- Transmigration Successful -

This feeling.... It's something very familiar to all.

I feel hungry and immediately I crave for food... delicious food.

I started to move and that's when I noticed the place I was in.

I was inside a shabby looking house.

And when I went looking for food, it felt as if I knew where to go.

Unconsciously, I walked as if I knew where the food was.

From the bedroom, to the living room, and finally the kitchen.

The moment I stepped on the kitchen floor, I hurriedly grabbed the two slices of bread and ate it.

It tasted bland but in this, it felt like I was eating something important.

That was when I realized.

I wasn't in my original body anymore.

From the unconscious mapping of the house to eating the bread, I know this isn't my body anymore.

After all, I wasn't hungry before I came here.

Transmigration, I should have known just from the word that I would be possessing another person's body.

Well, nevermind that, I should look for a mirror first.

Then, I started looking around and a few moments later I found one inside the bathroom.

Although the bathroom looks shabby and old, I'm not disgusted as it was clean.

Suddenly, the moment I looked at myself, I felt pity for myself and a wry smile appeared on my mouth.

Yet, most of all, even with the feeling of pity, what I felt the most was determination.

It feels as if I would never want to give up no matter the circumstances.

Now I realized, being transmigrated into a game, who is exactly the character I'm possessing?

Judging from the strong determination, that even if the world was about to end, I would never give up.

And... Although pale and clear signs of malnutrition could be seen, the facial structure of someone handsome is still visible.

Aren't I basically the protagonist? Or perhaps one of the main side characters?

Huh? Suddenly loads of memories flooded into my mind but I think my brain is sorting it out by making me only remember the important parts.

Or is it the system's doing?

Well, no matter, I now have a clear knowledge of what's going on.

My name is Aither Mae Heathens, I was a lively child, happy and cheerful.

Yet, one day my parents abandoned me, as they never came back from leaving the house.

I was scared and anxious... I wanted to be with my parents.

But no matter how long I waited... They never came back.

Due to that, I was forced to live alone, with no one providing for me.

I was just a 12 year old boy, what can I do?

In the world where a certain power exists, I wanted to gain that power for myself.

However, how would I be able to do it?

Where would I live if I left this village? I also have no money and I'm still 3 years away from adulthood.

So, I paused on that thought, I need to survive first.

And because of pity some of the villagers occasionally provide me food.

I was grateful but I didn't like the look of pity every time I received their food.

That's why... For the past 2 years I've been working some chores for the village to earn a bit of money for food.

However, that wasn't enough, I needed an opportunity to get out of this village but before that I need to be able to provide for myself.

Fortunately, luck was on my side and an opportunity came.

As I was passing by near the entrance, I saw a woman, she looked to be the same age as me.

Her hair fluttered beautifully as I locked my gaze onto her.

Her hair, a cascade of beautiful white, gleamed with an otherworldly radiance, as if touched by the very brilliance of the sun itself.

Two striking eyes, like twin pools of silver, held an enchanting allure that consumed every bit of my attention.

A subtle hint of darkness mingled within their depths, lending an otherworldly quality to her gaze.

Her lips, a glossy hue of cherry red, formed a perfect harmony with her delicate, angelic countenance.

Yet, even the words "beautiful" and "gorgeous" seemed inadequate to describe her true essence.

Her slender frame possessed an enchanting symmetry, a slender elegance that left me spellbound.

Her porcelain skin, as pure as freshly fallen snow, seemed to glow with an otherworldly luminescence.

I could only describe her beauty as something that could only be seen at the heavenly realms, transcending the boundaries of mortal possibilities.

Her beauty was too perfect.

She was Ethereal.

The only phrase that came into my mind.

I was captivated by her beauty.

So much that I wasn't able to notice the maid by her side.

Then, regretfully I looked away from the beauty that can make even a blind man see.

Less, she finds my gaze uncomfortable.

I left the place and returned to my humble abode, yet I still couldn't get her out of my mind.

"I am in love."

Those words left my mouth and even I was surprised by it.

A day later, I found out that she will be staying in the village.

I was happy and immediately after that day, I came to greet her.

I introduced myself and greeted her, and she greeted me back with a smile.

From then on, I kept looking for her and after a few weeks we became friends.

And even closer as a few months past.

However, suddenly on a certain day... She announced her leave.

That news filled me with sadness but more than that it made me even more determined to make my decision.

I asked her,

"Please take me with you, I'll do anything even if it's to become your servant."

Yet, she replied,

"No, it's too dangerous, that's why I can't bear to bring you with me."

"You are the first friend I've ever made, and I don't want you to get involved in something dangerous."

"That is why... please give up on that idea."

Saying so she left me standing.

Even so, after feeling the worry she had for me.... Something that I hadn't felt for a long time.

I felt happy.

Now, we return to the present, I'm inside the house and in a few hours the girl will be leaving.

But before that, I must say I'm quite handsome.

Though not as much as my previous self and also my hair is white unlike my previous black one.

And come to think of it, the reason this body was hungry earlier must be because he didn't eat all day from thinking about that girl.

Now, if I'm correct there should be something happening soon.....

And I was right as a screen appeared before me.
