Am I dead? Why can't I move?

Where am I? Am I in a hospital? I can't see anything! Am I blind?

"******," a voice that wasn't his own reached his ears.

"*********."

"*****?"

Is someone there? Hello?

Muffled voices could be heard talking back to each other.

He tried to move, but he couldn't. He tried to speak to ask something, but his voice was blocked. He wasn't even sure if he was still breathing.

Who's that? I think I need help over here. Did I get in an accident? He was getting more and more restless, being unable to move as he wanted to.

He felt like he should just stop thinking useless thoughts and go back to sleep, but he could've been kidnapped and was currently being shipped to someplace else.

I think I didn't offend anyone. I'm the one that's supposed to be offended! I'm not even rich or handsome.

Suddenly he could feel someone coming closer.

Did they discover that I'm awake?

"A worthy spirit," the voice finally said something audible. It's like there was a barrier of some sort in between, muffling the conversation before.

What spirit? I'm still alive, right?

Why aren't you answering me? Who paid you to take me?

"..."

Please don't kill me!

I can't pay you that much, but maybe we can work something out.

"..."

I think I know where my former manager hid his secret safe.

"..."

Can you even hear me?

But the unfamiliar voice didn't bother answering any of his questions, and with a dismissive tone, it leisurely declared, "Your memories... you no longer need them."

What the? Who do you think you are? God?

What can you even–wait, why does it hurt all of a sudden? What are you doing? At least have the guts to show your face to me—Aaargh!!!

The feeling being instantly frozen penetrated straight to my very bones and spread throughout my entire body. The plummeting then soon followed as I thought, I would never be able to open my eyes again.

In the darkness, my body felt like the embodiment of weightlessness, like I was being submerged in a body of water, when my vision gradually came back to me as I emerged from my deep sleep.

I thought I was thrown into the sea tied to a rock but I'm even in a much dangerous place. I think I just woke up from a dream.

What was that voice I heard earlier? Wait, did I even hear something? Was that a dream? What time is it? I don't want to go to work. I just want to play on my PC all day! Let me check today's date to see if there is a holiday.

Wait... I can't move a muscle. I can think straight, but why can't I move?

As my eyelids slowly opened, countless landscapes passed by my field of vision, as I seemed to be drifting a few hundred meters above the ground with no certain direction.

including tundra, molten hot lava regions, mountains, oceans, islands, and deserts. I drifted over towns, cities, and giant towers. Oceans and seas filled with calamities and vast open fields—and this time, an enormous continent enveloped by fog.
