You Are Dead

Those three words drove a literal knot in my stomach as I stared at the floating text above me. I was scared but more than anything I was confused, the last thing I remembered was going to sleep after beating that weird game and now here I am in wherever the fucksville. A loud beep sound cut off my next thought as I looked at the message in front of me change

"Hello there I'll be your friendly gm this session you can call me G are there any questions before we proceed?"

I stared at the words in disbelief my brain slowly trying to process what I was reading before the text changed again

"I'm gonna assume then you don't have any questions then and we can proce-"

"Wait no I have questions i promise I'm not ready to proceed!" I shouted quickly the text stopped writing as if it paused. "...where am i?" I slowly asked staring at the text. Another beep was heard as a side message showed up saying 4 questions were left.

"You're in my domain."

I paused waiting for more context but when the text doesn't change after a moment I realized that its giving me the bare minimum. "Ok super helpful what do you want with me then?" Another beep from the side messages and I saw I had 3 questions left.

"Simple you've wasted your life so I've taken claim of it and your my new video game character and i'm putting you through a new adventure obviously."

*Alright that's rude I wouldn't say I wasted my life just didn't live it to its fullest.* The screen with the main messages flipped over showing a video, in the video was my life with a small arrow saying "this you" I saw my life spent locked in my room playing games and eating noodles.

"isn't you spending years of your life until your literal death being a NEET, refusing to leave unless it's for food gods I can only imagine the smell. You lived your life in that room and died in their and you expect me to not think your life didn't go to waste."

I bit my tongue holding back from saying anything rude, *so he can read my mind that's great. * "Fine we can agree to disagree I lived my life how I chose that doesn't give you the right to take me as some little game piece you can do whatever you want with. " I was starting to get irritated with how this being was looking down at me like some peasant. "Whatever so what's the point of this game?"

"Your going on an adventure obviously just like all those silly little games you play I shall spawn you into this new world and your goal is to gain as many achievements and abilities throughout your life."

"Oookay but what's the end goal how do I win?" There has to be a catch right this felt way to good to be true like some bullshit was about to come next.

"simple. Towards the end of your journey you have to use all of your skills and defeat me and if you fail well we will keep playing this game until you beat me."

"WHAT?! WHAT KIND OF SHIT IS THAT HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO DO THAT?" My mind wracked thinking about how stacked against me this was.

"I'm not going to give you the answer to win silly I want to keep playing with you forever this is already the 5th time i won and I wanna keep the win streak going."

"Yeah well-" My mind froze on what the message just said and frantically reread it multiple times. "...what do you mean 5th time?" I stared at the screen waiting for the text to change but nothing happened. "Hello I asked a question what does the 5th time mean?"

"Wellll we've already gone through this whole tutorial gimmick 5 times and I've won each time."

"I don't understand why don't I remember this?" I started at the floor going through my memories but no matter how many times I mentally retraced my thoughts the only thing I can remember is my life as a NEET. As I stood their racking my brain in a flash a bright light blinded me and before me stood 5 still figures looking back at me. The first figure was a burly male with bulging muscles and a gentle aura, the burly man seemed to almost pose flamboyantly before vanishing. The next figure was a much smaller male wearing what looked like a red and blue superhero costume and just like before the small male posed heroically before vanishing. "I don't understand who are these people?" I looked to the text waiting to see what it would say.

"They're what you would call your previous save files I guess each of these were a you who didn't win the game and when I new game plus'd you I kept the previous save every time for this conversation and for shits and giggles I guess." I looked back to 2 more male versions of me slightly different in stature and then what i could only assume was a female me with a red sword and red hair to match.

"Ok I think I get it now so I just have to beat you and you'll free me from this hell then did I get that right?" I took a deep and steeled my nerves looking over at the floating words a random burst of determination filling inside me. The words began to swirl around before forming what i could only imagine was the equivalent of a Cheshire smile as the checks changed to a simple question.

"Are you ready to play?"

"Not like I have much of a choice do I?' The text didn't respond instead flying around me swirling around me in a flurry before eventually blinding me all together, The last thing I heard before everything faded to black was the sound of a little girl giggling madly into my head directly. The next thing I know all I could here were muffled voices saying something, my environment felt extremely warm and comfy but pitch black dark. I heard the voices getting louder although i still couldn't understand what anyone was saying, suddenly I felt my entire body lurch forward as a bright white light shined on me *I don't understand what the hell is going on but everything in my previous life has told me to never go into the light.* Immediately my body lurched forward again as I felt myself get pulled to the blinding white, the first thing i felt what a deep chill as i opened my eyes to see a extremely colorful hospital room. *….No fucking way.*

"Congratulations Ms. Moonlight its a healthy baby boy." I felt my body move as someone took me in and snuggled me up against something very warm and fuzzy. *There is no fucking way...was I just born-* My eyes finally adjust to the light only to see a multicolored pony smiling down at me.

"What do you want to name him honey?" I turn my head to the sound the voice came from to see a grey stallion beaming happily while looking at, I immediately look down to see instead of hands i had a pair black hooves. *-AS A PONY?* I frantically looked around to see the entire room is filled with multicolored ponies all looking at me.

" I think we'll name him Onyx Star don't you agree you love?' The female pony kept moving her mouth but for some reason all I could hear was a high pitched ringing sound blocking everything out as i see a small message appear in the corner of my eye saying 'Achievement Unlocked: You've been born', everything became to much to handle as it all finally clicked and I screamed.
