As I woke up, I remembered the crab, the feeling of cold helplessness and the feeling of dying.
Dying.
Didn’t I die?
As I thought about it, I noticed something. I wasn’t at the beach anymore, but in a forest.
It looked a bit like the one near my home, but there were no buildings or roads nearby, only trees and a fresh breeze. And my head didn't hurt.
Is this my afterlife?
What?
I recalled the screen I saw right before my death, this one looking much like it.
Again, what?
What is happening?
New name?! But my name already is-
My name…
How did I forget my name?
“No it's not!” I finally spoke up, the stress getting to me.
The screen didn’t show up again, I sighed as I calmed down a little.
I didn’t feel like myself anymore, having forgotten my name.
“Screen?”
“What are you?"
“What am I?”
Are these my stats? Am I in a game or what?
And what are available classes? Can I use them?
What are they for?
“Classes?”
“Available Classes.”
Oh.
Can I pick all of them? Geomancer sounds cool, but I wonder how basic the control over minerals is.
“[Geologist], [Mason], [Geomancer]!”
Cool, but how do I do that? Scrap that, I have bigger problems. Where the hell am I?
“That doesn’t tell me anything, you know?”
“Fine, but at least answer my most important question”
“Why am I naked?”
“I guess that makes sense, but couldn’t you at least give me something to put on?”
The breeze is pretty chilly in my defense.
…
“I’ll take that as a no. What should I do now? How do I get back?”
I kind of expected that.
Danger?! What danger? And why is it close?
As I pondered on it, I heard some rustling behind some fallen leaves.
A reptilian head the size of my fist came out of the leaves, the rustling turned into hissing.
It's a snake! Hate those guys!
And so, I ran as fast as I could.
I looked back only to see the snake catching up to me.
And it wasn’t just any snake, it was a big one.
