Chapter 1
"Ah"
That's all I can say after I saw my tiny hands. 'Wtf, I have small hands', I bite my hands to see if it's true.
"Chomp"
'Damn that hurts. Why am I small again', I checked all parts in my body my feet, legs, fingers and I also didn't forget to checked my weiner. 'Phew, its still there, dont worry I will let you grow properly'. I tried to think all of the possible outcomes regarding the situation I'm in. I also don't think that this is a lucid dream either since I feel pain when I bit my hands earlier. 'What the hell is going on?'. While I was racking my brain to find out my current predicament, suddenly there is a sound disturbing my concentration.
[Ding]
"WTF", I was surprised since there is no one nearby, not even a soul can be found.
[System Iniated]
[Binding to host
[Current Status: Healthy, Confused]
My eyes are so wide after seeing the words floating infront of me. I tried touching it, but my hand pass through it.
"What the hell is this?"
[Current Body Memories: Not yet absorbed]
[Absorb: Yes / No]
I was in delimma after my current situation. I am in unkown place and time while my current body is small. I wonder if the Gods are playing with me. This doesn't make sense either. I am a realistic person eventhough I watched and read fantasy genres such as animes and the like, I don't really believe supernaturals like ghosts, monsters, poltergeists, witches and etc. or reincarnation as such. I only believe on what I saw with my own two eyes. And here I am standing with my own small legs and staring blankly on whats infront of me. 'This is definitely a hologram' I tried touching it again, but my fingers always pass through. And suddenly I remembered one of the anime series I watched, Sword Art Online (SAO), 'Oh shit' I am very surprised with my discovery but the HUD in this system is very different in SAO.
"Am I in a virtual reality world? But that doesn't make sense. This hologram even asked me to absorb the current body memories. In the novels I've read and animes I watched, people who venture in virtual reality gaming always be able to chose their classes and make their own characters and most importantly I clearly remembered that I was having hard time breathing while I was laying on top of my bed" I listed all the facts that I know. But there is a sound interrupting my thought process.
[Ding]
[System error]
[×××××××××××]
"What the heck is happening this time!!" I said angrily. The sound is very annoying, it is like there is a mosquito living inside my ears.

[Command: Yes]
I was staring blankly on the processes that was happening infront of me. I really don't know what is going on. Even when I reach college, all the courses and subjects I took regarding computer programming, well I suck at them all. I barely passed it, I know the basics but that doesn't do much. I don't even remember what I learned during my early college days especially the 1st and 2nd year. The only reason I passed because most exams are done at home. I just secretly message my friends in class and copied the answers. 'Well enough of the past' I look on the things happening infront of my eyes.
[Memories found]
[Injecting body memories]
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh"
I shouted on top of my lungs. My head seems to be cracking. It is like there is a 100 pound object hammering my head. The pain I'm experienceing right now very hard to describe it is like someone is pressing or squeezing on the front, back, or both sides of my head.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh"
The pain started at the back of my head and spreading forward. This is becomes a band of dull pressure or squeezing pain around my entire head. It already affected both sides of my head equally. The muscles in my neck, shoulder and jaw is starting to feel tight and sore.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh"
I continue to shout. The pain is very extreme, my eyes started to become blurry it feels like I can see an aura everywhere. I can feel the light of the sun above me very clearly, it is stinging me. I hear the sounds in my surrounding, the swaying of the leaves, droplets of water, buzzing bees, the breze of the wind. It feels like I am very extra-senstive now.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh"
I don't know how many seconds have passed or minutes. The pain continued to assault me. It is like I am being shot with a machine gun with a caliber of 14.5 mm bullet continuously in my head. The pain I feel every second seems to be multiplying. 'Why is this happening to me?' I utter in my mind right now.
[Ding]
[Memories accepted]
After that I blanked out
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I don't know how much time had passed. I am currently sitting on the dark room. While viewing my memories. I clearly see when my mother feed me with vitamins during my younger years. At that time, she has taken care of all my needs when I wasn't able to speak.
Additionally, she taught me how to walk, speak, and take care of myself. Similarly, every bigger step that I have taken in my life is all because of her. Because, if she hasn't taught me how to take small steps then I won't be able to take these bigger step. The memories continued until when I started attending school, all the teachers and friends who were with me during my youthfull days. My first crush when I'm in my fifth grade also showed up. The achievements I have in my middle grade was showing one by one. My father who taught me how to play catch also manifest in my view. The things we did together making a kite and teaching me how to fly it, giving me my first lesson on riding a bycicle and how I sustained many bruises on that day. My happy memories continued for a while then it also showed me my sad ones. My first defeat on hockey during middle grade, my grandmother and grandfather death. When my pet dog died because of crashing in the car. My first feeling of rejection when I saw my girlfriend having a secret affair during highschool. The fights I have with my parents and making my mother cried. I also see when I started to like watching animes, reading manga and novels. Participating in different programs like cosplay events, book-signing events, attending concerts with my fellow anime lover friends. Showing my hardships in my study, attempting to take an entrance exam in a famous university, making new friends, cramking with my lessons, having failures in exams and finally to take my diploma and graduate.
The scene continued for a while and showing the disaster happened on Earth. The emergence of new virus. How many people died that event, how I was infected by that virus, how my mother and father cried to me, how I cried one last time and laid down on my bed and closed my eyes.
The whole view suddenly went black. My surrounding is very quiet and cold. The place is void of colors. I don't how to describe my emotions right now. It feels like I'm riding in a roller coaster. I felt happy and sad at the same time, anger and pleasure, sorrow and joy. I continued to reminice what I felt. I hugged my knees and let a single drop of tear flow down in my eyes.
Time passed slowly in the dark space while I was curling like a ball when suddenly another scene flashed in my surroundings. I raise my head and was very surprised on what I saw.
