Unknown Pov:
Sat up in the bed he was rummaging through his thoughts trying to find an explanation. "Fuck!" He drops back down onto the bed.
He grips the side of his head in frustration. "I shouldn't even bloody be here.
"ARGGG" He hits the mattress trying to vent his anger.
He laid there in silence, trying–and failing–to calm down.
Sigh "If I think about it- This could maybe benefit me right.
Nope not when they sent me to this godforsaken place. I know I joked about the idea but still to take it seriously... I don't even know. He actually fucking Isekai'd me! Couldn't it have at least been something I know of? Not some doomed universe and some bullshit."
The reason he is so frustrated and angry is due to the simple fact that he, 'The Architect of Sigils' would be powerless to do anything in that situation.
Yeah, he thought the title was stupid, but nowadays it's grown on him. He also couldn't think of anything better so there's that reason too. The title itself was derived from his talent and feats in regards to runes. He was the first and only person to ever be able to engrave a rune onto the soul, a concept they still don't fully understand, following this he grew, fell and grew again rising to embody that title and even excede it to near god-like status in regards to fanatics, but that's beside the point.
He 'The Architect' was powerless in the face of a child. A Fucking C-H-I-L-D.
As he pondered deeper and deeper into his thoughts he realised something that had slipped his mind or rather, he didn't even consider. "Who… Even was he?
He felt goosebumps all over his skin knowing that what happened, he didn't even notice anything until now. "Why would I even talk to a child like that. Talking about almost anything, 'anything' being stuff a child wouldn't even have knowledge about, but somehow we ended up on anime at some point and then Isekai. Now here I am."
He groaned "Ugh, If that was anyone else I would've just thrown them out first thought or kill them on the spot for getting past all my barriers and formations to prevent that."
He shivers in place. "But I didn't…
To be able to manipulate my thoughts, instincts, runes and other facets yet I only noticed now. Am I outside of their influence here? Doubt it.
However, what were they? They're not a 3rd or 4th dimensional being as even I in my prime couldn't breach outside my universe let alone send someone to another.
So they must be 5th dimensional or higher. Not something I want to think about right now so I'ma ignore it, not like I could do anything if that's the case anyway." He taps his chin nervously.
He then shook his head "Yep, no point worrying, that'll just make me depressed."
Pushing his existential crisis behind him moved to get out of the bed–
*Snap*
*Crash*
Only for the beds' janky wooden legs to give out and collapse. "Well–that happened. That doesn't help my confidence much now does it."
He moved off the newly collapsed bed to feel the jagged rocks under his feet.
'A rock floor? Really now, it's no longer a matter of where he sent me. I'm more concerned with the when.'
His eyes scanned the room. 'Door, exit. Another door? Closet? Finally, A. mirror? So it's not the stone age at least.'
He stood in front of the mirror staring at his reflection.
His face looked a little younger, less strained. Waist length Jet-Black hair instead of his former pure white hair from before, a dark lightning blue left eye and lighter amber right eye, A face most would consider handsome at the least, a muscular yet agile build, a height of 6 '2 and… no clothes.
"The same as before huh, he looks downward and smirks. No differences there thankfully. Maybe my hair has grown a little and I can't really tell when it's swaying in the wind even though there's no wind and I'm inside, but it's fine. I'm used to it"
He looked back up into his reflections eyes and spoke tiredly–
"Thorald Arawnsson, what have you gotten yourself into this time." He mumbles under his breath now grasping his situation. He thought back to his parents, his brother and sisters. "We will meet again if I ascend. If not, so be it. It's not like me being there could be better at protecting you right." A smile slipped onto his face.
He Turned around he scanned the room–raised his hand a spoke " Iᛇᚼ, ᚾᚨ (Seal Space + Hidden)" the space around him briefly stuttered and then seemed to freeze.
"Ok now that I've do-"
*Crack*
*Crack*
before he could finish space jittered and begun to crack until-
*Shatter*
-the sealed space shattered before his very eyes.
"Huh, what the fuck?!" He questioned, disbelief marring his face. Thor then spoke it again hoping the first time was just a fluke.
*Shatter*
The same result. Much faster this time however leaving barely any trace that anything occurred.
"Are space laws stronger here? Unless I've gotten magnitudes of times leaves two possibilities with one more terrifying than the other. This planet is soon to ascend to the 5th dimension, meaning they can house a 5th dimensional being if needed.
The other. It already happened. It has already ascended meaning multiple 5th dimensional beings can inhabit this place.
Even Earth as a newly ascended 4th Dimensional plane didn't have a 5th dimensional being.
Sigh "I'm learning so much I wish I didn't need to know, this really helps.
Though–If there is a 5th dimensional being here why haven't they pulled an existence erasure or something similar. They can do that pretty easily from what I know.
Could it be that they are dormant? Maybe even a non conscious entity that's to watch over the realities? That would be best for me as by the time they notice me we'd be equals."
He felt a little better about not being erased from existence by a 5th dimensional entity for a simple Seal space or Crush.
*Cough*
"Ahem… With that out of the way what can I do about maybe getting some clothes. Surely there has to be something here. A tattered robe maybe, at least that's wearable for now."
He opened the door to see a fully intact modern uniform. Modern being the key word here, that means he is in a modern timeline at least. "I can work with that"
He put them on. A black and white Yoke-style colour block T-Shirt with yellow tie and colour. A pair of black underwear, some black trousers, socks, shoes, etc. Everything you would need to wear just to go outside.
Feeling out the trousers, he felt something solid in the right pocket. He pulled it out–A student ID with his picture on it. 'I wasn't just seeing it then. I am younger. Also why a student I had my whole school arc a decade ago why do I need to do it again?' He asked himself
He stood back in front of the mirror after cleaning it up a little, "Not bad, actually, It's been a while, but it doesn't look too shabby I'd say." He porpped the collar up and down seeing which looks best and stuck with it down.
Ready to Thor got to the door and grabbed wallet on a table next to it
In Front of him is what he's familiar with, a mega city, though this one seemed a few years ahead of his world's cities if you count the amount of Civilian VTOLs flying about down there.
He also realised he was on the top of a mountain with at least a 1000 ft drop off it a few meters in front of him. 'That's a long drop–for most'
"Let's explore, shall we."

A/N:
Chapter 1 done yippe. Anyway This story is an AU, Different abilities, some delved in deeper than the original. A lot of character backgrounds will change for sure, so I can have some freedom in writing it. There will be OCs beside the MC, though not anything major.
P.S: Even re-writing this was difficult as it wasn't that good to begin with. Compared to the later chapters I cringed reading it. This should be better than that.
Re-wrote almost 90% of what was there, some bits changed some stayed
Ciao
