Max Dekker, a typical 21-year-old game coder at Fujima Corp, led a mundane life filled with a 10-hour job, no friends, and minimal social interactions—an introvert immersed in the world of gaming.

While Max's mind operated at a leisurely pace in reality, he transformed into a mastermind when it came to gaming. 

One fateful late night, as Max diligently coded alone in his office, his computer screen unexpectedly displayed the status window of a gaming character.

"What is 'Karma'? I haven't added something like that to the status screen. And what is 'World Jump Time'?" Max inquired, bewildered.

[Multiverse Awaits You: Have a Safe Trip.]

Suddenly, a screen materialized before him, and Max vanished from his office.

"This? Why are there zombies here in this world ?"

[Universal Jump Completed]

"Damn! This world is overrun by AI ? I have to escape, as soon as possible."

[Paradox Has Been Found]

"What the Fuck is wrong with this world? Why are there only women here?"

'Hmm...?' Max looked at the screen and noticed that there was an empty column on the screen and just below the column was a big keyboard that had many alphabets not only from English Language but from ancient Greek and ancient Roman as well.

"My destination ? If I am right then... My destination is Earth 667-H." Max spoke as he started typing the same thing into the column without wasting another second.

"Where is 'R' ? Why is this keyboard so fucking big ?" Max spoke as he struggled while searching for English alphabets.

"Done." Max spoke as he clicked on the button that was underneath it, named as 'Travel'.

Suddenly another screen popped up in front of him.

[Are you sure you want to go to 'Earth 667-H' ?]

[Do not show again/Yes.] [Yes.] [No.]

Max clicked on the 'Yes' Option without thinking too much this time.

Suddenly, Max's body disappeared from his office once again.

[You have consumed 1 Travel Stone.]

Suddenly, Max's body re-appeared at the same location that he just disappeared from.

It was his office and he was standing on the second floor, first corridor.

"Hmm...? Nothing happened ?" Max questioned as he touched his body and ensured that all of his body parts are still intact to his body.

Max immediately looked around and noticed that it was still night in his office and no one was there except him.

"Did it not work ?" Max questioned as he opened his quest tab.

[Quest Info: Jump to Earth 667-H and Learn to Fight.]

[Failing Consequences: 40 minutes on Planet X-SF of Universe 190.]

[Winning Reward: One Bronze Mystery Box]

[Time Left to finish the Quest: 7 days 23 hours 59 minutes 40 seconds]

"Hmm...? According to this I have about 8 days to finish this quest... It means the quest has already started and if it's started then does that mean, I am on a different earth now ?" Max questioned as he turned around and suddenly his eyes fell upon the emergency box that he just broke in order to pull out the axe.

"Holy Cow...." Max marveled at the unbroken box, finding it astonishing that the very axe he currently holds is also neatly tucked inside the emergency box as if no one ever touched the box.

"How can this be possible ?" Max questioned, gently touching the glass and discovering a small scratch on the upper left corner of the axe.

Swiftly, Max examined the upper left corner of the axe in his hands, only to find an identical scratch on it as well.

"No doubt, this is the same axe... I should use that skill now." Max spoke as he used his skill.

Suddenly a notification popped up.

[Earth 667-H is an exact replica of the earth 667-F, That you came from, but on this earth the mechanism of time is working slowly and that's why time can differ a bit.

Laws of physics are all the same and Laws of world are all the same. Although, Some minor changes can be noticed.]

"Hmm... Okay, so this is just like the same earth that I came from huh ?" Max questioned as he started walking towards the first floor, where his cubical was situated.

As max was going down the stairs, he noticed a window and looked outside.

"There is no cyclone, huh ?" Max spoke as he continued walking towards his cubical, as soon as max reached on the first floor... He started hearing some noises.

"Hmm...?" Max wondered what the noise was and started walking towards it because it was coming from the same direction, where his cubical was situated.
