Boom...

A thunderclap struck a tree on a hill, igniting it into flames and destroying its vitality in an instant. A small, simple blue orb with a muddy surface lay beneath a tree, giving the appearance of an ordinary pebble to those who saw it. The blue orb's size was that of a golf ball, its blue light was faint, and its scent was so appealing that it could calm the heart and mind, making it an unusual item to those who saw it.

Heeh!!!

Thanks to the great gods, that thunder did not strike me, or I would have been destroyed in an instant. Phew

A loud shriek was made inside the blue orb, but it couldn't be heard from outside, as if the blue orb was sealed and soundproof, making it impossible for living things to hear the loud shriek inside.

Oh, hello, I'm sure you're wondering who I am.

Sorry for being so rude. My name is Akito Urui, and I am a typical 23-year-old man who recently graduated from college. I have a big dream of finding a great job in a big industry, working for at least ten years, and retiring after being a good son and settling down in the suburbs and living a carefree life...

But, but heeh, I, I died; argh, it hurts my heart for something like this to happen.

How am I going to survive without anime, manga, novels, and Earth's food? Let me at least fulfill my obligation to provide for my parents before I unknowingly die.

I'm not sure what my parents think of my death. I apologize to my beloved family. I hope you're well, my dear mother, father, and big sister.

Don't give up and live; please don't think about me, your unfaithful son.

Boom...

Thunder and heavy rain began to fall, extinguishing the flame in the tree.

Hee!!!

Thunder-sama, please don't scare me, this orb can't take it.

Why did I refer to myself as a orb? To be more specific, I was inside the orb like a sealed spirit or something, and when I awoke, I panicked because I saw a message in a transparent blue thing saying that I died and was transferred to an unknown world, of which I have no idea what kind. I tried praying, doing dogeza, wishing, and asking the blue screen about it, but it didn't give me any answers.

In my opinion, the blue screen, also known as the system interface, is not at all user-friendly. At the very least, it still provides a monitor that covers at least one meter around me.

Otherwise, how can I see my surroundings? But how can I do anything if I can't even move my orb of a body?

If I could even move an inch, it would be a miracle. Hays

I was truly transferred as a orb among all the reincarnations and transfers to other worlds. What a sad life; it would have been better if I had turned into an animal instead. Sigh

As the blue screen followed me, I could only float in this vast white space. What a way of life—this isn't even the lazy life I desired. Sigh

Boom....

I'd like to die...

I'm like a frog trapped at the bottom of a well. What a sorry state of affairs. I can't even move around the area because I'm a freaking orb. Did I do anything bad in my previous life to become a orb? Why don't you just make me a rock or grass instead? Sheesh

At the very least, grass could wiggle in the air.

Boom...

Heeh, I'm sorry, I won't complain any longer, thunder-sama.

The thunderstruck at least 5 meters away from my location. I'm glad I'm still alive. Rock Kun, rest in peace.

Don't worry, being shattered and turning black will not be in vain for you.

Roar… Awooo

Animals?

Are there any animals down the hill? At the very least, this area is not isolated. This was my first experience hearing animals roar. Perhaps they are terrified as a result of the thunderclaps that have struck the area.

Well, they can at least run, but what about me? I swear my spirit tears will flow once more, snoop. It's enviable for these guys to run wild and free, and for little Cubs to be happy in life... I've been transferred to this world as I suffer alone in the ground beneath the dying tree that has been my only friend for the past week.

As I keep talking like a moron, I didn't notice the shadow stealthily approaching my muddy pearl being preyed upon by a predator...

As it continues on without stopping, until a shadow reflects on the muddy orb and hears its sound

Meow...

Heeh, a... a cat... a big cat?

Meow...

As I looked at the big black cat on the monitor, its color was all black with blue eyes, and it was staring at me as if he had found a toy to pass the time.

Wait! Toy!! Time!!!

Heeh, don't tell me a cat will play me to death...

Meow...

In my panic, I didn't notice the cat's half-submerged body as its paw landed on top of my muddy pearl...

Please, Cat-nim, be gentle... help
