"I really want to pilot a Gundam, and I want to build my own Gunpla too."

Xiao Shan was alone at home, sitting in front of his computer watching the Gundam SEED anime.

He was nearing forty, with a wife, a child, and his parents were still alive. The pressure of life was immense.

He had no time for games that required intense grinding. He could only secretly watch anime, and in his free time, he could only play mobile games and read novels.

(I can't do that in front of the kids. I have to act like a parent, so I have to sacrifice my hobbies.)

He sighed as he watched the ending of the SEED anime.

"Ah, my youth.

Sigh, I used to think Lacus was so cute. I really wanted to marry her.

Now, damn it, she seems so calculating. I feel like I absolutely couldn't handle someone like her without some special ability.

But then again, a young girl in a war environment, her father dead, no home. How could she survive without some cunning and wisdom?"

"I prefer characters like Miriallia Haw and Murrue Ramius. One is young and considerate, the other is gentle and... well, great."

Xiao Shan repeated this silently three times in his heart.

"I shouldn't think about this. I already have a wife and child, how can I still think about this?"

"I shouldn't think about this...

"Shouldn't...

He then continued to self-hypnotize.

"My wife isn't gentle and is a bit of a tomboy, but at least she's not a shrew.

She's also reasonable, and I get 200 [currency unit] in allowance each month. I should be content."

(Some people might call this cowardly, but it's not cowardice. It's respect, it's self-preservation, understand?

If I say the wrong thing or blurt something out in my sleep one day, you'll be in trouble.

My age is not what it used to be, so it's better to play it safe.)

He continued to self-hypnotize, because safety first!

"Sigh, watching this, I'm getting sleepy. My stamina is failing. I should take a nap. Age is catching up to me."

Xiao Shan turned off the computer, lay down on the bed, and began his middle-aged afternoon nap.

"Thor, Thor, Thor, wake up! We're going to be late!

How long are you going to sleep? We're going to be late for class, and Kira is waiting for us to go together!"

Xiao Shan groggily rubbed his eyes with his own hands, thinking to himself.

"Hmm~, did I not turn off my computer? Impossible? I clearly remember shutting it down?

But this sound quality is really good, is it a high-fidelity speaker?

My computer speakers aren't this good, are they?"

Xiao Shan groggily opened his eyes and saw a young girl in front of him calling out to him. Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, his heart raced.

[Who is this girl? Where am I? Why am I here?]

Xiao Shan hurriedly pinched his face hard. "Ouch! It hurts!"

Then he looked at his current pair of unfamiliar, delicate, and slender hands. The calluses on his original large hands were all gone.

He thought to himself, [Holy crap, what the hell, did I transmigrate? No way, I don't meet the conditions. I'm not a three-nothing: no partner, no house, no wife, no parents.]

[It's over. I don't know if I'll ever see my wife again. Mom and Dad, your son is unfilial. I can't take care of you in your old age or send you off.]

[No, now is not the time to think about these problems. I should first deal with the current situation.

I've read so many transmigration novels, I need to handle this carefully. I absolutely cannot reveal that I'm a transmigrator.

I wonder if this is a Main God Space or a simple transmigration?

Will I be erased if I reveal my identity?

Even if I can survive, will I be beaten to death by my original parents? Will I be taken by the relevant authorities to be dissected?

Even if I'm not dissected, being treated as a lunatic and locked up in a mental hospital wouldn't be good either.

I almost messed up. Looking at the furniture here, it must be a modern world.

If I don't fool them, even my life will be in trouble. I'll definitely die.]

Xiao Shan pretended to be completely weak and blurted out.

"Miri, can you ask for leave for me today?

I'm not feeling well. I have a bit of a headache. I think I might have caught a cold."

Miri looked surprised and asked.

"Thor, how did you suddenly catch a cold? You were fine yesterday! Are you just being lazy and don't want to go to school?"

He put on a weak act and said coquettishly, "Miriallia, I really don't feel well, I feel dizzy.

I have no strength at all, so just give me one day off, just one day. I'll definitely go to class properly tomorrow, please help me, okay?"

Miriallia pushed her hair back and touched Xiao Shan's forehead at point-blank range.

Xiao Shan's face immediately turned bright red, and his head temperature rose by a few tenths of a degree.

Miriallia found that Xiao Shan's forehead was indeed a little warmer than hers, and then said.

"Sigh, okay Thor, you are indeed a little feverish.

Then rest well at home, I'll head to class first.

There's food in the fridge, remember to heat it up yourself."

Miriallia kissed me on the cheek and left in a hurry.

Damn, it's the first time a girl other than my wife has kissed me, so exciting. But if my wife finds out, she'll probably beat me half to death.

*What, how do I know her name? It seems this body still has residual memories, a good start.

And Kira, his name is similar to the protagonist of SEED, that's good.

I won't think about it for now, let's see what's in this house.

Let's confirm my identity and surroundings first, I don't know how much of this unreliable residual memory is left.*

"Main God, System, Golden Finger, Status Panel," Xiao Shan called out for a long time, but there was no reaction.

Depressed, it seems I have nothing. Is this a hellish start?

To transmigrate without anything, isn't this just playing games? One step closer to death.

Sigh, I should look for useful identity information.

Xiao Shan immediately got up and started rummaging through boxes and cabinets, searching for various items, and found his schoolbag.

Opening the books, they were all in Japanese, but he could understand them all.

Looking at the name on the student ID, Thor Klune, and the photo on the desk, there was the current him and that girl, plus one guy.

He remembered all their names: Miriallia Haw, Kira Yamato.

He suddenly felt his body go limp and collapsed onto the chair. This was truly the world of Gundam SEED.

He had just finished watching the anime and transmigrated, possessing a short-lived supporting character who was about to die. It's so difficult, so difficult.

Space warfare is a high-risk environment, with no safe places. One wrong move and you're dead.

Heliopolis was destroyed, and there's nowhere for you to hide in space.

It's fortunate, at least I know the plot. As long as I get on the Archangel and stay put, it should be safe, it's the unsinkable ship after all.

But that's not right. With me, a transmigrator, can the plot still proceed as originally planned?

If I say the wrong thing and mess up the plot, Kira won't grow up and won't be able to defeat Athrun;

If Thor doesn't die, Kira Yamato can't fight Athrun evenly and self-destruct, then he won't get the Freedom's five-colored cannon;

Without Freedom and Justice, they won't be able to defeat the final boss Cruze, nor destroy Genesis, then it's all for naught.

Xiao Shan said with a bitter smile, "I don't want to sacrifice myself for the sake of the world. I don't know what happens if I die.

But according to the novels, with no Main God, Golden Finger, System, or Status Panel now, it's highly likely that death means everything is truly over."
