Another day, another boring interaction with the outside world.

Jack yawned and stretched his arms up in the air, the sweaty shirt he wore sticking to his skin as he moved.

Ah… he had to go get groceries today…

He grumbled at the thought of having to go outside as he got out of bed and motioned towards his drawers to get some new clothes. He hadn't showered in a few days, and so he'd have to do it today, if he wanted to not feel judged by everyone around him.

He undressed, tossing his clothes on the growing pile of dirty clothes in his room, and then went to the bathroom with his new clothes. 

As the warm water hit his skin, he sighed and felt his muscles relax. He really should shower more often. Despite the effort, it was definitely relaxing.

He sat down on the ground and yawned again, letting the water hit his disheveled head as he closed his eyes.

Mmh… the new Maka-Maka figurine was also coming out today… maybe he should go get it first, before it sold out, knowing all those dumb normie fans would probably try getting it first… 

Reinvigorated by that thought, Jack stood up and quickly washed himself, before leaving the shower and dressing up.

Yeah. Outside was hell, but oh getting that figurine would be worth it!!

He walked outside, and almost jogged to where the local shop was, where he saw just how many people there were in there. Goddamn normies, probably all standing in line for Maka-Maka. Even though they definitely didn't deserve it like he did.

"Ugh, out of the way, I did a pre-order!" He lied as he pushed his way through the crowd, ignoring all the angry protestations and insults as he got to the counter.

"Hello!! I'm here for Maka-Maka!!" He huffed, out of breath, as he finally arrived. The teenager at the counter looked at him with glassy, tired eyes, and let out a soft sigh before forcing a smile as he grabbed a figurine box from under the counter. "Oh, of course! Although you did cut in line, so unless you pre-ordered and have the proof, I'm going to have to ask you to go back where you were." He said in the rather monotone, robotic voice of someone who'd been repeating the same line all day.

Jack felt his blood boil and he breathed in angrily. 

"Well, I'll have you know that I've been a fan of Maka-chan ever since the show came out!! I went to every Maka-Con, I attended all the panels, I donated to the writers after their house caught on fire AND I even own all the limited edition figurines, even the ones personally signed by Maka-Maka's original voice actress herself!! If anyone deserves to get the figurine, IT'S ME!!!" he exclaimed in one breath, and the teen at the counter stared at him for a few seconds, making an awkward facial expression.

"Yeah, uh, I don't know if that's, uhm…" he mumbled, and then grabbed his phone to call a coworker.

"Oh my god dude, can't you just go back and wait like everyone else??" Someone behind Jack said.

"Some of us have been waiting for hours, have some compassion!!"

"It's just a fucking doll, my guy, chill out and take the L!"

Even more angry now, and starting to feel a bit humiliated, Jack stomped back down the line, insulting everyone along the way just so he could feel a bit better.

How dare they act more mature than him?? He was the number one fan!! He was the one who deserved the figurine?! And yet all these dumb normies thought they were entitled to it more than him, and for what?? No reason at all!!

He scoffed and shoved his hands down his pockets as he walked down the streets to the grocery store.

Well, fuck that, he'd go by the store later. Maybe his luck would turn and there would still be some left.

"Ugh, and to think I was feeling a bit better today. Those damn assholes ruined my mood… This is why I never go outside…" he grumbled as he filled up his grocery basket, only getting more silently pissed as he felt the anxious stares of the people around him who could hear him talk to himself.

Fuck these guys too. They couldn't understand his pain. They probably thought he was weird. Assholes, they all judged him, why? Because he was wearing a cute anime shirt? 

Man, society hated his kind so much, it was so unfair… 

As he paid for all his things and walked back home, he still couldn't get that annoyance out of him.

If only he could just get hit by Truck-Kun and get transported into one of his favorite anime world… ah… he'd finally get some recognition and fame there… a place where he truly belonged… 

"Hey." an unfamiliar voice mumbled behind Jack, and he felt a sharp edge press against his back. 

"Empty your pockets and give me your bag. Or I'll kill you." The voice mumbled again behind him, and Jack felt his heart skip a beat.

