Chapter Summaries

After dying in a plane crash, Jiang Rui awakened in a modern world with Rimuru’s appearance and the Great Sage and Predator skills, but he feared his parents’ fate and wondered if he had returned to his original world.

After surviving a car bomb that killed his driver, Jiang Rui made his way to Hell's Kitchen to find Madam Gao's factory and met Ariel, a powerful fellow Reincarnator.

After absorbing Ruksinth, Jiang Rui gained partial authority over Supernatural Paradise and took on a Rimuru-like form. He negotiated a partnership with Kingpin under Brent Rand’s identity, then spent the night at a cemetery and erected gravestones for Zheng Wen and Ruksinth.

Jiang Rui reviewed the requirements for advancing his Sequences and rejected Great Sage’s suggestion to fuse into a Fairy-type path, deciding to raise his attributes instead.

• Jiang Rui activated Elemental Avatar to turn into lightning, but the transformation lasted only three seconds before she fell back as a blue ball.

• Jiang Rui used black mist to process metal into sheets and called the magic a “3D Printer,” surprising Stark and Yinsen.

• After the survival mission failed, Jiang Rui received a new objective to kill a plot character within two months.
• A battle erupted near the cave, and Jiang Rui went out to deal with the guards while Tony Stark continued building his armor.
• Seal Throat was ambushed by enemy supernatural beings and ran deeper into the cave, where he crossed paths with Jiang Rui.

• Seal Throat mistook Jiang Rui for dead until Jiang Rui revived, then learned that his decoy had lured away the man with the short blade.
• Jiang Rui told Seal Throat that the attackers were not trying to kill Tony Stark, then approached the corpses as black mist spread.

Jiang Rui parsed a Child of Light sequence, rescued Tony Stark and Doctor Yinsen, and warned the supernatural factions to retreat from the battle. His threat cleared several groups from the area, but the others faced a barrage of missiles launched by forces coordinated by Nick Fury.

• Jiang Rui extorted a spare house from Tony, returned to his villa with Happy, and decided to rest for two days before taking out Obadiah Stane.

Jiang Rui woke to Tony Stark inviting him to test the Mark II, then opened his loot cards and obtained Swift Feather Boots. He swallowed the boots to bypass their requirements and left the nature of Supernatural Paradise’s game-like system unresolved.

• Tony Stark invited Jiang Rui to help test the Mark II, and Jiang Rui explained that he could fly by using lightning and Earth's magnetic field but found it too tiring.
• Jiang Rui recalled that Seal Throat's team had left after their mission and wondered whether the real world was his former world or a parallel universe.

• Jiang Rui absorbed the Swift Feather Boots, gaining Swift Feather, partial elf attributes, and a major Agility increase, but learned the boots could not be brought back to the main world.
• Jiang Rui relaxed with Tony Stark and stayed out of Obadiah Stane’s conspiracy, protecting Pepper while allowing Tony to face the trials that would make him Iron Man.
• After Tony put on the Mark III to fight Obadiah, Jiang Rui followed him using Sage Mode because she had never learned to fly properly.
• Jiang Rui arrived to find Tony battered by Iron Monger and struck the armor with lightning, but its defenses prevented the attack from having much effect.
• Jiang Rui used water and lightning to briefly paralyze Iron Monger’s mechanical arm, then dodged its powerful punch while realizing the armor’s joints were nonconductive.

Jiang Rui defeated Iron Monger with a massive lightning storm, completing his mission. As he prepared to leave the Marvel universe, he watched Tony Stark declare himself Iron Man and left a letter behind.

• Jiang Rui saw that his sky-blue hair and golden eyes remained unchanged, while Seal Throat relayed the captain’s message of gratitude.
• Jiang Rui considered returning to Xia Country as Brent or lying low and developing through more worlds.

• Jiang Rui left Fili Tailoring after speaking with the elegant woman and decided to avoid drawing attention.
• Jiang Rui exchanged an Extraordinary Point for money, ate, and asked the Great Sage about his upcoming missions and R'lyeh.

• The woman watched Jiang Rui leave and remarked that she had seen him twice, but that he was too far away.

Jiang Rui established a new identity and planned to open a detective exorcism agency, but before he could find a storefront, Supernatural Paradise sent him to the Naruto world during the Second Shinobi World War. He arrived near the Land of Fire’s southern border and began considering how to complete his missions without being killed.

• Jiang Rui used Great Sage to create legal identities, changed his appearance to Jason, and rented a house.

• Jiang Rui used Great Sage to map his location and learned that he was near the Land of Fire’s southern border, far from the main battlefield.

Jiang Rui chose to travel south to Kirigakure, hoping to avoid the war and seek abilities that would strengthen his water-based powers. He encountered a guarded merchant caravan, whose unseen passenger suspected he might be a foreign ninja.

• Jiang Rui compared the great nations and chose Kirigakure because his Physical Immunity resembled the Hozuki Clan's Water Transformation Technique and he hoped to gain ice abilities.
• Jiang Rui traveled south, reasoning that Kirigakure would keep him far from the main battles around Amegakure.
• Jiang Rui spotted a merchant caravan beside the water and decided to approach it for company.
