Frank heard the roar of his mother, as he answered back to not force her to enter his room.

"Alright, I am getting ready, stop screaming…" he said. ​​

"Okay, good boy. I'm making pancakes this morning, so hurry up or your sister will eat them all" said Frank's mother, walking downstairs to the first floor of their house.

"Okay…" muttered Frank, as his mother finally let him go, he decided to assess himself after going to another world.

He checked his skin, a bit tanned, but that's because summer break had just ended, and he went to the beach (forced) with his family.

He then went to his mirror and saw his appearance… he was the same as ever. Aquamarine eyes, chestnut hair, a small and pointy nose, and a slim complexion… though, if he looked sharply enough into his arms and stomach, they seemed a bit tougher, but not much physical change.

And then… of course, his clothes.

"I am still wearing the farmer clothes…" he muttered.

Indeed, they seemed to have carried with Frank to Earth, and as he glanced at his phone while thinking about the 'status' word, the status appeared in front of his sight, as if projected by the phone itself through some kind of hologram device.

"Damn, talk about an improvement. Who would have thought that taking weed would make me stronger? All of my stats increased and the equipment is still there- Wait, what?! I get to bring all of that to this world too… Isn't that a bit…? Never mind… Let's just go with it…" muttered Frank.

Frank decided to hide the farmer's clothes, pretty much making them simply disappear while still giving him the stats, as he appeared almost naked in front of the mirror aside from his boxers.

"This is way too convenient… Can I wear other clothes though?" he thought, taking on a shirt and trying it out.

[You have equipped the [Simple Shirt (Cosmetic Item)]!]

"Cosmetic item? So, whatever that does not give stats is a cosmetic item, I would assume? I see I see… Very straightforward… I have simply become a game character at this point… this is… the greatest dream that any gamer… and non-gamers to an extent, would ever wish for" thought Frank while clenching his fist, he was incredibly happy to have been chosen by the heavens for such fortuitous events to occur on his life… Even though they did not make much sense when he put thought into it.

Frank sat down and sighed once again, everything was happening way too fast, and although he was outstandingly adapting to everything at an insane pace, he recognized that he might become schizophrenic if he did so too easily. It was simply not sane for a person to accept such ridiculous things happening one after another as if nothing, even when just yesterday he was a simple kid.

At the very least, like any other human being, he decided to seek answers through speculation, as the System was not as interactive as he thought, and would not answer the questions he asked to it.

"…Okay, so to recap everything. I got hit by lightning and then… my phone somehow malfunctioned? What kind of cliché is this? And then, when I hit the phone with my face while I had my body still with electricity running around my body, which I do not know how it did not simply fry me alive, I entered the phone and was randomly sent to the world of one of my Apps, one of the apps that I haven't touched for a long time, Farm Town, which was simply about creating a farm…" Frank analyzed.

There was no scientific explanation for all of this. The lightning should have just fried him alive at worst, or left him with a few wounds at best, but Frank felt better than ever, and his phone had also gone back to normal.

This was simply… a supernatural event.

Magic…

"Well, if Magic existed in that world, and all of these ridiculous things are happening, this is most likely something related to magic… Could that Lightning have been fired by something else than just the cloudy sky? Are there beings capable of producing such miracles on Earth? Really? That could mean a whole amount of possibilities than just entering game worlds… What is truly this world? This planet? Is everything so 'normal' as I thought? Is everything so 'simple' as I always considered throughout my life? My whole existence and the things happening to me already tells me that the possibilities for many supernatural things to exist are extremely high…" he thought.

Frank had just recently reached seventeen years of age and had recently finished the last year of Middle School. He was older than he should be, but that is because he had been traveling with his mother across the world before finally settling down in Japan when his mother married his new stepfather here.

His sister was from his mother and his stepfather, and Frank's father had disappeared when he was a baby, so he never got to know his blood-related father. But it was not as if he cared much, his stepfather was a nice man.

However, because Frank looked still rather young and was of small stature, he went quite well with the appearance of the other kids at school even if he were one or two years older than them.

