Arc 1 - Chapter 1: I'm So Confuse!
"Holy shit that hurt like hell!" I shouted at the top of my lungs, but no one seems to hear me. As I found myself on the ground in the middle of the night, where I had no idea where I am.
Not to mention the massive amount of pain I just felt out of nowhere just now.
Looking around to see what caused that pain and found myself in a back alley, where I see some rats scatter around the place and insects trying to hide from plain sight.
I frown that I had no idea how I came here and why. Not to mention I found the name of this body to be kind of weird.
Who in their right mind would name their kid's Wuming? And I don't know if it's a last or first name.
Nevertheless, seeing how I own this body now, with only the name as the sole memory given to me.
As for why I don't think this is my own body, to begin with, was because I have the memories of another life, my life, and remember almost everything, but what's worse for me is that I can't even remember my other life's name and if I had any relative or not.
The irony that I transfer to another life, stealing the owner of this body and have to take the name of Wuming, seeing how I can't even use my previous name without even knowing it.
I blink and notice I have glasses on.
Taking it off, which I regretted right away when I notice how sharp my eyes are, causing my brain to hurt a little from the overloaded information process of seeing TOO much.
"Damn, who this body belongs to before I got it. Must have a hard time growing up with such eyes." I mumble to myself as I rub my eyes a little before putting the glasses back on and find myself seeing normal; well, normal for someone that could easily see really far away to the point of seeing the insects around them without having to get close to them to see them with the naked eyes.
No clue if having good eyes would be considered as my cheat from coming to this world, whatever world I came into.
Getting up once I no longer feel the pain and started looking anything on my person, to see if I had anything that would tell me why the owner of this body came to this back alley and die.
All I found was this black wristband attached to my left wrist. Not even a wallet, making me feel like maybe before I came. The previous owner of this body was poor and at his end.
I wanted to see if I had any sort of cheat beside my sharp eyes.
So, I did many stupid things like calling out for any special abilities, I remember from anime, manga, etc. For a few minutes until I spoke out the word: Status.
Name: Wuming
Status: The Abnormal Quincy
Attack: 10
Defense: 10
Speed: 10
Reiryoku (Spiritual Power): 10,000/10,000 (Immense)
Reiatsu (Spiritual Pressure): 10% Control
Reishi (Spirit Particles) Manipulation: 20% Control
Archery Skills: Rapid Fire (Basic Stage) [Speed +10], Multi-shot (Basic Stage) [Speed +10], Penetrating Arrow (Basic Stage) [Attack +10], Sniper's Eye (Basic Stage) [Attack/Speed +10]

Movement Skills: Hirenkyaku (Basic Stage) [Speed +10]
Experience: Combat experience (0)
And just like that. I finally realize what kind of world I am.
"Shit. This is very bad." I mumble to myself as to how much in a dire situation I am. After all, [The Abnormal Quincy] did not make me feel any good right now, because I have no clue if I was in canon, before or near the last Arc.
If it's the former. Depending on how far back I am. I may as well be in the Quincy War, which is very bad for me, because I would have Shinigami hunting down my ass.
If it's the latter, still the same as the former, but much more dangerous compared to the former due to the fact that the Shinigami are very dangerous, with the main character on their side, who may or may not hunt me down as well.
Which is mostly not, due to the type of character Ichigo Kurosaki is.
But in this new world, who knows if the Ichigo of this world would be the same as canon or out of character, maybe he not even the main character or even a male.
Not to mention I have the [Schrift: Antithesis], which should be given to Uryu Ishida, but seeing how I got it, really hoping I didn't get it the same the other Quincy got their [Schrift], because I'm royally screwed that it's not even funny if this is the case.
I tried to think of using something like [Observe Skill] like from The Gamer manhwa.
Sadly, for a few seconds. Either I didn't do it right or I don't have one, because I got nothing that would pop up in my mind. Besides the character sheet, I could still 'see' within my mind.
