I...
I don't know what to say at this point.
Sigh...
If by some miracle, I survive the first death game and go on to the second. My survival rate is only 10%, just like the first one I'm about to do.
This is true for the next several death games...
That is less than 1 in a million.
I know myself well.
I may have some luck, but I'm not that lucky.
Ugh...
I can basically give up at this point.
[Don't give up! You still have me!]
Huh.
Yeah... you're still here.
That may be the only thing now that can save me!
No matter how bad this all seems, I still have hope for a comeback with a powerful system!
[That's the spirit! Just stay positive and maybe there will be a turnaround!]
Now that I think about it. I know you have a name.
But I never found out your ability!
So, what do you do system!
[My function is simple. Which is easy to use!]
Okay! That's great to hear!
Getting something complicated might make me nervous if I mess it up.
So, what is it?
[My function isn't evil. You don't have to worry about your mentality being affected by me!]
Awesome, that's all great and all...
But...
what is it?
[My function is safe. It won't kill you at every use!]
Yes...but what do you do...
[My function is-]
What do you do!?
[...]
...
[...by spending 50 years of your lifespan...]
...
[...you can see 50 years ago what you are doing for 5 seconds.]
...
[If you were not alive 50 years ago...]
...
[Then all you will see is nothing...]
...
[And since you are reborn. The moment of rebirth is the countdown of your current age...]
...
[...]
...in other words, you don't work until 50 years pass.
[Correct.]
...can this affect anyone else.
[No. You can only see yourself and take your own lifespan. No one else's past or their lifespan.]
…when you evolve further, will this change?
[Most likely... no.]
...I give up.
[No! You can't give up! There is still hope!]
Really...?
How.
[Uh... get lucky?]
...
[...]
While the silence was… stiffening. The rest of the world moved on. An announcement was made to every participant in the nothingness of the waiting area. The death game begins.
[Welcome to the death games! The stage has been set and everyone is ready! Let's begin!]
...I think it's better for me to quietly sit in place and wait to die.
[Come on! have some hope! Maybe the trial is easy!]
What was the lowest mortality rating of the first death game.
[80%]
The highest?
[100%]
...the average.
[90%]
What about the next several death games?
[90%...]
...and you expect me… to survive with your ability?
[...]
Exactly...just...silence.
After the last bit of interaction. The participants were sent off. Each to a different stage and various dangers that come with it.
Oh...I feel good.
[Open your eyes and look around. Maybe you can find something useful!]
Nope. I feel comfortable where I am at. I will lay here until my death.
[Really!? Don't you want to know what your body looks like? Or what is around you! I can tell you now that you are in a bed of what looks like a mansion.]
No that's okay. Knowing that I am in a comfortable bed is enough for me. Who or what I am doesn't concern me anymore.
[I... Sigh... maybe you're right. Although I was scared and a bit excited for the death games after finding out about them when I just born... what I can do with my ability dooms me to end my journey here on the first game. I might not see the second death game for a long time.]
Right. It's better for both of us to relax and enjoy this feeling for one last time.
[You are so depressing to be around you know?]
Not really, it is just aware of my situation and know that besides a miracle... there is nothing that can get me out of my predicament.
[A miracle huh. Yeah, that is pretty much the case. I didn't want to end my career so early but...]
Nothing we can do.
[...yeah.]
Meanwhile, while our duo is facing reality waiting for their demise. Several other figures were taking their lives into their own hands. Many groups, large and small, formed and explored the mansion they spawned in. A mansion that is unlike any other, large and grand enough in size to hold the 1,000 participants of this specific death game with ease.
