Normal people would freak out if something like this happened to them. But Clog, as a veteran ninja, didn't show much of a reaction. He tried to act the same so people wouldn't notice the change in him.

The owner of this body was called Rei Kurosaki. He was nine years old and a third grader at a local school. He fell ill due to food intoxication, and somehow his body got taken over by Clog.

"This kid lived alone.Based on the memories of this body, Most people here live alone from a young age," muttered Rei, the previous occupant of the body.

"I have to regain my powers back. This world doesn't look as simple as they present it on TV. For now, let's roam the city," Rei said to himself as he got out of bed and left the house.

It was winter in the outside world. The snow fell like a cascade of crystalline feathers descending from the heavens. The chilling wind whispered like an icy specter, haunting everything with its frigid touch.

The city was called Shatnol, located in the south of the Nozrol Republic. It is known for its rich food culture throughout the country.

Clog, now inhabiting the body of Rei Kurosaki, moved through the streets of Shatnol with a careful yet detached demeanor. His senses were attuned to the unfamiliar surroundings. Despite the bustling city life around him, he felt a sense of solitude—an isolation that seemed to mirror the emptiness within him.

"This world is very interesting " he thought to himself.

While looking around, he noticed some men escorting two kids. Rei observed them discreetly, ensuring they wouldn't notice. As a veteran ninja, he realized from their movements that they were genins, even though he didn't have any chakra.

"What the hell? I didn't expect there are ninjas in this world. I should avoid them at all costs. Who knows how strong their leader is?" Rei changed direction.

He returned home after buying some souvenirs from the street stalls.
