1 Chapter 1 Waking up in a strange place with a different body. (1/2)

Nero woke up naked and felt sand everywhere, he even suspected he had sands in regions that caused him a lot of discomforts. This was not how he expected to wake up, having gone to sleep in his own soft and comfortable bed. The last thing he remembered was making an instant noodle, after eating, did his daily needs, he went to bed.

The sand on which he woke up was very uncomfortable; scratching his whole body and itching at the same time.

Nero turned and sat down. He was feeling very uncomfortable, beyond the circumstances. He didn't feel like he was himself... it was a confusing state and left him baffled by it. But strangely enough, he also felt much more energy in his body. It was a very different feeling from anything he had ever felt before; it was a feeling of power as if he could do things he could never dream of doing before.

He got up and started to evaluate his environment. Looking at the sky with his eyes, the moon was high and the air was cold. It reminded him that he was still completely naked, making him shiver a little because of the freezing night wind.

He looked at his hands, but it didn't really seem to be his, because it was different from what he was used to having... it was like female hands? His feet and arms were also different, his skin was a little pale and he touched his head and felt the hard and long hair, possibly from the beach water? He pushed a lock of hair away and soon realized it was white.

”What the hell is going on?” He looked down, the moment he did that, he saw something he shouldn't have.

”Do I... do I have breasts?” Nero went beyond the confusion.

Like it was listening to his question, something came up in front of him. It looked like a touch screen, floating in the air. Nero stretched out his hand to touch it with a finger.

The canvas waved when his finger went straight through it.

”Hologram?”

He looked one way and the other, up and down, looking for some kind of projector, but when he started to move, the screen followed. There was a text on the screen, which he began to read.

”More what?”

Nero looked around, suspicious. He even carefully examined his surroundings, looking for hidden cameras. Not far away, he saw some people walking, talking naked. And there was no sign of cameras or that it was all a prank or anything like that.

”That's crazy!”

Nero looked at the floating screen and then became alert, for if that were true, his life was at stake.

But was it really his life that was at stake? He's sure he's a man in his 25s, but now... he was in a woman's body...!

”I must be going crazy!” Nero also felt something strange on his back: ”What's that on my back?” The moment he touched it/played with it, he felt it was soft to the touch. It was even softer to the touch than a baby's skin.

”Urghhhh!” The moment he took a sample of what it was, he felt a slight pain, although, it was a bit worse than pulling a strand of hair: ”A feather!?” He was so surprised to see that it was a black feather with some details in pink, that he almost screamed loudly in surprise.

But, as it was written in the semitransparent screen warning in front of him, he tried not to draw attention and go unnoticed. He couldn't put his life at risk, even though it might be a weird dream he was having now.
