Chereads / A Nerd Daily Life / Chapter 2 - Beginning (1.2)

Chapter 2 - Beginning (1.2)

Right now, I'm sitting down on the sofa in the living room of my house. After the tutorial the system gave me, now I can think about my situation clearly. First thing first, let me introduce myself. In my previous life, I'm called Michael Lindor, but right now, I'm called Himura Tanaka or Tanaka Himura if we go by the names of countries other than Japan.

Or maybe there is another country that uses family names in front? I don't really know.

Anyway, in this second life, I'm now called Himura Tanaka. A sixteen years old teenager gets ignored by his parents and bullied in school. My parents are businessmen and women. They did not have time to take care of their children. Meaning that Tanaka is carving for his parents' attention.

From a young age, Tanaka tried his hardest to get his parents' attention. Sadly, his parents did not care enough for him and even scolded him to show them his perfect exam result.

Let's say that Tanaka broke after that. He decides that it was no use to earn his parents' attention as the only attention he gets is either sound of disappointment or the screaming of bloody murder.

When Tanaka reaches the age of fifteen, he asks his parents if he can live alone, and to his surprise, his parents give him permission and his own house to live the rest of his life. This gesture is the catalyst that makes Tanaka become a suicidal teenage boy.

His mind begins to think that his parents have decided to abandon him completely. Deep inside his mind, Tanaka wishes that both his parents will persuade him to stay in their home, but no. They decide to throw him away.

Yes, his parents still give him monthly money and take care of his school fee but other than that? They did not give him anything.

Because of this, Tanaka became what people call a NEET. He spends all of his days inside his house, either playing games, watching anime, or watching porn. Because of his nature as a NEET and loner, he gets bullied by others. His NEET nature makes his body undesirable, and his loner nature makes him have a hard time making friends.

With the bully continuing to make his life harder and lonely because he did not have any friends, the desire to die inside Tanaka's head got bigger and bigger. Until one day, yesterday, his bully said something that made Tanaka snap. They talk about how he did not have any parents, and there is no single person to care for him.

After hearing that, Tanaka comes home with what the bully says inside his mind. He did not think about his Aunt, Uncle, and Grandfather, who love him very much and want him to succeed as his mind is filled with the negativity the bully feeds his mind with.

Tanaka decided to kill himself by cutting his wrist with a knife and drinking rat poison on Friday night.

That is when I transmigrated inside his body.

I looked at the clock and saw it was showing 4 AM. I rub my forehead with a headache as I don't know what to do. This world is the same but different at the same time. It is still earth with the same history and whatnot, but this world is different… Things.

For example, B*ng and Go*gle is a tight rival. For some reason, B*ing is really popular in this world. This world has different games, movies, and music. Some of the music in my previous world appeared in this world, but many were not created in this world.

The same with Manga, Anime, and Novels.

There is also the problem of the supernatural side of this world. I don't have any evidence about this one, but there must be a reason why the being that sent me here gives me a system that can increase my power.

Anyway! For now, I don't need to think about something I don't know.

I nod my head. If my theory is right, then an average human has ten in all their stats. However, I don't know about it, and I don't have an observation skill just yet to see other people's stats. Anyway, I look down and see that my body gets a little less fat. Just a little, but it was an improvement.

For now, I need to improve my body. I get up and begin to do a warm-up. For now, it is time to exercise and become fit.

~2 hours later~

You know, I never thought that I would die from doing exercise, but here I feel like I'm about to die from simply running around the streets. I'm not even doing a heavy workout like I usually do in my previous life.

I slowly walk to my house, open up the door, and fall on the couch in exhaustion. I know that I'm trying to break the limit of this body by forcing myself to run 500 meters at full speed, but I never thought it would be this painful.

I thought that the Gamer's body would nullify pain, but it looked like it was not the case. I can still feel pain, but it will not hinder me from making a quick decision and thinking calmly.

"Shop"

Anyway, I open up the shop and see what kind of item I can buy. When the shop menu appears in front of my eyes, I can see that I have one thousand five hundred shop points I can use.

Weapon||Side-Weapon||Armor||Accessories||Skill||Misc Item|

I press the Weapon option and see many weapons being sold out from a common weapon to a Divine weapon. Oh, there is a rank for the item. The rank is like this: Common -> Uncommon -> Rare -> Unique -> Legendary -> Mythical -> Divine.

I can buy some of the common weapons, but I cannot buy the uncommon and above with my current points. I check the side-weapon section and see that it was the same as the weapon side. I can buy common leather armor and pants for one thousand points, but I decide not to do it for now.

Anyway, I decided to open up the Skill section and see many skills I can buy. I sort the list from the cheapest to the most expensive. After doing that, I can see many skills I can buy, but most of the skills under a thousand are everyday life skills like Cooking, Cleaning, or Drawing.

However, there is one thing that gets my attention.

Dungeon Radar| |1200 Shop Token (ST)|

A skill that let the user search for the nearest dungeon|

{Effect: Search for the nearest dungeon in a one hundred meter radius.}

{200 MP per one hundred meters with 10 KM cap}

That is something I really need right now—a place where I can increase my level. I have two things to level up after all. I need to level up both my class and myself. Lucky for me, the experience needed for my class is not as big as my main level.

I buy the skill and get a notification of me getting a new skill. After that, I go to the Misc Item section, and the first thing I see is the item I need. A health and mana potion.

Health Potion (Lesser)| |10 ST|

A potion that restores 10 HP instantly|

Mana Potion (Lesser)| |10 ST|

A potion that restores 10 MP instantly|

Ten ST for one potion is a good deal. While yes, ten HP is not much but to me, who only has seventy HP, ten HP is valuable. Anyway, I bought twenty-five Health potions and five mana potions.

I sat down on my couch and activated my newly purchased skill.

Scanning…. Scan complete. One dungeon if found.|

List of dungeon:|

{Post Nuclear Fallout Dungeon (Recommended level: Level 1 - 3)}

I nod my head and get up from my couch. Today is Saturday. The school is closed. Meaning that I have time to do grinding.
