Chapter 1 - reincarnation

"Agh, why does my head hurt so much?!" I groaned, clutching my pounding head as I blinked my eyes open. It felt like I'd just been hit by a truck—or maybe something heavier.

But before I could even make sense of the pain, a robotic voice echoed inside my mind.

???: | Congratulations. Host has been successfully reincarnated into the world of One Piece. |

"...Huh?! Who are you?!" I yelped, whipping my head around in panic. But there was no one there. Just an empty void. No light. No walls. No sky.

???: | Welcome, host. I will be your guide in this life. You may call me the Naruto Template System, or simply... System. |

"Wait… hold on a second—what?! W-w-was I seriously r-r-reincarnated into One Piece?!" My voice cracked as I stuttered through the sentence, my brain barely able to comprehend what was happening. This had to be some weird dream, right? A hallucination, maybe?

But deep down, I already knew. This wasn't a dream.

— Flashback —

Last night—or whenever it was—I was in bed, wrapped up in my blanket burrito, half-asleep, when I heard a voice.

"Do you want to be reincarnated?" it said.

Startled, I sat up straight. My first thought? Home invasion. I glanced around my dark room, heart thumping. But... nothing.

"Do you want to be reincarnated?" the voice asked again.

I hesitated. I tried to trace it—to find any source of sound—but it was as if the voice was inside my head.

"Do you want to be reincarnated?"

At that point, I figured, "Okay, maybe I'm just sleep-deprived and losing it." So I replied half-jokingly, "Sure, who doesn't want to get reincarnated in a world with magic and cool powers?"

"In what world would you like to be reincarnated? Fictional worlds are included."

That question caught me off guard. I paused for a second, but then replied excitedly, "Definitely One Piece! It's my favorite anime!"

I said it with more enthusiasm than expected, like my soul hoped it would be real. After all, my life sucked. No family, no friends. Just another orphan nobody cared about. I guess... a part of me wanted it to be real.

And just like that, everything started fading. My body felt light—too light. I was floating, drifting into nothingness.

— End of Flashback —

System: | Affirmative. The host has been reincarnated into the One Piece world. |

I froze. The voice had actually confirmed it.

And then... happiness exploded inside me. Like actual joy, not the half-baked kind I used to fake. My chest tightened, my eyes stung. I almost cried—seriously. This was my second chance. A real one.

Once I calmed down, I asked the system about what it could do.

System: | The host can:

View personal status

Use inventory

Spin for Naruto character templates and gain their powers and appearance. The host may choose to remain in a single form without needing to transform.

However, to spin for a new character, the current template must first be completed. This is extremely difficult.

Optional: Complete special missions to level up and earn rewards. |

"Wait… so I get a free spin, right? It's like my welcome gift?" I asked, eyes wide. I mean, if not—I'd probably die before my journey even starts. That would be such an anticlimactic beginning.

System: | Spinning… Ding! Congratulations, Host! You received the character: Konan. |

"...W-What?!" My jaw dropped.

I got... Konan?! No way.
