Chapter 1

【Yesterday, a mysterious rampage occurred in a small town in Ussr, resulting in the deaths of all 3,000 residents overnight. The Ussr President has already issued an extermination order, planning to burn the town to the ground with napalm to prevent the mystery from spreading.】

【The Flame Nation issued a statement, reaffirming its commitment to protecting the lives of its citizens and standing firmly against the mysterious phenomena.】

【Recently, the Holy Britannia has made groundbreaking progress in its research on the mysterious phenomena, and will continue to lead the way, ushering in a new chapter in humanity's fight against the mysterious.】

【After a 28-day Level 6 mysterious disaster finally destroyed the African nation of Wakanda, to prevent the apocalyptic mystery from spreading further, the United Nations has authorized the five permanent members to purify every inch of the country with hydrogen bombs. Currently, personnel from neighboring countries have been urgently evacuated for safety.】

Su Yun read these reports and knew that the world was now, like a runaway racehorse, heading irreversibly towards collapse.

This was because the world had been hit by a disaster known as the "mysterious revival," where various unexplainable phenomena, previously existing only in stories and legends, such as ghost stories, strange occurrences, and evil spirits, had begun to appear.

On the human side, there were no legendary extraordinary powers, and they could only rely on technology to cope.

In fact, technology seemed utterly useless against these mysterious phenomena. The advanced thermal weapons and various chemical weapons that humans were proud of were unable to effectively curb the mysterious phenomena.

One could say that in the face of the incomprehensible mysterious, the pride of modern civilization was trampled like waste paper.

Fortunately, all mysterious phenomena feared the sun and would be purified by its light, which is why humans could still fight against the mysterious.

Unfortunately, the mysterious phenomena's fear of the sun was purely metaphysical, and the simulated sunlight humans created, including ultraviolet and combined light, were ineffective against the mysterious phenomena.

This situation, which could not be understood by science, was just like the mythological stories, leaving humanity in a very helpless position.

Currently, the most effective means for humans to combat the mysterious phenomena is to use hydrogen bombs, as the nuclear fusion effect of hydrogen bombs can simulate the power of the sun to some extent, thus dealing a devastating blow to the mysterious phenomena.

But can hydrogen bombs be used casually?

The mysterious phenomena in uninhabited areas are one thing, but if the mysterious phenomena appear in cities, using hydrogen bombs would be the last resort, a means of mutual destruction.

Only when a city, region, or country is completely destroyed by the mysterious phenomena would such a destructive attack be carried out.

It can be said that humans are at an absolute disadvantage in the face of the mysterious phenomena, and it wouldn't be surprising if the world collapses at any time.

As the mysterious phenomena become more severe over time, although human response experience is increasing and related research is being actively conducted, they are still becoming increasingly weaker. Many small and medium-sized countries can no longer hold on, with chaos rampant and a widespread sense of impending doom.

The collapse of these small and medium-sized countries also marks the beginning of the world's collapse.

Now, all countries are filled with anxiety and frustration, not knowing what to do.

Undoubtedly, in such a world, Su Yun could face a mysterious apocalypse where human life is worth less than a dog's, with crises everywhere, and he could be forced to give up at any time.

However, Su Yun was not at all panicked because he was a man with a system!

Moreover, the system immediately gave him an ultimate mission.

【Please save this world on the brink of collapse!】

At the same time, a large amount of information flooded into Su Yun's mind, making him understand the specific situation of the world and why he was here.

The system was generated by the world itself, and Su Yun's arrival was also caused by the world. In simple terms, the world's will realized it was about to end and, in a panic, sought a savior from another world.

Su Yun was the savior chosen by this world.

It just so happened that he was not transported to a magical world but to a world of anime and manga.

Yes, this was a world of anime and manga, with the paper-thin wives from the two-dimensional world that Su Yun was familiar with, including both everyday and non-everyday series.

However, because this world was a non-magical world, no matter what extraordinary powers these characters had in their anime, they were just ordinary people in this world.

This wasn't a problem in itself; a mundane world wasn't bad, at least it wouldn't have those world-destroying crises.

However, the mysterious revival came.

To be precise, it was a mysterious invasion!

The sudden appearance of the mysterious phenomena was due to this world accidentally coming into contact with an indescribable mysterious space, leading to the current mysterious revival.

However, due to this interdimensional contact, the world of anime and manga began to develop a consciousness. Realizing its dire situation, it instinctively sought help from the outside.

Then, Su Yun, in his sleep, unconsciously received the world's call for help. In his dream, he boldly claimed that saving the world was something he was very familiar with, having read countless web novels and played countless games. As a master, commander, doctor, captain, and traveler, he was a world-saving expert.

Yes, this was purely because he was dreaming, not knowing what he was doing. A small, confused entity was asking for help to save the world, and his habit of playing too many games kicked in, leading him to claim that he was a professional at saving the world.

Then, the newly born world consciousness, overjoyed, signed a contract with Su Yun in his sleep, transferring all its power to him and bringing him to its world.

The world consciousness, having expended too much energy, fell into a deep sleep.

Su Yun, holding the power granted by the world consciousness, stood in the unfamiliar world, utterly bewildered.

After three days, Su Yun finally fully accepted the current situation and began to consider how to save this world of anime and manga, which was in dire straits.

What Su Yun possessed was the power granted by the world consciousness, a highly malleable and infinitely possible imagination.

After thoroughly studying this imagination, Su Yun suddenly realized that its usage was very familiar to him. It was like a game editor, allowing him to freely edit.

After all, before his arrival, Su Yun was a game designer, and he was very proficient in this area.

Thus, after a month, Su Yun shaped the imagination into a system, which he named the Imagination System.

However, this system lacked the intelligence found in web novels, or rather, it was not very smart.

But it was indeed a system, and its functions were combined with Su Yun's plan to save the world, tailored specifically for the plan.

"The mysterious revival has filled humans with a desire and longing for the extraordinary, and this desire and longing have transformed into countless imaginations, ultimately awakening the world's consciousness."

"However, due to the lack of clear methods to absorb these imaginations, most of them have dissipated meaninglessly, even being absorbed by the mysterious, forming many terrifying mysterious phenomena that are unsolvable for ordinary people."

"If I can collect and utilize these imaginations, then there is a chance to save this world on the brink of collapse!"

"Yes, the key to victory is already in my hands! Now, everything is ready!"

"Let the people of this world truly witness the power of the extraordinary, and let those chosen gain the power of the extraordinary, becoming the force to save the world!"

"Right, don't you agree, exchange student Miss Artoria?"

In the classroom of Class 1B at Tenno International High School, Su Yun looked at a beautiful blonde girl with blue eyes and a tuft of hair on her head, and a smile curved at the corner of his lips.
