The day began like any other, routine, predictable. There were no hints that it would be the last day you would ever be yourself. As you returned home from school, your mind wandered to nothing in particular - typical thoughts that filled your head. That is, until the world seemed to ripple around you.
It began subtly, almost like a distortion in the air, allowing a moment of confusion to wash over you. Your reflection from a nearby window started warping, colors blending and twisting together.
"What the...?" you muttered, disoriented. Your voice sounded normal, but there was an inexplicable sense of unease.
Suddenly, an invisible force gripped your body. A burning sensation began to course through your veins, forcing you to double over in pain. Your vision blurred as you fell to your knees. Holding your breath, you clutched your chest, feeling your heart pound erratically.
"Stop it!" you screamed internally, but the force was overwhelming, and you felt a shift unlike anything you could have ever imagined.
Your very soul seemed to be stretching and pulling. Desperate to fight off the changes, you groaned aloud, “What’s happening to me?!”
*WHOOSH!*
Your breath caught as your feminine curves straightened, and your muscles contracted. A foreign yet familiar appendage began to form where previously none existed, bringing both pain and a bizarre flush of energy. You felt your breasts flattening and disappearing completely. An intense chill ran down your spine as your insides rearranged. Your face felt as if it was transforming, the shape of your jawline and cheekbones shifting to a more angular, masculine structure. An Adam's apple formed in your throat, altering the pitch of your scream almost instantaneously.
"Help! Someone help!" your voice cracked mid-shout, now undeniably masculine.
Then, just as suddenly as the transformations began, you felt your body rapidly shrinking. A dizzying rush of vertigo struck as you regressed in age, your limbs shortening, room seeming to grow around you. Your clothes transformed to fit your new, smaller frame, depicted in an orange vest, a white long-sleeved shirt, black shorts, and those unmistakable orange shoes.
Your grip on reality started slipping as memories, not your own, began flooding your mind. You clung desperately to who you were, trying to summon images of your old life, but they slipped through your mental grasp like sand.
A lively memory flashed across your mind. "Lan, wake up! You're going to be late for school again!" the voice of your mother rang clear. No! This can't be happening!
But one name rung incessantly loud within your thoughts: *Lan Hikari.*
A rush of names, events, feelings, intertwined in your consciousness like a web being rapidly woven. MegaMan, the PET device, countless net battles, Ms. Mari’s classes... It was too much. Bit by bit, your previous self slipped further away, buried beneath the waves of this new identity filling every crevice of your being.
“Lan,” you muttered, feeling an inexplicable warmth when saying the name.
“That’s right!” a voice echoed within your mind. It was MegaMan’s voice, comforting yet authoritative. "Don’t daydream, Lan! We have to hurry if we’re going to make it to Dr. Hikari’s next demonstration."
Your sense of self shattered completely, leaving only fragmented remnants of what once was. You do not recognize your name, can’t recall your family, your past life. They are but whispers in the wind, memories that are no longer yours to own.
"Yeah, yeah, MegaMan! I'm on it!" you—no—*Lan Hikari* responded cheerfully, rolling out of bed and getting on your rollerblades. Unfamiliarity faded as natural instinct took over, everything now second nature.
"I'm so lazy sometimes; Mom’s gonna scold me again!" you sighed, feeling that well-known guilt for sleeping in but shaking it off as you headed towards the door. A clock showed 7:45 AM; school was starting soon.
Lan’s laughs, his quirks, his love for soccer, all overwhelmed you until there was no distinction between the former you and Lan. To you, it felt as if you'd always been Lan Hikari, and that you’d always live out this story of adventures and net battles in the perpetual fight against cyber viruses.
Lan dashed through the door, backpack slung over one shoulder and PET securely fastened as he skated down the street, his second life in full swing. As the sun rose on a world now embroiled in the digital landscape, this new reality embraced you.
"Let’s go, MegaMan!” you exclaimed, the last vestiges of your former consciousness fading away.
"Ready when you are, Lan!" MegaMan replied cheerfully. And with that, you—Lan Hikari—embarked on your next great adventure, oblivious to the echo of a life once lived.
This story was generated by user LanHikari with assistance by one of OpenAI’s large-scale language-generation model; prompts used to help generate the story are shown below.
Images were generated with OpenAI's AI system, DALL·E 2, or uploaded by the user.
Prompt: Write the POV transformation story of the human reader turning into Lan Hikari from the 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, this gender change is optional), height regression (making the reader preteen-sized), age regression (making the reader now 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, making him unable to remember his previous self and only remember being Lan Hikari, completely oblivious/unaware of his previous self). 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).
