Chapter 1: Prologue
"Ahh, finally I'm done with all that paperwork." I say with exhaustion as I stretch my arms.
The man in his twenties named, Luci Alexander had a normal, uneventful life.
He worked as a office worker and had a few hobbies, it was mostly comprised of watching anime and playing video games.
"I wonder if there's any good anime that has been released today." I mutter as I got up the chair and left the building.
While I was walking on the streets absentmindedly, a shout startled me and I turned around to find the source.
When I turned around, I saw some thug looking guy who had a bag of a woman.
He was running to a little girl of about seven years of age, with a knife in his hand.
"No!" I shout as I ran towards the girl and pushed her away with no hesitation, it was a heat of the moment kind of decision.
I didn't have time to move away as I got impaled by the serrated knife.
"Gah!" I shout in pain as I feel the pain registering in my brain.
The thug then runs away with the bag.
"Mister!" shouts the kid I saved worriedly towards me.
I drop to the ground and feel my blood coming out of my body.
"I don't... want... to die..." I say weakly as I felt my strength leaving my body.
'So this is how it ends, huh?' I thought at my final moments.
'I just wish that my life would have been more interesting.' I thought my final words in this life as I died and then there was darkness.
...
I was dead but I was still able to think, perhaps it was because I left my body.
My mind is still pretty fuzzy and I can't think all that clearly.
Suddenly, a voice called out to me.
Do you want to live another life?
The voice sounded like it was a child and an adult, a man and a woman, it sounded good and evil, loud and soft, it was like a thousand people speaking together.
'Another... life?' I manage to think as I respond to the voice.
Do you want to live an interesting and eventful life?
'That... would be... nice.' I thought slowly as my mind was still fuzzy, however, I was still able to understand the voice.
Very well, I shall grant you your wish.
As the voice finished his sentence, I felt some sort of force affecting me and changing something within me.
You have been given The System, Congratulations, Player.
That was the last thing I heard as I fell unconscious.
...
'Uhh.. What happened?' I think as I slowly wake up.
'That's right, I died but that's strange, I can still feel my body.' I question my situation as I try to wake up.
I rub my eyes open as I see my surroundings.
'I guess it was just a dream... no wait, this isn't my room!' I look around and try to see if I'm in a hospital room.
'There is no sign anywhere that I'm in the hospital and... what?' I thought in confusion as I see my body.
It was small, like that of a child, I also had long blonde hair nearly reaching to my waist.
"What the..." I say in confusion and my voice then sounded like it was that of a young girl.
As I entered the bathroom after trying to find it for a few seconds, I stare in shock and horror to what I saw.
In my reflection was... a little blonde girl.
"What the fuck!?" I shout in confusion and horror at my current situation.
Just then, a black box appeared in front of my face.
Hello! I'm sure you would like an explanation?
"A-Ah yes."
Very well, What happened was that you died and transmigrated to another world.
You have also attained The System, in your terms it will be like The Gamer.
"The Gamer? Like the Manga?"
Yes.
"Wow, that's just... wow." I say in shock and disbelief at what happened.
I breath in and out and calm down.
'Okay, I need to stay calm, no need to dwell in the past, besides my family were already gone so no one besides a few friends will miss me.' I thought logically as I try to compose myself.
"Okay then, if I may ask, why am I the one who attained these powers?"
Unfortunately, I do not know.
"I see... Oh well, it doesn't really matter all that much. Now, what do I do?"
Right! Do you want to start the tutorial?
"I guess? It would help me understand this 'System' as you call it."
A quest has been created!
Tutorial
Understand The System better!
Rewards: Create ID skill, Escape ID skill, ?
Firstly, think or say stats.
"Stats." as I said that another black box appeared in front of me.

"Oh, it looks like my last name changed to Aurora, but why the hell are some of my stats that low?"
Actually, a single point equals to an average person's stats so you're stats are actually quite high for a seven year old.
"Oh, that makes sense then, but why am I a girl?"
You did say you wanted an interesting life right?
"... Fair enough."
Next, think or say skills.

"Alright, Inventory." as I said that, another black box with several boxes appeared.

"Ohh, cool."

A quest has been finished!
Reward is put in the inventory
You have gained Skill Create I.D, Escape I.D and Personal Reality!
"Personal Reality? That seems kind of familiar..."
Of course! You are in To aru after all!
That statement caught me by surprise as I didn't think that I would go into an anime.
"Well damn, I didn't expect that. Am I living in Academy City?" I say as I think about the pros and cons in going here.
Yes, you are. For now, you are classified as a Level 0 in the bank.
"Well at least I don't have to go there as I am already living in it."
'Well, it's pretty much the same as my previous world and the people here aren't as apathetic to killing someone like in naruto or literally any other anime.'
'There are some powerful antagonist like Accelerator or that Alchemist dude... Maybe I should have read the manga or the light novel, who knows what kinda godly monster I would have to fight.'
"Well, whatever, all I have to do is to just get stronger." I say with determination.
"Well first things first." I put my hand in the air and like in The Gamer I use Create I.D to make an Empty I.D.
"Let's create the observe skill first." I say as I stare at an object intensely for a few seconds.
You have learned the skill Appraisal!

"That should be good enough." I say as I raised Appraisal to level 5 after a few minutes.
"Next is... Mana Bolt." I say as I come up with the skills I've seen in the gamer.
I put my open palm in front of me and focus on releasing my mana.
'Build up the mana and concentrate the energy and... release.' I release my mana after building it up and concentrating it to a sphere. The attack made a crater in the wall.
You have learned the skill Mana Bolt!

I launch the spinning mana bullet into a wall and watch as it leaves a basketball sized crater.
"That was quite.. good."
'If I can already do this much in the first day, then I might be able to hold my own.'
I thought as I then brought up the skill list and looked at personal reality.
Personal Reality - Lvl 1
Allows you to distort reality and manipulate the laws of physics.
As I read the skill a black box appeared.
Would you like to select an affinity?
"Ah, sure."
Current available affinities with current INT.
You can only choose one until Personal Reality reaches the next esper level.
Electricity Manipulation - The Ability to manipulate electrons.
Thermal Manipulation- The Ability to manipulate temperature.
Telekinesis - The Ability to manipulate matter/objects.
"Hmm... wait, can't you manipulate anything with telekinesis?" I question my ability.
Yes, but it needs to be at a more higher level. So picking the others would immediately let you have the specific ability.
"Hm, then Thermal Manipulation, if I encounter mobs in the I.D, I can just spread fire and kill them all without even moving." I say as I choose Thermal Manipulation.
You have learned Thermal Manipulation!

I grin as I see my personal reality go up immediately.

Author's Notes:
Hello, Now I know it's kind of strange for the mc to get genderbent but it's needed for the plot (Actual Plot), like going to tokiwadai and meeting misaka etc,etc (You can't really go there if you're not a girl).
Don't worry there won't be any yaoi stuff, I'm not into that. There can be some yuri stuff though ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°).
Also, I referenced some stuff about the skills in anand891996's To Aru Majutsu no Yogeh so I'm just saying that there.
