What do you mean I've traveled to worlds geared towards children?

It's amazing, even though Chen Xiaolian was pinned down by such a heavy tree for quite a while, it seems that she only sprained her ankle in the end.

...Are all children's worldviews this illogical?

However, seeing that Chen Xiaolian was alright, Ron breathed a sigh of relief.

Only then did he have the leisure to watch An Yan, who had transformed into 'Armor Hero', fight the black bear.

Just like in most tokusatsu films or anime, the male protagonist's first transformation doesn't end in failure.

Although the process will be difficult, the goal of defeating the enemy and rescuing our comrades will never change.

After all, if the male lead suffers setbacks in the very first episode, his overall image will be damaged, unless...

This is not the first episode.

But judging from the current situation, no matter how Ron sees it, he feels that this is the first episode of some children's cartoon.

The highlight of this episode should be An Yan's transformation.

Just as Ron had expected, after An Yan unleashed a 'Flame Kick,' the black bear seemed to be somewhat dead.

Afterwards, An Yan still felt uneasy, so he pulled out a greatsword from somewhere and cleaved the roaring black bear in two.

The black bear was killed by An Yan's sword, but there was no scene of blood being spilled.

Just like energy dissipating, the black bear's entire body turned into pure light spots and dissipated in the air.

Finally, it disappeared completely.

Only after confirming that the black bear had truly disappeared did An Yan revert to his original form.

Without even trying to figure out what had happened, An Yan, who had just turned back into his original form, rushed to Ron and Chen Xiaolian's side.

Looking at Chen Xiaolian, who was sitting leaning against a tree trunk with a sprained ankle, An Yan's expression was full of worry:

"Senior Chen, are you alright?"

"Ah, it's just a sprained ankle, nothing serious... But speaking of which, what was that you did just now! A transformation? A superhero? A Kamen Rider??"

Chen Xiaolian completely ignored the injury on her foot. Her eyes sparkled as she looked at An Yan, her gaze full of curiosity.

An Yan might be a bit introverted, and Chen Xiaolian's questioning made him quite embarrassed.

He scratched his cheek and whispered, "I...I don't know either. I just saw you guys were in danger and I felt really anxious. Then...then a voice told me to muster up my courage, and then...and then it turned out like that."

"..."

So, in that brief moment just now, you actually put on an internal monologue?

Are you going to stage another wave of nostalgia later?

Ron was at a loss for words. He looked An Yan up and down, then his gaze suddenly sharpened as he stared at the back of An Yan's left hand and said:

Did you have a 'tattoo' like this on your left hand before?

"A tattoo...? I don't have any tattoos...Huh?!...What is this!?"

An Yan looked down at the back of his left hand.

On the back of his left hand, the head of a red lion is faintly etched.

The lion's head was very abstract, drawn with just a few simple lines, but it was still easy to recognize what the image was at a glance.

This is the lion pattern, which is very similar to An Yan's transformed posture just now.

"Huh? I think I have one too..."

As Ron observed An Yan, Chen Xiaolian beside him also exclaimed in surprise.

She opened her right hand and found that on her right wrist was a pink butterfly with heart-shaped wings.

Ron was stunned again.

Chen Xiaolian has one too? What about me?

He raised his hands and looked at them, palms and backs, for a long time, but couldn't find a similar pattern.

No way? I'm not even a supporting character??

Wasn't it supposed to be a 'Wonderful Childhood Simulation System'? Are you sure this isn't a 'Passerby Simulation System'?

Having confirmed that neither of his palms bore a similar pattern, Ron was about to have a serious argument with the system when An Yan suddenly exclaimed in surprise:

"Ron, your chest!"

"Chest?"

Ron looked down.

Above his heart, on his collarbone, was a blue wolf head tattoo.

The blue wolf head tattoo was as abstract as An Yan's lion head tattoo, yet it was instantly recognizable.

Staring at the wolf head tattoo, Ron first breathed a sigh of relief, then a nonsensical thought popped into his head.

By the way, does this count as a tattoo?

Will I still be able to take the civil service exam in the future?

Chapter 5: The Village Chief Appears in the Beginner Village!

Taking the civil service exam is just a joke.

After all, Ron's true form is still in another world with swords and magic.

And most importantly, this tattoo is not a real tattoo; it is merely a manifestation of the power of this world.

Perhaps this thing can only be used in this world?

Ron guessed that, but soon, a burning light flashed in his eyes.

If... just if! If he could bring the power he possessed in the simulated world back to the real world, would he then have the power to seek revenge on monsters... or even the Demon King?

If so...

"But why can't I become like you?"

Just as Ron was starting to have an idea, Chen Xiaolian next to him shook her right hand and muttered something under her breath.

The "you" in Chen Xiaolian's words clearly refers to An Yan.

She had just imagined transforming like An Yan, but she couldn't do it; it was as if the pattern on the back of her hand was just decoration.

"I don't know." An Yan scratched his head. "I don't know how I transformed just now..."

"Can you still transform now?"

Ron then pressed for more information.

After Chen Xiaolian finished speaking, he also tried to transform, but the result was the same as Chen Xiaolian's; he couldn't transform into the 'Armor Hero' like An Yan.

It's clear that there's something crucial he overlooked.

Is it because my own beliefs are insufficient? Or is it because I am not 'childlike' enough?

Ultimately, Ron isn't really a child.

That's why he asked An Yan if the other party could transform again. He wanted to know the difference between himself and An Yan.

An Yan pondered for a moment, then raised his arm, attempting to transform.

But in the end, he shook his head dejectedly: "No, it seems like I don't have enough energy? Anyway, I can't transform again right now, I need to wait a while."

"What you mean by 'you need to wait a while' is... that you can transform again, but not right now, right?"

Ron confirmed it again.

"Well, it's like this, it's hard for me to explain..."

An Yan didn't seem to be very good at expressing himself; he talked for a long time but still couldn't explain what was going on.

Ron didn't press the matter. He put aside his questions for the time being and got up to look at the sky.

The once bright sky was now tinged with crimson by the setting sun, signifying that night was approaching, yet they were completely unaware of their own surroundings.

The only thing Ron could understand was that they were definitely not in their original world at this moment.

They arrived in a strange, even fantastical, world.

"Never mind, we should find a safe place first..."

Ron thought for a moment, and was about to lead the two to a safe place to rest when he suddenly heard a voice from above:

"Hey, you guys, you must be the legendary Phantom Beast Warriors, right?"

"!?"

The sound from above startled them.

The three looked up at the sky and saw a white dove standing on the trunk of a large tree not far away.

Unlike ordinary pigeons, this pigeon is very large, at least half the size of an adult human.

It was wearing a white suit-like outfit, and it's unclear who made it wear that.

At this moment, the pigeon, which is half the height of a person, is standing on the tree trunk, looking down at the three people below.
