Alex fell back on his bed, his eyes staring at the wall; he has been acting confident and playful, yet all this time, his heart was thumping like a roaring engine. "Fuck! I just flirted with Lindsay Lohan and Rachel McAdams….!"
...
LET'S GO A FEW WEEKS BACK!
"Ugh!" I grumbled as I opened my eyes, my hands clutching my head as a searing pain throbbed across, while my throat felt drier than Nevada. "W-Where am I?" I looked around, and I wasn't in my room! Heck! My room isn't half as big as this, nor was it clean! It always smelled like a weird cocktail of rum and sperm with a dip of rat shit on the side!
But this smelt good, and also neat. The bed I was lying on was big and plush, my butt sinking into the mattress. To my front was an old computer, and damn, that's too old, old enough to put it beside the dinosaurs in the museums. Seriously, who even is using this stuff anymore?
Anyways, to my left was a large window, letting in sunlight, and to its opposite was a large wardrobe with a big mirror fitted in, and… What the fuck?!
Who the fuck is that?! And why the fuck am I seeing things from his POV?!
In the reflection was a handsome man. As cringy as it sounds for a moment to say this, he's almost too handsome. Wavy blonde hair, bright blue eyes and a body that I had only dreamed of. If he had wings on his back, he would be the perfect real-life replica of Sanguinius of the Blood Angels!
But still the question remained: why am I looking from his perspective?!
And that's when I saw it, hovering in the top right corner of my vision, a little golden 'i'. I frowned, trying to reach it, touch it with my hand; I don't know what I'm doing at this point!
Anyway, I reached the icon and tried to grab it, and BOOM!
A golden screen flickered in front of me!
[Transmigration complete!]
STATUS
[World 1: Mean Girls]
[World 2: How I?????]
[World 3: ?????]

[Merging: 2%]
[You have three unknown things to open!]
[Do you wish to open them?]
[Yes] / [No]
"What the….?!" I exclaimed out loud, my heart pounding against my chest. What the fuck is all of this?!
Transmigration?! Mean Girls?! Isn't that the movie about bratty teen girls?! And what is this merge bar?!
My mind quickly became overwhelmed like a hungry guy stuffing thirty burgers down his throat; it was too much. Yet my heart tugged to the three 'Unknown Things!' I glanced at the two options, yes and no, deciding on whether I should take the red pill or the blue pill. "Fuck it! I'll follow in Neo's footsteps!" and so I chose yes. I just poked the air in front of me….
The screen flickered once more, three new gift icons replacing the texts; the red ribbon slowly began to loosen itself, revealing the contents in each box, and voila!
Two of them had absolutely nothing! Hah! Talk about expectations! I mean it had something, just two green tick marks hovering, with the other one being a video icon, guessing it's a video for me. But just to make sure, I pressed on the two check marks, wondering just what they were, and BOOM!
Another line of text appeared on the screen.
[Perfect Divine Body!]
[Perfect Memory!]
[Transmigration!]
[The Merger!]
Two rows of texts, one starting with P and the other with T; I guess they are gifts? I mean, this is a system, and from the ungodly amount of them I read in my past life, I guess this is my starter pack? But why does it say unknown things? Anyway, I didn't linger on it for long, as I looked at the hovering video icon and pressed it.
Soon, my vision changed; the whole room turned black as a big white screen floated in front of me, almost as big as my room, and on it played a video.
It was me, to be specific, it was my past me, messy damp hair, a bloated stomach and a mouth smeared with cheese and oil. Heh, if the govt would have definitely invaded my home if they knew just how much oil I had around my mouth, all I ate was cheese and oil.
The surroundings whirred as the video slowly started to play, my eyes glued to it. It was my past life, from my birth to my death, my failures, my embarrassments like the time I said "I love you" to a girl on my first date, my regrets…
Alright, I get it, asshole; I was a failure in my past life! I get it! I wasted all my chances thrown at me, so what?! Should I now be grateful for this second chance and use it well?!
But, no reaction. The blackness disappeared; now I found myself standing in my room, my heart heavy like it was tied to an anchor. Fuck, that video messed with me! And just then, the screen flickered once more.
[Name: Alex Stinson]
I guess that's the name of my new me, and also, along with the memories of my new body, it felt like a wave of fresh breeze flowing against my brain, weird but nice.
And just then, a voice came from downstairs, yelling, "Alex, dinner's ready!"
That's my new mom, well, she's the only mom I had in my two lives so, I guess I should answer her, "I'm coming, Mom!"
Well, welcome to my new life, me! I just hope that I don't fuck it up!
