Chapter 1. Its really a shame
Rob fidgeted a little as he sat outside the interview room. His mind was whirling with a multitude of thoughts as he struggled to concentrate on anything particular.
It had been two weeks since he became the owner of this body. His previous life’s memories and the memories of this body took a while to assimilate with each other. It took him around a week to both reconcile with the fact that he was dead and accept that he had been transmigrated into his current body.
It wasn’t easy as they made out in the novels he had read previously. The mere fact that you died was a huge bummer to get over. After all, it isn’t as if you die every day. That was truly once in a lifetime event. And no comparisons could be made in regards to that.
To boot it, there was another insane phenomenon of transmigration to deal with.
Oh boy!!! Wasn’t that woozy to deal with? Even thinking about those things made his hair stand up.
Philosophical questions like whether God was real or not, who was responsible for his body switch, what happened to the previous owner of this body, was he really dead, why was he brought here, and many more battered his mind like a broken tape-recorder.
That was when he realized that those lucky bums who were gifted some system of sorts really had good fortune. They didn’t need to agonize over their future, for it was already pre-ordained and they have to just complete the missions provided by the system. If such a thing had accompanied him, he wouldn’t have wasted an entire week to get his bearings back. That would have been truly magical.
Speaking of magical, those bastards who were transmigrated into those fantastical realms where cultivation was the norm were lucky too. Who wouldn’t want to split mountains with a swing of a sword? Who wouldn’t like to rescue beauties and faceslap idiots like there was no tomorrow? Flying on a sword, learning martial arts, and even cultivating to be an immortal, who wouldn’t want such a chance?
Being transmigrated into such a world would be ideal too. While living there would be perilous, it would have been a damn interesting life for sure. Just the thought of exploring hidden realms was enough to pump one’s blood up. If he had been relocated to such a realm he would have gladly forgotten about such tiring questions in a heartbeat and would have embraced this whole thing more easily.
But if those kinds of things were too hard to actualize, he would have been glad to be relocated to another body in an early time on earth itself. But no, those kinds of things only happened in novels. Real life was actually much shittier than those fantastic tales he spent his time reading over in his previous life.
Just imagine, if he was born in an early timeline in the earth, he would have started on the road to being a millionaire already. He would know all the future events and would have acted accordingly to get the most beneficial standing for him as per his memories.
Damn it! That would have made fucking sense!!!
