A pure white light filled his vision.

  Alex stood in the ter of the ptform, feeling no disfort. However, this didn't reassure him, because he knew from the memories he ied that this world's power level was very high.

  He had read online novels where "rule-based" powers were ultimate ons mastered only by top experts. But in this world, people had even learo use certain "rule-based" powers as ons and tools!

  This ptform's magic array, for example, utilized the rule-based powers of "Order" and "Purification," which were most hated by cultists.

  Such powers were irresistible to cultists because they were fual ws of this world. To oppose them was to oppose the entire world.

  Alex's was what effect this pht have on him.

  He wasn't a cultist and had no i in the chaotic beliefs stored in this body's mind.

  However, Alex wasn't sure if his transmigration would cause any disturban this world's order.

  It's like antivirus software—if it's just "virus removal," it's simple: find the "virus" that harmed the system and elimi.

  But sometimes the firewall alerts you that "unknown software is trying to modify system settings."

  "Ding."

  Good news never es easy. Just as Alex had this thought, a clear system notification sounded in his ear, and a line of text appeared before him.

  [Order Parallel Port Detected]

  [Activating Port "Order"]

  'What the heck, wait a miell me what this is first!'

  Alex was stunned by the vague message. Before he could figure it out, the line of text vanished with a "whoosh," and he suddenly felt the pure white light around him begin to tremble.

  "What is this…?!"

  The elderly priest looked up in surprise at the ptform. Before him, the pure white beam of light grew even brighter.

  Furthermore, the ic array carved below the ptform began to glow with golden light. These lines of light silently appeared around the white beam, transf into sacred runes.

  "This is… Rule Resonance!!"

  "Whoosh—"

  The white beam of light vanished instantly, leaving Alex standing alone oform. Everything seemed like an illusion.

  If not for the sudden system prompt, Alex wouldn't have thought anything was amiss. But now… Seeing the old priest's shocked expression, Alex didn't feel aer.

  Aren't cheat abilities supposed to be for the protagonist's advantage? Why does this system keep causirouble?

  "Is there a problem?"

  Cursing the system internally for causing him trouble, Alex feigned curiosity and looked at the old priest. The priest shivered at his question, then stared at him in astonishment.

  "By grace of Order, I never expected you ter Rule Resonance!"

  "Rule Resonance?"

  Hearing this term, Alex was baffled, having no idea what it meant. But judging by the priest's expression, it didn't seem to be a bad thing.

  "Yes, sir, please follow me…"

  The priest's attitude had beuch more respectful, now addressing Alex as "sir" instead of "child." Leading Alex inside, he expined Rule Resohrough the expnation, Alex uood what it meant.

  In simple terms, Rule Resonance wasn't about being a savior or a legendary hero. Instead, it was a sign that the person whered it wasn't rejected by Order but weled by it. It indicated that Order weled his presend believed Alex would be its principles.

  It's like drawing a "Good" fortune slip—not as great as "Excellent," but certainly better than "Bad."

  "I remember the st person whered Rule Resonance was a brave warrior who helped us elimihe nea the Bck Tower… It was a tough battle…"

  The old priest excitedly reted his past as they walked. Hearing this, Alex rexed a bit. Although he didn't fully uand Rule Reso seemed to be beneficial… probably.

  "… I uand your iion. Normally, it would be difficult to find a mentor for you. But thank goodness, Grand Knight Stone is here, and I'm sure he'll be ied in a didate whered Rule Resonance!"

  What the heck!!

  Alex's face turned pale at the priest's words. A Grand Knight was a rank above a knight, representing high-level bat prowess in this world.

  Alex had just po joiemple as an ordinary apprentiight and take on some basic tasks. But now, it seemed they inteo assign him a mentor?

  And a Grand Knight, no less?

  Alex couldn't guarahat the higher-ups knew about his existence. What if they reized the identity of his current body and drew their swords on him the moment they met?

  He inally po take the low-key route! But now, it seemed that his pn had to ge again.

  At this moment, the old priest led Alex to a training ground on the side of the temple. The area was empty, except for a tall figure wielding a long sword in training.

  It was a middle-aged man with golden hair and a strong, Western physique, standing at two meters tall.

  He was shirtless, vigorously swinging a two-handed greatsword. The sword was as wide as two palms and taller than a perso moved with the man's swings as lightly as a willow branch.

  Alex could barely follow the sword's trajectory. After a while, the blond man suddenly stopped and stepped back.

  At that moment, a powerful burst of sword energy exploded, shattering the surrounding wooden stakes into pieces.

  'Is this the power of a Grand Knight?!'

  Seeing this, Alex was deeply moved. Such immerength was truly overwhelming!

  "Hey, Huck, what are you doing here?"

  The man turned and looked at the old priest beside Alex, grinning proudly.

  "What, are you here to spar with me?"

  "Not me, I'm too old to handle your iy, Stone."

  The priest rolled his eyes at Stone's words and theured to Alex.

  "I'm here to introduce him to you."

  "A noble pretty boy?"

  Stone g Alex dismissively.

  "Why bring him to me? He's not some noble dy."

  "He wants to joiemple as an apprentice guardian knight."

  "'t you hahat? You're the expert at dealing with useless noble brats."

  Stone clearly had no i in Alex, which wasn't surprising. Alex's body was not particurly strong, even b on frail.

  To Stone, he seemed like another pampered noble, someoypically despised.

  However, the old priest was unfazed by Stone's remarks. He simply smiled and offered a hint.

  "He just triggered Rule Resonance."

  "Oh?"

  Hearing this, Stone finally stopped, squinting as he took a closer look at Alex.

  "Kid, you want to bee an apprentice guardian knight?"

  "Yes."

  Fag Stone's question, Alex nodded. Having e this far, there was n back. Stone's face twisted into a mog smile.

  "If you want to bee an apprentice guardian knight, you should know that everyone must pass an assessment, right?"

  "Of course."

  "Good."

  Stoood oraining ground, swinging his greatswain, and looked at Alex with a half-smile.

  "Then e on. You're lucky—I'll personally oversee your assessment. How does that feel? Honored?"

  "Uh…"

  Staring at the muscur man in front of him, Alex was momentarily speechless. The old priest frowned.

  "Stone, don't go too far."

  "It's no big deal, old man."

  Stone waved off the priest's pint.

  "You said he triggered Rule Resonance, right? I want to see what this weakling do to cause such a phenomenon!"

  Indeed, being treated differently es with a price.

  Sighing inwardly at Stone's words, Alex thought for a moment, then walked doweps onto the training ground. Seeing this, both the priest and Stoaken aback. The priest looked worried, while Stone whistled.

  "Well, kid, you've got some guts. Are you ready? Show me your full strength, let's see your limits."

  "Of course, Sir Stone."

  Alex slowly drew his sword, Decapitator, from his waist. Giveuation, his pns had to ge. If he couldn't take the low-key route, he would showcase his strength and take the high road. With "Rule Resonance" as his adva would be acceptable for him to exhibit some extraordinary abilities as the chosen one.

  Moreover, Alex wao experiehe power of a true warrior in this world.

  "Please guide me."

  He whispered as he looked at Stohen suddenly vanished. His sword fshed like lightning, thrusting forward!
