God Threw a Rock at it

 Ray smiled at the sight of the flabbergasted doctor before him. It made sense. He thought back to his time on Earth. He was 20 years old with perfect fluency in 7 different languages so his ability wasn't something to question at all. He muttered, "Well, I can't guarantee I could have done this without that stupid book." He turned to look at the little doctor. She seemed confused at his words.

 He sighed to himself. "You should probably close the door…Before they hear us, I mean." Wouldn't want a private doctor to patient conversation to be heard.

 "Oh, yeah! Sorry!" She closed the door and walked inside. Ray got into a thinking position.

 About time to get some information. "I'm not sure if he told you but yesterday when they brought in my food, a nurse told me you are my designated personal doctor. Can you explain what that is?"

 "Huh? Oh, it means I was assigned to you."

 "Like, how? Does it mean you'll be my primary physician in the event I visit this hospital?"

 She stopped to think about it, "Well, something like that." She explained, "From what I heard, personal doctors are usually assigned to people that are on the wealthy side…because they cost more I mean!" She nervously laughed, "It means that in the event you need medical aid, you won't have to wait. You take precedence over all other patients for me. I'm just a primary care doctor though. Specialists aren't guaranteed to be as quick to see as me."

 "I see." Ray asked, "I assume it was Dr. Arias that assigned you to me as a personal doctor then?"

 She stopped for a bit, "Oh, well. Yes."

 "You seem a bit taken aback." Ray said.

 "Oh, no. It's just…you're the second person that asked me that. Makes me think there's something going on that I don't know." She sighed.

 "Probably," Ray thought to himself. "Anyways, with that over with." Ray smiled, "I believe we never got to have a formal introduction." He put his hand to his chest as he said, "Hello, my name is Ray Vallia. It is a pleasure to meet you."

 Dr. Nara stopped for a moment, processing what just happened. "Oh, right! I-I'm Dr. Nara." She tried to compose herself. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Vallia."

 "Just call me, Ray." He stared at her. Casual undertone to her speech, messy hair, nervous speech patterns. It would be best to treat her casually.

 As he watched her turn her eyes away from his stare, he asked, "So, is there anything you need?"

 "Huh? Oh!" She tried to compose herself. "Yes. Well…it's about your identity." She walked over to the computer Ray took note of before and logged in. Ray watched her as she did, making her flinch a bit.

 Turning the screen to him, she told him, "When we looked for information about you, we couldn't find anything. It's like you just popped out of thin air. Even private person's listings didn't have you in them."

 Naturally. He sighed. He knew about stories where people got sent to other worlds. Usually the characters transferred to fantasy style worlds where it wasn't hard to get started. However… "Uh, we weren't sure what to do when we found that. Without identification, it's like we're treating a ghost. Your medical report is in limbo."

 Fair enough. A more advanced world was not as simple as a fantasy world. As far as this world was concerned, he didn't exist and getting it to acknowledge him would be incredibly hard. At least under normal circumstances.

 Notice, normal. What the little doctor said next confused Ray. "Dr. Arias started acting weird when I told him. He said to keep quiet about it and that he would forge an identity for you."

 Forge an identity? "I see." Not the craziest thing he's heard.

 The little doctor seemed a little confused at his calm face but moved on. She only muttered, "Miss Diana was right, then? Hehe."

 This caught his attention. "What do you mean?"

 "Oh! She um…she told me you were probably smart." So she warned the little doctor, eh?

 "Real recognizes real, I guess." He chuckled, "Maybe she saw how easily I could drag you along? You truly are a spoiled little child are you?"

 "Wha? I am not a child!" So that was a sore spot.

 Calming down, the little doctor reached for her pocket and gave Ray a card. He looked at it.

 It was strange. It had an empty box taking up most of the right hand side. He guessed that was probably where a picture went. Meanwhile, most of the left had what looked like personal information. An ID number, birth date, etc. Although there were things he didn't recognize. Tower mastery, adventurer's rank, magic stars and soul refinement were among the few. They all seemed like fantasy names.

 "Dr. Arias bought you some time with that. That's a fake ID to hold you over in the short term." She explained, "Dr. Arias programmed it to say it'll expire soon. We're going to take it to the city center soon to exchange it for a real one when you 'renew it.'" She motioned silent air quotes as she said that.

 Ray asked, "I assume when I do, the fake information will solidify as real in public records."

 The little doctor nodded. "He said there's a string of code in the card that'll infect the public records. It'll work when they scan it to confirm your renewal I think. I didn't understand much."

 "Got it." He read the name. "Ray Valia." That'll make the reading less clear. There were no double Ls in Yiran. Additionally, pronunciation was different. Instead of Va-li-a, it was va-lia in Yiran.

 "How do we confirm they don't find out it's a counterfeit? Just making sure I don't get imprisoned." He joked.

 "The ID is due to expire soon. They destroy ID's as soon as they do. I think it has something to do with magic corruption."

 Ray raised a brow at this. Alright, so magic was confirmed. He would research this corruption later as well. He quickly made the connection that this likely was why identification cards had to be renewed.

 He turned back to the doctor as he finished thinking to hear her finish off her words. "They won't find out as long as the signal from the card remains normal until the end, which shouldn't be a problem,"

 "Thanks for the clarification." He smiled.

 "You should thank Dr. Arias, not me. He's the one that did all that work for you." That was precisely the problem. Fabricating a fake ID in a world advanced enough to appear like the modern world at first glance couldn't have been a simple process. Who was Dr. Arias to pull this off in just 5 days and why go through all this effort? It really didn't add up.

