Dead-Men Chat Group: Winning the Resurrection Bracket

Lin Yuan died. After his death, he joined a group chat. Only, something about it felt very wrong. What did they mean, this was a chat group that only dead people could join? Looking at the member list—every last one of them already deceased—Lin Yuan voiced his confusion: “So our top priority right now… is winning our way back through the resurrection bracket?” “Wait, hold on—what the hell? Nobody told me you could actually win this thing and come back to life!” … Many years later, after everyone had finally returned from the dead— [Jonathan Joestar:] Dio, don’t think running off to Egypt means it’s over. I’ve come back to life, and I’m coming for you. [David Martinez:] V’s already tearing up Night City—so when the hell is it my turn to come back? [Jie:] I’ve been gone for so many years… I wonder how everyone back in Great Yan is doing… Hm? What do you mean I can be revived? [Himmel:] The era of “Himmel the Hero” is already over! [Kiritsugu Emiya:] What do you mean it’s already the Fifth Holy Grail War? Time for me to enter the resurrection bracket. [Carmen:] Top priority: personally stepping in to make sure the Seed of Light launches successfully. Watching one after another of his groupmates successfully return to life, Lin Yuan fiddled with his own increasingly inhuman body. “Another year, and another, and another… At this rate I’m going to become a full-blown necromancer before I get revived. So when exactly is it my turn?”
