"Ugh,"
Zach slowly opened his eyes, blinking. "Huh," instantly, he was confused because he was inside a room that looked like a huge monastery with high, vaulted ceilings and pillars surrounding the large, vast space.
"Wait... where am I? The last thing I remember is being hit by a car and thrown with my motorcycle," Zach muttered in his heart.
He turned his head left and right, trying to look around and process what he saw in front of him. But when he tried to get up, he couldn't move; he felt his body was incredibly stiff.
"Huh... why can't I move?" Zach asked in his heart.
Then he looked down reflexively, his eyes widening as he saw a motorcycle wheel directly in front of him. He looked left and right in a panic until he finally realized that it wasn't his head turning, but actually the motorcycle's front wheel and handlebars.
He tried to look back but couldn't, and finally, he realized he was the headlight of a motorcycle, and not just that, he understood that he was a motorcycle parked at the end of the room.
"T-this is impossible... I'm a motorcycle? That truly doesn't make any sense," Zach muttered in his head.
He tried to speak and scream, but no sound came out because he didn't have a mouth. Zach started to panic, his mind suddenly went blank. He didn't know what to do; he tried to move, but all he could do was watch the front wheel turn right and left.
After turning back and forth for a while and trying to scream, he finally stared straight to the right, more precisely towards the door at the far end of the room, which looked very distant, but he could see that it was chained.
Then he started looking around and realized he was clearly in a strange place. Finally, he gave up trying and settled into silence.
"What am I supposed to do now? I can't move except to turn right and left with the wheel in front of me," Zach muttered in his heart.
"Boom," suddenly the floor shook. A large creature's footsteps could be heard, each step making the ground vibrate. Zach immediately turned his "head" to the right, right toward the door, and his eyes instantly widened. The reason was, he saw a huge creature with a bull's head, large horns, bull's legs, a human-like body, and standing on two feet. Its body was covered in black fur and looked incredibly muscular.
It was nearly half the height of the room and was wearing armor-like clothing.
"Huh... what is that creature? Where did it come from? Why is it here? How did it get in?" Zach asked in his heart, observing the large creature that was stepping right and left beside him with a sense of fear and a pounding heart.
While he was still confused, suddenly "whoosh," a holographic screen opened in front of his "face." Zach was startled because he felt like he was inside Iron Man's helmet with many digital holographic screens displayed by an AI. He read the screen:
***********************************************
Analyze result :
Monster name : King Minotaur.
Rank : S.
Speed : Moderate.
Weakness : Fire magic.
***********************************************
Zach looked back to the right and saw the Minotaur walking back and forth in the middle of the room, then stopping in the center, facing the door.
"Okay, so that thing is called a King Minotaur... wait a minute, is this what they mean by 'isekai' in those manga Sonia always reads? My garage employee also said his kid was obsessed with isekai stories. I read a little bit after losing Heather so I could talk to Sonia," Zach muttered in his heart.
Zach looked back, examining the Minotaur on his right. Then he looked once more at the room he was in, which clearly wasn't on Earth.
"Yep, this is another world, I'm sure of it. This is isekai, just like in those manga stories about reincarnation in another world... but... why did I turn into a motorcycle? I love repairing bikes, assembling bikes, and racing, but actually being a bike?" Zach asked in his heart, thinking.
As he was musing, suddenly another holographic screen opened in front of his eyes. He read it, and it turned out to be a tutorial on how to control his body. He immediately read it from top to bottom and only then realized that his "eyes" acted as a cursor that could scroll the screen up, down, and even click things. The tutorial said that he didn't need gasoline as fuel because he used mana energy.
To control himself, he was instructed to imagine that he was riding a motorcycle, doing a start engine, and then trying to twist the throttle in his "hand." Without thinking much more, Zach closed his eyes. He imagined himself riding a motorcycle, putting in the key, and pushing the start button. "Vroooong," suddenly he felt himself come alive, and the sound of a motorcycle engine echoed in the huge room. Hearing the loud noise behind it, the Minotaur turned around to look at the smoke coming from Zach's exhaust pipe.
"Boom... boom,"
The Minotaur started walking toward Zach, carrying its huge axe on its shoulder.
"Oh no, he's coming here... damn it... what am I supposed to do?" Zach muttered, watching the Minotaur step closer to him.
He immediately searched the tutorial for how to move, dodge, and attack. His "eyes" darted up and down, looking for the right text on the screen. Finally, he saw a guide for his skills. He opened the skill menu right away to see his abilities, but the skill screen was blank and there was nothing there. Zach looked over, seeing the seemingly confused Minotaur getting closer. He finally closed all the screens in front of his eyes and "vrooong," he imagined himself riding a motorcycle and spinning around on one wheel.
The motorcycle immediately spun, now facing the Minotaur directly, which stopped moving because of the incredibly blinding motorcycle headlight.
"Attack," Zach screamed in his head and imagined accelerating his motorcycle forward, lifting the front wheel, and jumping into the air—because it turned out he was on a fairly high podium and the Minotaur in front of him was actually gigantic.
Once in the air, he imagined performing a stunt that involved spinning the rear end of the motorcycle. The motorcycle immediately spun in the air and "BAM," its rear section slammed into the Minotaur's face, sending the creature's head snapping violently to the side and its body crashing to the ground.
"Screech," Zach landed, then spun around again, getting ready by revving his throttle so the roar of his engine echoed even louder in the room. The Minotaur slowly got back up, shaking its head. Then it turned and looked at Zach with a sharp glare. "Groaaaar," it stood up straight and roared at Zach, who flinched slightly.
"It's been a long time since I felt an adrenaline rush like this," Zach muttered with a smile.
He immediately sped his motorcycle towards the Minotaur. "BLAM," "SCREEECH," the Minotaur swung its axe, and Zach nimbly dodged it so the axe slammed into the ground. Zach immediately lifted his front wheel again and slammed into the Minotaur's chest, but not just that—he immediately drove vertically up the Minotaur's body and launched upward.
Then he landed behind the Minotaur and spun around again while revving the engine. Suddenly, a screen appeared in front of Zach's eyes.
[Skill Flame Missile acquired.]
Zach immediately opened his skill screen, and inside, a skill named Flame Missile appeared. He immediately selected it. "Click," his gas tank cover opened and "swooosh," a missile shot upward, then exploded in the air. The explosion fired hundreds of mini-missiles toward the Minotaur.
"Groaaaaah,"
The Minotaur screamed as hundreds of fire missiles hit its body and exploded simultaneously. "BOOM," the Minotaur's huge body fell face-first to the ground, shaking the entire ground and the surrounding structure violently. Then slowly, the Minotaur's body began to disintegrate into light dust and vanished into the air.
Zach breathed a sigh of relief. Then "whoosh," a screen automatically opened in front of his eyes.

Zach, reading his status, immediately smiled widely. He opened the spare part shop window and saw all the spare parts he could buy and install on his body to add special features to himself as a motorcycle or just to improve his appearance.
"This is interesting... really, really interesting," Zach muttered excitedly, seemingly having completely forgotten the trauma of what happened to him.
Zach immediately looked through all the kinds of spare parts and engine components he could add to himself, like a kid who just got a new toy. His mechanic's soul was working hard, thinking about all the possibilities he could build that didn't exist in his previous world.
