"D*mn..."
On a luxurious bed, a boy aged approximately 15 years are sitting and leaning on the mattress. The boy had a shallow breath, looking as if he had just had a bad dream. With the last curse words that came out of his mouth, the anger he experienced turned into confusion after seeing the situation around him.
With the luxurious furniture he saw around his bed, a Jacob & Co. watch. which was placed on the table next to his bed, as well as a photo of the boy with his parents in the background of a luxurious house made the boy on the bed question himself.
"Where am I...?"
He used his brain subconsciously to recall what happened. But, what he discovered was an extreme pain running through his head. With the pain he felt, a pile of pieces, fragmented images, began to appear in his head.
"What in the world was that?"
With memories he didn't know about starting to pop into his head, he started to get confused.
And, more and more new memories appeared in his head, making him unable to sort out when they occurred. So, He said to himself "Maybe after a proper breathe, I can understand this situation..."
With that, he began to remove the blanket that was on his thighs, prepared a comfortable seat and began the lotus position (Neutral meditation position).
Then, he closed his eyes and began to consolidate his breath. With his focus clear, he finally able to sort out the memories in his head and obtain information on his current situation.
Before jumping into the part where He starts sorting out his memories, now we can start with him (his soul). His name is Wayan, who is a slave to a corporation that has tortured him for more than a decade, he can't entertain himself or get time to relax like traveling, going on holiday or visiting the beach. But, he could only entertain himself from watching and reading things on the internet. He likes various kinds of conspiracy theories, some things related to the Survival theme, and also various novels related to adventure and also the category of East Asian Fantasy.
As mentioned above, He is a corporate slave. Because the workload was physically and mentally burdensome, he was very tired. This situation made him forget himself and die.
For now, he didn't know where he is, or any other reason related to why he could be in this child's body. At least, after he gathered the information in this child's memories, he can plan how he will live in the future.
A few moments passed, Wu Yan opened his eyes slowly. With a deep breath, he finally finished his little meditation.
"I see... this is what is called transmigration, huh...".
After sorting all the information, he have some conclusions.
In his current state, he transmigrated into this boy's body. From the memories he obtained, he now lives in China but has a different name, and the city he lives in now is called Hai City. His name is Wu Yan, comes from the Wu family which is a second class rich family. His family owns a company that produces door parts and his family also owns a building materials shop that has a name in the Hai City. This kid, Wu Yan, had just graduated from Junior High School. And tomorrow, he and his father will go to several top schools in Hai City so that Wu Yan can choose which school is suitable for him.
"If you think about it, a novel's plot usually starts from the 2nd or 3rd year of high school. Maybe tomorrow I can decide whether I'm in a novel or not. Also, it's not bad to transmigrate into a nobody. I just thought that I transmigrated into a novel. If so, it would just make my character and behavior change to the extreme. Because for me, both protagonists and antagonists have their downsides. And I don't want to be them. At least for now. If things change, I have to adapt and grow one step ahead of them."
Wu Yan talked to himself about the possible situation he will facing from now.
According to his knowledge of the novels he often reads, there are some story plots that are the most cliche in his opinion.
If it were to be an ordinary protagonist, the most cliche plots would usually be like the mercenary King, the doctor's student who went down the mountain, the military King who was roughly someone who had a hidden identity. Also, the character that will give you a headache, whether it is a protagonist or a villain, is someone who has a system or is a regressor. As for transmigrant characters like him, they should have cheats such as transparent eyes, heavenly characters in accessories, or systems.
In his own case. As said above, he didn't know whether he is inside the novel or not. But what is certain is that he doesn't want to live an ordinary life like in his past life. With him now being born as a teenager, this is a turning point and also to achieve a better future.
"I'm not sure that I am inside the novel or not, but, I'll try using regular meditation breathing techniques to look inside myself. Whether I brought something or not. At least, I tried to look inside myself. If I have something, luck is on my side. If not, what can I do?"
With his final muttering, he decided to meditate again. But, with a little extra movement.
He started in the Lotus position, closed his eyes and began to circulate his breath regularly. Then, he closed his anus* as if to contain the energy beneath his body. By focusing his brain on his breath and also closing his anus, it was as if he was focusing himself on heaven and earth.
Like a phrase he usually read in cultivation novels, 'one gives birth to duality, 2 gives birth to trinity, and 3 gives birth to everything' and there was also a sword technique called 'Sword returning to origin'. Wu Yan uses those two concepts in meditation. Even though it doesn't produce energy or Qi, he manifests it into an eye so he can see into his deepest self.
After a moment of diving into the subconscious mind, he finally noticed something. As the distance began to shorten, Wu Yuan saw this clearly. And, that's what surprised him.
