Chapter 1: Can I Resent this World?

There was bright pink and purple dust floating in the air. My body was falling through these yellow rings with points at the edges of them. I was barely conscious... my vision slightly blurred as I fell.

Why was I falling...

I don't remember.

||An Entity Calls Out!: Hm? A soul...||

||NOTICE: Analyzation of your soul has started...||

||NOTICE: Match Found! '01' has been located! Preparing body syncing...||

||An Entity Calls Out!: This will hurt a bit. Don't die~ well, you're already dead anyway so it doesn't really matter.||

What...?

||NOTICE: Body syncing has started! Pain rate at the maximum!||

I felt a bone in my left leg snap in half, blood started dripping from my ears as I felt more cracks.

"A-AUUGHHH—"

My bones started crushing into dust. My body parts ripping and being crunched together. My lungs were pierced by my rib cage, I coughed up blood as they shriveled up. I started suffocating, almost a drowning-like feeling in my throat.

"S-STOP–"

||An Entity Calls Out!: No~ also make sure to grow strong for me alright~?||

Blood started pooling up in my eyes as my body collapsed into this pooled red liquid. It started warping creating this body-like shape. These liquidated clothes started forming over the shape; a trench coat, jeans, shoes...

The liquid started solidifying and smoothing out, color started appearing. The coat filled in with black, a lime green color outlining its edges. The red liquid made a red streak in my hair and the rest filled my eyes into pure red. Slowly this yellow-gold number started carving itself into my left eye as I continued to fall.

||NOTICE: Body syncing complete! World transfer—||

...

Everything went black.

"..."

I can't see...

What happened?

Huh-

I- feel something weird.

Where am I?

Everything is black...

I can't move my body. Am I alone?

"Ah...- it's bright..."

"Why's... my vision blurry?"

My eyes refocused and I looked down at my hands.

They were different.

Similar in a sense, but different.

I was in a forest... but how did I get here? I was on the beach... and then the-...

"Wait a forest?"

That's not right... there should barely be any trees left on the planet. Let alone an entire forest. We had no need for them since we had oxygen ventilators cleaning everything for us. Though it hurt the wildlife a ton which is why we lost out on nature as a whole.

This is Earth right?

I looked for some nearby water to check my reflection.

I was wearing a black trench coat, with a lime green outline around my wrists and the edges of it. I also had a dark blue pair of jeans on and black gloves. A red streak of color was on the right side of my hair, and my eyes... were purely red? I didn't have pupils. My eyes as a whole were just red, and in a vibrant yellow-gold color was the number '01' engraved on my left eye.
