《Reincarnated as a Pillbug monster》Prologue: New World

[Uuuugh...]
I nearly threw up, but I managed to hold it in.
I shouldn't have drunk so much at the party. I shouldn't have, but I just couldn't control myself.
I mean, what asshole you need to be to invite someone to the party where they barely know a soul
and then leave them at the entrance, because some chick called them for a "talk"...
It will be fun, he said. It will be unforgettable, he said. Yeah, maybe for you.
Anyway, I need to get to the bus stop as soon as possible,
I have a test tomorrow and I don't want to miss it when I studied so much for it.
Let's see, 00:04 huh ?
I have around 30 minutes before the last bus.
.....
The bus stop should be around here somewhere, right ?
..... right ?
O.MY.GOD. Don't tell me that I just got lost, please...
Ugh, I should have paid more attention to my surroundings when I come here.
Huh ? What's this white line on the road? Maybe a line for bicycles, I guess?
And who the hell is shining that light into my eyes, I can't see shit because of it!
Hmm? Wait...
Something isn't right here...
[Welcome, please choose one of the options]
Suddenly, a voice out of nowhere started talking to me. No way, am I hallucinating now !?
But all I drank was beer and a little bit of wine, did maybe someone put something into my drink ?
Great, this night is becoming better and better...
[Please choose one of the options]
The voice said again. It was a woman's voice. Probably an adult but I'm not sure because it's was so cold and monotone...
Remind me of a girl I met at the party. She was bored as hell, came there only because of a friend.

We had a great time complaining about it, and then even exchanged numbers...
[Please choose one of the options]
The voice said again.... aaaah, I'm feel sleepy...
[Ya, ya, stop yapping. What are the options...]
I asked. This is going nowhere, might as well go with the flow... Where am I anyway?
[Acknowledged]
[[Load old world] [Create new world]]

HAA ? What the hell is this ?
I'm starting to think that I actually already passed out on my way to a bus stop... and now I'm having a really weird dream...
Not like this is the first time something like this happened to me, but still...
something just doesn't feel right...
A hologram-like projection appeared in front of me. This definitely looks like a game screen.
I wonder why am I dreaming about a game, I'm not that much of a gamer, to be honest...
Well, I go along for now. I press [Create new world].
[Acknowledged]
The voice replied in the same cold and monotone way.
[[Load old profile] [Create new profile]]
Eeeeh? I'm tempted to see what is the first choice, but I always start the game from the beginning, sooo...
I press [Create new profile].
[Acknowledged]
[Please choose the name for the new world [new name]]
[Please choose the difficulty [default]]
The voice said as two new hologram-like projections appeared in front of me.
Hmm, with the name, let's go with something simple and easy to remember. As for difficulty, I wonder which options there are...
I pressed the [new name] and a new projection appeared below the first one. It looks like a keyboard...
For the name I wrote "Roshar" and then I pressed on [default] as new projection appeared below it.
[[Easy] [Normal] [Hard] [Very Hard]]
I always play on easy or normal, it's not that I can't handle the challenge,

but I simply don't have that much free time to play a game nowadays...
Studying and all, is this why I'm having this dream ?
Anyway, I pressed [Normal]...

[Solution: Change the profile race from Race:Human to a default Race:World Isotopa.]
[[Yes] [No]]
Eeeeh ? wait, wait, wait...
This is throwing red flags all over the place!!! What did the voice said anyway ?
I couldn't understand a thing, there was just too much information thrown at me all at once...
What the hell is "world isopoda" anyway ?! No way I'm gonna play as a race I haven't a clue about...
It didn't even start yet there are errors occurring already ?
Patch this shit up, dammit.
Even for a early access, this is below 0/10 !!!
Ugh, why the hell am I dreaming about this anyway ?
I'm done, where's the [Quit] button ?!
[Please choose one of the options]
The voice said, making me even more annoyed...
There isn't any [Quit] button around... How do I wake up from this nightmare ?
Do I really need to use the good old "pinch the cheek" method ?
No, wait. If I think about it, the mysterious voice responded to my voice at the beginning... Maybe...
[Quit]
...
..
.
[Quit]
The mysterious voice did not respond. This is making me even more annoyed, like I didn't have a bad day already...
[Quit, Exit, Ctrl-alt-Del...]
Nothing is working, looks like I need to use that...
[Ouch... AAAAAH !!!]
I did it with all my strength, but I still didn't wake up...
What's more, my cheeks are so painful on fire, what's going on here ?!
I shouldn't feel any pain in a dream, at least not this realistically...
[err, excuse me ?]
Suddenly, the mysterious voice responded and it didn't sound cold and monotone as before.
It catched me completely off guard, and I reflexively replied with [Yes ?]
[Acknowledged]
[The answer [Yes] has been selected]
[Changing profile race from Race:Human to Race:World Isopoda]
Wait,wait,waitwaitwait a damn second !!!
Now you heard me bitch! Even your voice recognition software is malfunctioning !
Aaaaah, I feel so sleepy, I want to just go to sleep !!!
Wait, what... What am I even saying ?
[Change complete]
[Starting the "Resurrection" system]
Stop, I can't... I can't think straight... sooo sleepy...

The Event Master
It is a reincarnation/transmigration story where the MC can only do magic that is socially condemned, but is protected somewhat by his powerful political station. For as long as he can keep it, anyway. With a little luck and some modern world thinking, perhaps he'll come up with something to change people's minds. Not forcefully though, that would be unethical. ** The MC is not a fighter. He's a gamer. He loves rpgs, movies, modern music, and telling stories. I intend to post at least once a week in the range of 2k words. If work eases up I'll increase the amount again. ((Work has instead intensified to the point where I'm struggling to get a chapter every two weeks. I'll pick it back up properly when I can, but for now it is on temporary hiatus while I still might post every once and awhile. This winter, I plan to go back to regular posts until the story finishes.))
