That Time When I Got Reincarnated as a Survivor

The battle royal game part 1

‘’Haha! I guess this it, the end, my end, I never thought that it would be horrible like this…’’

Many creatures with swords and arrows are surrounding the guy in the middle.

‘’Heh! Damn! I am sorry… Mom… Dad… I promised you… Damn! At this rate, my promise will fade…’’

…

‘’My name is Ash and this is my story.’’

A day ago…

Inside the faculty of science…

‘’Hah! I watched that movie! It was amazing!’’

‘’Oh really!? I can’t wait to watch it as well.’’

‘’Hehe! Do you want some spoilers!?’’

‘’Shut up man!!’’

‘’Hehe! Come on! Just one!’’

‘’I said…’’

Ash is coming with a girl…

‘’Well! Well! Well! Look what we have here!’’

‘’The little pig finally got himself a girlfriend.’’

Ash looks worried.

‘’No! Haha! Miles, she is my sister, she got transferred to this faculty recently.’’

‘’H-Hey!’’

‘’Oh! Your sister then… Hmmm… I see… But how can a loser like you have this kind of hot stuff! Damn!’’

The air around Ash and his sister became dangerous while no one does anything to stop those boys who always Harass Ash, every day they do the same thing but who can stand against them, they are the most powerful guys in this faculty, their muscles demonstrate that.

‘’Well, what should we do now?’’

Seconds after that, the bell of going to the classrooms rang, at that moment, quickly, Ash held his sister’s hand then they ran…

‘’Ah, I know what you think, but before you say anything, let me tell you what happened to our family a week ago, my mom had a car accident, her situation was beyond healing but my father didn’t give up, he sold everything, he even got her own daughter from the private school where she was studying her favorite subject art because he couldn’t afford the fees after what happened to mom, our family collapsed after that, day after day, the doctors after many surgeries said that her health condition is stable for now but she will need a new heart since hers was damaged after the accident, at that moment, dad lost hope, a new heart, even if we sold the house that won’t be enough because after all, it is… 5 million dollars! An impossible amount of money to gather, dad didn’t speak after that day, I and my sister tried to push ourselves to go to the faculty even if our minds are dead because of what happened to us and because we were at the end of the year of study, my sister will have some extra lessons and exams but for me, it’s ending. I thought about killing myself but I didn’t have the courage to leave my family like this…’’

Ash is walking somewhere in the city, he looked to his right then he saw a happy family that has just entered the shop, the kids are laughing, the dad is making some funny facial expressions to make them laugh, the mom is trying to stop them because they are about to enter the shop.

Ash felt so sad at that moment for his family, then he looked to the sky…

‘’My God, where can I get that money? where? I will do anything to make my family laugh again… Anything!’’

The rain started to fall hiding Ash’s tears…

Ash continued walking in the rain without an umbrella, with his hands in his pockets and his head looking down, he continued walking till arrived next to a forest, he passed it until he arrived in an edge…

‘’I heard many people die here, I guess I am the next one, I am… Sorry… I can’t do this anymore…’’

At that moment, life ended in Ash’s eyes until he heard a voice, it was at first weird, the words are unclear…

‘’WEL… WELC… CEL… WELC… WELCOME INSIDE CURIOSITY!’’

‘’WE ARE WIC, THE COMPANY THAT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!’’

Ash stopped falling and he started to float.

‘’How!? How?!!’’

‘’OUR COMPANY WIC WANTS YOU TO JOIN ITS GAME.’’

Ash is confused!

‘’What game? And who is talking to me and how am I floating in the air? Am I dead?’’

‘’PLA… PLAY… PLAYER… YOUR WORLD IS AFFECTING THIS CONNEXION, YOU HAVE 10 SECONDS TO DECIDE IF YOU WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN OUR GAME… THE PRIZE IS… WHAT YOU CALL IN YOUR WORLD… GO… GO… GOLD!’’

‘’10’’

‘’9’’

‘’8’’

‘’What!? Gold? Am I dreaming!? And what kind of game is it? Haha, after all the aliens are real or maybe I am dead and this some afterlife bullsh*t…’’

‘’4’’

‘’3’’

‘’2’’

‘’1’’

‘’All right! Damn! I am going to participate in your game!’’

‘’THE… THE… THE PLAYER HAS AGREED TO JOIN THE GAME… THE… THE PLAYER WILL BE TRANSFERRED RIGHT NOW.’’

In one second, Ash vanished!

In a big room, different creatures are going here and there while a giant screen is showing some lagging…

Ash is standing in the middle of all those creatures while he has no idea about what’s going!?

‘’Wha-! Is this real? Wait! Am I dreaming? Oh! I’ll do what they do in movies.’’

Ash raises his fist hand in the air then he slapped himself so hard till the sound was heard in the whole room.

