Sensory input, I missed you so much. I am so happy that I have you back, that I might just ignore the fact that I am surrounded by a bunch of armed knights in the middle of a citadel without being able to control my body. Just might though because what in the seven seas is going on in here mate.

[Where the hell am I?]

Good question questionable Bracket-Person. Where the hell are we? And what the hell is going on with my vision. My body is not just unresponsive, it’s definitely moving against my will, by that I mean it is just looking around but too fast for my taste.

The things I do kind of see are a group of people next to me, a crying girl, an old man behind the knights wearing a crown, a bunch of pointy swords being pointed towards us and of course my arms, that are surprisingly tan, slowly moving towards my temple against my will.

“Who are you?” I hear my own body say. The Asian dude in the smoking looked at me very confused too.

Well that’s a good question Body-san. I am Sam. Are you my body that suddenly gained sentience planning to take revenge on your mind and prior master forcing him into the slave role? Will I be forced to do hard math quizzes for the rest of my life?

“What the hell are you talking about?” My voice sounds a lot more feminine than I remember.

“Are you ok ma’am?”

Look body. Boddy? You confused the poor boy. Now he thinks I lost it. Maybe I did. Wait ma’am?

“Oh sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you. I am Liyah but can’t you hear that extremely annoying voice?”

Annoying??

“Brian,” he says reaching a hand towards my body, which I involuntarily take, “What voice?”

[Am I losing it?]

Maybe you are Brackets. Are you Boddy-san?

[Can you hear what I think? What are you doing in my head?]

I am Sam and I think you are wrong. This is my head. I think.

“Welcome chosen summons. I am William the King of this nation. This world, I promise you, is quite different than your old one as it is one of magic and wonder!”

Please use them. It gets very confusing, said the system.

Not like this, it added

[What robotic voice was that?] asked my Boddy in thought very confusingly.

[Why are you calling me Boddy? My name is Liyah,] thought Liyah I guess?

Hi Liyah. I am Sam, recently reincarnated into your body. Are you by any chance pregnant?

“We have dragons! The last visitors apparently very much were in awe with that fact. This is a world of endless possibilities!” the King continues. I think only Brian really cares at this point. That one girl still didn’t stop crying and the other guy is very much just staring at the air.

[I am not pregnant!]

Are you sure? Maybe you are now. I think this is how reincarnation works right?

“We have a great healthcare system insuring your wellbeing in all cases of sickness and injuries. Our dental plan is the best on this side of the Great Rift…,” the King continues.

“King Wilhelm!” said the Hans look in the air, “The Gods sent me here to banish the Demon menace from your rightful country! We are the chosen adventurers gifted with incredible might.”

Wait what? [Wait what?] “Wait what?” That was Brian. The other girl just continued sobbing.

“The Gods did?” the King said very unsure, “Well if they did then I won’t need to continue this farce. Report to Sergeant Jumper to start your training. Somebody lead them to the barracks.”

[What just happened?]

The King is leaving. I think we are soldiers now.

[Good. I thought I was already going crazy.]

“Sorry guys I really get tired of all this exposition, so I tried to get this moving a bit faster,” said the boy that just drafted us, “I am Tom but my ingame name is Zellyxer. The Devs taught me a bit about vocal commands before coming in here. I can’t wait to see how the tutorial is gonna be like.”

I think he thinks this is a game. Poor Tom.

“Hi. I am Brian,” said Brian. Very polite boy. I like him.

“Celine.” That was the sobbing girl. We totally won’t get tired of that crying after 2 more chapters. Oh shit. He is looking at us now.

“Liyah. Why did you talk of this as a game?”

Smooth. Straight to the point.

“I know it is so much more! I am just extremely excited to be able to be one of the few beta testers. And I know no talking IRL because it ruins the immersion,” said Zellyxer pointing to one of the guards waving at us, “Hey our guide is here.”

[I think this guy lost it.]

You are talking to a voice in your head. We got accustomed to this quite fast. Just in 840 words.

[I just roll with the punches. What about you?]

Not my first no body experience. I can’t wait till you birth me one though.

[I still am not pregnant.]

Sure. So, we are just gonna follow the dude who calls himself Zellyxer? You have nothing to say against that?

[What else should we do? Let’s just follow that weirdo. Maybe the instructor can help us.]

Good point.
