I was in an endless sky. Blue skies and clouds as far as the eye could see. It wasn’t so bad really. I wasn’t hungry, I wasn’t tired, I wasn’t anything really. I was dead; this was honestly more than I expected. Thankfully they kind of turned off my need for stimulation before they put me in here. Whoever “they” are; they’ve just called themselves “The Company.” You could practically hear the capital letters.
I was purchased after my death, apparently. Wholesale. The god of my world had a chosen people and I wasn’t one of them. I don’t resent him for it. He didn’t throw me into some kind of hell. Apparently The Company was some kind of interdimensional entertainment corporation. I didn’t really love the idea of being someone’s sex doll or action figure, but they assured me that hardly anyone actually wanted someone who wasn’t happy to be there, and they typically used the souls of serial rapists for that kind of client when they did show up.
For a long time I just waited. Chatting occasionally with my neighbors or caretakers when the mood struck me. I still enjoyed company even if I didn’t need it. Eventually, I was pulled out. I assumed I’d be turned into a clone of someone’s favorite anime waifu or something, and made peace with it. Instead, they offered me a job.

They wanted a beta tester for a product they were developing. An immersive full recreation of a fictional setting, with access to an extremely pay-to-win cash shop. They had tens of millions in production, and I’d be matched with one and go through the experience they were developing for their customers. If my experiences and feedback provide them with acceptably useful data, I may even be placed in a queue to test another world after my eventual demise. Otherwise, I’d likely be integrated into the final version as a constantly reincarnating soul.
It seemed like a good deal. After all, if I was going to be The Company’s bitch for eternity either way I might as well enjoy myself. I put down my name to be entered into the lottery.

Given that you have to be dead and incredibly lucky to be a tester instead of being a random person in a fictional world, I will claim that I put your name down and you will never be able to call me on it if you don’t get the position you wanted :p

This seems rather tame, yet unique in reincarnation what's limbo like, I kinda like it. Aaannyways Don't mind me I'm just binging.
I hope you enjoy/enjoyed
Right, as first chapers go this is not the worst of starts.
It's shorter than i would've rathered/is used to but that's ok.
I shall continue reading and see were this goes...
Hope you like it. I’d appreciate any feedback, positive or negative
@Jerynboe we shall see, im a few chapers in and i've not seen anything that's not already been said.
@Jerynboe Though i'd have to say, im not a fan of the time measurement system your using. it looks like your using calendar days instead of a straight number and that should not ideally be used unless the date in question carry significance narratively.
Ooo waifu catalogue
My first attempt. It got a little out of hand.
@Jerynboe Cool
