1 Chapter 1: There wasn't even a truck involved, strange

Joe was just an ordinary 16-year-old boy, well that is is a bit of a stretch as he was very mature for his age, and found it much much easier to make friends with his teachers than his other classmates. He seemed to be a ghost to other people as if he only existed to them when he directly interacted with them. Joe likes programming and has an overactive imagination that has created universes of its own. He is 5 foot 10 tall with dark brown hair and blue eyes and with good looks to boot, not that he was a model or anything but that he was slightly above average. He is kind and would like to think of himself as friendly and tries to help people out whenever he can. He's wearing jeans, a blue shirt, and a wool jumper and currently relaxing on his bed listening to webnovels after a long week at school as it is finally the weekend.

Joe liked to listen to webnovels in his free time to help him relax and pass the time, he especially liked stories about transmigration as they always seemed to be interesting. He also liked to put all the different versions of himself from the different universes in the place of the main character to see what they would do in those circumstances, giving face to the fact the most of his characters had overpowered abilities that they could use to wipe the floor with anyone. However, limiting them to only use as much of their power as necessary and giving them arbitrary limitations to force them to come up with creative and interesting ways to deal with situations. The mental effort to be able to create and maintain such large scale events would be too much for most ordinary people, so that was left to Joe's computer-like logical side that he used to interface with reality.

After Joe finished reading the chapter of 'online game: my health point has no limits' that he was currently listening to he felt a bit peckish and so chose to go and find something to snack on. So after making his way downstairs and to the kitchen, he rummaged around for a bit to find something that would suit his tastes at the moment before settling on a pack of jaffa cakes that was in one of the draws. As soon as he grabbed them he went back to his room to eat while listening to listening to some more webnovels. Getting late he decided to go to bed as he had stuff that he wanted to do tomorrow.

Waking up in the morning he decided to take a shower before getting dressed into similar clothes as yesterday, before making his way downstairs for breakfast. After he finished breakfast he brushed his teeth before continuing to get ready to leave the house.

"Keys, check. Wallet, check. Phone, check. Mask, check" Joe said to himself, going down the checklist of stuff he needs to bring with him.

Knowing that he had everything he needed he turned to grab his coat and shoes and put them on before heading to the front door. As soon as he got close to the front door a blinding white light suddenly enveloped him, forcing him to close his eyes and yet could still see the light. 'WHAT THE!' He thought to himself, cut off by the rapid seemingly directionless acceleration he felt and the feeling of no longer being grounded. 5 seconds of this sort of travel has passed when a small green text document icon appeared in his vision, 'what the hell is going on!' He thought to himself again still hung up on the fact of this strange occurrence not knowing why or how as he was still yet to leave his house.

He didn't have time to dwell on the issue as he felt himself decelerate at an even faster rate than when he was accelerated, suddenly feeling grounded again the light quickly faded around him. Finding himself located in what seemed to be a small alley between two buildings that he couldn't quite tell the height of at the moment. Looking in front he saw out the alley he saw a row of 5 story buildings that had an elegant design to them that he had never seen before with some ads in the window. And was relieved to see that no one was in direct line of sight as he was unsure if only he could see that blinding light or if others could as well. Quickly running further into the alley and around a corner or two before stopping so that anyone that could have seen wouldn't directly find him there if they decided to take a look.

Catching his breath, he took stock of what just happened. "Ok, ok." He stated to himself, "I was about to leave the house when I was enveloped in a blinding light and ended up here, which judging from those buildings outside just there having architecture that I've never seen on earth before. As well as that ad which was strange, A shifter rank battle between the 13th and 7th rank shifters on Saturday. What even are shifters, are they someone like me? And why are they having a rank battle," Joe thought out loud.

"And what about you," Joe said towards the small green text document icon at the bottom left of his vision. As if detecting Joe's focus on it the small green icon turned into a screen and a standard qwerty keyboard with some minor differences that Joe immediately knew the purpose and replacement of other than the fact that it was green, like the windows key for example has turned into a cube icon with circles on the front faces of the cube connected to the centre of an outside line by a single line each. 'Zero of the Creator Consortium.' He immediately thought, as that was the icon for the latest universe that he made.

The screen on the other hand had a green outline about 5 mm thick with a small column down the side that had a few different icons in with a small green line separating it from the rest of the box that only had a 001 and a line that was the text writing position marker. Joe immediately knew what this was after seeing all that, this is a coding window, 'it's might be run by my logical side' joe thought to himself in interest after seeing the consortium icon on the keyboard. Joe thought about closing the window and as if obeying his every command went back to being the small green icon in the bottom left of his vision.

"I guess I will have to leave that for now," Joe murmured to himself as he could sense its untapped potential.

"Wait a sec!" Joe suddenly exclaimed. "If I'm in a new world, that means I've transmigrated here. If I've transmigrated here that means that some sort of event has occurred. Usually, in these types of things in novels, there is a truck involved, I mean heck in one a truck even went through someone's house."

"In this one there wasn't even a truck involved, strange," Joe said muttering to himself.
