I was on my way to get potatos for curry for my mom's birthday when I got hit by a truck and now I'm no longer in my world where I'm lonely and hated instead I'm now powerful and famous in this dimension

Chapter 1: Prologue

Chapter Text

it was on a cold winter's day. and our soon-to-be protagonist was celebrating his mom's birthday. sure- he gave her a harsh time about her outfits and choices of fashion but he loved her nonetheless. as he was grabbing the ingredients and chopping them up into the pot. but something is missing... you can't have curry without- potatoes! It's missing potatoes!

In a rush, the boy scurries through the icy streets to the grocery store- proud of himself of getting the potatoes he tries to rush back home before the curry overcooks. As he runs in the cold, across the streets his breath vaporizes, his throat is dry, his legs burn. and he sees a light from the corner of his eye, he turns to see a truck approaching in the distance as he looks in horror a horn blares and-

 

everything went black.

 

....

 

"THATS IT?! THATS MY STORY?!"

 

it's not entirely-

 

"YOu gave me 2 PARAGRAPHS WORTH A STORY."

did you want more to it?

 

"YEAH! A BIT MORE DETAIL WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE AT LEAST!"

 

Ok well... what else is there to say?

"I don't know- MAYBE SOMETHING MORE THAN A COUPLE OF SENTENCES?!"

ok fine.

the truck comes to a halt but it was too late- the bag of potatoes rolled onto road, and tuffs of pink and a scarf could be barely made out in the red-

"NO NO NO! ITS TOO GRAPHIC!"

well- you wanted more detail.

"NOT LIKE THAT YOU WEIRDO"

well what else is there to say, you did not survive that.

"I COULD OF! IT WOULD MAKE A GOOD PLOT THAT IT WAS A MIRACLE!"

that's not-

"A miracle where someone as cute as me would survive and be famous! I could write a book, they would make a movie about me- of course they couldn't replicate my cuteness though"

Its not happening.

"BUT WHY?!"

it was a canon event. it had to happen.

"THIS IS BULL $#@%, YOU CANT DO THIS TO ME! IM TOO YOUNG AND CUTE TO DIE!"

well its too late to change it now.

 

"YOU ARE SICK!"

excuse me?

"YOUR PROBABLY JUST SOME WEIRDO FREAK HE WANTS TO MAKE AN INNOCENT PERSON DIE!"

what? no I-

"you're like those freaks who take pleasure in seeing others suffer! YOU LIKE TO SEE ME SUFFER LIKE IN THOSE-

 

DON'T. FINISH. THAT. SENTENCE.

"BUT YOU-"

 

What if I were to tell you I could send you away?

"AWAY?! Away to where?"

somewhere better then here- somewhere your dreams would be reality.

 

"My dreams?..."

fame fortune -even a bit of magic...

"..."

"Pass."

what?! but you're the main character! you can do anything you want!

 

"main character? like in a video game?"

YES!

"eh... but that would mean I would have to defeat some stupid final boss,"

you don't...want to do that?

"well- would you?!"

...yeah actually I kinda would like to do that.

"Well I DONT. its so much worse plus I could get injured and get a scar on my face- I could no longer be cute!"

so that's what your worried about?

"well unlike you Im not some daydreaming loser!"

...ouch that wasn't necessary. well then... what do you want?

"me? well I wouldn't mind being famous"

that's it?

"look- most kids at my school just were mean and then I tried to be nice- NOW LOOK WHERE THAT GOT ME!"

nice?... hmm no wonder you didn't have friends...

"What was that?"

Nothing.

hmm...I can give you want you want, I can make you famous and make you known but...there will be a price. you cant be famous right off the bat you know-

 

"yeah yeah fine I don't wanna be in this dark place any longer. your boring and this supposed story so far really sucks"

 

I'll ignore that, besides I know there's more to you than you think I do. so are you ready to start?

"yeah sure lets get this over with Im bored."

alright then- here we go good luck~
