first person perspective

-------------------

"SHIT, Dokja." I huffed, smirking. "What a life savior you are." He smiled proudly.

"Stop standing like a tree like that, you have all those coins and didn't invest in agility at the last second?"

"We're both dead, nutjob."

We were fighting off multiple creatures after a dickhead oh so named, Yu Junghyeok appeared and snatched Gilyeong from Dokja.

"You know what, killing two people don't seem that bad." I could feel my exhaustion creeping in, as I spent 800 coins on leveling up my stamina by two levels. Dokja stayed silent, assuming that he's trying to keep his breath. 

"Pathetic." I whipped my head towards the voice. Really, you were a handsome guy, but annoying ass personality like the guys in college. But then I realized I didn't feel an aura of a reader near me. I saw Dokja getting pushed down from the monsters, looking at me with a desperate face as he consumed an item. I froze at the sight while a monster clawed at me, as blood seeped out my clothes, releasing a groan from me as I limped to Dokja's area. Simultaneously, Dokja had already...

Died.

"No..." I uttered as tears begged to escape my eyes. I clenched my eyelids shut as I applied quick pressure on my wound, and held a sword stance. I started to laugh, maniacally.

"Gilyeong..." I turned around to see the young boy, seeing terror in his eyes. "I'll see you someday again in another life."

"Take care."

[ YOU HAVE DIED. ]

-------------------

Another chance.

Another chance at life.

Everyone lives once.

It wasn't that bad for the past few days.

Why hadn't I just died at my worst times?

It's always when a character dies they die at their best, but never the worst.

I chuckled as it echoed through the black room I was in. As I kept laughing, it quickly began to turn into sobs as I tucked my knees in. 

What was there to do?

I was dead.

Crying isn't going to help, but I was just floating in space. 

I wept.

Wept.

And wept.

"It's not like some god, or a constellation is gonna hear me." I cried, then I stood up, pulling strands of my hair back from my face, laughing maniacally as tears still spilled from my face. 

"I didn't think I'd be reliving my nightmare being dead... Heck I didn't think I'd die this early..." I cracked, crouching. "So, why am I still alive..?" Still echoed, with no answer, until a footstep approached.

"My my... You're questioning a lot of things." Clapping erupting from that direction as I quickly turned around holding up a fighting stance as I saw a body slowly emerge with hands up. "Now, you're not necessarily strong without coins, correct?" I sneered.
