Chapter 1: King of Gangbuk

John's POV

[Do you want to change your life?]

It was a damn ad that kept appearing no matter how many times I closed it. I first thought it was a virus, but it was displayed on all my devices, not just my computer.

"I'll accept for now," I said in a tired tone.

[Please select your favorite fictional universe and if you know another reality, please put it if you desire that one]

"I don't know who you really are, but you won't gain anything by hacking me," I muttered, frowning.

I was sure it was an online hacker. I shouldn't have gone to sketchy sites to download my PC games, but I really didn't feel like buying games right now.

"There's the PTJ verse with a + next to it," I muttered, clicking on PTJ verse +.

[Now, please choose a power from the proposed options. You can also modify them, but they will then be adapted to the PTJ verse + by force]

I wanted to take the "no power" option, but I stopped. I remembered that there were fictional stories where protagonists started with various disabilities.

So I looked for a power I knew among those proposed. There were too many, so I pressed the "sort" option to keep only those related to healing.

I found things like regeneration and other abilities like that. After scrolling through my screen for a good minute, I came across something interesting.

"This one comes from the manhwa 'Sweet Guys'," I said, recognizing the power description.

I pressed the "modify" option. I directly started adding elements to the ability of the "Sweet Guys" protagonist and modified those that worried me, like his characteristic that made him passive.

"I think I've given a sufficient description," I said with a satisfied tone.

[Analyzing chosen power...]

[Rejected by administrators...]

[The ability has no negative points...]

[Launching ability readjustment...]

It seems I was too greedy, yet Daniel Park literally has a biologically perfect body.

[Modification complete]

[Name of the ability: Apollo's Blessing]

"Apollo?? Like the Greek mythology god?" I said, surprised.

[Description: The owner of this skill exudes a passive aura that makes people around him feel at ease and possesses a healing ability (physical and mental) that includes slight regeneration.

Important!!: The owner of this skill must be careful with their bodily fluids as they possess the properties of this blessing and he is also affected by this skill himself unless he wants to deactivate it on himself]

"In the end, the ability I got is just slightly different from that pervert," I said in a slightly conflicted tone.

I should just be careful with my blood, it's literally a multipurpose medicine.

[Please select the method of your reincarnation]

"Does this hacker really think he's a god or what??"

I couldn't help but frown, but I ended up following this jerk's instructions.

"I certainly wouldn't want to relive the experience of being a baby. I know!!"

I couldn't help but smile as I wrote the detail of my reincarnation. If I'm right, I'll have one more power.

[Do you really want to become Johan Seong??]

I clicked yes. I don't think I'll have health problems with Apollo's blessing.

"I'm starting to believe this is serious, haha"

*BOOM* Sound of the computer exploding and taking John's head through the window.

...

"Shit, I have a headache," I muttered, trying to open my eyes.

"Where am I? I remember I was filling out some questions and requests from..." As I thought about the last thing I did, I had a huge influx of information.

"Damn, it wasn't an online prank or a hacker," I said, realizing the situation.

I really reincarnated as Johan Seong, it's really crazy.

While I was still lost in my thoughts, I hadn't noticed that a nurse had entered the room.

"You're finally awake!!" she said excitedly before leaving.

"It seems I'll soon have visitors," I muttered, glancing at the door left open by the nurse.

"What's this thing," I said, grabbing an envelope next to my bed.

[If you're reading this, it means you've perfectly reincarnated into Johan Seong's body and, with a bit of luck, you've inherited his memories]

It seems it was possible that I could die again if I wasn't compatible with Johan's body.

[Know that all your possessions have been sold on Earth, you've received the money from the sale in your current bank account]

That's excellent news, I'm not completely broke.

[Don't worry about hospital fees, it's been paid by me under the identity of a benefactor who found you on a sidewalk]

[I really hope you won't waste this life with an ordinary life and goodbye!!]

After reading the last words, the sheet caught fire and simply disappeared as if by magic.

I looked around to see if there was anything else, but nothing apart from a credit card.

"An ordinary life?? In Lookism? Hahaha," I couldn't help but laugh after remembering the words in the letter.

"I'll live this life to the fullest," I muttered, looking towards the window.

I don't know how I'm going to deal with Johan Seong's old gang, but for now, I need to return to his mother.

"I need to go home, not only to save my money, but also so that mother can benefit from the effects of 'Apollo's blessing'"

I don't know why but I can feel Johan's desire to help his mother in me, it seems that Johan's memories weren't just a gain of strength.

I want to enjoy this life and make my own close ones, but I really want to help Johan's mother.

"Sir, see for yourself," declares the nurse.

"Indeed, he was able to regain consciousness," replies the doctor, clearly amazed.

...

After performing some examinations, the doctor declared that I was in great shape and that my physical condition was even enviable, he wanted to keep me for more tests.

But, I decided to leave the hospital the same day despite the doctor's protests and especially those of the nurses. It seems that "Apollo's blessing" had affected them.

I had observed that the nurses really appreciated being close to me. I'm literally a living anti-stress, so I could understand them.

I was currently wearing the cleaned clothes that Johan had after Gun abandoned him, as well as his crew.

This only reminds me of bad memories related to this body, I really need to change clothes.

"I wonder why I'm taking everything calmly since my reincarnation," I muttered, realizing this.

Normally, anyone would be stressed or depressed after learning they're far from home forever.

But surprisingly, I didn't panic. At best, I was surprised and I analyzed everything calmly without shouting or acting like an ordinary person would have reacted in my place.

"It's surely an effect of 'Apollo's blessing', it's supposed to heal even diseases related to mental state," I concluded mentally after reflection.

It's often said that stress isn't good for health. I suppose that without stress after my reincarnation, I was able to think calmly about the situation.

So I possess a version of the Gamer mind, I don't mind that.

"Hello sir, do you want something?" asks a young woman with a professional smile.

"I just want simple but comfortable clothes," I said after reflection.

Johan and I surprisingly had some things in common.

We appreciated simplicity and we hated unnecessary complications.

"Oh! I see, please follow me," she said, leading me to an area containing clothes that met my criteria.

I ended up buying more because of the compliments I was receiving from the saleswoman. It must be said that I don't receive many compliments before .

I now understand that Johan has a handsome face and that Apollo's blessing widens the gap between him and my former self even more.

I was able to pay thanks to the bank card I had found next to my bed when I woke up. It was right next to the letter from the person who reincarnated me.

"I'll have to find a job, but first, I need to see mother," I said without noticing that my eyes had a complex gleam in them.
