Note : this... i don't even know how am i able to write something like this....
well, enjoy the chapter.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hurray, it seems that I am still alive, and that is always a good news. And shit, that is also a bad news, since I will be getting tortured again.
Noticing my dillema, the self-proclaimed Digital God taps my shoulder and gave me some encouragement.
“Don't worry, I know that life is hard, but everything is going to be alright.” He said that with that creepy smile of his.
“What do you mean by 'everything is going to be alright'? For fuck's sake, I am getting tortured and almost died with no clear reasoning!”
I mean, how could he said that? He's just like any other unreasonable adults out there. God my ass. Oh wait, he is a God, isn't he? He should've known something about my situation, right?
“Hey, so...”
“I know what you are going to ask, but please at least hear me first, okay?”
This dude could read my mind, isn't he?
“You only got to know my title in the last chapter, so I will fully introduce myself to you right now.”
Man, he actually breaks 4th wall just like that, can you believe it!? Oh yeah, I did that too... sorry, please continue.
“My name is 01, the only one of my kind, the creator and the ruler of this universe, and also.... the one who brought you here in the first place.”
So, he really is a God? And not some minor one, but the creator and ruler too? Man, this is just the 3rd chapter and BOOM, there goes the biggest revelation from the strongest being in the universe. I wonder where is this story going in the future...
It seems similar like when I'm playing a game, then right after the tutorial is over, the last boss came and challenges me.
And…....did he just said that he is the one who brought me here?
“WHY!?”
“Um, please calm down, I am not done yet with my explanation.”
“Calm down my ass! You have no idea how GREAT is my situation, right after I came in that fucking town!”
“I know about your situation, and I don't think that it was a great situation, if I may say so. Except, you are a masochist.”
“IT IS SARCASM YOU DUMBFUCK!”
Oh God, this God is so stupid. Please God, send your heavenly tribulation and burn him into cinders! Wait, he's the God here, did I just ask him to kill himself? Actually, is that possible?
“No, that is impossible, I am basically an Immortal and cannot die.”
“STOP READING MY MIND!!”
Dealing with this stupid ass is really tiring me off. And he just confirmed my suspicion that he could actually read my mind! So, I didn't really need to speak out loud, am I right?
“Yes, but for easier reading purpose, please use quotation marks when you talk to someone, and use your inner monologue when you are explaining things to the reader.”
I am so done with this shit.

“So, my reason to brought you here to my universe, is actually to save you.” 01's explanation of my current situation continues.
“How nice, thanks. Your benevolence had given me an unforgettable experience, like, getting tortured to death, maybe?”
“That's why I said I am sorry, didn't I? You should be glad, hmph!?” He said that while crossing his arms and lifting his chin. What the heck...
“Why are you.... no, nevermind. Please continue, oh my Almighty God.”
I will be exhausted to death if I keep making tsukkomies whenever he does something, so for now I will just listen to him patiently.
“Haha, don't be mad, I was just joking. Well, the torture part isn't my joke tho...”
“So tell me, what did you save me from? As I remember correctly, I was just chilling in my own room.”
“I see, so you don't remember. Well, it'd be weird if you actually remember though.”
Remember? Remember what? This is starting to get ridiculous. And scary. Did I have amnesia or something?
“No, it is not something like amnesia. You were just dead.”
“Uh? I don't quite get about what you meant by that? Didn't you said it yourself before, that I am still alive and currently getting dragged to be interogated?”
“I was talking about your body in the other world. Your body in this world is still... well, not dead yet.”
“...Could you please enlighten me about what the fuck are you talking about? I am pretty sure that I have not been doing anything that could make me dead.”
“You did, once. 1 year ago.”
One year, hmm, what was I doing one year ago? If I remember it correctly, I am still going to school regularly at.... ah, I see. Indeed, I did something stupid and dangerous last year. But what is the connection it has with my current predicament?
“You are talking about how I tried to jump from the roof of my school?”
“Yes, that. And it is not 'tried to jump', you did jump from there.”
Eh? What does he meant by that? I don't recall ever jumped from that roof, since I am too afraid to do that. Hmm, maybe this is what he meant by 'I don't remember'?
“But I remember it clearly, because I am too afraid of the pain, I just go home and lock myself in my room... and that's how my shut-in life began.”
