The sight of teens laughing and talking gleefully is truly.... what should I say.... nostalgic?
Ahh yes a nostalgic experience
Although I did not experience the life of a modern person first hand, but the memory alone was enough to let me feel the simple joy and things of high school
The smell of dusty tables, The sound of innocent laughter, the time in life where you normally have to worry less of many problems and at the same time.... the start of never ending problems.
The thought of a bleak future, the pressure of people around you, and lastly where many family problems come in. If you cannot survive such situation there are only two S endings, the survivor route or the... suicide route.
It was rough, for a person from a fantasy themed world, you can easily question things, from whys to the hows
It was totally different, the fantasy world was ruled by the strong, anytime and anywhere your crown can be taken away. That's why you have to keep on getting stronger. The rules of the jungle made many lives of the strong easier, with their power they are unquestionable and undefiable but... what about for the weak? They are nothing more but little clown dancing and hoping for fate's blessings, tragedy or luxury you can only pray but never sure.
Though that's why the fantasy world is rough, the extreme competition of wanting to never becoming slaves to the strong makes everyone keep going, but that's what the modern world is best at they have freely give chances for everyone not becoming poor beggars to luck and destiny. With education you can truly survive poverty.... but that's only the tip of the iceberg, they give chances but as time passes, as your age grows you'll slowly feel the unfairness of life, the injustice of destiny. You'll slowly feel the boundary between the people's standings. The poor can forever survive but can never become rich, the rich can grow and at the same time can become richer.
I shook my head, although I'm not completely philosophical, but it's hard not to notice the disparity of classes
But I guess I should snap out of this
'System, what is the time difference from the plot?'
『Currently 5 years from the start of the plot』
'So 2022 is the plot start huh'
'So system, what is the person's name or experience of this body'
『Murasaki Ryu』
『Do you want to experience the memory first hand or would you like to let me dictate it』
'System, let me experience it first hand'
Although the simple words are good but I'd like more detailed info
『Ok here, 3.. 2...1... start』
As the countdown finished I blanked out

A few minutes later
Ughhh I have finally finished reading his memory but overall I am lucky
"The one thing I noticed special is that we also have identical looks" I muttered as I touched my face
If I were to guess then It is probably due to the fact I need at least a proper destination for my bridge then overall this person has the best fit among all
Now let's talk about this guy
The reason why I can say that I'm lucky is that I currently live under a household where in my mother's side is a family that manages a kendo dojo and currently it is under the management of an uncle of mine and in this body's childhood, he had trained until this body was in 3rd year high school and the current financial situation is actually good, my family owns a restaurant managed by parents, it is enough to be in the boundary of a middle class family and a rich household but the reason why I can say that I am very lucky is for the reason that... this kid can be said to be transparent but he is a child who can at least top 10 in their entire grade level. That means If I try to become someone popular it would be a surprise but not totally suspicion.
Although low key is good but by trying to excel and suppress my entire grade level is essential and crucial to my plan to at least get near more professional people and most especially Akihiba after graduating university.
Right now I'm at my first semester of my last high school before going to a university and the moment I get home today I'll try to make use of that feature to learn as quickly as possible the few basics until to the present knowledge needed
But for now let's deal with our current present
"Ryu what are you thinking so deeply" A teen said while slapping my shoulder
Now that's my bestfriend thankfully I'm no mc so he's not fat and a mood freezer
"Nah nothing, Yuki" I said denying
"Are you sure? Or are you perhaps still thinking about what happened?"
"Huh what do you mean?" I asked
So far from the memories I received this guy had not suffered any problem lately, so what does he mean?
"Well... Ugh I guess it is a hard blow to you, but hopefully you'll realize that there is something more to live for"
As Yuki tried to comfort me, I was confused about the entire situation but still listened and looked at his face
'System, what the hell is happening?'
『Sigh... I never knew this world is in such bad situation, If I knew it was this troublesome, I could have avoided it』
"What do you mean?"
『Like what I said this world is also in a situation considered bad』
"Wait... you mean an invasion?
『Yes, no wonder this world is too balanced, the other music culture, food culture is not behind the development in technology and sword play』
『Or in other words we are in the most direct branch of the timeline of sao』
『And the reason is due to an extraterrestrial anomaly』
"Wait...."
『Right now we are given the chance to invade a high class main branch timeline due to it's circumstances and we are needed to exterminate it』
『We are going to exterminate... a host of a world annihilator system』
"The WHAT?"
