Truth be told, I never expected that stepping out of the house after a month of being shut in would end with me dying.
My name is Aiden Grimmwolf. I'm 21 years old, a lover of games and TV series, and I work from home as a graphic designer. I'm good at it, so I work for major companies and earn enough to live comfortably.
I'm an only child and the black sheep of the family. My parents wanted a doctor; I wanted to design. In the end, we stopped talking because every phone call was just a reminder that some friend's son had just graduated from medical school, was making millions, and was highly respected.
Currently, I'm single, waiting for the love of my life to knock on my door and confess her feelings... I know it won't happen, but dreaming is free.
But anyway, back to the topic... I died on my very first outing. Who would have thought a human dies if they get shot? Sarcasm...
Yes, I got shot. And before you jump to conclusions: no, I didn't play the hero saving a girl or anything like that. It was a run-of-the-mill robbery. Since I value my life and I'm pretty sedentary, I let myself get robbed without a peep.
The problem was that the thief was so high or nervous that the gun went off on its own. He had scary aim: straight through the heart. My last memories are his panicked face before he ran off, leaving me to die right there.
"Fortunately, it seems you don't need to be Asian to get an isekai," I thought as I looked at the holographic screen in front of me.
[Congratulations mortal, you have been chosen to transmigrate to another world. You are granted two gacha rolls.
Do you wish to use them now or later? If you choose "later," you will have a 5-year time limit to use them. Choose wisely.]
I didn't have to think about it much.
"I want to do both rolls now," I said instantly.
The screen vanished and was replaced by two new notifications.
[Congratulations, you have obtained - [Sacred Gear (Longinus): Canis Lycaon] - Do you wish to view the description?]
[Congratulations, you have obtained - [Passive Skill: CHUNBUMOON FUNDAMENTAL TECHNIQUE (Lvl 1)] - Do you wish to view the description?]
I didn't know whether to feel ecstatic about getting one of the strongest Longinus or terrified thinking I had just used up all the luck of my next life.
"Better not overthink it; worrying won't help," I thought, snapping out of the shock to read the descriptions.
The description of Canis Lycaon confirmed what I already knew from the lore: an Independent Avatar-type Sacred Gear shaped like a dog that transforms into a sword. Not just any sword, but Ame no Ohabari, the one that slew the fire god Hinokagutsuchi. That means cursed black and crimson flames, generating blades from shadows, and submerging into them. Absolute beast mode.
But what caught my attention was the second ability. The name sounded familiar...
[CHUNBUMOON FUNDAMENTAL TECHNIQUE] (Passive & Active)
Level: 1 EXP: 0.00%
Basic technique of Chunbumoon's Internal Ki (Spiritual) and External Ki (Physical) to develop, purify, and store Ki (the world's basic energy) within the Ki center. Allows the manipulator to freely use this power, strengthening the body and increasing your defensive power. After developing these techniques, humans are capable of surpassing human limits.
Passive Form (Cumulative Effects)
The Level 1 passive effects combine to grant permanent increases:
Stats: You obtain an increase of +20% in STR, +20% in DEX, and +20% in VIT. Additionally, +10% in INT and +10% in WIS.
Speed and Combat: Movement speed is increased by 5%. Attack power and speed for both bare hands and swords are increased by 10% in each case.
Recovery: The recovery rate for VIT and Stamina is increased by 10%.
Activation: Upon activating the skills, you obtain an initial boost of +2 to STR, VIT, DEX, and INT.
Active Form (Ki Skills)
By activating the technique, you temporarily access superior power:
Enhanced Stat Power: You obtain an additional increase of 30% in STR and 30% in DEX.
Accelerated Movement: Movement speed is dramatically increased by 50%.
Enhanced Combat Power: Attack power with swords and bare hands is increased by an additional 20%.
Ki Skill: Activation allows you to use the powerful Ki Strike.
Note: You will not be granted the ability to see your "Status," but you will be able to see the skill's progress.
Warning: Do not expect accelerated growth. This skill is the fusion of multiple martial techniques, so it will be extremely difficult to level up and has no system assistance for learning.
Of course! It's from the manhwa The Gamer. Although this version seems to be a complete fusion of all Chunbu techniques.
"I definitely spent the luck of this life and the next," I thought as I closed the window.
It's a broken skill. Even without the Sacred Gear, this would turn me into a monster. And it doesn't matter if the world I'm going to has magic energy or not; the passive boosts always work.
What do I care if I can't see my status or if it levels up slowly? The base stats are already incredible. A +20% to physical capabilities and +10% to mana, just for having the passive version, is something anyone would kill for.
[Do you wish to be sent to the new world now?]
I accepted without hesitation. Instantly, everything around me turned pitch black.

This is a fanfic I've had the idea for for a long time, but I'd never actually watched Fairy Tail enough to put it into practice. I'm only now starting to watch it; I'm on chapter 56 (I started two days ago).
I'm using Gemini to help me with the translation since English isn't my native language, so any mistakes you see would be greatly appreciated if you could let me know so I can correct them.
