Chapter 1

The sun rose in the east, and the morning sun cast its first rays of light.

Several police cars were parked under the seventh building of Anhua Community. Blue and white police tape formed a ring around the entire building, and five detectives stood inside the police line, blocking the curious gazes of onlookers.

"Is it just a gas explosion? Do we need such a high level of alert?" Some onlookers were puzzled and questioned.

Suddenly, a black "iron dragon" sped over, and two people, a man and a woman dressed in casual clothes, got out. Under the curious gazes of many, a detective took the man's credentials and respectfully led the two into the building.

This attitude couldn't help but make people speculate about the identities of these two "special individuals"!

On the seventh floor, in room 502, a group of men in black suits with sunglasses were divided into two teams. One team was taking photos and collecting evidence like detectives.

The other team was operating a device similar to a mine detector, moving back and forth in the charred room like sappers.

Outside the door, several police officers in uniform were guarding the entrance for them!

"How's it going?" the man and woman asked casually as they entered.

"Captain, we detected residual 'chakra' reactions, with a strength of 30 points, fire attribute. From the degree of dispersion, it has been at least 5 hours," one of the "sappers" reported.

"Additionally, we found a large amount of 'Rc cells' residue in the charred material scattered in the room!"

"Indeed, it's a player!" The man and woman in casual clothes exchanged a glance and said in a serious tone.

"One is a 'Ninja' class. From the residual traces around, it seems they had a brief battle here."

The man with the gray temples, referred to as the captain, scanned the room and his expression turned grave.

"From the degree and extent of the burning, it was the Great Fireball Jutsu from the Fire Release techniques! Using a C-rank jutsu in the real world, the dimensional game's restrictions on players have weakened again!"

The captain's tone was heavy as he turned to the detective beside him and asked, "Have you found the information on the owner of this house?"

"We have." The detective replied fluently, clearly prepared in advance.

"Xiao Yun, 18 years old, lost his parents at 10. A high fever made him lose many memories, becoming an orphan in an orphanage. At 16, he became a contracted manga artist for a website, gaining some fame. He's a hikikomori, but after the incident, there's no trace of Xiao Yun."

"Manga artist?" The woman beside the captain scanned the room and immediately asked, "Did you find any of his manga manuscripts?"

"No, there are no manuscripts or books in the room," the detective shook his head.

"What about his works on the website? What's the name of the manga?" The captain seemed to have an idea and asked urgently.

"Seems to be something about a fire ninja?" The detective quickly operated the tablet in his hand. A moment later, his voice trembled, "Gone, Xiao Yun's work page... is gone, and all other information about Xiao Yun... is also gone..."

It was as if this person had vanished from the world, but the information was still there when he checked earlier!

"Ninja? Could it be 'Naruto'? Is that hypothesis true?" The man called the captain's eyes turned from grave to greedy.

"Find him, Xiao Zhu, we must find this Xiao Yun as soon as possible!" The captain's heart raced as he said to the woman beside him.

"Okay!" Xiao Zhu's expression also turned serious. If that hypothesis was true, it would be a game-changer.

She muttered to herself, her forehead gradually sweating. Finally, with a flash of inspiration, a slender and delicate white fox appeared in her hand.

Faced with this magical scene, the detectives and the black-suited men remained motionless, as if they couldn't see the fox.

"Go, find the owner of this house!" Xiao Zhu said to the fox in her hand.

...

"My head hurts..."

Xiao Yun opened his eyes, his gaze lifeless as he looked at the darkness in front of him.

Where is this... place?

He turned around and looked around, only vaguely seeing broken wooden boards and walls, and hearing the dripping of water.

"Ugh..."

The pain in his head made Xiao Yun groan. He closed his eyes and began to recall everything that had happened. If he remembered correctly, he was uploading a manga he had... cough, replicated for a long time to the website, and then...

"Hey! Are you awake?"

With this slightly hoarse voice, a stranger appeared beside him, his face covered with a black cloth. He leaned down, his eyes fixed on Xiao Yun's face, and a pungent smell wafted into Xiao Yun's nose.

"Not yet a player, no high-level equipment, yet you can resist the genjutsu of the Mangekyou Sharingan?" The masked man scrutinized him, his eyes gradually turning greedy.

"Indeed, you are a special existence!"

"Player... equipment... Sharingan?" Xiao Yun was confused. Why did he understand only the last word?

No!

Xiao Yun suddenly realized. The Mangekyou Sharingan only appears in the later parts of "Naruto," and he hadn't written... copied that far yet. How could the other person know?

"Eye, try again, see how much information this guy knows about the 'Naruto' dimension!" With the man's words, a figure in a black cloak with red clouds and a bell-topped hat emerged from the darkness.

