A/N: This is the first story I've ever shared, so any and all feedback is appreciated, no matter how harsh lol.


A/N #2: I am revising the earlier chapters, they'll have the same basis, but with some finer detail.


I let the water overtake my body, the warmth rose up to my neck. The water waved back and forth, leaking over the side of the tub. It was the first time I had taken a bath in nearly a decade; I thought it would be relaxing, but with how small the tub was and how much space I took up, it was a tight fit. I briskly sat up and reached for the soap, squeezing out the goop onto my hand. I ran my hands through my hair, loosening the knots and I brought a small cup up from the side of the tub to fill with water. I poured it over my head, pulling my hair down with it over my eyes and ears. I looked out the door, my dog was staring at me through the hallway. I must have looked like Swamp Thing, because he dropped down to his front paws in attack mode. I tucked the hair behind my face and he rose back up, walking away.

I grabbed my hair band and slid it up my wrist; I twisted my hair and fixed it into a ponytail. "Ah, much better." I said, leaning back into the wall. But, as I stopped, expecting the wall to support my weight, I felt nothing. The water rushed over me and I tried to sit up, but I couldn't. I panicked and tried to shoot up to the surface, but something was sucking me down. It was as if an orca had taken ahold of me, dragging me down to ease its kill. I sank deeper into the water, the bathroom light faded out of sight. My lungs were punching at my chest, crying out, "give us air!" I felt everything going numb, my eyes twitched and like a blanket pulled over my head, all went dark.

Drip...drip...drip...

My eyes opened, I was lying on a wet floor, my clothes were stuck to my skin. I struggled, rising to my feet. I looked around, it was pitch black, but every so often the whole room would illuminate. Water above shot like bullets at a gargantuan wall just 50 feet in front of me. The wall had a large waterfall cascading over, it glowed with every shot of water that smacked into it in multiple colors. Blue, red, green, repeat, like a stoplight.

It seemed to be calling me over. I started to move, but quickly noticed the ground below me, was pure water. I stopped my foot mid-air, nearly falling over myself. I touched it with my toes and continued to press my weight fully down. I relaxed, it seemed to be solid enough for me to walk over. My feet slapping against it with every step was equivalent to a penguin on snow. The bright light filled my vision, I reached out to the wall, pushing it past the water. It was a pleasant feeling, not the one I was expecting. A light drizzle trickled over my arm, collecting at my elbow and falling to the ground.

"Hello Gaje."

I whipped my head around to the sound. A large humanoid figure made from water stood just before me. Its skin jotted out like geysers, spewing water every directing. "Who, are you?" I asked, feeling an immense pressure in my throat.

"I am all, and none." The cryptic message cleared all stress I had for the moment.

"What the fuck does that mean?"

"I am what you would call-"

"God?" I interrupted, it would be unfortunate if he was, I wasn't exactly a religious person.

"No, I am your spirit."

"My... spirit?"

His head nodded, the water flowing through his skin halted, a mini wave pushed around his scalp. The water moved like a computer's water coolant system. "Yes, your spirit."

"Wh-why am I here?" I felt an overwhelming chill resting in my stomach, I wasn't afraid, not in mind. But I had a gut feeling that this was not something I should take lightly.

"You are here because I have come to offer you a chance at happiness."

Happiness. He came to offer me happiness? I was skeptical, but this area was already more supernatural than I could have imagined, so I listened carefully. He did not answer with words, but a single movement. His body swirled into a waterspout and shot at the wall. It roared and shifted about into a live feed of my home. I could see my dog, Petey, walking through the living room, licking an empty water bowl.

"You can go back to your home, live the mundane life you have been. The water shifted again, morphing into an image of the club room of Doki Doki. "Or, you can live here, in this world you so desperately crave."

It was too good to be true, but only two people knew of my deep desire to be there. "What's the catch?" I asked, inspecting the walls frozen yet flowing water.

"The catch, is that it is not exactly like the game. It's how you imaged the world would be as well as the characters." The image turned to Monika's face. "This girl, will no longer be a threat, she'll have no more power, and you… you will take over as its god, able to do anything you want. But, it is up to you whether or not you'll use the powers given."

"A god?" This was like the world's best edition of Deal or No Deal. I swallowed and looked back to him, "you said, Monika won't have her powers, how about the others? Have they changed at all?"

"They'll remain the same, their issues and quirks, but they aren't altered to the extent they were before." His comment brought Sayori to mind, I couldn't bare seeing her depressed, her sad smile was a knife in my heart.

But, could I give up that opportunity? I chuckled, I had a conversation like this with a friend of mine, albeit not with the same rules. "Would you give up everything to be there?" He asked. My answer came within in second, I was in a bad place and this game was one of the only outlets I had to feel anything except for angst.

"Yes, of course I would..." I said in a joking manner, but it was nothing less than the truth. Even if I had to kill someone, nothing would prevent me from attaining it. I was okay leaving behind my life, all my possessions, if I had to. The water spirit was patient, still waiting for my answer. My head rose up, I looked at the image with a determined grin. "I want to go... but, could I make a request?"

"Go on." The spirit spun off the wall, taking his humanoid figure beside me once again.

My mind was stuck on that water bowl, if there was anything that gained my sympathy, it was animals. "Could I fill his water bowl? My dog that is."

"Unfortunately if you leave to your home, you will remain there. However, you may bring him with you if you'd like."

"I'm allowed to bring him?"

"Of course, animals don't interrupt the process, unlike humans, the process to bring them is much more complicated." The water beside me opened like a sinkhole. It was completely black, though I could see at the very bottom, a white dot slowly rising and growing in size. When it popped up I realized it was Petey. He was scratching his ears and licking the air. I reached out and assisted his mission, making his leg kick out of reflex much faster.

"Sorry for not filling your bowl." I said quietly.

The wall began glowing, a loud hum rumbling the ground and our bodies. "Are you ready to leave?" Asked the spirit.

Petey lapped up the floor, drinking from the likely divine water. "I'm ready." I said. I grabbed Petey's collar so he wouldn't run off. Water spun up from below us, enclosing a large water bubble. Petey's fur shone, the water cleansing his dirt speckled hair. I checked off my mental list, he no longer required a shower. My spirit waved at us, he disappeared from my sight and the world blanked out again…

A bright white filled my eyes, wind blew into my face, peeling my skin back like a banana peel. My heart nearly stopped as I realized I was falling. Falling from the heavens down to Earth. I crashed through the clouds instantly bringing my body temperature down. My body shook, the frigid air chilling the water droplets that had collected on my clothes. Houses and trees became visible as I neared the end of my skydive. I needed to yell or I was going to pass out. "AHH-HAHAHA." I laughed hysterically at the high pitch of my scream. "Ah… AHHHHHHH!" I put my hands over my face, I was going to die.

In five, four, three, two, one… CRASH.
