Chapter 1: "The Transfer"
Strange.
I open my eyes and feel a throbbing headache in an unfamiliar place.
"W–where… is this?"
The place I woke up in looked like some sort of medical room—faded white walls carrying a faint smell of disinfectant, and a cold, harsh light shining from above. Beside me was a small table with medical tools and bandage boxes, and on the wall, a half-open window letting in a gentle breeze that carried an eerie silence.
The room was too quiet… as if it had been waiting for me to wake up.
I couldn't understand what was happening. Minutes ago, I was preparing to sleep, and the moment I closed my eyes, I found myself here—in this strange room.
"Gojo… are you still feeling the effects of the seal?"
Huh? A seal? What is she talking about? Wait—Gojo?!
I look to my side and see a familiar face… not familiar because I know her personally, but because she looks exactly like someone from a manga. And she really said Gojo?! What the hell is going on?
"Shoko?"
Shoko replies with a puzzled expression, "Yeah… why do you look so shocked?"
"No… I just need to rest for a bit."
She looked confused, but didn't question me further.
I stood up and walked out of the unfamiliar room.
I was stunned by how bizarre the situation was, but I had to accept it: somehow, I had become Gojo Satoru.
And from Shoko's words about "coming out of the seal," it seems I reincarnated right after Gojo was unsealed… how strange.
I used to be just a fan of Jujutsu Kaisen, and of course, I know about the fight waiting for me—Sukuna, one month from now.
And even worse… Gojo loses. And dies.
Why… why did I reincarnate at the worst possible moment?
Yet strangely, I felt calm, almost accepting of my situation.
Right—the headache. Ever since I woke up here, something felt off. It's like I've overlapped with Gojo's original memories.
I can feel energy moving through my body… as if I inherited his instincts and combat experience.
That means I can fully use all of Gojo's abilities.
Good. At least I won't die from not being able to handle Limitless or the brain load.
I need to think of a way to defeat Sukuna… but how?
Walking down the hallway, I heard voices. I glanced over and saw Yuji, Kusakabe, Yuta, and the others discussing something.
Judging by the tone… they were preparing for the possibility of my loss—just like in the original timeline.
Alright. I won't interfere. I need to find a way to defeat Sukuna with the knowledge I already have.
The voices faded as I walked farther away.
"I have one month… I need to use it in the best way possible—
to avoid the worst ending."
