Dark.
Well, it had been dark for a while. I suppose I died? I remember going to sleep with my wife after putting my young children to bed. After lying down for a while I felt sleep come but it was a different sleep... after feeling a shiver on my back and a strange feeling in my stomach I tried to force my eyes to open but without success.
| [ YOU DIED!] |
'Seriously! Has this become a game now?’ I thought as I saw a message prompt appear in front of where my eyes were supposed to be.
| [You lived 420480 hours in your first life, congratulations! ] |
‘Wasn’t it simpler to say I lived 48 years and what the fuck congratulations on dying!’ I didn’t really have time to think too much because the prompts piled up in front of me.
| [ You will be reincarnated into a new world. Wait for the soul cleansing process] |
Heavens! Reincarnation! I wanted so much to tell my wife... well, ex-wife now or my widow? What matters is that I would like to say that she was right about her beliefs.
‘Is it normal to take this long?’
I have no sense of time here in the darkness, but I can say that I've been here for more than hours without any other message prompts other than that last one.
"Hey! Is there anyone there? It will take a long time?" This must be hilarious, an impatient soul.
“This system is a-”
The moment I spoke system an empty prompt appeared. I decided to test it again.
"System!"
It worked. Every time I spoke system a blank message prompt appeared. I decided to test it even more.
"System! Status!”

[ 100% Complete! ]
‘Oh my-’
'I'm falling? How can I be falling if I don’t even have a body?!!’
I instinctively tried to grab something, even though I didn't know where my limbs were, I believe I felt it and grabbed it...but I only felt a slight pull and whatever it was must have broken and fell next to me.