However, what made things worse for me is that my [Reiryoku] is very high, like higher than a Captain-Class and with a big [Reiryoku]. I'm literally a beacon for all those Hollow and any other spiritual beings that could sense [Reiryoku] would be coming after me.
Thinking about it now. I really needed to figure out how to form my [Heilig Bogen]. I'm just hoping the black wristband is my [Leiden Hant]. A variation of the [Sanrei Glove].
I sighed in relief that I didn't see the familiar white glove that extends up the forearm. Which is the [Sanrei Glove], a powerful [Quincy Item], but would lose my Quincy's power.
No way was I'm trusting any Quincy to shoot a [Heilig Pfeil] to my heart, just to restore back my Quincy's power after using a [Letzt Stil].
Now, that I relook back at my status. I know for sure, that I don't have the [Sanrei Glove], or else the [Letzt Stil] would appear instead of [Vollstandig]. So that's a relief for me.
For the past few minutes. Through trial and error. I finally found a way to summon my [Heilig Bogen], which took on the form of a black energy longbow, much to my confusion. Since I thought I would get a bow in a blue color like all those Quincy. Then again, the Quincy's uniform, I think it is one, is not even white. So maybe that's why I'm [The Abnormal Quincy]
Much to my disappointment. It takes a minute or two to form the bow. And from what I could tell. The [Heilig Bogen] is using mostly my own [Reiryoku] instead of using the [Reishi] around me to form it without the need to use my [Reiryoku].
Seeing about how I'm literally wasting 90% of what I'm supposed to use to form the [Heilig Bogen] with my own [Reiryoku]. I didn't think about it any further and tried to form the arrow for the bow. And boy is my control very shitty. Because forming a [Heilig Pfeil] with only 20% control made me only form 2 out of 10 times and the [Heilig Pfeil] not even stable looking, with the way it looks like it's about to explode in my face.
Then again, with a huge [Reiryoku] I should be glad I have enough to waste to train myself. And boy did I need some training, because with the [Archery Skills]. I had to prepare myself on how to take a stance and shoot.
Which takes too long for my comfort if the way the characters fight in Bleach. Very high pace combats, something I may end up in and with my current self. I will be dead before I could even fire a single arrow, let alone become overpowered character.
I quickly stop myself from forming my next [Heilig Pfeil] to fire and dismiss the [Heilig Bogen], then quickly leave the back alley. Who knows what shady business will occur here sometime soon.
Upon leaving the back alley. I stop in shock and surprise.
One: I'm not in the Bleach world at all. Because I know for sure there no airships flying around the place like it normal thing. I know it's supposed to be a normal thing since the people around didn't even glance at it in the sky.
Two: I just saw one of the Final Fantasy 13 series' main characters walk pass me and seeing how they not in a hurry for something important, along with the fact that no one seemed to stress out about the l'Cie. Then I guess I haven't arrived before the game started.
Three: I found out that I may not have much time, because I just saw Hope and his mother just walked nearby. So I saw two of the main characters. Maybe I'm in Bodhum.
Four: I think I need to figure out who Wuming is and how in the world did a Quincy came to the FF13 universe or this is a crossover universe. If there any other characters from different series in this world or not. Since I'm here. Fast.
Walking around the place, to see maybe if I could figure out where is where.
A few minutes later*
I blink my eyes, then pull out a few pouches, that have these golden coins, which I could think of as Gil, the money currency of the Final Fantasy series, I think?
I know for sure these weren't in my pockets before. Then, as normal. I put all the Gil into my pockets, then throw away the pouches when no one was looking. While at the same time, continue walking like I didn't just steal money from others just now. All done in a matter of seconds in a natural way. That makes me feel like I have done this for years and really good at it.
On the surface, nothing out of the ordinary. However, on the inside, that's a different story.
Shhhhhiiiiiiiiiiit! Wuming is a thief! A really good one!
I'm somewhat okay with this since pickpocketing technically solved my money problem. Like really. There is no money to this Wuming's name as I search this body of mine 10 minutes or so ago. But, I seriously hope I didn't just steal from someone important or else they will be hunting me down soon.
