HONK.. HONK..
Tyson awoke from his droning walk towards his apartment from the diner hearing the blaring horn sound of the truck.
He was playing with his homies the whole night online and was hungry in the morning. After a hearty breakfast and failing to flirt with the cute waitress, he was going back to his apartment to sleep.
After hearing the horn he turned around to see a child stroller in the middle of the road and the screeching tires of the truck in the distance. His face lost all tiredness and became bright with excitement.
This was his chance to save the child and get hit by a truck-kun doing good karma on his way to transmigration. He was a bonafide otaku and was always thinking about transmigrating to a magical world with a golden finger and having a huge harem of beast-eared girls.
Now this exact scenario was the starting scene of numerous novels of glorious transmigrators, and this will be the start of the journey of the great Tyson.
With this thought he went forward and pushed the stroller to the other side of the road, and took its place in front of the truck-kun with his eyes closed.
He was waiting for his good for nothing life to flash before his eyes but nothing of that sort happened.
SLAP..
He awoke from his dreams of wielding magic, feeling the stinging pain from his cheeks. He opened his eyes to see the angry mother pacifying the fallen child and the cussing truck driver for standing in the middle of the road.
He realized that the truck had stopped in time and he had pushed the child into the wall on the other side. He apologized with a beet red face and ran away lamenting his missed chance of transmigration.
This has always been the case in his life. His family was fairly well-to-do and he was the youngest of the three siblings. He had no ambition in his life other than reading novels, watching anime, and playing games.
Being an otaku for a year after graduation was still possible because his parents still sent him monthly pocket money. But he wanted a more adventurous life like in the novels and yearned for something to happen in this bland world.
He went back to his apartment still rueing that encounter with truck-kun. All of a sudden he felt a wave of confusion, there was a loud scream and then total blackness.
Unbeknownst to Tyson, he slipped in wet stairs and hit his head in the corner of the steps losing consciousness in a second and his life in next few minutes.

Growl..
Tyson awoke from the distant roaring and felt dizzy for a few seconds. After his vision became clear he saw he was in a forest and was surrounded by tall trees. He also felt different and after careful examination he seemed to be a 16 year old average looking black haired boy wearing cosplay armor.
Then it hit Tyson that he was on his way to his apartment after the incident with truck-kun. He didn’t know or remember what happened but his most possible guess is he had transmigrated just like all those heroes in the novels.
But the problem was he didn’t have the memory of the previous body, so no knowledge about the current world or his predicament or the way this body died. Another major problem was the lack of his almighty golden finger.
He was on uncharted waters now. He was relieved that he was not a non-human transmigrator like a dog or bird or even worse a monster like a goblin or a plant like in some novels. If that happened he could not even talk to humans for a long time or maybe forever and he would die of boredom.
Now he should take account of where he was and what was available to him to plan his next steps. He was in a forest which was obvious after seeing huge trees and distant roaring, which doesn’t seem to be any animal he knew. Will it be a T-rex? He was excited to see a T-rex at least when it was not chasing him.
He was wearing metal armor which consists of 7 pieces including a helmet and looked like a medieval light armored knight. It seems to be intact despite the previous owner seeming to have died while wearing it, therefore not sure of its usefulness.
Or has both the body and the armor restored while his transmigration for convenience. Anyway, he had protection for now. He also had a long sword in a scabbard on the left side of the belt and a dagger (or is it a short off-hand sword?) on the right side of the belt.

Both look fancy with a lot of inscriptions and gems, but he sure doesn't know how to wield any of them other than the fact hold the hilt and stab with the pointy end.
There is also the thing which killed this body might still be lurking in the surrounding area. He doesn’t know what the previous owner was doing here or where this place was or where the nearest city/ village is.
It seems to be dusk but he had no idea about the day-night cycle here. So the first line of action is to find a water source and shelter for the night as most monsters in novels are nocturnal and he doesn't want to be a midnight snack for the roaring t-rex.
With the trees this tall he wasn’t sure of directions and made a random choice to walk. The bushes here seem to be large and exotic with huge thorns. After careful maneuvering he walked a few hundred meters when he heard talking sounds. He was excited and went in the direction of talking.
They stopped talking after hearing the rustling sound he was making and looked in his direction. After walking out of the thick foliage, he saw them. There was a group of five people dressed similar to him and seemed to be wary of him.
The first person he saw was the girl who looked like the typical ice princess in the novels. She was beautiful and she knows it and it oozes in her way of seeing others. The girl next to her looked like the sidekick of the heroine who was also beautiful but a tad bit less than the ice princess so that she can play the second fiddle.
The other three are boys and Tyson was not interested in seeing them as the girls are more interesting and most likely to be the first members of his harem in this new world.
“$#@!%?”, the ice princess was the first to talk.
Tyson didn’t understand what she was saying. He doesn’t have memories and doesn’t speak this world’s language. Without knowing what to say he stood dumbly for a few seconds.

“Woo-hoo”, Tyson cheered after hearing and seeing the long awaited system prompt. This made the other party more guarded against him.
One of the boys who looked like their leader, and was more handsome than me, gave him an overall look and asked “You are Viscount Nolan’s son right?”
This time Tyson understood what he was saying. He was ecstatic and felt this must be due to the system’s arrival. He looked at it again.

The system was loading slowly. He doesn’t know whether magic is present in the world as it seemed to be a medieval setting. He was eagerly awaiting the features of the system, will it be an OP system and make him invincible?
He also notices that he was likely a noble as the boy called him Viscount's son. With the system and noble family as his backing he is sure to reach the peak of the world.
With nobility status and a system given power which will arrive in a few minutes, he was far more confident now in this world.
“And who might you be?”, he asked with confidence. He also understood the system is translating his thoughts when he speaks to this world’s language. He was overjoyed, as this must be a mighty system as it functions even before loading and activation.
“Pfftt.. Country bumpkin.. You are in the presence of her Highness Princess Grace and her fiance Duke’s son Lord Blake. You should be kneeling before them.” said one of the lackeys.
‘So she was a real princess and fits the perfect role of the first harem member stereotype. Then I will make her mine. And this guy Blake will become my first stepping stone in this world. He will be the villain of the first arc and the obstacle in my path to the princess in the academy arc’, Tyson thought
Then I’ll defeat him here to reduce all those convoluting storyline. But his father seems to be a Duke, so should be careful of revenge later. With the system as my backing I’m not afraid of anyone. At the very least I’ll escape and come back when I’m invincible.

“Oh! Greetings to Princess Grace”
I gave an exaggerated bow like in movies and asked for her hands to kiss like a gentleman. ‘She is going to be my first harem member I’ve to impress her at the first sight’

The moment he took a bow and spoke, the handsome guy stared at him and waved his hand at dismissal. “Clown” he uttered and turned to walk away with the girls.
Tyson was angry at first but suddenly felt pain and looked down to see there seemed to be hole where my heart once was.
Tyson couldn’t understand what happened and the group walked away without saying anything.
Only the lackey who spoke earlier stood and watched with an amusing smile as Tyson looked shocked and fell backward like a puppet with his strings cut. Then he too left with the group.

Tyson could not accept that he was about to die even before his system activated. He should have reached the peak of this world and have a huge harem of beautiful beast-eared girls.

Maybe he will become a ghost/spirit necromancer with the system or else the system should not have let him die. ‘Don’t worry Blake, I’ll torture before killing you and raising you to do my bid then make the Princess my first harem member’ was the thoughts in Tyson’s head while he died. Tyson died with hopeful thoughts.

A few minutes after killing the clown, Blake was hit with an indescribable sensation and a screen was in front of him.
