Chapter 1 - Transmigration (2) [Edited]

After my consciousness was back, I opened my eyes and saw a ceiling that felt foreign... And also somewhat familiar.

That contradictory feeling was very strange. I couldn't help but feel a little spooked.

I managed to push aside my discomfort and moved my eyes to look around me. My confusion intensified as I saw a Japanese style room.

I was sure that my room was not Japanese style... Or was it? Again, that contradictory feeling appeared!

'What's going on?' I wondered in my mind.

I tried to remember what happened before I went to bed and fell asleep. It was then that I realized two sets of memories in my mind.

I checked the memory which I was sure that it was not mine. If I had to describe the foreign memory I felt, it felt disconnected as if I were watching someone's life story from the first point of view.

I didn't know how long I lay in the mattress, a Japanese futon to be precise, when I checked the new foreign memories. However, I came to a startling realization once I finished checking them and remembered my latest memory before waking up here.

'So that was real! I actually transmigrated as Yuuya Tenjou!' I thought incredulously.

On top of my incredulity, I was excited. Nay, my emotions and feelings were beyond a simple excitement!

However, when my body moved due to my emotions, I felt pain all over my body, rendering me unable to move without agony.

"Ouch! Fuck!" I cursed loudly as pain ran through my body.

For a moment, I wondered why my body hurt. I immediately found out the reason after checking the memory I got.

'Ah! Dammit! I forgot what happened to the original protagonist in the beginning when I asked to be sent around this time!' I blamed my own recklessness and foolishness in my mind.

How could I forget that the original protagonist was beaten severely in the beginning of the story? If I didn't forget about this matter, I would ask for another time to be sent here!

As a wise person once said: "hindsight is twenty-twenty."

There was nobody to blame except for me. Thus, I could only accept this suffering due to my own carelessness.

Even so, I didn't stop complaining, "Those shitheads really did numbers on this body..." I huffed in rage while squirming in my futon, "Just you wait, assholes! I would pay everything back ten, no, one hundred folds!"

The targets of my anger were Takeshi Araki and his gang, who had beaten up the original protagonist badly yesterday, according to the memories. Since I took over, I was the one who went through this miserable state.

By the way, Takeshi Araki and his gang were the only targets of my vengeance, and only them. It's true that those guys weren't the only ones who mistreated the original protagonist, but he and I were different people.

Even though I got memories of the original protagonist, as I explained earlier, those memories felt foreign and disconnected. In other words, they didn't affect me much.

Therefore, I have no grudge against the original protagonist's parents and younger twin siblings. But still, I didn't want to have any relationship with them after seeing the memories of the original protagonist.

For you who want me to go into an indiscriminate massacre, well, too bad, you won't get it here! I'm not like those over the top xianxia protagonists who indiscriminately massacred a sect or a clan, even dogs and chicken not spared!

I'm not a psychopath, so I won't do it! In fact, those edgy protagonists make me cringe!

Anyway, I stopped complaining once I remembered my Ability Creation. It was then that I felt something akin to hope.

'Since I'm really here as Yuuya Tenjou, I should have that cheat ability as well!'

I thought that, after which I searched for something in my mind, hoping that the voice left the tutorial or something to use it.

Thankfully, my wish came true. I had the information about how to use it in my mind.

'So, I just need a strong desire to create a new ability. Well, I'll create the ability to tolerate this pain. No, I will create the ability to heal from any wounds no matter how severe in an instant!'

After making that decision, I felt something that couldn't be described in words. If you really want to know, it felt like something "clicked" in my mind.

On top of that, information about my new ability also appeared in my mind. Alas...

'This ability requires magic power to function...dammit! I don't have the magic power required to use it!' I complained in my mind while keeping my body still to stop aggravating my injuries.

In the end, I created an ability that helped me endure the pain running through my body.

Once I created that ability, I could feel the effect in an instant. The pain lessened until it became dull and bearable.

After that, I checked my body and found out that it was fat and short. Even though I'd prepared for this outcome, I was still surprised.

'Having a new body different from my original one feels really weird,' I thought as I examined my body.

Once I finished examining my new body and made sure there were no problems, I moved my attention to another matter.

Even though the pain all over my body was more bearable, it was still bothering me. In the end, being healthy is the best!

'I have to fix this situation first before tackling other matters,' I decided in my mind.

After that, I thought about creating an ability that could give me magic power to empower my instant recovery ability.

'I think something like the Magicule Breeder Reactor from Tensura will do.' After thinking this, I immediately created the ability I thought of.

What I got was a different ability. Still, it had the same function with the Magicule Breeder Reactor.

Unfortunately, there was something I didn't consider when I created it...

I felt the sign of the ability created, but before I could celebrate, something happened. I felt something swelling inside me and went out through the pores of my skin, and soon, the air became heavy because my magic power saturated everything.

"Oh shit!" I panicked.

It was scary because I was not able to control my magic power that kept increasing. I tried to control my overbearing magic power to no avail.

Fortunately, I was able to create an ability in the middle of my panic. I created the ability to control my magic power, but...

"This ain't working!" I shouted hysterically.

Although I was able to control my magic power, the air around me was still heavy from being over-saturated by my overbearing magic power that kept generating endlessly. Thus, I decided to create an ability to conceal the sensation of my magic power.

"It worked!" I cheered in relief and happiness once the heavy sensation disappeared.

Anyway, how should I say it... It was a terrifying and exhilarating experience, to tell you the truth. Nevertheless, I realized that the pain all over my body had gone.

It seems, the cuts and bruises that filled my body had healed due to the instant recovery that finally worked due to being empowered by my magic power.

Even though my condition had improved, I still held a grudge against Takeshi Araki and his gang. I would still get back on them.

Yes, I am a vindictive person. Got a problem with that?

Putting my grudge aside, I wanted to know about the abilities I created so far. Of course, their information was there in my mind, but I recalled that the original protagonist could examine his status and appraise stuff, so I wanted to do it as well.

Granted, I could get the Appraisal skill once I became the master of the Door, but I wanted to do it right then. Hence, I created an ability to do it.

Once I created an ability called Analysis, I examined myself. Right after that, a holographic screen popped up in my field of vision.

'Holy tits! That thing just popped up suddenly!'

I couldn't help but flinch when the screen appeared just like that. However, I quickly regained my composure and started to examine the content displayed on the holographic screen.
