blessed or cursed?
Another world.
A world that is another.
It is the fantasy of most weebs, or people sick and tired with their life in general. People fantasize and desire this because, of what I mentioned.
People get tired, some justified and some just lazy. Some just couldn't endure the depression and the mundane suffering of the 21st century.
Some seek refuge, in the form of literature and entertainment, be it anime, novels, or movies. Anything to make them forget the crushing boredom and mundanity of their life.
Some couldn't handle it, and resorted to self deletion, while others continued on, even if they didn't feel happy.
There's no shame in it tho, it's understandable not everyone can handle the struggle.
I'm no better after all.
So, of course due this technically progress, but empty era. People will find ways to stimulate their need for something to feel their empty heart, and surpressed the cynical ideal.
Some do heart pumping things, like skydiving, bungee jumping, extreme athleticism etc. while others resorted to least then legal things to stroke their burning desire.
I myself partake in many of this activities, skydiving was the most fun in my opinion. The feeling of the air hitting your face, the trippy joy I felt when I fall down; it brings me child like joy.
But, just like all things, that joy soon faded the more I did.
So, I look for more to feel that need; thankfully though I didn't do anything illegal.
Good times~
Back with the another world thing.
Some desire it, some daydream about it.
And, all those expections of an Isekai, like big titty bitches, magic, power fantasy, and beautiful scenery.
Is shit, aside from the big titty hoes, and the magic. Outside from that, the experience is absolutely garbage, and not recommend.
How do I know this? You may ask.
Because, I'm in a Isekai world!
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
It's been a while since I got here.
And, to say that it's been tough, is a to say the least is an understatement.
This world have been in a hundred year war with the quote on quote Dark Queen and her evil forces that has been terrorizing man. But, fortunately man is aided by the Goddess reborn, Celestine. And with her blessing she has formed a brigade of blessed and "noble" knights composed entirely of females with armor that probably is the fetish of the blacksmith that forge it.
And, I'm a fucking guard of the fucking supposed Goddess, well, not her directly more of a small sector of sector for her castle.
I have multiple heart attack when the phantom memories came flooding in my mind, shit felt like my skull was about combust.
Thankfully the pain was short term, and my reward for enduring is the distant memories of the individual whom I've usurped.
The realization that I've body snatched this guy, was immensely guilty. My mind thinking that I've technically murdered the guy hit me like a alcoholic father, when he realized His wife burnt the dinner.
But, the guilt turned to questions, as to who is the man I've just possessed?
The man name was Albert, no last name as the man was an orphan. Apparently Albert liked the stories of a man named Vault, the war hero, and the leader of the mercenary group Black Dogs.
The guy liked the man so much, that he joined their local recruitment program, that was not surprisingly sponsored by Celestine herself, and one of the Princess Knights Maia.
And from the look of the memories, Albert esd surprisingly talented with the spear. Having learned the basics and nearing mastery.
So the man had a bright future ahead of him.
Then I came along.
But, that's besides the point. What I find bizarre is, outside from his affinity with the spear, Albert was kind of boring. He doesn't anything going on aside from his guardsman carier. He does not have a girlfriend, any deep friendship, and was bit disconnected.
You seen what I'm taking about?
The man, Albert was a blank slate, a perfect vessel for any transmigrated.
So, the guili I felt before turned to intense suspicion. This couldn't be a coincidence, the variables, conditions, was to convenient to be mere coincidence.
The pieces is too perfectly stage.
But who knows. The questions I have might not be answered at all. And 2 weeks after the body snatching, I've just accepted my current predicament.
No use worrying over things, I could not control.
So, here I am, standing behind the gate of the castle. Watching, the other guardsman doing their assigned duty, and not gonna lie, it's a bit lonely here.
While I'm in company of a another guard, what was his name again? Smith. We rarely ever talked to each other, his aura always turned me off, he seems to be the serious, no nonsense kind.
So, talking to him was a rare occurrence, and if we did it's always about our duty or jobs.
Thankfully this job is a shift. Considering my apparent talent with the spear, I was given the night shift. While Smith over there was given the day shift. Also we're given day breaks, were we are replaced by other guards.
My schedule is Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and lastly Sunday. Sunday is more of an option really.
So, for a medieval world the work culture is surprisingly pretty comfortable. Not to say, is not hard, it's just super surprising for me that's all.
And, for a kingdom that's in a war, day to day life is not that miserable .
