Rewrite
I groaned in happiness as I sat down on my couch. It had been a hard day at work after a 16-hour shift three days in a row, and all I wanted was to kick back, but at least I was free from work for the next two days.
Honestly, even as I tried to relax, I had this weight on my shoulders like a huge clock just ticking over my head, counting down to when I'd have to go back. I didn't know if other people felt this way but the tired eyes of my coworkers i was sure they felt it too but whether I was at work or not at work all I had was the clock slowly ticking down when I was at work the clock symbolizing when I could leave and now when I was supposed to be relaxing I saw the clock ticking of when I needed to go back.
I was thinking of quitting. It wasn't like it was an important job; I was a security guard at a plastic spork factory, but hey, at least the pay was good, but it definitely wasn't what I wanted out of life. I had been there three years after the first year I got promoted to supervisor, but don't go throwing a parade for me; that just meant I was responsible for when other people called out. It's ridiculous how hard it was to keep a regular security team there, I guess because it was so ridiculously boring, people didn't want the job. I partially wondered why they even had a security team. There isn't much worry of mass spork theft. I would often imagine the person stupid enough to rob a spork facility would have to be some Saturday morning cartoon villain level of stupid.
But then again, who is really able to pursue their dreams if you don't have the resources or the innate talent to be successful quickly? How can you pursue it? My love of anime and comics cracking through my pessimistic thoughts thinking of luffy and naruto but honestly even though those shonen protagonists with long aspirations, The best ones where kind of nepo babies I mean look at luffy, his dad was a leader of the revolution army, his mentor a yonko, his grandfather the hero of the marines or naruto son of the fourth hokage, son of the uzumaki princess which sort of made him connected to the senju, 9 tailed beast sealed inside him that was the strongest tailed beast and supposed to be hatred incarnate but was swayed by his cheerful personality, his mentor the toad sage who trained the fourth hokage and was the student of the third, and his sensei the sixth hokage though kakashi barely taught him anything.
That's not even including their array of powerful friends. Just saying that for characters that are supposed to show that all dreams are possible, they serve more as evidence that dreams are only possible if you have the prerequisite to achieve them.
Personally, I had few opportunities around me, money was tight, even though, like many 22-year-olds in my generation, I still lived with my mom. Though i had a pessimistyic view of my circumstances I wasn't giving up on myself I was in school trying to get a degree to give myself a few more career options something where i wasnt working 70 hours a week just to make ends meet,I had dreams of myself as far off as they seemed find a girl, get married have a couple rugrats go for that whole white picket fence. The American dream.
I considered myself smart, but maybe just slightly above average. My dream seemed realistic at first. I wasn't trying to rule the world or be a corporate tycoon just maybe leave the world a little better than I found it. A simple, quiet life, love liberty the pursuit of happiness. I know the grass is always greener and the reality would be far from the picture-perfect quality that I dreamed of, but in my more optimistic moments, I couldn't help but hope but the true present day mechanics of life, It felt like there was just this big hole in my pocket no matter how hard I worked it seemed as if I had even less money and farther and farther away from my dream.
Though all of it wasn't just about money, I had had a few girlfriends but the relationships were maybe a month here or there because of the amount I worked and the isolation of my job, my already kind of poor social skills had slowly devolved. Plus, living at home with my mom, it was hard to build a relationship.
Though I loved my mom, a big part of me working so much was to save money to get my own place, but that would take at least another year. Though my mom was easy to live with, I still desperately wanted my own space.
I push those thoughts out of my head, thinking about the future with my outlook would drive me insane. I empty out my pockets, I put my wallet and keys and bring my phone up. I must have missed a text from my mom, she had sent me a picture from the cruise she had taken with my her best friend, Amber.
'Danny, please empty out the fridge when you get a chance. Miss you, love you.' The text read with a picture of her at the beach. I just sent a quick confirmation. told her I loved her and to have fun. I'm a little jealous that I couldn't go with them. I hadn't had multiple days off in a row in a while, much less a vacation; it would be nice, but I'm trying to be responsible.
I grab the remote off the coffee table, I focus on the TV, and I put my feet up on the coffee table. I turn on the TV. As soon as I turn the TV on, a song Blasts from the tv.
Somebody save me
Let your warm hands break right through
Somebody save me
I don't care how you do it, just stay, stay
I let the famous song of Smallville play throughout out of nostalgia. I didn't really feel like watching the whole show. I had watched the entire show twice and the specific episode at least four times. I liked the show, but there were a few things I didn't love.
I press the guide button and read the first titles on a list of a dozen or so. The second was Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, The Third was Doctor Strange. I would have kept reading, but I heard a loud boom. The wall behind me exploded. I was launched forward straight into the TV so hard that the wall behind the TV broke through. The initial blast knocked the wind out of me. I felt like I couldn't breathe, my limbs couldn't move.
I had intense pain in my chest. I looked down at the pole, about 5 inches thick, which was through my chest, connected between me, and the pole was extended straight through me three feet forward, embedded into the TV. The TV was damaged, but it was still flickering between the channel guide and static, and for some reason, I found it funny. a chuckle that came out as a gurgling cough left my lips.
The words on the screen seemed to blur the edges of sight, becoming darker. My last sight is of the TV flickering and a creepy smiley face appearing through the flashes of the screen between the static.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next second I open my eyes, and I don't recognise my surroundings. The pain is gone, so that's a good sign. I sit up wincing, no protruding pole through my chest, so my situation has definitely improved. A bluish bright light surrounded me from all directions. My body feels weird, my limbs feel short, just swivelling my head around to look for the source of the light takes a tremendous amount of effortrt. I'm most certainly no longer in my house. I know that at least, I'm on a bed I don't recognise with what seem to be pillars all the way around acting as a bar with this behemoth of a woman standing over it.
The room is ridiculously big as well. There is a second bed in the room fit for the giantess, and then I look at a mirror and see a toddler in a crib. The kid is cute, I guess, with black hair, plain skin, and bright eyes. I raise my hand, and the toddler does the same. All at once, I realise what must have happened. My years at a ridiculously boring job had left me a lot of time on my hands, and I had read enough fanfiction and wtached enough anime to know a transmigration/reinarnation when I saw one.
A smile broke on my face, but as soon as it came, it fell off my face at the thought of my mom. A single tear went down my cheek. My thoughts started to race I started to rationalise the loss. My mom would be fine; she has a pretty full life, the house is paid for, and she has a great job. She'll be fine without me. A few friends might be sad at my loss, but I hadn't had the chance to make the impact I wish I had. I could do things better with a second try.

As soon as I saw it, I knew the trope, and I couldn't help the bubble of excitement building in my chest. I clicked Confirm, and as soon as I did, I felt a surge of pain in my head. It was like a dam broke in my mind, unlike anything. I couldn't breathe, I couldn't think, I couldn't even think and just like that, my vision faded to black again.
