Life is Not A Game
Chapter 1Prologue
'You'd never know the value of something without losing it first'.
Now I don't know who said that. And to be honest I don't even care. The point is, whoever said that must have been a very wise person because those are very wise words, and they also perfectly describes my current situation.
You see, I had a life. Had being the keyword, which means I don't have it anymore.
Yeah, I'm dead.
I was walking down the street to the grocery store. And I was walking on the footpath, didn't even try to set one foot outside, just obeyed the pedestrian side of the traffic law.
But that still wasn't enough, because the cliché speeding truck just came out of nowhere and hit me and other pedestrians at full speed.
The only solace I have is that, it happened so fast that I didn't even get to feel any pain.
After that, I found myself here.
As for where is here, I don't know. Now, one can certainly make the argument that I am in the afterlife. But if this is really the afterlife then it's a lot different from what bible had it out to be. I mean there's nothing here, hell all I can see is just black. Well, obviously there's me, but that's not the point. The point is, other than me there's nothing here, all I can see is just a black and endless void. Though it did occur to me that there might be something around me but I can't just see it nor feel it because I don't have a body thus the necessary sensory organs to begin with.
But still though, far from being the afterlife, I'd instead call this the no-life.
Now, to a fanfiction reader this premise might seem familiar. The MC dies then he finds himself in a dark void and then after a while he basically gets self-inserted into one fictional world or another. And I thought that would also happen to me too, but it's been so long (I lost count after a month) that I've lost all hope of that ever happening, hell it's been so long that even my former life is feeling more and more like a dream, it's like it never happened.
I want to get out of here. This is hell, it can't be anything else.
Heeeeey! Is anyone there!? God!? Can you hear me!? Look man if this is really hell, then I'm really sorry for whatever I did in my life to get here, so please just get me out of here! I don't care what you have to do for that, wipe me out of existence or reincarnate me as some kind of worm, just do something!
…
…
…
Yeah, like that would work, but it was worth a try at least. It's not like there's anybody here to see me shout like a madman.
Squeeze!
The hell!? What was that!?
SQUEEZE!
UGH! I feel like I'm being squeezed from all direction, like some kind of rubber ball!
Pin!
Ow! What the hell!? What is pricking me. Wait, I'm feeling pain! That's one thing I haven't felt for a while, but how!? I'm supposed to be dead!
Pin! Pin! PIN! PIN! PIN…!
Ow, hey God, or whoever it is, I know I said wipe me out of existence if you have to, but could you at least make it painless?I mean what's with the pinpricks!?
Flood!
Whoa! What the hell!? what are these? Images!? Wait, they aren't images but memories! But whose? They aren't mine that's for sure.
FLOOD!
Holy crap! Is this who I think it is!? That's…
A/N: Hahahahaha! I can't believe I did that! I never thought I'd ever use a cliff hanger, on the first chapter no less! But anyway, I'm back and it's the reboot of my first gamer story, it's going to be an x-over this time. This chapter is short, but then again how big can you make it when it's all about a guy spending time in a dark void and then getting reincarnated?
And as for my other stories, 'Knowledge is Power' would be put on hold for now, I would get back to it later, and as for 'PTSD' it's abandoned, if anyone is interested in adopting it then they are free to do so.