Oh. Fuck.

There weren't any people around. Nobody who could help him. Would they even care, even if they were here to see?

"W-wait, there's only groceries in the bag, nothing you'd want…" he mumbled nervously, and the robber turned him around, pointing his knife at Jack.

"You fuckin with me???" He exclaimed, and Jack shook his head in fear. "N-no!!! I-I just- I'm telling the truth! There's just groceries in there, and I have no money on me, please!!"

"You little bitch!" The robber exclaimed, and immediately slit Jack's throat before the man could react. 

Jack fell to the ground, convulsing, finding it hard to breathe or think or anything of the sort. Because it hurt, it hurt, it hurt so much, it hurt so much!!!

The robber knelt down and looked around Jack's jean and hoodie pockets, grabbing everything he could in a hurry, before running off with the bags, as Jack only laid there in agony.

There was so much blood. Fuck, fuck, he couldn't die!!! Not like this!!

He didn't even get to buy the Maka-Maka figurine…

So, he's dead?

Just like that.

I have to say, I'm disappointed.

I saw it coming, personally.

He was an atheist. He worshipped none of us. What path do we choose for the after?

I suggest reincarnation.

I second that.

Well… it's true, he has not followed his given path at all. A lesson is what he needs.

Reincarnation it is.

Jack opened his eyes, breathing in sharply some well-needed air. 

He was alive??

He breathed in again. The air was cold. He had trouble seeing for now, his vision felt blurry, and he could barely move, as if he had just woken up from a coma. 

He could feel just how freezing everything was around him just by breathing in. Although he could hear wind, he didn't feel it on his own skin, and he assumed he was protected by it somehow, maybe in a house or something.

He blinked a few times and slowly moved up, now starting to shiver as the cold settled in. He felt… naked. Was he naked?

He didn't have time to check, however, because as soon as he sat up, he saw there was someone in there, in the dark cavern, in front of him.

It was very big, maybe 220 centimeters. It was covered in white fur, some areas more than others, with the head having the most, including two big, long braids. And it had a humanoid face, staring right at Jack with its big blue eyes, a roughly made wooden spear in front of it.

It said something, seemingly nervous, but Jack didn't understand it. It wasn't speaking English. But it did have a rather high, feminine voice. Hard to tell from the body alone due to the sheer mass of muscles and fur all over her. She looked like some sort of yeti.

"Uhm, hello? Where am I?" Jack asked, and realised his voice sounded a bit different, somewhat more coarse and a bit lower than usual.

He looked down at himself. Holy shit.

He was indeed naked, although it was rather hard to tell with all the dirty brown and white fur all over him. His hands were big, with large claws and very rough palms. Definitely not his normal hands. What the fuck??

The yeti woman growled, still sounding scared, and went to look at him. Jack moved back, intimidated.

"Hello?? Do you understand me??" 

She tilted her head and her eyes widened, and she frowned, before standing up and grabbing him in her arms and running out of the cavern. Immediately, the cod got stronger, and he felt the heavy, harsh wind coupled with the almost painful snowflakes crash against his skin.

"Hey??? What's going on??" Jack exclaimed, getting more confused and scared by the second.

Just a second ago he was getting killed by a robber?? And now he was in some weird place full of snow and he looked like a yeti?? 

Was this some kind of-

His eyes widened and he started smiling.

Some kind of isekai, perhaps..?

He chuckled to himself. Oh, thank you, whatever god made him reincarnate. He probably didn't look very attractive right now, but just like in his anime, that wouldn't mean he couldn't get in all sorts of cool shenanigans, mainly with cute monster girls!!

He already felt a bit less scared at the idea, and relaxed a bit.

Oh, all those yeti people were probably like the ogres or orcs of this universe. Then, a cute, sexy knight girl would rescue him, and then she'd teach him how to fight, and then he'd unlock his latent magical potential with the help of a sexy elf girl, and go on adventures with a sexy demi-human girl, and save the kingdom from the oppressive king and/or queen with all his harem!!!

