Chapter 1: Prologue
"Yeah, yeah...I know, sensei, I'll try not to overwork myself," I sighed as I pressed the end call button on my phone and took my coat off, "You'd think she'd stop worrying after a while," I mused with a helpless chuckle before exiting the hallway and entering the living room.
I collapsed down onto the sofa as I looked down at my hands - the nails on my hand were already becoming sharper, even without me willing them to.
"So, it's coming, huh?" I whispered as I forced myself up. I wasn't physically tired - I don't think I've ever been physically tired since I've came to this world - but rather mentally tired. An entire day of school and work, which was made even worse by the fact that the bar section of the cafe was pretty full because it was a Friday today. Start of the weekend and all that, I guess.
I walked toward my room and started to take off my work clothes and replacing them with sweatpants and a hoodie. I went to the bathroom and washed my face over before looking at myself in the mirror.
Silver-grey eyes looked back at me and I could see the pupil slowly stretching vertically, even more so than they usually were, with a snake-like slit being the end goal. I ruffled my silver-ish white hair before closing my eyes and taking a few deep breaths:
It's all going to be fine.
I repeated this mantra over and over again as I walked back to the hallway and put on some trainers.
What was I doing? I'm going to the train station so I can get a train to the middle of no where. Why would I do that? Because my name's Haru Kobayashi, and I'm a werewolf. A full-blown humanoid wolfman who turns into a gigantic beast on a full-moon, and guess what?
It's a full moon tonight.
Live used to be so simply back in my old world. No anime characters...no superpowers...But no matter what I think, it's my new reality. Though waking up and in a new body at that - it was a real shock, huh?

~2 weeks ago~
I felt my eyes crack open, only to be met by the blinding sunlight coming in through my window. Lifting a hand to cover my eyes, I groaned as I sat up from my position...on the sofa? Did I fall asleep on the sofa again?
Rubbing my eyes a little, I looked around to find myself in a completely foreign place.
"What...!" I asked but what I heard come from my mouth wasn't English, "What the hell?!" I once again spoke in a foreign language...but I could understand it? What the fuck is happening here? Why am I speaking what sounds like Japanese? How can I understand it? I never took Japanese lessons and I know you sure as hell can't learn Japanese from watching anime. Only delusional weebs think that.
I also noticed that my voice was different overall, as well. It was deeper; smoother. I looked down at something that caught my eyes and saw that other than my voice, my body seemed to be different as well.
The usually flabby body I was used to...was gone. Replacing it was a body rippling with lean and compact muscle. Like a professional swimmers body or an Olympic gymnast.
I seemed to be completely naked other than one thing - an envelope taped to my chest.
Taking the envelope off of my chest, I looked at the writing on it - also seemingly Japanese - and saw that I could understand it completely as well. It said 'Please Open~!', so I did. What I saw made me nearly pop a vein.
[Hello, Lewis! Or should I call you your new name, Haru? Ah! I should probably call you Kobayashi-san, right? You are in Japan, after all. Honorifics are a serious deal in that place - If you don't want to get on anyone's nerves, you better remember that!
Well, Haru, I gotta be straight with you - you died. Straight-up croaked in the middle of the night. You probably should've listened to your sister and stopped snacking on those fat and salt filled snacks, huh? Well, no matter because you've got a new lease on life. Not your old one, of course, but a new one I made for you.
You may be wondering 'Who's this wonderful omnipotent being who so graciously gave me a new life?' and 'I'm aware of your benevolence, O'Mighty Being but why did you help me?'. Let me answer those for you. I'm Chaos, the Embodiment of, well, Chaos, if you hadn't guessed it already. And why did I help you? Because I was bored. You weren't the only one either - I helped millions of people at the same time as you. I am omnipotent, after all. You see, I send people to specific worlds or amalgam worlds and just record what they do before watching it over - they're like my own personal anime. You're part of the latter, by the way. I sent you to a world made up of quite a lot of anime.
If you can get past the existential crisis you might be having, you might actually find yourself feeling excited. 'What kind of cheat did I get?' 'Can I have a harem?' 'Are lolis legal in this world?!' All very important questions, I'll give you that. So, let me go over the quick stuff:
You got a cheat but you some might call it a curse - you're a werewolf now, Haru! Keep a look out for the next full-moon. You can get a harem if you successfully juggle a bunch of women, though I did give you an advantageous appearance, so go get'em tiger--or should I say wolf? Doggy?--Whatever. The last question is unanswerable - I don't want the God FBI kicking my door down, you know?
Huh...have I missed anything? You're in an amalgam world, your new name is Haru Kobayashi, your a very powerful werewolf, uhhh...oh yeah! You have to go to school and all that but you also have a part-time job, you lazy bum! I'm not paying for your rent! Oh, and I did spawn in a few specific helpers for you. They should get to you house in a little while.
So, uh, good luck, I guess? Give me a good show to watch. Ha. A handsome werewolf wooing a ton of girls and fighting off anyone who tries to stop him...That's just gotta be fun, right?
Anyway, later, Haru~
Yours truly, Chaos~]
"What...the...fuck...?" I absentmindedly asked. Was I drugged by some weird chunni or something? But all of this situation, unfortunately, points towards this letter being the correct thing, "Goddammit," I muttered before standing up.
It was a bit weird because I was taller than I was used to but I got used to it stunningly quickly. Too quickly.
It was then that I felt the strength - the utter power - flowing through my body. I felt like I could tear apart a tank and still have energy to fight a war. Then came a high-pitched sound, that cut right through my ears, causing me to lift my hands to cover them. For a few seconds, I could hear everything, smell everything, feel every little vibration in the air and in the ground...when I opened my eyes I was struck frozen solid by the clarity of my vision.
I could see the minute dust particles floating through the air with so much clarity that it was like I was standing next to it. I felt like all my life, I'd been living my live through the lens of a broken camera that only saw colors at a fraction of their brightness and sharpness and now...I was seeing everything in ultra-HD.
But after a few seconds, the senses and power of my body came completely under my control.
Even then, I quickly rushed around the apartment I was in, trying to find a mirror. I found one in the bathroom and was able to look over my appearance.
I was stunningly handsome. Silver-ish white hair, metallic silver-grey eyes, sharp and masculine features...I was a 10 out of 10 and no one could refute it. But the weirdest thing? I looked like an anime character. I didn't look 'real'. Now that I looked around, everything looked like it was from an anime--or rather, everything looked like it was hand drawn. Not that it looked bad but it was...shocking. Massively so.
My appearance kind of reminded me of Gaku Yaotome from Idolish7. Though I did seem a few centimeters taller. Maybe an inch or two.
But that's not important--I look like a goddamn Idol.
*Ding Dong Ding...Ding Ding Ding!*
Turning to the door, I looked out of the bathroom and down the hallway and at the door for my apartment. Was this one of the helpers coming? Looking down I saw my everything just dangling in mid-air. Looking around I grabbed a particularly big towel to cover my lower-half and the third leg just dangling there before rushing to the door.
Opening it and hiding my body behind the door, I went to greet the person at the door and ask them to wait a minute...but I was shocked solid.
A brunette with enchanting green eyes was looking straight at me.
"Hm?" she mused with a hand to his chin, "You're definitely as handsome as Chaos told me...well, that's a nice benefit. I never got to see you through the screen, did I?" she asked with a smile that I saw as her trademark smile, "Are you going to let me in? Or are you going to force little ol' me to fend for myself out here?" she teased and all I could do is get out one word...
"Monika...?"
