Not a Miracle, I’m Fucked
***
A miracle happened.
“Are you that transfer student?”
“Ah, yes, y-yes.”
“It’s only been two weeks since the entrance ceremony, so a transfer student is peculiar, isn’t it?”
“It is, isn’t it…? I’m also not sure what’s going on….”
Was this what people commonly called ‘possession’?
At first, I thought it was a dream, but for a dream, the sense of reality was far too vivid.
It had now been about five minutes since I had opened my eyes.
The place where I opened my eyes was the main gate of a stately, old-fashioned school.
“It’s okay, everyone is still awkward with each other, so Ares will adjust to the class in no time.”
“I see….”
“Hehe, speak comfortably. We’re classmates in the same class.”
“Ah, okay.”
After I had been standing there blankly in front of the main gate for a while, this was the girl who had appeared.
Dressed in what seemed to be this school’s uniform, she had a face so beautiful it could make one’s eyes roll back in their head.
White hair and red eyes.
An appearance just like a white rabbit.
When I first saw her, I thought it was a dream as well, but after talking with her, I realized.
Right…, her name was….
“Um… by the way, what’s your name?”
“Me? I’m Levin. I’ll give you a tour of the academy today.”
“Levin…, I look forward to working with you.”
“Yep! I look forward to it, too.”
This was definitely what they called possession.
Though I had no idea what story or what game this school appeared in.
This was unmistakably possession.
‘The usual cliché is that a devoted reader of the work or a hardcore gamer gets possessed…, well, does it matter?’
Grinning cheerfully, I followed behind Levin and looked around the academy.
“This is the rooftop of our Wonder Academy. See those students sitting over there? That’s the community lounge.”
“Wow, there’s a lounge, too.”
“I heard it’s okay to eat things like refreshments there. Let’s go together later?”
“…Okay.”
Together… she had said.
‘I don’t know her character setting so I can’t be sure, but… she’s definitely a good kid….’
Like that, as if I were bewitched, I continued to follow behind Levin, and when the academy tour was finished, she asked me a question.
“Ares, between swordsmanship and magic, which one are you going to choose?”
“Swordsmanship? Magic…?”
“Yeah, it’s better to take classes that suit your aptitude. What are you good at, Ares?”
Swordsmanship and magic.
Suddenly, my heart started to pound.
‘Swordsmanship is one thing, but more than anything, magic…!’
Wasn’t this a story that every man dreams of at least once?
To be dropped into a fantasy world and use spectacular swordsmanship and brilliant magic that you could never experience in reality.
I was so filled with anticipation that, without realizing it, I smiled with my mouth agape like a child.
And at that sight, Levin chuckled.
In response, I scratched my head awkwardly and answered.
“Ah, haha, actually, I’m not really sure what I’m good at.”
“Oh my, is that so?”
“Yeah, …ah, what about you, Levin? Which one did you choose?”
“Me? I chose magic.”
“Aha…, then…, maybe I’ll…, well, go with magic too, I guess…?”
I stealthily glanced at Levin’s reaction.
At that, Levin smiled brightly and grabbed my hand with a snatch.
As the unique warmth and soft sensation of a girl’s hand was transmitted to mine, I felt like my heart was going to explode.
“Yes! Let’s take it together! Wow, I’m so happy thinking about studying magic with you, Ares!”
“……”
An angel.
That one word surfaced in my mind.
‘Why would something so miraculous happen to me….’
I should have been just an ordinary young man from the Republic of Korea.
A man who lived an ordinary life, getting worn down by society, worn down by his superiors, and worn down by money.
For me, who had nothing special about him, to be possessed into a fantasy academy story.
‘Do I have some kind of outstanding talent, too? I always admired things like a talking sword… could there be one?’
My heart began to pound.
Thump-thump!!
Although I didn’t have any information about the story I was possessed into.
If it followed the clichés….
Probably, other pretty heroines besides Levin would appear.
And there would also be a rival, or perhaps a colleague character who acts cold out of jealousy of my achievements.
And then, my unexpected talent would blossom, leading to a future of continued success at the academy.
At the ending, who would the heroine be?
No, in this case, the standard is a harem ending…?
