"Where am I?"
I opened my eyes with trembling eyelids as my vision became clearer and clearer.
Soon, the blurry world changed into a small room with nothing more than a table, a small mirror, a window, and two doors opposite each other. I was lying on a wooden bed with a soft mattress and pillow.
"Where am I?"
Confused, I looked around the room.
Arghk-!!
My body suddenly felt sore and ached from everywhere.
It was like it was hit by a hammer everywhere.
Suddenly, the memory of me getting struck by lightning appeared in my mind.
My breathing became heavy as I clutched my heart, taking the support of the bed.
"I am alive... so, is this a hospital?"
If so, shouldn't I be surrounded by nurses and doctors or at least medical devices?
Then, was it all a dream?
But remembering the feeling of pain caused by the lightning, a shiver ran down my spine.
Uncertainty was left in my brain as I searched for answers among answers to where I am.
I straightened my back as I unknowingly traced the wood of the bed.
"It feels expensive."
It was then I noticed three books on the wooden table next to the bed.
Each book had a black leather cover with their titles in a stylish font.
The titles of the three books were:
History of Heaven
War: Past, Present and Future
The Heavenly Academy
"Am I seeing things?"
Confused, I rubbed my eyes and looked at the books again.
The words remained the same.
"Is this a prank?" I concluded, feeling slightly frustrated as the tingling sensation of uncertainty grew. "If it is, it's not funny, man."
Silence.
Nobody answered.
With narrowed eyes, I slowly moved towards the closed window, intending to open it.
It was a plain dark window from which I could neither see the outside world nor any reflection.
I pushed the door, and something I had only seen in movies appeared before me.
Trembling, I took a few steps back before taking the support of the wall and stared outside the window.
A neon-lit city with flying bikes, trucks, and trains, along with huge skyscrapers and holograms everywhere, was presented in front of me.
The scene looked straight out of the future.
"MOTHERFU*KER. WHAT IS THIS."
I screamed, as even for me, what I just saw was hard to accept.
It was then a word appeared inside me.
'Reincarnation.'
'Did I reincarnate?'
I quickly moved towards the mirror and faced it.
My question got an answer.
I reincarnated.
The face in the mirror was not mine.
The face belonged to someone in their late teens. He had gray hair with blue eyes, sword-like eyebrows, a small and sharp nose, and delicate lips. He had smooth, fair, and spotless skin, all combined with a sharp jawline.
The boy was devilishly handsome, more handsome than any person I had ever seen.
It was then a sudden burst of memories appeared inside my mind.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHH."
My brain screamed in pain as if millions of needles were being poked into it.
I seemed to be on the brink of losing consciousness, but it didn't happen as I endured the pain.
.
.
"Ian Wyzen." I murmured. 'It is the name of the person whose body I reincarnated into.'
But I didn't care about it.
What I cared about is the world I reincarnated into.
The world's name is Heaven. Not the kind of Heaven where good people go after dying.
This is also the world where the only novel I have ever read, "Saga of the Reincarnated Hero," takes place in.
"This bullshit world."
I massaged my temple as the memories of the novel and this world flashed in my mind.
Yes, it is a fantasy world.
But the way the world was going, there was a 99% chance it was destined to be doomed.
The main characters, heroes, villains, heroines, all of them were mercilessly killed.
Heck, even the protagonist's lover was not spared.
And now I have reincarnated in this world as Ian Wyzen, someone who was not even mentioned once in the story.
He was an extra.
Suddenly, a blue holographic panel appeared in front of me.
It was then I realized how messed up the situation was.
