Chapter 1
Isekai Truck
Isekai Truck.
If you think it is cliché, try getting hit by it yourself. Ah, you realize it is not cliché at all. You understand that instantly.
It was a chain of misfortune.
For example, the sequel to a massive mechanical game series that seemed to have already gone extinct was released not on my Play Box or X Station, but on a Ninshipdo.
I searched every corner for the cheapest possible price just to buy a Ninshipdo, but I still did not have enough money to afford it.
By the time everyone else had already played the game and the used chips were flooding the market, even the cheapest secondhand chip was too far from my home.
I finally managed to get a used chip, crossed the street on a green light, and then got hit by a truck.
No, to be honest, I did not die right there. I survived being hit, got my hospital expenses sorted, and even ran all the way back home.
After that, I created my character and finished allocating all my karma points.
It was the kind of system everyone knows. You add negative traits, and in exchange you gain positive ones.
Constraint I: Otaku
I become weak in everything outside my specialty. My thinking turns negative, my personality becomes gloomy, and I cannot socialize with people.
So, a hardcore otaku.
Constraint II: Low Self-Esteem
I become passive in every choice and cannot view myself positively.
Self-esteem completely dropped.
Constraint III: Commoner
Except for a few NPCs, all initial interactions with NPCs become disadvantageous.
Poor and born low in status.
Even if it leads to a bad ending, as long as there is an ending, it is fine. So I stacked all kinds of restrictions related to interaction.
Special Trait I: Spatial Awareness
I gain exceptional ability to understand surrounding space.
Like having eyes in the back of my head.
Special Trait II: Speed Reading
The time required to learn skills is greatly reduced.
I secure high potential growth.
Special Trait III: Natural Pilot
Initial piloting ability increases significantly. It does not affect physical ability.
This compensates for the low base stats.
After finishing karma adjustment, just before pressing the start button, I realized something. My hands were shaking badly. It was definitely aftereffects from the traffic accident. Pain started spreading through my body late, and cold sweat began to form.
In the end, the moment I pressed the start button, my eyes closed.
And when I opened them again, I immediately understood.
“I’m screwed.”
