Memories of my earlier life came to me. Before my reincarnation, I was a college student living alone and didn't have a good relationship with my parents. They saw me as a good-for-nothing who would never achieve anything in life. Man, I hate having to get up every day and go on with my miserable life as an average college student. I turned on the TV and watched a little anime. I was currently watching ''That time I got reincarnated as a Slime''. The second season was still running at the time. This was a very engaging anime and I was a fan of the series. ''I think I'll go to the library today and get the new volumes in the series. I really need to know what's next.'' I spoke to myself, since I lived alone in the apartment.

Man my life is really dull. If only I had a girlfriend. My life as a nerd left its mark. I was pretty much a basement kid who either only went out to study or stayed at home and watched anime. That was my life in a nutshell. However, it also had something good, because I stayed in my apartment I didn't have to worry about Corona. After all, you don't get sick if you don't have contact with people. I took the mask and wore it around my mouth and stretched vigorously. I'm going to buy the new two volumes of the series very quickly and then it's straight back to my apartment.

I quickly put on my jacket and left my apartment. On the way to the bookstore, I checked my cell phone to see if my parents had contacted me. I got a message from my mother. However, I didn't open the message, believing that she just wanted to criticize me again for what a good-for-nothing I was. Along the side streets I passed the bookshop. It was a relatively old store, I was surprised it was still open. ''Takeshi, nice to see you again! What do you want to buy today?'' the shopkeeper told me, pleased to see me as I was his regular customer. ''The two new tapes of That time I got reincarnated as a Slime please'' I replied.

He asked me to follow him and led me to one of the shelves that only had anime novels on it. One book in particular caught my eye, it was called ''World of Dawn''. I picked up the book and read the prologue. ''Aramoto Kakumo, he's my age, so a light novel? The prologue reads really dark.'' I whispered, speaking to myself. Suddenly there was a loud noise in the area and everything started to shake. There was an earthquake and the whole store could not stand the shaking and collapsed. I saw pieces of the roof fall on the shopkeeper, so I ran and pushed him aside. I was able to save his life, but all the debris crushed my body. It hurts. I am scared. Am I going to die now? I'm still a virgin. That's really shitty, damn it, my life can't end like this!

My eyes slowly closed and I partially lost consciousness. I heard a rescue squad trying to clear the rubble that was on top of me. The voices got duller and quieter, however, until I couldn't hear anything anymore. That's it then, I'm dying. Suddenly, images flew past my eyes, memories of that Aramoto Kakumo. My current memories, on the other hand, were becoming increasingly sparse and I only remembered things that seemed impossible in my world. My name was now Aramoto Kakumo and I continued the life of this protagonist after the dark prologue.
