"Oh, a new game sequel..

FF654 Final Mix, huh. I wonder how these people never seem to get bored playing this stuff. It's been a millenium since this came out, and it's still isn't done? Ah, whatever. I'll buy it anyway."

My name is Nyx Krývoun. I'm over 10700 years old, with an appearance of a 17 year old. In this age, Immortality isn't a big deal, in fact, everyone is immortal. No one dies anymore, and let me tell you,

It fucking sucks.

In my whole life, I haven't experienced a single thing to make my immortal life worth living. I don't have a reason to live anymore, so just please, let me sleep.

That was my dream ever since. I dream of an everlasting sleep where I could finally be in peace. As the years, centuries, who am I kidding, milleniums went on, I don't know what to do anymore. I don't know what to feel about this anymore. I became apathetic. The feeling of boredom and exhaustion, those are the only exceptions. Living for the same damn reasons every single day for a lifetime. No, for eternity, is hellish. Seriously, the only things I like in this world are games.

Games, games, games, games.

Atleast the characters in a game, they meet their ends. Either happy or sad, they experience their stories ending.

"Nyx! Don't put your ropes and knives in the living room!"

I took up suicide as a hobby.

"HEY NYX!"

Hmmm... oh wait, someone's calling.

"What..?"

"Oh come on, just smile at me or something. You're wasting your good damn looks."

"What?"

"Nothing, shut up. Come on, let's eat."

"Ok.."

I'm currently living in with my childhood friend, Miz. We live at my parents' house. Well technically, it's mine now, since they gave it to me. Miz's parents also came with them, and from what they said, they're going to swim around the whole world now. It's been 700 years since they left, I guess they're still going? I don't really care..

I have no job at the moment, and I am basically a NEET. Jobs are boring anyway, and its not like I do need a job, I have enough money to buy games. Well, I don't buy food, Miz does, and she kinda doesn't want to see me starve so she just gives me food.

Now that I think about it, I'm basically a pet in my own house.

Well, atleast it's free? Wait, crap, I forgot to buy the game. Are they still open at this hour?

"Nyx,"

I guess I can download it in the internet?

"Nyx,"

Nah, I want to play it now. I'd just run to the store and just grab a cop-

"NYX!!"

"Oh sorry, I didn't hear you. What is it?"

"I got the game that got released today, I thought you might like it.."

"You got a copy? Play it, it's really good. You can use my console there."

"No, I-I wanted to give it to you.."

"Really?"

"Really. Come on, this costs a lot! Play it!"

"Okay, thanks. *smiles*"

"*internal screaming*: (Holy shit did he just smile. HE JUST SMILED. HELP. ITS SO DAMN CUTE. ITS THE FIRST TIME IN A MILLENIUM SHIIIIIIIIIII-)"

"Uhhh, Miz? Are you ok?"

"yES, sHuT UP I GOTTA DO SOMETHING!"

"Yeah, sure, okay. I'm going to play it now, see you later."

"yES yEP OK bE RIGHT BACK (all those times of being ignored are paying off!!!!)

(I know she's got this thing for me.. but, I actually think of her as my older sister.. well, sometimes...)

God, I can't help but smile.

This day has the most events I've probably ever experienced. Or so I thought.

After a year of playing the whole FF series, (Yes, 1-654, completed in a year.) Miz and I went on that trip that got postponed for a year, it was my idea though so it's ok. She.. fainted at first, I thought she hated it, but she woke up and got, I don't know, excited? I can't really tell.

In this age, the continents are connected via trains. Really fast trains. Miz and I hopped on a train going to the Philippines, because Miz kept suggesting it.

Inside the train, I can see the ocean. The ocean's vast horizon. In a way, it's just like me. It's vast, and it's probably going to be here for millions of years to come, and like me, it stays at the same place. Even though it's vast, it goes back to where it started, it doesn't move on, it's kinda just there.

Atleast for me, I got to learn everything I wanted to, so there's nothing for me to do anymore. I want to die. Just kill me already!

"Water?" said the guy. I guess he's one of the staff in the train.

"Yeah, thanks."

Miz fell asleep, and her head fell on my shoulder. Soon after, I fell asleep too.

And that's how I achieved my wish. Death. Although, I didn't get an everlasting sleep.

After I woke up, I saw Miz running towards me in this..

White... room?

"HEY NYX! WHERE THE HELL DID YOU TAKE ME! WHY ARE WE IN A.. room-"

She fainted, again. I don't understand her.