I begin to check for any place that I could take shelter in. Since I have no idea if Wuming was an escapee from a crime he did or a homeless person.
Looking down at my clothes; well, not too homeless since my clothes aren't dirty. Look brand new in fact. I guess being a thief allows me to have some benefits compared to others that start off.
Walking around the area and much to my disappointment or somewhat a relief. No one seems to know me at all.
Wuming must have stayed low-key before I came into the picture. Well, at least, I don't have to deal with anyone knowing with bad intentions. Would be very annoying of having to deal with unwanted drama.
Just as I was about to take a turn at the corner on my right. Someone grabs me by the right shoulder, causing me to panic a little, leading to an unexpected result, where my body moves on its own. Where I throw a right elbow throw behind me, causing the person behind me to let go and move out of the way.
I turn around to see who was it, that touched me and to my disbelief upon finding out who it is.
A young woman with wavy rose pink hair and pale aqua eyes. Wearing a variation of the standard Guardian Corps uniform with an ankle-length red cap attached to the left side of her back and a light burgundy leather detachable pocket on her left leg. The green metallic pauldron over her left shoulder bearing yellow stripes denotes her rank as a sergeant. Carrying what looks like a [Gunblade[ in a black case that hangs off her belt and wears a necklace with a lightning bolt pendant.
"Seriously, I know you do this every time someone touches you or tried to, whenever you're distracted. But, can't you do something about that? I mean, I am your girlfriend and all." The person, who happens to be Claire Farron, otherwise known as Lightning, one of the main characters and the main protagonist of two out of the three Final Fantasy 13 series.
This just confirms that I'm currently in Bodum, the hometown of Lightning and her sister, Serah Farron. As well as Serah's fiance, Snow Villiers, and the resistance group known as NORA.
"What?" I ask, once again in disbelief, and a little scared. Because Wuming's girlfriend is Lightning?!
"Come now, Wuming. I know I've been busy with being part of the Guardian Corps. It doesn't mean I won't forget about you and Serah." Lightning hugs me, causing me to lower my guard down and return the hug; well, more like this body did it own on reflex really.
"Um. Excuse me." I may as well come out with it before things become a problem later on. "Who are you? And do you know who I am?" Yeah, I'm going with the whole amnesia thing, seeing how I didn't get any memory of Wuming other than his own name. Other than that, I got nothing to know about the previous owner of this body.
"Is this some kind of a joke, Wuming? If this because I had to cancel our special night last time. I've already explained that I was called at the last minute. I was already planning to return, but my superior officer requested for all soldiers to come since it was something very important." Lightning tries to explain herself, which made me wonder if she did this more than one time, that it became a common thing with her and Wuming.
"Uh, I'm not joking. I just woke up in a back alley a couple of minutes ago and the only thing I remember is my own name. I've been walking around to see if anything to jog my memory this entire time until you show up and the first person that knows me." I did my best to speak in the best sincere voice I can while I let Lightning know I wasn't playing a joke or anything.
"Wuming. Please tell me this is a joke, because I'm not laughing." Lightning said in a serious tone.
"I'm not." I replied. "By the way, if we're in a relationship. How long have we been dating and if it isn't too rude of me to ask? Do you mind telling me your name?" I did my best not to say any words that might cause a problem for me.
Lightning look at me with a blank stare, then let out a tired sigh. Making me tense up a bit.
"I knew it. I should have kept my eyes on you for a while. This always happen..." Lightning frown, causing me to think that this Wuming guy would get amnesia randomly is a normal thing.
This is something worth being concern about.
"And my name is Claire Farron. We have been dating for 4 years and we were planning to get married this year or the next. Also, don't call me Claire when in public, only in private." Lightning answered my question. Beliving me about having amnesia.
"Wow. 4 years? And we were about to get married this year or the next?" I look at Lightning in shock, because 4 years in a relationship with someone like Lightning is something I can't wrap my head around. Not to mention, during those 4 years in a relationship would have led to marriage by now. Damn.
