Traveling Between Worlds: Stealing Powers From Fictional Realms

One late night after working overtime, urban youth Lin Chen unexpectedly awakens the Myriad Worlds Works Traversal System. It can pinpoint works with the highest reach around the globe: viral web novels, blockbuster films, hit anime, and beloved classics. Any work familiar to a large enough audience can become a destination for his soul transmigration.

Each time he transmigrates, the System assigns an unconventional mission tailored to that world's setting: use modern combat techniques to dismantle every miraculous martial art in a wuxia world, bring down a mech army in a sci-fi film with primitive melee weapons, or win over the crowd in a school drama by turning social anxiety into an underdog triumph. Completing missions earns him abilities unique to each world, such as internal energy in a wuxia world, control of mechs in a sci-fi world, or an affinity for the elements in a magical world. Better yet, he can permanently retain these abilities when he returns to reality.

From taking down villains in the web novel Urban Immortal Cultivation with his "rant until they lose it" skill, to seizing interstellar travel technology in the film world of StarCraft, Lin Chen's real life changes dramatically too: he uses wuxia internal energy to stop muggings, founds a tech company with a sci-fi world's data-analysis skills, and saves his loved ones with healing magic from a fantasy world.
