The sun was slowly setting as an ordinary looking guy was lying by the seaside of MOA (Mall of Asia). He just got rejected again after an interview for a job application about an hour ago.
He's resting here right now after the job interview ended. The location of the interview was on one of the ecom buildings that's why he easily found his way to the seaside at the back of the mall which was a great place to be by this time since the wind would be a bit cooler during late in the afternoon.
Kevin wasn't in deep thought or depressed like any other person would be after what he just got through, he was simply enjoying the moment. He wasn't pressured that it was the 10th time he got rejected in a job interview, and that the allowance he received from his parents since coming to the city is now mostly done.
Even during his high school he wasn't sad when he was bullied a lot and on his college days when the only girl he ever loved left him for another. He was alone all the time after that but he wasn't lonely about it since he chose to do so. Why? Well in simple terms, it's just that none of the things that happened in his life gave him interest at all. His attention was solely captured in the world of anime.
He's more than eager to know if Naruto could bring sasuke back to Konoha than answering his assignments. He most probably spent most of his time drawing different kinds of Zanpakuto of bleach during free time in class. Or even memorised a lot of Pokémon names when it was study time at home. Played more Yu-Gi-Oh cards than participating in clubs such as soccer or basketball. Heck, he must have cried a lot more watching one piece than korean novels. He's simply in love with the world of anime.
A few moments later
The cool wind suddenly became stronger. His eyebrows curled by the sudden change and when he opened his eyes, a raindrop found it's way and entered it. That was then followed by a heavy downpour making him partly wet his clothes instantly since he was lying down.
The waves by the seaside completed the job and washed him whole. Then his attention was caught by the sudden light in the clouds, this was followed by the sound of thunder which made his heart beat loudly due to that sound that seemed so close.
By the time he reached for his chest to calm his beating heart, a lightning fried him whole erasing his existence as his consciousness left his body. Normally it wasn't possible and a human hit by lightning simply dies leaving a charred body. But on kevin's case, not even his ashes was left behind.
When Kevin regained his consciousness, he was inside a classroom. He looked around and found kids around him listening to the teacher who was clearly discussing something in front of the whole class. He looked at his hands which was now younger, this wasn't his!
What's more is that he can understand what the teacher was saying even though he knows that the language the teacher was using is Japanese and not English or Tagalog. After watching God knows how many anime, he could understand a bit or two of the Japanese language. But at this moment he completely understands all of it.
When he watched anime for the first time on a local channel, he was glad it was dubbed in his language which is Tagalog.
When he watched Dragon Ball in a DVD, he was glad it was dubbed in English but when it's language switched to Japanese by accident he was shocked to hear Goku's manly voice suddenly turned somewhat feminine.
When internet became common in his area and streaming was easier, he learned how to read subtitles in synced with what the characters were saying in Japanese.
And when the anime he watched takes too long to finish was the only time he became interested in reading Manga, Manwha and Manhua. But even those takes time to finish that he ends up reading the light novels of it which was completed. And that opened up his door to reading Chinese, Korean and Japanese novels.
Back to the classroom
'I'm in Japan!' Kevin concluded as he smiled. Unlike his normal aloof mood when he was still back on his world. He was now showing an expression when he's deeply watching a new anime, or reading an updated chapter of a Manga or when he found another completed novel that probably has at least 3 thousand chapters or more.
'This must be one of those transmigration anime like No game No life or reincarnated as a slime or Wiseman's grandchild.' Kevin thought as he was starting to like his situation but not long after replaced by a dissatisfied face.
He thought that if he was to be transmigrated, why can't it be literally in another world? This is still earth and he was simply sent to Japan!
Bored by the sudden reality he slumped his head back to his desk and tried to sleep.
'If there's anything that's done right this time, it would be this protagonist spot' Kevin thought as he looked through the window on his left since he's literally sitting on the protagonist spot. His eyes slowly closing as he wants to sleept it off.
Before he was able to sleep away, memories of the original owner of his current body came to his head in a rush like that of a river dam being opened. His name was Tokisawa Yon. He was now living with his grand father ever since both his parents passed away the day he was born.
This caused him to be treated as a cursed kid by his peers and everyone who knew him and his story, basically everyone in school. Yon was also paler than any girl making him look like very sickly kid but this was due to him staying at home all the time. And he also has an ability no other human he knows have. By some unknown factor, ever since he was born he was able to see ghosts.
When he was 3 years old, he realised that with his ability maybe he could meet his parents since they're already dead then they must have turned to ghost right?. But he was unable to even when he went to their memorial grave everyday. After that, because was able to see any other ghost besides his parents, he then considered it a curse ever since and stopped visiting their graves.
