[Uuuugh...]
I nearly threw up, but I managed to hold it in.
I shouldn't have drunk so much at the party. I shouldn't have, but I just couldn't control myself.
I mean, what asshole you need to be to invite someone to the party where they barely know a soul
and then leave them at the entrance, because some chick called them for a "talk"...
It will be fun, he said. It will be unforgettable, he said. Yeah, maybe for you.
Anyway, I need to get to the bus stop as soon as possible,
I have a test tomorrow and I don't want to miss it when I studied so much for it.
Let's see, 00:04 huh ?
I have around 30 minutes before the last bus.
.....
The bus stop should be around here somewhere, right ?
..... right ?
O.MY.GOD. Don't tell me that I just got lost, please...
Ugh, I should have paid more attention to my surroundings when I come here.
Huh ? What's this white line on the road? Maybe a line for bicycles, I guess?
And who the hell is shining that light into my eyes, I can't see shit because of it!
Hmm? Wait...
Something isn't right here...
[Welcome, please choose one of the options]
Suddenly, a voice out of nowhere started talking to me. No way, am I hallucinating now !?
But all I drank was beer and a little bit of wine, did maybe someone put something into my drink ?
Great, this night is becoming better and better...
[Please choose one of the options]
The voice said again. It was a woman's voice. Probably an adult but I'm not sure because it's was so cold and monotone...
Remind me of a girl I met at the party. She was bored as hell, came there only because of a friend.
We had a great time complaining about it, and then even exchanged numbers...
[Please choose one of the options]
The voice said again.... aaaah, I'm feel sleepy...
[Ya, ya, stop yapping. What are the options...]
I asked. This is going nowhere, might as well go with the flow... Where am I anyway?
[Acknowledged]

HAA ? What the hell is this ?
I'm starting to think that I actually already passed out on my way to a bus stop... and now I'm having a really weird dream...
Not like this is the first time something like this happened to me, but still...
something just doesn't feel right...
A hologram-like projection appeared in front of me. This definitely looks like a game screen.

I wonder why am I dreaming about a game, I'm not that much of a gamer, to be honest...
Well, I go along for now. I press [Create new world].
[Acknowledged]
The voice replied in the same cold and monotone way.
[[Load old profile] [Create new profile]]
Eeeeh? I'm tempted to see what is the first choice, but I always start the game from the beginning, sooo...
I press [Create new profile].
[Acknowledged]
[Please choose the name for the new world [new name]]
[Please choose the difficulty [default]]
The voice said as two new hologram-like projections appeared in front of me.
Hmm, with the name, let's go with something simple and easy to remember. As for difficulty, I wonder which options there are...
I pressed the [new name] and a new projection appeared below the first one. It looks like a keyboard...
For the name I wrote "Roshar" and then I pressed on [default] as new projection appeared below it.
[[Easy] [Normal] [Hard] [Very Hard]]
I always play on easy or normal, it's not that I can't handle the challenge,
but I simply don't have that much free time to play a game nowadays...
Studying and all, is this why I'm having this dream ?
Anyway, I pressed [Normal]...

[[Yes] [No]]
Eeeeh ? wait, wait, wait...
This is throwing red flags all over the place!!! What did the voice said anyway ?
I couldn't understand a thing, there was just too much information thrown at me all at once...
What the hell is "world isopoda" anyway ?! No way I'm gonna play as a race I haven't a clue about...
It didn't even start yet there are errors occurring already ?
Patch this shit up, dammit.
Even for a early access, this is below 0/10 !!!
Ugh, why the hell am I dreaming about this anyway ?
I'm done, where's the [Quit] button ?!
[Please choose one of the options]
The voice said, making me even more annoyed...
There isn't any [Quit] button around... How do I wake up from this nightmare ?
Do I really need to use the good old "pinch the cheek" method ?
No, wait. If I think about it, the mysterious voice responded to my voice at the beginning... Maybe...
[Quit]
...
..
.
[Quit]
The mysterious voice did not respond. This is making me even more annoyed, like I didn't have a bad day already...
[Quit, Exit, Ctrl-alt-Del...]
Nothing is working, looks like I need to use that...
[Ouch... AAAAAH !!!]
I did it with all my strength, but I still didn't wake up...
What's more, my cheeks are so painful on fire, what's going on here ?!
I shouldn't feel any pain in a dream, at least not this realistically...
[err, excuse me ?]
Suddenly, the mysterious voice responded and it didn't sound cold and monotone as before.
It catched me completely off guard, and I reflexively replied with [Yes ?]
[Acknowledged]
[The answer [Yes] has been selected]
