Ever dreamt of becoming an anime character? Well of course most fans of this fantastic piece of art would wish this could happen. To be honest, they only wish they could become one because they find that they lack something. It may not mean much to other people. Although, to them it weighs on them until they find it hard to even live.

I also fall into this category. That's not to say I hate my life, but I desire something more than just being "normal" which may not even be the right way to describe it. A young man at the age 16, who's life is about to be burdened by the stress of final exams and preparing for college. That's me...

If only I could become an anime character in this world. It doesn't have to be a one-hit destroyer like Saitama, as long as I can become someone important. Isn't that what everyone wants? Well, it did happen and here's my story.

<One night>

It was quite the chilly night, spring had just begun so it was to be expected that it would still be quite cold. As per usual it was raining, the default setting in England. Luckily, I was safe in my humble abode.

My house isn't exactly the best. It has cracks in some parts of the wall, a hole in the ceiling from when there was a flood. Nevertheless, I have lived here for my whole life and I would not want to move anywhere else.

To occupy myself in this place I use nothing other than my gaming laptop, obviously it isn't the best for playing games, but I do what I can. The new Elden RIng had just come out and I was grinding the hell out of it. I'm surprised my computer didn't catch fire. After I got tired of playing it I decided to head to bed. Even though I was tired of playing games I whipped my phone out and read some manga.

Finding manga on websites that aren't filled to the brim with viruses and all that sort are hard to find. Unfortunately for me I clicked onto one of those websites and do you want to know what popped up? A roulette. It sparked my interest when I noticed that it said "Spin to become the character of your dreams!" That did sound interesting, but I still didn't want to end up clicking spin and it would download some malicious malware.

No matter what I did my phone would not turn off, nor would it allow me to shut off the current page I was on. I began to get quite frustrated. "Well if the bugger wants me to spin it then I will." I then rather forcefully tapped the spin button.

It spun at such a high speed that it was almost impossible to see any names. As it began to slow down I saw names like "Vaccine Man" and "Kon", no way would I want to be the blue Piccolo monster from OPM or the annoying plushie from Bleach. That would be horrible, no... devastating.

I could hear my heart beating in my ears, which goes to show just how nervous I was. If this was real, it would either make or break my life and all my current and even future relationships with the people I love and the countless idiots I know.

Finally, the wheel began to come to a stop. I felt sweat drip down from my forehead. In slight fear I closed my eyes. I heard quite the loud blow of one of those birthday horns, which indicated that it had finally landed on the character I was going to "Become." I begrudgingly opened my eyes to a surprising sight. In bright yellow text it said "CONGRATULATIONS YOU HAVE ACQUIRED:" followed by in bright pink.. "Marin Kitagawa"

I didn't know how to feel, yes it's better than becoming some horrific monster or some no-name side character, but I'm not even a girl and I'm expected to become a top notch beauty? Sigh, I quickly reassured myself that it was just some prank and that I would wake up the next day without having changed. That is what I hoped... but oh god was I was wrong.

<The Next Morning>

The rain from last night had cleared. The morning sun was very harsh today, despite the curtains being fully shut it still managed to force its way through. My bathroom-sized room overflowed with joyful light. My body felt a little numb, almost as if I hadn't moved in days which shouldn't be the case.

I looked over to my bedside table and looked at the time, it was 11:25. 'My parents will be out working then,' I thought. I got myself out of bed, but everything felt out of whack. I groggily walked towards the bathroom door, a unique heaviness making me feel unbalanced. Not only that, but long blonde hair fell above my eyes. Immediately I grew worried, my hair is supposed to be brown not blonde. I sped up in slight fear.

Slamming the door open, I presented myself in front of the mirror and my jaw dropped, anymore and it would have fallen off. Crystal-like pink eyes, glamorous eyelashes, bright blonde hair that fades into a creamy colour right above the waist and also hangs in front along with a body that many would die for.

"WHAT THE HELL! WHY DID I ACTUALLY BECOME MARIN KITAGAWA!" As much as I would have liked to stare at myself I needed to alert my parents. I just hoped that they would believe it was me.

I picked up my phone and texted my mum. 'Mum.. I'd like to tell you something. Please believe me!' I couldn't stop tapping my leg on the ground out of dread.

She quickly replied back 'Of course, what's wrong?'

I found it difficult to actually type what I was going to say, but I finally found the confidence to do so. 'Umm it might be difficult to hear, but I have become a girl..' I waited and waited in anticipation, but I was truly in shock when I saw her message me back.

'What are you talking about Marin? You always have been.' Confusion. Just confusion. I was always a girl? I checked through my phone and I saw them. There were pictures of Marin, no, of me. All the pictures had been changed. Wherever my original body was, Marin had been put in its place. Dear god, has reality changed? I was too in shock to think anymore. What the hell am I going to do now?
