The Nebulous Transmutation: Lan Hikari's Journey into Electopia
0 Points
The sun casts a golden hue over the park as you walk down the path, its rays peeking through the canopy of trees. Everything feels so ordinary—until the world around you begins to shimmer and distort. You pause mid-step, your breath catching in your throat. "What's happening?" you whisper aloud, but your voice seems to be swallowed by the strange shimmering light enveloping you.
Your vision blurs and spins, the world around you dissolving into a swirl of vibrant colors and bizarre sensations. Panic wells up inside, and you try to run, shout, do anything—but your limbs feel like they’re moving through syrup. The ground feels unsteady beneath you, and a sense of vertigo overwhelms you.
As the disorienting lights and sounds reach a crescendo, you feel an agonizing, twisting sensation moving through your body. Your heart races as you look down to see your feminine curves vanish, your chest flattening, and your hips straightening out into a more masculine form. An odd sensation crawls through your throat as an Adam's apple forms, and you realize with a jolt that your voice will never sound the same again. The changes below your waist are felt more than seen; a strange tingling, a pressure, and a sense of transformation until your body is undeniably male.
"I don't want this!" You try to shout, but your voice cracks, deeper than before. Struggling, you feel your height diminishing, the world around you growing taller as you shrink to a pre-teen size.
Your attire morphs; your clothes shift and reshape into a familiar white long-sleeved shirt with black squares on the elbows under an orange vest. Black shorts with yellow stripes, black ankle-socks, and orange shoes with black stripes complete the transformation. You can feel the weight of the PET device forming in your hands, its assurance oddly comforting but deeply disconcerting at the same time.
The swirling colors and sensations fade, replaced by a bustling urban environment. Not the one you know, but Electopia, the world of MegaMan Battle Network. You remember this world, but not in the way you remember your own life.
"Lan, are you okay?" a voice crackles from your PET. It's MegaMan.EXE, your NetNavi, concerned.
You try to hold on to your fading past, but your memories seem to slip through your fingers like water. Familiarity wars with the alien. "MegaMan?" you say, your voice a high-pitched male's tone now. Every fiber of your being fights to remember who you were, but it’s like a fog rolling in, obscuring everything that was once clear.
"You shouldn't push yourself too hard," MegaMan continues. “You have that match later today, remember?”
You nod absentmindedly, eyes wide and lost. "Right... the match," you mutter, but it feels like you're grasping at straws, the match someone else's responsibility, not yours. Yet, the idea feels inherently right now.
You feel your determination and outgoing spirit coming forward, determined to face the challenges as Lan, even as a part of you tries—and fails—to cling to the remnants of something else.
A rush of new memories floods your mind. The love for soccer, your friends, the earnest but often frustrated tutelage under Ms. Mari. Your hands instinctively tighten around the PET, the motion natural, the device an extension of your being.
You snap up your backpack, the old identity a mere whisper, drowned out by the roar of your new reality. "Let's go, MegaMan! We’ve got a world to save!" you declare, voice filled with newfound confidence and vigor.
“Right, Lan!” MegaMan responds enthusiastically.
As you rush out the door, the sun shining brighter than ever over DenTech City, you cannot recall what came before. All you know is that you are Lan Hikari, this is your world, and you have endless adventures awaiting you.

AI Prompts
Prompt: Write a POV transformation story of the 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).
