I was at home, sitting in front of my computer.
Thinking about ending my life.
It wasn't a new idea. It had been circling in my head for a long time.
That day it simply felt… like the most logical ending.
Then it happened.
A tab appeared out of nowhere, floating in front of me, as if it were a browser window open in the air.
The text was simple.
"Would you like to change worlds?"
Below it there were only two options.
Yes.
No.
I stared at it for a few seconds.
"...I was going to kill myself anyway."
If this was a joke, a hallucination, or some kind of nonsense… it didn't really matter.
So I pressed yes.
The screen changed instantly.
"What kind of world would you like to live in?"
Four tabs appeared.
Ancient era.
Medieval era.
Modern era.
Futuristic era.
I smiled for the first time in a long time.
"I want an isekai."
I chose medieval era.
Another window appeared immediately.
"Do you want a world with only humans or with other races?"
I pressed other races.
"I'd like to have an elf."
A new screen opened.
World configuration.
Single continent.
Several.
Many.
I chose many.
"If I'm going to be there… there might as well be a lot to explore."
The options kept appearing.
Wars: moderate.
Wealth: moderate.
Religions: several.
Languages: by race and region.
Ruins: many.
Each choice made it feel more real.
More solid.
More… possible.
"Now I actually want to try this."
The final window appeared.
It was much simpler than all the previous ones.
"Character creation."
Below it there was only one instruction.
"Press the button to roll a 100-sided die and determine your starting points."
I looked at the button.
For the first time in a long time…
I felt curious about what would happen next.
So I clicked.
Without hesitation.