That's not something that I could be proud of...
“That's where you were wrong.You're actually jumped down and hit your head in the ground. Since then, you were always unconscious.”
You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.
“Hah? What do you mean by always unconscious? You do know that I lived for a full year, playing games and did many things in my own room, right?”
Somehow, I already know the answer of my questions, but I don't want to believe it! I mean, come on, that shit only happens on drama or anime!
01 smiled to me and said:
“I see, you already know the answer, aren't you?”
No. I don't know. I don't wanna know. I am perfectly alright. I see, this is just a dream too. All of this is just my hallucination, there is no such thing as Digital God. Yes, since the start, where I suddenly appeared in the middle of Colate City, until now, everything was just a dream.
There is no way my life story could be that dark, isn't it?
Haha.
Ha.
Fuck.
“I am actually in a coma for a long time, and my shut-in life are just an imagination created by my brain, is that right?”
He didn't answer my question. 01 only smiled at me. I know, he knows that my question isn't really a question. I just want someone to said that my thoughts are wrong.
Then, I noticed that there are 2 people standing behind 01. A man, and a woman, both of them are smiling at me. Their face seems familiar. It's the face that I keep seeing everyday in my whole life. Yeah, they are my parents.
But their body seems transparent.
Hm? Why does everything suddenly became so blurry?
“01, this space seems to be warped.”
“Nope, Vart, there is nothing wrong with this space.”
He answered while grinning widely.
Right, this space is perfectly fine. The cause of this blurriness is water. There are waters flowing out of my eyes. Simply put, I am crying.
“Both of your parents here, keeps praying everyday for their only son. When they heard that you fell from the roof, they immediately came over and made sure that you get the best medical treatment. Unfortunately, your condition is too severe, and it is almost impossible for you to get back to normal.
“Even then, your parents didn't stop treating you. Eventually, their praying reaches my dimension. Alas, I couldn't help you directly, since that world is not under my control. I could only gave a little touch to your soul, and made it so that you can see what you wish to see. Thus, your shut-in life began. Though I really do wonder, how can someone had a wish like that, but it's not my place to judge your hobby anyway....
“Sadly, everything must come to an end. Both of your parents died in a car accident when they were going to visit you in the hospital.Using that as an opportunity, I grab their soul and brought it back to this dimension. I asked both of them, do they want their son to be brought to my world and start a new life?”
01 let out a little laugh and continues his story.
“You know what? They didn't even hesitate to answer it, they'd even beg me to give you the best all I could do. They'd even offer their souls to me. In the end, I brought your soul to this world, while maintaining your physical feature from your old world. But as I was about to do that, the God of your old world detected my activities, and he thinks that I came to his world to wreak havoc. So he put something in your soul that made me unable to do something to you when you just came to this world. For that, once again, I am sorry.”
For a while, I let the tears flow my cheeks while listening to 01's story.
There is so much information that I can't process it all in one go. But at least I know a fact, that my parents didn't abandon me. It's me who's abandoning them. I crushed their life, because of my own selfishness.
Both in my dream, and in reality, it seems like no matter what, I always made my parents feels dissapointed.
Haha, I am such an asshole, and a failure of a son.
“Oh right, as your both of your parents still wish to protect you, even in their death, I modified their souls into 2 balls of energy that will give you protection in this world. Wait a minute, I will fuse it with your soul.”
Right after 01 said that, the figures of my parents turn into respectively, a ball of red and blue. Then, those orbs are flying towards me, and spins around my body. I wonder why it feels so warm, and it actually made me cried even louder.
After a while, those 2 orbs goes into my chest.
Then I cried like a little child.
***
A long time has passed, and I have succeeded in calming my feelings.
I stood up and face 01.
“...what, do you think I should do...?”
He approaches me while smiling, and stand besides me. And then he said:
“How about becoming a God and rule the universe?”

Author's Note : Hi everyone, I just want to say, thank you for reading my story. I know, it's a fucked up story. Actually, I don't even have a plan about each chapter. I only started to think about it when I am already in front of my keyboard, so the story is kinda, well, goes with the flow.
Lastly, please give me an honest review about my story, and some advices about where this story should've been going. As i have said before, i didn't even have an ending planned....
Once again, thank you.
