章 1: My New World, My F'd Up World
"Where am I?"
As I sat up from the bed that I was lying on I found myself in an unfamiliar-looking room.
It was a grand room likely found in luxury hotels or suites. As I observed my surroundings I noticed a huge mirror and reflected on it was a person I had never seen before.
A young man around the age of 15 maybe 16 looks young but his height makes him look older, with red hair that flows like flames, and fierce golden eyes that seem to glow in this dark room. A height of around 6"2 with a lean body with compact muscles could put any athlete to shame.

"Who is this?, why am I seeing this reflection?, this is not who I am!"
I was a below-average height with no redeeming features as I was bullied for my looks and height, and anime, manga, and some novels were my only escape in such a horrifying life. Well, games too but they piss me off sometimes when I play PvP genres.
They give me comfort, teach me lessons, and put a smile on my face even in the darkest of times.
This is not me, a handsome and complete opposite of who I was.
"URGHHH!!!"
As I was thinking of the complete difference of the body and the previous me a sudden pain inflicted my head.
'It hurts, Fu**!'. My head hurts so bad as if it was being split into two, my breathing is erratic, my forehead is sweating and my body feels hot like I was burning up from the inside out.
This agonizing pain continued for a while. During this painful process, a scene is being played as if my memories are being merged with the life of a completely different person.
A child loved by both parents. They both started as a couple from a contract for the benefit of both their respective families' businesses however that changed the moment the child was born. he was loved not just by his parents but also by his grandparents from both maternal and paternal sides.
Mikoto Akaou was a smart and kind child that loved his parents very much, that was until he started growing up and the time they could spend with him lessened and lessened as they were thrown responsibilities they had to take for their companies as they started to take over as there parents stepped down.
Due to this he started living alone and stayed in an apartment managed by his family and lived there when he began Middle school.
This lack of attention as he grew older made him lonely resulting in delinquency, his thought process was that if they saw him straying from his path then maybe he would be able to gain more time from them to visit him and consult him of his choices. It was childish, yes, but he thought that maybe a childish way of thinking was better to get their attention than his normal self who was more mature than his age.
That did work a little and he was told by them that they would still love him whatever choices he makes in life. They did start to visit more often and call him whenever they were free so I guess it kind of went well for him.
He was a good fighter and the best of them all. Due to this he was feared and called the No-Mane a prideless lion because he is not part of any gangs. Many have tried to recruit him and many failed at the same time.
This made him realize he was good at combat so he continued on this path even though things were starting to work out with his parents.
It took a while to assimilate all the memories that were merged into my own but I think I have already a general idea of what is happening right now.
"Transmigration, to think that I died because of those idiots. In this new life, I hope to change myself this time in this opportunity that was given to me, no more holding back time to live my own life the way I want"
"You took your last breath without being able to see your parents together one last time or say goodbye to them. Don't worry I'll be sure to live for the both of us"
The cause of death of this body was not known, all I can remember from the assimilated memories is that he was lying on the bed until his breathing and heartbeat weakened until he drew his last breath.
As I was recalling memories of this body a sudden blue light appeared in front of me with floating text in a transparent-like hologram screen that reads.
=====***=====***=====***=====
Greetings Transmigrator as you are reading this message that I left you then I can pretty much guess that the assimilation has been a success.
BTW it is I, god, well the God of safe passage to be exact, I help souls to safely transverse the sea of tormented souls and into the reincarnation cycle.
Long story short I made a mistake Teehee? :P
I kind of took your soul by mistake when I was doing my job so... I just took your soul and transmigrate you into an untimely death in this new world.
BUT! Do not worry for the great me gave you some gifts for your very own benefits fufufufu. These are...
Enhanced Learning ability
Enhanced Adaptability
Enhanced Recovery
???
???
???
Amazing right?, but I'll keep the remaining three as a secret for now until you will need them. I would have liked to improve your body as well but *Whistle* your body was gods work itself, a body perfect for any martial art to train.
I'll give you a 'Status Panel' as well with some 'Notifications' in order for you to keep tabs on your progress those 'Notifications' may also have some gifts to help you further when you need it, so just think of it and the panel for your status should just pop up.
