《Reincarnated as a Pillbug monster》Prologue: New World

[Uuuugh...]
I nearly threw up, but I managed to hold it in.
I shouldn't have drunk so much at the party. I shouldn't have, but I just couldn't control myself.
I mean, what asshole you need to be to invite someone to the party where they barely know a soul
and then leave them at the entrance, because some chick called them for a "talk"...
It will be fun, he said. It will be unforgettable, he said. Yeah, maybe for you.
Anyway, I need to get to the bus stop as soon as possible,
I have a test tomorrow and I don't want to miss it when I studied so much for it.
Let's see, 00:04 huh ?
I have around 30 minutes before the last bus.
.....
The bus stop should be around here somewhere, right ?
..... right ?
O.MY.GOD. Don't tell me that I just got lost, please...
Ugh, I should have paid more attention to my surroundings when I come here.
Huh ? What's this white line on the road? Maybe a line for bicycles, I guess?
And who the hell is shining that light into my eyes, I can't see shit because of it!
Hmm? Wait...
Something isn't right here...
[Welcome, please choose one of the options]
Suddenly, a voice out of nowhere started talking to me. No way, am I hallucinating now !?
But all I drank was beer and a little bit of wine, did maybe someone put something into my drink ?
Great, this night is becoming better and better...
[Please choose one of the options]
The voice said again. It was a woman's voice. Probably an adult but I'm not sure because it's was so cold and monotone...
Remind me of a girl I met at the party. She was bored as hell, came there only because of a friend.

We had a great time complaining about it, and then even exchanged numbers...
[Please choose one of the options]
The voice said again.... aaaah, I'm feel sleepy...
[Ya, ya, stop yapping. What are the options...]
I asked. This is going nowhere, might as well go with the flow... Where am I anyway?
[Acknowledged]
[[Load old world] [Create new world]]

HAA ? What the hell is this ?
I'm starting to think that I actually already passed out on my way to a bus stop... and now I'm having a really weird dream...
Not like this is the first time something like this happened to me, but still...
something just doesn't feel right...
A hologram-like projection appeared in front of me. This definitely looks like a game screen.
I wonder why am I dreaming about a game, I'm not that much of a gamer, to be honest...
Well, I go along for now. I press [Create new world].
[Acknowledged]
The voice replied in the same cold and monotone way.
[[Load old profile] [Create new profile]]
Eeeeh? I'm tempted to see what is the first choice, but I always start the game from the beginning, sooo...
I press [Create new profile].
[Acknowledged]
[Please choose the name for the new world [new name]]
[Please choose the difficulty [default]]
The voice said as two new hologram-like projections appeared in front of me.
Hmm, with the name, let's go with something simple and easy to remember. As for difficulty, I wonder which options there are...
I pressed the [new name] and a new projection appeared below the first one. It looks like a keyboard...
For the name I wrote "Roshar" and then I pressed on [default] as new projection appeared below it.
[[Easy] [Normal] [Hard] [Very Hard]]
I always play on easy or normal, it's not that I can't handle the challenge,

but I simply don't have that much free time to play a game nowadays...
Studying and all, is this why I'm having this dream ?
Anyway, I pressed [Normal]...

[Explanation: because the new world "Roshar" was only just now created, "Race Evolution" system is not established yet.]
[Solution: Change the profile race from Race:Human to a default Race:World Isotopa.]
[[Yes] [No]]
Eeeeh ? wait, wait, wait...
This is throwing red flags all over the place!!! What did the voice said anyway ?
I couldn't understand a thing, there was just too much information thrown at me all at once...
What the hell is "world isopoda" anyway ?! No way I'm gonna play as a race I haven't a clue about...
It didn't even start yet there are errors occurring already ?
Patch this shit up, dammit.
Even for a early access, this is below 0/10 !!!
Ugh, why the hell am I dreaming about this anyway ?
I'm done, where's the [Quit] button ?!
[Please choose one of the options]
The voice said, making me even more annoyed...
There isn't any [Quit] button around... How do I wake up from this nightmare ?
Do I really need to use the good old "pinch the cheek" method ?
No, wait. If I think about it, the mysterious voice responded to my voice at the beginning... Maybe...
[Quit]
...
..
.
[Quit]
The mysterious voice did not respond. This is making me even more annoyed, like I didn't have a bad day already...
[Quit, Exit, Ctrl-alt-Del...]
Nothing is working, looks like I need to use that...
[Ouch... AAAAAH !!!]
I did it with all my strength, but I still didn't wake up...
What's more, my cheeks are so painful on fire, what's going on here ?!
I shouldn't feel any pain in a dream, at least not this realistically...
[err, excuse me ?]
Suddenly, the mysterious voice responded and it didn't sound cold and monotone as before.
It catched me completely off guard, and I reflexively replied with [Yes ?]
[Acknowledged]
[The answer [Yes] has been selected]
[Changing profile race from Race:Human to Race:World Isopoda]
Wait,wait,waitwaitwait a damn second !!!
Now you heard me bitch! Even your voice recognition software is malfunctioning !
Aaaaah, I feel so sleepy, I want to just go to sleep !!!
Wait, what... What am I even saying ?
[Change complete]
[Starting the "Resurrection" system]
Stop, I can't... I can't think straight... sooo sleepy...
[System successfully started]

Unknown Fate's End
The ancient's believed that a man's fate or destiny is written already, and that only God or maybe the Gods could change it. If they did change it, it was believed it was for a purpose unknown to that man or for maybe for the ammusement of those higher beings. However, whether that is true or not, one thing is for certain. Changing a man's fate will create a ripple of changes. Join our hero, who whether by luck, by some divine intervention, or by his own choice, separated from the fate that he shared with his fellow earthlings. Watch him struggle in his new world. Watch him grow. Watch him learn. Watch him walk a path oustside what destiny has for him. FYI: The magic concept in this story is high fantasy with involvement of polytheistic religions and demons. There will be a mix of GameLit style writing mixed with traditional magic novel style writing. The plot developement will be slow in the first volume, as I will focus on world building and character building. The main character will not be OP immediately and will develop into one in his own way over time. This series is built less like modern Japanese, Korean, and Chinese webnovels and more like the old school fanstasy novels like DND and Forgotten Realms.
