POV (???)
'Hmmnn…..'
'This place is really cold. Why is it so cold? Arghhhh, this feeling really makes me feel sleepy.'
'It really feels comfortable. I really want to continue to sleep.'
'Ummnn, it really feels damp. Did it rain when I was asleep? This means that the rain must be really heavy for it to reach my bed.'
'I should go and close the window before my clothes get really wet from the rainwater. But I do not want to get up, I want to continue to sleep.'
'Where did I put my handphone again? Ah… it's in my pocket.'
'My leg really feels heavy. Oh no, I still wear the shoes. Forgot to open it before going to bed. Arghh… did I feel too sleepy that I forgot to open it?'
"This bed, why does it feel so hard? Did I fall off from the bed?"
'Looks like I really fell off the bed. I am not a kid anymore, I should not do that. I do not think that I had a nightmare for me to fall off the bed.'
'Urghhh… my head. Why do I feel my head is uncomfortable? It feels really hurt. Did I sleep too long? I do not think so.'
'Huh… this really did make me remember that time when I slept too long because I did not want to get up and even tested how long I could sleep. Then I really got a huge and big present as a reward that occupied me for three days and three nights. The present was in the form of a headache. It really made me mad at that time; every time there was a sound, my head felt throbbing, like I was gonna die. When that happened, I do not know how much I cursed at that time. I swear I am not gonna do that again.'
'Ummnn…'
'Oh… looks like that damn headache is coming again. Arghhh… this really makes me feel so frustrated.'
Ah… now I remember, last night I slept really late to finish that assignment. Arghhh… damn, is it not that thing that makes my head feel like it's splitting with this headache.
'Hahhh… looks like I am gonna feel this hell again for a few days.'
'Why? Why? Whyyyyyy? Do I need to bear this? This really makes me want to tear up.'
'Hmnnn… what the?'
'Urghhh…'
'My head… it feels like something wants to intrude into my head.'
"This is not a headache. What the hell is happening?"
'This is not only the feeling of pain, this… how do I say it?'
'It's like a bird, my body feels lighter as time passes.'
'Ahh… this! Did I die? Haih, so this is how the feeling of dying.'
'Is this what it feels like when your soul and body separate?'
'Nothing that I think can explain why I feel lighter.'
'That pain in my head… it really hurts.'
'The pain in the head, the pain in the head…'
'Oh, I know about this thing. I came across it when I searched for the presentation of the case study.'
'Hahhhhh… did it really the one that caused my death?'
'Haih… blood clotting in the head, is it?'
It is caused by a blood clot in the brain. This action then cuts off the supply of oxygen to the brain. It further causes the brain cells to die because they do not receive oxygen. Each cell in the human body needs oxygen, with the exception of the skin that is formed of dead cells. This is followed by paralysis and headache. The cause of it is the death of the brain cells that control the movement of the body. The other symptoms depend on which brain cells die.
'This thing can cause death silently without much noise. Well, if I could do an MRI maybe I could check this symptom and prevent it.'
'Even though I said that, not like I have money to do an MRI.'
'To service that machine is really not in the small amount.'
'Did I really die like that? Huh, so lame.'
'Well, nothing can be done as I already died.'
My body then felt like it was pulled upward and there was a light that was getting closer and closer. This light was getting bigger and bigger as I was pulled closer to it.
"What is this light? My eyes should have been closed. Arghhh… so bright."

"Is this the afterlife?"
He then tried to open his eyes to see the surrounding. This was to confirm if it was really true that he had really died.
The light shone from the front of ???. Although ???'s eyes were closed, he could still see that light. The light was a white light that shone from the front. The light then enveloped ???'s body and illuminated the surroundings. The surrounding ??? could be seen clearly. Even though the light illuminated, he could only see…
"White at the front."
"White at the side."
"White at the back."
"What the hell is this? Arghh… I am gonna fall. Help?????"
The surrounding space was only filled with whiteness. No matter how far he looked, as far as the eye could see, only white color could be seen. Not only that, when he looked at his feet, he could only see white. Not that the color of the floor was white—there wasn't even a floor. He felt really scared that he was gonna fall off.
"Did I transfer into the sky? Oh no, this is bad."
He then tried to flap his hands like a chicken, but he felt nothing was happening. Then he realized that there was no air pressure. Not only was there no air pressure, there was no wind that one feels when falling from a high height. Then he tried to move his legs and realized that he was floating.
"Is this really the afterlife? I really feel like I am still full of life. Well, if this really is the afterlife, then it can explain why I can fly in the sky. Well, for now let's fly around."
He then tried to move around the place to see whether he could reach the wall of this space.
Firstly, he tried using his mind and commanding it to move to the front. As expected, it failed.
Secondly, he shouted out loud, "Move to the front!" but it still failed.
Thirdly, he tried moving his body to the front by using the momentum of his body. This was done by raising the right leg to the back and, while doing that, shifting his upper body slightly and pushing it to the front. Using this, he successfully moved to the front, but it only propelled him almost 1 meter.
Doing more of this would tire him, so he stopped doing it and gave up trying. Then he decided to take a nap. Although it was not comfortable, what more could he do when there was nothing he could do in this place?
While he decided to take a nap, there was a sound akin to a bell of a clock tower in London that he remembered from a movie he had watched before.
Ding…
"What's that sound?"
He tried looking around to find the source of the sound. Even though he looked around, the surroundings were still nothing but whiteness. He felt this was not good and had a feeling that someone would talk and he must pay attention.
"Congratulations, you are our lucky one to have been selected into our world. You will undergo closed beta as the beta tester for this world. Your mission is to eliminate the threat that caused the war. For your information, if you die in this world, you will die for real. That's all, goodbye."
The voice then stopped talking. He felt dumbfounded by what the voice was talking about. The surrounding light began to dim as the voice stopped speaking. He felt his body being pulled downward, and this was not just his feeling because his body was indeed moving downward as the light dimmed and darkness filled the surroundings.
Then he became really enraged because of what the voice said.
'Die, die for real. No way this.'
Then he felt like tearing up and he screamed as hard as he could.
'Damn, damn, damn, this, this, this…'
'Arghhhhhh… I will not let you go when I get you. I'm gonna beat you up when I get my hands on you, I will cut you up. What the hell you mean lucky? Is this not bad luck?'
Then, as his anger reached its limit, he screamed:
"I am gonna fuck you!!!!"
"Ehhh?" (???)
There was a girl in front of him at that time.
