It was already late at night and almost all people in the neighborhood but Ian Santos no, it is Akuto shoshetsu now, is still walking weakly in the middle of the night while trying to support himself in the side of the wall.
Even though his so weak like he can be blow away by the wind, his face is not haggard at all but instead its full of excitement, that's his trying hard to contain the smile from leaking out from the corner of his face.
I, Akuto shoshetsu finally experience it! The things that i can only read and imagine, it finally happen to me!
The protogonist experience!!!
Even though its Nerf version without Golden finger likes his transmigrator predecessor, he can't help but still imaging his bright future even without golden finger.
Finally after lot of struggle he can't control the grin from showing up on his face and laughing out loudly like an idiot, distracting the tranquil night on the neighborhood.
The only unfortunately and fortunate thing is that sadly, he only inherited partials memory of the previous owner. Not the whole thing just like the common sense on this country, knowledge gain from school and vague memory of his family members.
But thanks to it his judgments and personality won't be affected by the previous owner.
Akuto can't help but taking another look at his body and wonder how the previous owner died, there's not even any part of memory like what really happen.
He only know that when he wake up on the alley, his laying on the bunch of garbage bag without his wallet, low bat phone and head that hurts like hell but there's no wounds.
That's also the reason why it's already this late and people on the neighborhood are already peacefully sleeping and here he is still walking late this night without eating and drinking a single drop of water!
This hatred is not shared!!
At the same time he keeps remembering the last moment of his life like a lesson in this life that he should be more..... He can only blame himself if only he is...
He can't help but sigh and promise that those lessons would be remember this life!

He was on his way from university to his home after a tiresome day, this date of the month is really hectic day since it's time for the final examination during this semester, fortunately this is already the last day of examination, he don't need to keep reviewing and revising his note until late at night.
Imagining his beautiful time with those novels, Mahwah, Manhua, manga and anime that's his going to watch and read during this upcoming vacation, he can't help but smile like a fool.
His heavy step can't help but lighten up, the feet that's seems to be walking through quagmire feels like Walking through flat road now, everything feels so easy to do.
Even the wind breeze smell better and taste sweater even though he just pass by a bunch of garbage bag on the side of the road.
This show how important mentality really is.
Stopping in front of pedestrian lane and looking at the traffic countdown light timer that's slowly going down he can't help but wish that time goes faster and ignoring the restless feeling on his heart as timer goes down, like something bad is about to happen.
Just like as promise, Suddenly on opposite sides of the street a child break free from his mother hand and chasing down the ball that bounce on the middle of the street at the same time stumbling on non-existing stone and unaware of the incoming truck just like those classic stories.
Seeing the panic on the truck driver face while he tries to slow down the bad feeling on his heart can't help but intensifies.
Suddenly he feels something heroic awaken deep inside him and if he did not fallow this call something bad would really happen to him.
With a quick mental calculation of, the speed of truck, the distance between it and the child and his initial speed when he save the child looking at the answer.
He take a deep breath with a firm determination on his eye and amidst the astonish gaze from the people on opposite lane.
He took several steps forward.... No!!! It's backward! He tries to avoid any possible accident that could actually happen even if this step only few steps it may save some trouble.(like splash of blood or something)
A gush of wind suddenly attract his attention, a silhouette is running toward the child that fall down trying to push him out of the way.
The driver seeing someone running trying to save the child, panic even more (from single kill to double kill)
With a quick look from left to right and seeing there's only one person on left lane, he take a sharp turn avoiding the child and its savior at the same time it also avoid Ian because of his constant stepping back and hitting only the street light.
Unfortunately miracle doesn't really happen, because of the sharp turn the truck, it loses its sense of balance and fell down, falling on the savior like when you stamp on a tomato with your feet.
Seeing the situation in front of him Ian felt somehow relieved that he fallow his feeling at the same time still wonder where's the restless feeling on his heart coming from, even though the accident already happen.
Unaware the situation on his back and that his relieved too early, the street light that been almost uprooted by the truck come closer and closer to the back of his head hitting him hard.
*Bang*
Feeling his body gradually getting colder he can't help but blame himself.
'i should be more shameless and run instead of---' with that last though, he lost his consciousness
Next day news report
"A student known for helping people on need in this community died while saving a child that----....... On the other hand a student received got hit by righteous backstab by street lights"
----
Recalling the last moment and those beautiful thing that should happen on this coming vacation he somehow felt sad for those unfinished manga, manhwa, manhua, novel and anime that he have on his library that's destiny to never be finish.
While supporting himself on the side of the wall and mourning for those unfinished work his gaze happen to pass by a girl wearing a jk uniform sitting underneath the street light, he suddenly felt electrocuted and stare stupidly like seeing something that should not exist.
Suddenly a voice echo from his mind disturbing his though and waking him up while a virtual screen appears right in front of him.
