"Sim, eu fui realmente transportado para outro mundo,
Na verdade, aconteceu de estar dentro de um jogo
Eu costumava jogar o tempo todo
Quando eu era criança em um console de 16 bits,
E não só isso, eu fui reencarnado como
Um inimigo aquático de baixo nível em um nível subaquático!!"

~Prólogo~

...Quem eu sou, ou o que eu sou não importa muito exatamente.

Para ser honesto, mesmo a morte da minha vida passada anterior não tem muito significado também,
ou então eu teria reencarnado em um mundo que tem homens sem dentes
ameaçando me esfaquear com agulhas ou algo parecido.
Não, minha última morte que não vejo tem nada a ver com a situação atual em que estou.
Mas posso dar uma pequena ideia do que estava fazendo pouco antes de tudo terminar, talvez apenas para dar algumas informações básicas.

Eu estava apenas vivendo cada dia, de um dia para o outro, sem mais um objetivo ou plano real à vista.
Comecei a viver todos os dias apenas vivendo o momento,
e eu estava bem com isso. Após o início do novo ano,
Eu tinha percebido pela minha idade que era tarde demais para eu realmente entrar em algo e pagar também para viver,
então por que não viver apenas curtindo as pequenas coisas que a vida tem a oferecer?
Eu simplesmente nunca fui adequado para competir,
e isso provavelmente é apenas parte da minha personalidade central.

Na época, essa foi a melhor escolha que eu poderia fazer para sobreviver e não enlouquecer e morrer sozinho
dentro da sociedade em que eu estava sobrevivendo.
Eu costumava me lembrar de ter pensado em como, se eu tivesse nascido como um humano agora, muito mais avançado no futuro do que no período em que eu estava,
então as coisas provavelmente teriam sido muito mais diferentes para mim e para os padrões de vida e a qualidade de vida de outras pessoas.
Mas para aquela vida anterior, simplesmente nasci em uma época em que as coisas apenas
não foram avançados o suficiente em relação à sociedade humana e ao equilíbrio entre vida pessoal e profissional, e o que você realmente pode fazer a respeito?

De qualquer forma, isso é tudo passado. E eu nunca poderei voltar para aquela vida,
ou até mesmo querer experimentá-lo novamente. O que está feito está feito.
O que é incrível, é que nesta encarnação atual,
Ainda me lembro da minha vida passada...
até aqui! Mas quando eu estava na minha encarnação passada, eu não conseguia me lembrar de nenhuma outra vida passada,
exceto por fragmentos em meus sonhos, mas eu nunca
conectou os dois,
e como eu poderia, quando os humanos daquele período nem mesmo entendem completamente o que são os sonhos.
Devo ter tido muitas, muitas vidas agora que penso nisso.
Talvez em algum momento no futuro, eu seja capaz de começar a me lembrar de mais e mais encarnações
como se fosse uma consciência em vez de memórias separadas e fragmentadas entre diferentes personas.

Quanto ao que eu sou agora, é algo que nem parece real, mas de tudo que posso reunir e entender
até agora que tenho consciência da minha existência,
é que isso é de fato realidade;
Eu reencarnei dentro de um dos jogos que costumava jogar quando era criança!

...O que é, para dizer o mínimo, aparentemente impossível ou difícil de entender,
porque, como a maioria das pessoas daquela época, eu nem sabia ou entendia o conceito
que eu poderia até mesmo ser reencarnado em um videogame literal.

Na minha vida passada, nessa realidade, era de conhecimento comum que os videogames
não eram tecnicamente reais, pois eram apenas coisas criadas por pessoas para entretenimento,
e que os objetos
dentro dessas telas não tinha qualquer senciência;
nem mesmo o de um organismo unicelular para comparar.
Não eram lugares tangíveis, apenas fictícios.
Havia uma distinção clara entre realidade e não realidade (bom para a maioria, mas para alguns realmente não havia)

Mesmo para mim, isso muda tudo agora que eu havia pensado que seria possível.

Se eu tentar imaginar as reações de outras pessoas a esse cenário, será semelhante a como comecei a processar minha situação;
"Uau, estou em um dos videogames de que realmente gostei! Isso é muito melhor do que a rotina diária da vida normal mundana!"

Mas as coisas começam a desmoronar, ou talvez se encaixar,
quando perceber que você nem mesmo é o personagem principal,
ou sua própria pessoa individual, mas sim, você é o inimigo esquecível de classe baixa entre muitos como você.
Também começa a bater quando percebo que nem mesmo tenho controle sobre
qualquer coisa que eu puder fazer. "

~Capítulo 1~

*~*

Ausência de tempo.