More importantly, I don't understand.. this. We were on a train, who moved us-

"In the year 2000, Mankind feared death. In some way, they found out that the consciousness is the main factor of death. If you lose your consciousness permanently, you'll pass away, without knowing you did. So, all they have to do is to prolong the consciousness of a human, and they did. Although that human died, there were more and more humans that popped up that lived up to 500 years, then 1000, then the state that we're today. Our bodies evolved, our cells became much and much more fast in dividing, and today, it's called regeneration. The only thing preventing your deaths. That's how humans were able to achieved immortality, it's all thanks to yourselves, you were bound to get it."

His demeanor is like a king. He speaks clearly, and without stuttering. I guess he's just really good at giving speeches. Also, is that how we became immortal? Like I know, I bet he's just making stuff up.

"Uhh, okay, who are you?"

"AND oH HOW I ROYALLY SCREWED UP!"

And his king-like stance broke, and he started blabbering things I really didn't get.

"DAMN IT! I SHOULD'VE FOLLOWED THE FORMULA! NOW IT GOT OUT OF HAND, CRAP!"

"Hey, uhh, are you ok?"

"NO. OF COURSE NOT."

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"ITS BECAUSE OF YOU ALL, YOU ALL BECAME UNDYING AND STUFF. NOW I DON'T HAVE ANY SUBSTITUTES LEFT!"

"Dude, seriously, what the actual fuck are you talking about."

"I'M NOT A DUDE!"

"What, but you're body.-"

He instantly shapeshifted into a girl, then a boy again, then some.. other.. forms? After 5 minutes, he turned into a she. A.. loli?

"See, I'm not a dude, I'm everything! I create, although I need votes if I want to destroy something. They'd get angry at me if I started destroying my creations. Ok, anyway, hello there, Nyx, was it?"

"How did you know my name?"

"Oh, that's because I'm Gaia. You're dead. I finally made a breakthrough, after all these years. I finally killed.. not one of you, but two!"

"Oh ok, neat. Do I get to sleep forever now?"

???: "What, no shock or something? No crying and stuff? You're not going to ask why you two are the ones that got killed?"

"That does seem kind of strange... why us?"

"I'm glad you asked. The both of you are one of the most weak-willed in your planet. You already gave up on life, and the girl over there is still trying to do.. something, but she knows she can't get what she wants. Honestly, I think she already is one of the most strong-willed at some time, but then after thousands of years, that will is slowly detoriating, and it just so happens that you two are together in a train so it's easier."

"I guess that's true..."

"You're not worried about suddenly dying?"

"I kinda wanted this... So yeah... Do I sleep now?"

"Well, what about your parents? Look!"

She showed me a screen with my parents over my funeral. They were smiling though.

"See? Look at how sad they a-...

what the hell is wrong with you people? You 2 were the first to die in over 2 million years, and this is their reactions?!"

"Well, they knew I wanted to die. So they're happy for me, they're happy that I finally got my wish."

"What, *sigh*, ok, let's just end this. You'll get reincarnated. Since there is this king, I think it was a demon king? Yeah, I think, I don't know, anyway, It's killing a lot of people there. Now, your universe, specifically your planet, was the perfect place for me to get substitutes. Substitutes are you, and her, and those people on your world. Then I substitute their lives with yours, in order to do errands I don't want to do. Basically like trading, I'll trade their lives then put your lives in their bodies, which basically becomes your own bodies. I meant your past appearances, knowledge and stuff. You'll retain your memories, and your undying body."

"I was on board with the last adventure stuff, but why would you let me become immortal again. If I die, then I die."

"I can put it away, but making the speed of your cell division slower will take me a lot of time, and there are like a lot of cells in a body. And also, I am lazy. That's why I'm making you do my errands. Kill the demon king, and I'll give you that everlasting sleep that you want."

"Fine, ok, what about Miz? Why did you get Miz?"

"I can't sayyyy~"

"She would.. die too?"

"Yep, you and her both. If you kill the demon king, that is."

"Is she okay with it?"

"Oh trust me, she is, it's why I sent her here too. She reaally lo-"

"Okay, put me in that world. I'll kill the demon king or whatever."

Right, ok, Miz, wake up.

"What? What happened?"

"It's time to go now. Ok, Gaia, we're ready."

"Alright."

Gaia tapped the table, and they were transported to the other world.

Gaia pulls out the screen from above. It's connected to their planet's television, so she could watch what they are watching. The headline said: 2 PEOPLE MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPEARED IN TRAIN.

The staff that brought them water testified. He said that in a blink of an eye, they were gone. No traces of jumping out of the train's window because the windows are all still intact.

After a couple of days of searching, they were officially labelled as *DEAD*. It ushered in a new era of myths, and people were getting scared. The media and press were swarming and trying to get to Nyx's funeral. Nyx's parents continued smiling, until his mother broke down and cried. Miz's parents were also doing the same thing.

"I guess, after 2 million years, they still haven't changed." Gaia said.
