In the dimly lit room, where only the sound of the monitor's speaker was running, a young man was sitting in front of it, slurping the instant noodles.
Rix was watching his 148th isekai anime, 'Reincarnated as a Supreme Dragon God Who Accidentally Invented Harem Cultivation.'
He looked down at his food almost empty, he let out a loud sigh " ahh.. it finished this fast?" he got up from his seat, grumbling some words under his breath, and walked toward the refrigerator.
The room was kinda messy, to be honest calling it messy would be a understatement, it looked more like a war zone.
half eaten chips packets were lying on the floor, empty cold drink cans were kept on the shelf like some sort of trophy, and a pair of socks was hanging on the ceiling fan.
reaching the kitchen, he grabbed the handle and pulled. It broke instantly, "huh?" Rix mumbled, he didn't overreact or probably didn't care.
he threw the handle to the washbasin and carried on pulling the door of the refrigerator, Finally, the door opened. looking at the inside, his face became grim, there was nothing left in the fridge either.
"shitt," he cursed and shut the door and walked over to the main door and opened it, before stepping outside, he took his black coat, the coat really smelled like it hadn't been washed for weeks.
he then stepped out of his apartment.
it was night, loomed with complete silence except for the few vehicles.
looking at the night sky, he sighed again. Rix was an orphan, he had grown up drifting from place to place. After his long struggle and hard work, he managed to secure a well and good job, at least enough to fill his stomach.
He didn't have any friends to begin with, so he lived all alone. After reaching a certain point in life, he started finding solace, happiness, and pleasure in watching drama and anime. In those wild and colourful stories, he found the reflection of the person he wished he could be, heroes starting from nothingness and becoming strong. Obviously HAREM TOOO!!
Rix slowly climbed down his apartment stair, it was a five-story building, after reaching the compound he walked to the nearby store to buy something to eat.
reaching the store he brought his favorite ramen and walked back to his apartment, while waiting to cross the road his movements stopped. he heard some noise coming from the side in a dark alley.
"Graaahhh....arrhhggg" suddenly a shiver run through his spine, this kind of creepy was not something that he had ever heard.
but before he could check what it was a fast moving truck hit him making him fly dozens of meters away.
he didn't even get to properly process what had happened, just now he heard some creepy voice in that dark alley, he was damn sure that it was something very creepy, but before he could check he was hit by a truck, what was this, a coincidence!!
His body now lay sprawled across the cold pavement like a broken doll; his one shoe was missing, and his limbs were twisted at unnatural angles. blood pooled beneath him, soaking into his coat, his eyes were wide like they were trying to understand what had just happened.
the truck driver looked at the poor men lying on the floor, and he sped up his truck and escaped before anyone could see him.
"bastard," Rix cursed under his breath before he closed his eyes.
After a few minutes--------
Rix suddenly opened his eyes, looking at his surroundings, he was confused, he was confused not because of what happened to him, but because things didn't go as he expected.
He was very sure that he would get transmigrated after getting hit by a truck, but why? because he had watched a lot of anime with these typical tropes, so you could say that it was his natural instinct, at that split moment where he got hit by a truck he had already imagined the entire story of his journey in a very beautiful fantasy world, where he become slowly powerful and built his harem.
He was expecting all of these, but all he saw was pure darkness as he opened his eyes.
he was lying in this dark space, looking at his surroundings, all he could see was pure darkness, at least that's what he thought.
Lifting his head up, his eyes widened in disbelief. His body was fully healed!!, There were no wounds or twisted angles, he was as normal as he was before.
Not knowing what to do, he slowly stood up, the ground beneath him didn't feel like a floor, it was made up of darkness itself. He felt like somebody had given shape to this thing.
looking around, all he could see was endless darkness, somehow he could feel his body, which made him relax a bit.
Rix didn't know where to go, as there was nothing he could do to navigate his direction. After a few minutes of standing there conjured many possibilities with his years of watching isekai, but nothing matched.
He then sighed and decided to take a step forward.
The moment he took a step forward, an arrow out of nowhere came and thrusted into his left shoulder making him scream in pain and stumble backwards.
"AAHHHAHHHGGRAGGH"
he screamed feeling the pain in his shoulder, but before he could check his wound another arrow came and struct him in right shoulder.
"ARGHH"
he felt immense pain on his shoulder as they dislocated.
Whoever or whatever was doing this to him, they didn't give him enough time as series of arrows shot out from the dark space.
"SWISSHH!!"
"SWISSHH!!"
One arrow pierced his right hand.
The other pierced his left.
then came numerous arrows directed at his torso and legs.
Blood oozed out of his body like a flood.
His throat convulsed as a jagged scream tore free.
His balance shook as his body fell backward to the dark ground with a loud thud!!
