I once thought that I was on the end of my line, I have lost everything. I stood there at the edge of a skyscraper wishing this nightmare to be over "If there's a God watching me then I give my life to you" I said to the heavens until a hologram that says:
"Hello, are you dissatisfied with your life? How about going to another world?"
with a [Yes] or [No] at the bottom appeared...
I thought I was finally losing my mind and so I went along and pressed "Yes" for the sake of entertainment since there's nothing much for me to do right? I lost everything and probably my head as well, I don't even care at this point.
As soon as I pressed that green "Yes" my mind suddenly went blank, then I woke up to a dark room. I ponder on where I am but then a voice suddenly called me in an imposing yet gentle voice "Hello Ryouto Sasaki, I was the one that sent you that invitation..." and he went on to talk about a place called "Prandoria". By the time he finished talking to me about this world he asked "Do you want to redo your life?" while maintaining his imposing yet gentle voice.
'Hold on, God was real?! I thought
he was only a myth! Did he actually hear my call?! Am I dead? I'm dead right? There's no way God could've heard my call...' my head went on with a storm of questions without listening to most of what he said as I was extremely confused of my current situation, one moment I was about to kill myself and now I'm in a place talking to God?!
"No, I am not your "God" I'm the Creator of THIS universe but not your universe, and yes I can read your mind." he replied as he read my mind. I was stunned from this as so many questions went through my head, "Stop with the questions, all you have to do is answer this question: Do you or do you not want to have this second life?" he answered in an irritated tone.
I thought of it for a second... then recalled all my memories in Earth and how little hope I had left in that life, so I answered "I want to have another chance...". My mind once again went blank before I opened my eyes and saw the sunlight...
I woke up and realized that I was sleeping on a park bench, I fixed myself to a sitting position before a flood of information and memories hit me and made my head feel as if it is a mush that was sent to a blender at max power for 30 minutes and mulled in a grindstone for a day.
I barely managed to keep myself conscious because I didn't want to fall asleep a third time. My mind throbbed for a good 5 minutes before I was able to make any thoughts without feeling the need to vomit, 'Uugghh so that is what it feels like to have a USB plugged into your brain, I hope I'll never feel that again' I said in my mind as I massaged my aching head.
My head started to feel better after massaging it and I said to myself 'Since I've been given another chance, I might as well live my life to the fullest'.
I stood up and did one of the features the "Creator" explained to me as I said "Stat card" then out of nowhere a card flew up in front of me and shocked me for a moment but conveniently hovered at a height where I can read it without touching. I looked at my stats, it said that I had 50 Hp, 50 Mana as well as 50 Stamina 'I guess that Mana is mental and Stamina is physical energy?'. My base stats were all... 5 'WTF?! Why are my stats so weak?!' I forcefully commented on my card and looked again to see if there were any mistakes then noticed a section on the bottom left that said "Unused exp points: 100", 'Oh, so that what it was' I sighed in relief.
Before using my points I checked my card for any other options, upon my inspection I discovered that in there's five main stats which were:
