1 I don't want this novel

I slept just a moment ago. I am so exhausted after overwork these past five days. Since the new year is getting near everything has become so hectic. This is my day, so why would I set an alarm at 3 AM?

The phone kept being so noisy but it seemed different. I mean my phone is not that big. It fits my hand grip. This one, at least I need to use the other hand to fully grip the phone case.

Yes, it was indeed the ringing of alarm at 3 AM. Is there any appointment? But if it is so I might set it at 7 AM. Not the early morning. My right elbow accidentally shifted something and I guess it was a mug. As the mug landed on the ground and the shatter-breakin  sound was pretty good at refreshing my shaggy mind.

My eyes looked around and found out I was not in my room, not inside my cozy blanket, not on my lovely bed. My front is a high quality screen computer, it was quite big and long with cute baby blue as well as the keyboard and mouse. All of this is mostly used by gamers. Since the PC seems to be using high specs that was impossible I could afford it. 

I worked at an online marketplace, my job originally just a system analysis as the progress by years. I have also been supervising other teams for two years. The scenery in front of me is surely not my workplace as I know well my business room just using a laptop. Anyway, that was not important at all, the dark theme on the screen phone I face is not mine. I used to use a bridal aisle picture that I found on Pinterest five years ago. I never change it as I wish to get married soon. It makes me nervous.

Then, I realized the other weird thing my hand is so fuckin white!! Like an albino dude, but more like the skin of a dead person. The fingers are quite long but the nails are so tiny, not proportional at all. The phone that kept making noise suddenly just shut down, out of battery. Surely this is not mine.

As my confused mind keeps trying to wake up, my heart cannot stop beating hard. Then I realized other things. There is another noise coming out of the door. The banging sound actually quite aloud.

There are just two facts I can conclude in this situation. I am not me. I am not in my perfect mind to do a thing. 

As I am trying to move from my place, the body I am in right now is not well enough. She is so weak. I cannot even stand on my own. Then, there are some clicking sounds and the door seems open. But, I was in the other room and I do not know what I should do.

Not in a minute, two guys opened this room door and one woman tailed them. The woman gasped for breath as she ran to me, she was crying all over her face. The other young guy moved her to the other side to calm her.

As the other big guy came to me and checked my condition. I was so nervous that I could not breathe well. He connected me to a nebulizer. My eyes cannot see well as everything becomes dark. I still can hear lots of noises, later everything is so serene as my consciousness is gone.

I dreamed lots of things. Mainly from my actual body, I was indeed asleep without me knowing actually I was dying in my room. My co-worker came to my flat five days later and just found me sleeping peacefully with the rotting smell of my dead body. She did my funeral and lots of co-workers and my boss came. I was diagnosed with over fatigue.

When knowing my reasons for leaving, my boss and other higher ups reconstructed the work time, schedule meeting, and worker welfare. The heck!?

If you could raise my payment and all of those things earlier, I would not die.

Well, it is also a good thing for my co-workers to enjoy that. I know some of them are struggling to raise cute cubs at home. They need lots of remuneration for their hard work all the time. Mostly, we worked overtime and it was still not enough to handle many things.

That was the scenery I faced, everyone is so thankful to my sacrifice. I died at 32 years old. Haha, and still single. Shit. But that was okay, I guess? My money all went to my brother's education and my mom's small diner business. 

Then I was presented with other scenery, so basically after I died my soul went in Yuki Chen's body. All of her memories went inside my mind, it is as if I was Yuki Chen all the time.

She is a mix, her mom is Japanese and her dad is Chinese. Both of them are scumbag. They choose to divorced when Yuki is 12 years old. Her mom went back to Hokkaido and left her with her dad. As for her dad with late puberty syndrome. He likes to move around other places, same as nomadic person. At first, he still paid for her education, later she was the one who had to pay all of the things. The crazy thing is her mom actually never called her or even messages her to ask Yuki's well beings.

She was majoring the same thing as me, computer software engineering. But, her achievement was higher than me. She chose to drop out of college and was too lazy to search for scholarships. She started work at an internet cafe while opening a small commision to software developer or website firewall protector. When her money was pretty enough she rented a flat and never moved until now. But, the small job she did was just for freelance. Her main goal is just playing a game. She made an Ourtube account and firstly just did live streaming for game playing.

She braced herself to join many international game championships as a soloist gamer and she won several games. Mostly in online multiplayer battle royal games. Her personality is pretty eccentric, she is an introvert and quiet person. Actually she is not good in playing with a group. Since she rarely speaks, the other teammate is always confused with her act in the game, even though their team won the game. She did the overly act to win them. Also, her appearance, mostly using a hoodie all the time, makes the other girl in her team look down on her.

They are just a bunch of jealous people. All ungrateful brat. I could see, they were also jealous with Yuki's baby face and her huge followers.

After then, Yuki chose to make video gameplay and upload it on Ourtube her followers in many social media reached 10 million. She is a well known girl gamer without any drama and good etiquette. She rarely speaks badly, and when playing she reviews the overall system of the game, even how to fix the bug. She mostly reviews games from small companies. Then, their company became bigger because of her review. This scenery made the already bigger companies come to her door for the purpose of recruiting her. But, she declines everyone.

Without Yuki Chen knowing, she is more famous than the celebrities or idols from TV. She did not have a manager or assistant, and she mostly did everything by herself. She even made a new programming language that is known just for her artificial intelligent robot, Kyu. It was the one who sorted all the emails and received messages or phone calls. It also cleans the flat and wash the dishes. Yuki rarely appears in interviews or TV reality shows. Even though she joins them mostly from a long distance, video call.

Everyone called her The 'Introvert' Hoodie Girl. But that was just because she was too lazy to communicate her feelings.

But what is the craziest thing? She is a trillionaire!!

The last memory I got, Yuki has received a small job request from The World Bank to strengthen the website firewall and their main finance application. The payment for those works is almost two trillion. And she never went shopping, mostly she bought all necessities from the nearest traditional market near her flat. Most of those who went there were old people and they did not know Yuki Chen very well. She never counted the money she got until now, but I guess just from her freelance work she can enjoy the entire life without doing nothing.

The other surprise is Zhou Qi Jay, the most memorable name of male lead I read in the previous life of mine. Actually, he also tried to recruit Yuki to his company Jay Group. Oh dang!! Is it a novel? Am I inside a novel?

Then I do not want inside this one. I cried. I cried so bad. This is an apocalypse novel. I want my second chance to be a lovely adventurer and the most enjoyable vacation for me. What is the use of becoming a trillionaire if you can use it. I still want to get married, I want to have my own cub. Huhuhuhu..