 Ray was cut off from this thought as Dr. Nara remembered something. "Oh, right! I was supposed to tell you that you were advised to stay for a few more days." She explained, "Dr. Arias isn't done fabricating some of your papers yet so you shouldn't walk out into the city for too long. Your ID appointment is 2 days from now so you should prepare for that too. I'll go with you when the time comes."

 Fair enough. "Understood. I'll stay for now." It wasn't like he had anywhere to go anyways.

 She smiled. "Thank you." She got up, "Oh, you might need to know this. I'm not sure why you don't have any official records and I don't want to know because this looks sketchy but you're stuck with me. Assigned doctors keep the same patients until one dies or the patients transfer for other reasons. If you have any medical problems, feel free to contact me." As she said this, Ray was hit with a sudden dull headache not unlike the ones he got from before. This quickly reminded him.

 He told her, "I do have one issue. It's about this headache I get every now and then. I don't know what's causing it but it doesn't seem to go away."

 "Repeated headaches?" She stopped, "Would you mind describing them?" She stopped for a bit and corrected, "In detail." He explained what they felt like, noticing as she looked like she was realizing something. "Uh, I…can you wait here?"

 He was a bit confused at her reaction, "Sure?"

 She made her way out. What a strange lady. She returned within five minutes with a small device on a wheeled table before detaching what looked like a sensor from the side. She ran over and asked in her serious tone, "If you'll allow me, I want to test something. Can you hold still for a moment?"

 Ray looked at her. She seemed serious. He wasn't a medical genius but it wasn't hard to understand that whatever made her act like this wasn't small so he complied. "Sure." He watched as she immediately got to work, turning the device on and scanning his body. Immediately her eyes widened, "This is."

 The reaction made Ray curious, "What?"

 "Sorry, your body isn't in any bad condition but…" She turned back to the machine and reset it, then fired it back up, "So it wasn't a misreading."

 He looked at her with a look of serious intrigue. "So, Doctor? Care to explain what's going on."

 "Oh, sorry." She told him, "Um, how do I…Okay so humans have these things called imaginary vessels running through their body that function like blood vessels. It's through these vessels that humans are able to use magic. These vessels move magic like blood moves oxygen. But…you're different."

 He ingested that information like it was nothing. Imaginary vessels? Got it. Not the craziest thing he's learned in the past few days. "How so?"

 Elsewhere in the hospital, Dr. Arias sat in his office with a smile on his face as he spoke into the phone. Speaking to the person on the other end, he said, "Gianna, you wouldn't believe what I found!"

 On the other end, the muffled voice of a mature sounding woman spoke up, "I told you not to call me by my first name. We aren't friends."

 "What? You want me to call you Headmaster Ekronis then? Sounds a bit too formal to me."

 "No, Miss Ekronis is fine." She was clearly very annoyed at him, but he didn't care. After all, he knew that the topic he would bring up would take all of her attention. She angrily ordered him, "Just tell me. What got you, of all people, to call me?"

 Dr. Arias chuckled, "I found another one."

 The voice at the other end of the line froze for a few seconds. "What do you mean, another one?"

 Dr. Arias' face froze dead as he got serious out of nowhere. In a cold voice different from his normal tone, he said "You know what I mean, Gianna."

 Dr. Nara looked at Ray with a look of utter shock, "Your body. It doesn't just have vessels." She turned the machine around, revealing a screen showing a 3D model of a naked human male. He read the scan's description. The machine was meant to detect the so-called imaginary vessels he heard of.

 Glowing lines running across the 3d model were supposed to represent detected vessels. However, as he looked at the 3d picture representing his body he saw something strange. "Your whole body is imaginary vessels!" Dr. Nara yelled out. She was right, the entire model was completely filled in.

 She walked over, "Wait. I need to test something." She ran over to a nearby desk drawer and pulled out a patch. Placing it on his skin, he watched as the patch changed from black to white. "This-This is incredible." Ray looked at the patch.

 "Uh, can you tell me what this all means for me?"

 She looked at him, "You really don't know?"

 "Well, uh. It works like this. The amount of imaginary vessels in your body gives an estimate for how strong your magic can be. This is why mages train to boost their vessels at an early age. It's much harder to build on them when you mature."

 He didn't know the part about mages existing but this was good information to know. He kept that in mind as she continued, "But, among mages, there exist people with exceptional potential who have dense vessels all around their body to the point that they can use magic passively. Dreamers are what they are called. But…I have never heard of someone having vessels this dense! Ray, it's like your entire body is made of magic!" She told him, "Y-You might have the potential to become the most powerful dreamer in history! Do you realize what this means!?"

 Well, no. Without the context of this world there wasn't a way for him to measure how crazy this was. Common sense did allow him to understand that this wasn't normal though. Judging off of what she said he had a grasp of what this could entail although he had no details. He would likely have to experience that himself. If it was unprecedented enough for her to react like that, it was likely even she didn't know the consequences of the machine's readings. He sighed, "What the hell is this?"

 Dr. Nara looked confused at his completely calm face. She had expected a bigger reaction. 

 Ray silently apologized for the dull look. He didn't even know the details of the limits of these vessels, let alone their peak so he couldn't give a proper reaction to the news yet. He did silently ponder over it though. So she was basically saying that he was sent to another world with unmatched magical potential. This was a plot straight out of an anime.

 Dr. Arias sat in silence as he waited for a response. She had gone more silent than before after he had confirmed her suspicions on what he found. Then before long, she responded, "I see. I'll see what I can do. I'll get back to you in a few days."

 Dr. Arias responded, "Understood." Hanging up, he suddenly went back to his normal demeanor as he leaned back, "This has been quite the turn of events." He turned to a picture to his right showing him with what appeared to be a group of friends. "Let us see where this bang to the world's foundation will take history. God only knows this world needs it."
