Digital Destiny: Transformation into Lan Hikari
2 Points
2
It starts as just another typical afternoon. You're browsing your collection of video games and anime, particularly the Megaman Battle Network series. You've always enjoyed immersing yourself in the digital adventures of Lan Hikari, an 11-year-old boy skilled in the art of Net Battling. His personality and adventures have always seemed so much larger than life, a vivid escape from reality.
As you boot up the game and dive into another round of battles, something unexpected happens. You feel an odd tingling sensation that begins to spread throughout your entire body. Startled, you look at your hands—they seem to be blurring, losing definition. Your heart pounds, and your vision swims as the room around you begins to warp and twist.
The sensation intensifies, becoming more and more uncomfortable. You gasp as you feel your body shrinking. Your height recedes rapidly, and your limbs become more slender yet strong with the energy of youth. If you were taller before, you're now around a preteen-sized height—specifically, 142.8 cm. Panic bubbles in your mind as the age regression continues fiercely. Memories of your years, experiences, and accomplishments fade and are replaced speciously in disjointed fragments.
"What's happening to me?" you exclaim, but the voice that cries out is already sounding less and less like your own. There's something about it that's shifting in timbre, becoming younger, more effervescent.
If you were female before, you feel a bizarre, unsettling inversion within your body. Your breasts flatten, and the curves giving you your feminine figure disappear. The changes continue internally, your reproductive organs restructuring painfully. You can feel a new, unfamiliar weight form below, an unmistakable shift into male anatomy. Your Adam's apple forms, and your previously feminine voice now fully adopts a masculine tenor.
Your hair becomes a tangle of chocolate brown, and as you quickly glance at a nearby window reflection, you notice it’s now messily styled and adorned by a familiar bandana. It bears the Hikari family mark. Your eyes, once an intimate detail of who you were, have transitioned to a warm brown hue.
Your clothes warp and adjust. The familiar sensation of fabric makes you dart your eyes to examine—white long-sleeved shirt, black squares on the elbows, layered below an orange vest. Black shorts with yellow stripes appear on your legs, along with black ankle socks and orange shoes with black stripes. The roller blades hang ready from your shoes. There’s no mistake. Despite everything, you know whose attire this is.
A sudden flood of new information pours into your brain like a dam breaking. Electronics, coding, school life, friends, so much of it crashing chaotically into place. No room is left for your memories; they weaken despite your best efforts to hold on. The activities, hobbies, and personality traits—the distraction of a new soccer move, inline skating down the street, the tension before a Net Battle—overwrite and dominate every other thought.
“Lan, could you wake up on time for once?” echoes a voice in your mind, distinct and familiar. “We need to be ready for the next battle!”
“Got it, MegaMan!” You retort automatically, in Lan Hikari’s voice, feeling a rush of camaraderie as you grab your PET.
They’re not just Lan’s memories and personality anymore—they’re yours. The transformation completes, sealing away what once was you. Your past identity dissolves into nothingness, a strand lost to the new fabric of reality.
You are Lan Hikari, always have been, forever will be.
Reality itself twists in finality, securing you within the vibrant, interconnected world of Megaman Battle Network. The familiar streets of DenTech city and the digital grid ignite your sense of adventure. No traces remain of another world, another life. You’ve forgotten entirely, oblivious to any prior existence.
“Let’s go, MegaMan! Virus busting awaits!”
Your strong sense of justice pulses through your veins as you skate energetically out the door, ready to face whatever awaits you next, filled with all the excitement and enthusiasm of an 11-year-old boy named Lan Hikari.

AI Prompts
Prompt: Write a POV transformation story of a human reader turning into Lan Hikari (who is also a human) from a Megaman Battle Network anime and video game series, complete with gender change (if the reader is a female before the transformation; in case the reader is female, her breasts flatten to leave her flat-chested, while her feminine curves vanished to give way to a male body, as an Adam's apple forms in her throat to give her a masculine voice, and her female genitals (vagina, ovaries, and uterus) invert itself into male genitals (testicles and penis); however, the reader could be a male before the transformation, so gender change is optional and only if the reader is female), height regression (making the reader preteen-sized), age regression (making the reader now only 11 years old), reality change (the reader's real world becoming the world of Megaman Battle Network), and mind/mental change (with all of the reader's personality and memories being completely replaced with Lan's personality and memories, despite the reader's best efforts on fighting them off (he doesn't want to forget his previous self but then completely forgets all about his previous self against his will), making him unable to remember his previous self, so he remembers (or rather knows) that he has always been Lan Hikari, completely oblivious/unaware of his previous self (which wasn't real to begin with)). The transformation is permanent (meaning it is forever) and is completely irreversible. For Lan Hikari's appearance (after the reader turned into him), he stands at 142.8 cm and has brown eyes and untidy brown hair, which he keeps out of his face with a bandana bearing the Hikari family mark. His upper-body attire consists of a white long-sleeved shirt with black squares on the elbows under an orange vest. From the waist down, he wears black shorts with yellow stripes on the sides, black ankle-socks, and orange shoes with black stripes. He carries detachable roller blades that allow him to instantly modify his shoes. He will often be seen with his backpack. He almost always carries his PET with him, and the later versions usually come with a pouch or a strap to carry it with. For Lan Hikari's personality, he is outgoing, headstrong, and has a strong sense of justice, though he is often lazy, often sleeping in causing him being late to prior engagements (even if he is the one who set them up), and is a poor student in school, much to Ms. Mari's frustration and despite MegaMan's nagging, though he has the highest grades in Virus Busting. Lan enjoys sports such as soccer and inline skating, which is shown in his preference to skate wherever he goes. He is shown to have a large appetite, often indulging when food is around. As an operator, Lan is able to concentrate in a way he cannot bring himself to do in other situations, and is quick to jump into action to save the day while others panic, even at his own risk. He has a keen sense of deduction, though he often has a simplistic way of looking at things. Despite his aptitude for Net Battling, Lan's ego and arrogance often lead to him making careless mistakes which sometimes put people he cares about in danger. His simple outlook on life also leads to several other problems, such as his emotional vulnerability, which has been exploited. Late in the third game, his vanity and then his trust are both abused in succession, and he is left believing that he is guilty for putting thousands of lives in danger, including his father's, causing him to fall into depression. When he finally arises, his worldview is tempered with a better understanding of evil. There should also be quotes from the characters in this story so we know what they're saying and what they're thinking. Also, it is a POV reader story, so it should not be in an author's point of view (my, I, mine, etc), and it should be from the point of view of the reader (you, your, etc).