An image of myself, surrounded by various beautiful girls and creating a very satisfyingly lewd scene, was drawn in my mind.
‘Is this heaven…?’
Perhaps my real self had died, and this place might be the heaven that I, who had never done anything particularly bad in life, had come to.
I was an atheist, but… thank you, God.
“The boys’ dormitory and the girls’ dormitory are straight down this road. After class ends today, let’s go together?”
“O-okay.”
“Let’s see…, I’ve shown you the cafeteria, and the location for outdoor classes, and the auditorium…, yep! I’ve done it all! Shall we go to the classroom then?”
“Classroom? Ah, right. What time is it now?”
“It’s almost 1 o’clock. You can attend the afternoon classes.”
And so, after receiving all of Levin’s guidance, I headed to the classroom.
Drrrk!
As I entered the classroom, Levin showed me to my seat.
“It’s here. Isn’t it uncomfortable being in the dead center?”
“No, it’s fine. I don’t really mind.”
“I’m over there, so if anything happens, feel free to talk to me anytime.”
“Okay, thanks, Levin.”
“Hehe.”
To my thanks, Levin waved her hand and returned to her own seat.
And shortly after, the classroom door opened again, and this time, someone who looked like a teacher, not a student, came in.
At that, the students in the noisy classroom all sat down in their seats and focused on the teacher at the podium.
“Alright, your homeroom teacher asked me to introduce the transfer student who joined your class today on their behalf. Ares? Is Ares in his seat?”
“Ah, yes!”
“Come up here.”
Since I had joined the class from the afternoon onwards, I thought there wouldn’t be any time for introductions.
Fortunately, an opportunity to formally show my face to the other kids had arrived.
“His name is Ares. He had to go through the transfer process in a hurry due to some circumstances, so I expect you all to get along with him as you would with any other new classmate. Alright, transfer student, your greeting.”
“I’m Are…s. It’s a pleasure to meet you all.”
Saying the name that didn’t roll off my tongue easily, I bowed my head and greeted them.
From now on, my name was Ares.
…For me, who had lived with a Korean name, being called by a Western name felt incredibly awkward.
Should I have just introduced myself with my original Korean name instead?
If I had done that, I feel like I could have blended into this world more naturally, without any sense of incongruity.
‘……Huh? But what was my original name?’
Clap-clap-clap-clap-clap—!
Just as I was feeling that sense of doubt, the sound of the students’ applause reached me, and I came to my senses.
Right, who cares what my original name was.
I was going to be living in this world from now on.
“How was it? Your impressions of your first class at our Wonder Academy?”
And after class ended, during break time.
Levin came over to my desk and started a conversation with me.
The other students were either forming their own groups or minding their own business alone.
“Somehow, the material was difficult, so I couldn’t really follow along….”
“Studying doesn’t really suit you, huh?”
“That’s true, but I have to try.”
“Really? And are there any other uncomfortable things?”
“Umm…, the fact that the other kids don’t really talk to me?”
“……”
At my words, Levin shut her mouth for a moment.
Then, she smiled sweetly and asked.
“Oh my, why is that?”
“Huh? Well, when a transfer student comes, don’t people usually gather around and talk to them?”
Ah, was that a novel cliché?
I think usually the handsome or pretty characters received that kind of cliché treatment.
‘I haven’t seen my face, so I don’t know what I look like.’
Thinking about it that way, I felt embarrassed, as if I had said something incredibly self-conscious.
Just then, Levin smiled and spoke to me as if to comfort me.
“It’s probably not because they’re uncomfortable with Ares. You know, it’s because everyone still has that new-student vibe.”
“Aah, so it’s not just me who’s awkward, everyone else is awkward too?”
“Yep, yep, everyone is awkward right now. That’s why they can’t easily start a conversation.”
“Haa… thanks Levin. Hearing you say that puts my mind at ease.”
“Hehe, I think I’ll have to get a nice reward for this later, don’t you think?”
In response to my words, which could have been taken as whining, Levin smiled cutely and spoke playfully.
‘…Alright, you’re the main wife.’
