Just when I thought I was making a show out of nothing and was in relief, nothing happened; my vision went black, just like the computer screen, and I lost all the sensation in my body.
I couldn't feel my arms and legs, and it felt like I was floating in some kind of dark abyss that was slightly warm and comfortable.
I either couldn't look around or the place I was in was dark all over since no matter where I tried to look, I couldn't see any light.
I knew that clicking on the link wasn't the best option, and I was expecting something to happen. But I never thought I would be pulled into this dark place where I can't even feel my body.
I wonder what would happen if I didn't ever escape this place. I'd probably go crazy, right? Even if I didn't, it would be the worst kind of mental torture to stay here for centuries, with only my own thoughts and the darkness surrounding me. I wouldn't even have a way to kill myself and end my suffering since I can't feel anything, almost as if I were a floating soul.
Damn. This is so much worse than the monitor being haunted, like I first thought. At least I would be able to throw some salt and hire a priest if there were any ghosts involved.
But what the hell am I supposed to do now?
Slowly spend life in darkness for eternity? That's worse than getting eaten alive by a demon from hell.
Ding~
And just while I was complaining about how this place seemed worse than hell, a bunch of words appeared in my mind. There was no voice or text, and they were simply words that felt as if they were my own thoughts.
But those same words that formed sentences seemed to hold some kind of mighty power, as my soul or whatever form I was in now felt heavy after I received them.
The message I received was:
[The Being Closest to God]
[The One That Doesn't Know the Meaning of Impossibility]
[The Incarnation of Lust]
[Child of Vanitas]
[Rejoice child. These titles you have earned have granted you a chance to go through the trial to attain Godhood]
[The stage has already been set, and the world made just for your trial is waiting for your arrival as its protagonist]
[The Dice of Theia have already been rolled, and the Gods have assembled to avidly watch your performance]
[The conditions to join us are very simple]
[Make the Gods rejoice and earn their approval to attain Godhood]
[Dissatisfy the Gods and you will meet your demise]
[It's as simple as that]
[All I have to say is that I wish you the best on your ventures, and if you're ever in doubt, follow your heart]
[The Gods have high hopes for you. So don't you dare disappoint us...Especially since your mother is waiting for you here]
[Haha...But as the Child of Vanitas, I guess I won't have to be worrying about that]
[And finally, a message from all of us Gods who are watching]
[Welcome To The World of Milfs]
"."
".."
"...?"
What in the world? What kind of message was that?
It started off so formally, like it was some official initiation, and by the end, it was so casual, as if the speaker was talking to his nephew.
And what are those titles that they gave me?
I will shamelessly accept the first two since I can understand why someone would call me that after seeing the things I can do.
But what does Child of Vanitas mean? Is Vanitas my parent? The same father who abandoned me on the street when I was just a baby? Or was it my mother's name, whom I had never seen before?
And what does the Incarnation of Lust symbolify? I may have a strong attraction for older women, which is more than the average man. But I don't think I deserve to earn that title just because of that.
And did they just say that if I successfully finished their trial, I would become a God just like them? It's as easy as that?
Well, I wouldn't say it's easy since they also said that I will die if I don't accomplish what they're asking for. But that only works if the ones who sent this message are actually Gods.
Is that even true?
But even though I have never believed in God since the day I was born, I actually do think that some Godly existence was the one who sent that message since the feeling it gave when it entered my mind was otherworldly and supreme, and I felt as if the whole world could be changed based on those words.
Even though it was extremely illogical and unscientific, the presence of that message left on my mind actually makes me believe that I was actually contacted by God or some kind of supreme being.
But if they are actually Gods themselves, why are they talking about my mother as if she were a God herself and telling me that she was waiting for me? How can that be true when I'm simply a mortal?
And can you actually believe that she has the gall to tell me that I shouldn't disappoint her and that she was waiting for me, when I've been waiting for her every day for all of my childhood and she never ever came.
Just thinking about it is frustrating....Well that is if she was actually my real mother.
And just what in the world was that ending line.
You send a message as if I were going to go through a trial of fire that would test my sheer will and determination to become a God, and then you end it off by saying that I was going to some world with milfs in it. What kind of ridiculous nonsense is that?
Why does the name of the world, the so-called trial is set in, have a name that sounds like it came from an 18+ game that horny teenagers play? And what do milfs got to do anything with attaining Godhood?
If you're going to explain something, then do it clearly, instead of leaving me hanging like this without a sliver of a clue about what was going on.
Well, at least I'm slowly regaining the senses in my body right now, which eases my nerves a bit. Although I still can't open my eyes, I can wiggle my toes and move my lips a little. I could also feel the warm softness around me, as if I were wrapped in a blanket.
But that was weird since the moment I blacked out, I was standing in a cold library, not sleeping in a bed like how I feel now.
I wanted to say that this was all a dream that I had while I blacked out in the library and was current in the hospital after someone saw my unconscious self on the floor. But unfortunately, I don't have the ability to dream and have never experienced a dream before, so the message I received before and the links I saw on the monitor just now were definitely real.
Then, have I been brought to a different world that the Gods told me about, which would be considered the stage where I was supposed to be the main character?
Well, there's no use questioning myself since I have no way to deduce the answer and should probably put a little more effort into regaining control of my body and seeing where I was myself.
