There was an Internet cafe in the lonely streets of Manhattan, New York.
It was a small, cozy space tucked away between towering buildings. The cafe's warm ambiance and the aroma of freshly brewed coffee welcomed both locals and tourists seeking a momentary escape from bustling city life.
A fine young man was watching his favorite game streamer while eating a cup of noodles. He was so focused until something unexpected appeared in front of him.
[You have been selected as a "Guild Master" in the "Dimensional Chat Group of Creation and Destruction."]
The message was in the shape of floating text. It shimmered with a vibrant glow, capturing the young man's attention.
Because of the surprise, he almost choked on his food.
He was lucky to have a bottle of water with him. He sipped it to get his throat clear.
He returned his gaze to the floating text in front of him after finishing the water.
"What the heck is this?"
When he attempted to touch the floating lettering, his hand slid through it like smoke.
Confusion washed over him as he tried to make sense of the mysterious phenomenon. He wondered if it was some kind of advanced holographic technology or a supernatural occurrence.
"Am I dreaming, or is the cup of noodles expired?"
He began to doubt his own sanity. He looked around to see if anyone was around, but it was now after midnight, and there were only three or four customers.
They didn't even bother looking at him. They were having a good time playing games.
He then returned his attention to the text.
"The guild master? Dimensional Chat Group of Creation and Destruction... These messages are similar to those I've seen in fiction."
As he read through the messages, he couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement. The idea of being part of a guild and having the power to create and destroy in different dimensions seemed too surreal to be true. However, the expiration date on the cup of noodles still bothered him, making him question if this was all just a bizarre dream.
After he finished pondering, the flying letters swirled and formed a window like the ancient messenger.
He was astonished.

"Interesting. Is it true that I am the chosen one? So suspicious."
Sullivan paused for a moment.
He was perplexed as to why he had been chosen. His upbringing was not that of a protagonist; his life had been so prosperous. He lacked parents but was not an orphan. He had a gorgeous, affluent grandfather and grandmother, like a wealthy grandfather and grandmother.
He was adopted when he was two years old, and his adoptive parents treated him rotten.
Why was he in an internet cafe when he could play the game at home on his custom-built, high-end computer, which cost over $10,000?
He did it because he enjoyed the atmosphere here, which he could never experience when playing at home.
This internet cafe belonged to him. People would think it was on a lonely street, but his grandparents hired a large number of professional bodyguards to keep an eye on him. 24/7
There was even a sniper post on the adjoining high structure.
The cafe's security measures were taken to ensure his safety and protect him from any potential threats. Additionally, the sniper post provided an extra layer of security, giving him peace of mind while he indulged in his favorite pastime.
As a result, he was unsuited to play the protagonist.
He couldn't come up with anything. He will think about it later. In his entire life, He will always be the lucky one.
His luck was so prominent. When he was playing gacha, he never felt salty.
He simply needed to use the free primogem he obtained in-game to obtain the majority of the five-star characters and weaponry in Genshin Impact.
'Please say a prayer for me, mortal.'
Return to the topic at hand.
He could send one invitation, but who would it go to?
"Can I send an invitation to a fictional character from a movie, video game, or anime?"
Sullivan attempted to pose a question. He had no idea whether the floating letters or dialogue were sentient or not.
Then he didn't get an answer.
'Not conscious? Perhaps it did not want to answer the question.'
Before sending an invitation, Sullivan shook his head. He only had one shot, so he'll send it to whoever he thinks will help him the most.
He put his hand on the invitation box. He looks for the name he wants.
"Raiden Ei!!, I choose you... "

[Invitation rejected]
"Rejected?"
[DCGCD level 3 required]
"Ah... so it was because of the low level. What a pity. If I could not invite her, then what about Zhongli, my second favorite? "
[Invitation rejected]
"Humm, what about Diluc?"
[Invitation rejected]
"Lisa"
[Invitation rejected]
"Haaa, what about Aether or Lumine?"
[Invitation rejected]
"I feel salty!"
Sullivan gave up on inviting someone from genshin impact. He thought that the world of genshin may be higher than his
Yeah, that must be the reason.
Sullivan attempted to find many names in many movies, games, and anime. Any other name in the globe could not be invited unless his DCGCD was upgraded.
"Now that there aren't many worlds to which I could extend an invitation, and I know only so much about the story."
Sullivan deliberated for a long time before making his decision.
He chooses to issue an invitation to the magical world. Harry Potter, The Order of the Phoenix...

[Invitation Received]
[Hermione Granger, Director of the Ministry of Magic, has joined the chat group]
"Yes! Finally,
Hermione: Merlin's beard, what magic is this? I could not dispel it!
Sullivan: Hello
Hermione:...
Hermione: Hello, are you the one who performed this spell on me? How can you do it? This spell had no magical signature, and I couldn't dispel it intriguing. ??! legilimency! You are breaking the Ministry of Magic's rules. Please stop right now.
"She is Hermione Granger"
Sullivan: Okay, I'll answer each of your questions one by one. I did not cast this magic on you, thus the answer to your second question is also no. I'm not sure how to use it. And as for the invasion of privacy by legilimency, I'm a muggle, so whatever.
Hermione: Muggle? And did not cast the spell on me? I'm not convinced. You're playing me for a fool.
Sullivan: But I told you the truth.
Hermione: Stop deceiving me. If you don't tell me the truth, I will
'It was my mistake',
[Hermione Granger was muted by the Guild Master.]
All Sullivan could do was sigh. Why did he think it was a good idea to bring this obnoxious bit-ahem woman in again?
Sullivan: You can believe whatever you want, but what I told you is true. I could kick you out if you don't want to stay in this chat group.
[The Guild Master unmuted Hermione Granger.]
Hermione:..
Sullivan: You have the option of staying or leaving.
