Volume 1: Chivalry of a Failed Knight World

Traveler from Another World

"Marquis Xiaoyao?"

Amidst the endless dimensions, Byakuya rubbed the token engraved with small seal script in his hand, his expression a little strange. "I really didn't expect this thing could be preserved?"

"But what's the use of this?"

Just a token, away from the Qin Shi World, would anyone even recognize it?

Byakuya couldn't figure it out, so he put it away. Drifting in the boundless Sea of Quanta, time had long lost its meaning.

Emm... this feeling?

After a long while, Byakuya slowly opened his dark eyes. "Hoo~ Is it finally time to go to the next world?"

[■■■■]

??? What is that?

Abruptly, Byakuya heard an unspeakable sound, and the token at his waist seemed to respond—that was the voice of the world!

"...You really have a lot of influence~"

Rubbing the token, Byakuya couldn't help but sigh. He roughly understood:

There were two options. One was to enter directly, as before; as for the other... his body would be reverted to his childhood, and the world would arrange an identity for him to integrate into.

—Of course, he chose the second option~

Byakuya was very experienced. This kind of integrated entry, he had experienced it before in the Hitori no Shita world, with many benefits~ That time it was at Longhu Mountain, everything was arranged by the world.

Thus, an invisible wave swept over, and Byakuya's body slowly reverted to his childhood... A strange halo formed a cocoon, enveloping the young Byakuya, and falling towards the world.

◆ Explanation of the token

No matter what, Byakuya still had Yanhuang blood. Having the chance to enter Qin Shi Mingyue, he naturally had to get involved—he joined Great Qin!

Great Qin perished after the second generation? Then he would defy fate and extend the luck of Great Qin for ten thousand generations, changing the course of history.

That's right, the First Emperor survived! Thus, the luck of later generations gathered on the First Emperor, and he was posthumously honored as "Marquis Xiaoyao," almost equivalent to the will of the world!

The token represents the world's affirmation. Therefore, in other worlds, the world's will would somewhat give face.

1. [Yin-Yang]

It turned out to be the Chivalry of a Failed Knight world~ As time passed, Byakuya gradually clarified the world he was in.

◆ Blade Dancer

They are special beings, appearing only one in a thousand, who can manifest their souls into the weapon "Inherent Gear" and use Magic Power to manipulate supernatural abilities.

The abilities of Blade Dancers cannot be explained by current scientific technology. Those with high abilities can control time and space or reverse causality, while those with lower abilities can also enhance their physical abilities to a realm far beyond ordinary people.

This is a miraculous power that surpasses ordinary people from birth, an extraordinary force that martial arts and weapons cannot contend with.

So, what will my ability be? It's really... exciting~

Under the cool night sky, a young boy sat in the courtyard, his eyes like black gemstones sparkling as if gazing at the stars.

"Little White, time for bed~"

Just then, a childish female voice rang out, causing Byakuya's expression to turn helpless. "I've told you not to call me Little White, Sister Kiriko."

The girl who appeared behind Byakuya had short, emerald-green hair and a round, cute face—a young Yakushi Kiriko.

"Or should I call you Little Ye? That doesn't sound good~" Yakushi Kiriko reached out her small hand to Byakuya and gently pinched his round cheek.

"Come on, Little White, let's go take a bath."

"That won't do, Sis~ I'm old enough now, it's about time we separated." Byakuya jumped up, crossing his arms and giving a big yawn.

But he was still young, and Yakushi Kiriko wasn't that mature either, so she naturally refused, "Stop messing around, Little White. How old are you? Come with me, Sister."

I don't want to!

However, no matter how grand Byakuya's past experiences were, there was always one type of creature that could always restrain him—the creature known as "Sister."

But childhood innocence is ultimately perishable. The children of the Yakushi family grew up and gradually entered adolescence. During this period, the Blade Dancer's abilities also gradually awakened...

Compared to Byakuya, Yakushi Kiriko was a few years older, so she came into contact with the Blade Dancer earlier.

"Little White, you have to try your best~"

Until one day, it was finally Byakuya's turn. Yakushi Kiriko, dressed in a white lab coat, cheered him on from the side. Her personality had matured considerably, but when it came to Byakuya...

Byakuya was no longer a child, and he quickly calmed down, obeying the call from his heart... The radiance of his Inherent Gear began to shine in his palm bit by bit.

"Manifest, Yin-Yang!"

Then, an ancient token engraved with small seal script slowly appeared in Byakuya's hand.

Emmm...

