The electrifying sound from my Gastation was the last thing I heard before coming into this fiendish world. Everything went dark as the night sky, without stars or any lamps that could pave my way. I had my eyes wandering from every nook and cranny, but there was still no colour in my surroundings. My limbs refused to heed my command, even if I tried. It was as if piles of corpses weighed on my body, crashing to the depths of my grave.
'Is this the end for ?' I thought. 'I did not have the ti to enjoy my ga yet. Why can't I beco the hero that people would depend on?'
My na was Arthur Wyllt. It was like the legends had foretold, where King Arthur would save the day and vanquish evil! But alas, my fate had not turned out to be like that. Even in the ga, I did not have Excalibur. The villain that the ga developers made took it away from .
"I didn't even catch the guy!" I growled. But I knew it was too late for to play the hero.
The madness prevailed forever as I went to the endless void. My head continuously descended into the dark pit, devouring everything I knew. It was what people had ntioned, "don't stare at the abyss, or..."
"... The abyss will stare back at you."
A sudden voice continued my unfinished sentence. It sounded like a growl of a feral beast that I did not know, warning instead of threatening my existence. But as I looked around, nobody was there to greet . Only the pitch-black realm addressed my eyes.
"Am I dead from the spark?" I asked.
"Yes," the mysterious voice answered. "You are dead, Arthur. As dead as a mouse caught in a mousetrap."
Silence filled the air as the two of us refused to resu our conversation. But if we looked at it the other way, the two of us did not have any topic to talk about, especially after my death. The conversation had beco an awkward atmosphere that even the strears in my world could never revive.
It was that bad of a situation. But I opened my mouth and attempted to communicate once again if I had a mouth.
"Are you a god?" I yelled, hoping for an answer.
"..."
There was no reply. I expected that much, but I yearned for an answer. There were thousands of question marks raised above my head, but none of them had anings. Only more questions popped up inside of as I flowed into the black stream.
I cleared my throat and asked the eerie entity, "Where am I? And am I dead or awake with only my consciousness?"
"..."
"Mhm I see" I appended.
But there was no answer. I did not add any sentences after stating my words. My thoughts left floating in outer space, with my body swimming in the vast air. I was like a fish inside this infinite tank called space and ti.
After a few minutes of standing by, the voice erged in my ears, calling for my attention.
"You are dead in your world, but alive in our world." the mysterious voice replied, but I did not know the aning behind its words.
"What does that an? I was just playing a while ago? And what's this summoning thing?" I reacted. But I heaved out an exhausted exhale after absorbing all those thoughts. That exhale turned into a sigh of relief, knowing that I would never return to that world again.
"I guess not going back to that hellhole is a blessing in disguise," I murmured, and talked to myself.
"Do you still wish to beco a hero, Arthur?"
"Do you know ? And a hero?" I queried. Everything was so sudden.
"But I steeled my heart and gave the mysterious voice my answer." "Yes. A hero that would save the town and kill the demon."
I pondered for a second after hearing such a question thrown at without warning. The question almost felt like a scam. It was like those people in business that were trying to trick . Those corporate individuals and this mysterious voice were comparable to each other.
But... It was my dream, after all. I wanted to beco a hero that would serve justice and light to the world.
"Yes! I want to beco a he-,"
"You are not a hero, and you will never beco one."
Those words echoed inside of . It was as if my heart got pierced by a billion thorns that ca out of nowhere. Becoming a hero was my dream co true, yet this unknown claid otherwise.
"Who do you think you are!" I scread.
But my words reached no one. Soon, everything changed.
The dark place shattered into millions of pixelated light in front of . It happened in an instant that my eyes never glimpsed the situation. All I knew was the world around changed.
The coloured ca together, forming an image of a green place surrounding . Everywhere I gazed, a sea of trees welcod my eyes. Beside the woodland was a field filled with billions of flowers blooming during the spring. As I squinted my eyes further in the distance, a town of so sort greeted .
"Hey! What do you an I will never beco a hero!" I shouted, and a voice ca out from my lips.
It was a sensation that I had forgotten since the ti I got stuck inside that space. The dry land kissed my hands as I perched my body on the grass. The sensation had a warm feeling, as if I was touching my blanket to sleep.
"Where am I?" The question escaped from my mouth once again as my eyes wandered around the place.
The mysterious voice's words continued ringing inside my head. But the scenery nullified those negative thoughts.
"Incoming! Move out of the way!" A kid's voice echoed behind .
It took a while before I realised those instructions. However, my body refused to move out of the comfortable grass that acted like a couch. It almost felt that an unbreakable glue patched my bottom on the ground.
"I said move, mister! You'll get crushed by the..." The voice warned again, but I did not listen. And it was too late.
I had to pay the price, and the fare ca out sooner than expected.
A herd of boars trampled with their numbers and continued marching ahead in my direction. These animals never looked at where they ran, so they ramd against . After ten seconds, the mob of swine took off on the other side.
"I can't feel my arms" I groaned.
It was the sa feeling that I had from the empty realm from before. My appendages refused to heed my command. However, there was still a good thing about this occurrence.
I could feel it again, and the throbbing pain surging through my skin confird it. It was unlike the void that I had been from before.
The boy who called out for my attention went beside my head and gazed at . It was a kid wearing a white undershirt and a straw hat nestled on his head. If I had to guess his age, the boy was around twelve years old. He was still at an immature age.
"I warned you, mister." the lad confessed and leaned his head closer to mine.
I thought the kid was about to help . But boy, I thought wrong! The boy curled up his lips and burst into laughter.
"Look at your ugly face! You don't look like an adventurer! You look more like an old man! Bwahaha!" The kid chuckled up a storm while slamming his back on the ground, with his sinister smile still carved on his face.
"Hey, Afenos! I told you to wait for !" A feminine voice of a girl around the sa age as the boy called out for him.
I knew now that the little kid mocking beside had a na, Afenos. I sowhat rembered that na from before in my previous life.
"Look at this, Rain! A stupid-looking old man lying on the ground! What a loser!"
Rain, who I assud was the sister of this douchebag of a kid, Afenos, sprinted in our direction. She was a petite girl that was a little older than her age. That girl had hazel coloured hair flowing on her shoulder, and a pair of green orbs sparkling in broad daylight.
She was a girl that would grow up to beco a perfect wife for that lucky guy who would fall for her. I was slightly older than her. So I wouldn't dare hit on her.
"That's not nice, Afenos! Apologise to that stranger quickly!" the girl said.
The little girl's eyes stared at sothing attached beside my hips. My hands followed her gaze and tapped a scabbard wrapped around my waist.
"Is this... Clarent?" I murmured.
It was my legendary sword that I always equipped inside Magique.
