What the actual fuck.

You blink, absolutely dumbfounded. There's some kind of grotesque, insect-like creature in front of you, buzzing ohnoxiously as it flaps its wings. It bears the appearance of a fly, at least somewhat, but it's much bigger than a normal fly, and its face looks like it came straight out of a low-budget horror movie.

The point is, it's not normal. It's not the kind of thing you've seen before. At the very least, not in real life.

And yet, you're the only one who seems to notice it.

"...I keep telling you, it's weird," a girl mumbles, scratching her neck impatiently. "I can't get rid of it.

There's this chill that follows me around no matter where I go, and my shoulders feel weirdly heavy lately. I even went to a chiropractor to help. I feel so gross these days." if it would

The fly-like creature is hovering closely above the girl, a disturbing smile plastered across its already unattractive face. It's literally right next to her, and not only her, but the other girls that are gathered around. They're all just talking like nothing's even going on. Completely blind to the abnormal presence that lurks nearby.

You're the only one who can see that yucky-looking thing. How does that make any sense? How is it even possible for something like that to exist in real life? Actually... where are you right now?

Once again, you blink. Something utterly strange is happening. The last thing you remember is going to bed, in your perfectly ordinary bedroom, so how in the world did you wake up in the middle of what appears to be a field?

You're at a school, by the looks of things. But

certainly not the school you're used to attending. It seems like you're even wearing some unfamiliar uniform, and it would make sense for this to be a dream, but by all accounts, it's way too realistic.

Pinching your cheek doesn't help. The scenery refuses to change, and sure enough, the creature is still hanging above that girl. It even lets out a shrill, high-pitched laugh (which she of course doesn't hear), almost as if it's taunting her.

You're not sure what you should be doing right now. This is all one hell of a mindfuck, if you're being honest. But that creature can't be good news, and even though you're admittedly pretty scared, it seems like you're the only one who can see it. You're the only one who even realizes it's here.

Swallowing your apprehension, you take a deep breath and approach.

"Excuse me...?" You call out to the group of girls. There's no easy way to break this to them. How do you hring up the fact that there's some weird creature in the vicinity? If they can't see it, there's no reason they'll even believe you. They'll probably just think you're crazy or something.

As it so happens, though, you aren't required to recount some absurd, seemingly nonsensical tale.

You've barely taken two steps forward when all of a sudden, the creature sharply turns its head in your direction.

And then it screams.

Just like its laugh, the sound is high-pitched and wholly unpleasant. You're not even sure what prompted that kind of reaction, since it seemed pretty chill up until this point, but now, it's trembling like a leaf in the wind.

You're worried that you might have triggered it somehow, and that it's going to attack you, but that doesn't happen either. It turns out that the scream it just let out wasn't one of aggression, but rather, fear So, it flies off before you can get any closer, and the girl who was complaining until just a few moments.

Ago suddenly blinks, expression brightening.

"Whoa, wait," she mumbles in disbelief. It's it's gone. I think I feel better now. No way. It's actually gone! I thought it would never end!"

"Are you sure it wasn't just all in your head?" one of the other girls frowns, visibly unconvinced. She then turns towards you. "Oh. Sorry, were you talking to us you just now? I didn't really hear what you said,"

You're not sure what to say. The whole reason you so you could warn them about that came weird creature, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye. It screamed right as it saw your face-which is kind of offensive, honestly-and then it flew off like

no one's business.

A bit hesitant, you try asking, "Sorry if this sounds weird, but where we right now?"

Now it's their turn to look dumbfounded. You can only imagine how visceral their reaction would have been if you'd actually brought up the weird fly creature.

"What do you mean where are we? We're... at school, where else?"

The girl gestures all around her, as if it should be obvious. Granted, you deduced as much, but that wasn't really what you were asking. All of this is just so ridiculous. How in the world does a person

manage to go to sleep in their own room and wake up someplace they've never heen hefore?

The group decides to walk away, probably because

you weirded them out with your stupid question, and you can even hear them whispering amongst themselves.

"Why'd she even ask that all of a sudden "I don't know. She transferred here just recently, right? Maybe she's still getting used to things. It was kind of weird, though."

