Transmigration.
"pfft, I got sand in my Mouth. *Cough* *Cough* My eyes!!" I Coughed and spit a few times before the sand was off my face. How did the sand even get in my room though?
I briefly managed to catch a glimpse of the ocean blue water right In front of me, I crawled towards it, scratching my knee against the fine sand grains. As I reached the water I formed a makeshift utensil if my hand and put the water in my eyes.
"AHHH, MY EYE IT BURNS!!" I screamed as the oceanic salty water entered into my eyes. The combined with the fine grains of the sand, they were practically bleeding.
*Ping* *Ping* *Ping*
"Ah, that's a lot better." I said as the pain eventually resided in after a couple of few minutes, the sand grains were also collected at the edges of my eyes.
I looked around myself, I was in a beach somewhere, maybe San Diego? I looked around myself, finding no Familiar structure or recollection of how I got here or when I got here.
*Ping*
[System Activation- 99%]
[System Activated Successfully.]
The fuck, I had a system. I mentally screamed in joy, yet I got depressed as I realised I had probably passed in my last life, I had no recollection Whatsoever of my previous life, perhaps I had a lover or did I die a virgin?
The knowledge of all the things except my life were intact, Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell. Yup! Even death cannot make me forget that fact. A, B, C, D... Z. I know the alphabet aswell.
Hmm, Luffy unlocked Gear 5 and won against kaido, yop still remembered anime clearly. I hummed for a few seconds before realising I held no recollections of my previous name.
"Well, I'll be going Nameless for now I guess." I said to no one in particular. I looked down at my long legs, they were skinny an had small hairs growing. Hmm, I am still a teen in puberty perhaps.
I inspected the rest of my body, my arms were also moderately hairy and my chest didn't have any thing, I seemed to be growing a moustache. My body was sickly white, almost pale and my face seemed to be angular.
Stretching the elastic pants I was wearing, I looked down, Damn I was packing. The bush didn't seem to be too big though, just enough for my liking.
I observed my surroundings, the flip flops I was wearing made a loud slapping sound everytime I took a step, that was annoying to say the least.
[Quest- View the System, Unlocked.
Task: View and understand the System.
Rewards: Random Weapon, Random Active skill, Random cosmetic item, +1 to Constitution.]
[Would Host like to view the system?]
The system asked me.
"Um yes?" I told the system, Having a system should insure my survivability in this dangerous world thankfully. I just need to live a healthy life, find a wife perhaps and maybe get a few children.

Three quests currently huh, I can probably complete the first one pretty quickly but I would need someone reliable to choose as my first mate, I wouldn't want a potential or motivation less person as my first mate. Speaking of potential, I likely would have some fucking bullshit low ass potential for shits and giggles.
I opened the next section on the menu. An inventory.
[Inventory]
A window popped up with several slots, roughly a hundred if I multiplied the rows and columns correctly. The maximum volume for one slot seems to be a single cubic metre. Not bad for a system.
I clicked the last option.
[Skills:
Brawling- Level 1
Haki- Level 1]
The two skills present there were about haki and Brawling. Pretty unimpressive.
*Ping*
Quest: View the System, Completed.
Task: View and understand the System.
Rewards: Random Weapon, Random Active skill, Random cosmetic item, +1 to Constitution, Obtained.]
[Active skill: Flash, Acquired.]
I instantly felt a little stronger upon the completion of the quest, likely because of the increase in my constitution. My muscles seemed to accommodate to the change and grew slightly.
I opened the skills tab to check out my new skill, the active skills section was a little seorate than the normal skil section.
[Active skills
1) Flash: Increases Your Dexterity and Agility by 50% for 5 seconds, coolddown-12 Seconds ]
I wistled upon reading the skill description, a versatile skill which might be useful in more than one instance.
I wondered where the rewards of the quest were, until I realised I had an inventory. I opened the inventory option and looked at the items in it.
[Inventory:
1) Dual Daggers- Quality 6/10
2) Eyepatch- Quality 9/10
Trait: See though, gives +5 increase to Will power.]
A pair of daggers and an eye patch, I touched the dagger.
[Equip?
Yes/No]
'Yes!' I thought, two daggers appeared in my hand, they were silvery white in colour and were slightly curved. These should last me a while.
