"Hey… Al…" the worn out voice of my friend made me shift a little upwards making me groan from the pain on my lower part of the body. My sudden movement made my other female fiend jolt up and push me back down slowly in worry. But I needed to see my friend's face before he continues to talk.
"What is it Shinji? Are you hungry? I'm sure I brought snacks with me before we got here…" even though it really hurts a lot, I talked calmly and titled my face up just to see his dirt covered face.
"…would it have been better if I was the one on your place? I was the one begging you guys to come with me..." I snorted and hit him on the head weakly knowing that I'd bleed too much if I make any more movements.
"Idiot, if you were on my place, you'd die easily. Even Dulcenea couldn't take this big-ass rock that crushed my legs. How can you handle it if you can't even carry a table?" a raspy chuckle slipped out of my mouth which made me clear my throat to make sure that my voice won't affect their guilt.
Today, we were supposed to be shopping because my friend here, Shinji, wants to celebrate an occasion which I don't actually know. Well, I did notice the birthday candles so I assumed that he it's his birthday and wants us to be with him. After we were done in the bakery and went to an Anime store to wrap up some gifts but an explosion suddenly made the second floor collapse trapping us in a small space with me getting my lower half of my body getting crushed and dying. Shinji… he was blaming himself… Dulcenea too. That's why I'm forcing to act cool like it was nothing even though I could already feel myself getting colder and colder as time passes by.
"Al~chan… I…"
"Don't worry Dulcenea… I'm not going to die yet. We still have to celebrate Shinji's birthday right?" both of them were silenced which made me confused. Did I say something wrong?
"Al… we… for you… these things we bought… the cake. We were supposed to go to the tailor shop and get the clothes we had designed while Dulcenea is entertaining you in the Anime store… Alister… Today is your birthday." My eyes widened in realization.
"T-today is..?" so both of them knew and planned this?
"We know what happened back then that made you stop remembering you birthday that's why… we wanted to replace with good memories… but somehow. We… we..!" Dulcenea started crying making her tears drop on my chin. With that, Shinji started crying too which made me feel my chest feel lighter. Either its good or bad, I don't know.
"…you guys…" my tense body somehow relaxed all over, even making all the pain fade away and my head was all light. A smile of content appeared on my face. Finally… finally… I found the place I can live in peace.
"Guys… back then, my brother told me something before he disappeared… he said Life isn't eternal, nothing lasts forever. Hope is a sin and dreams will all end."
"But despite of this, he told me that all living has the right to appreciate life… to feel love and to be forgiven. It may be true that life is not forever, but it's not a reason on stopping you to live happily." a big grin spread all over my face with my consciousness slowly fading like a mirage.
"I'm sorry guys… I guess I'll be going on first…" their voices were already silent no matter how many times they open their mouths, shouting at me.
I'm sorry everyone…
Live on without me…
'Oh, a new one? How interesting…'
Deep in this darkened place, a loud playful voice made the unseen ground shake. Where am I? If I remember well, I said my farewells to my friends… I'm quite sure I died.
"Who are you? Why is it all dark? Is this hell?"
A chuckle shook the ground once more and ended with the darkness turning into complete white.
'Welcome new comer, how did you get invited? Did you help a man on the streets and gave him food? Saved a cat from drowning? Or did you receive a lamp and rubbed it to make 3 wishes?'
What is this guy talking about? I don't really understand…
'Hmmm… I see… I understand now. You are a returner. Did you just die?'
My body stayed frozen on my spot seeing that the guy who was slowly appearing from nowhere.
"My name is Kagami. In an online game, I am what you call a GM."
"…you looked confused. I'm just sending you to that place so you can get answer to your questions. But before that! I will have to give you an ability. Pray for your luck." Gigantic shadows made me pale and look at the skies to see two dice cubes as big as a house drop to where I currently was. Of course, the normal reaction is to dodge right?
"Oh my! Interesting…" the dice cubes that came falling from the skies turned into their normal dice size and dropped on the ground with two sixes. So much for being confused, my body shrunk along with my clothes.

A blue screen popped up on my face that almost made me jumped away.
"Congratulations! You have acquired the class Gamer. Now you are ready to be re-spawned on that place. Goodbye and have fun!"
"W-wait—! My friends! Did they also..?"
"That, you will know along the way."
With that, I felt my body got dragged somewhere in high speed with another pop up screen near my face saying…

"Woah! That was cool!"
The next thing I saw was the least that I ever expected…
