"Argh! Damn, that sucks."
Seriously! When I stepped out of my house today, never in a million years would I have thought that this would be my last day alive. I always imagined that if I were to die young, it would be from some illness or maybe due to the unhealthy lifestyle I lead. Never, and I mean never, did I think my life would end because of a falling tree.
Yes, you heard me right—a goddamn tree!
Alright, let me give you some context... My name is Simon Riley. Now, if you're expecting me to say I'm some kind of rich prodigy or a genius who's destined for greatness, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you. I'm just an ordinary guy. Well, maybe slightly above average—but that's mostly because my ego won't let me accept being labeled as "average."
I was never the academic type. I coasted through school, barely passing my exams by cramming everything in the night before. Could I have done better? Sure. But did I care? Not really. I always had this mindset of 'future me will deal with it.'
Growing up, I didn't have a father figure. My dad died in a factory accident when I was just 2 years old. So, it was just me and my mom. She took care of me until I was 18, when she sadly passed away peacefully in her sleep. Losing her left a void in my life, but I kept pushing forward, as much as a guy like me could.
I never went to college. Instead, I made a living by doing odd online jobs—things like video editing and esports. Nothing glamorous, but enough to get by. My hobbies? Well, I was pretty much a shut-in. My life revolved around watching anime, bingeing movies, and reading manga, novels, and fanfiction. I only left the house when I absolutely had to—usually for groceries or the occasional special occasion.
And speaking of groceries, that's where this whole mess started. I went out to pick up some things, and as I walked home, I noticed the puddles left from yesterday's thunderstorm. The air still smelled fresh, the sky was clear, and everything seemed fine. But out of nowhere, a tree—yes, an actual tree—came crashing down on me. There was no time to react, no chance to escape. One second I was walking, and the next... well, I wasn't.
Now, here's where things get weird. After the tree crushed me, I found myself floating above my own body, staring down at it in disbelief.
"Wait, what?!" I thought. "This can't be real!"
But sure enough, there I was—hovering in the air, my hands translucent, my body lying lifeless below me. Before I could even begin to process what was happening, a crack appeared in the space behind me, and without warning, a Crack suddenly appeared in space behind me opened and I was sucked into it.
Currently I am traveling at unknown speed through this rainbow coloured bridge which is giving me motion sickness, not only that, but I am also feeling like being stretched and compressed ,the best way to explain my situation would be like a child molding a clay into diffent shapes or randomly stretching and compressing it, where I am the clay. Honestly I am surprised I am not throwing up but considering I am in soul like form it makes sense I guess.
After an unknown time ,the rainbow tunnel started to light up more abnormally and suddenly there was another Crack in space from which I got sucked out and then found myself looking to an unknown street and buildings.
I tried to move, but I couldn't. I thought maybe I am soul version right now or something so I looked at my body and then suddenly froze at the sight. I have a body now but it's... IT'S BODY OF A BABY!!.
Wah! Wah! I started cursing but all the curses that came out my mouth were just baby wails.
