'Terror Infinity?!' Looking at the fantastical scene before him, these four words instantly flashed through Takeru's mind!
He was completely dumbfounded, 'Why hadn't a cheat appeared, but rather this kind of life-threatening thing?'
For sixteen years, Takeru had tried to see if any special events existed, but aside from certain Chuunibyo forums, it was clear this world held no supernatural powers or phenomena.
Meanwhile, in another apartment unit less than two hundred meters from Takeru's building, a boy with Chuunibyo, who like Takeru had just entered high school, was thinking to himself, 'I was isolated in middle school because of this... It's time to be normal in high school.'
He was preparing to formally bid farewell to his Chuunibyo and return to a normal high school life.
However, just as he was saying goodbye to his past, a virtual text appeared before his eyes. Seeing this bizarre sight, the boy trembled uncontrollably. 'This... this can't be real...'
And besides the boy, in the apartment above him, a girl also deep in her Chuunibyo phase received the same prompt. "It's real! It's finally happening to me!"
Excited by this, the girl directly shouted, "Yes!"
The moment she made her choice, a dark spatial vortex appeared, instantly sucking the girl in. She vanished into thin air, yet her surroundings remained completely unaffected.
…
Elsewhere, in another house, a girl was leisurely eating potato chips and looking at her phone in her room when the same virtual text appeared before her.
"What's going on? What is this? Am I hallucinating?" The girl stared blankly at the text in front of her, unable to figure out what was happening.
"Onee-chan! Onee-chan!" Suddenly, a girl who looked very similar to her rushed in, a hint of panic in her expression.
"Ui, what's wrong?" Seeing the frightened look on her younger sister's face, Yui asked with concern.
"I... words suddenly appeared in front of my eyes! It asked if I want to understand the meaning of life and truly live!" The girl quickly explained the situation to her sister.
"Ui, you saw it too?" Hearing her sister's words, Yui finally realized something was very wrong. "You have it as well?"
"Onee-chan, you...!" Noticing her sister's use of the word 'too', the younger sister stared blankly at Yui.
…
Besides these two, this same scene was occurring in various places all over the city.
Returning to Takeru, after staring at the text before him and thinking for a moment, he made a decision.
'Since transmigration was already a thing, continuing to live a plain and ordinary life feels a bit like a waste. And if Reincarnators already exist... someone dangerous could be out there. I need to be able to protect myself and Miu.'
Having made up his mind, Takeru decisively pressed 'yes'!
Instantly, a black vortex appeared, and Takeru's figure was swallowed by it, disappearing from the bathroom.
When Takeru opened his eyes again, he found himself in a pure white space. Besides himself, he saw eight other people around him. However, it seemed he was the first one to wake up.
Quickly scanning the group, Takeru didn't make any rash moves. 'Better not draw attention. There might be veterans here.'
After observing for a bit, Takeru noticed most of the people here were girls. What surprised him even more was that most of the people around seemed to be students, except for one man in a suit who looked like a salaryman...
Looking at everyone, Takeru felt their faces were somewhat familiar. 'Do I know them from somewhere? No, focus. I should check myself first.'
Thinking this, Takeru cautiously began to examine his own body. Soon, he found something resembling a watch on his arm.
On it, Takeru saw a large numeral '3'. 'Number three? What does that mean?'
After a brief inspection of the watch, Takeru found it couldn't be removed… it seemed fused with his right arm.
Seeing this, Takeru stopped worrying about it. Looking at the buttons on it, he began pressing them at random.
As Takeru pressed a blue button, a special virtual panel soon appeared before his eyes.

Seeing this, Takeru was momentarily stunned. 'Thirty-eight Spirit... Is this the advantage of a transmigrator? Is this also the reason for my good memory since childhood?'
