Chapter 1 - Reality Begins

[Warning : Believer count is 0, body will begin to destruct in 48 hours!]

A system prompted beside me as a stressful feeling winds up inside my head.

'How the hell did I end up here...'

Ivaim thought wistfully as he stressed to look around the current building he was in.

The place was dark and unkempt, and a bit small. The room's walls seemed to be made out of black stones which brought an oddly eerie atmosphere.

The floors were tiled neatly, but its dusty and dark color indicated that this place had not been managed and cleaned for a long-while now.

The air was damp and heavy, carrying the faint, sour scent of decay.

In the middle of the room was a small rectangular table with a circular floor matt underneath.

There was a single candle-stick in the middle of it that felt like it would never run out of light. The light from the candle stick was bright enough to illuminate the room.

It allowed Ivaim to scan the place a little despite the darkness.

'The last thing I remember was being bored in Physics class... I only fell asleep for a moment and suddenly I ended up here?'

He thought, recalling back to his memories.

At first he had wanted to assume that he'd been kidnapped during the short amount of time that he was asleep, however he quickly denied that as he saw the glowing text beside him.

[Warning : Believer count is 0, body will begin to destruct in 48 hours!]

'Fuck, this is definitely one of those system-transmigration scenarios...'

Although he was not an avid fan of such genres, he was still someone who followed the trend of novels.

After all, it was better to know more than to know less.

At the nerve-wrecking situation, along with the system-warning, he knew he had to process the information and world around him.

He did not want to self-destruct at all!

Before inspecting and guaranteeing that it was safe to remove the candle on the rectangular table, he grabbed it and attempted to find an exit.

To his luck, there was an old wooden door in one of the corners of the room.

Heaving a sigh of relief, he slowly and carefully walked there while observing any changes as he headed towards the direction of the door.

'I'll look outside first to see what this building is like from there.'

As he finally came close to the door and held the door handle, he realized that he could not even make the door budge at all, let alone twist the door handle and open it.

Instead, a system notification prompted up beside him once again.

[Would you like to exit your Fractured Reality?]

'Exit my Fractured Reality? This place is called a fractured reality?'

With that thought popping up in his mind, he did not directly agree nor disagree to exit yet, and instead had another idea.

'Ah that's right! There's a system! Usually, in novels like this, I just have to say the magical keywords that will let me view more information about myself.'

"System Interface."

He mumbled, afraid that anyone would hear him despite how seemingly desolate and empty the room was.

Just as he was about to flush red from embarrassment, a system notification truly did pop up in front of Ivaim.

[Title : Spirit with Good Luck

Reality Name : Temple with Good Luck

Rank : Memory

-----Abilities-----

[Coin of Fortune] : Allows user to create a coin imbedded with tiny amounts of good luck, anyone who wields it will find themselves a little luckier than before.

Believer Count : 0

-----Authority Held-----

Fortune : Memory-level ]

He let out another sign of relief once again before scanning the entire notification.

'Spirit with Goodluck? What is that...?'

'Does that describe my current state, or the body I currently posses?'

He deduced as he took a look closer at his own body. He realized awhile ago that it was definitely not his.

It felt awkward trying to control his joints as they did not seem to be familiar to him— it was like putting on clothes that he usually did not wear.

Just as he was about to continue scanning through the entire system notification, a sudden wave of memories rushed through his head.

[Memories have now synced.]

He did not have time to read the system notification. The pain from having new memories implanted in his head made him kneel down and almost vomit on the floor.

Luckily, he stopped himself in time and managed to compose the sudden headache.

He then began to scan his new memories to create a new form of understanding.

'I see.. I'm a— no, this body is a Reality Master?'

The initial shock of having implanted memories quickly subsided as an information that was more jaw-dropping suddenly entered his brain.

'This body is a new born?!?'

After scanning the new memories for awhile, he had basically surmised the entire situation as to why he was brought here.

This body... or the original person who had this body had just been born three hours ago.

It was a Reality Master that was just about to go outside his Reality in order to gain followers when he was suddenly attacked by a highschool student who so happened to have found the "Threshold Item" that lead to his reality called the "Temple with Good Luck."

From the newborn's memories, he immediately discovered what these unfamiliar keywords meant.

Reality Master's are beings born from special circumstances. They first started appearing on this planet a century ago.

At that time, people began to discover and find special items that would allow them to be transported into a seemingly-new world.

The special items were known as "Threshold Items", or in simple terms, they were like portals that would allow them to enter the Reality Master's place.

They came in different forms depending on who the Reality Master was. For Ivaim, no— for the Reality Master that Ivaim possessed, his "Threshold Items" came in the form of coins.

Since the Reality Master of this body was a newborn, he struggled really hard to fight against the random teenager that had just entered his reality.

Not to mention, his only ability was [Coin of Fortune] which was not even an offensive attack, while the teenager had a really sharp knife and a pistol.

Using the [Coin of Fortune], the newly born Spirit master managed to evade instant death and had even somehow stolen the knife from the teenager and stab him on the chest.

However, it seems that the [Coin of Fortune]'s luck was not that impressive as the Spirit Master could not dodge a few of the bullets that the teenager managed to shoot.

In the end, after the Reality Master kicked away the teenager's dead body from the Temple with Good Luck, he immediately came to accept his inevitably incoming death and rested his body— silently waiting for the silence to take him away.

However, due to some unforeseen circumstances, Ivaim managed to transmigrate and posses the Spirit Master, fully becoming and taking over its identity.

'I can't tell whether or not that Reality Master really was a "Spirit With Good Luck".... I mean encountering a teenager who randomly enters your home and try to kill you within three hours of your birth does not at all sound lucky to me.'

He could not help but comment bitterly.

According to the newly implanted memories— he knew exactly why the teenager wanted to kill the Reality Master!
