Chapter 3 System

As Rain found out that he was really transmigrated, he was quite shocked. After all, who would think that this thing can happen in real life too.

Rain stood in front of the mirror, gazing in amazement at the reflection staring back at him. He had just laid eyes on his new body for the first time and was in awe.

He started observing his appearance in the mirror because he wanted to see his new face in detail.

While examining his features in the mirror, he thought.

'It's me? Really, it's me.' Rain touched his face. His skin felt smooth and soft.

Even though Rain's figure in his previous life was above average, he knew that it can't be compared to his new appearance. This body was that much perfect.

Standing at around 180 cm tall, he wasn't particularly tall, but he still had a good height. His shiny black hair had a hint of brown shade to it, and it cascaded down in soft waves.

His face was striking with sharp curves that gave off a cold impression. His skin was blemish-free, and it was quite pale, adding to his overall look of elegance. Rain could hardly believe his luck; he had never seen himself so attractive before

Although Rain was not a fan of looks, it wasn't a bad thing to have.

After admiring his new physique for some time, Rain started thinking about his current situation.

Rain thought he should calm down. He tried to remove every useless thought from his mind and calm himself.

He took some deep breaths and calmed down himself.

'Who am I?

Where am I?

Why did I spend a full half day in bed?'

There were countless questions in Rain's mind but not a single answer.

'Why am I sounding like some cliche protagonist of some third-rate Reincarnation novel?'

'It's extremely unpleasant.

If I am now in this body, then what happened to the former owner of this body?

Did he die?

If yes, then who killed him?

I must know.'

As a guy who had read fiction novels. Rain knew what happen in these scenarios.

Suddenly, Rain had a thought.

'Let's check to see if I have any cheats first. Let's meditate.'

He believed that a calm mind was the key to accessing his ability or figuring out what kind of ability he had.

With this in mind, he sat on his bed and folded his legs into a cross shape. Placing the back of his hand on his legs, he closed his eyes and began to meditate, focusing on his breath and letting his thoughts pass by like clouds.

As he entered a state of deep relaxation, he hoped that the answers he sought would come to him.

After a while, nothing happened.

'Yeah. It's really unpleasant.'

[...]

Then Rain overheard a noise. That surprised him.

'What was that sound?'

[Appropriate Host found.]

[Beginning the system binding...]

Rain quickly understood after hearing these details. Soon some fantasies began to take shape in his mind.

'Looks like I have transmigrated in some cliche novel. Now I am getting some parasite-like system too.'

Rain was quite excited. Never in his boring life, something like this had happened.

'Let's consider what kind of novel's world this is for the time being.

Urban? Wuxia? Fantasy? modern setting?'

He began to scan his surroundings.

Based on his analysis of his surroundings, it might be a modern fantasy novel's world. But it may also be another world novel's world.

'Like I attend an op academy where I study sword and magic. Demons will appear to trouble the MC and also get beaten up by the MC. The Protagonist will create his harem. So intriguing.'

But eventually, he awoke from his daydreams.

'Wait.

Which novel world may this be, if this is a novel world?

I've read a few novels, and I am aware that I have been transmigrated.

But will it be one of the novels I read or something different?'

[35% System Bounding..]

Observing this, Rain pondered.

'So slow.'

'Perhaps this system is just garbage?'

[It is advised to the Host that he shouldn't poke fun at the system.]

'Oh, I guess it can read my thoughts like mentioned in those novels. Interesting.' Rain smirked, he was quite fascinated by this setting.

'What if I do, then?' Rain tried to provoke the system, he was curious about what the system would do to him.

[Then, System will take several actions to convince the host of the system's might.]

Rain interpreted this as a joke.

'What even can you do?' Rain raised his eyebrows and asked in return cockily.

Unfortunately, it didn't last long.

Suddenly, he felt a sudden jolt of electricity course through his body. The shock was powerful, and it caused his muscles to contract involuntarily, making him cry out in pain. His heart raced, and he felt a surge of adrenaline shoot through his veins.

For a moment, everything went black, and he felt disoriented and confused. As his senses slowly returned, he realized that he was lying on the bed, and his body was twitching involuntarily.

'Aaarhhh…'

The pain was excruciating, and Rain struggled to catch his breath. He tried to get up, but his body felt weak and unresponsive.

Rain tried to control his voice but the pain was hard to bear.

'This system shocked me with electricity. Are you behaving toward me in a mentally ill patient manner? You shit system.' There was frustration in the eyes of Rain.

[Language Host.]

....

'It's still happening, this garbage system.'

....

'Aarhhh'

Following a few electric shocks, the system stopped its punishment.

"..."

.....

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Rain managed to get to his feet. His body was shaking, and he could barely stand.

[Completed System Bounding]

When Rain heard this, he felt quite relieved.

He was lying on his bed, and his hair was standing like spikes. His whole body was still trembling.

'Good. Finally.'

Rain then uttered the phrase that every character who has possessed another character will utter.

'Status'

Name: Rain /??

Age: 19 years old

Rank: -F grade

Strength: -F (weakling.)

Health: -F (need to go to the hospital for treatment.)

Stamina: -F (Can't even last long one minute.)

Charm: B+

(Appears to be an angel. However, only in looks.)

Intelligence: C+

(Common sense that is a little above ordinary.)

Mana: ...

(It's so insignificant right now that I can't even measure it.)

[Evaluation: A good-looking weakling with little more common sense than average people. Even young kids can defeat you.]

Rain was silent after reading his status.

He rubbed his eyes, and after blinking a few times, he saw it again, but it was still the same.

'Hey, system what does this status mean?

Are you serious?

Why am I so weak?'

Rain's fantasy was crumbling in his heart.

'Wait. This appears to be the status of my previous life. Did I inherit stats from my previous life?'

Rain made an assumption.

[Host's hunch is accurate.]

'I guess it seems to make sense because I've spent most of my life working and studying. So my strength is not good.' Rain admitted.

'But what are those comments?' Rain saw some odd remarks in his status.

'What is this duration of stamina, exactly? I don't believe I'm that weak.' He felt like this remark was wrong.

[Host. Please, cleanse out your dirty notions. I'm referring to physical exercise.]

'This deceitful system... ' Rain tried to curse, but remembering electric shocks, he controlled himself.

'About health. Yeah, I've been working a bit too hard in my life, and I have no idea why my body is also injured.' He reasoned.

'The next is the charm. I suppose I've always had a good appearance. In my previous life, I was above average and now I am just perfect.' Rain stroked his chin and smiled.

'I might not have much intelligence because I don't know much about this world.' Rain was content with this.

'Mana exists here? Thus, this might be a modern fantasy novel's world.'

Then he started noticing other details.

'Moreover, I am 19 years old.

Good. I'm still fairly young.' Rain didn't want to become some infant or some old man after dying. So being young was good for him.

However, Rain soon noticed his name in the status window.