I hope this makes up for my mistake so good luck in this new world filled with your wildest dreams.
--From yours truly the most awesome god :3
CIAO!!!
=====***=====***=====***=====
I couldn't help as my eyes twitched from the absurd reason why I was here now.
'So I would have been able to survive that, but died instead because of this so-called awesome god'
Feeling helpless about the outcome I concentrated on accessing my 'Status Panel'.
As I was concentrating on a panel to appear in front of me, I thought of the words 'Status'. After saying those words a blue hologram panel appeared.
[Open Status

"These Numbers are they good?"
To answer this question another screen popped out all of a sudden which startled me.
After getting over the sudden surprise, I read the following text from the popped-up blue panel.
[An average adult stat value is about the range of 4-5, for martial artists values differ from
Beginner: 6-8
Intermediate: 9-11
Master: 12-14
number value varies depending on training and mastery that has been dedicated to a specific stat as well the tempering of the body in order to adapt to the martial art trained]
"So my stats are way above the average, the former owner of this body was a damn monster if he has this kind of stats if all he did was laze around"
Based on the memories from the original owner he was a lazy bum who always skipped classes and went to a park to sleep all day or eat sweats at some candy store to pass the time.
"All those but has the stats of a prodigy fighter, a fit body, and a handsome face"
Even my charm stat is above average, that should be something.
"Panel what are the things that you can tell me?"
[All information I can provide is about the status updates of your stats as well as when the 'Notification' alarms]
"What is the notification?"
...
Looks like it won't tell me anything about what this 'Notification' is so I won't pay it any mind for now.
Looking around the room I see the big glass wall overlooking the city lights.
'So I should be at an apartment, an expensive one at that. Allowance is given to me at every start of the month so money is of no issue, in fact, I'm damn rich since I can't spend all that I was given it just stockpiles in my savings'
"And my parents would just give me more if I just asked"
It's late I should rest for now.
After mulling over all the theses things that had happened I returned to bed, took a night's rest, and handle all this new stuff for tomorrow.
===The next day===
After waking up from my sleep I realized that it was already around the afternoon after waking up.
'Does this body have a stupid body clock or something? he sleeps almost all the time and I still woke up this late'
[As your soul was assimilated into the body as well the merging of the memories caused a strain in the body and a fatigue that would have resulted in weeks of bedrest, however as the body is of the highest quality as well your enhanced recovery a half a days rest is all that was needed to return the body into top condition]
'So those skills are already starting to take effect'
Enhanced recovery, as stated helps my body to recover from any kinds of injuries as well as sickness that I may get, I can somehow survive a serious wound for a lot longer but proper medication will still be needed.
Enhanced learning, allows me to learn and understand anything that I have seen and thought to me at a faster rate, being able to apply it faster and with more accuracy exceeding perfection.
Enhanced adaptation, I can adapt into any situation better being able to use anything in my arsenal to solve a conflict I may find myself in. What's special about this one is that it may cause evolution to any form of martial art that I practice in the future in order to adapt better so it would fit me better.
The three mystery skills, the god of safe passage gave me said that they would be unlocked when I need them, so maybe like a protagonist in a struggle for his life it would unlock all of a sudden in my time of need.
"I sure have become delusional after the transmigration, thinking of myself as some sort of protagonist"
"After a nights rest I was able to see more of the memories of the original owner, and I can't believe what I recalled"
This World had characters from anime I had watched, not limited to that some were also manga and even some R-18 content ones.
"This sure is some F****d up world I was transmigrated into"
After coming into terms with my situation I prepare to leave and take a walk to school.
Well its already after school hours so its not really going to school per say.
'Well let's take a stroll'
Walking a few distance on the path that leads to school I was able to appreciate the beautiful scenery that japan has to offer.
During my walk a lot of girls were at a daze as I walk pass them. There were blushes in there faces while staring at me, some even tried to start a conversation with me but I declined them with just a wave of my hand showing that I was not interested in talking to them.
After walking and doing some window shopping in stalls that I pass through I suddenly hear a person call out to me.
"Ah! Akaou-kun"
"Hmm?"
Turning around I see a young girl in a school uniform with a Burnt coral hair and eyes with height of around 5"0 flat. Tachibana Hinata the female lead of Tokyo Revengers.
