My name is Tom Smith. I am an average high school student, geeking out and playing video games in my free time.

I am fifteen years old, and every day, when I get home I go into my nerd abyss bedroom, I immerse myself in random Isekai slop. One could almost say I'm an Isekai expert. 

As much as the tropes are repetitive, like going from super weak to super strong, and getting a strong group of friends that you can rely on, they bring me comfort, allowing me to have an escape into the stupid world of a random isekai.

I love video games as well. I am especially dedicated to completing 100% of any game. I can't move on to a different game if I haven't already dominated the game I started.

I spend many nights surrounded by my various anime figures staring at me while I guzzle energy drinks and game away.

I don't consider myself some kind of shut in loser though. While I do love my video games and light novels, I also maintain a social life.

I have a nice group of friends, with similar interests. We hang out talking about powerscaling or what powers we would want the most.

I also work out. I'm not super fit though. 

Every day when I walk to school, I secretly hope a meteor or a car hits me so I can get transported into some fantasy world.

I imagine it hitting me, and then some kind of goddess or something greeting me, and giving me some OP ability that lets me become overpowered in a different world and beat some fuckass demon lord and then get transported back.

I always liked the idea of looking weak but being overpowered, being made fun of at the start but then later destroy the haters with an aura beam or something like that. 

My dream is grind out some random corporate job and have a depressing life for ten years, then buy a cheap ass house in the middle of nowhere and stay locked in a goon cave of a house, without the gooning. 

I imagined a small house filled with isekai novels and video games and giggled. You can't really beat that. When I would want social interaction I would get a temporary rental near my family and friends and hang out with them like that.

The one thing that troubles me about the isekai slop and games I play is the romance. I can't imagine myself with anyone, I feel better just having friends. So the strange groups of romantic interests that all isekai protagonists seem to get was the only thing I hate about them. 

The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

Everything else is solid gold. Gold. 

Right now, I'm getting ready for school, pursuing my academic prowess. I need to grind in school to get my dream of getting a decent sum when I'm young then retiring.

I put my glasses on, signifying me as a stereotypical nerd. I then put on my school uniform and got my backpack set. 

Because my school has a uniform, I like to express myself through my backpack because they have no rules for it. I have like 100 pins of random characters I like, and some keychains of my favorites.

In my bag, I packed my school notes and supplies, all pretty basic.

My school doesn't let us use much tech other than our laptops, so I always bring some physical media with me.

I looked at my bookshelf and picked out a book from my backlog of shlocky isekai light novels.

I settled on "I became a level 999 S tier hunter with my luck manipulation skill after I got reincarnated as the Demon Lords pet mountain goat"

This was perfect, just the right amount of garbage. I saw it on social media, it gained a small dedicated fanbase due to some powerscaling stuff. For some reason later in the story the goat guy starts destroying multiverses. 

Even though I had that spoiler, I still always was interested to how they got there. The journey was always more important than the destination for me.

I loved seeing how they would become strong, and manipulate the world around them to bring themselves to the top of the world, destroying all of their challenges.

My goal has alway been to live a life where I don't need to work, and I can stand at the completion point of life for as long as I can.

I was daydreaming as I was walking to school, the fantasies of being reincarnated were coming in. It wasn't I hated my current life, its just that it would be cool to be in a world with magic and adventure.

In a dream scenario I would want to be reincarnated with my friends, and maybe start an adventurers guild like there are in all of the books.

I was imagining this as my friend Keita approached me.

"Tom!!!! What's up brodie!!" Keita said running over to me.

I smiled, it was good to see him.

"I took out the book from my bag to show him.

"What do you think?" I said.

Keita started doing a half snort half laugh.

"That has to be the stupidest book I've ever seen!!!! Why did they make him a goat???" Keita said laughing.

It was clearly not a mocking kind of laugh, just of endearment between friends.

I smiled.

"You can't be talking, you spent $200 on a gatcha game last week to get the new character and you STILL didn't pull her!!" I returned a tasteful insult at him.

"Alright bro, you don't have to bring that up" Keita said laughing.

We then continued on our way over to our school. We went to a local private school that was close enough to walk to from both of our houses.

We were so absorbed in our conversation that I didn't notice the construction site nearby.

Absorbed in talking about a new video game we both got, I walked a little to close to the construction zone, that had questionable safety measures.

A wrecking ball then slammed into the side of my body, launching me insanely high into the air, and then I crashed to the ground as a puddle of a human. 

My final thoughts were

"I hope I get isekaid..."
