Marigold – A LitRPG

Chapter 1: I died?!



Death and life

My name is Hana, a humble librarian who lived until the age of 33 without family, friends or anyone to miss me.

I was working just like I had done all my life and then... A huge earthquake hit my city, buildings fell, the ground opened up and... Fire, so much fire, it spread burning like dried straw, I couldn't run, everything was blocked, I couldn't scream, my lungs were burning with ashes and embers. No matter how hard I tried, my flesh and will, everything soon as eaten by the fire.

The next thing I remember is being here, floating in a vast space of pure black, I couldn't move, I couldn't see, feel or speak. I didn't know how much time had passed by, any time seemed like an eternity. Had I survived? I was completely debilitated, forever trapped in a broken body locked on a bed, without family, friends or anyone to even cry for me?

I rambled on, thinking about my apparently miserable situation, and eventually I realized that my body felt heavy...

As if a huge pressure was being put on me, like being tied down by tight ropes, I tried to move and I could feel it... feel that I moved! After so much time, a feeling was nothing more than comforting!

I kept moving, but it was more like struggling, I couldn't feel the needles or the soft bed I was supposed to be on? What kind of situation is this? I kept shaking from a side to another, and soon I could feel a crack, clearly a crack! Something had broken!

Soon my whole body began to itch, as if to tell me to continue what I'd been doing until now, it felt like an "instinct?
I couldn't stand the tingling sensation in my body, it was too much, I had to make it stop, I kept swinging, faster and harder!

CRACK, CRACK--- C-

I'm out! I can breathe and move again! but something's wrong...
My arms, since when do I have 4 of them?!? My vision, it's strange, I can see more than before, but differently, it's confusing as hell!!!

I feel weak, all that work to get out of that darkness... From that egg?? And now this?!?! It can only be some kind of dream or nightmare.

I waited for a while, what seems like a long time, and soon I feel hungry... This can't be a dream, I'm too conscious to be one, could this be the famous Isekai that everyone dream about so much?

All right, I think I can handle it... Maybe? If I remember these stories correctly, the reincarnated protagonist should be very powerful or at least have a stolen ability. How do I find out if a have those powers? I need to speak Status?
