The room was spacious -- too spacious. It almost looked vacant as though nobody had ever slept or even stayed there.
I looked around in confusion. Was it all just a dream? Maybe? Possibly? I hope it's most definitely.
I pinched my cheeks, flinching at the sudden pain. Nope, it was not a dream sadly.
I stood up and went to find the bathroom, which wasn't that hard since it was the only door open in the wide, almost empty-looking room.
I walked over to stand in front of the mirror, only to realize that...
I couldn't see my face.
THE BATHROOM MIRROR WAS SO HIGH UP!!! No- COME TO THINK OF IT, EVERYTHING LOOKED SO HUGE ALL OF A SUDDEN!
"Am I in the world of giants or something?" I whispered to myself in confusion. Shaking my head, I walked back to the room to find a chair or a stool that I could use.
I found a stool so I went back to the bathroom to use it.
Now standing in front of the bathroom mirror, I stared silently at the little girl in front of me.
Little girl...
I TURNED INTO A LITTLE GIRL!!!
Not only that, but she looked absolutely gorgeous!!! Fuck! Why wasn't I blessed with a face like this back then?!
The little girl had beautiful golden locks that reached just above her shoulders and charming ocean blue eyes to top it all off.
"Gosh damn it! WHY DIDN'T I LOOK LIKE THIS BACK THEN???"
Then I ended up crashing out for a bit.
"Okay. I think that's enough for today," I sighed, completely ignoring the newly messed up bathroom.
With one last wink to the mirror, I jumped off the stool.
So it seems I really did die, and now I'm reincarnated into that goddess's world where I get to live a life again.
To be honest though, I would have very much agreed to just die, but that wouldn't be a very "Elisse" thing to do now, would it?
And by that I mean, I don't want to die. I'm a fucking coward.
"What am I supposed to do now?" I whispered to myself.
As though she had heard my question, a screen suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
"Yooo! Is this thing on???" Then came the sudden thumping on the screen. Ruby's sudden appearance on the other side startled me and I flinched.
What the heck? So now I have some sort of television inside my head?!
"Cut it out!" I hissed, rubbing my forehead. "Fuck, it feels like a headache..." It kind of feels like she's poking my brain and not the screen.
"Oh, so it does work!" Ruby laughed on the other side, making me narrow my eyes at her in irritation. She definitely knows what she's doing! This bitch-
"What do you want?" I groaned, still rubbing my forehead.
Ruby grinned. "To see my most beloved wife~!"
"Fuck off," I deadpanned.
She laughed. "Just kidding~! I'm here to help you, duh! I see you have taken the body of the nation's princess, Felicity Amythist. Good for you!"
I blinked. "Princess? HUH???"
She nodded her head, taking out a bag of chips from behind her. "I'm sending you the details right now. Just think of the screen when you want to summon it, alright? This is kind of like a skill of some sort. It can help you in battle and research," - she stopped to eat a chip - "I won't be able to appear much since I have my own responsibilities, so this system will be your help in my stead. Don't worry, nobody else can see it apart from you. Probably dark magic users too, but yeah. Just you."
... Is this woman really an all-powerful goddess?
Then out of nowhere, a screen appeared in front of my face.

"Level? What's a level?"
"'Levels' signify your strength and abilities. The higher the level, the stronger you are. The hidden villain of destruction is level ten thousand as of now," Ruby explained as she took a sip of her tea.
I blinked. "Ten thousand? TEN THOUSAND?! AH HELL NAH! I WANT TO RESTART! RESTART!!!"
"Sorry, Eli darling, you have no choice," Ruby flashed me one last cunning smirk, showing off her sharp fangs before disappearing.
"FUCK YOU, BITCH!"
...
I clicked my tongue in irritation. Great. Leave it to my wonderful mind to fuck up more of my situations. Why did I even agree to this? I should have known that this was just a trap, tch.
"Humph! Whatever. Guess I'll just have to work hard and level up. I'm not courageous enough to choose death, so I might as well just live," I whispered to myself while enthusiastically pumping my fists.
... Huh?
"What the? A mission?"

At least there's something that could help motivate me. Level one, here I come!
