Chapter 1: Chapter one

My head right now was spinning, it was like thousands of needles were simultaneously drilled into it and the pain it caused was unbearable, if not for some force that was helping me, I would have died again. 

 

Ah, yes the last thing that happened to me was getting killed by a speeding truck. Well that's how I remember it. 

 

The situation was like the clichéd pre isekai adventure you would think of, your average guy trying to save someone then getting killed as a result and then either transmigrating or getting reincarnated in a fantasy world. 

 

We all have read those novels and wished for something like that to happen, I did not. 

 

But did the universe gave any fucks about that? well it didn't because the face that I am looking at right now and the things she had been saying are too much to accept for the old me. 

 

What really happened after I transmigrated? Is the previous owner still present or did he die like me? These things don't matter now do they? My headache was getting worse and to divert my mind I decided to bite my tongue, which was not a good thing as blood came in and now my body was feeling physical pain too. 

 

"Are you okay?" asked the girl sitting next to me though from her tone anyone could tell it was not out of care or anything but filled with disgust and disdain. 

 

"I am fine." My reply was also indifferent and somehow it made her face twitch. 

 

Well let me explain the current situation, we are sitting in a restaurant which has a medieval theme to it. All the modern things that you would like are present but with a castle era touch though I was not in a mood to appreciate any of them because of the person sitting next to me. 

 

Her name, from the new memories that were gushing in my head told me it was Lily and I have to say that her appearance was godly, long shining blonde hair, blue-green eyes which contained stars in them or maybe that was my imagination, her face looked like it was sculpted by Aphrodite herself and lastly the odour that was exuding from her. All of this made her the perfect girl, well that could have been true for anyone except me.

 

Why do you ask? I myself am not sure about that as the memories of the previous owner are still being processed inside my head but from the tids and bits of the things that have been available to me, this girl Lily is my childhood friend and somehow that proceeded to her being my fiance.

 

Shit the pain is coming back, this is not good, I need a silent place to rest and get this sorted out otherwise whatever little sanity that has been left in me would go away and that’s not a good thing is it?

 

I got up from my place and ran outside not hearing her complaints or the fact that everyone present in the restaurant was looking at us, what greeted me outside was blinding sunlight and it made my head a little dizzy but this open atmosphere was much better than the suffocating and pressurised oven I was put into.

 

“Breath, just breath.” I chanted this mantra and followed the ritual.

 

This is much better, I told myself and looked at the surroundings which to be honest blew me away. If you are proud of the technological wonders of the twenty-first century and are used to the skyscrapers that adorn the cities then the view ahead of me was something picturesque.

 

Small buildings only one or two storey laced with bright colours stretching on a street that came out straight from your grandma’s old house and the sky was blue, no it was too much blue. This was something impossible back home, thanks to global warming and carbon dioxide emissions but my eyes were not lying to me were they? There was a huge signboard mid air flying on it’s own and on it ‘Origin City’ was written, the entire scene looked like a fairy tale, like how developers build an open world for a game.

 

A fucking game it is.

 

‘Origin’ was the latest game added in the RPG market, it was created by some Japanese studio and the game took the market by a storm like nothing else. Did it revolutionise something? No it was your run of the mill open world with different races and a protagonist who goes to an academy and achieves OP abilities and gathers a harem of extraordinary beauties from all the races,some allies from here and there and then proceeds to defeat the bad guy and Yay the game ends. So how did it become such a legend? Well the thing is it used VR not just your regular VR in the 2020 but something from the future as you could use your five senses in the game and the gameplay felt absolutely real like a open world adventure. In short it was surreal and I also had the chance to try it. 

 

Why am I thinking about a game in the middle of the city when my head is on the verge of exploding? Because somehow I have transmigrated into that exact game and the worst part is I am not the protagonist or the main villain heck not even a mob character, my destiny had made me the pitiful side villain, the first stepping stone for the protagonist who defeats me in a duel for the same girl who is my fiance and my life and career ends.

That was what happened in the game, Akira was the first bad guy that the protagonist comes across and defeats. Shortly after his defeat Akira takes his life because of the amount of ridicule he and his family had to go through. In the game it was an enjoyable arc, you get to be the shining hero who saves damsel in distress and no one thinks about Akira as he was supposed to be defeated and then everyone forgets about him and life goes on.

 

But I don’t have that luxury, do I? Being stuck with someone who was going to be humiliated very soon is certainly not a good thing but it looks like I got no choice and might as well try it when we are here.

 

After staying like that for a few minutes the pain subsidised and I was going back in the restaurant but she came first and by the looks of it she was fuming in anger not that I care or something but some part of me wanted to run and comfort her, apologise to her and listen to whatever she has to say, those must be the feelings of the real Akira lingering in me affecting my decision making ability. 

 

Sorry mate but if you keep doing that then it’s only death that is waiting for both of us and I certainly don’t want to die again. As she comes towards me my heart starts thumping harder and harder, those feelings of love and care of the previous owner are screaming at me to run and go to her but I can’t allow that, even if you liked her and wanted to stay by her side it’s got nothing to do with me. Damn these feelings are going berserk in my mind and body.

 

“What do you think you were doing back there? You left me alone in that place and didn’t come back.” She yelled at me and I kept looking at her face with nothing more than an indifferent attitude.

 

“You-you… I have told you Akira, I don’t want to marry you so why don’t you understand? Even my own parents want me to marry you. Why does no one understand?” She gets more angry over my silence and starts making a scene in front of everyone but somehow everyone is looking at me with the same disgust and whispering to each other.

 

“Fine.” I sighed and said, not wanting to continue this farce.

 

“What?” She asked with confused eyes.

 

“If you don’t want to marry me then don’t, I will annul the engagement and talk to your parents.”

 

Both of our parents were in the same adventurer party and one night when completely drunk they promised each other to marry their children when they grow up. Akira and Lily were childhood friends and at start everything was picture perfect, both of them were inseparable and their parents had to try everything just to separate them from each other.

 

Down the line, Lily showed great abilities and got the innate gift of a Sword saint while Akira didn’t have any. Slowly the rift between them got wider and wider and now it had reached to the point where she hated him, maybe that incident back then had something to do with this.

 

Akira tried his best but that was not enough, he only had his intelligence to supplement for and even that amounted to nothing extraordinary. So when he saw that the difference between them became this wide, he became something like a stalker always following her, irritating her and acting like a proud arrogant prick just to win her attention and it backfired because she started loathing him even more.

 

These were the memories of him and Lily that were getting into his mind and that’s why he failed to notice her shocked face.

 

“Are you joking with me Akira? You are going to annul the engagement? Hahaha, what a joke, tell me is this a new way of getting my attention?” She couldn’t believe it, not in this life that Akira would annul their engagement and let her go.

 

‘Sigh’

 

“Look I am sorry, for everything that happened I am genuinely sorry and now I have understood that this engagement is not something you want so be it, you are free to do whatever you want.” 

 

I didn’t wanted to stay at that place any longer because my self restraint was wearing off and real Akira’s feeling were taking over me, it was like we were two souls in one body but mine was the dominant one, this is bad, everytime I think about her the love,care and other feelings wash over me influencing my rationality.

 

After leaving a stunned Lily behind, I decided to take some rest and for that you need a place. Akira had his home somewhere in the Origin city but I didn’t know that, not yet. Focusing on his memories of this city I found the route to his no mine house and went towards me thinking,
