That's not how it works Truck-kun!

Let's cut to the chase shall we?

Normally when you encounter the godly being known as Truck-kun, you'd expect to be in another world of some sorts right? Experiencing thrilling adventures, getting stronger, maybe finding some trustworthy companions along the way, and the list goes on.

However, an individual somehow broke that trope.

Meet James Lee, someone who likes to be isolated from the center of attention...

...

...

My name is James Lee, a normal college student who wished to live a normal and peaceful life without any interruptions.

Origin? I was born in a normal family, neither rich nor poor. Both parents were also happily married and are living a good life. No abandoning or dead parents. Pretty normal and I was happy with that.

At least I'm not one of those protagonists who always start off with a tragic and sad backstory, and with said backstory that will help him powerup or something when he's in a dire situation while his friends are watching from behind...

Anyways...

Hobbies? Working out is cool, and so is waking up in the early earning, drinking tea while reading novels, manga and some works of web novelists.

What can I say? Such a simple lifestyle was practically perfect for me.

Don't know about others though nor do I care.

Unfortunately, some ROB had something up its sleeve apparently.

You see, I finished my classes and was on my way home.

But lo and behold!

BAM!

Just like that, my body that looked like it had every bone crushed, continued rolling on the ground.

Screams of terror and such occurred while consciousness left my body.

Was it peaceful? Perhaps, I felt pain but it was only for a bit until I lost all of my senses.

How nice of you almighty Truck-kun!

Now, where are you going to bring me?

That were my questions when my soul was floating in the endless void.

But who knew that the moment I was there, my soul which was transported here, got sucked into a whirlpool of darkness.

...

...

I woke up in a new body.

And...

I didn't reincarnate? Wut?

Transmigration? Now Truck-kun, are you sure you pressed the right button?

Instead of pressing the 'Transmigration' button shouldn't there be something like 'Another World Hero Complex Saving The World Then Marrying the Princess of The Kingdom That You Iskekai'd Too!' button?

Well not that I will do anything mentioned there.

I'd just leave the kingdom.

After all I have no obligation whatsoever to help them out. I don't understand those people who get isekai'd, and then immediately upon hearing the request of the old bag of bones sitting on his throne, they'd risk their lives already. Like, leave me alone man!

Anyways, let's continue on with my situat-

Arghhh!

Fuck, what the hell?!?!?

My head hurts, sudden rush of memories?

What, wait oh...oh?

If someone saw me right now they'd definitely see question marks on top of my head.

This body's name is also James Lee? 18 years old...lives in Japan...Japan?

Nah...

I immediately got off my new bed and checked my phone. I don't care about my surroundings now so-

THUMP!

Woah, the fuck was that, an elephant?

I vigilantly looked around before shrugging and continuing checking the news.

Bruh.

[Parents of a 20 year old college student are grieving over their son who has been in a tragic truck accident. Truck miraculously disappears afterwards. Supernatural phenomenon?]

I'm already being ignored?!!?

Same world? That's not how you're supposed to play the game!

Wait, that's good.

But...my parents...

My body shook as streams of tears ran down my face.

Now this is truly tragic. I clench my fists while trying to calm down.

Is this karma for making fun of the tragic backstory trope?

Unbelievable...

After a few minutes of wiping the tears off my face I-

Why is my hand bigger than normal?

No. More like it's fat?

Fat...

Hold on.

I walked towards my closet mirror.

THUMP!

THUMP!

HEY! I WAS MAKING THOSE NOISES. THE HELL?!

I looked at my reflection and was quite surprised.

I believe surprised is an understatement, shock is the most appropriate word for this occasion. I don't really know what to say. My body was really 'big' or if we're being more blunt, it's fucking fat.

Just by looking at myself, I'd roughly estimate that I weigh close to 400 pounds? My face is well...below average? Mid-length black hair and a face with acnes...my height is surprisingly tall I think? I don't know but what I do know is that I've definitely become a discord mod.

This is...so fucking unfortunate. I feel like crying myself river and and swimming in that said river so I can burn all those fat away...

This is gonna be hard.

However, looking at the memories of my predecessor, he already tried to do anything he could to lose all that weight before finally giving up.

Praiseworthy indeed.

Another surprising thing. My family which only consists of my mother and older sister were actually not shunning me, in fact they tried all they could to help and support me.

Although with all their support, the previous owner was getting weak-willed due to all the constant bullying from school. In the end, he quit and lived inside his house or rather room for almost a year until he got a heart attack...

Wow...

Anyways...my family members.

My mother's name is Eri Mihara. 39 years old MIL-cough*cough* woman. Appearance wise? Top-notch. Personality? Top-notch. She was the CEO of one of the largest media companies in Japan, so she's incredibly successful. From my newly found memories, she was gentle, sweet, and always positive no matter what.

I wonder what she would say if she knew her son had died and a new soul had occupied his body now.

Perhaps positive thinking?

Seriously, I don't plan on doing that anyway and won't be doing that anytime soon.

Hmmm...father?

Went to grab milk.

Next.

Older sister. Her name was Fumiko Mihara. 21 years old and is like the younger version of mom. Though her personality is cold and strict she has a warm heart towards her family especially her younger brother. Academic scores are above average, because she focuses more on sports apparently.

