Introduction.

Slowly, I feel my consciousness returning to my body. My eyes open gradually and quickly shut again because of the sunlight filtering through the trees. Wait? Trees? Slowly, I lift my aching body and sit on the ground. Looking around, I see that I'm in some sort of forest. The grass softly tickles my legs and hands, which are resting on it. A comforting, cool breeze passes by, lightly messing up my hair.

I try to remember what happened, but only a few flashes come to mind. I recall spending almost my entire life in a hospital bed. I remember my only pastimes were reading and watching anime/novels/fanfics. I remember my doctor telling me that my life was nearing its end. And finally, a last bit of comfort before everything went dark.

[ Congratulations! You've been given a second chance and were reincarnated by the goddess $%¨&*. As a reward, you've obtained the Jujutsu Kaisen Template System! ]

At first, I'm surprised by the voice suddenly appearing in my head. My first thought is that I hit my head when someone placed me here, but many of the stories and fanfics I read had the same kind of thing happening.

A wave of happiness surges in my chest, making a big smile spread across my lips.

"A system? Like those from the fanfics and novels I used to read? And reincarnated? Where did I reincarnate?" I ask aloud excitedly. I know I must sound like a crazy person talking to myself, but fortunately, there's no one here, and I'm truly happy about it.

[ Exactly, host. You've been given the opportunity to reincarnate into the world of Dungeon ni Deai o Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka?, also known as Danmachi. To answer your possible question, yes, the omniverse holds countless universes, so the anime/novels from your past life probably exist somewhere. As for your second question, I'm a system developed by the supreme being, using the world of Jujutsu Kaisen as a base. ]

"Ohhhh … I love the world of Danmachi. Sure, there are monsters and evil gods, but the idea of being an adventurer is exciting. Well, system, could you tell me about your functionalities, please?" I ask the system as I adjust myself to sit against a nearby tree.

[ The host's system has four functionalities. The part where the host can view their status, the inventory where the host can store their items, the mission system, and the template system. To explain, whenever a new host receives the Jujutsu Kaisen template system, they receive a blue-ranked template. A character is selected randomly and integrated with the host. With this, the host gains that character's abilities as the percentage of integration increases. The mission system is unlocked once the host reaches 100% of their first template. ]

[ Ding! Congratulations, host. For being the 1000000000000000000000th user of the Jujutsu Kaisen template system, in addition to the blue-ranked template, you've earned a gold-ranked template. ]

"Gold-ranked?! What luck! No, wait … System, what are the template ranks?"

[ Ding! The templates are: White, Blue, Purple, Silver, and Gold. ]

I have to control myself not to jump up and dance; after all, this is simply incredible. I'm really lucky, hehe.

"Please, system, use the templates to see which characters I'll get."

[ Ding! Templates used. Blue: Maki Zenin. Gold: Ryomen Sukuna. Congratulations, host. ]

"YES!!!" I can't contain myself and quickly stand up, jumping a little. This is amazing. Even the blue card is really good. Maki's combat style works great with Sukuna's powers. "Please, system. Integrate both templates, please."

[ Integrating Maki Zenin and Ryomen Sukuna templates into the host. 10% … 50% … 80% … 100%. Integration complete. Congratulations, host. ]

I close my eyes, feeling a wave of power surge through my body. The knowledge of weapon handling and combat from Maki, Sukuna's powers. But on closer inspection, I realize that many things haven't fully arrived yet. Hmm … it's probably due to the low integration percentage, as the system mentioned before.

"System, show me my status, please."

[ Status ]

[ Name: Anastasia Ivanov ]

[ Race: Hybrid Human/Cursed Spirit ]

[ Age: 16 ]

[ Strength: 5000 ]

[ Endurance: 7000 ]

[ Agility: 5000 ]

[ Dexterity: 5000 ]

[ Luck: 10000 ]

[ Mana (Cursed Energy): 10000 ]

[ Templates: Maki Zenin: 1% / Ryomen Sukuna: 1% ]

[ Maki Zenin: Superhuman Strength and Agility, Heightened Senses. ]

[ Ryomen Sukuna: Accelerated Regeneration, Dismantle, Cleave. ]

Got it, got it. So, I'll need to train and increase the percentage to unlock more abilities and Sukuna's full power. Hmm … alright. Let's start with some exercises to calibrate my strength, agility, and Maki's senses, and then Sukuna's Dismantle and Cleave.

This is going to be interesting.
