I'm on the TV?
Scene: [REDACTED INFORMATION]
"We meet again, Liam."
"Ah yes, guess killing myself with a lot of drugs worked, who could have known"
A somewhat grim yet confident smile rose upon Liam's lip.
"Yes, now I hope you would like to venture outside?"
"Mm, before that, There are a lot of questions I want to ask-"
"Yes, I understand, I also need you to pay a price for venturing outside, hehe although with my authority,
that's no problem..."
"The catch Is?"
"It's simple, you get to ask me only 3 questions and right after I answer those, you will be transmigrated
into someone's body, ah don't worry about the details it's fine."
'I don't know who this is but I understand now that I can't live in a world that I already know is fake, I need to go to the real world no matter what.'
"Alright, first off, who are you? I assume I can access that information now"
"That depends on you, of course, I'm the [ADMINISTRATOR] Of the First Firewall."
"[ADMINISTRATOR]? What-?"
"Second question please"
"Tch, alright, Tell me about my original world"
"Oh? You're interested in that world even though it's not the real world?"
The [ADMINISTRATOR] seemed to have a look of disbelief but soon turned to his jovial-looking nature.
"Well if that's your question, then I hope you won't be disappointed, your world is nothing more than a mirage of the real world, just an illusion, of course, the people themselves are not always illusions but, indeed, they are nonetheless not real."
Before giving any chances to Liam to question him, the strange being decided to jump shift into the next question.
"Next question."
"Tell me about the Outside."
"The Outside huh, I wouldn't say is a wonderful world but it is far more advanced than your world, Gods, angels, demons, and many other races exist and may even co-exist with each other sometimes. It is the era that is the definition of change and mainly the 3000 era prophecy is finally beginning to blossom and you will be the main cause of it. All alone at the end of the blood river, I hope you can show me the
power of the Andr---"
The last few words are dizzy to Liam who is unable to think as he is torn apart and stitched together in something like a dimensional warp machine which was a popular up-and-coming invention in his past world, but now, even though everything is too quick for Liam, it's his new adventure, one could even say.

---Suspicion grows even more---
Scene: A massive bedroom of ???
Liam woke up in much of a doze as he was in that strange environment which is reminiscent of the
strange drug hallucinogen he had while trying to kill himself but he is still calm as ever, having already
let go of everything in his past life and accept it all, while still living his own life dictated by none, Liam
strives to move forward.
'...this is me? Ah right, he did tell me something about transmigration. So this is someone else huh, I
wonder what happened to the original one.'
The 'Man' looking into the mirror was a handsome lad with brunette hair, a build of a bodybuilder, and a
height of around 1.8 - 2 meters, with a fashion sense of gentlemen with suits and pants. What he missed
was his new name now.
Liam never remembered having a parent... his lost memory was...?
'What the Why can I only remember until my ex-girlfriend's drama?'
The Government-hating guy: Ah! Of course, you do, that's the start of this plot after all, these tv serial guys are getting good with these 5D jokes huh honey?
'Ahh whatever, first let's sort out my current situation, what is with this rich-ass mansion anyway, why is
the room so big?'
Just when he was thinking that an old man probably 60 or 70 years of age, came into the room without any prior notice.
"What the-- no... it couldn't be... Oh lord, help me!"
The old man who just took a glance at Liam, ran with all his might to who knows where but from his reaction, now Liam wasn't sure if his appearance was normal in this world.
Overall He is dying to see out this new 'real world, how different would it be? How much change and miracles would he see in this world? Those things are gnawing at his mind with excitement all the time and such a small thing couldn't possibly overthrow Liam's mentality.
'Although he does look scared, what did I do?'
Soon, he is going to learn the first law of any place. The dead don't come back to life. The divine rule shouldn't be broken especially in a world where the Gods are real.
Soon, an army of people who seemed to have armor too advanced for Liam to know what it is charged in and pinned him to the walls without even giving him a chance to speak, all Liam could see was the army itself and a man so grand in attire but still acted as if he was a captive who resents everything he did.
All that happened around 1 second to 3 seconds.
As such, Liam's hope of a new brave world is all gone to dust, as he is now on his way to the 4th death in his eternal lifetime.
----Suspicion? I don't have the time---
Scene: Great Prison Hall of NordWitch
When Liam woke up from what seemed like an eternity of beatings and immediate sedative after all that, all he could see was complete darkness.
'Where am I? damn it, why is it so dark?'
Liam tried his hardest to move around but what seemed like an invisible shackle restrained him completely making him unable to even move his body in anyways
Just when he was about to lose all hope and even about to think about how to kill himself, he heard a couple of footsteps heading towards him, surprisingly this wasn't sound proof as he thought.
"Yo, The infamous dead man seems to be looking very alive right now"
"Yes, he looks like a child full of vitality just waking up"
The two grunts enjoyed their musing while they ridiculed Liam but Liam knew that the best thing to do right now was to get information, so he decided to ask them with much humility.
"Ha.. Where am I?"
"Ha? This crazy bastard, how could he not know this place"
"Whatever, He is going to die anyway, This is the Requiem Judgement Palace for the sinful. Be glad that you are still alive, most die right away when they come here after all."
Hearing this, Liam's colorful world of the Outside had all but vanished, it is now twisted to the very core.
"What-? Why? What did I do? I wasn't even able to look outside, why am I?"
"Right right, you can shut up, we are not gonna sympathize with you even if you told you you are fake, we fired enough people for doing these kinds of shitty things"
"That's not- ahh fuck, forget it"
"Oh right, you're going to the head researchers lab after this, enjoy your hell, prisoner 456".
The guards smiled so deviously that even Liam who was still not able to see anything can feel the intensity of the situation he is in.
As such the first day of Liam's outings has ended.
