Chapter 1.1: That time when I died performing a really cool trick and was thusly reincarnated
"Ufufufu" Kamiko ufufufued. "You still don't understand what has happened to you, do you?"
I pondered her question. What had happened to me? The last thing I remember was doing an epic sicknasty kickflip and thoroughly impressing both of my friends. And then... the train. This must be some kind of afterlife or something like the pre-game to an afterlife, which presented some pretty deep philosophical questions about the nature of life and religion, as well as whether there'd be a keg at the afterlife, or if I should look for a pre-afterlife liquor store or something. But now was not the time to be having worldview-upending revelations! There was something much more important to focus on than that!
"Kamiko, is that you?" I asked, staring at the mysterious figure who looked exactly like my grade-school childhood friend.
"Yes," she replied. Well, good, that cleared up about all the questions I had.
She snapped her finger, and suddenly the TV changed, from displaying VIDEO 1 in the corner, to a live feed of... my life?!

"You have died, unfortunately. But all hope is not lost for your sad sorry soul, you pathetic loser~" she teased, her fang glinting maliciously as she winked with one of her multitudinous eyes that spun about her head in geometric patterns.
"Fucking brutal," I replied. This girl! She was always taunting me, even in grade school. But, as soon as I thought about that, more questions suddenly popped into my head again, like remembering you forgot your keys as soon as you lock your front door.
"Chouto mate a second," I said, "But if you're Kamiko... then... why are you here?"
Kamiko grinned a smile at my confusion, gesturing to her lectern, and to the TV, and to the fog machine in the corner that was currently set to "ethereal, ominous mist".
"As I said. You have died, and I am here to minestrone over your soul."
"Do you mean administrate?" I asked. "And why do you get to minestrone over my soul? Shouldn't it be like, God or a hot anime girl or something?"
"You fool!" she bakaed. "Don't you realize yet? I am a God!"
I stared at her in confusion. "A... God? What does that mean?"
Kamiko smiled, flexing her tiny arms. "Omnipotent. Omniscient. Sovereign. Immutable. A God!"
My confusion doubled as I frowned at her. "Explain further," I requested.
"I am an all-powerful being, with extradimensional presence, and otherworldly duties."
"I don't understand."
She sighed. "I am a kami."
"Oh, okay. Thank you for explaining." I said.
The realization rocked me like a hurricane. Kamiko was... a... a God? There was no way. I had gone to great lengths to count the ways this could be real, but I must have missed one, probably in the back of the fridge or something. I couldn't believe that she was telling the truth, but yet for the sake of the narrative, I must accept her claim at face value!
"Congratulations," I replied. "I knew I should have studied better in middle school."
She teleproted behind me and hit me with a comically large hammer she pulled from nowhere, causing a fractured skull, several shattered vertebrae, and most importantly a hilarious visual gag as I was sent flying.

