Unless you were gifted something akin to a Salted Fish system, or had an extreme sense of Justice, almost all Transversers would have the Lawful Evil alignment based on their actions.

Human souls wandering from planet earth were usually synonymous with one word. Chaos.

There were three different scenarios.

One, If it wasn't an already known world, then the legendary journey to embed their names in history would begin.

Two, If it was, then expect the original timeline to come crashing down at some point.

And three, if it were an online gaming world on any kind.....

'hughh!' one would shiver at the thought.

There was reincarnation, soul crossing, or of course, a mixture of both. One that would give birth to probably the biggest catastrophe any fantasy world will ever experience ..... The players.

Honestly, those were the worst. Vast numbers of idle, crazed human beings with virtual bodies and unkillable souls who did nothing but grind, grind and grind all day long.

On the steam powered riverboat, Luca couldn't help but ponder multiple scenarios.

In their campaign for world domination, the Fire Nation had made greats strides and achieved considerable success.

The Air Nomads were wiped out, southern water tribe disabled, Earth kingdom territory conquered in large acres ..... With their advanced technology, powerful bending ability and large troop numbers second only to the earth kingdom, it was only a matter of time before the whole world fell into Ozai's control.

...... Then something completely incomprehensible happened.

A virtual player army from planet Earth was summoned to fight in the hundred-year war.

Rich, poor, old and young ..... Millions of gaming maniacs with helmets on their heads as they stared at their screens and sat on their chairs ready for the gaming experience of a lifetime.......

[You have received a new quest: The Fire Nation has waged war on the world and are very close to succeeding. Join the ranks of earth kingdom fighters and push back the invasion of the colonists]

[Reward: A random Bending affinity]

'Yep, if that happened, the fire nation were goners'.

Although the chances of such events taking place were infinitely close to zero, Luca still found the possibility hilarious.

But it would be difficult for regular players to beat soldiers, so levelling up was essential.

The poor animals and beasts would bear the brunt of it. Honestly, he sometimes wondered how such a situation would spin off if it actually happened.

This all went to insinuate the troubles a transverser could cause.

'The world would be plunged into chaos'. He thought, resisting the urge to chuckle, remaining completely unaware that his simple actions of escaping from the Fire Nation had already begun causing ripples in the timeline.

The butterfly effect, if you will.

On the steam powered riverboat, Luca stepped away from the steering wheel.

“Stat Panel”.

Although it had been nothing more than a few days, Luca had already made it a habit to check his status every time he went through an event of any kind.

Be it minor or major.

Escaping capture from Zuko's ship three days ago was definitely something noteworthy.
