"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?"
