rewriting the first chapter because holy it was terrible im sorry to anyone who read that i apologise
Hey. I'm dead. You're probably wondering how this fucking happened. Basically, I was in the hospital. My nose broke due to an accident, and the doctor that I was assigned was very sleep-deprived, so he didn't notice when I was choking on my food. I really, really want to call him an asshole, but he was overworked, so it is... Acceptable. I guess
Anyways, it appears I am in a library (not the worst afterlife). I can see a spiral staircase, and it appears to go down infinitely. It also appears to go up infinitely, so I'm staying the fuck away from that. There is an arcade at the other side of this library. There are no doors or windows. I looked in one of the books earlier, and it was about math. It only contained information I already knew. I'm going to check if this is true for the other books.
Let's see this book. It's called "philosophy," and now that I'm reading through it, it's all things I already know, and it's lacking a lot. This can't be coincidence. All these books contain my knowledge.
I. I am going to check the arcade. This is starting to freak me out. I mean, an eternity with nobody else, the only things here being what I already know. Heheheh, it can drive anyone mad.
I found an operational arcade machine. It's not labeled. It's simply called "Game." The screen is lit up, but it only says:
Press Start to Begin

Beside it, there is an infinity sign. Might as well try. I press start, and...
Third person:
As the man pushes the button, he falls over completely unconscious. He then disappears, and the machine displays a message:
"Gamer initiated.
Good luck - The programmer and the bug tester"
There is no original chapter 1 in ba sing se.
