Hi everyone, it’s me! The guy who just got beat up in the middle of the city...
Now that I think about it, I have not introduced myself. Greetings, my name is Vart de Sith. I know, it’s a weird name, and I blame my parents for that. They said that ‘something else’ is coming out when my mother gave birth to me, thus I am stuck with that name. I don’t really want to imagine it. Anyway, let’s move on.
I am just your average teenager who loved to play games, read manga, watch anime, and does any other thing that is usually done by another average teenager. I like those show with action, fighting, and adventure genre. But then again, even if I like it, doesn’t mean that I could do it. No, I have never trained in any martial arts in some kickass dojo with multiple masters with twisted personalities, whose obsession is to create the strongest disciple. Heck, in the modern day like now, who the heck in their right mind would undergo some training to kick some bad guy ass?
When a person get bullied in school, they didn’t learn some martial arts just to get their revenge. They will either just stop going to school, or keep going to school everyday while silently accepting the beating, or ask their parent to change school. Or suicide. Yes, the last part really does happen often.
Reporting the bullies to the teachers are mostly useless, since they will only say stuff like ‘Fight them back, don’t let them know you are scared’ or ‘I will talk to them’ but never really does anything. In case they did, the bullying will still continues. In fact, they will have more reason to beat you up.
Why am I talking about that, you say? You see, I myself was a victim. Tried the 4th option. Too scared of the pain, and ended up failing. In the end, I became a shut-in and never really communicate with other people again. My only salvation was games, manga, anime, and internet. I could act like a badass in the internet, trolling people and doing shits all over there, and it’s fun!
Yeah, I know, I am a failure.
Well then, I believe you guys already have some rough understanding about me. So let us start the story for real.
***
This is not a dream.
I already realized that fact.
The pain did not go away, rather, it is getting worse. My mouth is bleeding, bruises is all over my body. Both of my hands is chained up to the wall.
Right now, I am currently in a prison-like room. It’s so dark and damp, I couldn’t even see past 1 meter ahead. Obviously, I am afraid of what comes next.
After the city guards drag me around, with some of them kicking my body in the way here, they put me in this room. They didn’t even gave me food, drink, or treatment. It seems like few hours has passed, but I don’t really know.
What would happen to me now? Why am I in this situation in the first place? What would my parents think when they found out that their own son is missing? ....nah, they probably didn’t care about that. One less person to support, they might even throw a party right now.
Oh, I could hear some footsteps. It seems so far away, but gradually coming closer.
Shit, it’s so scary! Imagine a scene in a horror movie, inside a dark haunted mansion, when some unknown being is approaching the main character.
Damn it’s getting closer! If it really is a ghost or a monster coming here, I might have ended up pissing my pants and shat myself.
....Okay, I admit, I already did the first one, but I definitely didn’t shat myself!
The footsteps is getting louder and louder, and it stops in front of my prison cell. Then I heard some clicking sound, it seems like they opened the lock.
“HEY, WHO SAID YOU COULD SLEEP!?”
*Pah!*
The guy slaps my face, damn, it hurts! But wait a minute, who said I’m sleeping? I am perfectly awake, is he blind?
“...ay am awek, sir...”
*Pah!*
Again, the fucking dude slaps my face. What the fucking fuck!?
“WHO SAID YOU COULD TALK BACK TO ME, HUH!?”
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
For some minutes, this guy keeps hitting my face and body. I could only screams in pain and crying like a lil bitch.
“...heh....heh...how do you feel, brat? Did you like your new ‘eyesight’? Or rather, could you even see me? HAHAHAHAHAH!!”
Huh? What did he meant by... hey wait a minute, there is something wrong here! Why do I couldn’t see the guy who is still beating me right now? Now that I think about it, if I couldn’t see past 1 meter ahead of me, then how could this guy came here without bringing a candle or someth.... no, no way, there is no fucking way...
“......wad... hapen.... ma eye....?”
“Oh, so you really haven’t realized it yet? Then let me tell you, punk, you are fucking blind right now! When you’re still unconscious, our mages casts a high-level darkness spell to rob your eyesight permanently! And, you wont be getting it back, EVER!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!”
“.....!!!”
Very surprised, I am. For a while, I couldn’t think of anything. I couldn’t hear his ramble anymore. I couldn’t even scream.
This is just too sudden... too cruel... what did I do to deserve this treatment...?
After what seems like eternity, his voice brought my consciousness back from the deepest part of my mind.
“Get him out of here, we will interrogate him in front of the warden!”
“Yes, sir!”
One of them unlocked my chains, grabs my hair, then starts dragging my body to another part of the prison. With the last of my strength, I desperately tried to mutter:
“...........gill me....”
Then everything goes black.
.....Well, technically, everything is already black for me, but you know......
***
Right now, I am standing in a white space.
Don’t ask me how, I don’t even know it myself.
Oh wait, I can see again? Sweet, but maybe I am already dead, and this is the afterlife. Not cool, not cool at all...
Hm, what is that? There is something... someone... or whatever it is, standing in the distance. Oh, seems like it’s a guy, except he doesn’t have any body features, and covered in pixels.
Eh, it seems like he is waving and smiling at me therWHAT THE FUCKING FUCK!! HIS FACE, HIS FUCKING FACE SUDDENLY APPEARED IN FRONT OF MY OWN FACE!!
Out of surprise, I did two fucking backflip. I can honestly said that it was the most atlethic shit that i have ever done in all my life. Well, in my afterlife.
Seriously, who wouldn’t get surprised when there is someone, far away from where you are standing, suddenly teleport and shows up with his creepy smile, right in front of your face, as if he want to kiss you!?
“Haha, relax, that was just my greetings, Vart de Sith.”
That guy really have a weird voice, it’s just like the voice in a radio with bad signals.
“W-w-w-who are you? Why do you know my name?”
“Why do I know your name, you say? Hmm, I just know it? As for myself, I have many names. Care to guess? Heheh.”
This guy is reaaaaaally suspicious. Oh right, this is the afterlife. Maybe he is a God? That explains it then. But wait a minute, this setting seems similar with something else, what was it... I forgot, hmm.
White space.
Pixel guy.
Creepy smile.
All-knowing.
God.
Holy....
“....shit, you are Hitogami!!”
“Hito what? I think you are the first one to call me with that name, hmm.”
“Don’t lie to me, I know about all of your tricks! You are trying to make me believe you, and then manipulates me behind my back, aren’t you!?”
“Wait, what...?”
“Fuck off, Human God! Let me rest in peace already!”
“......um, I think there is a misunderstanding here....”
“....what?”
“First, I am not Human God, but Digital God. And honestly, I have never heard of some God with that kind of name or title. Second, you are still alive, and currently being dragged to be interrogated...”
Eh? So I am still being tortured in that hell?
“Isn’t Digital God a robot-like being made of supercomputer which could shoot vines out of it’s body, and is named Yggdrasil?”
“Wrong series.”
“Oh.”