"I was always a God, you dummy!" (TL Note: dummy means fool)
I ricocheted calmly through the small infinite space, my mind whirling. But something about what she said didn't make sense, and it wasn't just her claim of deific status.
"But... if you were a God, what were you doing in my grade school? And... why are you still ten?"
Kamiko rolled her eyes at me. " 'Why am I ten?' You think I'm ten? What a grand and intoxicating innocence! I'm a God! My true age is behind your comprehension, puny mortal!"
"How old are you?" I asked, uncomprehending.
"Fourty-seven," she replied. My head spun, my eyes rolled in my head, and my heart literally exploded out of my chest, but that last one was probably because she had hit me with the hammer again. If what she was saying was true... then we didn't have to sneak into that movie theater! But wait, no... there was a more important question to ask!
"If you're a God, why were you pretending to be a grade-schooler?"
"My goals are beyond your understanding," she explained, carefully kicking aside a pile of restaurant fliers that advertised "Kids Eat free!"
I came skidding to a halt, the violent aftermath of her attack finally subsiding. With a snap of her fingers, my broken body unbroked itself, and I was back to my prime condition.
"But we've wasted enough time!" she huffed, walking back over to the lectern and hopping up behind it. "It's time to get you sorted out for the next step."
"What is the next step?" I asked, a pit opening up in my stomach (not a literal one, that had been healed two paragraphs ago). I was worried about what my future might hold. Maybe I would get into heaven, but what if I didn't? What if I went to H-E-double hockeysticks, or someplace worse, like Detroit. What if I had to replay my life over and over, unable to change anything, and unaware that I was replaying the same life, in some sort of sick endless cycle. What if I owed taxes? I stared up at the girl who would be minestroning my life, waiting with bated breath.
"You will be reincarnated," she said in a hush, "Into a sick-ass game-like fantasy world."
Whaaaat? I was going to be reincarnated into another world? This was just like one of my favorites animes, or like one of the many stories online that I've read before, housed on such places as royalroad.com. Was this truly the fate I was going to get? What had I done to deserve this prize? I was just an average guy. Suddenly, I thought I had an idea!
I sighed in relief. "Is it because I heroically sacrificed myself, even though it wasn't my time to die?"
The God at the lectern shook her head. "No, that actually was your fated time to die," she explained. She leaned in, giving me a sly smile and a thumbs up.
"But, that was a really sicknasty kickflip you did there right before you died, so you get a second chance."
"Oh!" I said, surprised. "I thought you were going to say something like you were actually in love with me, haha."
She turned bright red all of the sudden, for no reason. She must have bitten her tongue. I stared at the TV, which was now showing a sizzle reel with dragons and hot busty anime babes and magicians and hot busty anime dragons and all sorts of things you expected to see in a fantasy game-like world. There was even a dwarf!
"So... this game-like fantasy litRPG world..." I mused, "Will I have a really super awesome cheat-like ability?"
Kamiko recovered from her blushing and nodded.
"Of course! And that's exactly what comes next. We're going to figure out what power you're going to get in order to defeat the wicked, all-powerful Demon Lord."
"Oh, cool!" I said. This was exciting! I couldn't wait to see what ability I would get to beat the Demon Lord...
Wait... Demon Lord?!

The Kodoku Game
In Japanese folklore, there once existed an ancient technique among alchemists for harvesting the strongest poison known to man. A poison so vicious, so horrendous, that a single drop could incapacitate an entire nation of humans, several times over. A poison so intense that a single drop could turn the tides of a war on its head. As potent as it appeared however, this poison could be harvested from the blood of a single insect alone- an insect the alchemist’s called the ‘Kodoku’. As lucrative as was attaining this poison however, the problem lied in identifying this insect- its appearance, shape and size changed from region to region and from continent to continent. Sometimes it took the appearance of a ladybug and other times a horned-beetle. In order to determine the identity of this special insect the alchemists came up with an ingenious method. They created an impregnable jar of clay out of the best sandstone they could find and placed hundreds of different insects into the same jar. The jar was made with such great mastery that it allowed no insects to escape and allowed no objects to enter. The laws of nature dictated that the insects would remain together in the jar forever. However, it turned out that as time went on, the insects’ hunger for food and power caused them to turn against each other- one insect ate another until only one remained. This sole insect contained a poison that far surpassed that of all the others and became stronger as it ate more and more insects. The alchemists at this point had succeeded in identifying the Kodoku and could extract it’s poison as long as they continued to feed it regularly. Although this folklore ends here, the actual story does not. One day, as the alchemists cheered in joy of having identified the Kodoku they so eagerly wanted, they forgot to close the lid on the very jar that was considered to be completely impregnable. This small gap was just large enough for the Kodoku inside to crawl out. Famished from not having been fed for weeks, the Kodoku ended up eating the very alchemists that nourished its growth until not even the bones remained. Yet, the Kodoku’s hunger didn’t seem to subside in the slightest. So it traveled to the next village and began eating whatever it could find there. Its poison made it unparalleled in strength and slowly but surely it began to dwindle down the population of the entire city. Yet its hunger only continued to grow. So it traveled to the next city over and ate all it could there. Very soon, the Kodoku couldn’t find any more food to eat. There was no one left to eat and no one left to spectate. So it stood there, by itself pondering what possibly was left to eat that could satiate its hunger. But there was one thing left that Kodoku realized it had never eaten. Itself.