"Too bad, you've forgotten all about those times we've spent together." Lightning said in a displeased tone. "And yes. We were, but I think we will have to push it off for another date."
Well, either Lightning really believes me or she is a great actor. I honestly have no idea what's going on and what I should do upon hearing this.
"If we've been together for 4 years, then you should be able to help me recover the memory about us along with other things too. You're the best person I could meet with in order to help me." I said to Lightning, seeing how this Lightning of this world has a special relationship with Wuming. Hopefully, what Lightning said is true and not a lie.
" Of course. I'm not going to give up the man I've love for the past 10 years just because you lost your memory. It took 6 years just fo you to ask me out, no way am I letting you go." Lightning grabs my left hand and drags me somewhere. "Come on. We got a birthday feast to do before Serah's return. May as well reveal what happened to you, to Serah as well. You better be ready to cheer Serah up for not being able to remember anything about her."
I would have said something, as I'm thinking that Lightning was acting and wanted to probe a bit more, but I stop myself when I notice the tears going down Lightning's cheeks before her back was turned to me while she took this chance to wipe those tears away.
This made me realize, that I may have killed the previous owner of this body and leaving behind a girlfriend like Lightning. Now, I feel like a jackass, even though I have no control over this whole thing whatsoever.
If that wasn't troublesome by itself. I must have come right before everything went to hell, as in, the game would start today. Furthermore, I can't seem to remember everything about the Final Fantasy 13 game. But, I do know for sure Lightning did not have any lover at all.
Maybe?
Half an hour later*
It took some time, but Lightning led me into an apartment that she and Serah stay in.
"Nice place you have here." I said to Lightning, as we step inside the apartment and wonder how much the rent is. After all, this place is really nice in my opinion.
"It's your place as well. You live here with Serah and me." Lightning, no Claire, said to me. As she closes the door behind us before walking to the kitchen. I'm guessing about setting up all the food for the birthday feast before the guests arrive.
"Wait, what? I do?!" I look around to see if there is a room that should be mine.
"Of course, after all, you were the one who helped Serah and me getting this place in the first place before I went to join the military. Also, helping to pay the rent for months." Claire said to me from the kitchen. "By the way, if you're looking for your own bedroom. I'll help you find it after you help me place down all these foods on the table." Claire said to me, causing me to wince a little for some reason and walk to the kitchen to help her out.
20 minutes later*
"I must be one very boring person if there aren't many noticeable things in this room." I said to Claire, who snorts in amusement. Seeing how the bedroom pretty much looks like it is new and ready for anyone to sleep in.
"Neither of us needed much and kept it this way since we're saving up to buy a house instead of staying in an apartment forever and waste time packing things up when it's time for us to move. Not to mention, not all of us stay in this apartment during the daytime either." Claire explains why this bedroom's appearance or more like a lack of anything to show what kind of person stays in this bedroom.
"Us?" I look at Claire, who looks at me with a small smile.
"Yes. Us. This is our room. Did you think we had our own separate bedrooms? There are only two bedrooms. One for Serah and one for us to share. Plus, most of the time, neither of us would use this bedroom for days due to our own personal busy schedule. Military for me and your self-training." Claire replied like this is a normal thing for us. Then, Claire glare at me, causing me to flinch. "Now, that you've lost your memory again. I'm going to have call in a few days off, to help you regain some of your memory. Again."
"Again?" I blink.
"Yes, again. Did you think this is the first time I've to deal with your memory loss? This happens once a year or so, and it happens randomly. Just be glad I found you while I could today, or else you would be on the street for a few days or weeks until either Serah or I find you." Claire continues to glare at me, but I can see tears appearing again. But, Claire wipes them away the moment they appear.
I didn't know what got over me, but I pull Claire into a hug.
"I'm sorry." I whisper into Claire's ears, who wraps her arms around me as she being to quietly cries onto my left shoulder.
For the next few minutes. Claire and I held onto each other, where I got the feeling this happens countless times already and I wouldn't have believed if I wasn't in this current position I'm in.
