'No! Dear God No! God, Please No! Have Mercy On me God! Please! Please Have This Be Just A Dream! Please!'

'Nothing.'
'Fuck.'
'Being in this universe is bad enough already! So why put me as him!'
As I looked In the mirror, a look of absolute terror gazed back. In the mirror, there stood a man with blond hair in a ponytail and purple eyes, He was relatively short, about 5'7, and his most noticeable feature were the purple lines that started at his eyes.
The man in the mirror, was a character from the Jujutsu Kaisen anime. This man, was someone who got cut in half in the Shibuya Incident.
This man was none other than Haruta Shigemo. The man that gave a new definition to the word, Pussy. In terms of fighting prowess, he would probably lose to pre-Sukuna Itadori.
The worse part was that I didn't even think he could get any stronger. His Cursed Technique wasn't one that would propel one to greatness, His cursed technique was called Miracles.
It worked by erasing little Miracles from his memory and then turning that little miracle into cheat luck. It somehow alters Haruta's luck into keeping him alive, such as when he got his ass beat by Nanami.
This meant that he did not get any unique super power like fire or water. No, this meant he had several lives in a video game that he had a hard level cap. In short, I'm Screwed.
There was no way I could turn this weakling into someone capable.
So, I simply sat, In what was apparently his apartment, and cried.
I'll admit, something like this was a desire of mine back when I was in our universe, The idea of becoming best, being the strongest, It was something that would make me happy even when I had every reason to be sad.
But being this guy? In this universe? God Please No.
I literally had no idea what I would do. What could I do? At some point in time, Uraume was going to strongarm me into his little squad, I was going to get beaten by Nanami, then Clapped by Mahoraga, then finally sliced in half by Sukuna.
I had no where to go.
I needed to calm down or else I was gonna have a panic attack. It was hard but, I calmed down eventually.
'How does one get stronger In Jujutsu Kaisen?'
It was a question that had many potential solutions, I need to list all that I remember, that will make this easier. I got up and went to go retrieve something to write with when something became apparent to me.
I didn't have Haruta's hand sword. That meant I was even weaker then the guy that got his cheeks clapped.
Wonderful.
I found a notebook and opened in to the first page, Haruta apparently never used it as all the pages were empty.
Here they were. These were the was to get strong in jjk. I've numbered them from easiest to near impossible.
1. Make Binding Vows
2. Learn the New Shadow Style
3. Make A Shikigami
4. Learn Simple Domain
5. Land A Black Flash/Awaken
6. Learn Domain Expansion
Not as nearly impressive as I'd hoped but It'll do.
Binding Vows were the fastest ways to get stronger in jujutsu Kaisen. The problem was the cost. See, Binding Vows Work by limiting something about you in exchange for power. The perfect example is what Miwa did against Kenjaku in Shibuya. See, Miwa made the promise to never use a sword again in exchange for an immense boost in her power. Now, did it work? No, but the ground work was there, I could do this.
I just needed something to propose, something that wouldn't hinder me...
...I had an Idea. One that I did not like in the slightest, but it would work.
The reason Haruta could never do this in the anime was because he had no Idea he had a cursed technique. He had no way of knowing he had the perfect thing to sacrifice to the jujutsu gods.
His life.
More over, His other lives, his Miracles. By the time Shibuya rolled around, Haruta would have died 3 times. Meaning I had 2 free vows I could make.
I had no intention of letting myself die, so leaving one as a spare felt like a good Idea. The problem with this was that it was slow. My miracles would build up over time but that didn't mean much if it took forever to get them.
I also had no Idea if ever little miracle stacked with a life save or if it would take several little miracles. Getting the actual little miracles themselves wasn't going to be an issue. I remember reading somewhere that looking at a clock and seeing all the hands on each other counted as a miracle. With a quick google search I found that this happened 22 times a day. This meant that, with a watch, I could possibly generate up to 22 miracles a day!
I doubted that It be a one to one ratio but still!
That was at least 1 Miracle per day.
This would be great.
Time for me to make my first vow!
...
How do I do that again?
...
I think I have to like, mentally focus on it? If it involved me using my cursed energy then that was not happening.
'Ok, Think about it.'
.
Is it like a mental sentence? Do I have to say it?
'I vow that I will lose one of my miracles in exchange I...'
I hadn't thought about it yet! I got to say something!
...Will get better at manipulating my cursed energy.'
.
There was a shift. I could feel it. Quickly looking back at the mirror I say that I only had 4 purple Lines now.
Perfect.
As for my cursed energy? Well I noticed it and it was...weird.
It was mixture of sadness and hate. Pure Negative energy bubbled around my hand. It was a strange feeling.
Snapping out of that line of thoughts, I started thinking on what else I wanted.
Strength? Speed? Durability? There were many options and It would be impossible to narrow them down. The main problem with my Cursed Technique was that it was hard to gage how many miracles I had access to. It was this line of thought that lead me to making my next Vow.
'I vow that I will lose one of my miracles in exchange I will gain a better understanding of my Cursed Technique.'
Another shift. I looked at the mirror to see if it had worked, to my surprise, there were 0 lines on my face. Instead, at my questioning a mental number appeared in my head. That number being...
1
A small change but One that would let me not die.
And I quite Frankly, Dying was not on my list of ways to get stronger.