Pode ou não haver outra pessoa além de mim aqui,
mas na mínima chance de haver alguém lendo,
ou ouvir, ou transcrever esta informação que está na minha mente, e que está fora do meu presente
reality as a passive observer, I might as well go into more details
of my current existence anyways, since there is not much to do as it is in this state at the
moment. It is also good to curve off
the imminent creeping of insanity, in any case.

To recap over to the uninitiated or those popping in just now,
I have unfortunately been seemingly reincarnated as a mere octopus-like enemy from a television
video game I played when I was younger. Even now the name is starting to escape me,
as my past life is slipping by my memory into dust particles of nothingness.
The unfortunate part I remember was that I wasn't
someone who stood out or did anything noteworthy of being remembered by my species,
so there will never be record of me
and my memories of that time. I just did things like enjoying myself with games, and that really wasn't too
important to anybody else.

Anyways, the game itself did involve ape-like creatures who had traits more of human than
animal
, and very good music that I would leave on to just to listen to that.

I'm not sure where to even properly start, so I will note things on a go-by
basis so I can myself get more
grounded in my situation, otherwise I might start decaying into some-form
of insanity as previously said.
I really will have to just have hope there is someone other than me who is
able to interpret these words however
they are able; that I am not truly alone in here. There I go already. Okay.

Pretend that this is an interview, or a documentary and will be consumed by many other minded individuals.
Comparing my current self to my past life experience,
I could only see from what was called first-person view,
as in I could only see from my eyes on my face directly, except when I was sleeping and had dreams,
but that's something else entirely on its own
In this reality, however, I know that I AM the octopus-like enemy,
but I am not seeing directly from its point of view.
I'm looking at this as how I did when I would play the game, via a screen. But in this case the screen doesn't move, the
perspective doesn't change,
and I just watch myself going 'round and 'round in my same directory pattern, never
altering my
course. Some would argue,
myself as well, how this could even be considered as
myself as this sprite since I am not seeing out of it nor can I control it,
but like seeing a door open
on it's own, you just instintively know what is and what it is, and question
it all you might you know it is what is true inside.

The "very good" music I mentioned earlier is playing on repeat; the instrumental
music has an airy feel to it,

an ethereal smoothness in its transgressions. You could tell the music
was made to be used for its
purpose of showcasing through sound a watery, mythical and slightly somber world.
Despite how good this one track is, I am truthfully a bit scared that since
it hasn't stopped at all yet,
that it may drive me eventually closer to....not liking it.
I'm going to be an optomistic for a quickie that at LEAST it wasn't the music from the first stage that was the jungle.
It's not that that's a bad song by any stretch of the imagination,
but with how upbeat it was and its musical progression throughout as I am
trying to recall as much as possible,
I would get tired of it much faster than this much more calming song.
If someone asked me what song I could only play for the rest of my life on
my listening device in my past life, then it would be this naturally anyways.
Of course, I haven't been around for that long here I can imagine, so who knows what may happen?
Maybe I will be able to eventually gain control over my form and go to other
places and
communicate with someone else -someone I can actually see.
The thought that I am somewhat losing my old memories
steadily means that I'm still connected to the past world and have to
properly transgression into this one completely.

It's like how human babies were born out of the womb before their brains fully formed,
because if they had to wait until then they wouldn't have been able to be born on account
of being too big to naturally get out. Maybe its like that for me too,
and that I will be okay with this alien and so-far dull existence as a sprite of an octopus-like thing.
It could be that soon I won't even identify my being as an octopus, since I won't know what an octopus is.
I'm okay with that.

Am I okay with that.

The only thing so far that I can remember not remembering, ironically is the name of this place and game.
I can't remember names and titles, that's it. I know what music this is for
instance, but I don't know the title. I'll confess now that it's not so much that I don't remember,
I do, but I'm kind of scared to think aloud these things in their proper titles. Not in an in-danger sort of scared,
but more like my mental process is actively trying to block this information to me on the surface level for some reason.
Am I trying to protect myself by knowing less, and gradually,

to knowing nothing? It may be. It may be the monotomy getting to me; this static state of being, the same song,
the same movements, the same visual cues on repeat...

But things may change, so I don't know anything much yet until I gain more
information in my surroundings and on watch for any sort of abnormal change, no matter how slight it is.

