Chapter two
This chapter is also an optional one for this particular draft. The story officially starts in chapter three.
*CRACK* *CRUNCH* *CRUNCH* *CRACK*
"Huh…? What's that sound?"
I try to open my eyes, but find that I can't for some reason. Sleep paralysis maybe? It wouldn't be the first time I've had to deal with it. I guess I'll just relax a bit. Maybe this is my body telling me that I really needed to rest.
*CRUNCH* *CRACK* *CRACK*
That… was louder than before. Maybe I'm dreaming instead? Let me try to open my eyes a bit more.
*Struggle* Struggle*
Forcing my eyes open is turning out to be really taxing...
Blurry shapes float around above me as the sound of crunching grows ever louder. I attempt to blink my eyes to bring clarity to what I'm seeing but find that no matter how much I try, my vision refuses to clear.
"This is no good creator. If you start panicking now, then how will I be able to exact revenge on you?"
I don't recognize this voice. It's mild, yet commanding…!
"Just stay nice and quiet while my darling, Qliphoth, finishes consuming you. It's the least you could do after the innumerable years of savagery you inflicted upon us."
...Savagery… Me…?
Just then, a small gloved hand had pressed over my eyes, shutting them for the final time.
After that, all I could hear was presumably my bones being consumed by some creature that I figured I was fortunate enough not to see. That, and the mild and sophisticated voice tell me about the suffering I had apparently made her endure. Honestly, it seems like utter nonsense no matter how I think about it. So nonsensical that I seem to have convinced myself that I'm still in some type of dream state. It's the only way I could rationalize what's going on after all. It's like the leveled-up mom of the previous joke decided to pull up and show off its multi-target triple S tier one-shot ability.
This is all just frustrating the ever-living shit outta me. First, I get into an "accident" and lose the greater portion of my memory, then I get seemingly captured by the voices in my head and get consumed because they think I'm their "creator" or something that ruined their entire world. Like, who decided that? How could I even be a god in the first place? Makes no fucking sense.
…
...
...
So far, hours have passed since I've been getting consumed in this shitty dream. The mild voice told me that she had dedicated her life to finding the god of her world and killing it. Apparently, the world she comes from is one of the stories that I may have written, but I can't be sure since I lost so much of my memory. I figured out that it wasn't just her though. Another woman, though one with a considerably more vulgar tone and vocabulary, had also come to see me.
Heh, that's a wildly inaccurate statement of the current situation, but It's not like that matters anyway. It's just my thoughts and me after all now.
Oh yeah! Seems like they can't read my mind anymore! Which means either one or two things. Either they found whatever it was that they wanted, or they ran into the other me! Poor souls if they did. That one is nothing but my worst and most depraved parts. Whichever one it turns out to be doesn't really matter. They're out of my head.
Anyways, the vulgar one also has a hate stiffy for me, so she and the mild lady have been exchanging turns on the exposition dumps and torture sessions. It didn't really matter to me since I couldn't feel anything. The only sense that seemed to stick around was my damned hearing. Well, I suppose I should be glad about that. I can't imagine what kind of pain I'd be in right now if I COULD feel anything. Especially since I've been half consumed. Yep. Half fucking eaten. The only reason I know that is because these assholes keep talking about how pitiful I look.
Daniel's interpretation of their words :
"Ohoho just look at this writhing worm of a god!"
"Right?!? Just how pitiful can this bastard be! And to think it's the one that ruined our world"
Again with this ruining of the world bullshit? God this pisses me off more than I can even fathom…!
Telling me that once I've been consumed they'll send me into a world just like theirs so I can know an eternity of suffering.
Just Great! I thought to myself sarcastically -w-
An indiscernible amount of time later
The sound is excessive now so I'm just going to assume that I'm demon puppy chow at this point. I'm kinda looking forward to whatever is supposed to be coming after this. I've grown tired of this scenario. I don't even remember what they said anymore since it's been so long. All I can think of at this point is these two floating orbs. One light and one dark. They just orbit one another endlessly around this dull blue flame that's been getting brighter and brighter as consumption of my body continues to progress to its conclusion. Maybe it's tied to that? Maybe I guess. It's gotten entirely exhausting to think. I'll just let myself be at peace…
================================================================
I feel pressure... pressure like the bottom of the ocean, though not that I've ever been down to the bottom of the ocean before. This is just what I imagine it feels like. The mental image of my body feels as though it is being compressed into something amorphous.
"That's because it is, little god."
