Chapter 1: The story of a life. (1)
Living sucks.
That's what James always thought, could you say otherwise? Sure. Let's say life is special, but for all the chemical bonds that runs in your neurons and stuff like that, you're nothing but a lucky one from a species that developed some consciousness.
And even so, thinking how it would be better to die, he couldn't just give up, he didn't know what was beyond death and too... he had to do his research before leaving this world, an example of this was watching something called 'anime'.
This simple guy with a hell of a life had discovered something out of this world, maybe this was god calling over to him saying that there are good things for him still going on Earth.
And so it begins.
After working his ass off everyday he had his joy at night with his han- animated series and sometimes reading some 'manga', and again, a heaven sent content, it's an object that created the so called anime.
It wasn't long before a faithful night of reading brought James to have another creepy smile face after finding from where the manga originates from! A light novel! He always thought that Japan was truly special and the people from Asia blessed by some god out there, not only good at video games, but good at writing and drawing?
He wanted to call bullshit, but they deserved for they creativity.
And so... it continued.
Reading and more reading, he couldn't stop reading, even when he was at work, if he received the minimal amount of minutes, he would immediately take his phone from his pockets and start over from where he had stopped in the random story that got his attention.
This world of novels was really crazy, he found stupid things like 'My Reincarnation as a Hot Spring' and 'Reincarnated as a Sword', still he saw this as a type of cure and in his vision, a standard person would still find this enjoyable. In his perspective.
Just reading would bring him so much fun that in fight scenes he would be jumping and making some 'Kyaaa' noises. Imagine if this fights were animated, there's no need for the information.
Sometimes he thought that this anime girls were better than the real ones.
Let's not even going to start counting the amount of body pillows this guy has.
Ultraviolet were considered an enemy on his room, activating would shock anyone, it didn't matter where would you look, stains contaminated everywhere, even the ceiling.
So on a regular day James woke up, and happily went to work knowing that later at night, the fun time would begin, he needed Mr.Time to pick his pace, so listening to some music he dumped away from his tiny little home.
Nothing out of the ordinary happened while he was working, no talk, only having his back side against the chair while frying his eyes on this screen and not on his, where he would put his eyes to good use.
Of course all this silence around him is something unusual, with less people today in the environment made him a little skeptical, and he unfortunately was right in his mind to doubt this since at the time of his exit was arriving, his boss appeared in front of him.
Receiving more work to do and having to stay until late made him unhappy, however, tomorrow he didn't have to work, so... he easily accepted.
After finishing all of the tasks, he took his jacket, and went away. Outside while walking on the street, the moon shined at him illuminating him, showing that today was going to be special, more correctly, tomorrow, as he would arrive at his home at a time that passes midnight.
Getting past the door of the house, he closed and locked the door. Throwing his jacket on the ground James walked and reached his computer bought from all of his sweat from overworking at his job and then turned it on.
Already excited, he opened the browser and clicked in a icon at the favorites tab. After some loading the site appeared showing off the last episode of Naruto Shippuden.
Removing the link of the episode from his favorites, he was finally ready to finish the series.
He turned up the volume of the speakers, gave the player a start and went to turn off the lights.
Now having only the screen shining on the room, the time passed as he kept his ocular organs glued to the anime. The entire time he was watching he was in the point of crying and seeing the end, he couldn't help but shed some tears.
"That... 'sniff' was awesome!"
While crying at the end of the episode he spoke out showing his feelings for the anime.
Now that he finally got this over with, he noticed that after the anime was finished, a pop up filled the video player region asking if he wanted to play a game, an anime one. The contents were bright and in the same ad it showed a little of the synopsis.
'Be the best ninja! Create your own, be your own, mold your own story!'
A little off but he never played this type of shit anyway, however... he never gave it a chance maybe this was another gift sent from the ones that inhabit the afterlife!
And so he didn't waste time and moved his hand, to move his mouse and finally after clicking it, the game downloaded in an instant. Nothing to be suspicious about.
Opening the file, the game went on fullscreen and displayed the menu.
And the menu was actually amazing, behind the buttons it showed an amazing sight of the Hokage Rock, the mountain that overlooked Konohagakure, the Hidden Leaf Village.
[Start Ninja Life.]
[Exit.]
Apart from the background, the developers didn't put some work on the rest.
Pressing play a warning took shape after both the choices from before went away.
[Warning!
The game is only playable one time only, after death of the character, the game closes and the user won't be able to play again.
Are you ready?]
[Yes.] ⨉ [No.]
'Of course I'm ready, luck isn't by my side in real life, but here? Just watch!'
After James thought that, he selected the 'Yes.' option, making the screen slowly go dark only to shine once again after a couple of seconds.
[Let's see if you can really turn out to be strong. Live and survive!
Everyone in life possess what they have through luck. At least for starters.
For now, Let's see where you're going to be born!]
