In a luxurious room of a modern looking mansion with with all the necessities required for life, on a king sized bed, an average looking young man was sleeping peacefully.
Suddenly, his eyes opened wide as he sat straight on the bed as he started breathing hard. "Huff... Huff... Whe-where am... I?" I said as I look around the room.
It was large, bigger than almost my house where I live, though it's just a cheap apartment I have to buy after selling my parents house.
"Wasn't I... dead?" I asked myself as I looked at my hands, they were slimmer than my previous fat self as I ran towards the mirror in the room so as to check my appearance.
"Is it... me?" I asked myself again. Even I was becoming conscious as to how many questions I was asking myself now but what could I do. Waking up in an unfamiliar body after dying, surely my minds will be full of questions.
Looking at my face which can be said as... average, I was happy. No, I was more than happy, I was so happy that years started to fall from my eyes.
What could you expect from someone like me, who has only seen a short, fat and ugly self of mine whenever I came close to mirror and saw my reflection and suddenly now, I was looking at myself in the mirror as an average person with an average face and average heights.
Surely, I have every rights to be happy. But even though this face of mine looks average there was something unusual about my hairs and eyes.
My hairs were silver with a few golden ones here and there and as for my eyes, they too were sun like golden, shining as if it has its own power source to produce light.
As I look carefully, I realised another thing, "These hairs are painted." I thought as I sighed softly, and here I thought they are natural. But my eyes are for sure golden as there was no lens or anything like that.
After checking my appearance and calming down myself, I say on the king sized bed as I look at the room which scream the word 'rich' to me.
"It seems that I have somehow... taken over this body and the original owner seems like he belongs to some rich family. I still haven't received the memories of the original owner of the body.
It will be troublesome if I suddenly lost memory." I thought as I frowned.
"No, I feel like I am missing something. I need to think from the start, like why or how do I even take over in this body and how much time has passed since I died or am I in same world or not?" A barrage of questions appeared in my mind as I closed my eyes.
It can even be possible that I might be in the same world or in an entirely different world, since if taking over someone's body is possible, then why can't another world.
Truth be told, I don't remember much about the time of my death. The only thing I can clearly remember is that I turned my face before I was slapped away by the truck like a mosquito is done by a human but still...
"I feels like I am forgetting something very important." I said trying to remember something as I checked the time, it was mid night so I have a lot a of time till morning. As I was lost in my own thoughts, a ringing sound snapped me back to reality.
Ding!
[Transmigration Successful!]
As I saw the screen in front of me, my eyes opened wide as I remembered the thing I was forgetting all this while.
"Damn! How can forgot something so important!" I said to myself in disbelief. How could forget about the system which I just received before my death and... from what the screen is telling me, the reason behind how I can to posses this body is also this system.
"So, umm~ system, what are you?" I asked the system.
[I am Ancient One System, Host.]
It said in a mechanical like voice as I waited for it to continue but even after a minute of waiting, it doesn't seem to reply again. "That's it." I asked.
[Yes host, that's it.]
"Oo--kay, so, why do you choose me as your host."
[Insufficient Authority.]
"What's your origin."
[Insufficient Authority.]
.
[Insufficient Authority.]
...
After a series of Questioning, I understood one thing. Any questions which I ask about system, it's origin and others such high level questions was met with a same answer, which is [Insufficient Authority].
After understanding that, I changed the types of questions to simple ones, like where am I or is it the same world or not and to my surprise, we aren't in the same world!! How amazing it is!! Isekai'ed here by truck-kun!!
"Oh, one more thing, why haven't I still received the memories of the original owner of the body. It will be troublesome if I have no memories, right?"

[Am extra soul detected in the host's current body!]
[Please Choose:-
1. Devour
2. Merge
3. None
Note:- 1. Host own soul is also at lowest rank so devouring it can cause injuries to soul or some other accidents except death.
2. Merging with the soul can affect the sense of self and personality can be affected by the other soul. Even fully overpowered by the other soul.
3. Choosing none would leave host body incompatible with host current Body and Soul. Host also will not be able to get memories of original body ever again.
4. Host only have 59 seconds to choose before none is choosen as default.]
"What in the name of hell?" I asked myself as I looked at the new screen as system asked me to choose one of the three option and that too in but 59 seconds, or in 58, 57....
Looking at the three options, I first removed the third from my list to choose in default. There is no way I am going to pretend like those MC's in of cultivation novels who pretend to have lost memories when they transmitted by doesn't receive memories.
"There is no way I am going to choose option two, what's the use of me having a system when the one who will be using it will be not me but someone else.
System has already mentioned that after merger, it's also possible that other soul become more dormant that mine and my existence can become insignificant. So the best option here is 1st but..." 'but what might be those accidents, I wonder'.
Even though there was still a bit of danger in choosing the first options, I steeled my heart before choosing. "System, I choose option 1. I want to devour that soul." I said.
[Option 1:- 'Devour' is selected!]
[Devouring the soul!!]
As it said that, I suddenly felt something inside of me becoming stronger aa my thoughts become more transparent and clean, a ton of memories started playing on front of me from insignificant ones to some very important ones.
It felt like movie in a very fast forward setting but strangely enough, I was still able to understand each and every thing which was happening in that movie and by the time the movie came to an end, I was shocked.
No, shocked will be an understatement if I says it, I was so utterly shocked that I couldn't help but shout out loud, "Holy shit!!!" I said as I watch the memories with red burning eyes. I was so engrossed in it that I don't even realised the notifications I received from system.
[Ding!]
[It has been detected that a 'Personality Trait' from the soul matches the 'Personality Trait' of Host soul!]
