I looked down.
long legs. Slim arms. A red outfit.
Marzenskyyyy.
"…No way."
I stumbled back, tripping over my own feet. My heart was pounding. This was not my room. White walls, a small bed, a plain desk, a phone charger plugged in. Nothing familiar. Nothing made sense.
I grabbed the phone beside me, my hands shaking. It unlocked instantly. Only one app worked. Uma Musume Pretty Derby. Nothing else.
I tapped the screen, still half panicked, half desperate. Character select.
Marzensky.
The screen flashed. The world wobbled. My stomach lurched. And then I noticed it.
A mirror on the wall. Something glimmered over it, faint and strange. I walked closer, and a panel appeared over my reflection.
Marzensky(Kaiya Sora)
Age: 17
Height: 160 cm
Speed: 92
Stamina: 88
Power: 85
Guts: 90
Intelligence: 78

Ultimate Skill: ???
I froze. My brain could not catch up. What was happening? My name… my stats… a panel? Was this really a system? Like, a full transmigrator system? Just like in those stupid anime and light novels? I blinked and leaned closer.
"Oh… no way… I actually got a transmigrator system?!" I squeaked, my voice too loud for the empty room. "Wait, this is… real? This is actually real?!"
I pressed the stats. My fingers hovered over speed, stamina, power, guts, and intelligence. Responsive. I could almost feel the potential in them.
No skills yet. Not even a trace. Just the base stats. And that ultimate skill line. I stared at it.
If I suffer enough, the impossible becomes possible.
I laughed without thinking, half excited, half panicked. "Okay… okay, I can work with this! This is insane! A system! I have a transmigrator system! And it's mine!"
I stumbled back, pressed the reflection again, then jabbed the screen. Stats flickered, panel hovered, and I almost fell over. My heart raced.
This was insane. Unreal. Exciting. Terrifying.
And the best part? I could actually play. I could start this world. I could make it mine.
I took a deep breath, fists tight, staring at my reflection. Akiwa Yayoi's determined young eyes stared back.
"Alright," I said, almost yelling. "Let's see how far I can go. Let's see what this system can do!"
This wasn't just a room anymore. Not just a phone app. Not just a dream.
