Year: 2104

"Attention all personnel, please make way to the engine core room" The robotic voice devoid of human speech sounded throughout the building for the thousands of workers to listen to and obey
"...ugh"
Adam grunts as he heaves himself off the chair in his cubicle, papers can be seen haphazardly scattered across the desktop and five fans are on full blast spraying hot air straight into anyone working in that desk.
"This better not be another ten hour lecture on how we are humanity's last hope" Adam stretches his arms by putting them behind his back and clasping his hands together then pushing as far as he can then lets out a defeated sigh "We already lost hope a long time ago..."
Adam pushes his desk chair into his desk while also attempting to multitask by opening the sliding door to his cubicle with his feet, and with practiced efficiency, he steps out into the narrow hallway "This place never surprises me on how small the corridor is, even after ten years"
"Make way!" The booming voice of a man can be heard behind Adam chanting for people to make space presumably to greedily use it for himself so he does not need to squeeze through the large crowd "He is coming through!" Another voice yelled
"tch, greedy bastards cant wait two minutes" Adam rolls his eyes at the commotion behind him as he continues down the cramped hallway towards the engine core room.
"Make way for the Inventor!"
"Eh?! Wait! Wait! Wait!, THE inventor is coming through?" Adam could not help but turn around upon hearing this in mild excitement in seeing this important figure. "He never comes out of his office. He always just sends orders and designs through email!"
"What is so important about this meeting to get that Neet out of his room?" Adam's curiosity was piqued by the mention of the Inventor, a figure shrouded in mystery and revered by the workers and for good reason
thirty years ago The inventor as the world calls him. Went to the united nations and proposed a massive machine design that could cure global warming and save the quickly dying world. He received nearly all the earnings every country made in the world (or whatever country's are left anyway) to build this machine to save the world
The machine was being build in Antarctica and was fifty kilometres in diameter (31 freedom units) and had the population of a small country working on it. If this machine proved to fail then humanity would be doomed. The fact every country would give so much to this project proved how desperate everybody is.
Adam can be seen awkwardly pushing himself against the wall along with every worker around him so the fabled inventor can pass through. They straightened there back and waiting in anticipation to catch a glance of this legendary figure.
"Yare Yare desu, is it that hard to move for your senpai?" A robotic voice can be heard just in the eyesight of Adam "You baka's I have somewhere important to be. Dattebayo!" The demanding voice can be seen sprinting through the hallways with his head tilted forwards and arms pointed out behind him
The figure Has an average build along with an average height and was wearing all black clothes along with a black hoodie. his face was obscured with a full robotic mask that presumably gave him the deep robotic voice
"Is that the inventor?..." Adam muttered to himself, his voice barely audible over the crowd. The notion seemed absurd. Adam felt his chest tighten and could not swallow his spit "...if he is, then we are doomed"
"Tatakae! Soldiers. Go to the core room already!" The inventor can be seen running through the halls spouting mixed signals in a unique mannerism.
"Huh? make up you mind already do I go or not" Adam already had enough of the nonsense of the inventor and just wanted the day over already "Well he's ran off anyway. so I think we can all move" Adam began to move forwards and nearly as soon as he did. The other workers got the same idea and started moving towards the core room.
-----------------------
Timeskip: 27 minutes
-----------------------
As the workers finally reached the engine core room, Adam couldn't shake the feeling of unease that lingered within him. Despite the inventors actions he was the real deal and him appearing could mean that the engine is about to be activated and the world will be saved. "All geniuses have a screw loose I guess. But they are still geniuses at the end of the day"
"one two three Testing Testing... alright the microphone is working" the Inventor's voice boomed through the room, clear and commanding. "Listen up! It's all meaningless. No matter what dreams or hopes you had. No matter how blessed a life you've lived. It's all the same if you're evaporated by the sun. Everyone will die someday."
As the Inventor's voice reverberated through the engine core room the thousands of workers began looking around in confusion as to what the inventor was saying. They expected the Inventor to comfort them. Not tell them everything they have worked for is meaningless.