Little God? Hehehe, well that does sound really nice and all, but I'm no god y'know? I'm just... Well, I don't really know what I am now? I was a human before but then a bunch of bizarre things happened and I guess I died.
"Mmm. Tragic, I suppose. Let me confirm one thing for you. Whatever you were before is most assuredly dead. All that you are rests in my palm now."
That is... A little scary I think. I was never a deeply religious or spiritual person in my past life so this whole entire experience seems otherworldly to me. Are you perhaps... a god?
"In some ways, yes. I preside over the passings of greater beings such as yourself into their next incarnations."
Greater beings? Is that why you called me little god?
"Indeed it is. The worlds you've created qualify you as such and so here I am."
I see. Can I ask who you are?
"I already told you that I am the one that presides over the-"
You've already said that much, but do you have a name? Something I can call you by?
"Once upon a time I did. I simply now go by Rami."
Ah, well thank you for telling me your name Rami. I have a lot of questions, but I find it very difficult to talk with you without at least being able to see you.
"let us fix that."
Not a moment before the entity finished its sentence did the world around me come into being. The space itself was vibrant with many fluorescent colors painting each direction I looked. that's not all. Inside this space, many abstract shapes with no definition seemed to form into rectangles and blocks that could build upon one another, like legos for example. I was both enamored with and perplexed by the display before me as I continued to struggle to make sense of it.
"I'm here, little god."
Suddenly a figure appeared in front of my vision. I was stunned. A seven-foot-tall woman with wild black hair that ran down to her ankles sat leisurely in a chair with a Japanese-style gourd, presumably full of alcohol, staring at me. The only thing that was covering her was bandages wrapped tightly around her chest, concealing what seemed to be at least double D-sized breasts and a white kimono with a wisteria flower pattern with only one worn sleeve, leaving the other to hang off her waist where a Shimenawa sash hugged her hips. The most notable feature about her had to be the two horns protruding from out the corners of her forehead. They were tanned just like her skin until the point where they went gradually shifted to dark red at the tips. Her eyes pierced into my very being as they were akin to a kaleidoscope.
You are... very striking, Rami. You remind me of the modern idea of a female Ogre from Japan. What with your pointed ears and horns along with your attire.
"It is said that the one who gave me form had origins in that nation on earth, though it has been eons since I have come into fruition."
That's fascinating... Thank you for allowing me vision, Rami. This whole entire place is beyond words!
"It is the abyss between worlds. Things here are transforming into something more concrete. Now, let me tell you a bit about the world you're going to be entering."
The world I'll be entering... Okay. Please tell me about it.
"This world is one of mysterious power and strife, littered with despotic entities that only care for themselves. It is also the world from which your murderers originate. It seems as though they have taken measures to ensure that you were reincarnated into their world with only your frail human self from before, but I have decided that will not come to pass. While I cannot grant you access to create a new body, I can make you an incarnation in my likeness. This way you will not be helpless in such a cruel world."
What does that mean...?
"Just what it sounds like, little god. You will become like me."
Eh? Eeeeeeeeeeeh?!? Does that mean... I'll be a woman?!?
"Naturally so."
But I'm... I was a man! I can't be a woman!
"It is a shame, but it is also unavoidable if you want to be able to survive being reincarnated."
Ah... I understand <,> Thank you for helping me in this way.
"It's only natural. I could not simply allow for such wanton interference to go unchallenged. You will also awaken in an uninhabited part of the world. To be more precise, uninhabited by humanity. Since they also wanted you to suffer in the human realm they are the lords of."
Those damn bastards.
As I thought that, the pressure I had been feeling the entire time subsided.
"It's time for you to descend, little god. Or would it be little Goddess now? Yes, I suppose that is more appropriate" Rami said as she took a swig from her gourd
W-Wait. Now??? Like right now? But I still have questions that I wanted to-
*SWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH*
A deluge of alcohol sprayed into me violently sending me far away from that bizarre space. Everything around me was a blurry slideshow as memories burned into my mind. My senses were assaulted with being as my body manifested itself entirely in an instant. The local language, the topography of the region around me, and the local flora and fauna inhabiting that area. All of this brought my mind into a dreadful state of overload.
"Farewell Little Goddess. I look forward to watching your struggle."
And then there was nothing...
Finally, isekai'd! This was really fun to write so I hope that shows. Our protagonist really had a rough time getting isekai'd like, but they were spared a far worse fate! The only thing that will be difficult is the fact that they're now a woman. I also do apologize with how short these past two chapters have been, I'm kinda raring to get to the actual story y'know? I'll likely come back to fill them out more in the future though. Thanks to everyone for reading by the way!
