(Ghost)
Sipping coffee while watching my favorite anime series again and again, yes, that's me. If you are wondering who am I, then let me introduce myself,
I'm Tamago Ringo,
Yes, you heard it right. My name is Ringo, which simply means Apple in Japanese.
And yes, my last name is Tamago, which means egg in Japanese.
You might be thinking why I got named like this.
Well, you may want to ask my parents about that. Nonetheless, you can just call me Rin.
I'm currently watching a certain anime with the slime protagonist.
To be honest, I really like the Isekai anime genre. Especially those with powerful beings who got reincarnated in another world.
I often read mangas and light novels, and guess what? I spent my whole high school life watching those. From a skeleton guy who got stuck in a game to the cute spider with cheat-level abilities.
I wish life can be as easy as that.
For the time being, I'm still studying to achieve my dream of becoming a Manga Artist.
Soon..., Yes soon, I’ll reach that dream of mine. In the meantime let's just let me finish this episode.
Ahhh...! I really hate it when they cut the episode the time it's getting to the climax!
And another one week of waiting for the next episode.
Damn... Uhhh..!
I really want to know what happened next!
I know, I know, I'm pretty absurd inside.
I guess no one would expect a high school girl like me to be so addicted to this stuff.
I mean, it's not about the gender,
I'm a girl outside and a pure otaku inside.
What did you say? Girls should act more decent you say?
Boooo!!! Are you being sexist or what?
I just said it's not about gender! It's in my heart, my heart!
As time pass by, it's getting dark. I checked the time and it's already 5 pm.
Oof, I need to prepare lunch for my parents.
They'll be having their dinner tonight here at our house.
Usually, they just eat outside thinking it will be more time-efficient since they work from noon until midnight.
But tonight's different, I don't know what are they thinking but I think they want to make up for the times we weren't able to have dinner together.
I think that would be it.
Finished preparing dinner.
Just in time, I think they will be home sooner or later.
Few more hours have passed but still, they aren't home.
Maybe overtime? I guess?
Nah, they wouldn't make me wait long when they already promised me something.
Something just happened.
I don't know what but there must be something that happened.
It's been 3 hours since I finished preparing dinner.
Something's off.
I checked the time on my phone once again when I saw a message.
It didn't ring since I mute it.
It's from an unknown number.
Weird, I don't remember giving my number to anyone. Usually, I'm the one who takes their number if I have to.
I opened the message and totally got surprised.
"Your parents got involved in a car accident, please come immediately to ****** Hospital. I found your number on your father's phone please come immediately"
I was panicking and I'm confused about what to do, I grabbed my wallet on the top of the aisle in the kitchen.
I quickly seek money.
But I barely got any except for some coins.
That hospital is like 3 kilometers away from here.
I wanted to use a taxi but I don't have any spare money.
As I exit the door, I shut the door quite hard.
My hands are trembling.
My mind is not clear at the moment, I'm having different thoughts, good and bad
They are all mixed-up in my mind.
I'm running with all my might,
I'm heading towards the hospital said.
Yes, it's late at night, I'm trying to avoid places where there might be police.
I know, I'm just bewildered with bad thoughts.
Maybe the person who messaged me was in kind of shock at what happened.
That would explain why he/she didn't think about my age if I would be a minor or no.
I'm over halfway to the hospital, but running at this speed is not my specialty.
My legs are trembling, I can barely walk so I stopped at the nearest shed.
I'm breathing at a high speed, I'm doing my best to catch my breath and continue walking.
*beep! beep!*
My phone rings, I unmute it right after I received the horrible message earlier so it rang this time.
I'm quite anxious, I saw a different unknown number I can tell.
I hesitate to open it for a few seconds but I made up my mind on opening it.
"Mr. and Mrs. Tamago is in ****** Hospital and a critical condition, If you are a relative, please come immediately."
As it says, my parents are on the verge of death.
I'm the only relative my parents have.
So I'm the only one in their contacts labeled as 'Daughter'.
They don't usually have airtime balance unless they are needed in their work.
They work in the same company, but in different buildings, however, they don't separate from each other after work.