"Does that mean life is meaningless? Was there even any meaning in us being born? Would you say that to the billions dead? Their lives...were they meaningless?"
As Adam listened to the Inventor's grim words echoing through the engine core room he began to listen in disbelief "Is this what I think it is?"
The inventor continued his heated speech "No, they weren't! It's us who gives meaning to there lives! The brave fallen! The anguished fallen! The ones who will remember them...are us, the living! We die trusting the living who follow to find meaning in our lives! That is the sole method which we can rebel against this cruel world!"
"YEAH!!" The crowd listening had done a complete one eighty and started to echo the Inventors words with smiling and determined faces on nearly all of them except for Adam who had come to a realization. "...No way he's not saying that speech right?!?"
"My soldiers, rage! My soldiers, scream! My soldiers, fight! Tatakai!!"
But as the Inventor's impassioned speech reached its climax. The workers below had started going into a frenzy and started chanting due to the feeling of empowerment "In-ven-tor! In-ven-tor! In-ven-tor!!" They were jumping up and down and swinging there fists towards the speaker on the far end of the room where the inventor could be seen behind glass high up on the wall
Adam however felt no empowerment from the speech however and only had one thought in his head "That's the speech from attack on titan! What the hell is this guy doing?!?!" Adam's thoughts screamed in his mind, drowning out the roar of the crowd.
The intercom sounded once again and everyone was in anticipation for what words he was going to speak next "Oh also I'm turning the machine on. Its working and this should completely get rid of global warming. Dattebayo!"
As the Inventor's final words echoed through the engine core room the crowd seemed to somehow get even more rowdy than before "YEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The crowd erupted and roared in pure bliss from the inventors words and the out roar caused everyone to move and sway. Which pushed many people.
In the midst of the chaos, the crowd surged forward with such force that Adam was swept off his feet. "urgh!" Adam was shoved against the railing that stops people from falling into the massive hole containing the energy core of the entire facility "OI! Watch out I could of died if I fell over this railing!"
As Adam found himself shoved against the railing. He gripped the metal barrier tightly, his knuckles turning white as he struggled to maintain his balance amidst the chaos. "wait! wait! stop! stop! please!!"
And then, it happened.
One big surge from the crowd knocked Adam flying over the railing. But by a sheer miracle he held onto the ledge with 3 fingers. If one person helped him up he would survive
"gah! dammit! Hey Anyone help!" Adam started shouting for anyone to notice him and save his life "OVER HERE PLEASE!" But despite his shouting nobody could hear him from all the shouting in the room
Adam finger slips and he now holding on by two fingers
As Adam found himself dangling from the ledge, his heart pounded with fear and desperation "GOD DAMMIT ANYBODY PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!"
another finger slips, Adam is on his last finger
"No No NO!! I spent ten years of my life here so I can see a green planet like in the movies. I CANT DIE HERE I WAS ABOUT TO SEE IT!!!!!" Adam begged for his life with one finger left on the ledge. But reality is cruel
And at last the final one slips
As Adam's final finger slipped from the ledge, his body plummeted toward the gaping abyss below. In that split second, his life flashed before his eyes a blur of missed opportunities, unfulfilled dreams, and the crushing weight of regret.
The result of the fall was a red splat from where he landed on the energy core "Huh?" Adam Can be seen on top of the energy core as the drop was a 8ft drop. The ketchup packets he stole from the canteen had exploded from the impact with his butt and the energy core. squirting ketchup all over it.
"oohhhh... Jesus Christ. That scared the living shi-" While Adam was feeling the most gratitude he had ever felt in his life the ketchup had entered the live circuit in the energy core. causing energy to flow outwards with an insane amount of power
"gzzt" Splat, Adam had several terawatt's of power enter his body and completely burst him outwards like popping a bubble
------------------
"ugh... my head.... what happened?" Adam was rubbing his head and speaking to himself as he found himself waking up in a white padded room on a white bed "ah wait, I remember. I got zapped but where am I?"
