“Could we skip this?” It asked to no one. “to something that matters.”

[Neuronal Nexus ERROR: Active]
“This should mean that I am actually human, right?” It asked to itself. “Neurons are living species shit. Therefore I exist. Who said it? I think I got it wrong. Socrates? Plato? I cannot remember and this makes me hungry… ehmm, angry, angry not hungry.”
[Neuronal Symbiosis Check: Success]
“I should be at least alive, this entry confirms it.” It asked because it was its only action available.
[Activating World Simulation 4D Time-Estructural Axis: ERROR]

“What was that simulation thing?” It asked once again, revising the log. “4D Time-Estructural Axis? Archano-Crystal Index? What does this mean? The first sounds like some sci-fi stuff and the second fantasy, but actually not. It is not Arcano, so no magical bullshittery, it says Archano-Crystal, so it must be a name, isn’t it?

“This is when I was introduced forcefully into… this” Said It, looking around it. “So my name is actually It or you are toying with me like The Voice? Not the TV show, the spanish voice. “It clarified. And It thought about stopping questions once again. “I did not, or did I?”

[As expected...]
“Okay this is the really weird part. Previously the log resembled a somewhat real log. But then this commentary appeared ‘A hero’s welcome I see’ and ‘As expected’. I think I skip it but there was also a ‘Ah yes, this was expected’ addition.” It remembered, searching for clues. It felt a bit betray, this terminal didn’t help It search the exit, only a log of what happened. Someone could say that this metadiegesis wasn’t the work for a intern narrator, but It still was angry, and not hungry. “Yeah, thank you for reminding me my errors… NOW PERISH.

Wait no, a voice said to It. DON’T DO IT.
[Narrator Mode Off]
“I don’t know why I activated in the first place.” I monologued myself. “Ah yes, now I remember. To stop this fucking mologue! I really hate this crappy situation, this crappy world and my crappy life. Even though I don’t fucking remember nothing!”
How the narrator mentioned, maybe I need some linguistic tools to reorganize what happened. So… Flashback! I shall summon you!
As I heard the voice I just “FUUUUUCK!” cried. This is going to be a long day.
I stand up. Somehow, I was now a bodiless being. Yay! Now I am no longer human. Did I say that I don’t know what is happening? Yes, I did. And this paragraph now contains two Jojo references. What’s a Jojo reference? I don’t know. I sighed, I may have to get used to this.
Firstly, I think I just time travelled. Secondly, I am in the aether, or at least a very white dimension. ‘Cause I ain’t rememberin’ anyting this ain’t heaven. Well let’s discard fact one. I does not make sense, this might be a prerecorded message every time I… change level? Not so wild of a theory. Or at least wilder than time travelling. Well… the simulation could have rewinded, but no me, so it actually would time travel.
The instant I stop thinking and then existing I saw it. A terminal. A terminal? How does it looks? The way it looks? How does it taste? I don’t know. It is tasty? Maybe? Fucking brain. Think straight for once.
A blue screen was levitating in the middle of… well… white. I approached the screen. No sudden moves, nothing. I did not want to chase a two dimensional object being myself a incorporeal being inside a hollow realm.

[Would you like to activate Narrator Mode?]
A voice, not a spanish human one, but an artificial anthropomorphic english voice spoke.
“OH HELL YES! GIVE IT TO ME BABY”
[Narrator Mode On]
It cried needlessly in the void, noticing its stupidity since nobody would listen to him. A stupid being with stupid reasons inside a realm of nothing but its stupidity.
“Oh…” It sighed. “I am SO regretting this.”

Gobbo
Its not easy being green. Or any other color. Life's just kinda shit in general. At least it is for a goblin trying to survive on their own. I'll admit I've burned a few bridges, but in my defense, they were oh so flammable, and burned beautifuly. At any rate, I'm an exile now, scraping by in human lands, where pitchforks and torches are always just around the corner. I'd look for a better life, but I've got my hands full just staying alive when any random asshole could turn out to be a retired adventurer strong enough to hold ten bulls above their head with one hand tied behind their back. How did they pull that bullshit anyway?

---Warning for people with suicidal tendencies--- Life was going well for the rich, intelligent and athletic girl Pacific Hanasaki. But she suddenly decided to commit suicide because of her logical reasoning, “What’s the point of living if you already have what you want?” Yet she didn’t die at all, because Judgment Day has arrived: where God decides who goes to Heaven. He decided that he wants to bring every human to Heaven. There is an exception though, the Sinners: living people who attempted suicide. There is only one way for a Sinner to go to heaven: kill everyone and be the last one alive. In a world where no one is born and everyone will die, the Sinners are tasked to purge the Earth with the help of a companion, Angels, each with different powers. Pacific was given the Angel of Secrets, Raziel. Can Pacific successfully kill everyone and remain alive while other Sinners do the same and hunt each other down? How can she even kill other sinners? Also featuring some of my art. This is my first story so I really appreciate constructive criticism especially because I tried writing such a controversial topic. Thank you.
