Chapter 1 Awakening

Chapter 1 Awakening

Translators Note:

This novel has been chosen by the patrons over on my Patreon as replacement series for Dungeon Battle Royale which is going to end in the next months. Until I start to genuinely stock this series up on Patreon (after I translate the last available Dunbat chapter), Ill release this novel on a chapter/chapter part per month basis.

So far the novel has 102 chapters in the raw after the author started to write it in June 2022. But, many of the chapters have sizes close to LN chapter length.

Well, I suspect there will be around 10 LN volumes in content by the time I begin the weekly release, so look forward to it.

By the way, I binged the whole thing, and I can vouch for it being a great series.

Lastly, two main points about this novel: Its nothing for readers who like lolis since all the women are big-chested, and all sex is vanilla. The author informed the readers through his character that he hates rape, NTR, and all other kinds of non-consensual sex and as far as I have read, I didnt find anything in that direction either, so you can read with a peace of mind, if you dislike such developments.

The excruciating pain of his body had lasted three whole days, and the fact of being confronted with such ailing the instant he woke up had further resulted in him being thrown into confusion.

He had asked himself why he was in this place and why he had to suffer like this.

Even nowI cannot believe it, butstill, it must be truethe memories certainly exist inside my head.

At last, he did get out of his bed. As he stretched his body, he could hear his joints cracking. And then he spotted a piece of paper on a nearby table.

It contained a request, asking him to either burn this message or flush it down the toilet after reading it. The name of its sender was Yuuta, and just as he had wondered about the addresseethe message went on with To the awoken Yuuta.

A message to the one that would wake up after him He must have hated this world quite a bit.

To plainly summarize the content of the message: I dont want to keep living in this world, so you use this body to live on, okay?

With his hurting body also playing a part, Yuuta had required another two days to somehow get a grasp on his own situation after having woken up and read the message.

And today, on the third day, he finally decided to accept his situation.

Im Yuuta, but then again not. This is a distant future of the world I used to live inor rather, its the rebuilt world after its civilization perished at one point, I suppose. They found the genetic information of an old world dweller in a place they call Ruins of the Old World, used it to reconstruct my memories, and incorporated them into this body All of this was possible because I had a collaborator, but as for the information about said collaborator, Im pulling a blankmaybe because its been deleted

Just as he sorted the information available to him, his meal was brought into the room. By a completely autonomous robot.

Yuuta decided to gratefully accept the food.

I guess I have to also put my clothing in order. If I remember correctly, robots capable of haircuts exist as well, dont they?

He had taken over the memories of the previous owner of this body, so it didnt look like hed have any problems with knowledge on how to live here, information about this world, or the common sense of this world.

Yuuta operated his tablet-type of device, scheduling a haircut for the time after finishing his meal.

Because it was commonplace for school lessons to be taught via online courses, or if desired, by a teaching robot, students didnt go to class and study over there like in the old world.

So everything would have been fine if Yuuta had carried out his lessons and required Service Activities in his room.

Wellhe got a trauma because there was a little incident during his very first Service Activity.

When the previous Yuuta performed his first Service Activity after becoming a junior high first-yearit turned into a huge scandal as his female partner committed a forbidden act of touching. The woman in question got harshly punished. And Yuuta, who was afflicted with a mental illness due to this incident, secluded himself in his room, refusing to do any further Service Activities.

As his reaction stemmed from that incident, the state initially made special concessions towards Yuuta, doing its best to somehow get him back on his feet, butunfortunately all the efforts and care didnt bear fruit.

No matter how precious he was as a male and even granted that his issues originated from an incident, as long as he couldnt fulfill his obligation

Gradually the evaluation of Yuuta worsened. From men and women alike.

In short, its pointless to feed and provide everything to someone who doesnt work. Well, I guess thats only reasonable in this world.

Despairing over his situation, Yuuta found himself a collaborator and decided to yield his body to another individual.

As all memories surrounding the collaborator and the fate of the previous Yuuta had been erased, the current Yuuta couldnt tell what happened to either. He hypothesized that the previous Yuuta might have obtained another body and was now living inside his new body. At least the current Yuuta wished for that to be the case.

Now then, instead of worrying about the previous Yuuta-kun, I should rather worry about myself, the current Yuuta.

The situation was bad. Or to be precise, it was close to being a disaster.

As F-Rank, the current Yuuta was labeled as a target of scorn by society.

Starting from a perilous situationI deserve that.

Going by his old world memories, Yuuta recalled that his own end had been the worst. His parents suddenly passed away from a virus that had spread globally. What cornered him, who was 28 years old at that time, even further during his mourning was his company which urged him to voluntarily retire due to a restructuring triggered by the economic downturn.

It wasnt as though he was a troublemaker at his company. But, Yuuta wasnt particularly excellent at his job either. Seeing as he was no one who brought his company profits or sales as part of accounting, Yuuta got fired. And having lost his job, even his girlfriend at that time left him for another man.

Falling into despair, Yuuta completely withdrew into his roomand passed away all by himself.

Did I match with the previous Yuuta because I was also a shut-in during my final days? Well, whatever might be the case, I have obtained this body thanks to Yuuta-kun. Ill treat it cherishingly while considering this as my second life.

Maybe because his body tried to adapt to the memories of his soul, Yuutas body began to change after the intense pain of the first three days. It was shifting toward becoming more like Yuutas body from his previous life in the old world.

First offIll take the Medical Exam which Yuuta-kun has been skipping altogether.

Making up his mind to take a positive mindset about his new world, Yuuta started to act.
