Teenage Body is the Best

????????, 270 AC.

1 day after the sinking of the ship

"Cough Cough"

I woke up with incredible pain in my lungs. Each breath hurts more than the last.

For fifteen minutes, I endured this pain. It is not gone, but I can stand for it. Why would my lungs hurt?

I was busy with my project until late last night. My project won't make me the richest in the world, but it will allow me to laze until the day I die.

Headache, neck, and lower back pain, insomnia. I'm okay with all of them. But, instead of all of them, I have lung pain? I do not know the reason.

I did not know the reason until I look around the place I woke up. The sea, the sand, and the sky. I am on a beach. A vacation from all my work would have made me happy, provided I knew how I got here. I am confused. The only conclusion I can come to is that I've been kidnapped. However, I am not worth kidnapping.

Maybe my project got unwanted attention. Yet, I did not share it with anyone. Was I being watched? Hello Big Brother...

My confusion grew even more with my ability to see clearly. Since I was a kid, I used glasses. Now, I can clearly see anything without wearing anything. Far or close, does not matter.

No neck pain, and clear vision. God blessed me. Let the scientists explain this, please.

I was shocked once again when I tried to check my pockets. I have pretty and small hands. Did my gender change too? Everything is fine but not this. With a quick check, I proved my worries were in vain.

Thank God.

If I still do not understand my situation, that means I wasted my teenage years. Right now, I am inside of a new body. A young one. Still, I do not know how I get here. I am transmigrated to a new body, and maybe a new world by some unknown power. Or every person experiences the same after they die, but I didn't forget my memory.

Still, why would I get this chance? Should it not be a young hot-blooded high schooler, so that he/she adept new world without questioning?

The unfamiliar surroundings and the youthful energy of the young body left me oddly intrigued. With a bit of curiosity, I decided to embark on a journey to unravel the mysteries of this newfound body and land.

Navigating through the dense wilderness proved to be a challenge even with my new energy tank body. I maneuvered through thick foliage, crossed a river, and scaled treacherous hills.

Minutes turned into hours as I ventured deeper into the wilderness, guided solely by my instinct. And then, as if perfectly arranged, I stumbled upon a clearing that revealed the remnants of a magnificent castle in the distance. Of course, I knew that there should be something more than wilderness. Except, if the concept of my transmigration is not survival.

Approaching the castle, a surge of excitement coursed through my veins as I quickened my pace, eager to explore the secrets that lay within. Its weathered walls and crumbling structure spoke of a glorious past long forgotten. The sight filled me with awe and wonder. Each step brought me closer to the ancient structure.

As I stepped foot inside the castle grounds, I couldn't help but imagine the lives that once thrived within these walls. I envisioned noble lords and elegant ladies, their laughter and merriment echoing through the grand halls. Now, silence reigned, broken only by the whispers of the wind.

Driven by an insatiable curiosity, I ventured further, navigating through the labyrinthine corridors and exploring every decaying chamber. I found nothing but decay.

My journey reached its zenith when I stumbled upon a hidden chamber concealed deep within the castle's recesses. Its door groaned in protest as I entered, revealing an empty room. Except for the middle, which contains an altar-like structure. Compared to the size of the huge room, it looked so small. I approached the altar, the last unexplored place in this castle.

There stood a red stone that shines wonderfully. If I do not see it wrong, it is also shaking as if it is greeting me. What a nice stone, hello to you too.

I walk to it and tried to take it in my hands. The moment I touched it, my eyes darkened.

'It was a trap!' was my last thought before I lost consciousness.