He had barely closed his eyes when he felt himself get placed on the cold, hard dirt ground. He saw he was in a large hut made of ice and rocks, With some blankets and fur in patches all over the place. It was rather dark, the only thing illuminating the place being a sort of round blue geode, softly emitting light in the middle of the hut.

The yeti lady shuffled around her hut, rummaging through leather bags and wooden boxes, before she got out some sort of dried roots, and a thin piece of cooked meat. She went to see Jack and pointed to the pile of blankets, saying something incomprehensible. Not exactly sure what to do but trying to guess, Jack went near the blankets and looked back and forth. She said something and nodded, moving her hand, probably for him to keep going.

He sat down on the blankets, which were very comfortable, and she sat in front of him and gave him the piece of meat, making a chewing motion with her own mouth as she said something and pointed to him. Ah, she was feeding him.

He took a bite of the meat and chewed. It was rather dry and hard, and also cold, and it tasted… like smoke and salt. 

Well, not the best steak he had, but it wasn't so bad.

She waited until he was finished with the whole piece before she gave him the roots. They looked a bit like ginger, although somewhat thinner. And when he took a bite, it tasted more like carrots or potatoes than anything else. He kept chewing and sighed.

Feeding him? Why? Well, not to say he wasn't hungry; for some reason, he was starving, as if he hadn't eaten for days. 

But why was she feeding him? She seemed scared of him only a few seconds ago, probably because he appeared out of nowhere. Plus, she looked super scary, with those squinty eyes, large nose and big sharp teeth, like some kind of evil monster. She could've very well just eaten him herself or something.

After he was done, he still felt a bit hungry, and he looked down, patting his stomach. Yikes. It looked like he had fur missing in some places, like it fell out. And from what he could see of his body, he looked so thin, you could see his ribs very clearly.

She gave him another piece of meat, and then grabbed a small blanket, and went outside, coming back with it being damp and full of snow. As he kept eating, she started patting the cloth over his body, washing some of the dirt stuck to his fur.

After doing a light cleanup of his body, she looked back up at Jack, and said something, as she pointed to herself. 

"Huh?" 

He had no idea what she just said.

She sighed and seemed to think for a second, before pointing to herself again.

"Ki-Oh-Ri. Kyory!" She enunciated slowly. And then she pointed to him and cocked her head.

"Oh, uh. Jack. Jah-kuh. Jaaah-kuhhh!" Jack explained, and she smiled and nodded. "Jackull." She repeated, and while it wasn't exactly what Jack had said, he didn't really bother correcting her, and instead kept eating.

He looked at Kyory (assuming that was her name), as she grabbed a large piece of fur and started fiddling with it with her claws. Soon enough, it started to look like some sort of thin cord, and Jack felt a bit surprised. Ah, so did she make those blankets herself then?

She probably noticed he was staring, as she looked up at him, smiled and waved her hand. Jack hummed in return, and laid down on the blanket, shivering a bit.

How long would it take before he'd get rescued? Hopefully he wouldn't have to wait too long before someone arrived and took him to the nearby kingdom.

"Ugh, I hope I can take a real, nice bath one day. Everything smells like shit in here…" he grumbled, not really caring if the yeti lady heard him, considering she couldn't speak his language. "Well, not really shit shit, more like, blood, dirt and fish." He added.

The yeti looked at him and frowned in confusion. She stopped making the yarn and went to see him. She placed her palm on his forehead and hummed, and then grabbed his face to stare at him intensely, grabbing his eyes with her thumbs to stretch them open, and then opening his mouth to look down his throat.

"Ugh, I'm not sick, Jesus." Jack grumbled as he pushed her away. The lady chuckled and snorted, finding him rather amusing as he was trying to assert a very non-existent dominance over her. She ruffled his hair and said something, before taking another blanket from the box, and along with that a crudely made plush stuffed whatever kind of animal.

Jack groaned and let her tuck him in, definitely hating how she was treating him like a child or some fragile dumb thing that needed to be protected.

What the fuck. This isn't at all what he wanted out of this… 

Where were all the sexy anime girls..?
