What is this? A dark void fills my view... Is this what death feels like? Everything... Everything is black... Wait... Does that mean I am black? That sounded racist... I mean... Black symbolizes emptiness or something, right? Or wait... Doesn't black symbolize evil? I forgot... It feels like I'm losing memories... Or brain cells... One of the two... But that doesn't change the fact that I'm losing something... Or wait... Maybe I'm losing a body... Or wait... Maybe everything is black because I'm seeing everything from the point of view of my spirit... And my insides don't receive much light so all I can see is black... I mean darkness... Anyways... The thing is... How am I able to see from the point of view of my spirit? Do spirits even have eyes? Is there anything like a spirit in the first place? Was I ever alive in the first place? Did I ever get to this world in the first place? What if I got drunk and died in the real world and this was just a dream I had because I was drunk? And what if I am not really dead but I'm dreaming... I wonder why I didn't think of it as a dream and accept it as me getting a chance at getting reincarnated... I wonder why I am thinking all of this in the first place... Wait... I think I'm remembering something... Ah!! I get it!! I remember my mom once telling me that you can't feel any pain in your dreams... I just have to pi---
Wait... I have no arms.........
Well... That's certainly a problem... Maybe if it's my imagination, I can try to force out an arm...
Wait... What would I even pinch? I don't think I have a body either... Do I have to make everything up by myself?! GAWD!! I AM TOO LAZY TO DO THAT!! EVEN IF I'M DYING, I WON'T DO THAT!!
Wait... Am I even dying in the first place?
I still don't know whether this is a dream or not...
Wait... I remember something... My childhood friend once told me that you can read nothing if you're dreaming... I just have to try to re---
That's not gonna work, is it?
Wait... I feel like I've gotten a body... I feel better... And I feel like my chest is heavier so I'm in the body of the character...
I wonder what this place is...
Wait... The darkness is fading away...
Is that my partner? My only friend...
Wait... I have a lot of friends... It's not like I'm lonely or anything... Maybe I'm thinking of her in my final moments because she's the one who helped me make the game...
----Ah... You're pitiful...
What the----
----How about we make it so that the great mage attacks the main character at first?
Ah... She's such a masochist...
---You goddamn masochist...
Wait... I didn't say that... Or to be specific, I had no control over what I said...
----Come on!! People like this sort of stuff...
---But acid?! Seriously?!
---- It's not like normal people will feel anything... And let's let her have the water attribute so that she can let them out of the pain... And then they'll see her as a goddess...
---Come on!! Humans aren't that stupid... No one would think of her as a goddess... Only the stupidest human would think of her as a goddess...
Ah... Thank God I still had some brain cells back then... Keep it up me!! You can do it!!
----What if they do?
---No one would!! Not even for a moment...
----Well... How about you keep it as a secret feature? Like you'll have a chance to meet the grate mage in a forest if you're training at the forest in that section at the same time that she would...
---Why would the ancient magus be in a forest?
----To train of course...
This feels like an important memory... Why would I forget it?
---I won't do it... The ancient magus is an honorable member of the country... I won't make it so that she would be in a forest...
----Oh wait... I just got a text... The pizza's here...
---You ordered Pizza?
----Yeah... You want some?
---Why would I not want some?
----How about you keep this feature in the game and in return I'll give you a bit of the pizza...
---Half and I'll only keep the----
----I'll give you booze too... It's imported... And... Apparently 25 years old... And... Guess the pizza toppings... Chicken and corn with some paneer slices...
---Fine!! I'll do it!!
Hah... Now I know why I forgot about this memory... I'm ashamed of myself for being bought off by just some booze and pizza... Like... How cheap can I get?! CURSE YOU ME!! CURSE YOU PARTNER!! CURSE YOU COMPUTER FOR WORKING THAT DAY!! CURSE YOU DELIVERY GUY FOR DELIVERING THAT PIZZA AT THAT TIME AND DOING A GOOD JOB!! CURSE YOU CHEF FOR MAKING THAT PIZZA!! CURSE YOU PIZZA COMPANY FOR MAKING THAT COMPANY!! CURSE YOU WHOEVER DISCOVERED PIZZA!! CURSE YOU THE MOTHER OF WHOEVER DISCOVERED PIZZA FOR GIVING BIRTH TO HIM!! CURSE EVERYONE!! DIE!! DIE!! EVEN IF YOU'RE ALREADY DEAD, GET REINCARNATED AND THEN DIE!! I HATE ALL OF YOU!! Anyways... Enough of this cursing... I gotta wake up and tell her to use her water magic on me!! Open!! Open my eyes!! Open my beautiful eyes!! Open!! Just open!! This is not a Sunday morning!! Open!! THIS IS URGENT!!
Why do I feel like I'm sleeping? Maybe it was all just a dream after all... Maybe... I was just dreaming about all of this happening... Wait... My eyes are opening...
-WATER BALL!!
Wait... Is that the Ancient Magus? She... She is helping me survive... She is saving me... She is a goddess................ Wait... How ironic... I was actually the stupidest human all along...
-DEEP CLEANSING!!
WHY IS THE WATER ENTERING MY INSIDES?! WHA---
THIS FEELS SO GOOD!! HOW?!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
-Ah... You're safe now... It took me some time to think of it... But... I had the water attribute all along... Hehe~
---Ah... You're so stupid... Anyways... Why did you send water inside me?
-That was to clean your insides... Who knows? Maybe some acid went inside you... Well... This was all I could do... I'm not a healer after all... Best of luck...
---Am I fainting?
-Yeah... Tell me where you keep the money so that I can safely transport you to a hospital...
---I... I don't know---
My eyes are closing... I can feel it... I'm... I'm not going to be able to keep my consciousness for much longer...
---Take me to the high priest----