They keep talking about it as they leave, probably not realizing you still hear them. Whatever. You've got bigger fish to fry right now. As things stand, you woke up god-knows-where, and you just saw some freakish creature a second ago, so you're starting to worry that you might be going insane.

The only explanation is that this has to be some kind of dream. A lucid dream, perhaps? That's what they call these kinds of things, right?

This is way too freaky, though. Can I make myself wake up? I really don't like this. It gives me the creeps.

You desperately try to force yourself awake, but regretfully, it doesn't work. And you're not even given much time to speculate on the issue any further.

A soccer ball comes flying at you and hits you right in the face.

It hurts. It hurts like fucking hell. In fact, it hurts so much that you're knocked flat onto your back, groaning as you cradle your poor nose, which feels like it's just been split open.

"...holy shit, are you okay?!"

You can hear a student running towards you, but since you're lying on your back convinced you're about to die, you don't pay it much mind. The immense amount of pain you're feeling is absurd.

Even for a lucid dream, isn't this too much? However, things are only about to get weirder.

Like way, way weirder.

"I'm so sorry!" the same student apologizes. It's a boy, by the sounds of it, and you hear him drop to his knees beside you. "I swear I wasn't even trying to

kick the ball that hard! I harely even used any force!"

From afar, another student chimes in. "Even when you hold back, you're way too strong, Itadori? Is she dead? You killed her, didn't you?"

Did he just say... Itadort?

For just a moment, the pain subsides, and clarity overtakes your features. You manage to squint your eyes open and find a boy staring down at you. A boy

with bright brown eyes, and spiky pink bair styled in an undercut.

A boy that you've most definitely seen before.

Your jaw drops open. There's just no way. This is... Itadori Yuji? The protagonist of Jujutsu Kaisen? A fictional series, which, by definition, means he doesn't actually exist?

Yet here he is, fussing over you and looking

immeasurably guilty for having just kicked a soccer ball in your face. And even though you keep trying to tell yourself that this is a dream, it's getting harder and harder to deny. The sensations you feel the pain, the confusion, and the excited fluttering in your chest-are impossible to ignore.

It all makes

saw earlier ow. That weird creature you. a cursed spirit. That explains why those girls didn't even notice it. Ordinary humans. normally can't perceive curses. Most of the time, they're completely unaware of their existence.

You realize how utterly absurd this is. People don't just wake up and find themselves sucked into their favorite anime. No matter how badly some fans might wish for it, this kind of thing just doesn't happen.

Or at least, it's not supposed to.

"Wait, your-your nose is bleeding!" Itadori exclaims. should I carry you?" "I need to get you to the infirmary! Can you walk? Or

He appears frantic, which of course he is, since he's a good guy. He's the kind of guy who always cares about others. A guy with a hig heart, a friendly demeanor, and a penchant for justice. Truly, the perfect protagonist.

...50, is this seriously happening right now? "I-I'm fine," you try to insist. "I just... need a moment. And then I'll be okay."

Itadori seems entirely unconvinced, so you suspect your nose is probably bleeding even more than you fear. Right now, you honestly couldn't care less,

though. Your heart is pounding relentlessly. The excitement and awe you feel can't even be put into words.

"I'll take you to the infirmary," Itadori says again. He

It's difficult just to form a response. You're overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of his presence. The fact that you're face to face with someone you never thought you'd be able to see in person, let alone speak to.

resists the urge to outright pick you up into his arms. and after a moment's pause, he offers you his hand instead. "Here. Try standing up. If not. I'll carry you there, okay?"

But even if it seems hard to believe, even if it makes you want to question your sanity, this is real. This is actually happening.

And so, you take his hand-changing the course of your life as you know it.

Since this is an isekai story, I have a lot of fun moments and outcomes planned! It's also a Various! JJK x Reader, which means the MC will get to have a bunch of interactions with a variety of characters. There will also be some subtle themes of jealousy throughout, and I added a yandere tag mostly for villains like Mahito, Sukuna, Kenjaku, etc. that are going to way too obsessed with MC for their own good:') But yeah, I've got tons planned for this story, so it would really mean a lot to me if you gave it a chance! <3
