Transmigration

Alex suddenly opened his eyes,

The first thing he saw were three figures staring intently at him

'A bald man that looks like a Russian Hitman but with only one arm and two masked people,

So creepy ...'

Alex tried to take a step back, But he couldn't move

He looked around him and noticed that he was on the floor

His body felt heavy, Like really heavy, Just moving an inch felt like carrying a huge boulder

With difficulty, He moved one of his hands to touch the other hand, And what he felt shocked him

'What's this?'

It was like as if his hand was made of metal

'This ... Is this my body?'

He didn't have any skin, flesh or bone

'It's like I'm a piece of metal'

Alex felt terrified, But he tried to calm himself down

He looked at the three masked figures and asked

"What's going on?"

Silence

No one replied him, So he asked again

"Who are you people? And what the hell is happening? Where am I? And where -- No, What is this place?"

The three figures began talking with each other in a language that Alex had never heard before

*What's he saying, My lord*

*I have no idea, Do you think I'm a dictionary or what*

*What should we do?*

'What the hell are these people talking?

What's this gibberish? I can't understand anything'

Alex looked around him again

'Why is it so dark? and why are they wearing masks?'

"Is this a kidnap?" he asked

"..."

When he tried to think about the last thing he remembered, He realized that it couldn't be a kidnap

'Right ... I should be dead by now, Who would kidnap me?

My last memory is of going to sleep in the hotel'

'Could it be a dream?'

'But it feels too real to be a dream'

He looked at the three figures again

'These people don't seem like they speak English

There's no way foreigners have abducted me, But I just don't understand, Where am I?'

'Is this afterlife?'

Alex slowly tried to go back and move out of the circle, But something stopped him

He looked behind and saw the long-haired masked figure that was just in front of him standing behind him and stopping him from exiting the circle

"Woah ... You scared me, How did you get here so quickly?"

*You can't leave the formation, If you do, You die*

"What the hell are you saying?"

As there was no hope of communicating, The masked figure lost interest in Alex and stared at the bald man

The bald man suddenly moved forward and extended his remaining hand toward Alex's forehead

He then began to chant a spell

To Alex, It seemed as if the man was saying incoherent gibberish

White Light extended out of the bald man's hand and slowly seeped inside Alex's head

Alex tried to stop it but to no avail, The light just passed through his hand and continued to seep into his head

As more and more of the light entered his head, Alex began to feel as if his brain was becoming warm

The feeling was comfortable, So Alex stopped resisting

'Raising the hands of this heavy body is extremely tiring anyway'

'If I'm already dead then why should I struggle so much ...'

*What are you doing, My lord?* Asked Alpha

*It looks like he doesn't understand anything, I'm giving him knowledge about concepts, Or in simpler words, Teaching him speech* Replied the bald man

*Ohh, Really clever, My Lord*

*Alpha, I've done this hundreds of times in front of you, Yet, You think it's clever every time I do it*

*My apology my lord, I always forget the details*

*Never mind it*

Beta just stared at them

'They're always like this, Arguing over useless matters

Just help the poor soul quickly, He must be frightened'

The bald man was done, So he looked at Alex and asked

"Okay, It should be over now, Did I succeed?"

Alex was surprised

"Huh? Ahem? I - I can understand what you're saying"

The bald man spoke in a dignified voice

"Indeed, I too can understand what you're saying, Now if you don't mind, Remain inside the formation, It's important"

"Formation? What's that?"

The bald man pointed at the ground

"Look under you, Don't step out of it"

Alex looked down and saw a shiny circle

"Oh, That's a formation? What happens if I move out"

"You die"

"Die?"

"Die"

Alex fell into thought

'I thought I was already dead ...'

'Should I trust this man?'

'Wel, l it's not like I have any other choice, Right?'

He sighed

'First of all, Moving this body feels extremely tiring, And it's so weird, I do not feel anything,

I do not think it's possible to feel in metal, Yet, I'm feeling tired'

'It's like I'm breathless after running fast for a couple of minutes'

He looked at the three figures who were still staring at him

'I don't think they want to hurt me, They'd have done it already'

'This bald man did something weird to me that made me understand him as well'

'Maybe they are good people? ... I certainly hope so'

Alex tried to take a deep breath and have a meaningful conversation, But he quickly realized something

'I can't inhale ...'

'So weird'

The more he thought about it the stranger it became, So he just pushed the idea away and moved on

Alex looked at the bald man

'This seems to be the big boss here, Let me talk to him'

"Now that we understand each other, Can I ask you a couple of questions?"

The masked man interrupted with excitement

"Oh My Lord!, He's understanding the situation surprisingly well!!! That's a rare case"

After Alpha said that, He felt Beta glare at him,

He also noticed that both the Summoned person and the bald man were staring at him in confusion

He felt awkward, So he averted his gaze and silently took a step back

The bald man sighed and looked at Alex

"Never mind my follower, He's just excited

Let's get to the point, I'll answer your questions, But first, You answer mine,

I take it from your voice that you're a Man, Correct?

Although your voice seems more manly, The object you're in isn't really designed to make us listen to your voice, So it might be coming out differently"

Alex asked in confusion

"Object? What is that object?"

"A pseudo body" Said The bald man

"A Mannequin" Said Alpha

"A Homunculus" Said Beta

The 3 looked at each other and then the Bald Man scratched the back of his neck in embarrassment