??? Why is it you again? Byakuya grasped the Marquis Xiaoyao token and quickly mastered its use. But didn't I remember... this thing was supposed to be discovered by myself?

It was for this very reason that Stella turned the [Dragon] into a literal fire-starter. Is it a gift from the world? Or are you special?

Byakuya looked at the token in his hand. But at this moment, Yakushi Kiriko, who was waiting by his side, leaned in. "Little White, Little White, how is it? What exactly is the ability?"

"...You'll know when you see it yourself, Sister Kiriko." Saying that, he activated the ability of [Yin-Yang]. The token split into two, transforming into black and white Yin-Yang fish.

A burst of radiance flashed, enveloping Byakuya. The [Yang] side needs no further explanation, and the remaining [Yin] side...

—It was entirely taken from what Byakuya was thinking in his heart. But imagination is ultimately not concrete enough, so it came to... the second dimension! The wives in the second dimension must be deeply imprinted!

The first to be locked onto were the white-haired ones: Kiana, Skadi... a host of familiar images flashed by. Then, it was about height! And also~

In short, there were too many wives in the second dimension for Byakuya to count, so he could only rely on his subconscious to lock onto one of them.

Emmm... So, my favorite is Big Duck Duck? But at my current age, it should be Bronya?

As expected, when the dust settled, what appeared in the light was Herrscher of Reason in a gorgeous formal dress.

A very strange feeling surged in his heart: the main consciousness was still in Byakuya, but on Bronya's side... it was also him, and only by uniting the two would the consciousness be complete.

"...Little White, what's going on with you?"

Byakuya was still calmly experiencing it, but Yakushi Kiriko beside him was already a little stunned.

In response, Byakuya and Bronya opened their eyes in sync and exchanged a smile. Immediately after, Bronya lifted her skirt hem and introduced herself to Kiriko, "You can call me Bronya, Sister Kiriko."

"[Yin-Yang], like twins, if one exists, the other will not die."

As she spoke, the pure white Yang fish symbolizing [Yang] transformed into a sharp Tang Saber. Although the world of Qin Shi Ming Yue was more about swordsmen, Byakuya was more skilled with sabers.

He flicked the saber's body with his index finger, and with a clear ringing sound, Byakuya added indifferently, "In a sense, Bronya is also me."

"Sister Kiriko, I'll need your guidance in the future."

"Sister Kiriko, at the hospital, can I help you? In terms of medicine, I might need to understand a little."

From then on, the Yakushi family gained another member, and Bronya also joined this big family.

And as the Blade Dancer abilities awakened, Magic Power began to surge within Byakuya and Bronya. So... it was time to try the systems they had learned before.

"How is it, Byakuya?"

"Still not working."

Although it looked like a conversation, it was actually a self-addressed question. Byakuya helplessly put down his hand and shook his head at Bronya, "Things like Feng Hou Qi Men seem to be restricted."

"Lightning Magic has also been replaced by Psionics."

In Bronya's hand, a dark Dark Lightning flickered, but it wasn't as strange as it seemed; it was used like Yang Five Thunders... Don't ask why, just know it's cool like this.

Just then, the Yin-Yang fish heated up slightly, giving them approximate information—this was the world's rejection.

Emmm...

"It seems there's no other way~"

With this realization, Byakuya ceased his attempts. Reaching the level of worlds was beyond his control. "Bronya, how about we spar?"

"Okay, Bronya also wants to know who is stronger, Bronya or Byakuya."

Silently, the two severed their empathic link, becoming independent to a certain extent, their thoughts no longer interacting.

"Manifest, Myriad Phenomena!"

"Manifest, Silver Wing!"

A Tang Saber, glinting with cold light, appeared... Myriad Phenomena represented Byakuya's aspirations, his hope that one day he would reign supreme over all phenomena!

On Bronya's side, she summoned a katana, its primary color a deep blue, transformed from the Heavy-Duty Rabbit. "Bronya is going."

"Are you going to use your phantom form?"

"There's no need."

Clang!

The blades clashed fiercely, sparks flying. Bronya was clearly more agile, bending low and rushing into Byakuya's embrace... then, dark lightning flickered.

Black and white lightning intertwined, arcs of electricity shattering the nearby ground, leaving scorched marks. Byakuya retreated a few steps, holding his saber. "Hey, hey, Bronya, do you have to be so serious?"

"...You're using the flat of the blade? Hmph~ Bronya doesn't need you to go easy on me."

Her tone was calm, carrying a unique milky scent. Bronya lightly stroked the blade and attacked Byakuya once more.

Time, thus, in its ordinariness, slowly slipped away