Adam begins to stretch his arms expecting a doctor to come any minute but something odd catches his eye "Huh!" Adam immediately stops what he is doing and brings his hand to his face "Wah?!? Why is my arm pure white?!?! and why does my hand have this weird sun tattoo on the palm?"
"Did someone give me a tattoo while I was sleeping!?!?" As Adam inspected his arm the panic and bewilderment seemed to only grow as time grew on. In his panic he decided to investigate how much of his skin was pure white
"Why did this happen to me!?! Is it completely all over my body?!?!" Adam quickly pulls of his white shirt and gazes in horror at his torso "AHH!?!? My entire body is just pure white!!! I look like I'm made of marble!"
In his panic he also notices that the shape of his body is also different from what it was originally "Huh?! Why do I have a six pack? am I chiselled from marble too?!?!" after making this revelation he decides that he needs to calm down and think over his situation "Hmm... alright ok. worrying wont get me anywhere. Lets think over this logically"
Adam starts to calm down and in doing so he starts to list the events that have happened to him so far "So, number one. I got zapped in that energy core room and woke up here. I'm not sure what happened there but I will find out soon. Number two my body is completely different to before I fell in there since my skin is white, I have a six pack and I have this weird tattoo on my hand."
"Number three, I'm in this strange white room I have never seen or heard of. I know that the medbay is not like this" As Adam recounted the events that had happened to him so far he became far more calm and had collected his thoughts. He was ready to figure out the cause to all of these events
Adam looks over to a high tech white door on the opposite wall from the bed there along with a large rectangular mirror next to it nearly covering the wall in a mirror "Some people must be out there. I can ask them what happened"
Adam began to rise up from the white bed he was on and move himself so that he can take a step off the bed. He planted his feet on the ground and stands up from the bed "The door looks fancy. It must be a motion detector one"
As Adam took a step forward he felt something irritating to him and he near immediately began to scratch the back of his head "Ah! what is this?!" As Adam scratched his head, he felt the pain and irritation growing stronger and stronger with each passing second "Gah! Dammit my head!!!"
Almost as fast as this pain in Adams head came, it left as Adam passed out leaving him standing in the pose of him scratching his head. His body fell to the ground and crashed into the floor after he had passed out
--------------------
"urg... what happened?" Adam was confused from passing out and had found himself waking up in a pitch black void "Where the hell am I?!? Again?!?!"
While Adam was confused. The dark abyss had started shifting and turning which made random colors to spew out and around Adam. This created a background with random lights spewing from it
"What the hell?"
The lights slowly stopped turning before all the thousands of them became straight lines pointing vertically for as long as the eye can see. "What is going on? what are those lines??"
Adam decided to investigate these strange lines and had steeped towards the closest one to him "What is this thing?" He stretched his arm forwards in an attempt to touch it before shortly stopping himself "Wait! What if this thing is dangerous?" he then had a stare down with the glowing line for a short second
"Eh, screw it"
Adam plunged his hand towards the glowing line and as soon as he made contact with it the line exploded in color, completely filling Adam's vision and entering his body "Ah! What is this?!" Adam was blinded with color's he was unable to tell up from down from the sensory deprivation
"Are... Are these memories?" As Adam was bombarded with the overwhelming surge of colors and sensations, he felt as though he was being pulled into a whirlwind of memories. Fragments of images and emotions flashed before his mind's eye, each one more vivid than the last.
"Oh..."
"that explains... a lot"
Adam was still recovering from having an entire life worth of memories be implanted into his brain, but in doing this he had come to many realizations.
"wow... this body's previous owner went through a lot" As Adam processed the flood of memories that had overwhelmed him, he began to piece together the puzzle of his new existence. Each memory, had been surgically attached to his brain.
"..." Adam remained silent and processed all the information he had received from this strange event and had come to a conclusion
"...I really need to get out of this place"

{also it would be nice if you suggested names for the Mc, and the body he takes. right in this paragraph via comments. If I like the name enough I will make it cannon}
