Ah… ah… ahh..
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
How cruel. How unbelievably cruel. How terrifyingly cruel. Thousands of possibilities gone in an instant. Millions of possible futures obliterated. Why did I believe that this would be a miraculous story of the adventurer with a cheat ability? That’s not how life works. What made me so blind to my situation? Was I reborn just to be played with? Was I just the passing fancy of some powerful god?
I barely had any control over my life, and now I must submit to the whims of something I don’t even know? It was incredibly foolish to think that reality could become so fantastical. Yes, that’s right. I’m a fool! I’m just a stupid fool! Just put me back where I should have gone!
I can’t stand it. I can’t stand it. I can’t stand it.
What right do you have to bring me back to life in another world?
“Unforgiveable,” whispered a voice to my left.
I won’t be just a simple pawn.
“Unforgiveable,” whispered a voice to my right.
I won’t act like you want me to.
“Unforgiveable.” I whispered to myself.

But it’s not like I have any real power here as the subtle realization dawned on me. I needed to calm down and understand fully what was going on. Clearly, this “being” wanted me to play a mockery of Auo. I still don’t know why I was picked, but I can’t imagine it was for a good reason. It wasn’t like I was an extraordinary player so it’s hard to believe I was selected unless it was as a joke. What a joke of a god. I have decided to call this being Focker. So I’ll play along for now. And when you grow lazy and complacent…
.
.
Ya nai. I’m not that violent! Believe me! I don’t know what I’ll do when I finally meet Focker, but it won’t come down to a life or death battle. Probably. To sum up what has happened so far, I was killed in a car accident, but was then resurrected by Focker in a world that appears to follow the rules of Auo. Then he burnt all the class cards.
Well, not all of them.
Looking around myself in the encirclement of what were previously hundreds of class cards were three cards that had survived. Apparently, the only ones that meet “specifications” and weren’t eliminated. I couldn’t even mask my disgust when I discovered the identity of the last class cards. Swordsman and Mage were decent enough, even if they were the basic starter cards. A strong foundation is important. Not that I had used either before. Is Archer not here just to spite me? Terrible.
However, the final card was the custom class card. How excited and happy I would have been to use this a few minutes ago. It was this very thing that made me regret dying. Something that should have filled me with hope only caused me needless caution. Isn’t this just another trap by Focker? Won’t I be tricked into an absolutely trash class?
.
.
But Focker most likely would have realized that I would reach this selfsame conclusion. To further increase my despair, this class card was most likely the very embodiment of everything in a class that I wanted. Something that would put my dream of the Archer and Mana Creationalist combination to shame. By choosing one of the other cards and then showing me this one, I would become wracked with regret and behave nonsensically, which I can only imagine makes the sick god happy. And then the card would be snatched away.
The obvious conclusion to this should be to choose the Swordsman or Mage class card.
But I refuse.
I choose the custom class card!

I curled up into a fetal position on the floor.