Ash closed his eyes then he opened them slowly…

Nothing has changed, everything is still the same as before while all the creatures are starring at Ash.

‘’Oh my god! So all this is real! Dinosaurs! Serpents with many heads! Lizards! Lions! And all the other ones! I can’t believe this!’’

A lizard with a human form came to Ash.

‘’Hey! You! What the hell is wrong with you!?’’

Ash can’t move from his place because the lizard put its blade next to Ash’s throat.

‘’A-a!? I-I am sorry… I didn’t mean to insult you or something like that by anyhow…’’

Suddenly! Many floating robots started to enter the room by some small windows in the walls.

‘’URGENT! URGENT! URGENT!’’

‘’URGENT! URGENT! URGENT!’’

‘’PLAYERS ARE TRYING TO KILL EACH OTHER!’’

‘’PLAYERS ARE TRYING TO KILL EACH OTHER!’’

Everyone got away till only Ash and that lizard stayed in the middle of the room, at that moment, the robots started to shock both the lizard and Ash using some electricity sticks.

‘’HAAARGH!!’’

‘’AAARGH!!’’

‘’Players should not fight each other before the game!’’

‘’Players should not fight each other before the game!’’

‘’That’s the boss’ orders!’’

‘’HAAARGH!!’’

‘’AAARGH!!’’

Ash feels dizzy and weak after those shocks while the lizard is getting up hardly using his blade.

‘’What the hell-Hah-Hah-was that!?’’

Ash asked himself while he breathes hardly…

At that moment, the giant screen worked and a guy with a mask written on it 'WIC' showed himself.

Ash is looking with one eye.

‘’Welcome everyone! I am the president of WIC, our multiverses company that travels all the dimensions of all the cosmos in order to find desperate people like you, people who want to end their lives with their hands, people who lost hope, people who were overwhelmed by life! And all that because of one factor! It’s money!! Or as some worlds call it, gold, halcyon, auriferous, gilt, and all the other names that you know, that one thing is what made your lives seem that way, you feel useless, disappointed in yourselves, even some of you had to leave their own house because your families didn’t want you there anymore! So, I am here to give you a second chance to make that money! A damn huge amount of it that will let you live happily in your cursed life because… Heh, after all, money is deliverance, money is life, money is family, money is everything!!!’’

Ash opened both his eyes with excitement!

‘’A second… Chance! By that… I can help my family!!’’

‘’President! What we have to do to get that amount of money!’’

The lizard spoke.

‘’Oh! Good question, in that case, I will explain, we are on a floating island in the sky of the planet xy908m of the universe number 0, well this universe is dead anyway, so this planet is dead because its life was ended by meteorites, so down there, there is only death with angry volcanoes and poisoned air but don’t worry this island is covered by a cloak that will filter any venomous stuff which will lead me to the main point, you the 500 of you will play a battle royal, a survival game and the final player who lasts on the island will win, that means…’’

‘’All other players will die?’’

A random creature spoke.

‘’That’s right! And in order to do that! You have to throw everyone you see out of this island or just kill him, this is the rules of the game! And now! Show me the ones who are willing to put their lives on the line and coward ones who want to go back their life of hell.’’

The silence dominated the room.

Ash thinks about his family and at the same time he thinks about changing his and their life.

‘’What must I do? Go back!? No! But… This is a deadly game, I can’t win, I really can’t! Look at the other non-human beings, they’re strong and their weapons, oh damn, I forgot everything about their weapons, damn, damn, this game isn’t fair! What should I do!? What!?’’

- DFF -

- DFF -

A huge guy that looks like a human got up and started walking towards the screen where the president is waiting.

Everyone is scared of that titan!

The titan started to drink something.

‘’UGH-UGH-UGH! I AM IN! I AM OUT OF GAMBLING MONEY, I CAN’T GO BACK TO SEE MY SIBLINGS WITHOUT ANY MONEY! UGH-UGH-UGH!’’

‘’Me too! My wife is waiting for me!’’

‘’My kids are waiting for me as well!’’

‘’My parents!! I can’t go back without anything! I promised that I would find a job! But this is better than an average salary job!’’

‘’I have to pay the ones who owe me money otherwise they will kill my family!’’

The president on the screen started to smile and then started to laugh!

‘’Hahahaha! That’s right! That’s the spirit! Very well then! Don’t worry! I gave this second chance as well to die as warriors, not as cowards!’’

The robots who are in charge there started to speak to the players.

‘’For the ones who want to join the battle royal game, say ‘Yes’’’

‘’For the ones who don’t want to join the battle royal game, say ‘No’’’

‘’Yes!’’

‘’Yes!’’

‘’Yes!’’

‘’Yes!’’

Ash is still thinking if he can join the game or not…

‘’Damn! What should I do?!! Wait! What if this is just a lie!? Hey! You! The president! How much gold will the winner get!?’’
