Michael the Unhurtable
By Maikeru 671
Chapter 1: Unoriginal Isekai Plot with an Original "Power"
This is a story about Michael Anderson. Now in most stories especially isekai stories, the main character always has an advantage, even if they had a bad start or already failed they always win in the end…but not this story. Michael wont have anyway gift or talent. He wont be good looking or ugly yet likable.
He is just a normal guy living a normal life…well maybe not so normal. Michael was born with a rare medical condition called "CIP or Congenital analgesia". CIP is a condition that makes patients unresponsive to pain, but even if he can't feel pain he can still be emotionally harmed and can feel any other sensation other than pain. Some would call this a blessing others a curse, to Michael he doesn't care. He isn't dumb enough to harm himself and he makes sure to inspect himself incase he takes any kind of damage. He lived a rather comfortable life regardless of his condition. Although Michael has very unique emotions and reactions due to this condition, almost robot like if you asked those close to him.
One well known instance was when Michael was helping out his friends at a party when someone tripped and tossed their knife which then stabbed Michael in the chest, this shocked everyone all was quite until Michael looked down and went "Huh...that was close" Thankfully it did not hit any vital organs but to this day people cant get over the fact that a man got stabbed to the handle I might add and just casually said "Huh…that was close" but your all here for the good stuff and not just some bio of some OC's life right?...Well then, let's begin
XXX Busy Street XXX
Michael was walking down the sidewalk on his way to home from work. He stops at an intersection waiting to cross the road.
"he"
Michael perks his head up, he looks around in curiosity.
"Hel"
He heard it better but not clearly.
'Hel?'
"help
His eyes widen and looks around for the sound only for his eyes to lay on the sight of a group of men attack a woman in the alleyway, he looks around…no one is helping
'What's wrong with you people! Damnit!'
He rushes through the crowd to save this poor woman, heart pumping, adrenaline rushing, he shouts.
"Hey assholes!"
The group of men jump in surprise and turn to see a lone man. One chuckles.
"You got a death wish? Fuck off and let us have fun"
"I wont let you do that!"
"What? You think you can take on us three?"
"I don't know let's find out, or are you chicken?"
"Chicken? What are you three year's…fuck it kill him I'm gonna have some fun with this slut!"
One of his allies looks at him in anger "WHAT!? Fuck that help us you fucker!"
The man looks at him in annoyance " No and besides the bitch will run off if we"
While they argue Michael runs in and knocks one of them out suprising the remaining to thugs
"Oh shi" Michael knocks him out before he can react, the last thug in anger whips put a knife
"Alright fucker your dead" thug rushes in with quick speed and stabs Michael in the gut only to be grappled by him suprising him "how the! Die!" he repeatedly stabs Michael in the gut only to be hit hard in the face knocking him to ground "Why…wont you…die" and procceeds to pass put.
The lady runs up to Michael
"Oh god…Thank you! You saved my life" She hugs Michael in happiness…but
"Sir?" She looks down and covers her mouth in shock, her savior is bleeding A LOT
"Sir! You okay!? Speak please!?" She starts crying he is not responding
"I will get help! You saved me! I wont let you die" She takes off with a sprint crying for help
Its too late…
Michael wakes up to a bright light, he covers his eyes…is he in a hospital? He uncovers his eyes only to be met with complete…whiteness.
'Is this…heaven?'
He does a 360 of his environment
'This is weird…'
'Hello'
Michael jumps in surprise at this and turns towards the voice.
It was a man…no some…thing, almost mannequin like…but not creepy.
'Where am I'
The being looks at him
'That's a good question'
Michael blinks in confusion
'What?'
'Let me tell you…to the best of my abilities'
The being spreads it's arms out wide
'We are in place as I would like to call "The Center"
Michael stares at him in confusion
The being lowers his arms 'I will try to explain, you see The Center is literally the center of…well all'
Michael stares 'I'm sorry I still don't get it'
The being taps it's chin 'Okay how about this, we are standing on a piece of paper or canvas, a blank slate if you will. There are Centers that have already been built upon and will perpetually shape it's self thus making it forever unique'
'…You are bad at explaining'
Michael holds his chin
'But I think I understand…are you saying…we are in the center of a universe…that has yet to go bang?'
The being jolts up suprising Mike
'Bang?...Bang….BANG!'
'Did I just piss him off?'
The Being grabs Michael AKA Mike
'YOU'RE A GENIUS!'
The Being grabs Mike's hand and drags him rather forcefully to who knows where
'Um, Sir or Ma'am where are yo- I mean we going?'
He pauses abruptly
'I don't have a name…can you give me a name?'
'Uhh…John?'
'John…I like it! Call me John!'
'So John…where are we going'
'I don't know!' Said John in a cheerful manner
'What!? What do you mean!?'
'All I know was that if we go in one direction we will eventually enter a new world'
'Huh? Okay…why?'
'If my database is correct this Universe needs three stones heart, mind and body'
'Whoa whoa slow down…you're a robot!?'
'Robot…no Call me an Automaton it sounds classy!'
'Whatever dude…also this sudden emotion thing you got going on is freaking me out…not in a bad way though just saying…and wait stones?'
'No offence taken and when you said bang it reminded me of my mission, the mission to start the final universes big bang but that would require the Heart, Mind, and Body stones. Heart brings life, Mind brings sentience and body brings form. Without Heart it will be barren, without mind everything will become dullard and without body there will be no planets, stars or anything at all.
'Sounds like we just need Heart and Body'
'Well…Yeah but unless you want every living being to be mindless beasts with nothing but natural instinct to keep itself alive it seems so…boring, without mind we wont have stuff like human ingenuity or advanced alien life'
'You make a good point…alright let's do this!'
'Great!'
After an awkward minute of silence
'Soooo'
'Hm?'
'Where do we go?'
'I don't know'
'….What? Didn't you say were going to another world'
'Oh! I realized the probability of that happening are Zero percent'
'…..'
'I apologize it's been so long…most of my data has been lost in…well…it be easier to say for infinite millennia's. But I can try to recover one core file which may aid us'
'Alright! What is it?'
'It is a method to travel to other worlds but the process is long and unorthodox'
'Okay…What is it'
'Reincarnation'
'Wait so I have to be…born'
'Yes if I have any better way to explain it , it would be akin to respawning…literally…with a huge timer…and'
'Shut up!...Do it'
'Are you sure?'
'Just do it!'
'As you command, see you after your next life friend'