Despite his young age, Frank had gone through his fair share of life difficulties and had experienced many things in life, which had forged his character to be very adaptable to the situations given to him… But even then, this was way too ridiculous, it was just like a Light Novel or a Web Novel.

"Oh no! What if I begin to be chased down, just like any protagonist in a web novel of such settings would have to go through?! Isn't this fortuitous event kind of a curse then? Wait, am not being a bit paranoiac? I must go on my life as I can… If I constantly think about bad things to happen to me, they might come faster than they would truly be… I do not want to trigger any red flags. Well, I will use this power of mine to grow strong and… Ugh, am I sounding so cliché already? Okay, I will just get strong and blablabla… Anyways, what are APP Points? Can the System answer this at the very least?" said Frank, trying to calm down and move out of such cliché thoughts for once.

Ding!

Just as he thought, such a question was indeed answered by the System.

[APP Points can be spent in the Gacha Function and the APP Shop Function of the System, which you have not unlocked yet!]

[You can earn more APP Points by completing Quests of all kinds!]

[How about we begin with a daily quest, without any Death penalty this time?]

"I see… Wait, daily quest?! In Earth? You know that we are no longer in an APP World-"

Ding!

[Daily Quests have been unlocked!]

"These quests… well, they're optional, but the rewards are enticing… Like this, I could pretty much grind 10 APP Points per day… but I cannot even use them yet… That is frustrating, you know?" said Frank, as the system remained in silence.

Frank then remembered his other quests, which included making relationships with the girls he met in Terra. If he succeeded, he would unlock the shop function, and he would finally be capable of buying things… whatever the shop sold.

"Hmm… How about the World's Gate?"

And as he willed it, Frank touched the strange app on his phone with the tip of his finger, as he was transported to a different space.

There, he found himself in a strange temple, seemingly old and ruinous, covered in moss, and also quite cold. The temple was closed on all sides, but there was a small monolith in the middle of the room.

[You have entered the World's Gate!]

[You can choose which worlds you can travel into here, just touch the monolith and select your next destination!]

"Wait… that easy?" Frank thought, walking towards the monolith and touching it with his hand.

Ding!

[Welcome to the World's Gate, World Traveler]

[Available Worlds Categories: [APPs]

[Available APP Category Worlds: [Terra (Farm Town APP)], [Camelot (Knights of Arthur APP)], [Abyss (Abyssal Realms: Vampire's Wars APP)], [Gaia (Monster Catcher Tale APP)], [Locked], [Locked], [Locked], […]

"There are three more worlds I can travel to… and those are all from my favorite Phone Games?! No way… Could I be able to one day meet with Seraphine?! Or Silvana, the bewitching Vampire Empress! Crap, I am getting way too overly excited…"

Frank could not help but act like an idiot as he fantasized about meeting in real life the waifus he had collected on his game through the years he had played.

However, not everything was just games. Just on his experience in Terra, Frank knew that the worlds he would enter were not exactly as his game account, for example, the Farm Town APP world, his home was being inhabited by other people, and the weed he harvested seemingly was of a strange type of plant that sold for a lot, which he always thought was only normal and useless weed.

Just thinking about how terrifying it would be to travel to Abyss, the world dominated by demons, vampires, and monsters… Frank would surely simply die there with his current stats, and there has not been any guarantee in the System that he would just revive if he died in a game world. Well, if he were to not 'exit' the world before.

"Camelot might be okay… As long as I join the Knights of Arthur as some kind of soldier… but in Abyss… no way, I would be a simple human inside a world where monsters roam freely, vampires fight for supremacy, and demons crawl underground. Ah, and Gaia seems to be the same thing… Would I be able to summon heroes or monsters like in the original games there? Maybe not… well, there is the Gacha function for that, right? I just need to unlock it…" muttered Frank.

Frank was not feeling like going to any world as of now and decided to go back to Earth, and finally prepare himself for school, taking a bath, wearing his school uniform, and then going to have breakfast with his family.
