[ Game Over ]
"Huh? Where am I? Why am I lying on the ground? And... Why am I not screaming in pain?"
Ash blinked his eyes open. Three questions flooded his mind as he stared at the blood-red Game Over notification hovering in front of him. According to the usual script, excruciating pain from before his death should have greeted him upon opening his eyes. But now, the absence of those agonizing three seconds filled with hellish torture is quite strange for him.