Put the Daggers back in my inventory and equipped the eye patch, I felt a fire growing bright inside me, a warmth instantly flooding my body, as I instantly unequipped the eye patch, the flame soaring inside me was reduced to an ember.
I equipped the eyepatch back on, it felt better this way, I could see through it too.
I walked out of the beach, an eye patch strapped to my face and my hair to the side.
(Imagine Euron Greyjoy from A song of Ice and fire books, without the beard.)
The place I was on seemed to be an island or I was in a bay, the majority of the island seemed to be a tropical island, palm trees and yellow beaches.
As I walked and walked for the majority of the day, around the tropical forest, I saw a small dock on the side. A port perhaps?
My stomach seemed to be grumbling from the hunger, I walked towards what appeared to be a small pirt city.
There were small houses and small sail boats near the dock, fishing seemed to be the main business in this village and banana trees seemed to grow everywhere around the city.
I saw a man carrying a small crate filled with mangoes, which seemed to be juicy and delicious, my stomach grumbled upon seeing the delicious fruit.
"Hey, pal. Do you have any work around here?" I asked the man carrying the crates, he looked at me and raised an eyebrow.
"If you're looking for jobs, my friend James is looking for workers in his fishing ship." The man told me.
"Where can I find this friend of yours?" I questioned the man.
"Go to the docks and ask any fisherman, he is well Known around these parts." The man told me before resuming his duties.
"Thanks." I thanked the man before walking towards the docks.
The docks of the port city wa sfileld with several boats and ships, everyone of them carrying fish as well as several goods from other islands.
The wodden planks of the dock creaked as I walked towards a fisherman.
"Hey, Old man." I called an older looking gentleman, he was carrying a barrel of fish. He dropped it on the ground.
"What do you want kid?" The old man questioned me.
"Where can I find this man named James?" I asked him, he hummed for a second before pointing a seemingly medium sized sail boat on one of the docks.
"That's his boat, you'll meet him there." He told me. I thanked the old man.
I walked towards the sail boat, the design was similar to medieval ships, this was a seemingly medieval world afterall.
"What do you want kid?" A fisherman asked me as I inspected the boat.
"I am looking for a man named James, I heard he needs people for his ship." I told the man, he chuckled.
"Well kid you certainly found that Man named James." The man, now identified as James said with a chuckle.
"Hmm, So will you let me work on your ship?" I asked James.
"You can, do you have any prior experience?" James asked me. I shook my head, I knew how ships and sails worked so it couldn't be that hard, could it?
"No, But I know how Sails as well as Navigation works ." I told him, navigation was really easy, you just need a good old trusty compass, wait am I in the grandline? It is possible that compasses don't even work where I am.
"Wait where are we again?" I asked the man, he tilted his head comically in confusion.
"Banana island East blue." The man told me, who the fuck names an island after a fucking fruit.
"The year?" I asked thean with curiosity.
"Do you live under a rock or something?" James asked me, His eyebrow raised.
"No, I have amnesia." I told him, he nodded in understanding. Thankfully amnesia exists in this world.
"It's the year 1504 of the sea calendar." The man told me, If the year is 1504 then I must be here four years after the pirate king's death.
"Thanks, What kind of work do you have available?" I asked him, shortly after thanking him. He thought for a second and gave the answer to my question.
"Cooking, throwing and pulling fishing nets, Turning the sails and navigating." He told me the jobs he had in his ships.
"I can do a few if those." I told him, he nodded.
"But before you join us, state your name." James told me, I became nervous, a bead if sweat rolled down my forehead.
"I, Uh, Call me Greyjoy." I told the man, he raised an eyebrow before a grin appeared on his face.
"Boys, Welcome our newest recruit, Greyjoy!!" James shouted as he pushed me towards the rope ladder involuntarily.
I climbed the roap ladder as the captain of the ship pushed from behind. Making me tumble into the deck.
"Greyjoy, Why is your name GreyJoy?" A sailor asked me while drinking a mug of booze, Likely beer.
"Well, Uh I like... it?" I told him, he laughed before patting my back and handing me a mug.
'I already feel my future-self's regret.' I thought as I looked at the sailors, they were just glorified pirates.
