One Punch Man. A Japanese manga and anime series that tells the story of Saitama, a so-called hero for fun who became so powerful that he can defeat any enemy with just one punch. But, despite his otherworldly power, Saitama feels empty and unsatisfied because he no longer has anyone or anything that can really test his abilities. He lives a normal life, despite the monsters, while also being on the lookout to find a worthy opponent to regain his passion for being a hero.

Throughout the story, the bald hero meets both villains and heroes, with one of those heroes being his disciple, a cyborg by the name of Genos. The series is known for its humor, stunning animation, epic fight scenes, and satirical take on the superhero genre. At least, these are the reasons why I love the show. But the reason why I love it so much is because of the main character himself, the one and only Saitama. If I had one chance to meet an animated character from my favorite series, it would undoubtedly be him.

So, tell me why. Why on God's green earth am I in the body of the strongest hero in the bloody universe?!

At first, she didn't see an actual difference in her appearance because she had just woken up to go to the bathroom first thing in the morning and didn't look in the mirror at first, but she did notice it when she looked up after washing her hands. Of course, her first reaction was to scream absolute bloody murder.

After slightly calming herself down and returning to the mirror, Lucy inspected herself more closely. "What... what's happening? How... how can this be?" Lucy whispered in disbelief, her eyes widening in shock at seeing her reflection. The expression on her face shifts from disbelief to sheer panic. She knew this face even if he was transformed into a woman; she knew this face all too well.

Oh god, Lucy could feel the dread washing over her as she came to a sudden realization. Hesitantly, she walked out into the hallway and took in the tiny, one-bedroom . The apartment she was currently in obviously only housed one person, and that was her. Slowly, she walked to the coffee table and, with trembling hands, picked up the TV remote. Once flipped on, what greeted her was a news broadcast recapping the previous day's events. Apparently, there was a giant that had destroyed 90% of both City-B and City-D. It made its way through City-D before heading towards City-B, where his rampage continued before being ultimately taken down by the 5th-ranked S-Class hero, King.

With shaking knees, Lucy slowly dropped onto the couch, dropping the remote on the cushion next to her as she kept her eyes focused on the screen. Despite that, the sound coming from the anchor woman talking was nothing but white noise to her now.

Am I here? Lucy shook her head rapidly at that. No, this is just a crazy dream. It must be, right?

With uncertain resolve, Lucy slapped herself across the face. Nothing happened.