{Image}
'She's so cute in person, GSP (god of safe passage) I thank you for this opportunity, I shall lessen my ire when I think of your mistake'
After giving gratitude to GSP I recompose myself and greeted Hinata back.
"Hinata" I spoke as I turn to her her, noticing the heavy books she was carrying I tried to make a joke to lessen my nervousness "You sure are strong carrying all those books, you using them as weights to gain some muscles for those skinny arms?"
"Wha- No!- This are reference books from the lessons today. Enough about me, you skipped school again"
With an angry tone as she made a stand, not being happy with my constant skipping of class.
Yes, Hinata and I are classmates and you can kind of say we are some what close as she was the only normal classmate that talks to me on the rare cases of me actually attending class.
The teachers at school doesn't really complain in what I do in the class, other than the bad rumors surrounding me it's also because I ace all the exams that they give me.
That's right the original owner was also smart, though his only non redeeming feature was that he was too lazy.
Appreciating the conversations that they always have, because she treated her as any normal person would, the original gave her a pin badge with a logo of a red lion in it, it was a symbol that many delinquents are very familiar with, so no one tries to mess with those with that mark.
"Don't nag Hinata, I was sleeping just a while ago I was really tired yesterday so I couldn't wake up early if I wanted to"
"Hmmm, you sure you weren't just lazy again, you know like usual?"
Saying those words she gave me some accusing stares that could burn a hole to somebody.
"Come on" not wanting to see more of those doubting eyes I held out my hand and offered to carry the books "your on your way home right? I have nothing better to do so let me take you"
"Hmph!" with still some annoyance she did not decline my offer.
As we were walking together we made some small talks, knowing that I was a Delinquent she did not want to go into that topic, but she did want to encourage me to come to class more and stop sleeping around in parks.
"Akaou-kun will you be skipping class again tomorrow?, well what would I expect from you. You'll probably just go to some park and sleep again, right?"
"No I'll probably be attending class more often from now on, well that is if nothing unexpected happens"
"Just as I thought you wi..., WHAT!! Really? you'll attend more from now on? that's good you should study more from now on"
With a proud look on her face and a little happy of what I told her, she starts to giggle and skip a few times during our way to her home.
"So? how's it going with your boyfriend?"
Almost tripping from the sudden question that I gave her, she turned to look at me with a shocked expression.
"Boyfriend? who? me? I don't have one you know, what are you talking about"
As she answered me in a flustered tone I look at her as I tilted my head not understanding her not having one.
"Really? I thought you were a thing with a guy named take- something. Even someone like me who rarely goes to school have heard of the rumors you know"
Pretending not to remember the name as the original was known to not remember names of those who matters so little to him.
"Ohh~~ those rumors, well the student body just started to spread that because I interact with him form quite a lot even though he is a delinquent for some time now. I consider us as friends since he was one of the guys that helped me on 6th grade. But I don't get it I talk to you a lot and no such rumor is spreading" she asked in confusion as she is friends with both delinquents but only with Takemichi were rumors was spreading.
"They probably did not want to piss me off" I answered as I mull over the words that she spoke.
'they aren't a thing, yet maybe? It's the year 2005 now so maybe he hasn't asked her yet and the start of the canon is still just about to begin or maybe it's my presence in her life is what's diverted the flow of the story'
This world should be a combination of many different stories so a change from their original canon events will likely be less accurate so I should probably not be too dependent on the knowledge I have from the original sources.
Whatever it is, I'll just go with the flow of the story for now.
Lost in my thoughts we were able to reach her home without me noticing, as we said our goodbyes for now she reminded me to not forget to attend school tomorrow.
Going back in my stroll, I plan to go at some parks around here for now.
As I was walking with my thoughts about this world a panel appeared before me.
[Takemichi Hanagaki has his First Time Leap Occurred]
After reading the text I came into a conclusion, 'So this is the 'Notification' since I lived on this world filled with references from my Otaku days it's likely that the 'Notice Panel' will tell me if an event is transpiring or is beginning. Taking note of this I continue on my walk to the park to know the area much better while keeping an eye out for Takemichi.
