With a strong force the water choked him and enters his lungs for a moment that is not longer than ten second but in that moments thane already forget his surrounding to grasp a single air that doesnt exist for creature outside of the waters.
20 seconds past, 30 second past, the water started to stab and stab him from inside out. his lungs now is heavy and his olfactory system tickled with sharp cold pain, if it not for the water he would be screaming like a failling man.
and with time he continue to sink deeper into the bottom of the ocean, his mind scrambling for seemingly the last time to find a way out, but its all futile.
Hoping to survive situation like this is like hoping there is light from the bottom of the sea,. Luckyly for Oswald yorrick a light does shining from the depts of the unforgiving ocean.
Oswald can see a sunlight from the deepest depths of the sea, and strangely as it may sounds, it kept getting brighter and brighter.
For all he can think it might finnaly reach the deaths door and start seeing heaven. then a strange message appears on his view, ringing from inside his head.

" you absolute fool, what did you do?!. " a voice of woman is heard yelling.
" i dont know, we-we followed the rituals correctly. " said a man with panicked voice.
"what kind of spirit wariors are you?!, useless!!. " the two adults in the rooms continue to argue like a soon would be divorced parents.
Oswald started to get a sense of his surounding and he saw a room decorated with strange symbols and ritualistic smoke. its looks like someone masacred a candlelit massage room.
In the center of the room there two children are laying on a bed. two girls laying there, one in an age of a late elementary schoolers, and the others is probably a middle schoolers. One of the girls have brown hair with a classic long twintails and the others have a braided long black hairs.
" Enough, just clean this mess already!, we try this again next time. " said the woman while pointing to the whole room
" yes, yes my love. " the man lowers his head and immedietly crawling to erase the strange shaped lines around the floors.
after they done cleaning up the room the two unconcious girl is carried back into their rooms. strangely my body seems to be bound and follows wherever the brown haired girl is escorted.
I take a glance at the place Im at, this seems to a sizeable manor. A typical mansion you will see on the countryside of a british lands.
And then the movement sudenly stoped and they drop the girl into what seems to be a storage room in the corner of the mansion. she stays in place like this?, is she a bastard child or something ?.
Along with the girl they also place a book on a drawer next to her bed. i haven't really thought about it but that book have such a cool cover. It looks like a cult forbidden book and a courtroom record book at the same time because of its delicate covers.
After taking a glance at the boook then the room, I start tip toeing around the room before realizing that i can float and even move around without a sound, not to mention im able to pass throught wall.
" I really am already dead. " such conclusion is only natural after experiencing this
" But where am i, is this actually the afterlife?. " putting my hands on my chin that i somehow able to physically touch.
after done collecting myself i start to look around and touch the many belongings.
" I can touch stuff, huh?. " i thought i am a ghost limited to spirit matter only…. And that books
" I guess a bit reading won't hurt. " I try to open the book on the drawer beside the brown haired girl.
And then when I realize I cant open it, I just spent the entire night gazing outside of the windows.
Scene 2.
As the morning sun coming it I peek outside the windows again and the rooms back and forth. With the light I just realize that This is a single bed room for what it seems like a makeshift emergency storage for forgotten things with the many toys and stuff kept around.
And with the morning comes the brown girl finally wakes up and for my own safety i decided to hide myself under her bed, you can never be too careful in this situation. i hide like a monster that scared of human around them.
To my surprise when the girls is stepping outside of the room, i magically also get pulled to be near her vicinity. I can stays quite a distance from her like a meters away but I cant get away more than that before being dragged to her vicinity.
The elder maids that approach the brown haired girl seems to shake her heads and grab her arms to what its seems a tending to her appearance. I try to hide from people as much as I can but nobody seems to see me.
" Does nobody notice my presence, am i invincible? " as i stop hugging the wall and the ceiling so much.
A sophisticated and strict looking man seems to be waitingIt seems this was a time for her education
The teacher seems to ask a lot of basic question
"Good both of you remember, seems like there nothing wrong with your memory" the teacher makes quite an off comments but the two girls seems to not notice at all.
And one other thing, I seen the notebook on the tabble where each girls are seated, the brown haired girl is named Dorothy, and the black haired girl is Alice.
I think Im looking to carelessly and closely around them because I completely forget about the posibility for anybody to be able to see me by now. That is the moment the brown haired girl and me cross eyes and she locked her gaze into me with widened eyes.
"Waaah, a spirit invade the manor!!. " She jump off her seat and screams loud enough to alarm everybody inside the manor and the neighbors.
"Dorothy what are you screaming about. " Alice, The black haired braided girl after jumped in surprise too start to hold the panicked Dorothy and shaking her up. They both then take a step back. As the teacher pulled something out of his pocket
The teacher pulled something that looks like a wand and a gloves. He started to point it everywhere making weird swing with his hands holding it and then a barier is formed.
" What the-. " what Is this? Magic really? An actual formed bariers froms something that small is unheard of in our world, but before I get a chance to admire it some heavy footstep start to get closer, very close.
" EVERYONE INSIDE GET OUT!. " Somebody then whip out a dust like substance and summon something, the man doing it looks like a cheff with an apron and a tall hat.
At that momment the book in dorothy back started to faintly glow, and then I heard something.
[# MAGICK DETECTED # ]
[# SUMMON DETECTED #]
What manifested seems like a fairy, a whole bunch of them. Enough to man every task in a kitchen.
"!!. " what is that creature, this is dangerous, am I gonna died a second time now?
In a panic somehow I seen my life flash before me, it's a second countdown but time feels more slower.
Before I got transported into this world, I remember I was on a ship celebrating the success of our 4rd games. For the results of collaborations with other studio and company we are celebrating it on a ships. But nobody could have forseen what happens.
I was about to become an actual member of the development team. After what felt like years of internship. After me being picked up by them because my little projects have potentials in their eyes.

"wait!. " I try to beg them to stop whatever they intend to do.
So is this how its truly ends, huh?, maybe this is all just a dream of a dead man.
The voice within the system then make another notification, this time its shown me a term I will never thought anybody will call me ever again.
