A void. Silent. Endless. Jinn floated like a deleted character in a glitched loading screen.
"Okay," he said out loud, his voice echoing nowhere. "Either I'm dead or I unlocked VR Ultra Mode."
In response, a glowing message flickered to life in front of him:
You have died. Welcome to: Random Rebirth Roulette™
"...Are you kidding me?"
A massive spinning wheel appeared, each segment labeled with mythical races. Dragon. Elf. Vampire. Goblin. Angel. Orc. Even Unicorn?!
Jinn squinted. "Where's the 'God Mode' option?"
But the wheel had other plans. It slowed. Tick. Tick. Tick... and stopped.
Congratulations! You are now: SLIME.
He stared. Blinked. Then sighed into the void.
"...Of course."
