Chapter 3 I became an NPC?! (2)

Stepping out of the bathroom, I sat on the chair. Leaning my thin back against the back of the chair, I tried to relax my mind and started to seriously think about what had happened.
First, I slept and woke up in a different body. It seemed like I had transmigrated into the body of the person named Danz Grayson.
The pain in my head and body before seemed to be due to my consciousness synchronizing with the new body.
Well... most of the main characters in novels are like that, right? Waking up and realizing that they have transmigrated into someone else's body.
Another reason why I believe that I transmigrated into this body and not my original body was transferred to another world is that this body has a full identity.
If my original body was transferred, it would be impossible for me to have an identity in this world.
Speaking of identity, it seems I should take a closer look at this Danz Grayson guy. After all, I took over his body...
'I'm sorry, original Danz. This was just an accident, I also don't know why I'm in your body' I clasped my hands in front of me, sincerely apologizing to the owner of this body for taking it over.
"Let's check this bracelet first" I muttered, my eyes focused on the bracelet that was neatly placed on my left wrist.
I fiddled with the bracelet for a while to figure out how it worked.
After more than 10 minutes, I finally understood how to activate it.
I just need to lightly touch the right side of the bracelet, a holographic projection of my information will appear. If I want to turn it off, I just need to touch it twice.
In addition, this bracelet seems to be able to function as a mobile phone. I just need to raise my hand and manipulate directly on the projection, quite simple and easy to understand, easy to use.
After scrolling back and forth for a while, I found the contact list. In the contact list, I only saw two phone numbers lying bare. It said "Mom" and "Dad".
"So this body has both parents..." I let out a breath, feeling lucky that I had transmigrated into a body with both a father and a mother.
Well... I don't want to experience being an orphan at all. I think everyone feels that way.
Looking at the contact list, I frowned.
"There's no one else besides Mom and Dad? No friends?" I muttered in wonder.
I thought that the original Danz would at least have some friends, but his contact list was empty.
"What kind of lonely person is that? Is he autistic?..."
Saying that, the corner of my lips twitched slightly, my eyebrows furrowed.
'It seems like I was like that before too...'
...
"Sigh... our fates seem to be a bit similar, huh?"
Rubbing my forehead, I smiled sarcastically and said softly.
Then suddenly tears welled up in my eyes, the emotions I had been suppressing for a while finally burst out.
"Mom, dad... and little sis too. My soul has been transmigrated into another world like this, will my body on Earth die?"
I thought of my family, my small but happy family. I felt worried and...guilty. The guilt for leaving my family behind.
I was worried that I wouldn't be able to see them again, that they would be in pain when they saw my original body die in my own room.
I didn't even dare to imagine the expressions of my parents and little sis when they found out I was dead.
My emotions kept surging strongly. My mind was in turmoil.
...
After a while of calming down, I wiped away the tears from the corners of my eyes. Shaking my head, I slapped my cheeks with both hands.
*Slap*
'It hurts...'
Although it hurt a lot, the pain helped me to be more conscious. I tried to organize my thoughts.
I opened the bracelet's interface again. After scrolling for a while, I finally found the online information search function.
Thinking for a moment, I decided to type in the search bar.
{What is the name of this planet?} and then pressed Enter.
In just a split second, the information I wanted to find out jumped out.
Looking at the search results, I couldn't even close my mouth. I just opened my eyes wide and looked at what was displayed before me.
{The name of this planet is Elmanar}
With just such a short answer, my head felt like it was going through a huge storm. It took me a while to regain my composure and say.
"Elmanar?! Is that the Elmanar I know?" My mood was in chaos. The reason was none other than that familiar name.
Elmanar was the main planet in the novel "The Mage of Destiny". The birthplace of the magic genius Karen Alethea.
How could I forget that name? There's no way.
"Calm down! I need to calm down" I said, but my mood was still restless. Like a small boat in the middle of a storm.
Immediately after calming down a bit, I quickly opened the calendar interface. I wanted to know what time period of the plot I was in. If I accidentally crossed into the time when the Demon King was about to invade, I would be in trouble.
Opening the calendar interface, I let out a sigh of relief.
{August 27, 305th year of Elmanar}
"Thank goodness, it's only 305th Elmanar. It'll be another 10 years before the Demon King and his army land on this planet."
But even if they do land, they'll be wiped out by Karen and her gang, so why should I worry? There's no way the main characters can lose to the villains. Especially when they're in the final battle.
My job is to stand from afar and watch Karen's group grow. I don't want to attract attention and I don't want to put myself in danger.
I can't even bear the pain from my body's synchronization, so how the hell am I supposed to deal with other dangers? I give up.
Let me remind you, not long ago I was still an ordinary person, unemployed and sick. There's no way I'd rush into danger.
I'm already satisfied just by watching the main characters from afar.
"It's 305th, and it's almost time for school to start...this is when the plot begins!" I suddenly remembered this important information.
'I can witness the growth of the Karen group?' Just thinking about it made me feel elated.
'Wait! I'm 16 years old. I think I'm the same age as the main characters!'
A bold thought flashed through my mind, and I quickly checked my email.
I swiped through a bunch of junk mail, then I screamed.
"Really!"
"I really am in the same academy as the Karen's group!" I jumped up happily, feeling as light as a feather. Especially when I finished reading the mail.
"Even in the same class as them? Is this heaven?" I almost fainted from excitement.
It took me a long time to calm down, but the corners of my lips wouldn't let go. A strange smile appeared on my face.
"Alright, I have to get ready for the opening ceremony. I don't want to attract attention, but I don't want to leave a bad impression either."
Just like that, I threw myself into my preparations.
I took the opportunity to search for the necessary information to avoid unnecessary mistakes.
I prepared all the necessary equipment to tail them- no, I should say accompany and observe the future hero group.
I will definitely become a real NPC, the best background character!
Destination: Hollis Academy - the largest academy in the Vedast continent, located in the capital city of Prugia.
Opening date: September 1st, 305th year of Elmanar.