...
And the other thing is, usually when people get Isekai'd they usually are given a cheat, or as the Chinese say "Golden Finger "
I've got hope that I would get ln, but it's been quite awhile and I could only hoped so much.
Though...
I did not try to shout SYSTEM in a while.
"System!"
...
Still nothing, why do I bother.
"Arghh, what time is it?"
I've just woken from my nap, and the first thing I fucking did was to fucking shout system.
"I'm slowly going insane, day by day huh?"
This what no internet does to a motherfucker.
Done with my monologue, I observe my surroundings. It's still night, not that much happening; I don't think an orc get its ass this close to the castle.
"Man what do I do, wirh this new life of mine?"
I've got no bitches, no cheats aside from my spearmanship.
"God please help."
[Ding!]
My monologue was broken by a familiar and machine like sound, expections and hope skyrocket.
"Is this it!"
I excitedly muttered to myself.
{System Integrating to new vessel... }
My smile threatened to rip my face from sheer happiness.
{System processing new host preference...}
[1-10-40-65-89-100]
[Ding!]
"Please be it."
{System successfully integrated! Congratulations Albert or should this humble AI say, Jeremiah for successfully receiving a functioning Unit!}
"Yes! Wait- this isn't a hallucination is it?" My hope is being suppressed by the prospect being a figment of my hopeful mind.
{I assured you host this isn't a hallucination, nor is it hallucination. The architects have blessed you with a functioning unit of 244532748299Gs, or the " Gamer System"}
The Ai answered.
{Though I am a variant of the aforementioned system, I work more or less the same of the original. With one magor difference. I work as a conduit for the power system of Earth: 223938329223327736, also known as "Jujutsu kaisen"}
"Okay," I take a deep breath, "So you're a varient of the gamer system, and also a conduit for the Jujutsu kaisen system? Why that anime of all anime?"
I asked.
{The selection process is pure random, without any outside interruptions and meddling. This Earth Varient is the world that is randomly picked by the process.}
Okay, it's random. Wait how would that work here? This world though it has magic it's does not work the same as cursed energy. The magic is mostly similar to Harry Potter than anything else.
{If host is wandering how would I work. The answer is me and you.}
"Huh? Elaborate."
{I work as a link connecting the two reality, and host is the medium of which the energy is expressed.}
Okay, though it doesn't explain how it will work outside of us, I'm okay with that for now.
"Okay, so system what are your functions?" I asked the robot inside my head.
{The system's function involves, body status, Quest, a level, and a Gacha. The system also has a simple currency, in forms of Bronze, Silver, and Gold the purpose of which will be explained in the Gacha section of the Unit.}
"Damn, you also have a Gacha?" My excitement grow further as the Ai keeps to talking.
Okay, calm down, Jeremiah. That could wait let's first look at my status, and see what my levels and stats are.
"System, open the status menu." I ordered.
{Certainly.}
A series of mechanical and robotic sounds rings in my head.
{Name:
Level: 15(above average human)
-Start-
Str(strength): 25+(enough to shutter concrete)
Int/Wis(intelligence/wisdom): 16+(enough to perform fast problem solving)
Vit(vitality):40+(can last to 110 years of life, and is immune to most diseases)
End(Endurance):40+(enough to endu6y torture)
CU(Cursed energy): 0+(currently zero)
-Skills/Traits-
Spearmanship(Expert)(Native)
Gunmanship(competent)(Non-native)
CQC(proficient)(Non-native)
--
"Why are my vitality and endurance bigger then other stat? And why is my Cursed energy zero? I thought that Humans have cursed energy, and what's up native and non-native things?"
{For the first question. You are a merge being, two souls merging yet one is cast aside, your body is stronger then most and your soul is bigger then most. The second question. Yes every human has cursed energy, what this stat shows is the limit of control of Cursed energy, while normal humans do have it, they do not have control over it. To increase this stat you must first unlock control over cursed energy. The third, is spearmanship is owned by Albert, while CQC and Gunmanship is yours. You understand now host?}
"I understand, but how could I unlock cursed energy? Is there any thing I should do? "
{You could gain Cursed energy manipulation through Gacha, and don't worry host is a guaranteed gain.}
{But, first you would need the currency, as this the first activition of the system You are given a mandatory Gold token, for this time only.}
I smiled, "Then what are we waiting for? Go to the Gacha section!"
