Chapter 1: 'I still want to live...'

A/N:

Hello everyone! *bows* Uhh, I'll get real. I'm a rookie when it comes to writing, so I don't know how to approach people,

I guess I'm kinda anti-social?? but hope that everyone don't mind my mistakes, I mean, everyone makes mistakes, so I'm open when it comes to this. I'm also not an English speaker, but I get better through help and mistakes. So I was thinking about weather or not to add romance, and for now, it's without romance, if I add romance, then there'll be influence on the main story, but, there will be some side characters that have romance, so it's like 50/50? probably.  Another thing is that this story might have some confusion, it also has some names that might sound familiar, not fanfic, but something else, so I'll try to make it as understandable as possible. If there is anything that doesn't make sense, please tell me through comments or other means, and I'll respond to you as soon as I possibly can. Now hope

you enjoy! :P

It was dark, a very dark and cold place, actually, it was a dark

matter, he was too used to this feeling to the point were it's

starting to get really annoying, it might sound sudden, but, he just

died.

'...again.'

The man has lost his own past, there were no memories left, only

things like the name of his world he was born in, he started to

miss his old life, he was sure that it wasn't a good one, otherwise,

how can he end up here? This world were it rebuilds itself, and he

goes back reincarnating into whatever as a task, it kept repeating like

this, and he started believing that this 'game-system' was broken, he

was literally loosing memories of what was happening, it definitely

wants him to completely lose memories to the point were there was

only a blank, almost mindless like some zombie, he was starting to

have that feeling. And then there was a place he thought about...

"Home."

His home, a house full of warmth was the best type of home,

there were no memories of it, but he wanted to remember

the feeling, he was in a cold place after all...

Thinking about his past life, he was sure that it wasn't a good one,

but he thought it was better than dying and living again and

again, an almost never ending cycle, as he kept going forward, he

felt apathy, helplessness, loneliness, he lost his track of time, lost his

name, home, everything. It doesn't matter if he lived again, his happiness

would disappear once more, and his loneliness continued to make

him go at the verge of loosing his sanity...

'When will this cycle end?'

He kept asking this question almost every time he lives once again, and

the only hope he has now was this floating light-blue screen that was

on his face, written:

'Starting the reincarnation of the no. 2001/9999 world...'

'Beginning the count down: 10..9..8..'

But it was also the reason why he wants to die even more, it feels

like all his hopes will get crushed soon...

'7..6..'

A man with no reason to live anymore, what can he

accomplish if he was a dead man from the start? All he could do now

was wait 'till nothing was left, 'till he forgets again that this ever

happened, he was starting to get sick of everything...

'..4..3.....'

.......

"ha, What happ-?"

'The reincarnation has paused temporarily, the host has received his

first rewards for achieving 2000 times of reincarnation, the reward

usually drops items or skills necessary for the host's situation. would

you like to open the reward box?

Yes/No'

Reading the words on the screen, his face had the look of saying

'what the fuck is this?' he was kind of confused, many questions

started popping in his head, but he immediately shook them off, it

was not the time to think about what was happening, but what was

his situation, he smiled and said 'yes' without any hesitation.

'Opening the reward box...'

Although it was weird for this to happen all at once, he felt for the

first time in awhile, a feeling that makes the heart race, having

expectation, and. Motivation. He felt like he missed this feeling, it

was a much better feeling than apathy, helplessness and loneliness, he

felt being alive, he wanted to feel it even before dying at anytime,

he really wanted to experience it one more time, being a new person,

a much better person, he wants to feel it a bit longer, but sadly, it

left as soon as it came, and in front of him, a white box was

shining in the dark space, like a small candle lighting the whole room,

this was his only hope, his last hope, what will it be for tomorrow?

The box slowly opened, it disappeared and two items dropped, one

was a glass bottle with orange-gold liquid inside, the other was an

iron wrench, looking at the two items floating in midair in front of

him, he pondered, but couldn't understand their use, then another

light-blue screen appeared, it said:

'Host should drink the bottle to help with the damaged brain, though

it helps curing the damage, the lost memories will be regained very

slowly, this is due to the type of the drug, it is low in tier. You

can't get this item anywhere else, this is due to the difficulty and

luck of the host, there is 0.1 chance of gaining this drug again, so

please use it for yourself.'

Seeing this, he couldn't help but drink as fast as he could, after

drinking the drug, he felt a warm tingling sensation spread all around

his body, he felt addicted, after that, he glanced to his right, the

wrench was still floating, this one actually confused him more than

the liquid drug, why does he even need a wrench?? As if the system

heard his question, it answered him immediately:

'The wrench is used to fix broken things, anything is possible to fix

using this wrench, the host originally wanted to fix something, but

due to the brain damage, he has forgotten what it was to fix.'

'Fix...? Back then, was I stupid or something?'

Then he thought about it but carefully this time, after a few

minutes his eyelids jumped, he started smiling and said.

'No, no. I'm the stupid one. Why didn't I realize this earlier?'

The man realized that it was actually to fix the system, it was ironic

how it got him something to fix the system itself, he asked for

instructions from the system and smiled to himself as the hammer

was trying to fix the system screen.

A few minutes as he was sitting, waiting for the wrench to finish it's

job, he suddenly felt mentally exhausted, a screen popped up and he

read what it said, but this gave him a headache...

'The damage is starting to heal, as this happens, it makes the host

feel mentally in pain or exhausted. It is recommended for the host

to rest, the next reincarnation will continue as the count down will

continue shortly after this process...'

The stiff body muscles relaxed, so as the nerves, he laid down on a

transparent surface in a sleeping position, as he was looking at the

light-blue screen, he smiled bitterly, his eyes became watery as he

slowly closed his eyes.

'I see...'

'I'm still not willing to die.'

He opened his eyes, his sight turned dark and his consciousness slowly

drifted away...

***

It was morning, how? In a room, filled with wooden boxes- actually,

almost everything was made out of wood, there were windows in the

sides, a door in the front, stairs in the back, a table in a corner, and

a fat and short boy on a wooden chair in the middle of the room, he

seems to be asleep.

Well, now that the sunlight reflected on his head, the boy woke up,

he tried moving his hand to cover the spot the sunlight hit, but was

tied up on a chair, this surprised the boy, although he might look fat

and short, he was actually the man who was sleeping earlier, he

reincarnated into a fat boy.

Ding!

When the boy responded to the sound by looking up, he saw a screen

on his face, it said:

'Side Quest (1): escape from the pirates

Information about the quest:
