As an experienced shut-in, I've seen many mangas and anime to understand the art of isekai. As much as I enjoy them, I've never expected to experience them myself.
As you could've guessed: It happened to me.
Let's start from two hours ago:
I was laying in my bedroom at 3 AM, searching for a new online manga to read, when I suddenly stumbled onto a new web manga with no views. Being a dedicated manga reader, I ignored the manga and searched for a more intriguing one-
Just kidding.
The manga had a pretty alluring title. I think it was titled- what was the name again?
Although remembering people's names is a bit burdensome, my memory isn't bad. I guess I was too tired. I was staying up late to read manga after all.
As I was saying, the manga's cover art was quite eye-catching: the art style was simple, with no extra shading and unnecessary lines. The details on the characters' faces made each character stand out, and the simple lighting gave off the structure.
Immediately after seeing the cover, I convinced myself: that this kind of art is what defines a good manga. However, the only detail I remembered was that one of the characters had dark navy blue hair and bright yellow eyes.
Why do I only remember this character? Well, because he took over half of the cover, my only thought was, "Huh? It's not black?"
From experience, I know that a large number of the male main characters have black hair. Although I have seen other hair colors, dark blue hair is uncommon. As soon as I pressed my finger against the screen, out of habit, I glanced at the tags and immediately realized why the possible main character had dark blue hair.
Ah, a manhwa. I should prepare myself to see a bunch of names I won't be able to remember.
After preparing myself mentally, I tapped on the first chapter. In the dark room, the screen flashed white. I shut my eyes instinctively, but in my head, I screamed, "F*ck! My eyes! It's like D!sçord light mode!"
Poof, I'm inside a magical world in "W!zård oƒ Øz" without a tornado- No, I'm inside a small apartment with a single bedroom, bathroom, and a kitchen, not even a living room. Not to brag, but before, I graduated with a bachelor's degree, just passed a job interview, and with over 50k after buying my house, I would say I'm pretty successful.
Now I'm inside a run-down condo without a living room. Where can I shove a TV? In the bedroom? Hell no! After watching "The R!ngs," there's no way I'm installing a TV in the room where I sleep. Also, this room has nothing else but everyday needs: no books, no video games, and not even a wifi box- did the person who lives here even have a laptop or a phone? No wonder I wanted a TV.
Now you might be asking me, "Hey Alex, where did the two hours go? Didn't you say 'two hours ago?'" Let me explain: I "flipped" the apartment upside down, searching for hints to tell me what this place is. Eventually, my hard work paid off, and I got a few results: the only place I explored was the drawer next to the bed, and inside it was a banking account of a person named "A Chul." What kind of name is "A Chul?" It sounds like "achoo," like someone's sneezing. Anyways, the person called "A Chul" had -52,934,330,243 won. E/N: Won is the Korean currency. The debt is just over 40m USD
...
I sincerely apologize. Did I read that wrong?
Fifty-two billion, nine hundred thirty-four million, three hundred thirty thousand, and two hundred forty-three won- negative?
What had "A Chul" been doing? Made a company and went bankrupt?
See, this is why I'm fortunate: I'm debt free.
But since I'm isekaied, doesn't the transmigrator always have a cheat? Like an overpowered ability or a system?
[Ding! The Host has successfully connected to the system.]
Holy sh*t! Really? There is one? Then do I have a status like some RPG character?
[Ding!]
