And there I was, lying in a haystack, like the sweet baby Jesus on a Christmas morn..(sigh)

I just keep relating to the weirdest things in the weirdest times..

Maybe that's why I'm stuck like this..

I just keep getting into these situations, I should just roll up in a corner and die..

Wait I already did...

........

NotificationYou have learned the skill [Depressing Aura] Proficiency 0.00%

Nope, this is bad, I gotta stop now before I get too depressed..

Since even the horses are now staying away from me..(sigh)

For now, I'll think positively..

Yeah, that's right, I'm mister positive..

Gotta see the bright side of things now..

At least it's still daytime..

Even though the horses are staying away, the crows seem to like me..

Wait..

Crows? isn't that bad? 

Fuuuuu..

So be it, I will be known as Mister Positive Crow Man! Fuhahahahaha....

NotificationYou have acquired the title {Depression Incarnate}

Hmmm what's this? Title? Am I a movie?

This is bad, I'm starting to tsukkomi everything..

I'm becoming strange, hmm?

As I take a closer look at the title, something happens..

Depression IncarnateYou have gone off the deep end, and too much negative feelings are bottled up inside youthat they have started to affect your personality that even crows gather around you.

What is this self-loathing title?

Am I really that depressed to get pity from you, huh?

Wait a minute, somehow, all these windows looked the same..

They seemed familiar..

Where have I seen these before, they look like those windows in..

Games...

Am I really in a game?

As I thought that, I pinched my finger hard and bit my lip simultaneously..

Yep, it hurts, and I'm bleeding...(sigh)

Anyway, this seemed to be reality..

But the window seemed real too, so it must be that kind of world..

I quickly draw the conclusion, that this was a world with game-like elements..

Reading on this site? This novel is published elsewhere. Support the author by seeking out the original.

Just like some of the settings in the novels I used to read..

Huh? I'm not thinking hard enough about it?

Who? Me? Nope, I don't know what you're talking about..

Well, since this is a game world, there must be commands right?

As I got excited, I thought the first command I wanted, LOG OUT!

...

.....

........

"(sigh)"

I knew it was too good to be true..

Then, let's try another command, STATUS!

And sure enough, a square-shaped window appeared in front of my eyes..

Are you always trying to bring down my self-esteem?

You got a problem with me, world? Is this funny to you?

I don't know why I'm screaming to an inanimate being..

I guess {The Loner} title isn't too far from the truth..

Now, for the next thing, SKILLS!

And just like before a window appears, only this time, rectangular.

Hmm, it seemed like I could only use aura-based skills for now..

After that, I tried saying a variety of game lingo and terms, which led to no avail..

Now that that's over, I wanted to check the skills I got..

But it seems I have company..
