The Omnistore System

"Haaa... that was as exciting as watching paint dry," Kevin said with an exaggerated yawn, stretching his arms as if he had just completed an epic quest. He had been sitting for nearly four hours, which was quite an accomplishment considering he usually had the attention span of a hyperactive squirrel.

Beside him were his mother and sister, Riya, who had arrived home about three hours earlier. Competition.

After having a bit of fun with Riya, he also managed to convince her to start cultivating, well he just said she jumped on it there was not need to for convincing "How long is it going to take them to reach enlightenment and open the snack dimension?" he pondered, checking the time. It was about 7 in the evening, and he was starting to think dinner might be just a dream at this rate.

"Mom's going to take a bit longer than Riya," Kevin mused, looking at his mother and pondering the amount of yang qi she had received from him earlier. Her cultivation journey would likely be an extended one, considering she had already finished using all the other resources to open her four extraordinary meridians and gained an extra one with his yang qi. She was now working on her sixth meridian.

Riya, on the other hand, had utilized the resources and had only opened her third meridian, working toward the fourth. Kevin had given her an extra dose of qi potien, and he also planned to share his yang qi, but that could wait. For now, they could focus on cultivating and consolidate their strengths, especially while he was gonna away for a while.

Kevin, feeling a bit bored and with nothing better to do, decided to research Chernobog's Den, an excursion he was planning for the day after tomorrow.

Chernobog's Den, you see, wasn't your run-of-the-mill vacation spot. No, it was one of the many mystical cultivation grounds in the Kysore Kingdom, boasting the prestigious title of the second biggest of them all. But it wasn't just big; it was also mysterious as it wasn't originally part of this world and had somehow become attached to their realm from a different world altogether. It sticks to their world like a stubborn sticker refusing to leave a sticker album from another dimension. Talk about being the odd one out at the cosmic party!

This mystical connection was possible due to the uncanny similarities between Chernobog's Den and their world, along with the presence of qi, even if it was a mixed bag of various qi's. But here's the catch: the place had a super-concentrated dose of qi, and it wasn't exactly a walk in the park. Only cultivators could survive in that kind of environment.

Kevin, ever the inquisitive one, couldn't help but wonder about the name. "Why call it Chernobog's Den?" he mused. He knew the name Chernobog from his love of Marvel comics, where there was a character with the same name, inspired by mythology. In simple terms, Chernobog was the god, the god of darkness, and that was in his previous world.

It seemed that the individual who christened this place as "Chernobog's Den" really knew what they were talking about. Everything here, from the trees to the soil, the rocks, and even the sky, was cast in shades of dark and grey. The only glimmer of brightness came from the sun, which decided to grace the realm with its presence for a mere five hours a day. Of course, in some areas, time was a bit wonky due to the sheer enormity of this peculiar place. Time zones, even in the mystical world, had to play their tricks!

"But how did the person even know that Chernobog was related to darkness?" Kevin pondered, his thoughts meandering through various theories. One of them suggested that there might have been more transmigrators like him before. "If I can be here, then other people can be too, right?" he mused while browsing more about the place.

Then the question of what he would do there popped up again. Initially, he planned to collect resources to sell in his shop, a seemingly mundane task. But as he reflected on his motivation, he couldn't help but wonder, "Why did I want to go there, really?" It was a question that left him somewhat perplexed.

Lost in contemplation, Kevin pondered the true purpose of his existence in this peculiar world. He had a pretty good handle on the whole "having fun" aspect, but he was in search of a deeper motive, something more meaningful. "It's not about forming a harem, that's too basic," he mused, gazing at Maria and Riya, who were engrossed in their own cultivation.

"World domination, perhaps?" he pondered aloud, a mischievous grin dancing on his lips. But the thought quickly dissipated as he chuckled. "Nah, that's not my style."

As he continued to mull over his purpose, his gaze fell upon the image of the eerie, dark realm he was about to explore. An idea dawned on him, and a sly smile crept onto his face. "I've got it," he exclaimed. "I'll investigate the mysterious origins of Chernobog's Den! It's intriguing, and I can collect some goodies while I'm at it. Solving this enigma will be my grand adventure!"

Kevin's newfound motive might not have been the noblest of causes, but who in this world had noble motives, anyway? Most people were driven by power, lust, or some combination of the two. His desire to solve a mystery seemed almost quaint in comparison. Yet, it was enough to keep him engaged and focused. Who knew, perhaps in the process of unraveling the enigma of Chernobog's Den, he might stumble upon a way back to his own world?

He couldn't help but chuckle at the thought. Returning to his previous world didn't hold much appeal, considering the adventures he was experiencing here. But hey, having an escape plan in his back pocket was always a comforting thought.

In his deep contemplation, Kevin somehow managed to overlook the fact that he might end up as the main course at a monster's dinner party. Well, in the world of mysteries and dark adventures, you win some, and you risk becoming someone's snack!