...time.

That's a dilemna I'm presented with, is the absense of time as
I know it and have been physically and mentally used to it being there.
Recording Time was something that was used as a tool to an
extent to understanding the world around me,
and how to go about things and so that life could process. Days.
Days of the Week.
Months, Years, and Centuries and Eons (those last two didn't really matter to me personally).
I had felt many instances where time was against me, as all humans have felt (who know what time is), but now I miss it.
I miss using it as a tool and foundation in my stability,
something I couldn't think about until it disappeared.

But wait; it's not that time entirely has vanished from my perception, has it.
No. Just being able to in a physical way see and record time with the use of clocks and the
changing between light and dark in the surroundings.
Just because Recording Time, as I am used to,
isn't available, doesn't mean I can't use time still to my own use.
This seemingly eternal music, for example,

even though it repeats over and over again, I can tell roughly where by concentrating on it

where the music does end as the composer intended to end it and where it starts again in a smooth loop.
It's not as obvious because of its ambivalent composition as to that of the jungle level's
more distinct progressions, but I can pin-point out the end all the same.
And that is how I'll be measuring the progress of time.
The best that I can at the moment for now. It's almost lucky that I haven't gotten
much to distract me, besides myself and my stream of thoughts. Though there is that lingering expectation of

something that may happen almost constantly, it's a good type of anxiety,

but still is keeping my hopes up, and also keeping me on edge about the possibilities of the unknown.
So I'll have to balance these two out, and have keeping track of time as a priority for now.

There it is, there's the part where the loud melody
starts to dwindle and evaporate into the sound of mellow hammering. A-1....1 A.R.

01 A.R.

After Recording. The first loop since recording, but not from the time of my awareness of consciousness here.
Later at some point I can maybe roughly estimate the difference between the two.
I can't close my eyes, but counting as I was taught in school the seconds,
the loop of the song would correlate to being as long as 3 minutes, give or take.
It seems a bit tough to constantly keep track of, but I can try my best is all there is to it.
I'll have to restart the counting again because I've been focusing
on how long the song was. 24 hours made up a day...so I just will have to do the math.
3 minutes, check, 01. counter: 01. End loop.
Start loop. da-di-da-da....
twinkle twinkle. sparkle sparkle.
da-na-naaaa----. 3 minutes, end loop, check, 02. Counter: 02
Start loop. Doo-doo-doo-doo-doooo ---...doodoodoodoo. There's a rising up in there somewhere.
twinkle sparkle. DA-NA-NAAAAA.
DA NAA-NA-na-na-naaaanana~~. 3 minutes, end loop, check, 03. Counter: 03.

Is God there? Is anybody there? Is there anyone who can give me an answer besides myself? end loop,
check, 04. Counter: 04.
No, I just have to focus and do only this counting until 24 hours has gone by,
then I will see if anything has changed.
At least if nothing has passed, at least I can now that a normal 24 hour period has gone by.
end loop. check 05 counter 05.

~Capítulo 2~

*~*

Lembrando de Ícaro.

Yeah, I don't even get the ability or pleasure to be able to sleep.
Now that's something else right there. Funny how I once upon a time I had wished
I didn't have to sleep, so I could keep doing the things
I wanted to instead of wasting my time sleeping. Like this game that I'm in now.

I saw it as wasting my life away. Sleeping that is.
Insofar I don't have the tiredness at all of staying up for probably 18 hours straight.
Octopus-like images that are made up of programming code and pixels, that shouldn't even have
any form of consciousness of any kind, they don't need sleep. That's me, and its cursed, but also useful.

I'm only tired not due to energy usage but due to being fully aware at all times and not being
able to turn off my thought processes.
Guess I got my random thoughtless wish granted.

I tried to keep up with my counting of the sound loops,
but my mind just couldn't do that for that long, and with no end really
in sight despite having a goal to count up to 24 hours, I couldn't help my mind
wandering about other things and scenarios and what-ifs.

