"Is that all you got? SHOW ME YOUR ALL"
I picked up my weapon and rushed into the hoard of enemies that surrounded me As I slashed through them all with ease.
"this might be the easiest quest I've been on-"
I was attacked by a group of goblins and inevitably died.
"DAMN IT! It took me HOURS to get to that point!"
My name is Natomaki Satoshi, I'm a 17 year old male who lives in the hell of a city known as Tokyo, Japan. I've been a no life shut-in ever since I entered high school, Its a simple and relaxing life style for me. I used to be told I was pretty smart but after awhile I started slacking and at least in my eyes: lost that title.
"Hey, Sato you there?" Mino, one of my in game party members said through my headset. "Maybe if you weren't dozing off so much you wouldn't have died to such low level mobs!"
"Cut him some slack, the dudes been doing this for what? 3 days now. he's sure to have some fatigue after awhile and he made it way farther this time." Another one of my party members, Dummy (yea he decided to name himself that) said, trying to cheer me up a bit. He was always usually the nicest one out of all us, wouldn't be surprised if he's the one keeping the peace around here.
"Sato, if you just asked us instead of going all ahead we could have gotten it done together." The party "leader" Test-Subject said to me
"yeah right, like I'd ask the guy named Test-Subject to come and help me!"
"You're just saying that cause my names cooler than yours, Satoroll!"
I can't lie he's right, Satoroll doesn't sound like the name of a cool and powerful hero
"That's enough, my eyes are tired I'm getting off" I said before taking off my headset and exiting the game. I didn't even feel like hearing them say goodbye, I was too tired from all the time I had spent on this game anyways.
I'd been playing the game for years, started off as a stress reliever now turned into a full time lifestyle. Its not like I had anything better to do anyway. I stopped going to school sometime last year due to mental stress and haven't been back since. I never really had a job and mostly resorted to content creation just for a quick buck and all it goes to is my collection of Anime and video game figures. My parents check up on me every once in awhile, at first it was to try and get me to go back to school but after some time it just became the telling me if dinner was ready or if i was alive or not.
I rested my head on my pillow, hoping I could fall asleep without having to take anything or exhausting my body even more. My last thought before passing out was a simple but deep one: Could I ever do something with myself, could I change for the better and help someone?
I felt my eyelids getting heavier and heavier and after a few seconds I had drifted off to sleep
"Damn This ones sure a heavy sleeper, He better be able to put all that energy to use" I heard a voice that was completely unfamiliar to me say. It sounded like a woman but the only one I talk with is my mom and that voice is nothing like hers.
I open my eyes and I realized: I'm not in my bed, I'm not in my room, and everything looks so off, nothing I'd ever seen before.
I got up slowly to see where I was and it seemed to be... A Laboratory, a big one at that.
The woman I heard before turned to me and seemed ecstatic. She was somewhat shorter than me and she had her hair in a bun that was quite messy, not like I could say anything with my messy overgrown head of hair. There was one thing that caught my eye though: Her ears were pointy like those elves in those fantasy RPG games. I was so confused that I didn't even process that she was in front of me.
"You finally woke up! Was worried you were gonna be sleeping there forever!" She chuckled and then picked up a chart.
"You seem to be alright despite being clearly sleep deprived but so am I so where's my place to judge" She said as her eyebags became much more visible after closer inspection.
"My names Lilac, nice to meet you Subject 009!" She said enthusiastically as she goes and shakes my hand
"Subject? What the hell is going on here?"
"You see as payment for me saving your life from dying on the streets you shall be my newest test subject! You have two jobs: 1. Getting whatever samples I request from where or whoever I need in whatever ways possible, 2. Testing them all on yourself! I'm currently researching on enhancing the human body due to them being so much weaker than all the races. My goal is to be the one who puts a stop to it and revolution the hierarchy of humans for generations to come!"
"So what do you say, you ready to change the world?" She extended her hand out one last time
Without hesitation I shook her hand, With no idea how I was going to survive this new life.
