"SON OF A BITCH!"
[What did I say about remaining calm?]
"Ahhhh! I can't believe this shit!"
[Believe it]
"It's bad enough that I was stupid enough to cause my own death but...!"
[It still hasn't been confirmed you're dead yet...]
"...but..."
[But?]
"...but to add insult to injury, I've been sent to another world like in some shitty 'Isekai' Manga!"
[Isekai's really aren't that bad. Only poor execution of it...though that's just my opinion]
"Will you shut the hell up already!" Filled to the brim with anger, Raymond began gasping for air.
[Let it all out of your system.]
"Hah...hah...hah...!"
[You done?]
"...Yeah"
[Good. As much as I enjoyed your adorable little freakout, like I said, we're pressed on time. So let's finish this little "Q & A" session before the "project" starts]
"About that, why does this...well...whatever this is...have the same title as my..."
[That's not for me to say. But your project is, in part, one of the reasons you're here so it seemed appropriate]
"Uh-huh" (Yeah...that sounds like a load of BS. But this thing is probably not gonna say anymore so I'll drop it for now)
[Let's stop talking about the past, and more about our mutually beneficial future. You know what you have to ask]
"Sigh...How do I play this game?"
[The rules are simple, you'll be inserted into the world as a simple background character and all you have to do is survive. And if you survive, you just might be able to go back home]
"I'll be able to go back?! You'll send me back?
[Not me, I have no influence in this world]
"Then how do you know I can go back?"
[Because I'm the "Guide". Like everyone else in the universe, there are things I know...and things I don't know]
(How convenient for you) "And all I have to do is just...survive? That's it?"
[That's it]
"And for how long do I have to survive"
[You should strive to stay alive past
'Part 2'
of the main story is finished. That should guarantee your safety]
"Part 2...you mean after the
'4th Shinobi World War'
is over?"
[Correct. When I say "survive", I mean become strong enough to the point no one can really threaten you]
"Why not later, like during the sequel series
'Boruto'
?"
[This "game" takes place during the events of
'Naruto'
not
'Boruto'
]
"So, there will be no influence from Sequel?"
[Just a little, but hardly anything noticeable. If you make it past
"Part 2",
you shouldn't have anything to worry about. This
'game'
is supposed to be interesting]
"Interesting?"
[Of course! Otherwise, there'd be no point in doing all of this!]
"...In other words, I'm just a source of entertainment for you"
[I'll certainly have fun but, you're not here to entertain me. But definitely "
someone"
else. And that is all I will say on
"that"
matter]
"......So just survive then. Alright, I can work with that."
[Hm? Someone's awfully chipper now]
"Well it's just, I thought it was gonna be hard but who knew it'd be so easy"
[Oh, and just who said it was going to be easy?]
"...What?"
