It's Friday noon, the sun is out and warm. However, our protagonist Evan is having none of it, because he has been stuck on a research paper for his Economy Class in his university titled " Why exporting Crabs might be the Answer to save our Declining Economy ". Yes, that sounds dumb but the professor was eager to hear about that, but alas Evan was struggling to write something. So he went over to the couch in his apartment and slept.
====[ Evan's POV ]====
It's already 2 pm. My friends said that they're going to go to the Frat Party tonight and invited me, but I don't really wanna go because this goddamn research paper is so damn hard to write because I can't focus for some reason, I'm probably just tired though, but seeing Professor Smith get so excited to see what I came up with on my research paper, I just can't help but to push myself because I don't want him to be disappointed in me. *sigh* I should probably just take a nap
I woke up with the strange sense that my surroundings weren't real
⟨ Huh, am I dreaming? ⟩
As I thought about that I saw my Father scolding Child Me
⟨ Yup, I'm dreaming ⟩
So the dream is about THAT day huh, in the dream my Father told me
" Why aren't you getting straight A's at school!? I didn't raise you to be an embarrassment to our Family! How else are you supposed to succeed the Family Conglomerate!? Do you actually want our Family, MY Family to be ruined!? Answer me!! "
" I sincerely apologise oh Esteemed Father for my misbehaviour and I pledge that I shall do my best in improving " I sheepishly replied.
" Well your "best" isn't enough to satisfy me ".
With that, my Father coldly told me. ugh, I hate that day. I don't want to sleep anymore, let's wake up. For real this time.
As I woke up for real, I realized that I wasn't in my apartment, rather I am currently inside an empty, pure white space with nobody else in it except me and an obnoxious, large spin wheel like in those game shows with lights and stuff
⟨ Am I dreaming again? is this Inc*ption? ⟩.
I try to pinch myself ⟨ Ouch, this is definitely real, am I dead? What's going on? Where is this place? Is this the afterlife? Oh well, even if I'm dead my Family won't worry too much, because if I'm out of the picture, my little brother is definitely succeeding the Conglomerate. After all, he just proposed a new business venture so successful that he singlehandedly managed to get the majority of shipping companies in the world under the Conglomerate's wings, producing more capital income than several countries in the world. How unfair. ⟩
So, to release my stress, I directed my anger at the spin wheel and spun it powerfully, It spun without problem and after a moment it landed on one of the options, Option 7
⟨ Hell yeah! my lucky number is 7! ⟩
And then, an electronic jingle rang out in the room and a voice can be heard saying
" Race selection complete, race selected is <
⟨ Huh? what do you mean by reincarnation? Is this some sort of webnovel or something?? I'm confused! Did I really die!? My research paper isn't complete yet and professor Smith hadn't seen it yet! Wait a minute!!! ⟩
As I called out to nobody in particular, my consciousness slipped and I passed out...