As I read the message, I made a deep breath and look up into the sky.
I stand and chase the way to the hospital.
I saw a nearby police officer roaming for his night duty.
I'm quite tall and I'm wearing a jacket.
I quickly pulled my hood upright.
Luckily I'm walking on a dark side of the pavement.
As soon as the officer was out of my sight, I ran again.
I reached the hospital, I hurried to the reception desk and
"Tamago..."
I'm still catching my breath and breathing heavily as I say my last name.
"Come again? Egg?"
The receptionist is confused as I say my parents' last name.
"No... N-no no!.. My last name is Tamago... I-I'm looking for my parents"
"Oh okay"
The receptionist's confused face disappeared as she looks for the names in their log.
"2nd floor, room 23."
Right after she finished giving me the room number, I hurried and went to the 2nd floor.
I reached room 23, I saw my parents lying in the hospital bed covered in bloodstains.
I saw the doctor using an apparatus that is made for reviving a patient.
As soon as the nurse saw me, he covered the area with a green curtain forbidding me from seeing my parents.
I'm pretty certain the doctor is reviving my mother.
I'm still eavesdropping on the information inside.
I hear the doctor said a certain number.
I heard him repeat saying numbers but in an increasing value.
I went blank after I heard a straight ear-wrecking sound.
"Time of death, 11:15"
Tears suddenly fall from my eyes without me knowing.
Yes, she died.
Right after that, I heard another ear-wrecking sound. I heard the doctor say a certain number again.
After a repeated attempt, the sound isn't going away.
"Time of death, 11:45"
I heard the doctor reveal another awful truth.
Yes, I'm now officially an orphan.
Crying? No, I just got something in my eyes.
The doctor went out and nod at me. That isn't needed though, I heard all of it.
I'm done, I have no choice but to give up this life.
As I walk down the stairs of the hospital, my brain is floating around.
As I become so hopeless, various thoughts are playing inside me.
One of them is wanting to suicide.
I'm an otaku, an anime and manga fanatic.
I'm wondering the impossible right now.
Is reincarnation true?
I wanna redo my life.
I wanna have fun, I don't want to feel pain, agony, misery anymore.
One thing hit my head.
I made up my mind, tonight I'm gonna get hit by a truck.
Yes, I wanna be Isekai'd.
The popular term in the anime world.
I wanna go to a new world.
Still, I knew it's impossible but, nothing's left here for me to stay.
I guess it's worth a try.
I left the hospital, the road is pretty empty since it's midnight.
I wonder if there might be a truck that will pass by.
I climbed the fence, yes I call it a fence. The roadblock maybe, I don't really know what it is but let's settle that for now.
As I wait for a truck to pass by, a police officer patrolling saw me.
He immediately blow his whistle.
Paying him no mind, I look forward and see a truck heading towards me.
Ahhh finally...
Goodbye world.
Beep!
After that sound, woah I'm still alive?
I guess the truck manage to dodge me but well, the truck hit a nearby fence.
I don't know if the driver's still alive.
But I'm disappointed to not die.
I think I'm gonna be forceful this time.
The police officer seems like he's talking to someone over the phone.
Um, maybe he's calling for help.
As I said, I'm gonna force this truck to kill me no matter what.
My life is ruined, no turning back.
I smashed my head repeatedly in the truck's front.
I did it again and again until I lost my consciousness.
I wake up in a void.
Yes, a void.
I'm currently lying on nothing.
All I can see is darkness around me.
But something that's glowing in white came.
Oh, it's a baby!
A cute baby!
"Uhh, we're already at our max capacity, why did you kill yourself?"
The baby spoke with a manly voice.
Uh, for some reason, I can't talk.
No sound is coming out from my mouth.
As I notice this strange phenomenon, I'm not even breathing.
Oh, I got vague memories from what happened to me.
After a few seconds, it all came back to me.
I killed myself by smashing my head with the truck.
"Well, your choice to die. It's not our fault if your gonna be living your next life as a ghost."
The baby spoke again. I got shocked by what I heard.
"G-Ghost?"
I replied I'm surprised that I can talk now.
Maybe the baby did something for me to speak.
