeline to become the true ruler of the Sefirah Castle.
He took a step forward with the magic mirror in hand and walked towards the bluish-black fog in the middle of the strange door of light, passing through it. His figure disappeared behind the door that had the unknown hidden behind.

Due to the train's rattling Klein woke up, he was leaning on a girl with smooth blond hair when he had woken up. He was still groggily but he was able to come to his senses. The girl he was leaning on was Audrey, or Miss Justice, she was second to wake up from her sleep.
After he regained consciousness Klein scanned the area; it didn't take a divination to recognize his surroundings. ‘Wait? “Earth?” how?’ He was shocked it was earth and from the dialect that the people were speaking and the letters on the advertisements on the train, he deduced that they were in Korea.
Audrey couldn't help but be in awe on the different technological gap between their world and this world.
‘Are we in Korea? How did I go back? Even with the abilities of the full Lord of the Mysteries at most I could go back to the Early Era of Fire… but why is Ms. Justice also here? And…’
Klein noticed Leonard on his left side, Leonard was panicking. He was glad that Ms. Justice was also here to calm things down.
Audrey looked at Klein as Klein signalled to placate Leonard, after she had done that Audrey also scanned her surroundings. ‘I can assume we're on a train. The language seems unfamiliar, the train looks different to the trains that I have been in, what are those tiny metal boxes in everyone's hands?' After her initial observations on her surroundings, she started focusing on the people.
‘They seem to have dark hair. I don’t recognize these facial structures either. Hmm. Some people are giving us weird looks. Some seem disgusted, but others are also curious. Especially the older people, they don’t seem to like us.’
Leonard seems to be confused. He was glad that he had Klein and Audrey with him here, but this place was way to foreign. As he looked around he couldn't help but to look out of the window. pupils shrank as he started tapping Klein aggressively on the shoulder. "K- Klein, whe-where are we?!"
He almost flinched for a moment then he looked at his hand and noticed a specific thin-skinned glove on it. ' creeping hunger? Huh? I thought I lost you in the Forsaken Land of the Gods. ' he frowned and patted himself down, he felt a bulge at his hip. ' death knell as well? It seems the items I had lost came back? ' He quickly checked up on his supplies. From matches to tarot cards, he had everything he'd need for a fight. " Mr. World, do you happen to know what's going on?"
Klein shook his head and said. “After me and Mr. Fool had slept. I was suddenly transported here as well. Though I don’t know where we are, but… Mr. Fool seems to be familiar with this world.”
‘I could probably say this much, and I still feel the connection with Sefirah Castle. But.. my abilities had been weakened, no more accurately being suppressed? though I could still exert force and forcibly regain all of my abilities. It seems like it's a bad idea right now.’
"Can't we ask Mr. Fool to help us?" ‘that would have been the case if I hadn't already tried it.’ Klein lampooned and looked at 'I have to try and see if I can go Above the gray fog when I have a chance to be alone. Since I have been forcibly suppressed by something I have to reestablish my connection with Sefirah Castle.'
“I will try contacting Mr. Fool.”
Leonard looked down and mumbled. "old man?" Leonard had an excited expression on his face. Leonard then looked at us and said. “He admitted he doesn’t recognize this place. And it seems like he had sensed that this world doesn’t have much mystical properties.”
“Yeah I can feel it, but I can also feel the sudden surge of fate crashing down like a tsunami.”
As if on queue, the lights shut off completely and the train stopped abruptly. It shook loudly and made a terrible shrieking sound. The shaking causes both Audrey and Leonard to cling to Klein, as they try to not fall. The sound of someone's scream alarmed the Beyonders.
"##,####?"
"#-#### ## ####?"
"#-#### ## ##### ##?"
Audrey heard a trembling voice and looked over. ' Brown hair, she has a beautiful face, she seems like a kind person.' Using the lights from the small metal boxes. She frowned.
'I can’t understand what they are saying but they.… Her observant gaze landed on the man next to her. 'Mid to late 20's, average looking, he seems to have had a rough childhood he looks like he’s introverted. But he seems to be well acquainted with the lady.’
She smiled warmly and continued watching everyone in silence. Klein, having been a renowned keyboard warrior, knew some Korean. Not a lot, but enough to understand a bit. He seemed to be listening to the two people's conversation. "Don't worry. It isn't # ### deal."
"Is #### so?"
"Yes, it is probably a ########### #### a sui##de. The engineer will #### make an announcement." Just as the man finished speaking, the intercom came on, causing everyone to calm down.
"See, it ###'# a big deal. Now an apology will ###, and the ##### #### come back on…”
" –-Everyone, run away… Run…!”
‘It hasn’t even been a minute and shit hit the fan this quickly?! ' Klein lampooned.
