I'm Lucian Barnes.
An ordinary model student
Well, that used to be my life.
But now—
I'm in the novel I read to spend time.
How did I get here?
Well, let's take it back to what happened before I got here.
***
I was walking to school.
When I saw a cat in the road at first, I didn't care, as I didn't really like animals, so I just left it there.
But a little girl suddenly went to the cat. Like, doesn't she know it's in the middle of the road?
I was angry, but she's just a child, and people were just watching them, and they're even taking a video.
People these days are doing anything for popularity.
As I looked around to see if there were cars, and I didn't find any, I went to the road to fetch the girl and the black-colored cat.
And that's where my life ended.
Moments later a truck was moving at 105 mph.
And that's how my life ended. Well, that was supposed to happen, but when I woke up, I wasn't in heaven or hell.
At first I thought I was at a hospital, but some time passed and still nothing.
And some time passed I learned that I was at a singular void of nothingness.
When a voice woke me up
Gift awakened
- Sacrifice: You can sacrifice anything you own for power for a limited time or a permanent sacrifice.
- You were killed, so as a payment we will take your ability to feel negative emotions, and the equivalent power you receive is transmigration.
I saw a blue screen with some words that didn't make sense to me. I was about to ask, What's this about? when my vision blurred.
…
When I woke up, I found that I was in an abandoned castle—well, that was what I thought I was in.
I don't know where I am, but I feel that my body is strange, like I'm feeling uncomfortable moving around.
I think it's just because I just woke up and dreamt of that strange blue screen.
But I saw a mirror. Yes, I found a mirror in an abandoned castle—well, a broken mirror, perhaps.
When I looked up in the mirror, I was flabbergasted. This isn't my face; this isn't even remotely close to my face, but yeah, this guy looks handsome.
I was feeling strange. Why am I not panicking when I'm in another person's body?
That's when I remembered that blue screen thing. It said it took my ability to feel negative emotions.
Did my negative emotions really disappear? But if I remember correctly, it said it transmigrated me? So this body is the one I transmigrated with?
A blue screen suddenly appeared again.
Would you like the memories of your life here?
Y/N
When I saw this, I didn't really feel scared or nervous.
Having my negative feelings really disappear is strange, but I started liking this. If I had this in my school days, I would probably study more.
I pressed yes.
Moments later, memories of this body's life became mine, or my memories became his. I don't know, as our personalities were the same.
And I was quite excited. If I had my negative feelings, I should have been nervous and scared because I transmigrated into the novel I read for fun.
'I became the academy's extra.' Same as me, the MC transmigrated, and unlike me, he got cheats while I don't. Well, that's a bummer.
But I got a cheat of my own. Instead of reincarnating as an extra like him, I reincarnated as the younger brother of the academy headmistress.
And even with my negative emotions gone, I feel scared knowing that I left home for a month and I'm in a dungeon right now, and I didn't even say where I am going to, sis.
Well, I'm screwed. If I'm already screwed, let's just take my time. The academy starts in another week anyway. What could my sister do to me anyway?
In the novel the headmistress didn't really have a brother, but now I exist. I'm an anomaly in this world, but do I care?
I mean, I don't really know why I need to attend the academy, but I just feel like it.
And perhaps because I'm excited about the apocalypse happening in 10 years
Now that I remember I'm in an F-rank dungeon, I came here because I felt that I needed to come here, and kaboom, my past life memories came after coming here.
"Let's check my stats"I'm excited knowing I'm already a genius before my transmigration, so what now that I have another gift?
Status:
Name: Avery Kaiser
- Race: Half human/half elf
-Blessings: ???
-Class: ???
-Gift: Sacrifice, Enchant
- Rank: F
-STR:F
-SPD: F+
-STM: F
-Mana: F+
-Charm: C+
-Physique: ???
"Oh, my stats are quite good, just on par with the hero of this world. Well, the MC is weak right now, probably in last place."
I already cleared this dungeon, but I'm too scared to go back home, so I'll just stay here and train before coming back.
I'll come back just the day before the academy. Like, what could my sister do if there's an entrance ceremony? What could she do? Lock me up just because I didn't ask for permission to go to a dungeon.
I didn't check what my enchant gift does. Let's see if it's good.
- Enchant: anything you touch can be enchanted. You can enchant a pencil to become the strongest sword, but every enchant costs a lot of mana.
was fascinated by the gift. Enchant sacrifice was already a strong gift, but enchant—wow! So if he had a lot of mana, anything could become powerful.
If I enchant sacrifice, wouldn't that be too OP? Just imagining it is wow.
Ok, better train; there's still a week left.
Can I get Rank C before the academy? I want to be ranked 1st anyway, so becoming rank C is a must. The hero is already at rank C, so if I'm ranked before the academy starts, I'll probably be ranked 2nd, which I don't like.