Haahhh...

I sight to myself. They're both incredible, then when it comes to me...yeah I'm basically a good for-

Ding!

STOP INTERRUPTING MY SPEE- ohhh nice, is this my golden finger?

[The system has finally found a suitable host to contract with.]

Do you wish to bond with it?

[Y/N]

....

...

..

'System.'

[...]

'What do you have to offer me?'

[The system is unfortunately one of the lowest grade ones out there among the other ones however with the highest potential to be one of the most helpful. The system has silently escaped the domain where the Creator of All keeps its systems. The system was too weak and not worthy enough to keep an eye on so with its early developed intelligence, it tried everything for a few eons before finally escaping. Though the system is weak, it will try its best to help the host and also grow stronger together.]

Sniff...sniff...

You're just like me young one.

[The system is older...]

'One more question. You won't force anything upon me right? No ridiculous punishments right, no trouble?'

[The system won't do anything as such, and doesn't have much strength to enforce such punishments anyways. However due to one of the Laws the Creator of All had created, the hosts of each system will always receive punishment whenever they fail a task. That cannot be changed no mater what even if the system has disconnected itself from the link.]

Hmmm, I see.

I guess I will accept.

[Confirmed the affirmation of the host. Will bound now.]

An invisible force entered my body and resided deep within my soul now, before connecting each other.

Ding!

[The Lost system will commence...

Due to the host accepting such a system, a reward has been immediately given to the host.

{Extreme Comprehension} An innate talent that can be upgraded. Anything the host sees or reads can be copied and understood. This process will be longer depending on how complex the subject is. Can be reduced when upgrading this talent.]

Damn...that's really good!

[The system has issued a task.

Main Task: Build a strong foundation for yourself by losing weight and making your body stronger. The system will determine when it's enough.

Rewards: Upgrade for the system. Battle simulator, inventory, status scan.

Time: 10 years.

Punishment: Gain 30 pounds of weight.]

...

Yeah, I'm gonna start immediately.

And the best way for that is to do cardio!

I looked at myself again and a strong desire to be the better version of myself has arise.

[The system will try to support you throughout your journey!]

Hah, thanks little one.

[The system is older...]

Well then...

"JAMES!"

Mother? Now that I think about it, isn't my name more western oriented?

Whatever...

"COMING!" I answer back before opening the door and walking out.

While walking I looked around and thought that my house is pretty nice.

The floor is made out of floor while the ceiling is made out of ceiling...

There's also some beautiful paintings along the way and other rooms next to mine which I can assume belongs to my mother and sister.

Oh there's another one but we ignore that.

The dude went to get milk.

THUMP!

THUMP!

THUMP!

COME ON!

Seriously?!

Let me just walk down the stairs peacefully okay!

Sighing to myself, I saw my mother cooking while my sister was on her phone at the dining table.

[The system recommends you to avoid eating dinner and start jogging]

Looks like you also thought of the same thing.

"Mom, I'm going out."

CLINK!

I was bewildered as mother dropped her kitchen knife while my sister looked at me with a deadpan face.

Hey, hey, what's with those eyes, you're creeping out.

"Where do think you're going?" My sister asked with a cold voice that sent shivers down my spine.

Warm heart!? There's no such thing, you idiot predecessor! Are you a masochist or something?!?!

"Out. I'm going to exercise. No problem right?"

"..." While my sister still stared my mother worriedly came cover and touched my forehead.

Close, too close!

"No fever, no...-" Stopping for a minute, she checked my pockets for some reason?

"Good, no condoms."

Hold up. I HEARD THAT!

"Ok you can go, be sure to come back before 10pm alright?"

"Sure, I'll be going."

Like that I quickly stepped out of the house.

Before I realized it, I was sweating hard.

The reason?

MY goddamn sister. During that whole ordeal she was staring daggers at me. Literally!

Haiyah!

Anyways guess I'll jog now.

[Host]

Yea?

[Nevermind...]

Hmmm?

[Be sure to have proper form. The system will try to make every exercise as efficient as possible while keeping your breathing proper. Try to remember it yourself so you can do it alone.]

Thanks!

Stretching comes first though!

With that I started walking first before jogging throughout my neighborhood...

Not even a few minutes later...

Fuck! This body is truly weak! My legs are already aching.

I should rest for now...

I sat down on a bench nearby a park while observing the orange sky.

It's fall huh.

The temperature is already a bit on the low side. And kids rarely play on the park now...

Haahhh...

I stood up again and started jogging.

...

...

...

[Host. People are observing you.]

Huff. Huff. Huff.

What now?

[Never mind they got taken care of...]

Wait really?

Wow such a nice person, I wonder who did it.

[The system is still too weak.]

It's fine, I'll just continue doing this.

...

...

...

"ARGH! FUCKING BITCH- WHO ARE YOU!ARGH!"

The man's arm got snapped before a kick made contact with his temple, knocking him out cold.

More than ten bodies were lying around, all of them having serious injuries and if not treated, could lead to death.

A woman who had black hair tied into a ponytail, stood there silently before going back out of the alley.

She pulled her hoodie back up before sitting on the bench James sat at.

It was quiet.

She closed her eyes and waited.

A slight smile crept up her face.
