Are you really in charge of your life?
Is everything that has ever happened to you beyond your control?
What if your entire existence can simply be boiled down to your genes: small stretches of DNA that code for your cell's proteins.
Your genes can totally determine your sex life.
Whether you're the ugly bastard, the alpha, or your average nobody that barely makes an impression, it all simply is a matter of the combination of your genes.
Hell, maybe your personality is also completely dependent on genes. It's just how your hormones interact with your brain receptors and control you.
So, what the hell am I trying to say here….? Is there a meaning to this?
All in all, I'm trying to say that it's not my fault I'm a degenerate.
It's simply how my genes are…
"Ahh…!"
A moan escaped by mouth as my eyes stayed visually glued to my computer screen.
In the screen, there was a young, sexy brunette who seemed to be stuck in the washing machine…
'How the fuck does that even happen?' The thought flashed past my mind, before I quickly dismissed it.
In time, the hot brunette reached out for her 'step-bro' that pulled a tool out his pants to help her out of her predicament.
Understanding the set-up of this debauchery, I nodded in satisfaction and decided to get my dopamine fix from it.
I began shifting my body vigorously to get into a comfortable position.
In doing so, however, I mistakenly knocked over a metallic locket that was placed on my table.
It was a locket that was stored in my family storehouse for years, before I decided to pack it as a 'lucky charm.'
It was an old locket, a bit of rust developing on the outside, but with a stylish fiery pattern on it.
There also seemed to be an arcane word engraved on top of the locket, which I had failed to translate after putting the bare minimum effort.
Soon I hurriedly reached out to the locket to place it back.
I didn't want to miss the first few minutes of the video. While most people liked skipping to the meat of the video, I enjoyed the 'plot' and foreplay at the start.
Prick…!
Unluckily, while reaching out for the locket, a sharp edge pricked my finger and caused it to bleed.
A few blood drops fell into the surface of the locket and the floor.
'Damn it…! When was the last time I had my tetanus shot?!' My lips pressed downwards into a scowl as I pondered.
With no other choice but to stop my pleasure, I got up from my chair to search for some bandages.
Unknowing to me, the blood droplets were slowly being absorbed by the locket.
The rust was slowly fading away, and the locket began to glow brighter and brighter with a blue luster.
By the time I gazed back, a bright light had blinded my entire vision.
My consciousness then sunk into darkness…
**
In a secluded hallway, inside a large school building, a few young teenagers in school uniforms had surrounded a particular boy.
These teenagers, around 15-16-year old's, had sadistic grins as they gazed at this boy.
The boy's school uniform was tattered beyond recognition and blood stains were all over it.
"Haha, Soren! What trash you are! You're already tired after playing with us a little!" One of the students said, while another cracked his knuckles and added, "Beating this ability-less bastard always helps me vent my frustration!"
Thud…!
Just then, a kick was delivered to the boy's, Soren's, pelvis.
A stream of blood escaped Soren's mouth. Few of his bones seemed to have been fractured and internal bleeding was occurring everywhere.
"We're going to graduate in two months guys! I'm going to miss having fun with this loser!"
"Let's make some long-lasting memories then!"
The grins of the surrounding students became wider, and they kept throwing more punches and kicks at Soren to vent.
One pretty-looking girl with spectacles and stern face passed by the hallway and trembled at the sight.
She was actually the school president and was deciding on whether to interfere with this messy situation.
Right then, however, she took a glance at Soren's face and realized that it was just an ability-less student with a poor background.
She heaved a sigh of relief and continued forth her previous path.
Other students would occasionally pass by the hallway and witness the bullying.
Even though Soren looked to be barely clinging onto his life, no one bothered to help.
At best, they'd remain indifferent. But some of them would just chuckle at his misfortune. "The idiot definitely deserves it…" Some said, while others shook their heads and commented, "If I was him, I would have suicided long ago.... What a retard…!"
Finally, the group took pity on Soren… or more like just got bored and decided to end the fun.
A boy's hand began to transform slowly and developed a scaly texture. His hardening ability was handy but nothing too special, as it was only an E- rank ability.
Yet something like this still held nightmarish power against a mortal like Soren.
Pow…!
Soon a hardened fist crashed into Soren's temple, knocking him close to unconsciousness in one go.
Rumble…!
At the very same time the punch was delivered, a lightning strike had descended and hit the roof of the school building. A few who witnessed it were surprised, since the day was still sunny.
Soren's eyes closed slowly as a myriad of regrets were flashing past his mind.
Soren regretted being born in the circumstances he did… He was beaten up on the daily without mercy. He thought of every injustice that had happened to him…
The next time Soren's eyes opened; however, a miraculous turn of events had already occurred.
Soren's eyes opened with some renewed vigor as he gazed around his surroundings carefully.
"Where the hell am I?!"
Soren blurted out; his tone of voice quite distinct from before.
Arggh…! A headache took over Soren's body as memories flooded into the new soul's mind.
In due time, clarity once again returned to Soren's eyes. The new Soren slowly realized that the arcane light which enveloped him earlier was not a hallucination.
'Ah, I see what this is… Have I really died and transmigrated…?'
A strange expression formed on Soren's face.
Even though he had his own conjectures about what had happening to him, his mind was still in a huge turmoil.
After some time, his beating heart calmed down, and he headed to the infirmary.
'An alternate dimension Earth huh? Let's take a look at this new world!' Soren thought, his body trembling with a mixture of nervousness and excitement.