At that moment, Levin was registered as number one on my internal heroine ranking.
Well, it wasn’t like I had met any other heroines besides Levin.
“Hmm…?”
“What is it?”
Just then.
As I was looking around the classroom, I felt a sense of wrongness.
“Two desks…”
“……”
“Two desks are empty. Are they absent?”
“……”
At my words, Levin turned her head to look at the empty desks.
At those desks, there was no luggage of any kind, and the chairs were pushed in.
A situation where anyone could tell the owners of the desks had not come to the classroom.
“You’re right… Millie was here until last week….”
“Last week?”
“Yeah, but I guess she can’t come due to some circumstances.”
“Really? What about the other desk?”
“It’s a boy named Kon, he’s been absent since about a week after the entrance ceremony. Don’t you think he’s skipping?”
“…So he hasn’t come to school for a whole week already?”
Was he a delinquent character?
I didn’t know who he was, but I’d have to be careful since a delinquent-picking-a-fight event could be triggered.
‘Is the one named Millie a girl…? If it’s circumstances, maybe sick leave? A frail, beautiful girl is good too~.’
Like that, I spread the wings of my delightful imagination and enjoyed the first day of my transfer to the academy in a sweet mood.
***
After that, when classes finished up to the 3rd period, all the students headed to their dormitories.
“Well then, see you tomorrow, Ares.”
“Yeah, see you tomorrow, Levin.”
Levin escorted me all the way to the dormitory, then waved her hand with that cute smile of hers and headed towards the girls’ dormitory.
‘Let’s see… Room 207, Room 207.’
Click, clunk!
*Creeeak!
“Ooooh! It’s a single room with no roommate?! Isn’t this totally awesome!”
My room in the dormitory was a fantasy-style single room with a decent design.
A fantasy-like room where the scent of digital devices could not be felt at all.
I flopped down onto the bed there and took a pleasant breath.
“Aah… so I really was possessed into a fantasy school story….”
A world of swords, magic, and beautiful girls that I had yearned for!
The things that happened to the protagonists I had always watched with envy from beyond the monitor had now happened to me.
The Peach Blossom Spring truly exists.
This place is my One Piece.
“Hmm….”
Swish, swish~
As I lay on the bed like that, feeling the pleasant breeze blowing in from the window.
I muttered to myself without thinking.
“Ah, but is there something like a status window…?”
At that moment.
Tiring!
“……”
A sound echoed in my ear.
“……Ha.”
I opened my eyes.
Did the status window I was half-expecting actually appear?
“Why didn’t I check from the beginning…?”
If it was an isekai possession cliché, it was something that existed with a 50% probability.
For a guy like me to miss this.
No, anyway.
If a status window appeared, then it was proper to check my status.
What kind of special perks would there be!
I started to get excited.
“Let’s see…, my status is…, huh?”
However, the screen that floated before my eyes was not the status window one commonly saw in games.
It was certainly a hologram-like window, but.
“…Academy, …Survival Gallery?”
What had appeared before my eyes was a gallery.

“What is this….”
It was clearly the appearance of a community site’s main page.
That site where you could post anonymously as ㅇㅇ.
“……”
Could it be that this was all just an absurd dream?
With that thought, I immediately wrote a post.
Because there was no other way to confirm it.

After writing a simple post, I immediately uploaded it.
“…Why is my IP like this?”
For a moment, I tilted my head at the awkward IP written next to my dynamic nickname, but that wasn’t the important thing.
And a moment later.

“……”
There were so many comments that I was confused.
First of all, the atmosphere was welcoming… I think.
‘Dead? Alive? What is this bullshit….’
It seemed like it would be difficult to get proper information from the current comments, so I checked another post.
Sure enough, a new post written for me had been uploaded.

As if possessed, I clicked on the post and examined its contents.

Honestly, I was in a situation where I hadn’t even organized my questions, so I didn’t know what to ask.
I posted the comment just hoping they would tell me everything on their own.
Fortunately, the author named [StudentCouncilTerrorist] kindly posted a reply.
ㄴ[StudentCouncilTerrorist: Ah ok ok]
ㄴ[StudentCouncilTerrorist: First, I’ll hammer in just one thing for sure]
