Transmigration

A man was lying on the ground he look unkempt, untidy, haggard, all in all he look like a beggar.

"ugh, what the hell is this pain?!" He roared.

He gritted his teeth, roared, shout, but it won't help at all. He is feeling pain all over the body, like someone is crushing you with gravity, and there is this feeling that something is being taken from you.

Ten minutes later, he stop wriggling and convulsing, the surroundings are eerily quiet.

He suddenly open his eyes. His eyes displayed confusion and uncertainty.

"Ugh...where is this place??" He muttered to himself. He looked around trying to discern where the hell he is.

'How did I get here? No. Where I am in the first place? This is bizarre, I am laying on the bed then now I'm here? Did I get kidnap? Then why I am in this slum?' he thinks.

He stand up then he crouched again because a sudden headache assaulted him.

"AHHHHH!?!??" The pain he is receiving is immense, faint memories trickled into his mind. Then the headache stops, he muttered.

"Seol Jihu.....bastard, i transmigrated as this guy? Sigh, why did I transmigrated as this guy? Plus, the memories i received, it is faint, no should I say, little? But if I receive it, then did I swallow his soul? How is that possible? That pain, before I transmigrated, is terrifying." He shivers in that thought.

He stand up again, and he thank god because there is no more pain. He then walks toward the alley where there is light.

He took a cab and head to his apartment.

He open the door and what greeted him was a woman cleaning his house. Yoo Seonhwa, his girlfriend.

!

[Yoo Seonhwa]

Foolishly devoted

Concern

Memories surged in his mind, the memories between him and her, their time as a child, couple, till she goes to abroad and he falls into depression.

He stopped for a moment to reorganize his thoughts. Then.....

"Why are you here?" He ask, his voice is emotionless.

The woman, no, Seonwha, was shock. In the past, even though he drives her away, his voice still contained some warmth or concern. But it is different now, he is Seol Jihu, but at the same time not.

"Jihu-"

"I said why are you here?" Still the same, emotionless.

She flinched, her eyes turned moisty. She is fighting the urged to cry.

"J-Jihu..I...I." she didn't know what to say.

"Then leave." He said.

She stood there, petrified, she didn't know what to do.

Seol Jihu, acted like she didn't exist. He cleans up the trash then open his laptop and type whatever he is doing.

Seonhwa stand there for about ten minutes till she recover herself from shock. She silently go to the door and walk out.

After she walk out. Seol Jihu. No, Nex, plopped in the table. He is trembling. He is also fighting an urge to hugged her and sorry for the things that he did to her. His body wants to. But he is in control, his mind automatically acts emotionless, in front of strangers or he didn't know.

In the past, no one listened to him, this lead to this now, where he put a shell around himself but he still let the other people to be close with him, but that's it, he won't open to anyone. He won't tell them his problems or what he been through.

"Damn it, your so wasted, your family and girlfriend are all broken because of you."

He is trembling with rage, this bastard, treat his girlfriend and family like a bank where he can get money from.

"Sigh, calm down, you are now him."

He then look at the mirror.

[Seol Jihu]

Bastard

Scum

Confused

"Jihu's eyes, The Nine Eyes."

He's feeling a lot of emotions right now. Confusion because why did he transmigrated, Fear because there are a lot of strong guys in paradise, and Excitement because he will be able to use magic and weapons.

'okay, calm down, my circuits are broken and I need to fix it. And most of all, what date is it today?'

January 31st. And in the novel, Seol entered Paradise in March something.

He still have 1 month to prepare himself. Then he entered, the bathroom, shave himself, cut the hair and took a bath.

He started basic excercising like push up, crunches, sit up, and lifting. He is dripping with sweat from excercising, he then rest for about 3 mins and doing excercising again.

After pushing himself to the limit. He took a shower again and lay on the bed, he doze of quickly because of tiredness both mental and physical.

____

He woke up, the sun is already set, 8 in the morning, he brush his teeth and started excercising again. After tiring himself, he took a shower and wear clothes he go out to breakfast because there is nothing in his fridge but beer.

After breakfast, he go back to his apartment. He is laying on the bed, closed eyes.

He is starting to fix his magic circuit. Seol Jihu's eyes, no his eyes is a freak, a mutation or maybe an anomaly. It unconsciously drawing mana. Because earth lack the energy called mana, it leads to being unusuble. He wants to consciously absorb mana, the surroundings lack mana, it is very thin, so he need to do it consciously. He imagine, this mana to draw to himself and it did.

It is comforting yet unfamiliar. Then a pain assaulted himself again, it is mana, a clump of mana assaulted him. This is the reason why he didn't get tired easily, there is a dragon blood mixed in him. Dragons are blessed by mana. They embodied the mana itself.

Then his body, it is like he is getting disassemble and assembled again. He can't shout nor roar like before. His apartment isn't soundproof and he will alert his neighbors. He experienced this pain already, two times infact, the transmigration process and the memories transfer.

He only let out a groan and after a couple of minutes that felt like a decade it is finished.

He look in the mirror again.

[Seol Jihu]

Dragon Human

Repaired circuits

Physically fit

He changed, his aura, body, all in all he changed. And a puddle of black substance in ground that stinks like a garbage juice.

'Draconic eyes'

His originally black eyes change into gold and his pupils were replaced by a snake like slits.

Flaws. He can see a lot of flaws in himself, no you could say he is full of flaws.

"This is really...Kalatus legacy..."

He is shocked, Kalatus, the last dragon king, ancient dragon, dragon of chaos. He remembered it. Yeon-woo Cha and Jeong-woo Cha. The two bloodline successor of his. The tragic story about a brother climbing the tower to avenge his brother.

How the hell did he have the legacy of dragon king Kalatus? No that isn't important now. He can get the answer later on if he is stronger. What his problem right now is how to get strong as he still have time before the Tutorial.

"But first I must pay off my debts and settle my business with Seol's family. No, his family now.

3days later

He go to gym every morning, he excercise himself to the limit and after that take a sumptuous breakfast and meditate to absorb mana. If he estimate the awakening process in the start, 5% just like in the original yeon-woo and in that span of three days his progress is excellent nonetheless. He can feel it so he can estimate it around 13% as of now. He also did ban himself in those casinos and started researching about this world. This world is the same as earth but the difference is year 2017 is like in 2010 in the original world.

So he bought Bitcoin where there price is still in 50bucks(60 679.6won). He'll be billionaire in that instant and if he die he'll have a money to support his family in the future and not burden them.

"It is time. I must face what is inevitable. I need to apologize."

He walk out of his apartment and took a walk to his parents house.
