The streets bustled with people, the crosswalk filled with office workers heading to their jobs. Skyscrapers made of glass reflected the sunlight, casting a shimmering glow across the city.
A boy ran through the crowd, accidentally bumping into an elderly man who was engrossed in his smartphone. The man stopped and glared at the boy. "Where are you looking, boy?" he grumbled.
The boy bowed slightly and apologized, "I'm really very sorry," his voice soft and nervous.
The man turned and walked away, muttering curses about the youth's lack of manners on the streets.
"Shit, shit, I'm going to be late," the boy mumbled, running again. But as he reached the crosswalk, it was already clear. He looked up at the timer; it blinked 7 in red.
"Damn it!" He took a step forward and saw cars lined up on both sides, engines growling, ready to move the moment the signal turned green.
'*I can't be late today,*' Toya thought, running his hand through his brown hair, his black eyes catching the reflected rays of the sun.
He dashed forward just as the signal turned green. Cars surged from both sides, but he sliced through them, running as if his life depended on it.
"You damn brat, what are you doing?" people yelled from behind as he darted in front of their cars.
Toya paid them no heed; he just ran, his hair flapping in the air. '*I need to get there on time,*' the thought spiraled in his mind.
Soon, he reached a park and halted in front of the gate, breathing heavily. He raised his hand and glanced at his watch, a smile tugging at his lips. "Yes, I made it in time," he rejoiced.
He stepped inside the park, fixing his posture and clothes. He wore decent attire: a loose denim jacket and black pants.
The sun blazed overhead, the trees casting long, soothing shadows. On a bench beneath a tree sat a girl, her pink dress glistening in the reflected light, her long, majestic hair waving in the breeze.
Toya's face flushed, his body trembling faintly as nervousness seeped over him. He slowly walked up to her, gulped hard, and hesitated before speaking. "Uh, hello, Rika-chan," his voice soft.
The girl shifted her gaze and smiled slightly. "Hello, Toya-kun, please sit," her soft and charming voice making Toya's heart beat faster.
He sat down beside her.
A breeze swept by, carrying leaves and sand. Neither spoke. Toya and Rika had been dating for five months, but only online. This was the first time Rika had asked Toya to meet her in person at the park. Their online relationship had been smooth as butter.
"Uhm, Toya-kun, I called you here to tell you something important," she said slowly, blushing.
Toya listened closely, his cheeks and ears a deep shade of red, his mind racing with a single thought: *Sex, sex, sex.*
"Yes, what is it?" he asked, stumbling over his words.
"So, I really enjoy our talks, and your funny chats always make me smile."
"Thank you."
"This is really important, which is why I called you here," she paused, then continued after a moment. "Actually, there's someone else I like, so we should stop."
"Huh?" Toya's face froze, as if he couldn't process what was happening.
"We should break up. I'm sorry," Rika said, then stood and walked away, leaving Toya alone on the bench.
He sat there as leaves rustled in the deep silence, the world feeling like it was crumbling. The smile on his lips faded, his heart pounding wildly. '*Why? What did I do this time?*' his mind spiraled as tears welled in his eyes.
Teardrops fell slowly onto the dry earth. Toya's face curled in deep sorrow and regret.
This wasn't the first time. It was the fourth time a girl had abruptly broken up with him. Twenty-four and still a virgin.
Time passed, and the sun began to set, but Toya didn't move. He sat like a frozen statue. Finally, he stood and walked with uneven steps, his face downturned.
He left the park and stepped onto the main road, now filled with people heading home from work. Toya didn't care. He slipped into a store to buy alcohol.
Half-drunk and heartbroken, he wandered through a dark, empty alleyway.
Toya's life was a disaster. He was at the peak of cultivating the talent one might call "failure."
He had tried to lose his virginity many times, but something always went wrong. Once, he met a girl online offering sex for a low price, but when he arrived at the agreed-upon place, a group of four boys blackmailed him and took his money.
Another time, he went to a secret love hotel, paying a huge sum. Just as he was about to experience heaven, the police knocked on the door. Caught naked and red-handed, he had to pay an expensive fine.
As he stumbled through the alleyway, he reached a dead end, a wall looming before him. "What are you looking at, huh?" he growled, slamming his fist against it. Tears streamed down his face.
"Ah, what happened? Why are you crying?" a sweet, feminine voice caught his attention. He turned immediately.
A woman stood there, her face flushed. She had large breasts, her nipples visible through her thin, sweat-soaked shirt.
Her eyes half-closed, she was clearly drunk. Toya couldn't stop staring at her curvy figure—such a prominent chest and hips.
Only one thought crossed his mind: '*Whoa, so big.*' His body moved on its own. He gulped hard moving towards the lady, raised his hands, and grabbed her breasts. The woman let out a soft moan.
Toya couldn't believe it. His gaze met hers, and she looked at him with eyes full of lust.
"Aren't you a naughty one?" she said, her voice slow and soft, almost moaning. Her face inched closer, her plump lips nearing his.
Suddenly, Toya heard it—the screech of brakes. Blinding lights filled his eyes. In that moment, his body moved instinctively, and he pushed the woman aside.
And then—CRASH!
The truck slammed him into the wall, his body reduced to a mess of blood and flesh.
*Huh, what happened? I was just about to have my first kiss with such a beautiful woman, and that damn truck… that bastard. Why can't they drive safely? I wish I were a woman; then I'd give all the single boys that heavenly pleasure.*
[Request accepted—initiating soul transfer process]
*Huh, what was that?*
[Perfect body found for soul transfer]
"No, wait, I was joking! Stop it!"
Toya's voice echoed infinitely into the void as darkness engulfed him. His consciousness slipped away with every passing second, and soon, everything went black.
