Sorry if this is a weird question. I’m bored and randomly thought about reincarnation and started wondering, thought this would be a fun question. 😉
Rules:
-
All your current memory is instantly transferred when you fall asleep one night (you don’t get any prior knowledge of this so you won’t be able to make any preparations), then when you wake up, you are in the body of a random North Korean kid living in Pyongyang somewhere between age 10 and 14 and matching your gender assigned to your original body at birth (I’m sorry, I know this would be a struggle for those that don’t identify with their gender assigned at birth, but it’s part of the challenges of this hypothetical)
-
All psychological health conditions are also transferred (unfortunately)
-
Your new host body would not have any physical disabilities and is mostly healthy (sort of)
-
You don’t have any of your host body’s original memories, they’re gone. (Edit: You retain any language that your host body’s original consciousness have learned, but no memories) Their consciousness was overwritten by your consciousness’s arrival and they, unfortunately, died. That consciousness wouldn’t know or feel anything, it just vanishes, poof.
-
The person who was originally you in your old body, would immediately die during sleep, at the moment of the consciousness transfer occuring. Doctors could not find a cause of death, and its marked as “Unknown Cause of Death”. No foul play would be found, no one would ever get falsely suspected by authorities of murdering you.
So how do you survive?
How do you plan your escape, or are you even gonna try?

I’d probably just kill myself. But if I did manage to get out somehow, at least I would get another chance at being 14 again.
I don’t have an answer for this, but I love to imagine that these types of threads are posted by novelists trying to clear up any plot holes in their upcoming stories.
Naw, I’m trying to have better dream scenarios so I don’t end up in a weird zombie apocalypse scenario a few nights ago.
Like, maybe running across a border is more of a fun dream, terrifying, but at least its not zombies. Think of it as a VR First Person Game, but you’re dreaming. 😅
i would die
All your current memory is instantly transferred
So, you are a normal Korean person, but lacking all the knowlege of how to behave in the culture where you live.
You are getting strong conflicts with normal people and with the law every day. Very soon nobody will give you a chance anymore.
Conclusion: you cannot survive.
If you were full adult, sure. But at 10 years of age? You’ve got time.
There are tons of Do’s and Don’ts even for 10 year olds. And Asian cultures are not very forgiving.
Yes, but at the same time they’re not going to kick you out. You’ll be in trouble for quite a while, but you’ll survive and pick it up. They’ll probably get a priest to exorcise you a few times.
they’re not going to kick you out
Why not?
Asian cultures are not very forgiving of parents kicking out their 10 yr old kids
I’ve seen Pokémon and they prove you wrong.
Wrong country :)
Join the army, get sent to Ukraine, frag the Russikiy overseer and surrender to somebody wearing blue and yellow. Learn the taste of food or die trying.
To my knowledge, there’s no evidence to suggest child soldiers being sent in. But you could do the classic, “Yes I’m eighteen” as your voice cracks. I’m sure there’s a greater chance than most other nations of it sliding through.
Make sure you gain a shitload of intel before making your move. It would be far more valuable than anything you could manage with a gun at that age, this making a massive impact.
> join north korean army > hopes to be sent to ukraine > gets sent to work with infrastructure within nope korea > have to dig with shovels and pickaxes > literal backbreaking labor > cannot slack or officer will whip my ass > 100g of rations for the day > cannot complain or officer will steal it
I’d just commit sudoku
Realistically? I probably wouldn’t. And neither would you.
I’d be chillin lmao. Maybe move to the countryside and work a farm if I could. Tf do you think the DPRK is like? If everyone was dying all the time or slaves there would not be much of a country. You can visit you know, as long as you aren’t a citizen of the country who annihilated them for thinking differently.
Wow, I’ve never seen a North Korea apologist before. This is honestly pretty interesting.
