Sandstorm, a sky-full of sand.
The gale swept up the most common inhabitants of this dry, yellow land. The dry dust, like knives, was carried by the wind, cutting into the body.
The moment Shin stepped through the portal, his mouth was instantly filled with sand. He coughed a few times and immediately pulled up his collar to cover his mouth and nose.
He seemed to be in a desert, but in the distance, he saw buildings in the sand. He seemed to be in... the Middle East?
In the sandstorm, Shin found it difficult to breathe. He looked around and finally found a large black rock, crouching in its shadow.
"You have successfully reached your initial interview location," the gentle female voice echoed in his mind.
"This is Parallel Universe 0013. For a long time, this will be your primary workplace. In this universe, many things are subtly different. For example, the names of countries, or the names of many things. The most obvious difference is that the entertainment works of this world are almost completely different from your world."
"This difference doesn't mean they are completely opposite. For example, in your world, the first Gundam 0079 created the UC universe. In this world, although there is Gundam, the protagonist is not Amuro Ray, nor is there Char Aznable, and the appearance of the Gundam is also very different..."
"Simply put, the world you've arrived in has Gundam, WOW, Warhammer, and Type-Moon, but they only have similar but different elements. Whenever we need something to exist, the original thing will become something similar but not quite the same."
"...You aren't going to make me a plagiarism artist, are you?" Shin's expression was strange. It wasn't that he despised the idea of copying works from his original world in a parallel one, but he felt it was too ridiculous to go through so much trouble to bring him to this desolate place just to do that.
"Please select your interview item. Different selections will determine your interview location. The current location defaults to the third option."
The system did not answer, but instead displayed a pale blue screen in front of Shin, divided into three Chapters:
1 Product Name: Planet Killer
Product Description: A weapon-class product from the Warhammer 40K universe. This is a battleship forged in the Eye of Terror, a domain in the Warp, and mixed with demonic technology. Its original owner is the Chosen of Chaos, Abaddon the Despoiler, leader of the Black Legion Chaos Space Marines.
It is a destroyer equipped with a super energy cannon called the 'Doomsday Cannon.' Firing a massive amount of Warp energy, it can instantly penetrate a planet. In addition to this cannon, it is equipped with countless demonic weapons and Void Shield generators.
AllAside from relatively slow speeds and the inability to travel through the Warp in a universe without it, this product is highly recommended in its product category.
Note: Considering the high difficulty of single-person operability for this product, selecting this option will automatically supplement all crew members except the Warmaster.

2 Product Name: Death Star
Product Description: A weapon-class
product from the Star Wars universe. This is the ultimate weapon built by the Galactic Empire. This space station is 160 kilometers in diameter. 123 hyperdrive field generators form a single navigation matrix, allowing the Death Star to easily traverse the galaxy in hyperspace.
Its multifaceted magnifying crystal combines the destructive power of eight separate laser beams into an energy beam comparable in intensity to a star. Its surface is scattered with thousands of weapon turrets, turbo laser cannon arrays, and traction beams.
The Death Star has a total of 342,953 Navy and Army personnel, 25,984 Imperial Stormtroopers, plus about 2 million other troops. The technological application limitations are minimal, making it an excellent choice whether for your picnic RV or as a planet-destroying companion. It is the most recommended product sequence in this category.
Note: Considering that this product is almost impossible to operate by a single person, selecting this option will provide a complete AI group service for free to control the product for you.

Shin's throat painfully bobbed. The first two items didn't look "simple" at all. Why would a system provide a novice writer with planet-destroying weapons?
The first two options were very powerful, but... they were filled with malicious traps!
Considering what the system said about different choices leading to different interview locations, then...
The first one was definitely a pass. Anyone who knows a little about Warhammer knows what happens when you choose a ship full of Chaos Space Marines and demonic engines and weapons.
Choosing the second one would also lead to disaster. Different choices mean different interview tasks—so if he chose the first, he might have to do what the Warmaster once did. If he chose the Death Star, he might wake up and find a Jedi standing in front of him...
Although the planet-destroying weapons looked powerful, he had to choose the safest one.
He strongly resisted the temptation within and finally pressed the third screen.
3 Product Name: ASW-G-08 Gundam
Barbatos Lupus Rex
Product Description: A weapon-class product from the Gundam universe. This is a humanoid single-man weapon built by Gjallarhorn. Its original owner is Mikazuki Augus, and it is the eighth product in the same series of Gundams. Equipped with a Ahab reactor and a Gundam Frame, Nano-Laminate Armor, and Anti-Beam Coating. This product's default model is the Lupus Rex form, which means it is equipped with the Alaya-Vijnana System and all weapons options are unlocked.
This product has weak technological application limitations, low applicability, and is not recommended in the single-man weapon sequence of the same product line.

As the screen was clicked, the three screens shattered in front of Shin. The pleasant female voice rang in his mind.
"Linking product channels for you...
Welcome to Mysterious Items Co., Ltd. We wish you a wonderful experience."
Accompanying the opening of a deep red vortex, a massive, eighteen-meter-high steel giant, covered in all sorts of dangerous weapons, knelt before Shin. Its angular steel head was silent and fierce.
This had nothing to do with being a plagiarism artist, and it was definitely much more dangerous than copying someone else's work.
"What exactly am I supposed to do with this?" Shin asked with difficulty.
"Your interview task has been issued, Mr. Shin."
"Your task is to review this product and upload the complete review video to a video website."
"Interview topic: Please bring peace to this land and end a war between pirates and the navy."