"Yes, I heard your wishes. As I am the God of Dimensions, I listen to every last wish of a person dying."
He speaks in a very professional tone.
"God?"
I repeated something funny. I'm familiar with things like this, this is kind of...
Wait...
Wait wait wait wait Waaaaiiitt...!!!
Is it true? Oh hell yeah! My conclusions were true!
If I die in a truck accident, I’ll probably be reincarnated in an Isekai!
"Yesss!!!"
I'm so happy that I couldn't stop myself from shouting.
"Pardon? Have you been listening?"
He sounds confused but I immediately stand and;
"You are a god, right? Oh, I never think you were true!"
I casually spoke with a glad tone.
"You're supposed to reincarnate me right? right??"
I continued.
"As I was saying, we're on our max capacity, we couldn't handle any more reincarnations"
My happy face suddenly frowns little by little.
"What do you mean?"
"We are on our maximum capacities, we've reincarnated quite a lot of people in different dimensions, moreover, we do not expect someone to be sacrificing herself just to be reincarnated"
I'm a little confused by what he just said.
"Full? So I'm not gonna get reincarnated is that what you mean?"
I quickly handed the straight question.
"Yes, so we can't do anything for you."
Those words strike my heart in a critical hit.
Unreal, how could this happen?
"Is there anything you can do?!"
As I panic, I let out a panicking tone.
"Nothing, sorry. It's your own fault to die anyway."
What a cruel god! This baby got some nerves in it!
So I wasted my life just to die.
Well, we all know that, since this is a gamble, I think I should blame myself.
But, he just said 'they' reincarnate people!
How unfair can they be???!!
"Whaaaaattt?! Please do something! I don't wanna live as a ghost! I sacrificed myself in the hope that I will get reincarnated, so please if you can do something I really beg of you!"
I kneel as I speak,
"Very well, since you're trouble. I don't like to be in further business with you so I'm gonna be reincarnating you to the world Yarth."
Something good-for-ears word came out from this baby.
"Thank you very much!"
"But as a ghost, you can only do limited things. Please have fun in the 25th dimension."
After hearing those words, my consciousness dropped again.
I woke up in a forest.
I can hear birds chirping, the winds breezing.
I can say it's noontime since the sun is straight upward.
I remembered the words I heard from that god.
He reincarnated me like a ghost, yes, a ghost.
I thought he changed his mind.
He just made me thank him for nothing.
He plays dirty and I really hate it.
I raised my hand but it looks pale, and it's translucent, I can see the things behind it.
I look down and try to find my legs.
Well, I'm legless.
What to expect from a poltergeist.
I'm certain he said he reincarnated me in the 25th dimension I think?
This doesn't seem far compared to Earth.
There are birds, deers, rabbits around.
Um, what to do now?
I walked straight ahead trying to find my way out of the forest.
But this forest is too large!
I've been wandering around for hours!
Uh, my legs are tired.
Not that I really have legs.
Since I'm a ghost, I must possess something out-of-the-ordinary.
I focused and try to aim at a tree.
What am I doing you say?
Isn't it obvious? I'm trying to cast magic.
This is an Isekai so there must be something magic-like.
No matter what pose I do, how many times I try, nothing came out from my translucent hands.
I'm helpless.
What will he do if the slime guy who got reincarnated in an Isekai is in my condition?
Ding ding ding!
Simple, find a nearby village.
I need to get quests from villages so I can level up and acquire magic!
Mhmm, mhmm!
I'm still stuck in this forest...
Uhhhh... I'm tired of this.
Maybe it's really wrong to get reincarnated.
Not fun!
I'm supposed to be mourning about my parents instead of having fun you say?
Boo! I'm a ghost and I don't feel emotions!
Walking down a tiny cliff-like ramp,
I saw a beast walking towards me.
Crap! This is bad! I'm still level 0 and a huge tank-looking monster is approaching me.
What I'm gonna do?
I can't think of a way to escape 'cause duh, I passed over a cliff, I can't seem to climb it back with my hollow body.
It's still coming at me.
I closed my eyes and pray.
A few more seconds later while I'm closing my eyes.
