Why are all the people in my chat group rumored to be from the outside world?

Why are all my chat group members characters from side stories? (Author: Dream Memory)

Good news: Ember has traveled through time.

Bad news: It's Dark Souls 3! At least there's a chat group, but something's wrong with his chat group!

Kevin: What savior warrior? I'm just a working-class person who just moved to Golden Courtyard.

Doctor: Holy crap, wasn't there supposed to be a girl? How come it's a mysterious masked man opening the coffin? And from now on, don't call me the Doctor of Rhodes Island, call me the college student of Reunion.

Star: What pioneers? I'm not familiar with them. I'm a staff member at the Black Tower Space Station.

Ember: ...Holy crap! Why are all the members in my chat group characters from the side stories? This just doesn't make sense.

Let's not even talk about whether these guys can help him beat Professor Gudari.

The problem they now face is:

Rainy night, overpass, Maybach.

Looking ahead at the figure riding a tall, magnificent horse.

Ember: ...You'd be better off not joining this chat group at all.

But... since we're already here, he's the only one who can fill in.

Let that guy riding a horse on the highway see what it means to be immortal!

Ember: Do you think you can kill me?!

Volume: Volume 1

Chapter One: The Four Time Travelers

A dim sky covered the surrounding area, and on a ruin that resembled an ancient relic, the sound of metal clashing could be heard incessantly.

Two figures were locked in fierce combat. The larger figure wielded a massive halberd, precisely piercing through his slender opponent and flinging him violently towards a distant cliff!

"Ugh—!"

The thin figure let out a miserable, unwilling scream: "Go to hell, Gudah! Just you wait! I'll be back and kill you right now!"

In the depths of darkness, a faint flame reignited. The man named Ember opened his eyes. He instinctively touched his chest—the bloody hole pierced by Gundyr's spear had vanished.

Then a barrage of sarcastic remarks poured out of his mouth.

"Fuck you, Gundyr, I'm coming to kill you right now!"

He yanked the broken longsword stuck in the ground, immediately went into charge mode, and cleaved the wandering souls blocking his way as if they were speed bumps, before charging once again toward the towering gatekeeper with murderous intent.

A few minutes later……

Ember opened its eyes once more.

"I threw up!!"

He let out a painful wail, raising two defiant middle fingers to the gloomy sky, "Damn you, God!!"

"Can't be passed on! Let whoever wants to pass on this damn fire go ahead!!"

"Why didn't you find someone who could fight? Why did you bring me? That Gundyr could kill me a thousand times over, I'm tired of dying too!"

It hurts, it hurts too much!

He regretted it.

If time could turn back, he would never have gone out to buy that damn late-night snack, and he would never have bumped into that "time-travel car" that seemed to have been waiting for him.

Da Yun, I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you!

If it were just a time travel, that would be fine, but damn it, why is it Dark Souls 3?

Why?

He fantasized about a sweet, everyday romance, ideally with a system to complete it.

If there's no sweet romance, a system would be nice too! Then he could become an overpowered protagonist and ravage the entire world!

His fantasy was beautiful, but reality was cruel.

First, the wandering spirit killed him 5 or 6 times. After he finally managed to kill one of the wandering spirits, great, then came hordes of wandering spirits.

After dying thirty or forty more times, he finally arrived in front of the boss of the beginner level. Originally, he wanted to skip the story. Gundyr was tall and strong, standing there like a tree. Whoever wanted to fight him could fight him.

He was going to the Firelink Shrine to find the Fire Keeper, not for any other reason than to max out his level and blast everyone in the world to smithereens.

He discovered that he couldn't skip the storyline at all! It was as if Gundyr would wake up, find him, and kill him as soon as he entered a certain distance.

"Even if you're dressed up in the next-door ring, I won't even bother with you. You're fucking dressed up in Soul 3!"

Ember was already gritting his teeth.

Dark Souls 3 is a world of despair, numbness, emptiness, and despair is the theme song of this world.

Yu Jin even considered committing suicide. In this world, anyone who wants to stay can stay. But the reality is that his death is not up to him. He has died hundreds of times. However, not only has he not died, but he is still alive and kicking. Perhaps this is one of the cheat codes of transmigrators.

After a string of curses and swears, he was about to cause trouble for Guda again.

Ding! Welcome to the Dimensional Chat Group.

Ember stopped abruptly. His lips began to twitch uncontrollably.

"Hold it in...don't laugh...Holy crap, how am I supposed to hold it in?!"

"Hahahaha—!!!!" Laughter echoed across the desolate ruins.

"A cheat code! I knew it! It might be late, but it will definitely arrive!"

"The dimensional chat group! You mean that one? The one that connects the multiverse! You can chat with people from different worlds, and even travel between them?! That's amazing!!"

"A chat group that connects multiple universes, allowing you to travel between the worlds of various group members, is amazing!"

