"What the heck, man?! Why did we have someone who didn't max their hp in our party? We lost because of him!"
I yell at my monitor, which doesn't have a mic.
"Shit!"
I bang on the keyboard, showing my frustration.
I'm Okuma Sho, an MMORPG gamer and a NEET. Right now, I'm playing Yolishino, an old-school MMORPG. This game allows you to customize your skills with a point system.
This game also has a dungeon mode, which allows you to party with others and conquest dungeons together. All dungeons require you to be in a party with at least five players.
Sadly, the tank in my party didn't max their hp! This caused us to lose the dungeon, which is my first time losing one today. I'm so angry! Why be a tank if you're not going to max your hp?!
Forget it, let's hope the next party isn't dumb like that person.
Since the game is old, not a lot of players play it, causing the dungeon finder to take a minimum of ten minutes to find you a party.
I was about to start finding me a party when my door bust open. My mother walks in.
"Sho! You have been inside this house for the past year! Today is finally the day that you are going to leave this house."
"Huh? Do I have to? There no point..."
"No complaints! Take this list and go into town to get these groceries."
"Ugh... Fine."
I reluctantly grab the list from my mother.
"Good. Now go!"
She hands me money and then pushes me out of the house. Once I was outside, she waves to me and locks the door behind me.
'Why do I have to do this? Ugh! Today is a shitty day!'
I start to walk in the direction of town sluggishly.
Our house is a bit far from town. I don't know the reason for this, but I didn't care as long as I could play my games.
About halfway, I start to hear a buzzing sound.
"What is that? It's so annoying!"
I look around but saw nothing. I continue to walk, trying to ignore the sound.
...
Five minutes pass, but the buzzing is still here, and it has gotten louder! I shout out into the air.
Ugh! Please put me out of my misery.
I continue to walk when I notice a massive shadow under me. The shape of the shadow kind of looks like a plane... Wait, it is a plane!
The shadow is getting larger while the buzzing is getting louder. I finally look up to see a plane falling from the sky. It looks to be heading straight for me.
"Huh?!"
I stall and look at the plane. Then I realized what is happening. I start to run out of its way when I determine that there is no escape. I stop and resume to look at the incoming plane.
"Guess this is it..."
I came to terms with my death. There is no way to dodge this plane. Even if I avoid it, the impact of it would surely kill me.
I watch as the plane crashes down.
Boom!
...
"Huh?!"
I instantly rise and look around.
"Where am I?"
All I see is darkness. I can't even tell what I'm sitting on. Wait, am I sitting on? I don't know anymore.
I stare at the darkness.
"Well, now what?"
After saying this, white texts suddenly appears.
"Welcome, Sho."
This freaks me out.
"Huh?! Who are you, and how do you know my name?!"
"I have no name. My only existence is to determine those who perish fates. It is now your turn to be judge upon."
He is going to judge my fate? What does that mean?
"You have died at an early age; therefore, you will be reincarnated into a new world as a baby. You will also get some wishes; however, the number of wishes you get will be determined base on your last life."
I'm going to be reincarnated into a new world? I'm also getting wishes? What's happening?! I'm not an anime fan, but this is precisely what an anime would have in it.
"Judging from your past life... You will not get a wish. You'll be put in another world with only the memories of your previous life."
Huh? Oh, come on! Just because I was a NEET I get no powers going to this new world? That's kind of lame. Oh, well. I can't really argue with a god...
"Understand? Good. You will be transported shortly."
The white text disappears. As I wait in the darkness, I thought about my wish. Even though it seems odd, this will allow me to make my new life NEETless. I'll have previously knowledge that should let me get a ledge up at the start of my new life.
Plus, I'll be conscious as a baby... Hopefully.
Suddenly, my body starts shaking. 'What's going on?!'
Then, the darkness around me starts to light up. Voices started talking too.
"Three... Two... One... Go!"
Poof! My vision blurs. I see a tall man holding me.
"Congratulations! It's a boy!"
Huh? Oh, is this the birthing process? Never seen it before. I try to look around, but it is hard to move my head.
"Here you go."
The man, who I guess is the doctor, moves me to someone else hands. Guess this is my mother. She looks at me with a huge smile.
"Aww... He's so cute! Look, honey! What should we call him?"
Another man appears. He puts his hands out to me.
"Your right, he is cute. Hmm... I want him to have a great future, so why not Sho?"
"I like that! Nii Sho. Hehe! I love the name."
It seems like a lovely family, and I get to keep my previous name. Maybe this new life will be fun and better than my last?
I smile.
"Look! He's smiling! So cute!"
Hehe... Yeah, this is going to be a good new life.
