Okay, dead strangers, sorry I mean dear strangers. (Okay, that joke was lame. It only works when written.)
This seems too sudden but I will tell you the story of a hero and his fate.
It's about a certain boy, who was supposed to be your average run-of-the-mill teenager that can be found anywhere in the world.
This boy was blessed by the goddess of luck and was dragged by the result of some mysterious events to the sacred path reserved for the clichéd protagonist and boom, he became a hero.
He fought villains every day with his newly found power, with a mysterious middle-aged butler with a cool background story (a veteran spy) backing him up and coordinating his moves behind the scenes.
They were a perfect team and no villains or some random mafia or Yakuza organization could stop them. He met many comrades along the way and encountered different kinds of people that became his allies and trusted friends.
Among them was the chosen heroine with whom he fell in love.
Unfortunately, his beloved was kidnapped by the last boss, who was the mastermind behind a criminal organization aiming for world domination and was used as a final counterattack against him, but with the power of love and friendship, they managed to beat this super-villain at the cost of the lives of some of his comrades.
Their sacrifice wasn't in vain because it brought peace to the world after many years of fight, and he lived happily with his beloved after that. The end.
Magnificent, really magnificent!! Don't you think so?
That's the fate of a hero, that's the story of a hero, that's how it should be most of the time, at least from what I've read and seen (and sometimes imagined)in all of these comics and movies or anime so far.
Well, it's a bit cringe, actually not a little bit, but whatever; the important point here is that at least there's a happy ending.
Yeah, in reality, what matters is the ending.
Consequently, I wondered why?
Why do I have to keep witnessing this madness? I wish someone could have told me why.
I remember clearly, at that moment, my field of vision was blurry and everything looked reddish, mostly because of the blood that was spilled inside of my eyes.
My face was entirely covered with red liquid, but even at that stage, I can tell that my room was turned into some sort of butchery room.
My beloved PC and gaming setup doesn't shine like they used to anymore, even though I bought a new RGB set not a long time ago.
( I knew that this is for sake of making the scene more dramatic, but damn it, author. Why do you have to do that?)
My bed was decorated with gores and some disgusting stuff that I can't even describe with common words.
To be honest, it wasn't a room anymore but some kind of torture chamber, and all the furniture were pulverized along with my limited edition figurine and were scattered everywhere like some kind of trash.
Well, the room wasn't that good since it's one of the cheapest around, but still, I had all of my belongings, in other words, my life was inside of this damn room. However, the guy who was standing in front of me turned it into a scene straight from a horror movie.
I felt like throwing up but I couldn't feel my legs; no, the lower part of my body was violently detached from the upper part and ended up on the bed, and I can see my intestines and all of the stuff that used to be inside of my stomach spilled right in front of me. I was literally in a hell of a blood bath.
Anyway, I had a question that needed an immediate answer...
***** (I still don't know why the author uses those by the way.)
First, we need to rewind time a bit.
[Vrrrrrrrrrrrrr] Notice: The author wants you to think about these rewinding sounds. (I don't know what he is thinking, but he has some cringe idea. Shhh! Don't laugh too loudly he will be depressed.)
(Two hours prior.)
Many things happened in my life recently but I am now living as a streamer and I have many followers who watch my videos every day.
I am done with all of this messed-up stuff because I was given the chance to be reborn as a new man with clear purposes in life. Entering the top ten of the most popular streamer in the country. I am going to do a direct video again today, here we go...
" To tell you the truth, I am still single and never had a girlfriend. It's not like there's no one interested in me but it's just that I have a specific taste in women. This is the story of how I got into older women with ample bosoms and short hair.
It seems like I was born lucky, with a natural common and ordinary face. That is because, it is highly probable that beautiful women with huge chests are attracted to a common-looking guy, according to the results of my research and the testament of some people on the internet.
These guys were single like me too but from what they said, they received a friend request from mysterious older women who are interested in meeting them. It's a matter of patience, they said. It seems that everything went well for them because not long after they received this mail they left their Weeb and disappeared; probably because they found their happiness (They were probably scammed and killed or turned into some sort of slaves).
But, whatever happened to them after, their words gave me hope, that's why I didn't mind even if I was single until now, since I will certainly find a curvy woman if I am just patient enough, and be happy with the fact that for now there are only a few activities available for me to satisfy my natural, very natural, human desires when I am alone in my room.
To be honest, I am ashamed that I only realized this not a long ago; love is about patience. I feel like I was enlightened, so if you have struggled because you feel thatyou are missing something and you are single then visit my Qtube channel: 'Love Physician'.
Many people understand how you feel too and they will discuss with us what they did to overcome their loneliness."
'Mmmm, I have the feeling that I am forgetting something...'
[Pause]
(My past thoughts are supposed to be in italic because my actual thoughts are already put in parentheses. It doesn't work on this platform though. The author has it rough trying to write in such a weird way.)
[Play]
Ah, my apologies, I forgot that this was supposed to be a flashback about how I began to talk telepathically with people from different worlds because I realized that I live in the comic world and people are watching as the scriptwriter struggle to not write a rip-off story. Lately, I was busy with my channel and rebuilding my life and my room so I forgot about these theories...
"What!!!? Ladies and gentlemen this is big news..."
(Did I do that? Aren't you making me look
cringe, Author? Hey? Why aren't you saying anything?)
My subscribers just reached 10k! This is a huge achievement and will probably bring more money for me to survive. Many things happened but this will be a new beginning, and a step toward my dream life.
*****
(Current time, inside the flashback)
"Why does everything looks upturned? Plus, I see a familiar-looking liquid spilled around my room. Oy, oy, oy, wait a minute, don't tell me... "
I know this pattern.
"That was it? Even a snake would have been more of a challenge..." A man whispered with a disappointed tone.
Here we go again... My head was sent flying and landed on the floor as I watched my body sitting on my gaming chair with a fountain of blood ejaculating violently from the place where my head used to be attached and covering my gaming pc and almost the entire room
(That pc cost me a thousand bucks by the way, just in case you were wondering. Yeah, I liked it. I am not crying or anything.)
It seems that some guys armed to the teeth just sneaked inside of my room. You see guys like them often in movies but in reality, they look more sinister with their heavy-looking outfits that will put everyone who thinks that skins in games are cool to shame. Well, the snake thing might be a little original (not sure though) but sound a little out of place in such a 'must be said villain line'. The scriptwriter did a good job I guess but still lacks originality in my opinion.
"Shut it and check the body." A woman's voice said.
A death flag was triggered, ladies and gentlemen.
'Seriously, what's going with my life?'
(I bet that some of you think that I am not as surprised as a man who just lost his head should be. Well, to begin with, it's impossible to be surprised at this point but there is a reason why I am used to these things.)
[Pause]
Anyway, let's talk about the conjuncture of events that lead to this situation. The day when I could see my intestines, the day when I was thrown to the lake, and the day I became the world's most wanted, criminal. The author is trying to insert a flashback, inside of a flashback. I hope your readers are not confused by this.
(See you in the next chapter.)