Concentrating so hard on this music and nothing else, made me feeling like something was snapping in my
synapses, even though I don't know exactly where those are located right now,

and so I'm actually tuning out the music. Again, probably my conscious mind taking over trying to protect
me once more from the pain and strain of repetition.
Now here comes a creeping little thought, but just due to the fact that I do exist like this now,

within this game, does that mean this whole time, all these games I would play,

the enemies and characters,
really did all have their own consciousness? Like me,
trapped in sequence and nothing to do except wait for the player character to come by and
kill them or they try to kill the player? What is
interesting is that I haven't seen the Player yet. I could be in someone's cartridge or rom file,
alive in a sense in "real-time" and possibly have them come along once they start playing? Of course
I can't seem to communicate yet in a verbal way outside of my inner consciousness, but maybe I can if the
opportunity arises when another consciousness lifeform appears?
If there is someonething that is shaping the laws of this universe, then its kind of sick to
have me be awake while the person who owns this game isn't even playing.
Why not spare me some suffering, small as it may be, and just have me unconscious while the game is off.

Unless the game is on right now, then that could mean that the player character just isn't here yet...

There are so many probables and not a concrete answer yet for me.
I'm still not trying to think of this as a hell, well there it goes, but if anyone thinks their life is hell,

then let's switch realities, okay? It would be nice if I could know at least why I'm being punished in this way,
but then again we're dealing with a Royal Asshole of Energy Matter here. I'm going to file a complaint I swear.
Usually sleep would give me a form of escape, and then I would feel somewhat refreshed upon waking,
but having also that taken from me, well, it kind of sucks to be always able
to think, to have POWER ON constantly. I've given up on using
Recorded Time for now for a bit, but I can maybe try to simulate sleep in some way.
It's not has hard as tracking time, because this I can try to melt away or
doze off. Could call it meditation. Though I can't close my eyes, wherever they are.

It really doesn't matter. Yeah, see, even though I don't sleep like others,
the mind can't always be going 100%, so there are lulls where
I just kind of "blank" out
that's sort of like sleep. A bootleg version of sleep. But it's better than nothing. I'm feeling a bit better now,
although the random thought has slipped its way in thinking about how if only I could try to think of
another song I know, but can't think of any when there's always
this constant score pervading those areas of thought.
I'll stop hating on the music for now and going to make the
best of my situation, and think of the good times that included this world.
When I was a kid, I didn't just play video games, as in get to one goal to the next,
I pretend-lived in them as well; something I ended up forgetting to do even though I kept playing
games into my adulthood.
In those early years I didn't get to play that many games,

since they were quite expensive or whatever reason,

so even while had finished a game or was in the process of beating it I would let my imagination run loose and live

as if I were the character inside of the TV screen. Just had to make the most out of what you owned, plus
being a kid naturally you had always exercised your imagination without

thinking about it. Adult life ended up boring me down, so I became more dull over-time.
When you have nothing going on in your life, then you start reliving your past memories.

I don't feel bad about doing that now because it's something I can preoccupy
myself with. No one could blame me if they were in my situation.

I don't even know yet if I can experience sensational, outter pain yet.
Even that would be something amazing. Eating food. The pleasure of eating and experiencing food not out of hunger
but just because it feels good. Or those times I truly was so hungry,

that a 1.50 cheeseburger felt like the most intense sensation I've ever had. I would literally

blow a hole in my brain with a nail gun if I was able to eat a cheeseburger again.
Don't know how that would work now, but I am relishing in this fantasy.

Maybe thinking too much about the past isn't good, afterall.
Can drive one crazy.

But when you try to not think of anything, the past just shows up anyways on a regular basis.
Sometimes things that I thought I would never think of again,

that had no real important to me,

somehow surfaces once more out of nowhere.
Like just now, as I was thinking up of this last string of words,

a thought emerging from the darkness on the sides sprung forth,

about the time I was learning about Icarus and flying towards the sun in school.

Was he even a real person, well no,
because people couldn't fly back in those times.

The point of learning about this story was the lesson and metaphors to be learned, and not so important

that Icarus was real or not. I again have no idea why Icarus has risen from the dusty
trail to stand before me, but even people who never existed tend to feel
like they truly did exist, or how normal people would worship these figures

of imagination in their own right. Icarus wants to be real to me
right now in this predicament of a hellhole and wasteland of void.

Maybe thinking too much about the past isn't good afterall,
even when it has nothing to really do with me.

Can drive one crazy, if I'm not crazy enough already as it is. I know as a

fact you can never reach a limit of "too-crazy", however. Now that's scary.

Well if I can't think about the past in too much at once,

and the present sucks and the future is completely unknown and inconceviable,

then WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK? FUCK ITS HIM, ITS THAT.

ITS. WAIT.

WAAAIIIT. NO DON'T STOP.
HEY CAN YOU HEAR ME.

MOVE MOVE IN A CIRCLE IF YES. HAHA YES, YES.

FUCK.
