'Fuck, they're terminating this research and my entire funding.'
Dorian checked his phone and saw the email that the government just sent him.
[Dr. Dorian, after careful consideration, the board has decided that....]
He switched off his phone.
'Who cares about their 'humble regards' message and they're 'kind' words, Bastards.'
'Well, it's for the better, at least I won't have to stay in this shithole of an island filled with these degenerates' fucks who I have to call my coworkers and sleep in these shitty tents.'
The tent was large and there were 5 people sleeping around.
'These degenerates won't let me sleep with their snores; I might as well go and explore the meteorite'
Dorian stood up from his sleeping bag and exited the tent.
The meteorite was several meters away, and it was encased like a sphere to scrutinise and research it. It wasn't large but only had a few meters in diameter.
He walked up to the meteorite to observe the readings. He activated the machines and the sensors and then grabbed a seat and observed the monitors.
***
It has been an hour since Dorian started to do some tests, then---
CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!
A loud rumbling reverberated. It sounded like lightning. It scared the shit out of Dorian.
'Huh? What's happening? What is this noise?'
Dorian quickly rushed towards the noise. He was slow because of his fat body. Then he noticed that the noise was coming from the meteorite.
'What's happening? Is it a system malfunction? Did the encasement sphere have an electrical surge?'
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The encasement sphere had shattered in an instant of a time. It sent shards everywhere.
He quickly sprinted in the direction where his coworkers were sleeping soundly.
But before he could reach the coworkers, the sound behind him intensified.
A sudden outburst of light expanded, and it blinded him.
The noise that followed was like thunder.
A shockwave quickly expanded, and it launched him.
He was sent slamming into the nearby trees.
The shockwave shattered his eardrums. Blood was flowing out of his ears.
His body was a fountain of blood, and his eyes were rose-red. A large trunk was lodged in his body from the front to the back
'Fuck, this is how I die as a fattened calf. I did not achieve my dreams, and neither did I fulfil that wish.
Dorian's body was failing him. The vital organs were severely injured.
He was about to lose his consciousness.
With his last strength, he looked up and saw the meteorite. It was glowing and was like the sun.
Dorian's bodily functions were shutting down, and finally, Dorian lost consciousness.
***
Dorian suddenly gained consciousness.
'Is this heaven? Where am I? Haha, as C.S. Lewis used to say,
"To enter heaven is to become more human than you ever succeeded in being on earth".
But then Dorian realised something, He was not in heaven. He was in the body of someone else. He observed his surroundings. It looked like an old study room. There was a paper front of him and blood everywhere.
There was a dagger in his hand.
'Did I just transmigrate? Is it like those novels?'
I saw the paper in front of me. It was written in another language, but he could read it.
[ I am ending it all. I can't endure it any further.]
'Huh? Why does the guy whose body I possess want to end it all? What a fucking pussy. Killing oneself is the lowest a coward can go.'
He quickly wandered around the study room. He saw a mirror and caught a glimpse of his face. There was not a single wound in Dorian's body.
'Why did this coward kill himself with such a face and such a body? haha finally my intellect can match my body'
He began to rhyme his words and stared at the mirror for a very long time. He stops glazing himself because there is a larger problem at hand.
He does not understand why he has transmigrated. He does not know the reason this handsome guy's body, which he just possessed, had committed suicide.
'Well, this bloke fellow wanted to die in the study room, so I guess no one will bother me for a while'
The study room was enormous. It was like a grand library with countless books.
He looked out of the window and saw the white moon glowing in the night sky. It spread its tranquillity everywhere and was a stunning sight for anyone to see. The moon was far brighter than the moon he saw back in his world.
Countless books, quiet ambience, luminous moon, but the thing that ruins it is the blood all over the table.
'I should clean this blood. By the state of this blood, it has not yet coagulated entirely. Looking at the blood, I believe this guy killed himself half an hour ago. Well, easier for me to clean'
He grabbed a towel that was placed in the massive study room and began to clean up blood. After he cleaned kept the towel hidden in some rubble of books. Now that he had cleaned the table, he looked at the books. There was a mountain of books. This was a boon for some who has just transmigrated.
'Where do I even start?'
Dorian began to climb the ladder and read the titles of the books.
"How to get unlimited gold coins"
"How to become richer than even the dwarves"
"999 ways to open a shop"
'This guy sure wanted to be rich; there are countless such books'
After searching through the sections of books and finding useless books, Dorian finally set his eyes on something useful.
"The entire history of the world, I guess"
'Well, that took a long time; this probably looks good enough. Let's see where I transmigrated, what kind of world it is"
[First Almighty God said Let there be light and...]
'Is this the default to the start of a civilisation's interpretation of God? I'll skip some pages about the almighty god creating some bullshit.'
[After creating the universe and the creatures, the supreme almighty created races-Humans, elves, dwarves, demons, dragons, ogres, goblins, angels, fish-folks, ink men, stone men, ice men and countless other races which have special characteristics in the domain of intellect and strength. Which were created in portions of God's image.]
"There are mermaids in this world", Dorian exclaimed with excitement.
As Dorian began to read the book, Dorian heard footsteps at the door.
'Who is approaching?'
Dorian quickly slid the book into his cabinet and hid behind a bookshelf.
"Mr Blaine, the dinner is ready....wait.....Mr. Blaine, Mr Blaine"
Dorian peeked through the bookshelf and saw an old man with a curly moustache in a tidy suit shout, Mr Blaine over and over again.
'This guy looks like the most generic butler ever'
"I am here; I was just searching for some books"
The butler nodded, and he exited the room.
'Well, a hungry stomach can't provide energy forever, I'd better eat something.'
Dorian exited the study room and was led into a corridor.
'I should've followed the butler. Why is this house so enormous?'
***
A small hut, somewhere in a dark alley.
"Did you see him die?" asked a man who wore a black hood.
From seemingly nowhere, a sound came, but no one was there.
"Yes, Blaine is dead", replied the voice.
