Bleach: I Am Ichigo’s Twin Brother!

My name… my name doesn't matter.

Like any good isekai story, I died in some tragic way that I won't bother to explain; why explain when you're somehow dead and showing mild signs of schizophrenia?

Setting that aside… I'm in some kind of magical library that, from my perspective, bore great similarities to that enormous library from that manhwa about constellations.

In the main section of this library, like in some kind of square, was my room. My bed was the same, my gamer setup as well, the decorations too… my bunny magazines…

Leaving the last item aside, what surprised me the most was that I could watch any media I had already seen in the material world. Besides games, nothing else could be accessed: social networks were impossible for me, but I was content with that.

Of course, it took me years to reach this state of glorified solitude.

Many people say that grief has five stages: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and finally, acceptance.

At first, I denied that this was happening to me; how could someone brilliantly average be cruelly ripped from their monotonous destiny?

Then, I felt wronged.

Why me? I had no reason to be chosen for this sick joke!

But here's the part where I finally reached this celibate state.

First: the place I was in was a large library with all kinds of literary media possible. Second: I had endless food, from fancy dishes to French fries. Third: there was a cinema in this library! From the classic Titanic to the horrendous Justice League Snyder Cut.

So why not skip bargaining and depression and go straight to acceptance?

Let's be honest: my mother died when I was born, my father couldn't wait to get rid of me, and I had no friends or girlfriend to worry about me.

So, why care? I'm in paradise, and nothing can take me out of here!

…

Update: after binge-watching Ben 10: Alien Force, I went to sleep in my humble room, and when I woke up, I was in this strange damp place. I don't know why, but somehow, it was both comforting and despair-inducing.

And to make things worse… I had a roommate! I don't know who he is, but I already don't like him.

I don't know how long I've been here since I stopped counting after the first four minutes…

Anyway, good news! Apparently, I have some superpower to absorb some kind of blue energy! Since I got here, I had this ability, and with nothing else to do, it became my pastime until, for some reason, I could no longer absorb this energy…

That made me question where exactly I was… there were only two possibilities from my perspective: either I was being carried by some pregnant woman from the world of Naruto or Bleach, since those are the only worlds I remember where energy is blue.

And… could you stop moving so much? Can't you see I'm in my deep, reflective, individual monologue?

I thought about this while I felt my roommate moving so desperately.

Ah! Right, right, this must be the moment of our birth.

Scholars say that babies cry at birth because they're scared of being taken from their comfort, but I and others think differently.

You see, you, a baby, in your cozy place called the womb, are in eternal rest and well-fed, far from annoying and boring people, bills to pay, and facing the worst enemy of all… children!

How can such a small creature have a tongue as sharp as knives and as piercing as bullets?

In my old world, one day I was walking down the street when I saw a little girl looking at a cotton candy cart. Being the kind person I was, I bought cotton candy for her, and when she saw me offering it, she said, "I don't want it. Mom said ugly and strange people might kidnap me by offering sweets, and you're exactly what Mom described." It was just a few words, but they were never forgotten by my incredible memory…

Leaving this past behind, I feel some invisible force "pushing" me through a narrow opening, and following the flow, I let myself be carried, knowing my cruel fate.

Right after my body passed through the narrow opening, my consciousness began to fade, and I ended up losing it completely.

End of Chapter 0!