At this moment, all Ember wanted to do was tap dance. Whatever world it was, it was a million times better than this damned Lordran! He was making a run for it! Let whoever wants to come to this awful place come!

Anyway, he's just a transmigrator. One more or one more won't make a difference. He's one less or no one will die. Without destiny, no one can die. Isn't there still Lord Ash?

"Let me see who the group members are."

"Daily life in a relationship, daily life in a relationship."

Just as Yu Jin was looking at the chat group interface with anticipation, the other members also expressed their doubts.

Programmer: "What is this?"

College student: "...same question."

Star Core Spirit: "Did this thing also suddenly appear in your minds?"

Programmer: "That's exactly right."

"Hmph, I see you all don't understand anything~" Yu Jin looked at these people's comments and slowly curled up the corner of his mouth.

Although he didn't know the other two people at all, he did know Star Core Spirit. Star Dome Railway, right? He knew it.

Just as this bookworm was about to explain to everyone what this chat group was, a notification sound rang in the minds of everyone in the chat group.

[Should we proceed with dimensional travel?]

Everyone: "???"

Dimensional travel? It sounds like traveling to another world. That seems fraught with unknown risks, and a rational person's first reaction should be to refuse…

-

rainy night.

The icy, biting rain lashed against my skin.

The sensation underfoot had transformed into a hard road surface.

In the field of vision, there is an overpass extending into the depths of the rain, barely illuminated by the dim streetlights.

Four wet figures suddenly appeared on the bridge, looking at each other in astonishment.

Who... can resist the temptation to give it a try? Especially when you've just gained a cheat ability?

Feeling the raindrops hitting his hair, Ember let out another hearty laugh.

"Finally, we're out of that awful place!"

"Passing the fire? Go play with it."

The path to salvation lies within it.

Looking at Ember, who was standing in the rain, seemingly insane yet laughing with his arms outstretched in a radiant smile.

The other three subconsciously took a half step back, their eyes exchanging the same question: Is this group member really okay mentally?

Kevin hesitated for a moment, then reached out his hand, a hint of concern in his voice: "Um... are you... alright?"

"I'm fine, not only am I fine, I feel more relaxed than ever before." Yu Jin flicked his hair back with his hand.

"It's really true! But where am I?" The doctor felt his mind was in a bit of a mess.

Only then did Yu Jin, still feeling happy, take a closer look at his three group members.

A Kevin from Honkai Impact 3.

A Doctor from Arknights.

The female protagonist of a star-studded railway.

“Very good, it’s easy now that we all know them. Watch me use my amazing wisdom to deceive them.”

Xing looked at herself, who was soaking wet, with some disgust.

"I think we should go back first; it's so uncomfortable getting soaked in the rain."

Kevin nodded in agreement; he still had work to finish.

However, the doctor's somewhat puzzled voice reached their ears.

"How are we going to get back?"

Yu Jin looked relaxed, as if he were talking about taking out the trash: "Just go back the way you came, right?" He naturally tried to call out the chat group in his mind, looking for the option to go back.

A few seconds later, the relaxed expression froze on Yu Jin's face.

Chapter 2 Nibelungen

"It's like a death game with no exit button. It's reasonable that there's no return function when crossing dimensions, right?" Yu Jin wiped the rain off his face, trying to convince himself.

"Reasonable my ass!" Kevin, Star, and Dr. shouted at the same time.

Ember remained optimistic—could any world be worse than the Soul World?

At least here there are lights and modern buildings; it looks much better than there!

Four unlucky guys, like stray cats drenched in water, trudged along the seemingly endless overpass, the puddles splashing rhythmically under their feet.

“By the way,” Ember snapped his fingers in the rain, but unfortunately, they didn’t make a sound because they were wet, “we haven’t formally introduced ourselves yet? I’ll go first, Ember, the gloriously retired former Flame Relay.”

"The Firebringer?" Xing frowned, raindrops dripping down her bangs. "What exactly do they do? Work on new energy sources?"

Kevin and the doctor looked thoughtful, but remained silent.

"Hey, a fool, to put it bluntly, a top-tier traitor, the kind who burns himself to light up others." Yu Jin waved his hand, looking as if he couldn't bear to look back on the past.

"The Fool... could it be the Masked Fool?" Xing's gaze began to wander around. Could she be in some kind of illusion?

If it's the Masked Fool, then this possibility isn't out of the question.

"What about you guys? You can't expect me to perform a one-man show, can you?" Yu Jin urged verbally, but his mind was as steady as a rock—he was a seasoned anime and manga fan! He could recite the characters' settings by heart!

Kevin helplessly shielded his eyes from the rain, which felt like a supercharged showerhead.

"His name is Kevin. In the previous world, he was a programmer who had just graduated from university."

Yu Jin's expression froze.

Xing said calmly, "My name is Xing, and I am a researcher at the Black Tower Space Station."
