Unlike in that story though, here he's a teenager.

Tigger warning: GORE

Satoru was walking to his table during lunch in school one day when he tripped, falling face first to the floor. He instinctively closed his eyes and braced for the inevitable impact.

He soon heard a loud thump and a ripping sound. His head hurt but he barely even noticed it as he was focusing on something very different.
The overwhelming burning sensation caused by the pain rapidly spreading through his neck, that is. He screams out in agony.
'It's hurts!, It hurts! It's hot! Make it stop!'

[Extra skill Pain resistance acquired.]

[Extra skill Heat resistance acquired.]

Soon he was able to feel the cold thing inside. He barley registered the screams of horror from his classmates as he felt something sticky pour over his hand. He slowly opened his eyes to see a pool of red liquid slowly growing under him. 'Is that... Blood?!'

He flipped his whole body to se the roof, ignoring the shards of what must be porcelain digging into his back and with his mind clouded by pain pulled out the thing in his neck.
'Why am I bleeding, why can't it stop?'
He looked at it and saw through the blood that was slowly dripping from his hand what he was holding.
It was his fork.

[Requesting body that does not require blood.]

He couldn't ignore the persistent screams anymore and mubled "Shut up..", not that anyone could hear it due to the sheer chaos.

[Common skill Noice cancelation acquired.]

He looked up, the the faces of his horrified friends etching themselves deep into his mind.
"I guess you are what you eat." he chuckled to his friends confusion. "Dead", he smiled painfully as his vision started to blur due to the tears in his eyes.

[Unique skill Predator acquired.]

He started coughing heavily, blood shooting out of his mouth every time. He was soon drowning in his own blood as it poured back in through his nose.
'Can't breathe'

[Requesting body that does not require breathing.]

He tried to sit up so that he wouldn't drown, but was unable to move whatsoever.
'I wish I were stronger... I don't wanna die. If only I could slow down time.'

[Common skill Strength enhancement acquired.]

[Common skill Thought acceleration acquired.]

He saw the blurry silhouettes of his friends backing away slowly.
'I can't even blame them, I must look horrifying with all this blood.

[Unique skill Merciful acquired.]

'I miss mom... and dad.., I wish they were here to comfort me...'
He felt his life flash before his eyes as his vision slowly turned dark. 'Why...?'
'Can't someone at least be here to comfort me?... I guess you miss them the most when you know you won't meet them again...'

[Unique skill Guiding guardian acquired.]

The pain faded away as he lost consciousness.

Satoru Pov:

I wake up, but I can't see anything I feel the chilly wind and the hard... rocks?
What is going on here?

I can't feel my arms or legs, hell I can't even feel my torso. It's as if I'm just living on as a disembodied head.
But, I can't open my eyes and I can't smell or hear at all.
I try to remember what happened.
Okay... so I tripped and accidentally stabbed my fork through my throat.
Anyway I should be in a hospital, but I'm clearly not, so where the hell am I?

I try to move, even though it probably won't do anything since heads can't really move on their own, but it does. I can stretch out... whatever it is I'm moving and pull myself forward.
So... I'm not a head then.

'Aghhh! As if I'm just gonna accept this shit! If someone doesn't tell me what the hell is going on I'm gonna flip out!' I try to shout, but no nice comes out.

{You have been reincarnated.} A monotone voice says, startling me and making me literally jump due to shook.

'Damn I can jump high.. that was a lot easier than pulling myself forward.
Anyway, who the hell was that?!'

{I am your Unique skill Guiding guardian.}

'... you're what now?'

{I am your Unique skill Guiding guardian.}

'Yeah, I heard that the first time, now stop messing with me.'

{I am your Unique skill Guiding guardian.}

'Can you even say anything else?'

{I am capable of saying everything that is necessary.}

'... Why do you sound so dead inside?'

{I am technically not alive, I am a part of you. I am your Unique skill Guiding guardian.}

'What are you, a fucking robot?'

{My purpose is to guide you, it is not sexual. I am also not a robot. I am your-}

'I know.' I interrupt, tired of hearing the same thing over and over again.
Did it seriously interpret it literally? I sigh, or... well try to, apparently I can't even sigh anymore.
'Where am I?'

{You are in a cave.}

'Why am I in a fucking cave?'

{It is a somewhat regular cave, not a fucking cave.}
