Hiraiah Minawari, a well-known investor at her prime, is on her way to the convenience store for her usual random snacks to cure boredom when she was hit with a cliché accident scheme.
...
"What the---?" Coming back to her senses, Hiraiah felt indescribable. In a not-so-positive way. "No, no, this is not happening," she muttered in distaste.
Hiraiah knows what's happening, even though she's having a hard time believing it. Well, who would? Definitely not the rational Hiraiah who is realistic despite being an avid reader of fictional books.
"I did wish to experience transmigration, it's kinda my favorite category of novels. But I didn't mean that, world-hopping is exhausting! I haven't even splurged my self-self budget!" she cried inwardly. "My money is wasted, my investments are all trashed, and now I bet I have to do missions for what, a thousand worlds?"
...
This is my own original work. And yes, I'm inspired due to those addicting chinese wuxia novels and I just wanna read a transmigration au book according to what I want, so I'm making it.
Do a prayer ritual for me because I want to finish this book. Please vote, comment, and follow! Only if you wanna.

With the hunt for Bernie giving new purpose to Geoff's un-life, he and Naomi begin a quest to get back their cat. Battling skeleton pirates, climbing the sky ladder and facing off against the villain who took Bernie, Geoff is determined to find his purpose - or die a second time trying!
