"Uhhhh~ What's the noise!" A young voice sounded. he could hear the sound of alarm beeping. He opened his eyes. "Did someone turn off the light?" It was pitch black around him. "Wait, how come I can't touch anything!?" He reached out instinctively, trying to find and shut off what he assumed was an alarm clock. His fingers met only empty air, no solid surface, no furniture, nothing. As his eyes slowly adjusted to the darkness, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. "Am I floating!? Wooaaah!" He got panicked as and began flailing his arms and legs, like swimming on water. His tried moving his body slightly making his head feel light and dizzy. After a few moments of frantic movement, he forced himself to take deep breaths and calm down. The dizziness faded, and he realized that while it felt strange, there was no sense of falling, just complete weightlessness. "It feels like swimming but on air." He stretched his hands out again, moving them slowly this time. After a few tries, his fingers finally brushed against a hard, smooth edge. He gripped it tightly, it was the corner of a metal table. He steadied himself upright. "Seriously! What is happening!?" No one answered. Only the sound of beeping alarm echoing from somewhere outside. Suddenly, a soft blue light flashed from his right wrist. To be exact, it came from the glowing metallic watch fastened there. "Hello, Commander Luis. You are finally awake!" The voice was crisp, clear, and feminine, yet it was an unfamiliar voice Luis only heard now. Luis raised his left hand unconsciously to get a better look, and what he saw made his eyes go wide with shock. "Who!?" Hovering above the watch face was a small, translucent hologram of a young woman. She wore a neat, futuristic suit, outlining her nice curves, her face was beautiful. He didn't recognize her he haven't seen her once. "Greetings Commander," the hologram spoke again, her tone steady and formal,. "I am your System. To better cater and assist you, I have merged myself into the established personal AI assistant belonging to the original body you now occupy." "System? Merged? AI assistant? Original body!?" "Is this some kind of prank? Did someone drug me or put me in a simulation?" "No, Commander. I have no reason to joke about such matters," the System replied. "To be exact I am your system, I am the Greatest Commander System. I have integrated into the AI assistant of the person whose place you have taken over." The more Luis listened to the System on who she was, how did he an Earthling took over this person and also the reason why he was transported here. Pieces began to click into place. He remembered clearly, back on Earth, he had stayed up late writing chapters for his sci-fi novel, his eyes burning from staring at the screen. Exhausted, he then had fallen asleep at his desk. The next thing he knew, he woke up here. Did I die? My soul must have crossed over and replaced this Luis person. And right now, I'm inside a spaceship! To be precise, an interstellar colony ship, one of those massive vessels built to carry thousands of people across the space. "Woah! So this is the popular trope! Isekai!?" Luis blurted out, half excited and half disbelieving. But his excitement quickly faded when he recalled what the System had just said. If he was here, it meant the original owner of this body was gone. "System, why did the original Luis die?" "Commander, according to my preliminary analysis, the original Luis suffered severe blunt force trauma to the head. There is currently a large, still tender wound on your forehead. As for the exact cause of the injury, I cannot confirm. The local AI was deactivated shortly after the incident occurred, so no data was recorded." " I see." Luis raised a trembling hand and touched his forehead. Sure enough, there was a crusty layer of dried blood caked against his skin, and a dull throbbing pain pulsed beneath it. Glancing down, he noticed more dark brown stains splattered across the front of his
