I gotta be hallucinating, yeah why the fuck would I be in a game that is just purely impossible… maybe I fall into a coma… yeah those machines keeping me alive… I am just a potato in real life… He thought as he looked at the gates of the Forgotten Gods realm.
"Mom! Unplug me! I'm not going to live in a false reality, do it, Ma! You promised me!" He shouted from the top of his lungs but his words didn't reach anybody, only the vast skies and clouds… yeah their promise was heard by no one…
A promise that was made by his parents and him, a promise that was just terrifying to even think about. It was simple, if Lucius falls into a coma or becomes fully paralyzed, they will unplug him from the machine keeping him alive. They were going to let him go… let him go to the afterlife in peace… yeah, that was their promise. If the cancer takes his whole body just let him die, do not keep him with machines in a dream-like state or who knows what exactly.
"Mother! Father! Plug me—"
"Why are you shouting?" A sudden voice came from behind his back, and for a moment he just completely froze, didn't even turn around… and the reason for it was because the voice was too familiar.
A sweet voice full of innocence, a voice that he had heard thousands of times… and when he finally turned around to see it with his eyes she was truly there as he remembered her.
Her deep purple dress, the golden braided hair with the golden cane in her hand… and most importantly the diamond that replaced her two eyes… the two big ass diamonds that shine like nothing else in the world.
"Miu…?" He was still shocked by the… reality of all of it… like she was truly too real, her breasts, her legs, her face, her everything, those diamond eyes, the sound of it as she started to walk toward him… yeah, the noise of the cane was too real, too sharp.
"It's me, Lucius. Nice to see you again." She said as she finally reached him and slowly with her pale hand touched Lucius's face… it was warm… not just that but the smell of her was exactly like how the game described it.…
Mirelda Isenwyn Urathis, known simply as Miu, the Goddess of Wanderers.
In the game, she is essentially the tutorial guide, the players' assistant. According to the game's lore, all players begin as wanderers, and only later choose their classes. After completing the tutorial mission assigned by Miu, during which she stays by their side, she essentially acts as the system itself for the players within the game.
"T-this can't be real…" He whispered as stared at her… more like starred at her big boobs, that too was like just in the game… that dress only covered her nipples… and those nipples seemed too real… as well her whole being.
"It is real, Lucius!" She shouted now with a joyful voice as she spun around and just like in the game as she did it a golden sparks formed around her. "This is Eldoria, the palace where you belong, the palace where the journey starts!"
"Yeah, I'm in a coma, and the nasty part of my brain is still functioning…" He said as he kept staring at her boobs.
"Can you finally stop it?" she asked, but now her sweet voice kind of faded away. "Just accept it, why do you act like this? And stop staring at my boobs, you freak." She said as she covered her boob with her hands.
"What…?"
"Yeah, you died, you freak, just accept it. Why do you need to do this 'Oh I'm hallucinating—'" She mimicked him. "You died, a painful and terrible death. You are not plugged into the machine, you are not even in the hospital anymore, your body was cremated and you are in an urn."
Now this was something… something truly confusing to Lucius. "Y-You went off script…" He said as pointed at her.
"Because this is not a game." She said as she stepped once again toward him and pointed her finger to his forehead. "This… is… not… a… game." She poked him and he felt her sharp golden nails.
How much fentanyl they gave me… this has got to be an overdose of it… a trip? I am drugged…
"I can hear your thoughts." She said but now her facial expression changed too, she looked like she was fed up with his bullshit. "You are not on fentanyl, Lucius, you are not on the machine okay?" She looked at him again. "You're dead, you got cremated, your body is in an urn and now you are in Eldoria."
"Wait… how do you know about fentanyl and machines… the game is set in a fictional time period without any modern things… and you operate by script and codes… you can't talk about it… you can't know about my death or what happened after it."
Yeah, the fucked up part about it was that Miu went off script, not just that, but knowing about modern medicine and machines… knowing that his body was already in a urn… it was something totally different now… like it wasn't just impossible anymore, but absurd to even think about it.
"Oh I know it." She laughed. "Your parents are grieving you, your friend too… but something greater than death happened… you were invited into the game, the game that is not a game anymore but life, and you are a being in here."
Finally, it snapped to him… finally, he started pulling it all together, or at least tried. The thing his mother did, she accepted an invitation… and that invitation was to the game. "Was I isekai'd…?"
"In short, yes, in long, no. You were written into the script as a memorial, but the script became reality, as well as the game, and now you are a character in Eldoria, a character in the endless journey."
It didn't make any sense to him… because it is impossible… only in mangas and animes, it is possible to get isekai'd, not in real life…
"But the game wasn't VR… and it wasn't Sword Art O—"
"Just accept it." Miu said, now her voice raised. "You are in the game as the Last Conqueror of Eldoria, you are real, you are Lucius!"
For a moment he froze… but it was now entirely different then how he was before because a faint smile appeared on his face… and for some kind of reason, for the first time… Miu felt it.
It was too sudden, it was something she didn't expect to happen… she felt pressure, that was just as faint as Lucius's smile, but she felt it and it wasn't the power of him, but something entirely different… the acceptance.
"Can you… say the last part again?" He asked as and even his eyes were filled with something that she couldn't understand.
"Last Conqueror of Eldoria… that the title of you or at least was, but—"
A historical laugh… he just laughed and with it he changed into something entirely different than how he acted just a moment ago… in his eyes there wasn't confusion anymore but more like acceptance of something greater than he ever thought about…
"So…" He stopped laughing and now with a wide smile, looked up at Miu. "I am a… god, right?"
