I Can't Breath
It Hurts...
And after a few seconds...
The pain disappeared...
I could feel myself lying down on something...
I opened my eyes, only to see nothing but darkness...
I asked myself...
Where am I?
I stood up, looked around, only to see nothing but darkness, I looked down, and saw what I was wearing, a suit,
《Oh, I remember now...》
I said as i was beginning to recall my memories...
《I Died, Didn't I》
Then suddenly a Bright Light shone behind me...
A Black Figure stood infront of the light...
《Are you awake?》
The Black Figure asked me,
《Who are you?》
I subconciously asked him, It was one of the many questions I have in my mind...
《Me? I'm a 'Grim Reaper'》
Grim Reaper? aren't those fictional beings?
《But please, Do call me Kuro, 'Grim Reaper' is just like our 'Title'》
The Bright Light dimmed slowly, allowing my eyes to adjust, so that I could see clearer...
as soon as my eyes adjusted, I could see Kuro's face, he had pale white skin, with crimson red eyes, and pitch black hair with traces of white, he also wore a pitch black cloak, only up to his calves, with small slits that his arms could easily fit through, and the slit in the front was gone...
he also looked like he was 14 or 15 based on his height and face...
he was a strange person....
Then I remember what he said he was...
A Grim Reaper....
《Grim Reaper? Don't Grim Reapers have scythes?》
I suddenly asked that question... I don't know why...
《Oh, we Grim Reapers don't have scythes, That's only a speculation.》
Okay, now for the second question...
《Okay, one more question, Why am I here?》
《Oh, Is your memory still hazy?》
《Why?》
I was confused as to why he asked that question...
《You died, remember?》
Oh, I remember now, I killed myself, didn't I?
I nodded, in response to his question...
《So... Do you have anymore questions?》
I shook my head to indicate that i have no more questions...
《Okay... Let me ask you a few questions then, I'll be blunt, do you want to get reincarnated to another world?》
《 . . . Why?》
Reincarnated? why me? what, am I going to fight the Demon King in another world like some kind of novel?
《You will need to reexperience life on this otherworld that I am talking about.》
Reexperience life? What do you mean?
《Wait . . . Why me?》
《We pick people based on their Death, so we picked you based on your Death too》
《So? Why me?》
《We chose you because of your death
[Suicide by Drowning] for you to go and live another life in that world》
《 . . . Why do I need to do that?》
《For you to truly understand how important Life is.》
Why do I need to live another life?
Do I truly need to live another life?
I pondered...
《What happens if I refuse?》
I asked...
《Then we will respect your decision, we will send you to the afterlife for you to pass on》
《 . . . 》
I ruminated about my past, about what happened to my mother, my sister, and my father...
I thought about it, what would happen if something similar happened to me again...
But no...
I was only trying to run away...
I was only scared to live a life similar to that... Well of course, I was traumatized by that, but I was a given a better life by my sister, my mother also gave me a decent life, so when I grew up I could live happily, They gave me a better life so that when they are gone, I could still live a happy life even without them...
So why should I end it here?
Now that I think about it, everything that they did led to me being happy, and I wasted their efforts because of my selfish reasons.
then Kuro spoke...
《Then I'll ask you again, do you, Haruki Yukimura, want to be reincarnated to another world?》
《Of course! why wouldn't I want to?》
《That's the spirit.》
Kuro said while smiling...
《Well then, I'll first tell you about the world that you will be reincarnated to, the name of the world is [Azvern].
First of, your [Race], there are many Races on Azvern, like Elves, Dwarves, Fairies, and many others, in addition to the many races, there are also Humans, and Demi-humans, there are other 'beings' that fall under Race category called [Monsters] like Slimes, Dragons, and many others, you can learn about them on Azvern, your Race will be picked randomly, as I am not the one who controls these things,
next is Azvern's [Mechanisms], Azvern's Mechanisms are just like those that you see in fantasy novels, as peoples' imaginations come from Gods thoughts when creating Azvern, the thoughts of the Gods "overflow"
and flow to open minded people, and the thought turns into the imagination of the people, Back to the Mechanisms, as I said, Azvern's Mechanisms are similar to those of novels, Among the Mechanisms, There is a Mechanism called [Status] that is similar to those in novels, you will learn about them on Azvern, there is also a Mechanism called [Mana] which supports the Status Mechanism, there are many smaller Mechanisms that fall under the Status and Mana Mechanisms, such as [Skills] and [Abilities], and yes, there is a difference, but I will not tell you because I want you to learn about them yourself because this is your second life, I don't want to ruin by telling every suprising details about Azvern.
Anyways, I think I told you about the common knowledge of Azvern now, do you have any questions?》
《 . . . No.》
《Well then... Do you want to get reincarnated now?》
《 . . . Yes.》
《Then get ready, as you are about to get [Reincarnated], it may feel uncomfortable though.》
《Eh? What do you me-》
I was sinking through the floor, it felt uncomfortable because my feet feels like it's covered in something like goo or slime.
《Oi, oi, What's happening》
《Don't worry, your body is just being 'processed'.》
《Eh?》
I was confused by what he was saying...
Processed? What does he mean? What's happening to my body?
As I thought about what was happening, my body was already halfway through the floor,
I couldn't feel nor move my lower body.
《Ah, I forgot to mention something, your [Fate] and [Luck] won't be transferred to Azvern》
《Wh-》
-at do you mean?
Before I could finish what I was trying to say,
my mouth was already under the floor.
My head already sank through the floor...
but before I could lose conciousness, I heard Kuro say something...
《I'll tell you about it the next time we meet.》
Before I could think about what Kuro said,
the first thing I felt was exhaustion, I thought about what was happening...
I couldn't breath nor do I have any energy to move, I felt like I was covered in a goo or slime like when I was sinking...
I felt like I was underwater but it didn't feel like I was drowning.... I felt like I was just..... there...
after I stopped thinking, I slowly lost consciousness, and I fell 'asleep'...
