Transincarnation
Shen Yuan wakes up incredibly disoriented. He feels like he has just woken up from a very long dream, but worse. He is dizzy, his ears are ringing, and he doesn't know where his limbs are.
Overall he feels like shit.
Still, he tries to orient himself.
His memory seems to be intact. He remembers everything about himself and his past. Although he can't quite recall what was the last thing that happened to him. This is… troubling.
He decides not to dwell on it. There are muny important things to be worried about. For example: Where the hell is he?!
Shen Yuan is certain that this is not his room. He wiggles a little trying to find where his body begins and realizes he is… being cradled in someone's arms???
"Are you alright?!" Shen Yuan hears through the ringing in his ears. Yep, that's definitely a person. A person who is holding him in their arms. Great…
“M’ f’ne-“ Shen Yuan slurls and finally opens his eyes.
As soon as he does it, Shen Yuan comes face to face with the single most beautiful man he has ever seen. The man is looking at Shen Yuan with a gentle expression of concern and worry. This man… has a very familiar mark on his forehead.
"Are you Luo Binghe?!" Shen Yuan shouts, his dizziness suddenly gone.
The man—Luo Binghe?—freezes. Shen Yuan freezes too.
What the hell is happening?! Did Shen Yuan somehow transmigrate to Proud Immortal Demon Way?! If so, he is really fucked.
Well, maybe he is mistaken. Maybe this is not Luo Binghe!
"Yes," the man says slowly after a pause, "I am Luo Binghe."
"Do you know where you are?" Luo Binghe asks, interrupting Shen Yuan's descent into panic.
"Erm—" Shen Yuan stares at him for a second. Then he turns to look around. They seem to be in a forest, but he can't for the life of him tell which of the thousand forests described in PIDW it is. “No, I don't.“
Luo Binghe hums. He stares at Shen Yuan with a blank calculating expression. He seems to be thinking very hard about something. He… doesn't seem very murderous. But the intent gaze makes Shen Yuan want to squirm none the less.
"Are you sure?" Luo Binghe asks again. "I'm not talking about the forest. Doesn't this place seem familiar to you?"
Shen Yuan stares at Luo Binghe. There is no way he is talking about this place being a shitty web novel, right?
"You can answer honestly, I won't be angry," Luo Binghe continues when Shen Yuan doesn't speak.
"I'm just saying, there are infinite universes out there. So it's inevitable that there would be a univerce where a book exists describing this world," Luo Binghe shrugs. He speaks casually, as if he were discussing the wheather. Although there is some quality to his speach that makes Shen Yuan think that Luo Binghe heard those exact words from someone else and is now paraphrasing. "So if you just so happen to have came from such a world, you can tell me."
Completely speechless Shen Yuan just nods.
Luo Binghe is not done, though. "Although, you need to understand that as much as there are infinite diffrent universes, there are also infinite variations of the same universe. So there are many things that are different here."
Shen Yuan spends what feels like a minute staring into an empty space, trying to comprehend what he just heard. But he can't do it unless he asks one question.
"How do you know all that?" Shen Yuan asks weakly.
Because it's one thing that transmigration is real and Shen Yuan is inside of PIDW. And it's completely different that Luo Binghe knows about the existence of a multiverse, knows that there is a world where a hack author wrote a book about him, and also knows that he is in the slightly alternative universe!
For a second Luo Binghe just stares at him with his intense gaze. Then he finally speaks.
