"Huh? is this??? oh!! did I got reincarnated?"
In the vast darkness where not even a speck of light can be seen, a youth was floating, like a ghost.
"oh, so I'm not reincarnated? Hmm, what was that called about? hmm, so I'm not in a solid form so, I'm just a soul?"
the youth keeps mumbling in the darkness.
"That's kinda yeah, I don't know, I don't even know what souls look like, but let's just call myself a soul"
"so what am I doing here? any clues? system or what? hello!"
the youth shouted at the top of his lungs...for a whole 5 minutes....
"damn, I was just feigning ignorance so maybe someone will appear and tell me why am I here, tsk, should I just explore? yeah if I don't want my self gets bored to death"
the youth was called Ji Sen he was from the earth, a die-hard fan of cultivation and reincarnation. he was just nineteen when he was introduced to the light novel, he started reading until he become addicted to it until he reach twenty he died because of his nonstop reading. whether it's night or day, he almost didn't stop until he died sigh...anyway
While roaming in the endless darkness for some time, he suddenly felt that he wasn't moving at all.
"what the hell, I just want to roam!"
"oh"
He suddenly remembered that he didn't feel anything so, why did he felt that he wasn't moving? the surrounding was just pitch black, a thought passed through Ji's mind, so, he started pondering by observing his surroundings, suddenly running and stopping, then running even tho he was just floating one would think he's a madman.
"Oh, I got it...I think. it should be because of darkness, right, because the darkness is the only thing I see, it became an illusion, I didn't think of it before waking up because of the vast darkness, my mind didn't think I was moving but I was moving, it just my mind doing such thought."
As he kept mumbling about, a voice scared the soul of him to death.
"nihao, what are you doing"
"what the!"
The voice terrified him, what's more, the voice that suddenly sounded was behind his ear, it was hoarse and irie just like in a horror movie, tho it sounded like a meme.
Ji immediately turned around to see who was the owner of that voice. and what he sees makes his back run cold, it's because it is a head, without a body. he unconsciously distances himself from it, as he calms himself down he looks at the face once more it looks like a kid from Chucky, from a horror movie that he watched when he was young under the chair because he was scared of it. he soon discovered that the face was a bit off, the face was big, the size was about the of a standard fan, sensing the oddity of the thing in front of him, he moved sideways and he discovered that it looked like a cube.
"what on earth, you scared my soul to death you know?'
Ji exclaimed in surprise again after seeing this weird thing. he was about to complain when the creepy voice resounded once more.
"hehe, I was just scaring you, btw, my name is Blu, and I'm here to be your guide" the creepy-looking cube move forward to scare him. but Ji was so faster than light, a bit scared"
"damn you back then I wasn't even able to finish the movie because that really scared the sh*t out of me, yet you want to move close to me? not a chance."
"so you're a system?" Ji asks cautiously.
"yes," Blu replied.
"Oh, so where I am?" Ji asks.
"I know, in a river," Blu said in a smug tone.
Ji was a bit stunned after hearing what Blu said, 'where's the damn river?' so he just asked curiously.
"what do you mean?" Blu asks back
"you're drowning," Blu said with a smile.
Ji felt cold and realized that he was in the water. so he yelled in panic, but his voice was drowned by water that flowed into his mouth.
"Quick! save me! gurg argh"
"Just wait, it's in progress" Blu replied nonchalantly.
"what the, I'm dead right so why I'm drowning?"
realizing this, him drowning suddenly stopped, tho he was still in the deep water. Ji was left dumbfounded once more when he realized this, Yi's reaction didn't escape in blu's eyes, blu comforted him with a smile, tho it didn't really sound like one.
"Relax, you're dead already. The time was stopped because of this. here look"
blu moved sideways and projected a loading screen, it was a bar like what you can see from a phone when charging but was longer, it's currently 81% and rising.
"so, after the progress bar is filled up will the time continue?" yi ask
"yup" Blu replied immediately
"Thanks"
"no problem"
after that, no one spoke as they waited for the progress bar to finish awkwardly. As the bar reached the hundred, a prompt was heard beside him.
[Ding! progress finished, initializing.....initializing complete]
Yi felt that his conscious felt was being sucked as his vision turned black a moment after his vision became normal again, he panicked, he couldn't breathe, right, he was drowning.
'That ugly cube!!!!'
graahhh
fortunately, he knows how to swim otherwise he's dead, so he paddles his feet and arms to get to the surface, 'wait! something is wrong! why does it seem like the surface of the water is burning?' as he was about to reach the surface, a silhouette appeared and it grabbed him like a doll, and then he heard a violent voice similar to a pirate.
"rarararara, this kid is trying to kill himself rararararra"
"rarararara kid we'll lend you a hand!"
"kid, you're finished! hahahahahahah"
laughter and shouts could be heard, when Yi opened his eyes, what he saw made him gawk widely, he could see that he was in a big boat but it wasn't a boat actually, The whole thing was flat, with 3 to 4 acre of space, it's a floating island enough for a lot of people to accommodate, the floating island was now ragged. dilapidated houses, chairs, and tables could be seen, it was messy. after hearing that weird laughter for a while did Ji gave his attention to the man who held him.
the man holding him was 3 meters tall, bald, with bulging muscles, full of scars, and was only wearing martial arts-like pants. he typically looks like an enemy of an MC in a usual story, but he looked like Blackbeard from One Piece, tho a bald version, and he seems to be lifting him with one arm when he looks at his reflection on the surface of the water, he was stunned.
"what in the world!"
his face was different from what it should look like and as he looked at his clothes it wasn't his.
"transmigration?"
"damn, so I was an mc after all"
Suddenly, another hand grabbed him from the brute and kicked him.
boom
kuwahhh---
bang-
he was sent flying like a ragdoll to one of the dilapidated houses. he grunts in pain, this was the most painful thing he experienced.
"kid I know that the ball is with you, give it to me"
Ji got up and looked at the man who punched him, the guy looked like a rich noble, handsome, in white clothes just like from the cultivation novel he usually read, with an intimidating and protagonist like aura that suppressed him. stood up. sensing the abnormality excitement rose to his heart.
'what the, I can even be get up after being punched like that, damn, I'm an mc!'
but he didn't voice it out because maybe this is where his debut where he would create his legend so, he searched for the thing that the guy was talking about, after a minute of searching he found it in his shoes stuck between his fingers. he look at it with interest it looked like a universe was inside it, he looked at the guy and walked towards him, and said.
"here"
the guy looks at him with a look full of a smile and reach out with his hand.
but when Ji was close to the guy, he immediately placed the ball inside his mouth and swallowed it then he punch the guy in white while thinking with a smile, you're finished and shouted.
"Delaware Detroit smash!"
bang-
crack-
"ahhhhhhhh"
His arm broke he didn't know when, he didn't even see where that attack came from. after that, he was held near where dead bodies laid at and got beheaded.
the end.
.....
"huwaaaa"
Ji woke up gasping, and look at the surrounding. he was in a big room it looks like a European-style room, there was almost nothing inside the room just a closet and a white stool with a table with nothing placed on it, and a mirror, he can see his reflection of himself, he look at the reflection of the mirror clearly and once more dumbfounded.
"transmigration after transmigration?!"
....