Nothing is happening!
I saw the beast with sabertooth tiger-like teeth sitting beside me.
Oh, it wants to befriend me right?
Ahh, I see.
I'm a little worried but I step towards it but it doesn't react at all.
I'm in front of the bear but it won't just look at me.
Are you ignoring me Tanky Tiger?
I don't know if I'm going to be happy that it doesn't hurt me or be mad because it's paying me no attention.
This is rigged.
Ouch! A light bulb hit my head!
(Metaphorically of course)
I know why it just won't notice me!
I'm a ghost LMAO.
I'm so dumb, I must've known that it wouldn't see me since I'm a ghost!
Oof, I got scared out of nothing.
Well, you can't blame me, what will be your reaction if you just saw a beast approaching you?
It's getting dark, I don't feel hungry or thirsty.
Maybe that's just the nature of a ghost.
I saw three moons in the dark sky.
Mr tanky-tiger is still by my side sleeping with a loud snore.
I can't sleep! I tried to count the stars and I fell asleep.
Let's call this a day.

(Meeting with a guide)Good morning!I woke up earlier than my usual in my old life.This is my second day in this Not-Too-Far-From-The-Ordinary Isekai.And yes you're right, I'm sleeping right next to this snore-lord.Good thing I can't be seen, if that isn't the case, I'm sure I died right after I spawned.Pretty cliched for a newbie you can say.I'm not commending the baby for making me into a ghost.Thus, I'm still mad at him.Why? You ask?Of course I will be mad at someone throwing me in an Isekai without any power-up start like in those Anime series.Or maybe I'm just naïve for thinking reincarnating is the best idea.I'm not surprised that I'm not getting hungry, I'm a ghost remember?Basically, I'm just a ghost from the other world warped to the 25th dimension.I'm not reincarnated in other words.But let's be optimistic,
(Possession)I don't really know if I'm making progress here.I don't feel like I'm getting farther from where I spawned.Seriously? How huge is this forest that I've been venturing it for two days now.Yes, two days has passed after I met that Goddess Baby.I think I supposedly be fighting some low rank monsters like slimes or goblins now.But I don't seem to find any hint that there were creatures like that.Sure, I met more tanky-tigers on my way.But, they're the only race I can find in this forest.I tried using the Lust skill to charm them or something but it just won't work.Maybe it won't work since they can't see me in the first place.But why did those fish got affected?The baby said that I must got the Ruler thingy before I can completely make use of this skill.For now, it's totally useless.The brightness of the surroundings sta
(The challenge in the Village)Eek, I got seen by the young villagers, 3 boys and a girl.They don't seem to be surprised that a frog came nearby.I saw the boy with blonde hair grinning with something on his mind.He picked up a stone from the ground.Without further ado, he j
(Goblins in Advance)I can't believe my eyes.This is so unbelievable.An army of goblins are marching their way to the village.And they don't look like
(Dragon)
(Prince)Zzzz... zzzz...Good morning!Ah I mean, Good evening!So this is how a dark dragon live.If my stamina weren't infinite, I surely need to eat light.I can feel my instincts telling me to hunt light.Yes I know, it does sounds weird.But thankfully, hunger doesn't apply to me.But even if that's the case, I still need to hunt so I can level up and evolve.What do I get from evolving you ask?Well I do get a lot from evolving.Starting with stat increase, although it only increase my MP.And then, I get more skills.Somehow, I get many cheat abilities.It's not that I’m complaining,I’m j
(The Demon Realm)While the prince is riding me.Hey hey hey! Don't get the wrong idea!I’m a dragon you know.He's currently at my back.That isn't something s*xual you pervert.Anyways, to be honest, we are really clueless where to go.I thought that if we had a map things will be easier.But it can't be helped,The prince here has only himself and his tent.We've been roaming for almost five hours.The sun is about to rise and I’m getting sleepy.While we're venturing, you can't even hear any noise except for my wings flapping.I couldn't look at the prince on what he is currently doing.It's almost daybreak.I don't get tired because of my infinite stamina but thanks to this dragon's instinct, it's telling me to go to sleep.Speaking of sleep