Yon opened his eyes after receiving those memories. His bored mood was suddenly replaced by excitement. He began analysing what world he was in since there were ghosts visible to him. Based on the appearance of the ghost he's seen so far or shall we say the original Yon saw, he can deduce that the world he's in right now is the anime Bleach's world.
'If I remember correctly the source of power of every character was spiritual energy called reiryoku.' Yon focused and closed his eyes. He tried to sense or feel anything inside or around him.
Due to Yon being treated as a cursed child by everyone, he was never seen showing any expression. This caused him to look cold all the time, even when he was around his grandfather. But the reality of this was that, he just didn't know any other expression to make.
He was lifeless ever since he couldn't meet his parents but saw a lot of ghosts other than them. This was one of the catalyst for the original soul to be so weak and just in time for Kevin to be able to replace him. The old soul didn't even bother fighting Kevin and accepted him instead and by doing so making their soul into one single soul.
Kevin got the bigger end of the stick and became the owner as the old soul was completely integrated into him. This phenonmenon then gave him a reiryoku which is a combination of two unique souls. One soul was unique enough to be able to see ghosts and the other soul was also unique as it travelled from a different world after being struck by lightning.
And because this was the case, Kevin or shall we say Yon was now his name. Yon was able to immediately feel his reiryoku which was bigger than those around him. He could feel his teacher's reiryoku and his classmates which were all so small, there's hardly any different from an adult's soul from a kid.
But looking at his own reiryoku which was not only twice as strong than a normal teacher's soul but in fact ten or twenty or even more times stronger. Its like the difference between a pebble and a boulder.
'This, this is it.! These world's power!' Yon smiled and clenched his fist as he was able to observe his spiritual energy inside him. 'I don't know if this much of spiritual energy coming from a kid's body can be compared to a normal shinigami or a leutenant but this definitely does not even come close to a captain's. And that's exactly how much I need to even be able to enjoy living in this world. First, I need to be able to know how much time I have before the plot starts or where in Japan am I.'
'Karakura town, heck that's all I know about the location!' Yon slumped back on his table after thinking about what to do next. As the class ended, nobody bothered him as he got out of school. He remembers his way back home and tries to remember how old he is. Currently he is 7 years old in the elementary.
If he's the same age as Ichigo that wold give him about 9 years of time until the plot starts. And that was only an assumption of time, he still needs to figure out which town he's in. The old soul didn't bother knowing such trivial things.
After he found out that he couldn't meet his parents his grandfather saw how it affected him greatly and decided to move out from their original home which was near the mountains to a populated area so that Yon can meet more people and associate with them.
This way, his grandfather hoped for Yon to have friends and experience the normal life of a kid. However things don't always go as planned when Yon's situation was known to those around him. Instead of having friends and live a normal life, he found himself labeled as a cursed child by those around him especially his school. This has lead to them on moving home a lot.
On his way back home. He attracted a lot of ghosts(pluses or human souls) since his reiryoku was different than when it was just the old soul who inhabitted his body. Right now his reiryoku was probably more than 10 to 20 or more adult's soul power combined. This however wasn't a problem to the new Yon as he was fascinated by them.
"Amazing! So this is how a ghost or soul looks like. I am indeed correct in my assumption that this is the bleach world. Those chains on their chests are extremely familiar." Yon curiosly observed the chains as he slowly walked back home and the number of souls attracted to him increased.
'hmmn, I don't plan on associating with them. Although I'm amazed by this body's ability. I just hope with this many souls around me, I don't attract a Hol-' before Yon could finish his thought a sound coming from a distance cut him off.
Wooooooohhhhhh!!!!!!!
"Well I'll be damned.! I just got here! I'm not dying again!" Yon shouted and paused then sprinted away from where the noise was coming from hoping not to get killed by a hollow. As he just mentioned, he just died awhile ago and was sent here. There is now way he would want to die again, especially gettig eaten by a hollow!
The souls who gathered around him dispersed themselves as they were afraid for what's coming over but the people around hasn't even notice a thing, they simply thought Yon to be a crazy kid who was shouting nonsense.
Not a moment later a tall figure appeared with a hollowed chest, yellow eyes, and your day to day typical hollow masks that you'll be able to see when you watch Bleach. But before it could move to another location a group of people in black shihakusho each holding a katana came rushing down to it. The hollow was cut down easily without able to put up a fight as it disintegrated.
"That human kid was not normal" one of the men in black shihakusho said.
"Yeah, I've never seen a human that can attract a lot of pluses, especially a hollow."
"Should we monitor him?"
"No, he's not part of our mission. Those pluses earlier are the mission. Once he dies, then he becomes part of the mission." says a very serious looking shinigami who's probably the leader of the group.
"Let's split up and send those pluses to Soul Society so we can go home." the rest of them nodded in agreement and split up in the same directions those souls went to earlier.
