Ancient Magician System

[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Greg’s a kid who’s been bullied and beaten and abused since he could think. He’s fat, weak and insecure. Looping the rope around his neck, he decides to commit suicide. As he kicks the stool and falls, he realizes that he didn't die. Instead, he’s in a puddle and the rope is gone, above him, there’s a blue moon, and in front of him, there’s a blue game-like window.
