Lost...
I'm lost.
Where am I? Who am I? What is this place?
Why am I here?
I was running to get to school on time when...
When what?
Something must've happened for me to end up in this place, right?
Can this snow-white space even be called a room?
I still don't get it... Why am I here?

What the hell is that?
[Installation complete: Please enter a name.]
What kind of bullshit is this?
["What kind of bullshit is this?" cannot be accepted as a valid name. Please enter a new one.]
I don't get it. I literally didn't do anything and suddenly I'm stuck in some shady setup where a damn system is asking me for a name.
[Host, please enter a name.]
DON'T. WANT. TO.
No matter what you say, I WON'T DO IT.
There's one thing I hate more than anything—being forced to do something.
So now, you better just shut the he—

AHHH! Fine, fine! I'll give you a damn name. Say it one more time and I swe—
[Please enter a name.]
OK, OK, I get it now. I take everything back. I'll give you a name... uhhh... Rey. Yeah, let's go with Rey.
[Thank you, Rey, and welcome!]
What do you want from me?
[Perfect timing! Let me explain the situation. Do you remember the book you wrote more than four years ago?]
Yeah, my first book: The Hero's Rise. What a mess that was. So damn cliché, nothing made sense. Halfway through, I hated it so much I just gave up and ended it.
Not like anyone was really reading that garbage anyway...
[The Hero's Rise is the world where you'll be reincarnated.]
What—?
[Stop, stop. No questions. Let me finish. You died in your original world—sadly, a car hit you. Now, you have the chance to reincarnate. Why The Hero's Rise? Well—Too much info. Anyway, your mission is simple: save the world you once created to be destroyed. Do you accept?]
Of course not! Why the hell would I? I'm dead—let me go to hell or heaven or whatever. I don't want to be reincarnated. The Hero's Rise is basically unbeatable.
So many plot holes and unfinished arcs.
The final boss? Literally invincible. I know—I WROTE IT.
What do I even get in return? All this blah blah is nice and all, but assuming I actually agree... what's in it for me?
[If you save the world, you will be granted one wish.]
Huh? Anything? Like... really anything? No joke?
[Anything.]
Even seeing... my parents again?
[Yes. Your deceased parents can be brought back to life. So, Rey, do you accept this mission—]
Send me.
Send me to that damn world.
I'll save it. No matter what happens...
I'll overcome everything.
Even if I have to kill an immortal, unbeatable boss...
Just so I can see my parents again.
[I admire your determination, but... be careful. The character you're being reincarnated into is... a bit special.]
What? What do you mean "special"? Don't tell me it's an extr—
[Reincarnation!]
