7 Transmigration Failure

"Where am I?"

As he opened his eyes, Eiji saw the familiar ceiling.

"Ouch..."

Feeling a throbbing pain in his head, he groaned softly.

It took a moment for the headache to subside.

"Who am I?"

"Kamiki Eiji or Lin Fan...?"

If there was still a childlike innocence in his eyes before, now Eiji underwent a drastic change, emitting an adult aura.

Previously, while wearing the sunglasses given by his cousin, sudden memories not belonging to him appeared, as if a river had broken free from its dam.

These memories contained the 27-year life experience of a Chinese man named Lin Fan.

As a result, Eiji's brain struggled to handle the influx of massive information, almost experiencing brain damage.

He was only 5 years old, his brain not fully developed.

"Lin Fan. His girlfriend dumped him after they graduated because he didn't seek a job and became unemployed. After that, he only played games, watched anime, read manga and novels every day without intending to work. He died from a heart attack due to playing games for three days and nights."

Eiji recalled the latest information from Lin Fan's memories.

"Ridiculous. Instead of improving after being dumped by his girlfriend, he became a burden to his family. Useless."

After seeing Lin Fan's life experience, Eiji felt no pity, only disgust.

"But why did this person's memories appear in my mind? Did I miss something?"

To find clues, he delved deeper into Lin Fan's memories.

Eiji's brain worked like a supercomputer, sifting through important and unimportant parts. After 15 minutes, he proposed the most likely theory.

"Reincarnator... Transmigrator... Regressor... Returnee... Otherworlder... Among these terms, Reincarnator and Transmigrator are the most likely."

Eiji found some interesting things from Lin Fan's memories.

In high school and college, Lin Fan liked reading novels with protagonists embodying the five terms mentioned. Additionally, Reincarnator and Transmigrator protagonists were mainstream in China.

Usually, protagonists reincarnated or transmigrated to another world were people who died absurdly.

Lin Fan's death was one such cliché example.

"I'm quite sure that Lin Fan and I are two different individuals. I am Kamiki Eiji, not Lin Fan."

Through the Six Eyes, Eiji felt his pure soul without any trace of Lin Fan's soul.

"Therefore, there is only one explanation for this situation. When I was born, Lin Fan transmigrated to this world, and my body was prepared as a vessel for him. However, my soul had already formed, so he had to erase me if he wanted to take over this body. However, Lin Fan's attempt to take over my body triggered the passive defense of the Six Eyes. Not only did he fail, but his soul also shattered, and his life memories were sealed in my otaku brain."

The Six Eyes were known to have their own consciousness.

Even if someone managed to kill the bearer of the Six Eyes and tried to graft them onto their own eyes, it wouldn't work.

This was because the Six Eyes would disappear and seek another bearer in the Gojo Family lineage in the future.

The Six Eyes had no offensive methods, but they were the best support type!

Eiji speculated that the reason for Lin Fan's soul invasion failure was because the Six Eyes protected their host.

"Forget about Lin Fan's issues... Is this world just anime and entertainment for others?"

In Lin Fan's memories, there was a lot about anime. Eiji was shocked when he explored an anime titled Jujutsu Kaisen.

He thought it was just a coincidence. The word 'Jujutsu' caught his attention, so he decided to check it out. At first, he felt nothing, but when Gojo Satoru appeared in Lin Fan's memories, Eiji's mind shook.

With his extraordinary brain performance, he thoroughly examined memories related to Jujutsu Kaisen, including its second season and manga.

"Ha Ha Ha... Turns out, this world is fake... Everything is not real..."

For the first time in his life, Eiji laughed, but the laughter was filled with disappointment and irony.

Now he was experiencing an existential crisis.

Eiji didn't know if he was real or just an anime character watched by others behind the screen.

After revealing his inner emotions, he furrowed his brow.

"Why don't I appear in anime or manga?"

Eiji checked Lin Fan's memories of Jujutsu Kaisen again. After repeating several times, he couldn't find himself in the story.

"Then... Am I not part of the story?"

Although he was only 5 years old, he was different from typical children.

While children his age played house or with friends, Eiji had already mastered elementary school subjects and studied at the junior high school level.

Combined with Lin Fan's memories, Eiji's thought patterns underwent a drastic change.

"In other words, I am truly an anomaly in this world. My existence shouldn't be in the original timeline. However, due to someone's actions or a mysterious entity, Lin Fan transmigrated to this world. Unfortunately, he was unlucky, his transmigration failed and ended in his death."

Everything had cause and effect. Eiji didn't believe Lin Fan transmigrated without reason.

If that were the case, wouldn't 8 billion people on Earth transmigrate after their deaths?

That's absurd!

"Forget it... There's no use finding the truth of this matter. According to the plot of Jujutsu Kaisen, the future of the Japanese jujutsu world is very bleak."

"Ideological changes of Suguru-san... Kenjaku... Sukuna's full curse king revival... Satoru Nii-san's death and others... Too many tragedies."

After learning about the future, Eiji's determination to become stronger increased.

If he didn't make a change and let Sukuna rise, his fate would be death.

Even Gojo Satoru, the strongest Jujutsu Sorcerer in the modern era, and Kashimo Hajime, the strongest Jujutsu Sorcerer 400 years ago, couldn't match Sukuna in his prime.

Eiji wasn't sure if he would be stronger than Satoru.

As for Hajime?

He was confident he would surpass him once he grew up.

Moreover, there was no Six Eyes bearer in Hajime's era, so he could become the strongest in that era.

Eiji's arrogance was passed down by Satoru after interacting for quite some time.

"Well, whether this world is just anime or not, for me, everything I experience is not fake. It's all real."

"I have to become stronger! At least become a Special Grade Sorcerer!"

Eiji set his goal.

"Eiji-sama, are you awake?!"

The door opened, and Naomi came in with a basin of warm water and a towel. Seeing her young master was awake, she approached with a worried expression.

"How long was I unconscious?" Eiji asked without changing his expression.

"Two days. Everyone was worried when Eiji-sama suddenly fainted. What actually happened?"

Naomi didn't notice any changes in Eiji.

"I don't know."

*Grrrr...*

"Eiji-sama must be hungry. I will quickly fetch some food."

Upon hearing Eiji's stomach growl, Naomi chuckled, then left the room.

"Two days, huh... So, what reason should I use to explain this situation?"

Eiji was confident that the head of the family would inquire about the cause of this incident.
