When I opened my eyes again, I found myself back in the vast, empty dark space or black world. At this ti, a bright holographic screen materialized in front of , informing of my death.
Ding!
[Ga over! You have died!]
Hmm, what’s going on? Why am I back in this void again? Shouldn’t I be dead? I always thought death ant the end—no consciousness, no awareness. I don’t believe in the afterlife either, but maybe this is what they call a "Soul Form." It’s hard to accept. Oh well, whatever the case may be, I suppose consciousness does persist after death after all, since my mind still feels pretty active right now.
Interesting. I had always thought my consciousness continued solely because I hadn’t used up all my Respawn Tokens. However, it seems that even without any Respawn Tokens left, my consciousness still persists. So, technically speaking, if I’m not wrong, my guess is that the Respawn Tokens only revive my physical form; they don’t really impact my soul or anything beyond that. I see, I see, so that’s how it works.
[Hello, Beginner Player! Would you like to continue?]
[Beginner Respawn Tokens: 0]
[You can no longer respawn anymore, as you’ve used up all of your Beginner Respawn Tokens! Would you like to Continue or Quit?]
Continue or Quit? What does that even an? How can I continue when I’m already dead? Hmm, this is incredibly confusing... And what does quitting do? Wait... don’t tell I’ll be permanently dead if I choose to quit? So does that an I’ll lose my consciousness permanently as well?
Unfortunately, the system didn’t provide any additional information about what would happen if I chose to continue or quit. I started to speculate that quitting probably ant permanent death, ga over, or no more consciousness. As for continuing, I guessed I could either be reincarnated or reborn. Well, maybe... It’s hard to tell, and I won’t know for sure unless I try it first.
Wait, this might not be so bad after all. Honestly, now that I think about it, reincarnation or being reborn again isn’t such a bad option either. It feels like it’s a good way to start life over again—sothing like a reset button that launches into a whole new body. But the real question is, would I be human again? Or would I beco a non-human species? What if I reincarnated as an ant, or an animal like a tiger, a lion, or even an alien?
The thought that I might not be able to beco human again made feel a bit uncomfortable. However, I decided not to dwell on it for now, as that wouldn’t be healthy for my mind. Instead, I’ll focus on staying positive.
Anyway, after giving it so thought, I realized I truly want to live again. I’m not entirely sure why—maybe my experience as a human in my previous life has instilled in this strong desire to live. It’s as if a deep-seated instinct is driving , urging to embrace life once more. Who knows? Perhaps it’s the mories, the feelings, the regrets, or the connections I once had that create this yearning within .
Anyway, before I make the decision to continue or quit, I’ve decided to take a temporary rest for now. I may not be physically exhausted, as I currently do not have a physical body, but ntally speaking, I’m still drained from the tornt or torture I endured earlier. In short, I’ve chosen to stop thinking about anything for now and just rest and chill in this void for a while.
With that, I lay down on the black ground and closed my eyes. Ah, so relaxing... No more suffering, no hunger, no thirst, no work—so this is how the afterlife feels, huh? Moreover, there seems to be no ti limit for staying in this vast empty dark space either. Does that an I can remain here forever if I want to?
Well, while this place seems like a tranquil space to relax, the emptiness of this vast dark world becos boring quickly if I stay here too long. I don’t mind being alone, but not for too long—otherwise, I’ll start to feel extrely lonely and depressed.
Alright, let’s not think too much for now and just rest. I’ll give my mind at least a week to recuperate before I continue with anything.
Approximately a week later—well, maybe a month has passed, it’s hard to tell since I’ve lost track of ti in this empty dark world.
By now, I’ve relaxed my mind enough, and I’ve decided it’s ti to move forward. At this mont, I don’t care if I beco human again or not; I just want another chance to live. No matter how difficult my next life may be, I’ll gladly accept the challenge.
With that, I stood tall and approached the glowing hologram screen. Taking a deep breath, I muttered, "Alright, let’s give it a try. Let’s do this." I tapped the "Continue" button, and in an instant, I felt myself pulled into the hologram screen. My consciousness faded for a brief mont, and when I finally ca to my senses, I found myself in a place of total darkness.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh! Panic surged through as I let out a desperate scream, but to my horror, it echoed silently in the darkness around . What’s going on?! Why can’t I make any sound?! My throat feels strangely absent, as if it has vanished entirely, leaving utterly voiceless.
