The surroundings shone brightly.
"Ah…!" Nawfi stirred awake. "Why is it so bright here?"
His eyelids fluttered as he tried to adjust.
"How long was I asleep? Feels like… forever."
Then—
"Wait… what?"
He finally managed to open his eyes, only to find himself floating in an empty space, engulfed by dazzling light.
"Am I… still dreaming?" He forced a chuckle,"Yeah… must be a dream. Hehe… no need to panic. I'll wake up soon."
Silence. The light remained. The weightless sensation didn't fade.
"No… no… this can't be real!" His voice wavered. His eyes darted around in confusion. "And what's with this place? Why am I floating?!"
Then—he stopped mid-sentence.
"Wait a minute…" His gaze lowered,"Before coming here… I went to the classroom to meet Ayane, and then…"
He frowned.
"Then… I went home, I think."
Taking a deep breath, he tried to recall.
"Oh… right. A girl… She was about to get hit by a truck, and I tried to save her but.."
His breath hitched.
"…I got hit instead."
A hollow chuckle escaped his lips.
"Haha… so that's it, huh! I must be dead."
He let out a small sigh.
"At least… the girl is safe. That's a relief."
But then—what now?
"What am I supposed to do? Am I going to stay like this forever?"
His thoughts spiraled, and before he knew it, a wild idea popped into his head.
"Hehe… if I got reincarnated into another world like in a light novel…"
A faint blush crept onto his face before he quickly shook his head.
"Hmph! I'm just kidding! That's just a fantasy… Right?"

"And lastly, Athlete! That's right. I was so weak before. It's time for me to shine." He grinned, imagining himself reincarnated in an athletic body, the strongest of them all, becoming king.
[Nawfi's fantasy of becoming king]
"My King , we need your help. You are the only one who can defeat them," Imaginary Shougo-kun said.
"My liege, give me your order. I will slaughter anyone who dares to defy you," Imaginary General Kenji spoke fiercely.
"How dare you speak such filthy manner in front of our lord? You arrogant fools!" Imaginary Prime Minister Almus snapped.
"What do you want, you maggot?!"
"I think… you don't want to live anymore, huh?!"
The argument nearly escalated into a fight.
"Silence!!" Imaginary King Nawfi shouted majestically.
Everyone fell silent in fear. The entire corridor was still.
Present day,
"Hehe…" Nawfi gave a creepy smile, acting all smart.
"So, you're the one." He clicked on the Athlete option.