Xiao Yun remembered, this was the person who broke into his house and knocked him out!

"The dimensional game's restrictions on players are still strong. I can only use the hypnotic genjutsu once more!" The man in the black cloak said, "Why not just interrogate him?"

"Interrogate? That won't work. People can lie, but memories can't!" The masked man laughed.

"Once is enough. If we can't get anything, I'll use my methods."

"Suit yourself." The man in the black cloak said, his eyes staring directly at Xiao Yun. His deep black pupils instantly turned blood red, the three tomoe swirling and forming a pinwheel shape!

"Mangekyou Sharingan!" Xiao Yun was shocked, his rapidly beating heart suddenly pausing.

He seemed to understand the reason. It was all because of the manga "Naruto" he had uploaded! This made Xiao Yun want to cry. Was it wrong to be a copycat? He just wanted to make some money and marry a beautiful wife!

"Ugh... Ah!!"

Just as Xiao Yun was about to speak, he felt a needle-like pain in his brain, causing him to cry out in pain.

"Indeed, this guy's soul resists mental skills!" The masked man muttered, "Just an ordinary person, why is this happening? Could it be because of the 'exception'?"

"You... damn..."

Hearing the masked man's voice, Xiao Yun couldn't say anything. His head was splitting, and the scene before his eyes became distorted.

In a blur, Xiao Yun saw a blue light spread in front of him, then the light flowed into his right hand, forming a mysterious pattern. A strange voice then echoed in his ear.

[Detected soul wavelength... wavelength matches, conditions met... Dimensional Game player login procedure initiated...]

"Player login!"

The masked man shouted in surprise, and the man in the black cloak also trembled, his spinning Mangekyou Sharingan pausing and slowly reverting to black.

Xiao Yun also felt the pain in his head lessen, but the pain in his right hand was much worse!

"Boom—!"

At the same time, the entire space seemed to shake, as if a large hole had been torn in the dark room, and a blinding light beam shot in, dispelling the darkness!

The two men's faces were extremely grim, staring at the two figures approaching, muttering, "Those pesky Security Maintenance Bureau guys, their 'sense' is really sharp!"

A man and a woman walked in from the hole. Seeing Xiao Yun behind them, the man shouted, "Leave the person, or don't blame me for unleashing a massacre!"

"Massacre? Let me see if you can kill me first!" The masked man laughed maniacally.

In an instant, Xiao Yun felt a chill run down his back. A red shadow flashed before his eyes, followed by a sharp pain in his chest.

"Thud—!"

A crimson blade pierced through Xiao Yun's back, protruding from his chest, accurately piercing his heart.

Accompanied by a hissing sound, a dark red figure slowly entered Xiao Yun's field of vision. It was a humanoid lizard-like creature, with long, powerful muscles covered in deep red scales, and four razor-sharp claws at the ends of its long forelimbs. The long tail that pierced Xiao Yun's heart was its weapon.

It seemed to be a monster that pursued killing.

Strangely, Xiao Yun felt that this creature, which existed solely to hunt, was injecting something into his body, like lava flowing through his veins from his heart. As this substance was injected, the creature's body became increasingly ethereal.

"Damn—!"

Xiao Yun cursed, this situation reminded him of the monsters that parasitize humans in bio-horror works!

"Move!" The man, who had been hesitant, now radiated killing intent and charged forward without restraint.

"Ha, unleash a massacre, let's see if you can kill me!"

The masked man laughed maniacally, suddenly throwing a blue emblem at Xiao Yun's right hand, which then "fused" into his skin.

The four figures drew closer, and finally, they collided violently, fighting fiercely and unleashing their full power, like four beasts clashing. The room was covered in various colored energies.

Boom... Boom... Boom...

The room trembled, the walls cracked, and large chunks of hard stone fell from the ceiling.

As the emblem fused into Xiao Yun's hand, the light pattern on his hand rapidly solidified, finally forming a mysterious emblem. The voice that had sounded earlier appeared again.

[To become a Dimensional Game player, you must strictly adhere to the rules of the Dimensional Game, enjoying the corresponding rights and responsibilities. Do you wish to log in as a Dimensional Game player and immediately enter the Dimensional Game?]

A stone block fell, further clouding Xiao Yun's already blurred consciousness. Looking at the four figures colliding, Xiao Yun used his last bit of willpower to select "Yes"!

A strange force spread from the emblem, enveloping Xiao Yun, as if pulling him away from this world. In Xiao Yun's eyes, whether it was the four colliding figures, the gradually collapsing room, or the world outside, everything began to become transparent.

The man who had broken through the room seemed to notice Xiao Yun's abnormality and chased after him, but was blocked by the masked man.

In the next second, Xiao Yun disappeared from this world!
