Transmigrate

------------December 25, 2023--------------------

On this joyful day, many people gather with their families to celebrate a Merry Christmas. Unfortunately for me, this wonderful day turned into a nightmare five years ago when my parents died in an accident. I was 12 years old at that time, and I am 17 today. I ended up living in an orphanage, managing as best as I could. It was at that time I discovered webtoons, manga, and anime.

I consumed so much of them that I couldn't tell the number of hours spent watching and reading, but there was one webtoon I loved more than anything, and that was "Wind Breaker." Even though I'm not a fan of cycling, I adored the webtoon—the character development, the evolution of their team "Humming Bird," and even the tournament scenes were gripping.

There were other webtoons I liked as well, such as Lookism, Reality Quest, Viral Hit, The Girl of Random Chatting. I think you've gathered, but I prefer webtoons set in an urban universe rather than those, let's say, more fictional.

Anyway, currently, I'm heading back to the orphanage after finishing my workday. Yes, I work on December 25th. After all, working on a holiday pays much better, and I have no one to celebrate Christmas with.

Suddenly, I see a truck speeding towards me. I tried to escape, but in vain... I died alone in the snow.

"Huh? Who am I? Raphael or Yeong-su?"

Ah, I see. After a few minutes of contemplation, I calmed down. I've actually been reincarnated, and not just anywhere. According to the memories in this body, I am in the second year at Sunny High School. I've seen Jay, but Shelly hasn't arrived yet. Regarding my family situation in this world? As shocking as it might seem, I am the adopted brother of Ha Dowan from the webtoon "Reality Quest." From his appearance, he hasn't unlocked his system yet, and he doesn't attend the same high school as me. I remember the previous owner of this body wanted to go to Sunny High to become a doctor to repay what his "mother" and late "father" did for him.

As for my appearance, I am quite tall. I stand at 6'1 (1.86m), with medium-length black hair and violet eyes, although I'm quite skinny for now.

[Ding! Host connection successful! Enhancement system activated!]

Honestly, after transmigrating into an anime world, I'm not shocked to have a system, especially since my brother is soon going to get one.

"System, what are you for?"

[I exist to make you a better version of yourself, host! Thanks to me, you'll be able to evolve in any discipline and improve at a monstrous speed!]

"I see... Do you have a status window?"

[Of course, host, here it is!]

[Name: Yeong-su (Raphael) Age: 17 Build: Skinny

Skill: None]

"System, where are my skills and status points?"

[Host, you have no skills. So it's normal that there's nothing. Regarding status points, you don't need them because your body will improve as you learn skills and their levels. But if you wish, I can display your status in number form.]

"System, please do."

[Name: Yeong-su (Raphael) Age: 17 Build: Skinny

Strength: F Agility: F Sturdiness: F Intelligence: A Potential: ∞

Skill: None]

"I feel more at ease seeing this, even if my physical stats are mediocre."

Checking the time, I realize it's almost time to eat, so I start preparing a typical Korean dish, kimchi.

[Acquisition of Cooking skill (F)]

After learning this skill, my movements became more fluid and confident, although the difference was minimal; it was noticeable compared to before.

As soon as I finished preparing the dish, my brother came home. I see him battered but also very happy, staring into space. No doubt, he got his system.

After finishing dinner, I spent some time talking with my brother, then both of us went to our rooms. Our mother wasn't at home because she was on a business trip.

The next day, I went to school by bus. On the way, I saw Jay Jo pedaling his bike at full speed. I wondered if it was possible to reach that speed with a bike, and my heart began to beat faster. Upon arriving at the high school, I noticed many people shocked as they looked at Jay, and I saw Minu smiling. It didn't take me long to understand that the story was starting.

After an exhausting day, I gained the skill [Study (F)].

Suddenly, I saw Minu pleading with Jay to ride a bike with him. From the corner of my eye, I also saw Dom flirting with Yunha, and Mina watching Jay with pink cheeks. I then rushed into a store named "The Bike Shop." There, I saw a pretty girl, I approached her, and she helped me choose a good bike. After getting my bike, I played the song 'Laisse' by the group PNL.

While singing along the road, I felt completely free, far from the trivialities of the world, feeling the gentle touch of the wind on my face and the music in my ears, I was in ecstasy.

[Cycling (F)] [The system senses the host's emotions [Cycling (E)]] [The system senses the host's emotions [Cycling (D)]]

Before the system's sound could resonate again, I had returned home, snapping out of my state. I suddenly felt very empty, as if something was missing. I believe that after all these years, I finally found something to attach the word "PASSION" to.
