In truth, whenever Dan occasionally remembered all those countless stories and novels where protagonists were transported into fantasy worlds and constantly needed strange things like a System or some ridiculous cheat ability or an old grandfather inside a ring, the entire concept honestly felt somewhat foolish to him sometimes even absurd because from Dan's perspective, the situation was actually very simple.
If an ordinary human from modern Earth someone raised inside an advanced civilization and educated from childhood under a structured scientific mindset were suddenly transported into a fantasy world with its own power system then they absolutely did not need some miraculous cheat ability nor did they need to be some once in a generation genius and they certainly did not need luck to obtain power or immortality. No miracles or gifts or absurd destiny.
What they truly needed was something much simpler. They needed to stop blindly accepting the power systems of that world as absolute truths and they needed to step outside those mental limitations and examine the system critically and carefully and scientifically.
And with enough time, experimentation, and effort a path would eventually appear.
Because when Dan looked at Chakra now that mysterious and incredible force he did not see a single rigid path toward strength and longevity.
He saw countless possibilities and dozens of potential methods even methods completely different from his current Five Vitality Seals.
For example a person could continuously nourish the thymus gland using concentrated Medical Chakra. By doing so, the body would continuously produce massive quantities of powerful T-cells capable of resisting disease and slowing natural aging that alone could easily extend a human lifespan beyond two hundred years and during such an enormous lifespan, if that person focused seriously on structured and continuous training, their strength would naturally rise to unbelievable levels.
At that point, entirely new methods for extending life even further would inevitably become possible.
Or another example someone could continuously nourish the large femur bones with concentrated healing Chakra in order to massively stimulate stem cell production and strong regenerative stem cells.
That method alone could naturally extend lifespan to three hundred years or perhaps even beyond in many ways, it resembled Dan's own First Vitality Seal the Bone Seal though the mechanism and focus differed somewhat.
And it did not stop there a person could directly control internal organs through Chakra in order to enhance their natural functions and improve digestive efficiency. Optimize nutrient distribution across the entire body with precision and nourish the liver to enhance cellular regeneration and toxin removal . Give him longer lifespan and better health.
Or nourish the heart to strengthen the muscle and improve blood circulation. Greater physical capability and faster growth in strength and nourish the skin to slow visible aging and preserve a permanently youthful appearance.
Or strengthen the muscles themselves to drastically increase density and raw power all of these methods were possible logical and achievable.
The only thing truly required was an internal energy source like Chakra and the patience to apply those methods systematically over long periods of time.
That was why, whenever Dan remembered some of the protagonists from the stories and novels he once read back on Earth assuming those worlds had truly existed just like his own experience now he could not help feeling frustrated by how foolish many of them behaved.
A protagonist would enter a fantasy world with a clearly structured power hierarchy and instead of using the scientific and logical perspective they inherited from Earth and instead of thinking outside the box and analyzing the system itself, searching for flaws, loopholes, or alternative paths most of them did the exact opposite.
They blindly chained themselves to the world's existing system and slowly climbed it step by step using traditional methods.
Even if they lacked talent. Even if the system itself was incompatible with them.
Instead of asking simple questions like:
"Why should I follow this system at all?"
"Why not search for a completely different path?"
"Why not use my knowledge from Earth to create something entirely new?"
And to Dan that was pure stupidity because the true advantage was never the cheat itself. Not the magical system or the mysterious old man inside a ring and not the hidden treasure.
The real advantage was always the scientific mindset and logical thinking. Methodical analysis. The ability to look at problems from completely different angles.
And above all the accumulated knowledge produced by thousands upon thousands of years of human civilization on Earth that was the true cheat.
And the funniest part almost every ordinary person from modern Earth already possessed at least the foundations of that way of thinking.
It did not require monstrous genius or require impossible luck it only required proper use.
Any fantasy world no matter how strange its power system appeared could ultimately be analyzed scientifically.
There was no need for miracles yet most protagonists in those stories received some absurd cheat system, an ancient treasure, or an overpowered mentor and then relied entirely upon them.
To Dan, that was a complete waste of opportunity because the human mind shaped by modern Earth's scientific methodology and logical thinking was already the greatest weapon imaginable in any fantasy world.
Stronger than any system and stronger than any treasure or talent itself. It simply needed to be used correctly.
And that was exactly what Dan himself had done he never chained himself to traditional training methods or accepted Chakra merely as some mystical force beyond understanding.
He analyzed it. Experimented constantly and questioned every aspect of it, even the parts everyone else considered obvious and unquestionable.
And the result? Overwhelming strength and extremely long lifespan. All achieved without a cheat system without some ancient grandfather in a ring or miracles.
"Ah… I got lost in my thoughts again."
Dan turned slightly with an amused smile, lightly scolding himself. Then he muttered quietly,
"I should stop overthinking and return to actual work."
And the next instant—
Fwoooooosh!
His figure vanished instantly at incredible speed returning directly to his private laboratory where countless experiments still waited for him.
